Agent24

Agent24 is the Femslash ship between Agent 3 and Agent 8 from the Splatoon fandom.

Canon
Before the start of the Octo Expansion Pack, Agent 3 and Cap'n Cuttlefish continued to explore Octo Valley when they ended up in battle against a young Octoling. Agent 8 was an Octoling in Octorian society and changed her mind when they heard the Squid Spell during the final battle of Splatoon, etching it into their souls. According to Marina, the Octolings who listen to the song become unhappy with octarian society and choose to start their own business. In Octo Valley, Agent 8 met Cap'n Cuttlefish and Agent 3, where Cuttlefish had Agent 8 attack Agent 3. The two fought until all three were attacked by someone and were slammed into the Deepsea subway. Agent 8 lost his memory from injuries sustained during the fall from the ceiling and became a test subject of the subway. Cuttlefish and the Octoling nicknamed Agent 8 teamed up to collect the four thanks and escape from deepsea's subway.

Once Agent 8 collected three of the thanks, Cap'n Cuttlefish made a "disappeared" poster for Agent 3, which allows the player to determine the gender, skin color, and eyes of Agent 3.

After Agent 8 collected all four thanks, the phone put them in a blender and tricked Agent 8 and Cuttlefish inside. However, Marina used Agent 8's CQ-80 device to release a distress signal to which Agent 3 responded by jumping through the roof and destroying the blender. As a result, they were rendered unconscious, with Cuttlefish falling behind to take care of them while Agent 8 escaped through the hole created by Agent 3. While Agent 8 was away, the Phone attacked Agent 3, partially disinfecting her. Under the control of the phone, they tied up Cuttlefish and later attacked Agent 8 before they could escape to the surface. After being defeated, sanitization disappeared, leaving them once again unconscious. They eventually woke up after Agent 8 and Off the Hook defeated the NILS statue, used by Telephone, as Commander Tartar, to destroy Inkopolis, now with a plaster on the back of its neck as the credits rolled. When Agent 8 returned to the Deepsea subway, Cuttlefish explained that Agent 3 is back on patrol. After Agent 8 completed all the tests, a locker entered A00 The central station opened and they had a flashback of the first time they heard the Squid spell, causing a final battle against their "Internal Agent 3" to be able to get a golden toothpick.

Fanon
Agent24 is one of the most popular ships in the fandom of Splatoon accompanying Pearlrina very often and in the meantime remaining in rivalry with it popularly speaking. A possible explanation for its popularity is the need for ships, let alone femslash/yuri ships in Splatoon outside manga in general.

The ship began to become popular in the Splatoon 2 DLC "Octo Expansion Pack", especially in the final mission "Internal Agent 3" explaining that Agent 3 and Agent 8 already knew each other at that time, and that they were already rivals. The ship has been made canonical through an official art, regardless of the player's choices regarding the gender of Agent 8 and Agent 3. On AO3 it is the most written ship for both, and has more than 400 works in the Agent 3/Agent 8 tag.
