Before it all comes to an end... Let's not forget where we started...

Now look at where we are...

3 games, 30 millions units sold in total, gave the Wii U a killer app when it needed it, made appearances in Smash Bros and was the one to announce Ultimate, became a part of Nintendo's Mount Rushmore alongside Mario, Zelda and Animal Crossing, created highly iconic characters that will be burned into the history books, created one of the most diverse and accepting communities in gaming history, created a relatable ever evolving story of growth, humanity and creativity itself.

This franchise probably saved thousands of people I'm not joking around. Including me...

If this is truly the finale, the final major appearances of these iconic characters we all hold near and dear in our hearts... If it's time for us to wave goodbye and have a fresh start into the light... to hear that daybreaker anthem...

We must celebrate, give into the chaos, cherish the past, walk hand in hand in the present and look ahead towards the future.

IT'S NOW OR NEVER!!!

Here we stand in time—endless past, present, and future span / Our wishes are the flame that lights up history

This is what I worked on between matches and concerts during the Grand Festival. I'm going to miss these seven so, so much, I love Splatoon...

I haven't been able to stop thinking about Rainbow Color Inkantation because oh my god this song is so damn hype and cool.

Like... okay, it's not the best Calamari Inkantation we've gotten but it's still incredibly good, at least in my opinion I think its good. 3Mix still beats it in my mind but this song is a STRONG second place.

This song perfectly captures Splatoon 3 to me, it's chaotic, loud, in your face, it celebrates the past, acknowledges the present and has a futuristic edge.

It's so damn blood pumping and adrenaline inducing as each Idol battles for attention and control. It's what you want in a song that's used for the final day of the Grand Festival. It's literally NOW OR NEVER! GO! GO! GO! THIS IS IT!!!

The Idol specific parts when you get the Ultra Signals are my favourite sections of the song, it's SOOOO GOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!! UGHHHH!!!!!! The Squid Sister's section is so sweet, happy and cute as they play the song that they were announced with 9 years ago. Further cementing that their arcs from Splatoon 1 have been finally completed. They sing together in this incredibly harmonized way... It's... it's beautiful...

Off the Hook's section feels so hopeful and inspirational, it feels like Pearl and Marina are just singing to each other and expressing their love for each other... I can imagine Marina hugging Pearl and spinning her around as they sing Ebb & Flow...

Deep Cut's part is pure fucking hype! I LOVE ITTTTT!!!!!!!! I love how they sing something completely original it's so sick man. THEIR CHEERS AND "HA! HA! HA!" So good oh my friggen god bro. Just like the team they represented, their section gives me hope that these three cheeky bandits will continue on and keep making bangers.

I wish i was an expert in music to better explain why i really like this song but alas, i ain't no Anthony Fantano....

I also wanna end off by talking about the final 10 seconds...

Oh. My God. Out of all of the Now or Nevers we've had, those final 10 seconds is my favorite ending to a Now or Never like song... EVER! It just pumps you with so much adrenaline, it's like the song stabbed you with 2 EpiPens in your ear drums. It's so anxiety inducing that you could make a crowd at a rave faint right there and then.

Seriously, go listen to the full 7 minute version of the song if you haven't already, it's pure magic i tell you.

Also, i headcanon that these three helped with the production of the song.

Some of parts of the song reminded me a lot of DJ Octavio's signature style and i think it would be cute if him, Captain 3 and Acht helped with the production of the song.
