The video is a humorous and detailed exploration of the game Splatoon, a popular Nintendo game. The host, known as "Theorists," begins by addressing some technical difficulties and then introduces the game. He explains that in the game, cephalopods have taken over the Earth's surface, and the main characters are the Inklings, a species capable of morphing between a human or kid form and a tentacle, Blooper-like squid form.
The host then delves into a discussion about the Inklings' biological nature, questioning whether they are more of a kid or a squid. He uses game mechanics and a bit of science to argue that the Inklings are more squid-like. He points out that Inklings can melt into the ground for fast travel and recharging ink, suggesting they have a flexible structure similar to squids. He also mentions that although Inklings walk upright on land, they have human features like noses and mouths, which are essential for breathing with lungs. This leads him to conclude that Inklings must have lungs to absorb oxygen on land, a point in favor of the Kid column.
The host then discusses the Inklings' eyes, suggesting that their ability to see as well as they do in the game indicates that they have developed a unique eye structure, a point in favor of the Squid column. He also brings up the Inklings' high level of cognitive functions, suggesting that they have evolved to become a dominant species on Earth.
Finally, the host argues that the answer to the Kid vs. Squid debate lies in the Inklings' genetics. He explains that cephalopods, including squids, have the ability to rapidly adapt to extreme changes in their environment, a trait that allows them to evolve quickly. This is due to their unique genetic process, RNA Editing, which allows them to directly edit the information that the RNA carries, skipping the need for natural selection. This rapid evolution puts them in a perfect position to continue their rapid evolution and become the new rulers of the planet.
In conclusion, the host argues that the Inklings are one hundred percent squid, but he also reminds the audience that this is just a theory, a Game Theory.
