[[folder: Shared Tropes]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: They are the main focus of the 6th Anniversary story event, "Seeds of Redemption", with Seox as the central character. They also received the spotlight once again 2 years later in the story event "A Sweltering Eternal Getaway".

* PowerAtAPrice: The major theme of the Eternals. They're all absurdly powerful people, but nearly all of them suffer from severely damaged mindsets due to this obsession with power for its own sake. This is not at all helped by the Revenant Weapons, which their Level 100 quests reveal to be [[spoiler:a hivemind of super weapons that eternally try to push their wielders onto further heights with no regard for the wielder's mental health]].

* PowerCreep: Despite all their hype, they are probably the biggest victims of this in ''Granblue Fantasy''. As the years go by more and more characters and released into the gacha and/or receive uncaps that are just as good if not better than the Eternals. Their 6th uncap was confirmed to keep their gameplay consistent with the story proclaiming them to be some of the strongest characters in ''Granbllue''.

* StoryBreakerPower: While they are known throughout the skydom as the strongest in their fields, their abilities get toned down in some events where they appear.

** "Together in Song" has a non-combatant threat in that the discontent created by villagers has run rampant, which even Niyon can't resolve.

* WeaponWieldsYou: Downplayed. Instead of outright controlling their wielder's body, the Revenant weapons try to urge the Eternals into gaining more power, disregarding any negative consequences on the mental health of their wielders.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: Played with. Most of them fight the protagonist to see if it is safe to have them wield the revenant weapon, but others, like Threo, fight the protagonist partly because they didn't want the title of the strongest user of their respective weapons taken away or simply to see if they are really strong and worthy enough to wield the weapon.

[[folder: Anre]]

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Done in the ScriptedBattle of "Seeds of Redemption" in Chapter 6, where he deploys a barrier to protect the twin Eternals from the enemies' simultaneous Charge Attacks.]]

* ShipTease: Has some with Seofon in his 5★ Fate Episodes, since she is the one that is shown more worried about him. And she also has '''a lot''' with Silva, especially in the fate episodes of Silva's Light version, where Tweyen has a monologue of [[BeautifulDreamer being happy with watching Silva sleeping]] (after passing out from drunkenness). Silva's Fate Episode also has a lot of fuel for their relationship, with Silva missing Tweyen dearly. And in ''Seeds of Redemption'' has Tweyen mention that she is going to eat dinner together with Silva's family as if it was something pretty common between them.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her Japanese name ソーン, has been interpreted as "Song", "Sorn", "Sone", or "Thorn". In ''Granblue Fantasy Graphic Archive III'', it's Song but her valentine's card has her signature as Sorn. (What makes this worse is that her name is derived from ''Thai'' - it's the Thai word for 2, which is written as สอง in Thai script. So officially (going by the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Thai_General_System_of_Transcription RTGS]]), it'd be "Song", though it's not pronounced exactly like the English word.)

[[folder: Threo]]

* TheBerserker: Her fighting style, described as [[UnskilledButStrong unskilled yet powerful]]. It basically amounts to hitting really hard. The other Eternals describe her style as a combination of strength and brute force, and Seox even mentions that no sane warrior should fight her head-on. In-game, her kit revolves on having plenty of attack buffs on herself, counter-attacks, a nuke that costs her HP and also decreases her enemies' defense once she reaches level 95.
** Even her Axe Form's second skill is named "Berserker Forge".

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Done in the ScriptedBattle of "Seeds of Redemption" in Chapter 6, where she unleashes her Charge Attack on the first wave, but stealing Seofon's spotlight.]]

* TheSocialDarwinist: A rare good example. Her [[WildChild wild upbringing]] led her to base her entire worldview on the law of the jungle, where the strong eat the weak. Which is why she wants to be the strongest in the world, so that she won't have to feel fear or grief ever again like she did as a kid. Her natural human compassion does stop her from the more negative aspects of this trope, though they still surface at times (notably when she nearly left a child get killed by a monster, believing the kid should be strong enough to take it on if he wants to live).

* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: When Threo returns to her forest home after meeting the crew, she becomes surprised and confused as the landmarks she once knew were no longer there, and that there were more human settlers when there were supposed to be none but animals.

[[folder: Feower]]

[[folder: Fif]]

[[folder: Seox]]

* DeclarationOfProtection: The culmination of his 5* Fate Episodes leads him to this:

** This trope is still strong even in the fate episodes of his 6☆ uncap, [[spoiler:where he says he was born to meet the captain, and how they will be together until the end.]]

