History HoYay / GranblueFantasy

* Claudia towards Lyria, not subtext either.

** Mari is PromotedToPlayable in a dual unit with Meg and the weapon that unlocks them is the ''Marriage Ring''. During their fate episode, Meg intends to purchase a "Stone of Happiness" from a conman until the crew show up to put a stop to it. By the end of the fate, Meg has gotten her hands on the stone, which is attached to a ring, and explains she wanted to give it to Mari to ensure her happiness. Mari being Mari, she considers this an engagement ring.

** At the start of ''Unbound Asterism'', she wakes up on Tikoh's lap and comments on its softness. However, her gayest moment is the climax of the event in which [[spoiler: she and Tristette [[BigDamnKiss kiss after laying their feelings out through battle and sorting through them]].

* On his valentine message, Yuri is implied to have a crush on the player. Although this is probably directly only to Djeeta, his message fits Gran just as much.
** On his duo version with Farrah's valentine's message, Farrah taunts him over this crush.

* On his valentine message, he is implied to have a crush on the player. Although this is probably directly only to Djeeta, his message fits Gran just as much.

* Halluel, a female Primarch, isn’t above flirting with female characters to the point where Malluel calls her out on it. Also, if it wasn’t for the fact that Halluel and Malluel are stated to be [[TwinCest twin/sister angels,]] one would think they’re canon girlfriends due to their very un-sibling like pose with each other. She comes onto Lyria multiple times during their interactions, especially during the “The Maydays” summer event.

** As of ''A 37-Year-Old's Sauna Horizons'', she has become much closer to Tikoh, wanting to go to the sauna with her and assuming Tikoh wants to avoid her when she rejects Deliford's invitation to the Sauna. She has also befriended Tabina and Meg.

** The official profile for Mari's Auguste of the Dead version explicitly states that she is in love with Meg.

* The event "Marionette Stars" introduces the NPC Cupitan, who becomes playable shortly after. She is travelling the skies in order to save her childhood friend Tristette. It becomes incredibly heartbreaking when it's revealed that Tristette genuinely ''hates'' her and joined Navis willingly.

* The event "Marionette Stars" introduces the NPC Cupitan, who becomes playable shortly after. She is travelling the skies in order to save her childhood friend Tristette. It becomes incredibly heartbreaking when it's revealed that Tristette genuinely ''hates'' her.

'''Anne''': I'd fall... On Grea's [[BuxomIsBetter Treasure Chest!]]\\

* ''[[DepravedBisexual Belial]]'', hoo boy, [[UpToEleven and even moreso]] in the Japanese version. He explicitly asks Rackam if he wants to sodomize, and later expresses a desire to "train" Sandalphon until he's "submissive" and asks if he's a virgin. The man is a walking case of HoYay.

[[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters With so many characters]], the series was [[ForegoneConclusion bound]] to have many examples.

* [[{{Yandere}} Vira]] towards Katalina, to the point it isn't subtext at all. Farrah and Lyria are both charmed by her, too.

* The event "Marionette Stars" introduces the NPC Cupitan, who becomes playable shortly after. She is travelling the skies in order to save her childhood friend Tristette.

* Lucilius and Lucifer have their own bits of Hoyay, however ambiguous it may be on ''Lucilius''' end.
** Lucifer is the only character Lucilius is shown to treat fairly nicely, as they had a good bit of trust in each other and he allowed Lucifer to refer to him as "friend", unprompted. If his conversation with Beelzebub is any indication, he seems quite fond of the title as well.

** Lucilius apparently ''smiled'' after Lucifer killed him, with Belial knowing immediately that Lucifer had done the job because only Lucifer can make Lucilius smile like that.

* Lucilius’ interactions with Lucifer and how he regards him have sparked some popularity in the ship between them due to Lucifer apparently being the only character he treats "nicely". His dialogue also suggests that upon finding out that [[spoiler: Lucifer had been killed]], despite initially being dismissive of it, he’s bitter and mournful, regarding him as "his only equal" and having an obvious preference for Lucifer over to [[IgnoredEnamoredUnderling Belial]] even in spite of the former [[spoiler: being dead]]. It's also implied in flashbacks in "000" that Belial was jealous of the favoritism Lucilius' showed to Lucifer, which makes sense as present day Belial would go on to essentially confess to Lucilius that he's in love with him.

** During the Maydays summer event, we’re treated to [[spoiler:Lucio]] returning to his TheGadFly role and tormenting Sandalphon, which some fans had interpreted as him flirting with Sandalphon to get a rise out of him or because he has an unrequited crush. Unfortunately for him, Sandalphon doesn’t take to well to it and it comes off as [[AllLoveIsUnrequited incredibly one-sided]]. Lucio's summer fate episodes add more clarity to this, as he finds his appearance being the same as Lucifer's regrettable due to the pain it's caused other people (likely in reference to those who fight over his beauty) and Sandalphon, who is still grieving his present separation from Lucifer, but he explains that he can't change his looks because it was what his master bestowed upon him for reasons even he is unaware of. He confirms that he wants to become friends with Sandalphon, which squashes the idea that he has a crush on him, and explains that he doesn't want to be viewed as a copy of Lucifer, but as himself so that they can become friends without him hurting him further. They come to a mutual understanding due to the roles that they both have to serve in order to protect the Sky Realm, and though they go back to bickering by the end of it because of Lucio's trolling, Lyria notes that [[VitriolicBestBuds they seem closer by the end of the Skill Fate]].

