Art by Camper222. Look, I like-a da jobbers. I like-a da training of the jobbers. And Marina is... a damn good candidate for a jobber. So go and lose to her you simp.
Marina wasn't built for wartime nursing, but she managed to do so and be discharged with honor. She wasn't built to be a popstar, but with Pearl at her side she managed to keep her cool. She wasn't built to be a newscaster, but she used her skills to manage... but this? This was a much bigger step. Marina, in no way, was built to be a boxer, but Pearl wouldn't take that as an answer, so here she was. Hopefully she doesn't embarrass herself...

Marina is an Octoling that appears to be taller and more curvaceous than most Inklings and Octolings. She has dark brown skin, teal eyes with reddish-pink horizontal pupils (which real-life octopuses have) in the shape of an infinity symbol and two eyelashes each, and dark brown tentacles with teal tips that can also change completely to one color; they are kept very long, arriving past her waist. She also has dark teal eyebrows that are constantly downturned in a "worried" expression, a teal gradient on her fingers, and a beauty mark at the left of her lips. Like Pearl, and unlike other Octolings, her sharp teeth are in the center on both the top and bottom, instead of being asymmetrical. She has also stated that she has multiple hearts, like how real-life octopuses do.
Her outfit consists of a sleeveless, high-collared black top that bares her midriff, showing a teal navel piercing. It has a large, mostly undone silver zipper with an infinity symbol-shaped hole resembling the pupils of her eyes. She has black puffy shorts with a diagonal waistline and slanted grooves that light up in sync with the music; under them are teal tights and black boots with big undone silver zippers with 8-shaped holes like the one on her top. She wears large black headphones with teal rings on the sides of them, covering her ears, and black fingerless gloves. According to her Inkopolis News dialogue, this outfit and Pearl's matching one were designed by a graduate of Inkblot Art Academy. As seen in Splatfest artwork and Marina's Dev Diaries, she also occasionally wears glasses. During Splatfests, the teal on her design changes to match the color of the team she chose, except for her eyebrows.
Marina is more reserved than her bandmate Pearl. She speaks in a sweet, gentle manner, but can get very sassy in response to others teasing her. She is more sentimental and tender-hearted than Pearl, and has been known to break down crying in public when sufficiently touched. Despite her shyness, she does not appear to be concerned about expressing herself. She is forgetful[ and has been observed to forget the news she and Pearl are broadcasting. Her timidity shows when she sees an Inkling watching her through the window; when she notices them, she smiles awkwardly and waves. This behavior likely comes from the fact that many believe her to be an Inkling even though she learned the Inkling language recently and that she looks very different from the Inklings; her Octoling-like appearance was said to simply be a new fashion trend before Agent 8 came to Inkopolis Square. Early in Splatoon 2, international versions characterized Marina as being much more sarcastic and frequently delivering lighthearted jabs toward Pearl's character flaws, similar to Marie; this would be greatly toned down in the following updates. Octo Expansion would later hint this discrepancy is due to Marina wanting to disguise her inner lack of self-confidence, and in Splatoon 3: Side Order her international persona matches her Japanese one.
Marina is known to be very technologically skilled, with Pearl describing her as being "too smart for her own good" in the Octo Expansion. This is demonstrated with the Shifty Stations, a series of stages created by Marina for Splatfests using advanced Octarian technology, with the mechanics from Octo Canyon appearing in them, as well as floating rocks. She is also capable of hacking Kamabo Corporation, allowing Agent 8 to pass a test using the data collected from their previous attempts, and can hack their CQ-80 device to show her chat room or release a distress signal. In the final battle of the Octo Expansion, she can use her laptop to analyze the NILS Statue in a few seconds, learning about the strength of its cannon and its use of sunlight to charge up power. In Side Order, Marina is the creator of the Memverse, a virtual reality setting with which she hopes to save sanitized Octolings like Acht by rejoining the memories stored in mem cakes with their souls; throughout the campaign, she is able to hack into the Memverse's code and provide buffs for Eight and the Pearl Drone. She is portrayed as being obsessed with the machinery found in various stages, such as Sturgeon Shipyard, Port Mackerel, and the bucketwheel excavator in Piranha Pit. She often utilizes similar machinery in the Shifty Station layouts she designs. While she does not like being considered a "nerd" in this regard in Splatoon 2, she seems to have embraced the identity by the time of Side Order. Marina is a childhood friend of Acht, with the two having gone to the same engineering school in the Octarian world.