[[folder: Seofon]]

[[folder: Eahta]]

* {{Samurai}}: On top of Katanas, he has Kabuki inspired face paint, a serious face (somewhat common in Kabuki), and long hair (not many had long hair in real life, but anime and other media have its fair share of long haired samurai).

** In Orologia's simulations, without Seofon and Anre meeting and deciding to form the Eternals, many of them end up leading much darker paths, such as Eahta becoming a wandering warrior who murders anyone in his path indiscriminately searching for a good fight, Anre assassinating anyone who he perceives to be a threat to the balance of the Skydom regardless of good or bad intentions, and Siete seeking to destroy and recreate the world because it is far too broken to be saved.

* ShipTease: His Fate Episodes and other lines, such as the ones for the player's birthday, have shades of this with Gran/Djeeta. Some of the reasons for that are [[spoiler:the GenerationXerox between them because of their fathers, making Seox an important Eternal character to have in the party plot-wise, and because the only reason why he was not possessed by the Six-Ruin Fist in his 5★ Fate Episodes was because he wanted to protect the captain.]] ''Seeds of Redemption'' also has some of it in the first part, with [[spoiler:Seox wanting to turn himself in to the Crew of Enforcers for his crimes and, in order to make him talk about his feelings properly, the captain forces eye contact by holding both sides of his face with their hands. Once Fif asks if there's nothing else he wants to do with his life, that would stop him from turning himself in, Seox says he would love to still be able to keep travelling with Gran/Djeeta. The narration says the captain has a brilliant smile on their face after it and Seox reaches for their hand. Tweyen even comments how he looks positively different after this scene.]]The second part of the event and the Fate Episodes of his Event SSR only adds fuel to this, with Seox saying [[spoiler:he wants to be able to look at the Captain without shying away, and sharing his real name with only the captain.]]

** The english version of his introduction cutscenes in the RPG mode of ''Granblue Fantasy: Versus'' makes Seox straight up say that the Captain is his most important person in the Sky Realm.

* [[JustForPun Seox]][[SixthRanger th Ranger]]: Lore-wise, the members of the Eternals are this to the Grandcypher crew. However, Seox takes the cake as his descriptions in ''No Rain, No Rainbow'' if the player don't have him as a recruited member very much implied he's a near full-time crew member of the Grandcypher [[spoiler:due to having more or less [[ConnectedAllAlong the same end goal as the Captain]]]]. [[note]]In comparison, Niyon gently refused the Captain's offer to hitch a ride on the Grandcypher in ''Together in Song'' if the player don't have her and departed on her own.[[/note]] The sixth anniversary event and his free version's Fate Episode pretty much doubles down on this by showing him [[spoiler:as Seox "the individual" without the attire of the Eternals. He tells the Captain his true name because they above all others will be with him to the end, not the Eternals. Most of his dialogue in this event is written as if he was already recruited regardless of whether the player has Seox or not.]]

* SoMuchForStealth: In the prologue of "Seeds of Redemption", Niyon is able to detect [[spoiler:Monika's ambush attack, allowing Uno to prepare his shield beforehand]].

* TheDreaded: Anyone who is aware of the strength feats of an Eternal trembles from their presence alone. Sierokarte even claims that even the bravest warriors fear them and that each Eternal is individually powerful as the Seven Luminiary Knights.

* InformedAttribute: Their title as the strongests in the skies. While all Eternals are ''very'' strong and all of them can be {{GameBreaker}}s they never fight anything other than the Captain, each other, or some hapless {{Mook}}s that don't stand a chance against even regular crew members, let alone the Eternals. Since they've never been seen in a fight with groups that ''can'' challenge them, such as the Arcarum Evokers, the 12 Divine Generals, the Luminary Knights, or creatures that can threaten the world, such as [[TopGod Bahamut]], [[EldritchAbomination Akasha]], [[TheDreaded Grand Order]], [[SealedEvilInACan Avatar]], [[HybridMonster Beelzebub]], [[SatanicArchetype Belial]], or [[spoiler: [[TheAntiGod Lucilius]]]], their place in the totem pole of power in the Sky Realm is left up in the air.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Can come off as a bit of a ditz, not making meetings, having difficulty bringing his own crew together, and generally avoided for his antics and strange hobbies. On the other hand, he's the leader of a crew that can stand on equal footing with the Luminary Knights. [[spoiler:In his final fate episode, Seofon fights all nine of the other Eternals on his own]][[spoiler:, and in Old Bond, just a glare and some thrown swords at Lu Woh was enough for the dragon to stop the fight against the Captain, with the implication later that he was ''startled'' by Seofon's power]].
