The manga follows the Blue Team, a group of Inklings that compete in Turf Wars, the primary online battle mode in the Splatoon franchise. Goggles, a member of the Blue Team, serves as the manga's protagonist. The issue shows Headphones using an Inkzooka which is not part of the Classic Squiffer's set, so she was probably using a New Squiffer during the match like how Specs used an Octobrush Nouveau during the battle with Aloha. Likewise, Specs is seen using an Inkstrike with an Inkbrush instead of an Octobrush.