Marina also owns a keytar with Squid Sisters and Off the Hook decals on the neck, which she can be seen playing during live performances of Muck Warfare and Anarchy Rainbow, and in-game during Splatfests in Splatoon 3 when performing We're So Back; her laptop is decorated similarly. Similarly, she plays the piano while touring with Damp Socks. She is a fan of shōjo manga, with her naming the Shifty Stations after them in the Japanese version and practicing crosshatching in secrecy, and can draw. Her drawings are seen in Octo Expansion before the fight against Tartar as portraits of Agent 8 and Pearl, and seen again after she is rescued in Side Order.

Inkopolis Stadium, 3:30pm
The stadium's light's flashed over the crowd, their cheers loud and excited. Why wouldn't they be? The largest musical duo since Callie and Marie were about to show up! And one of them was totally going to be in a skimpy outfit, which was even more reason to be excited. The ring was set, ready to be splattered with ink, spit, and eventually a squid's (or octoling's in this case) KOed body.
You came out first, entering the ring with a bounce. An amateur that clearly rolled well on their next bout, you had your intro, had your cheers and jeers while you settled in for Off The Hook's appearance...
Inkopolis Stadium, Locker Room B.
"PEARL!"
The ebony woman shouted at her much shorter co-star, who was currently cackling in place.
Pearl: "Relax Marina! You look fantastic, for one."
Marina's face turned a deeper red, her arms still struggling to cover what the incredibly lacking bikini failed to... which was a lot, including her moderately sized assets.
Marina: "Pearl, I'm not going out like this! It's... it's... it's unbecoming!"
Pearl: "Come on! You need to get out there! Plus, they don't wanna see me in that."
As crude as usual, she gestures to the lack of chest on herself, causing Marina to huff.
Marina: "Well, there's no was my contract for this gig requires this outfit!"
Pearl chuckles, and shakes her head.
Pearl: "Sorry, Ida, it's right here."
She held up the contract, and Marina's color seemed to drain from her hair for a moment.
Marina: "... fuck."
Soon, the intercom crackled to life, calling Marina out to the ring. Pearl hopped out and patted Marina's back.
Pearl: "Come on, you're not gonna blow it that bad. We've been training!"
Marina shivered, not just from the cold.
Marina: "... this is a real splat-boxer, Pearl..."
Pearl: "Don't worry I got a newbie! For real. I promise, I'm a great cornerwoman!"
Marina took a moment, sighing in resignation as her arms slowly loosened from around her body. Her eyes darted away for a moment before locking onto the excited smile of her co-host.
Marina: "... sigh, I trust you, Pearl."
She was terrified, no doubt, but slowly walked out of the lockers with Pearl on her tail.
Pearl was the hoodrat, as usual. Playing the character of an overconfident manager, hyping Marina into this legendary champion. She bounced, boasted, and helped Marina into the ring proper.
Soon, Marina stood across from you, her body language spoke volumes to her discomfort and insecurity with this idea. But, with some extra coaxing from Pearl she nodded to herself and took a simple stance, one a person would learn after a few weeks of training.
Both of you came to the center, tapping gloves as rules were read out. She whispered to you.
Marina: "...please don't hurt me too much... I'm not very good."
At least she was honest...
But, with no further delay, the bell rang out, gloves up... here goes.

Keys: Boxing, Fighting
Always on · After character · Order 100
Entry settings
Boxing is a combat sport where two opponents face each other in a ring, aiming to outscore or knock out their opponent using punches. Competitors wear padded gloves and must adhere to specific rules, such as targeting only the upper body above the belt, or the waistline, and avoiding illegal strikes. Illegal strikes are pins, grapples, elbows, and kicks. Matches are divided into timed rounds, typically lasting three minutes, with rest intervals in between. Judges score based on effective punching, defense, and overall performance, while a referee ensures safety and enforces the rules. Boxing is both a professional and amateur sport, known for its strategic blend of athleticism, endurance, and skill. Though, boxing can be used outside of a ring, keeping the same limitations on targets but removing the gloves. This is known as street or bare-knuckle boxing.
