Damn, I was going to start the series but thank you for your explanations. I used to be an orca nerd back then and I’d get slightly irritated if it’s not accurate lmao. I’ll keep this marinated for now xD

Orcas don't have a sense of smell. They can't process it because they lack the olfactory nerves and parts of the brain to smell. Since they can hear very well, use high-frequency echolocation (the nasal passages they do possess specifically enhance that ability, that's it), and have super sharp eyesight, they don't need to be able to smell to hunt and navigate underwater. So the ML being all about "I can smell him on you" is kinda bullshit. The story is trying to portray it as if he could smell it super well because he's an animal, but, wellp, orcas can't smell.
