I watched My Octopus Teacher with my partner last night and we both cried. It sounds like an anime title, but it’s an INCREDIBLE documentary.

Before using wrong a plural in a language you don’t know, just use an anglized plural, octopuses (or octopusses).
Afaik, octopodi would be correct as 'pus is actually derived from ancient greek “pous” meaning foot (latin would be “pes”). And even in Latin, not everything ending on -us has -i as plural.