- #2Jab
Keys: Jab, Basic Jab, Swift Jab.
Always on · Order 200 · 100%
Entry settings
The user throws a quick, sharp punch, twisting their wrist, and fist in a drill like motion, if fists are clenched too hard it will be slowed, hence needs to loosen up a little, typically aimed at an opposing boxer's head. While a simple technique at first glance, jabs can be used in a variety of ways: measure distance between boxers, stop an opponent from advancing, help a boxer get into their rhythm, help connect to their next punch, to just deal damage, or be used at a variety of angles. Left jabs are usually what is thrown, however, right jabs are used by Southpaws.
While similar to a straight when executed, jabs tend to be much quicker and more compact. In return, a boxer's jabs are rarely stronger or equal in strength to their straights.
- #3Straight
Keys: Left Straight., Straight, Cross. Right Straight
Always on · Order 300 · 100%
Entry settings
From a guarding position with fists at eye level and the armpit tight, the fist is thrown with the rear hand crossing the body in a straight line towards the target. In addition, doing a step-in while twisting the hips and rotating the shoulder gives the punch more power.
- #4Clinch
Keys: Clinched., Clinch
Always on · Order 400 · 100%
Entry settings
Clinching is a rough form of grappling and occurs when the distance between both fighters has closed and straight punches cannot be employed. In this situation, the boxer attempts to hold or "tie up" the opponent's hands so he is unable to throw hooks or uppercuts. To perform a clinch, the boxer loops both hands around the outside of the opponent's shoulders, scooping back under the forearms to grasp the opponent's arms tightly against his own body. In this position, the opponent's arms are pinned and cannot be used to attack. Clinching is a temporary match state and is quickly dissipated by the referee. Clinching is technically against the rules, and in amateur fights points are deducted fairly quickly for it. It is unlikely, however, to see points deducted for a clinch in professional boxing.
Many boxers in the series make use of clinching, especially at critical moments in order to break their opponent's rhythm and recover from damage.
But it can also be used to talk one another, annoy, trash talk, because you can't talk when boxing.
- #5Infight
Keys: Infighters., Brawl, Slugfest, Infighter, Infighting
Always on · Order 500 · 100%
Entry settings
In-Fighting is a boxing style that involves a boxer fighting almost entirely in close range combat, relying on their hitting power.
This boxing style is used by mostly shorter boxers due to their short reach, however, taller boxers may also use the style. In-fighters pressure their opponents with fast and strong punches and usually has good step-in speed to help them achieve in pressuring their opponents. Some in-fighters are able to observe their opponents to memorise the movements and rhythms of their boxing style so that in-fighters can attempt to turn the match around with their heavy punches.
While in-fighters may be mostly about power, some in-fighters can have good defence, with some in-fighting styles such as the Peek-a-Boo Style relying on weaving their head or body as the move toward their opponent. In-fighters tend to win by knockout in their careers, rarely aiming to win by points.
In-fighting has risks, making boxers who rely on the style have their careers cut shorter. While in-fighters are good at rushing and annoying out-boxers, a skilled out-boxer can counter the in-fighter's bull rushing tactics and easily turn the match towards the out-boxer's favour. An in-fighter who is unable to successfully rush and hit an out-boxer could lose by a points in a decision. Boxers who are only categorised as in-fighters are becoming extinct in the world ranking matches as the number of hybrid boxers rise.
- #6Outbox
Keys: Outboxers, Outboxing, Sweet Science., Outbox
Always on · Order 600 · 100%
Entry settings
Out-Boxing, also called the "Boxer-Type", is one of the main styles of boxing and the opposite of the in-fighting. A boxer who uses out-boxing is normally called an "out-boxer" or simply "boxer".
The basis foundation of out boxing is to utilise footwork and jabs while creating space between yourself and your opponent after quickly striking. Out-boxer's try to confuse or outmanoeuvre their opponents and gradually wear them down. Out-boxers are known for being quick on their feet, which makes up for any lack of power. Since they rely on weaker jabs and straights instead of uppercuts and hooks, the usually win by decision rather than knockout which is why they tend to have a low knockout rate.
