It’s time for the Splatfest! The theme for this Splatfest is Funny Man Vs Straight Man. Team Blue are attending. and they go to the terminal in front of the lobby and Headphones explains to Goggles that a Splatfest is a festival and somehow Goggles went a bit silly and thought it was something real. Apparently a Splatfest is a Turf War Festival. Afterwards Team Blue are split up with Goggles and Bobble Hat on Funny Man and Specs and Headphones are on Straight Man, since they’re split up, they’ll be fight each other and Specs believes he won’t lose! They head to battle and wonder what team they’ll end up with…

Goggles and Bobble Hat are teamed up with Gloves and Hachi, while Specs and Headphones are teamed up with Prince and Skull. This battle is going to be crazy and fun! The result of the Splatfest is decided by the number of votes and wins between the Funny Man and Straight Man teams, Basically they’re meant to do lots of Turf Wars and win!

The match is set in the New Albacore Hotel which is made out of floors with grates and glass where they can’t dive. The battle begins with Team Funny Man making a fast start, Goggles and Gloves roll which looks weird even though they’re cool. As they march smoothly, Googles and Hachi are struck down by the might of the two chargers. Gloves and Bobble Hat decide to move away and Headphones activates her Stingray at them! Gloves and Bobble Hat evaded the attack, but Goggles was hit… even though he was far away! So Gloves and Bobble Hat decides to counterattack by using Double Tenta Missiles at Headphones and Skull! Headphones was struck down and Skull dodges the attack, but he fell in the water! Team Funny Man moves forward and paint away while the long range weapons recharge, but they were stopped by Prince and Specs who attack them at close range! The activate their Inkjets and Specs flew up very fast like a rocket! Prince defeats Gloves and Headphones and Skull defeat everyone else! Specs then returns to the ground after a nightmarish ride on the Inkjet.

Only Goggles remains and Team Straight Man is rapidly pushing back, Goggles and Team Funny Man are in trouble! Specs tells him that the straight man has to pay more attention and to the bit than anyone to make the right remark at the right time. And a Turf War needs perfect timing too! He tells Goggles that this is the true power of Team Straight Man, Goggles keeps on dodging frantically, refusing to give up and then his clothes came off! He was dodging and his clothes came off, which shocks Specs because clothes don’t just come off!

Gloves decides to give Goggles his clothes back and dodge rolls to him to give them back, but Goggles grabbed Gloves’ center front tentacle instead off his clothes and it came off ,causing Gloves to get very upset! The others try to calm him down but Team Funny Man all fell into the water! Team Straight Man couldn’t stop reacting to it, the power of the Funny Man is unbelievable! Goggles realizes that Team Straight Man is tired for some reason and Team Funny Man start their comeback, Gloves switched his weapon and tentacle and defeats Prince. Bobble Hat slips on a banana peel causing her slosher to fall onto Specs’ head! Hachi gives Skull a Pickled Plum because they’re good for when you’re tired. And Goggles has trouble putting his clothes on and defeats Headphones in the process! The Funny and Straight Man are all over the place.

The battle becomes more ridiculous as Team Funny and Straight Man are all over the place and they still won’t know who will win! Skull uses Ink Storm and he was disappointed that it only rains down ink! Team Straight Man still have a chance, Specs asks them to split up and ink the stage, but their plan was thwarted by Goggles and Hachi who were doing a **DOUBLE SPLASHDOWN!!** They defeated Team Straight Man in the process! and their clothes came off too!

Team Funny Man wins the battles they decide to battle more, Specs decides to get a drink before that and Goggles and Bobble Hat decide to eat too! Then they notice some people that Skull knows who are not wearing Splatfest tees, Skull asks them if they’re going to participate but before he finishes he recognises that one of them is Vintage, Skull tells them that they’re the X-Blood (X Ranked team) Apparently they were the team that Army was talking about, They weren’t wearing Splatfest tees because they’re not attending the Splatfest, There’s an even bigger festival coming up, and Pearl has got some big news!
