Sanrio Characters: Come On Over to Hello Land!
Some days ago, Hello Kitty and a few of her friends suddenly found themselves in the world of Granblue Fantasy with no way back home. Seeking refuge, they turn to Aglovale and Wales for a plot of land, turning it into their new home as a theme park named "Hello Land".
Fast forward to the present, Aglovale and Percival both decide to visit the park for the first time to survey their progress. Coincidentally, the day also happens to be April Fools Day, meaning Vyrn? shows up again and challenges the duo to a fight. What kind of shenanigans is Vyrn? cooking up this time?
Tropes
- All for Nothing: Vyrn? locked up Hello Kitty with the intention of stealing the limelight for her upcoming 50th anniversary. Not only did the crew not care about him, Hello Kitty eventually got freed by Hangyodon, who Vyrn? sees as a "dumb fish".
- April Fools' Day: This event doubles as the 2023 edition of the game's yearly "Big Bad Shadow" April Fools event, meaning Vyrn? is your opponent once again.
- Crossover: With the Sanrio brand as a whole.
- Hero-Worshipper: Hangyodon looks up to Aglovale and wants to become a hero. He becomes one after saving Hello Kitty, earning him Aglovale's commendation and Vaseraga's praise.
- Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure: Hello Kitty is five apples tall, which also doubles as a metric for lovability. Percival lampshades the unusual unit of measure.
- Insistent Terminology: Aglovale corrects Percival that the Sanrio characters are visitors, not outsiders.
- Literal-Minded: Percival's first reaction to Hello Land is to call it "a land of greetings". This only applies to the English translation as the original Japanese has him simply ask for details about the place.
- Motive Decay: At the end of the event, Vyrn? has internal thought about the point of fighting in the first place. The appearance of Katalina? jogged his memories back.
- Not So Above It All: Not even Ilsa could handle the cuteness of the Sanrio characters, eventually giving up resistance on Hello Kitty.
- Only Sane Man: Because most of the crew is enamored by the cuteness of the Sanrio characters, Vyrn? becomes the only being that's trying to hold it in and telling others to snap out. Ilsa is the second best, only to completely crack with Hello Kitty.
- Puppy-Dog Eyes: Seeing Ilsa holding back, Pompompurin believes Ilsa hates Hello Land and gives this look to make her change her mind.