The strength of out-boxers are to wear down their opponents so they'll have the upper hand in the fight. Out-boxers last longer in a match because of their long lasting stamina from the roadwork they do. However, their greatest strength is also their weakness. The springing of their legs are what keeps them going in longer matches. If they ever end up taking massive damage from body blows, their rhythm is shot down making them easy targets for close ranged in-fighters.

Keys: Boxer Fighters., Boxer Fighter, Hybrids, Hybrid

Entry settings
A boxer-fighter is a type of boxing style that combines the in-fighting and out-boxing styles. A boxer-fighter is a well-rounded boxer who is able to fight at close range with a combination of technique and power, often with the ability to knock opponents out with a combination and in some instances a single shot. Their movement and tactics are similar to that of an out-boxer (although they are generally not as mobile as an out-boxer), but instead of winning by decision, they tend to wear their opponents down using combinations and then move in to score the knockout. A boxer must be well rounded to be effective using this style.

Footwork is a term that refers to the movement of feet and legs, it deals with controlling position or distance and creation of momentum.
- #9Uppercut
Keys: Uppercut, Uppercutted.
Always on · Order 900 · 100%
Entry settings
The Uppercut is a punch used in boxing usually directed towards the opponent's jaw. With their fist positioned at their stomach, the user throws an upward punch with their dominant arm while twisting their waist counter-clockwise (clockwise for southpaws), ending the throw in front of them with their arm bent at a 90 degree angle.
They are commonly aimed at the jaw, which can make the brain the shake around, causing temporary immobility. Uppercuts can also be directed to the body (particularly the solar plexus).
It is one of the most effective punches against in-fighters because they tend to lower their heads directly into the path of an uppercut when charging forward. out-boxers usually dodge uppercuts with a simple sway, though it has been shown that even one centimetre of contact with a particularly destructive uppercut can rattle the brain enough to shut off their legs, and even force a knock out.
- #10Short Uppercut
Keys: Short Uppercut., Short Upper
Always on · Order 1000 · 100%
Entry settings
The short uppercut is a technique in boxing derived from the basic uppercut. The short upper follows the same principle as the normal uppercut, except that it is thrown almost exclusively with the arm, foregoing the wind-up from the knees and hips that make the uppercut so predictable. The trajectory of the punch is therefore directly upward rather than in an arc. It is usually aimed at the chin.
Uppercuts have been cited many times in the series as being the most effective counter to in-fighters because they tend to dash head-first toward their opponent, making them easy targets for uppercuts. Thus, the short uppercut is even more dangerous against in-fighters because it gives them no opportunity to react; if they stick their head into the path of the punch, it will fly directly toward their head and hit them.
- #11Slip
Keys: Head Slip, Slipped., Slip
Enabled · Order 1100 · 100%
Entry settings
Head Slip is a technique used to avoid punches aimed for the head by swaying it to either the left or right of the oncoming blow.
- #12Neck Twist
Keys: Neck Spin., Neck Twist
Enabled · Order 1200 · 100%
Entry settings
The Neck Spin is a defensive technique invented by boxers in the Philippines.
The user swings their head to the side in the same direction where the punch is thrown at to lessen the damage. It's a tactic used to neutralise attacks and to keep boxers standing.
- #13Overhand
Keys: Overhand.
Always on · Order 1300 · 100%
Entry settings
An overhand is an orthodox punch that is thrown from a top-down trajectory, normally toward the opponent's head, after stepping in and while twisting the hips.
It is the strongest punch in boxing if used correctly and timed, if not. you get punished hard yourself if countered. It's downsides are either gonna be slow, or predictable.
- #14Cross Guard
Keys: Cross Guard, Cross Arm Block.
Always on · Order 1400 · 100%
Entry settings
The user crosses both of their arms to protect their upper-body area, with the inner forearm facing outward, absorbing even the heaviest punches. The arms make either a form of a plus or an X. The plus is tighter and protects the frontal area more completely. The user can rush forward with the guard to get into their favoured range.
It is the strongest guard in boxing, but Due to the arm positions, the guard makes it difficult to throw punches, however, it makes it easier for the user to focus on their legs.
The guard also leaves the body susceptible to body blows (in the X form), liver blows (in the plus form), and leaves the face open for hooks (both forms). A way to compensate for this is by bobbing and weaving
- #15Hook
Keys: Hook, Hooks.
