Inkopolis

**Inkopolis** is a city in the Splatoon Universe and the setting of most films in KB's *Splatoon* fan fiction universe.

## Location overview

Many evolved versions of sea creatures settle there, particularly the Inklings, Octolings and Jellyfish.

It was twinned with another city, Splatsville.

## Location history

### Origins of Inkopolis

Inkopolis was established long after Earth had been submerged by the rising sea levels during the Great Thaw which ended the 50 million year-long Second Cryogenian that wiped out most of the KB *Splatoon* world's land-dwelling inhabitants. The oldest city in the KB Splatoon world, the estimated establishment date for Inkopolis was 0 ME (Mollusk Era), 12,000 years before the events of the KB *Splatoon* films.

The city is frequently under threat from an Octarian terrorist organization known as OCTOPUS (DJ Octavio's Octarian Project Unified Society), whose leader's attempts are always thwarted by the resident Inklings and Octolings.

### Colorless Era

Main article: Colorless Era

The Colorless Era is an infamous time period that stretched within several months of the year 12,014 ME and characterized by all the colors of Inkopolis being stolen by OCTOPUS using a large color-extracting machine, leaving the city and its inhabitants stuck in grayscale. The colors are eventually returned to Inkopolis thanks to the efforts by a group of Inkopolitans led by Conan, an Inkling detective.

### Squid Flu Pandemic

Main article: Squid Flu Pandemic

Inkopolis experienced another dark era when the squid flu pandemic struck the city. Squid flu germs modified by OCTOPUS were released through the city's sewers and a male Inkling became the first Inkopolitan to be infected. As a result, the premise where he caught the squid flu germ was put under quarantine. This caused everyone to panic and run around screaming, inadvertently causing them to be infected as well. Callie and Marie of the Squid Sisters and Pearl and Marina of Off the Hook were among the infected after a quarantine attempt was botched by a group of Octarians. A strict lockdown was declared on Inkopolis, forbidding Inklings and Octolings from performing most of their activities and causing almost every building in Inkopolis to close down temporarily.

The pandemic was announced to have reached Splatsville weeks after the Inkopolis lockdown was declared.
