History Awesome / GranblueFantasy

--> ""All right, you miscreants! [[{{Understatement}} Field trip]]'s over! Back to school!"

* Sandalphon's CharacterDevelopment in "What Makes The Sky Blue: Paradise Lost", starting from the moment when he breaks out of the cocoon, he seeks out Lucifer's voice while the captain, Lyria, and Vyrn are still unconscious. Then he find's Lucifer's remnant, a severed head, which later passed the supreme primarch wings to Sandalphon. After desperately finding out a purpose in life, and his breakdown when he learned that he was just a substitute for Lucifer in the first run of the event, he finally got what he was longing for - fulfilling his role as Lucifer's substitute, and the wings that he once envied. When he later meets Belial and Beelzebub, his first action was to stab his sword on the latter, without them noticing beforehand.

* Granblue Fantasy is so well-known for its quality in storywriting, characters, and gameplay that it has a sizable overseas following despite technically remaining unreleased outside of Japan. Cygames is well aware of its overseas fanbase, adding an in-house English translation team in 2016 for their players.

!! The Game

** Threo manages to defeat the dragon that attacked her while she was asleep.
** Narmaya demonstrates her abilities by tapping on a tree and then quickly cutting the falling leaves in the blink of an eye - a feat that Gran / Djeeta failed to do upon imitating her. She also gets one particular brief moment in her 5★ episode - where she accidentally slashed upwards, visibly ''splitting clouds'' in the process.
** Lady Grey's "[[NotSoDifferent I won't become a monster]]" speech is accompanied by the transformation of her spectral family into their larger sizes, despite the fact that they were easily shattered by a necromancer a few moments before.
** Nazahualpilli, despite being acrophobic DIVES FROM A FLYING AIRSHIP DOWN TO THE ISLAND BELOW to save a man who had previously refused to help him, landing without even a scratch.
* Story Events and Collaborations usually feature a CrowningMomentOfAwesome scene at the climax or near the end of the story:

When he later meets Belial and Beelzebub, his first action was to stab his sword on the latter, without them noticing beforehand.
** In "Ranger Sign Bravo", Fenrir stands in Walder's way of getting to Jade, feeling it's the best route. Walder persists, fighting her and getting thrashed, but [[{{Determinator}} he doesn't stay down]], even from attacks Fenrir thinks should kill him. By the time the rest of the party gets there, he's down in a rather bloody heap, right before he gets up once more. The whole thing earns some sort of respect from the usually misanthropic primal beast, with her saying she doesn't care to eat him.
** In "Auld Lanxiety", Zooey takes on the Joya into a chase and a gun-fight ''from outer space''. The scene's narration can be compared to the battles of the ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' series.
** In "The Other Side of the Sky", Elmott is able to deliver an ArmorPiercingQuestion against the CEO of Tandem, and convinces the committee to halt the suspension which would be given to Tsubasa. He also shows that he can be calm and collective even after watching two rival delinquent gangs nearly beat each other to death. Elmott then mentions this gem, which makes even the event's BigBad to know how amazing he is.

* The Charge Attack and Summon Call Animations, especially those with noticeable AnimationBump for the RuleOfCool:
** Some of the Eternals' Charge attacks involve a change in background scenery as they prepare their attack. Threo's [[FlamingMeteor Meteor Thrust]] has her summon a meteor from the sky and drop it down to the enemy, and it deals 999,999 NonElemental Damage which is great for DamageSponge bosses.
** Event Zeta's Charge Attack involves an animation in which she thrusts her spear but appears similar to a Summon call. Likewise, Zooey's Gun version has her fly into space and deliver a giant laser beam with her [[RayGun gun]], before returning to the battlefield.
** Tiamat's Charge Attack "Aerial Blitz" certainly lives up to its name. It involves her flying up out of the screen and into the sky, where she makes her 3 dragon head tails appear and shoots a dozen purple lasers at the enemy before coming back down.
* Being able to successfully pull off the effective, yet [[RandomNumberGod RNG]]-reliant nukes and abilities for the first time may give the player a CrowningMomentOfAwesome vibe:
** Barawa's Bluff is known for dealing a random damage by multiplying his attack up to a damage multiplier of 100,000% and it has a maximum cap of 10 million. An extremely lucky 10 million Bluff can end an Omega raid (or even a fight against an Eternal) in one turn! Additionally, since Bluff deals elemental damage, it is affected by the ElementalRockPaperScissors and damage-increasing {{Status Buff}}s, ramping the damage to exceed the said cap.
** Oh My Bahamut is Pengy's equivalent to Barawa's bluff, capable of randomly dealing [[NonElemental Plain Damage]] up to the cap of 9,999,999 or 75% of the target's maximum HP (whichever is lower). If luck favors you, the MVP chest of that raid can be easily yours.

