Kaisei Drills Splatoon Positioning for the Niji Ika Festival

NIJISANJI — Kaisei of Nijisanji spent about two and a half hours on Sunday evening drilling Splatoon for the #にじイカ祭り2026 event. His stated goal for the night was simple: keep watching the squid lamps, the display at the top of the screen that shows up during a fight.

He said he had rewatched the previous day’s play and found that seeing a stronger player’s view was a useful reference. In the late stages of those matches, he noted, he had often stayed in the middle of the map poking at opponents. His plan was to pull back and paint when his side was outnumbered, push forward with teammates when it was ahead, and keep painting as he advanced. He also wanted to work on bombs, rolling them past enemies and throwing them where he expected an opponent to dodge.

“Right now it’s okay to lose as many times as we want.” — Kaisei, on the practice period before the main event

Other players joined the voice call early on and passed along tips on gear, on jump-shooting in head-on fights and on rolling bombs at opponents’ feet at the start of a round. One Super Chat arrived in the first ten minutes.

Chat filled with cheers as the matches added up. After a win around the 52-minute mark, messages of “nice” came in by the dozen. Later, teammates praised the way the team had played and the timing of its ultimates, and chat noted he was improving. When a team win came with specials saved for the end, one participant remarked that winning counted for more than the kill count. A break for melon bread turned into a running joke after a word was misheard on the call.

More players rotated in as the evening went on, including one who arrived late to fill a spot. Kaisei closed by telling viewers to stay for the team practice that followed.