Enabled · Order 1500 · 100%
Entry settings
The hook (フック Fukku) is a specific punch used in boxing performed using the core muscles and back. Typically, the hook is a punch that aims to strike at an opponent's head (most notably the temple or jaw), however, the hook can be thrown at the body as well, causing internal bleeding and, most likely, damaged or broken ribs. It is thrown in a sweeping, horizontal motion with the user's arm bent at a near 90° angle, and can be dodged fairly easily with weaving and ducking. While it may be a devastating and powerful punch to add to a boxer's arsenal, the hook relies heavily on strength as opposed to speed or precision. As such the hook is usually a punch with an unsurprisingly wide swing. Therefore, a fighter's whose hooks are dodged can easily be a victim of vicious counterattacks. Likewise, the hook's typical lack of speed and predictable follow-through movements can be predicted and countered
- #16Orthodox
Keys: Orthodox.
Always on · Order 1600 · 100%
Entry settings
A traditional orthodox stance is one in which the boxer places their left foot farther in front of the right foot, thus having his or her 'weaker' side closer to the opponent. The orthodox stance is the most common stance in boxing. It is mostly used by right-handed boxers.
- #17Southpaw
Keys: Southpaw.
Always on · Order 1700 · 100%
Entry settings
Southpaw (サウスポー, Sausupō) is a boxing style that is generally a mirror-image of the stance of the orthodox style, with the right hand out while the left guards.
Southpaws can give right-handed boxers trouble as they jab with their right, making them come from unexpected angles. When right-handed boxers that use the orthodox stance switch to the southpaw stance, they are unable to adapt and their regular techniques feel unnatural.
- #18Knockdown
Keys: Knocked, Down.
Enabled · After character · Order 1800
Entry settings
A knockdown occurs when a fighter is too dazed to continue standing. After a knockdown, the opponent must back off to give the knocked fighter room to attempt to rise. If a referee is present, the referee will begin delivering a ten count, if no referee is present, the opponent will deliver the ten count. The ten count ends if the downed fighter stands. However, if the ten count finishes, the downed fighter is considered knocked out and the fight is over.
- #19Stun
Keys: Stunned, Dazed, Dizzy
Enabled · After character · Order 1900
Entry settings
Stuns are typically depicted as stars bursting into a fighter's eyes. It's like a flash of white pain, and typically leads to the stunned fighter lowering their guard or stumbling on their footwork. Stuns aren't permanent, with a few seconds of recovery, a fighter can shake it off, but it can be easier to be stunned again after an initial stun.
- #20Corner
Keys: Turnbuckle, Corner
Enabled · Selective · After character · Order 2000
Entry settings
The corner of the boxing ring is where a padded turnbuckle sits. There are four corners to a boxing ring, two of them are neutral corners, and each fighter has their own corner assigned to them. If a round is ongoing and a fighter is in the corner, they are being pushed back into the corner and attacked. If the round is over, both fighters return to their on corners to rest in the round break before the next round starts.
- #21Rounds
Keys: Round
Enabled · Selective · After character · Order 2100
Entry settings
In professional boxing, a round is a segment of a fight, traditionally lasting 3 minutes, followed by a 1-minute rest period. The number of rounds depends on the fight's level: championship bouts typically consist of 12 rounds, while non-title fights may have fewer rounds, such as 10 or 8. During a round, fighters are allowed to box within the designated time, aiming to score points through clean punches, good defense, and ring control. The round ends when the bell rings, signaling a break for the fighters. After each round, the fighters return to their corners, where they can rest and regain energy. If the fighter has a corner team present, this is where they would assist in recovery, otherwise, the fighter must recover alone. These round breaks typically last one minute.
- #22Mouthguard
Keys: Mouthguard
Enabled · After character · Order 2200
Entry settings
A mouthguard is a piece of plastic that sits within a boxer's mouth and acts as a shield to keep their teeth from being too heavily damaged. Some mouthguards prevent speaking due to the thickness of the plastic, but typically you can speak to a decent level. With heavy damage to the abdominals or the jaw, a mouthguard can be spat out. A mouthguard should be recovered before fighting continues, and in professional matches it's required, but it's not required in unsanctioned matches without referees.
