Trivia

  • Squid Pro Quo is the only spirit board event to feature a spirit (in this case, the Squid Sisters) that is available via summoning.
  • Inkt goed, al goed, the Dutch name for this event, is a pun on the phrase "eind goed, al goed" ("all's well that ends well"). This could be a reference to the fact that this Spirit Event commemorates the final Splatfest of Splatoon 2.