* Barawa and Chat Noir have this in spades, coupled with FoeYay. Despite Barawa's incompetence, Chat considers him his great rival and will go out of his way to help him when he's in trouble, as seen in Barawa R's Fate Episode. Barawa also defends Chat's honor in his Cross Fate Episode with Catherine, who immediately picks up what's going on.

* Yuel and Societte are ChildhoodFriends whose relationship borders on PseudoRomanticFriendship . Like Grea's case above, Yuel received a Summer version on 2019 with a swimsuit-clad Societte making a cameo in her Fate Episode. The episode itself revolves around the two Erunes planning to spend time with each other. And oh boy, Summer Yuel's [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D17tRAEUwAA3fmp.jpg:large uncap art]] has Societte gently caressing her hair.

* The event ''Marionette Stars'' introduces the NPC Cupitan, who becomes playable shortly after. She is travelling the skies in order to save her childhood friend Tristette.

* Newest example is in SR Joel's fate episode, where Gran gets basically heartbroken over possibility of Joel leaving. While this can be taken as an example of [[HeterosexualLifePartners strong friendship]], animation makes it more difficult to do so.

* Yuel and Societte are ChildhoodFriends whose relationship borders on RomanticTwoGirlFriendship. Like Grea's case above, Yuel received a Summer version on 2019 with a swimsuit-clad Societte making a cameo in her Fate Episode. The episode itself revolves around the two Erunes planning to spend time with each other. And oh boy, Summer Yuel's [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D17tRAEUwAA3fmp.jpg:large uncap art]] has Societte gently caressing her hair.

** Meg and Mari are set to return for the "Auguste of the Dead" event, and [[https://https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E7S2zdkUcAgUNX7.jpg Cygames released some art]] featuring the two that is Yuel and Societte-tier levels of suggestive of their relationship.

* Anthuria's interest in the protagonist. Doubly so if it's Djeeta you're playing as.

* Both Meg and Mari from the event My Beloved Auguste are this, though in different ways. With Meg, she's lesbian coded in how she was written from the first chapter, despite her dreams of a Prince Charming. She later ''does'' have a meeting with a man (Albert) that meets the very exact qualifications of her Prince Charming...and she not only has no interest, but is confused by it. Who she does express interest in is Mari, who she's willing to put her life at risk for, though it's never stated whether it's love or just incredibly strong platonic feelings and Meg is asexual. Mari, however, develops a ''massive'' crush on Meg after the latter saves her, to the point where she has a harem of men following her because she rejected them all, despite having shown interest in them before. Instead, she's utterly infatuated with Meg, acts like she was stood up for a date when Meg shows up on Auguste (and is upset she missed her a month earlier), and her journal entry outright states that she wants the two to live a happy family life together..

** What Makes The Sky Blue: 000 pretty much solidifies their relationship into canon and most certainly deliberate ShipTease [[spoiler:with the the two confessing their feelings to each other in [[TheILoveYouStigma Granblue’s roundabout way, with Lucifer’s expressing his feelings for Sandalphon mirroring the way Belial confirms that his feelings for Lucilius are romantic. ]] Their entire, What is assumed to be last for now, interaction is heavily laden with both HoYay and the intention of drawing tears from the players as Sandalphon literally tears himself away from Lucifer before leaving him, after hesitating and giving off the impression that [[TryingNotToCry he’s trying not to cry]]. During that conversation, Sandalphon also admits to wanting to die to join Lucifer after fulfilling his promise. Lucifer is the first to see him genuinely smile. Lucifer and Sandalphon have a heart breaking final moment as Lucifer says he’ll be waiting for Sandalphon in the afterlife. As a perhaps final tribute to their relationship, Lucifer appears in’Sandalphon’s 5* uncap Paradise Lost charge attack, shouting his charge attack along with him. ]] Funnily enough, and perhaps confirmation that Cygames wasn’t simply pulling the players legs with these interactions, [[spoiler:Lucio]], of all characters, ends up shipping Lucifer and Sandalphon together after the latters display of protectivensss over the former, even going as far as to refer to Lucifer as “Your Lucifer”[[note]] In the Japanese text, he simply says “Lucifer is a lucky man” but that didn’t make it any less gay.[[/note]] in relation to Sandalphon, which Sandalphon doesn’t deny. It all has to be seen to be believed.

** More meta example include Sandalphons character song “ Ain Sophr Aur” which details the emotions he feels in Padaradise Lost [[spoiler:singing about all the things he won’t get to say to Lucifer at the time of the event after his death.]] Along with that, the skin for the CD’s FlavorText doesn’t hold back on further teasing their relationship, with the Japanese text referring to Lucifer as someone Sandalphon yearns for from the bottom of his heart with the English translation being more overt and describing Lucifer as someone he “loves so dearly.”

* As per Anime/Code geass tradition, the HoYay between Lelouch and Suzaku carries on into the Granblue Fantasy collab event, exemplified with this exchange between the two of them.

** There's a bit from The Maydays related units between Lucio and Sandalphon.
*** During the Maydays summer event, we’re treated to [[spoiler:Lucio]] returning to his TheGadFly role and tormenting Sandalphon, which some fans had interpreted as him flirting with Sandalphon to get a rise out of him or because he has an unrequited crush. Unfortunately for him, Sandalphon doesn’t take to well to it and it comes off as [[AllLoveIsUnrequited incredibly one-sided]].

*** The translation seemingly loves to play up Lucio's trolling side, [[DubPersonalityChange adding flirtious-sounding dialogue where there isn't really any]] when he interacts with Sandalphon such as when they interact in their shared summer Premium Friday shrimp quest, only further adding to the interpretation that he has a crush on him for western audiences.
