History Fridge / GranblueFantasy

** If Sefer Raziel is capable of doing almost anything, including turning ideas into reality, why doesn't she simply write a page about resurrection and use it to bring Lucifer back to life? The idea is not even mentioned in her debut event or fate episodes, despite the fact that it is a logical conclusion to draw after hearing everything Sefer Raziel can do.

* According to the CreationMyth, the reason why so many characters from ''Granblue Fantasy'' look like characters from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' is because Bahamut imitated the world he left behind when he created this one. However, only a small number of characters actually look like characters from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' while a majority of the others are ''Granblue'' originals. While this may imply that the world Bahamut left behind wasn't necessrily ''[=RoB=]'' as we know it, it could also imply that other characters that were copy and pasted into this world, including other beloved ones, are long dead due to being copy and pasted before the current time the game is set in. Who knows how long ago the other characters were being born into the world?

* Lucio's penchant of referring to himself as a stage and theater manager now makes a lot of sense with TheReveal in "What Makes The Sky Blue: 000", that he is a speaker of the gods in ''Granblue Fantasy'''s creation myth, or rather, the god's proxy. He watches the world the gods created revolve around [[JustForPun from behind the scenes]] and cements himself as a neutral force unless someone tries to harm the balance the gods had established.

** The SignatureMove of the Supreme Primarch being aptly named "Paradise Lost" is animated in the game as [[DeathFromAbove downward rays of light piercing the clouds]], which also alludes to Creator/GustaveDore's [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Paradise_Lost_12.jpg illustration]] from the third chapter of the literature, also showing Satan's fall from grace. From the sequel of "What Makes The Sky Blue", a ScriptedBattle requires Sandalphon to [[JustForPun fell]] Avatar using the said ability, which further adds to the event's similarities with the literature it is named from.

* A subtle trivia which is concealed by a DubNameChange: In "What Makes the Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost", the revival of the Avatar takes place after the death of Lucifer. Avatar takes the appearance of Satan from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'', ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'', and the summon stone associated with him in ''Granblue''. In other words (and even though Lucifer and Satan are treated as separate characters in the franchise of ''Creator/{{Cygames}}''), the event parallels the incident from Literature/TheBible (or specifically, Creator/JohnMilton's ''Literature/ParadiseLost'' derived from the first parts of Genesis) where Satan was the result of Lucifer being deposed.

* In Event Lily's fate episode serving as a continuation of "A Piece of the Pie", Lily was touring the captain, Lyria and Vyrn around the Crystal Palace and came across the "Propagation Room" on the tenth floor, which is forbidden and guarded by another Crystalia. With the meaning of the word "propagation" and the urges of the other Crystalia to keep the young members away, the room could be implied to be a breeding/mating room for the Crystalia. However, who would be their partner since their race is mostly dominated by females? Do they even abduct males from other races to turn them into their personal BreedingSlave?

** Lucio dislikes snakes. Now who among the angels are associated with snakes? Azazel. However, this contradicts one of Lucifer's major characterizations from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'', where Azazel is supposed to be his loyal servant. Strangely enough, Lucio's likes don't list coffee, which is supposed to be one of the things Lucifer shares with Sandalphon. Both of these inconsistencies straight up fuel the theory that Lucio is a different entity from Lucifer. It may make sense if the snake Lucio meant is actually Belial, a "What Makes The Sky Blue" trilogy villain who has snake motifs and is called such by ''Azazel'' himself.
*** As revealed in Azazel’s skill fate and 000, Azazel follows the Supreme Primarch Lucifer rather than Lucio and is still loyal to him despite being tricked into betraying him. See FridgeLogic for the implications that come with that.

** Again, supposing Helel is supposed to be the copy and pasted Lucifer from Rage Of Bahamut ignoring all the implications that come with that, and that he has two forms both bestowed upon him by Bahamut, why would Bahamut create Lucifer, or at least someone that looks like him, specifically to be his speaker? Bahamut has no close relation to Lucifer other than the fact that they’re both SeriesMascot ‘s for Cygames.
* Outside of the creation myth, another Luciface related question is Lucio’s tiny wings. Lucifer was clearly made in remembrance of Helel in his “Lucio” form, but with Helel’s power. However, the primary difference in their designs and the only real differentiating feature before them other than their sprites being different is the fact that Lucio has two sets of wings. A tiny pair, and the pair that resemble the Supreme Primarch’s wings. Lucifer is only shown to have one pair of wings, which is the Supreme Primarch wings that are assumed to hold all of his power. Lucio’s tiny wings are fully functional and clearly a part of his body, so it begs the question of why Lucilius didn’t give Lucifer two different sets of wings when he made him.

