TheBooyah Bomb is aspecial weapon inSplatoon 2 andSplatoon 3. It coats the user in strong armor, allowing them and their teammates to charge a ball of ink that the user can throw to attack a large area.

Appearance

When activated, the Booyah Bomb coats the user in a skin of theirink and raises them into the air. The user is given a small, swirling circle of ink with a glowing dot in the center that increases in size with every "Booyah!" signal that the user's team sends out. When it is fully charged, the user can throw the Booyah Bomb (leaving a splotch of ink under their feet), which creates a small ink sphere on its landing point. The sphere then rapidly grows and dissipates, laying down ink in a ring-filled pattern. InSplatoon 3, there is a small visual effect of ink and colored lightning where the Booyah Bomb lands before exploding.

Splatoon 2

When activated, the user temporarily rises upward and levitates above the ground, holding up a glowing ball ofink that charges up over time. Once charged, this can be thrown to make an ink explosion which is made larger as it charges up. The user and their teammates can use the "Booyah!"signal to charge up the attack faster. Teammates using this signal also slightly fill up their ownspecial gauge. The charge takes approximately 8.5 seconds to reach its maximum power without signaling. With only the user signaling, it can be reduced to about three seconds, and less if multiple players are contributing. EquippingSpecial Power Up also reduces the charge time of the Booyah Bomb.

Once the user rises to the necessary height to perform the special, the user is protected by a limited-durability shield similar toInk Armor which negates damage until it either breaks or when the special ends.

Trivia

• The design and function of this weapon appear to be inspired by the Spirit Bomb from the manga and anime seriesDragon Ball, created byAkira Toriyama. This is especially reflected in its ability to become stronger the more people cheer on the user. Its American and Japanese names also mirror the change from 'ball' to 'bomb' for the technique.
• The way that the Booyah Bomb deals damage, as well as the large circle ofink that the Booyah Bomb creates when it hits inkable turf, are both very similar to theInkstrike.
• The Booyah Bomb was not the first special weapon to be added post-release; that title belongs to theBubble Blower. However, unlike the Bubble Blower, the Booyah Bomb was not confirmed in the initial release by an in-game description.
• Before version4.3.0 ofSplatoon 2, there were glitches involving the Booyah Bomb andQuick Super Jump, allowing the player to glitch out of bounds if they jump from one side of the map to the other.^[3]
• The Booyah Bomb was shown in the version4.0.0 trailer, but neither theKensa Splattershot Pro nor theKensa Dynamo Roller was made available until version4.1.0.
• When the player is charging up the Booyah Bomb inSalmon Run Next Wave, they can be pushed around by a movingFish Stick.^[4][5]
• When the shield is taking damage, the shield sound effect from the first game can be heard, and when it is destroyed, the armor breaking sound effect can be heard.