* In Chapter 114, the first four primal beasts acted in their own volition to protect the Grandcypher as it ascends from the explosion caused by Ebisu. This act even suprised Lyria, their supposed summoner. For a short scene such as this, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scene_cp114_01.png Colossus]], [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scene_cp114_02.png Leviathan]], [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scene_cp114_03.png Yggdrasil and Tiamat]] even have their own CG to show what they were capable of doing at that time.
* In Chapter 105, 'Round Two', just when the rest of the crew are getting overwhelmed by an unstable Ganesha, we get the glorious reunion of Eugen, Io, Rosetta, and Rackam in a wonderful BigDamnHeroes moment. After happily greeting everyone, the four of them proceed to successfully fight off the primal beast in a second showdown (hence the chapter name 'round two').
** The Rhem King gets special mention. After a lot of self-deprecation and a moment of worry that the pressure finally got to him when he runs away after the first unsuccessful fight against Ganesha, he turned out to be the one who lead the rest of the MC's crew to them! If it weren't for him, who knows what would've happened!

!! The Anime

** As for the RuleOfCool, Eugen manages to prove his [[ImprobableAimingSkills sharp shooting]] by sniping the "leader" fish among the numerous floating group from a long distance.

* The fight against the Primal Beasts have some shade of awesomeness too:

* In Chapter 114, the first four primal beasts acted in their own volition to protect the Grandcypher as it ascends from the explosion caused by Ebisu. This act even suprised Lyria, their supposed summoner. For a short scene such as this, Colossus, Leviathan, Yggdrasil and Tiamat even have their own CG to show what they were capable of doing at that time.

* The fight between [[spoiler:the Black Knight and Pommern, under the effects of the Dark Crystal]] is briefly shown as the main party advances ahead. The [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome narration mentions]] that the [[spoiler:Black Knight]] subdued [[spoiler:Pommern]] with only ''three sword strikes''.

** We later get to see the fight between [[spoiler:Tiamat atop Port Breeze]] in its animated glory. It takes place in the [[HighAltitudeBattle high skies]] with the Grancypher dodging several attacks from the Primal Beast, and Gran sky diving in order to get close.

** Tiamat's Charge Attack "Aerial Blitz" certainly lives up to its name. It involves her flying up out of the screen and into the sky, where she summons her 3 dragon adds and shoots a dozen purple lasers at the enemy before coming back down.

** In ''Ranger Sign Bravo'', Fenrir stands in Walder's way of getting to Jade, feeling it's the best route.

* Episode 8 has one that also counts in the RuleOfFunny: When Mary's bomb misses the Clay Golem's mouth, Gran finishes it by performing a slam-dunk.

Additionally, since Bluff deals elemental damage, it is affected by the ElementalRockPaperScissors and damage-increasing StatusBuffs, ramping the damage to exceed the said cap.

* The Fate Episodes contain some examples of this, particularly for the BigDamnHeroes introductions of some characters and those who have their 5* Uncaps, or when unlocking a skill:

** Gran manages to block the [[BFS large sword]] of Colossus using his own sword, and the party manages to defeat it by skewering a huge icicle. And even when they knocked it out, Colossus manages to save Io from a collapsing rubble by using its weight.

** We later get to see the fight between [[spoiler:Tiamat atop PortBreeze]] in its animated glory. It takes place in the [[HighAltitudeBattle high skies]] with the Grancypher dodging several attacks from the Primal Beast, and Gran sky diving in order to get close.