--> "His [[AdultFear friends will die off one by one]], and the task of protecting an [[DudeWheresMyRespect ungrateful world]] will wear on him, but he will [[WhoWantsToLiveForever live on forever – alone]], misunderstood, [[TheGreatestStoryNeverTold laboring in futility]]".

* Some aspects of Lucifer's death and how Lucilius is able to operate his body make little sense. A core is, well, core to a primal entire being and their physical forms are projected from that. While they established that chaos matter is able to kill primals, another way to kill primals is by destroying their cores. That's all well and good and Lucifer's core wasn't destroyed when he died. However, his soul ''left his body'' as well as his core when he died, meaning that the projected form of his physical body as a primal should have been erased with it if we're to apply everything we've learned about primal to how his death ''should'' have worked. Yet, in "000" Lucifer's body is still intact, though clearly showing the effects of the passage of time after his death (which also doesn't make sense since his body is immortal) and Lucilius is able to puppeteer it without not having the soul of an actual primal or even partially being one. Lucio ''did'' say that Lucifer was subconsciously created to complete Lucilius, but did that also entail Lucilius subconsciously making it so Lucifer's body would be compatible with an Astrals even though he had no intention of killing Lucifer off? Unless Lucifer's soul is actually stashed away in his core to keep it intact and everyone is unaware of this fact, the writers may have made a funny. Even if they explained it away as there is ''other'' primal inside of Lucifer's core, that wouldn't explain how Lucifer's body didn't immediately poof as soon as his consciousness was separated from it and if not then, after he transferred his powers upon dying. There shouldn't have been enough time for Beelzebub and Belial to make any adjustments to it.

* In "The Other Side of the Sky", Vyrn has to enroll in Mysteria so that he can learn how to use magic. When he tries to practice channeling a spell, he just can't do it. Considering the events of the first arc's climax, Vyrn gains the ability to ''cancel'' or [[AntiMagic nullify magic]], as demonstrated when he nullified Yggdrasil's Malice corruption and Gilbert's Otherworldy form. So it would make sense why Vyrn has difficulties in bringing forth magic - he blocks them in the first place.

* In the [[https://i.imgur.com/f3KSDT0.jpg downloadable wallpaper of the 1000th comic strip of ''Grand Blues!'']], the angelic Primals are shown at the top right corner, with Lucio using his [[MundaneUtility powers of light to bring sparks to the image's title]]. Beside him is a confused Olivia, seemingly examining him. This may be a proper reaction to how a powerful being would use his powers for mundane things, but there is another lore-wise interpretation of this. Olivia may be looking at Sandalphon, confused that there are now two Supreme Primarchs (as implied in her Fate Episodes, Olivia only knows the existence of one), and she has never met Sandalphon in any event, nor knew of Sandalphon's heritage from "What Makes the Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost" since Olivia wasn't present in the event.

* Not actually a GameplayAndStoryIntegration per se, but some characters' playable versions tend to apply some exaggerated tropes or ''Grand Blues!''-exclusive {{Running Gag}}s into their skill set or mechanics, even though they aren't explicitly covered by their main lore:
** Summer Naoise's passive "Irestill Knight" boosts his defense by 80% when he is debuffed. In ''Grand Blues!'', Naoise is able to resist the harmful effects of [[LethalChef Katalina]]'s lethal cooking (sometimes even exaggerated as applying the Poison StatusAilment), and eat it like any ordinary food.
** Summer Sandalphon's passive "Nostalgic Flavor" makes him immune to the Sleep status effect. Since one of his defining characterizations is his [[MustHaveCaffeine obsession for coffee]], it would make sense as caffeine overdose can induce insomnia, or the feeling of sleeplessness.

* According to the CreationMyth, the reason why so many characters from ''Granblue Fantasy'' look like characters from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' is because Bahamut imitated the world he left behind when he created this one. However, only a small number of characters actually look like characters from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' while a majority of the others are ''Granblue'' originals. While this may imply that the world Bahamut left behind wasn’t necessrily ''[=ROB=]'' as we know it, it could also imply that other characters that were copy and pasted into this world, including other beloved ones, are long dead due to being copy and pasted before the current time the game is set in. Who knows how long ago the other characters were being born into the world?

* Pholia has a good reason to worry about feeding chocolate to Bai Ze (a Primal Beast taking the appearance of a dog). Because in RealLife, even a small amount of chocolate can be lethal to dogs - they can experience vomiting or diarrhea at most but can complicate into seizures, internal bleeding, or heart attack. The thing is, she's ComicallyMissingThePoint. Bai Ze is a Primal Beast who won't just die from eating a chocolate.

