Wow great ressources! I've been casually learning japanese for a few years now (reasons unrelated to splatoon), and I'm able to understand 70-90% of what they say in splatoon videos (depending on the creator). I've found it helpful to use youtube's CC to get a rough idea of what they're saying, and then google specific terminologies (スプラ + “the term”) to learn more — since splatoon is so popular in Japan, you get a lot of results. Inkpedia is also good for looking up equivalent terms in different languages.
In terms of learning the language itself i think Duolingo isn't as helpful as just listening to how ppl talk and read what they write (simple stuff like anime with bilingual subtitles, or get on jp twitter and try to decipher what they're saying lol). It's hard at first but I've learned a big chunk of what I know by doing this. One splatuber I would recommend for this is またりんちゃんねる. They tend to speak in simple terms in their guides and often has subtitles.
Also I've been wanting to translate some japanese ressources (guide videos) to english because they've helped so much in my improvement and I want to share them with more ppl. If anyone has the same idea or need help for a similar project hmu : )