* In relation to the examples above dealing with biblical names, characters [[ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming named after mythological pantheon]], or [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous popular and historical people]] will have traits or lore inspired by their original or real-life counterparts. Basic concepts and easily-recognizable ones include Zeus being the god of thunder, Odin riding Sleipnir armed with his spear, Thor using Mjolnir, Fenrir being a subordinate of Loki, Shiva being associated as the Destroyer, Cagliostro with healing and alchemy, Rackam with a ship, etc... However, there are also others who deserve a mention as they have subtle alterations in ''Granblue'' from their original counterparts:
** Abel is [[PosthumousCharacter already dead]] and has a brother named Cain. But unlike their biblical counterparts, Cain loves his brother, and Abel's death was caused by someone else. Some Biblical translations also suggest that the "Mark of Cain" is a curse that turned him into a nomadic or a wanderer. Whereas, it is the opposite of ''Granblue'' Cain's case (at least before he joined the Grandcypher) - He serves loyalty to Pholia in the kingdom of Idelva, staying there with his sister-in-law Leona.

** Noa is the Primal Beast of ships and shipwrights. He is possibly named after [[Literature/TheBible Noah, who is known for the Ark]].
*** The similarities would make even more sense thanks to the gacha mechanic that allows you to recruit playable characters and summons into the Grandcypher - including Erunes (based on canine and feline species), Draphs (based on cows and bulls), humans with animalistic traits (Nezahualpilli being a bird-person), and actual animals acting as companions for some characters (Dante's cats, Carmelina's lion, Wulf) and summons (a Gorilla, a duck named Hamsa), etc. This makes a parallel in the biblical narrative where the Ark houses various animal species as part of God's plan.
*** Interestingly, Noah's Ark departs as soon as rainstorm clouds come in, before The Great Flood is delivered. At least in the anime of ''Granblue'', the first task that the party does after the Grandcypher takes off for the first time is to fly through the stormy clouds created by the corrupted Tiamat.
*** His normal and 5★ Charge Attacks are named "Divine Flood" and "Sacred Arc" respectively, which serve as an explicit allusion or wordplay to the Biblical Noah.

* In Episode 13, Djeeta repels the laser beams of the floating droids by simply blocking them with her sword. The weapon that came with the Blu Ray Vol 4 Promo Code is named [[https://gbf.wiki/Prototype Prototype]] and its "Defend" Sword Master ability is a Repel buff.

* In Episode 12 of the anime, Leviathan is unable to move when Yggdrasil traps him by summoning an earth pillar. Later, Eugen delivers a shot that finishes the swarm of polluted fish. Both attacks that made Leviathan vulnerable are performed by Earth-element characters. In-game, Water enemies are weak to the Earth element.
** Likewise, Zeta's attack on the large fish swarm was implied to be ineffective because she's a Fire-element character, who is weak to Water.

** Noa is the Primal Beast of ships and shipwrights. He is possibly named after [[Literature/TheBible Noah, who is known for the Ark]]. The similarities would make even more sense thanks to the gacha mechanic that allows you to recruit playable characters and summons into the Grandcypher - including Erunes (based on canine and feline species), Draphs (based on cows and bulls), humans with animalistic traits (Nezahualpilli being a bird-person), and actual animals acting as companions for some characters (Dante's cats, Carmelina's lion, Wulf) and summons (a Gorilla, a duck named Hamsa), etc. This makes a parallel in the biblical narrative where the Ark houses various animal species as part of God's plan.

** Summer Naoise's passive "Irestill Knight" boosts his defense by 80% when he is debuffed. In ''Grand Blues!'', Naoise is able to resist the harmful effects of [[LethalChef Katalina]]'s lethal cooking, and eat it like any ordinary food.

** If Helel is perhaps supposed to be the copy and pasted Lucifer of the Granblue Universe, why wasn’t he named Lucifer, as every other character that was copy and pasted shares the same name, most some of their personality[[note]] Except in rare cases like Monika[[/note]] and background as the characters from the assumed previous world. This further implies that Helel isn’t truly a Lucifer clone as not only does his true form [[YouDontLookLikeYou not resemble Lucifer]], he is also vastly different from the original in terms of personality, speech and mannerisms.

** Snow White (Water) was able to easily [[HumanPopsicle freeze]] Satyr (Fire) without the latter fighting back. Water-elementals have advantage over Fire-Elementals.
