History Fridge / GranblueFantasy

** 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 not resemble Lucifer, he is also vastly different from the original in terms of personality, speech and mannerisms.

*** As well, when Helel says “And his speaker” he doesn’t necessarily imply that Lucio is the form he was given by Bahamut, especially since we see his “true” form almost right after. We don’t know for certain that VideoGame/RageOfBahamut is the world Bahamut left behind in this cycle, as in a way all of the Cygames universes are connected and there is a possibility that there were many worlds made from these splits. With the reveal of his true form, it could be possible that it’s Helel who apes the image of an unseen character from another world yet unseen who coincidentally takes on the form of Lucifer for his disguise for some unknown reason.
** Again, supposing Helel is supposed to be the copy and pasted Lucifer from Rage Of Bahamut, 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.

** Nezha (Wind) had difficulties fighting Zaoshen (Fire) despite being acknowledged by his primal pals to be stronger than them. Fire-elementals have advantage over Wind-elementals.

!! Fridge Logic

** 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?

*** As with the implementation of Azazel’s character and his scene in 000, it’s revealed that he still follows Lucifer, still being a loyal servant to him with this being consistent with loyalty to Lucifer from both VideoGame/RageOfBahamut[[note]] Azazel was more of a goon to Lucifer in the game while in the anime, they’re actually seen having interactions and a dynamic[[/note]], Anime/RageOfBahamutGenesis and it’s sequel, Anime/RageOfBahamutVirginSoul. This is also implied to still be the case in VideoGame/Shadowverse as Azazel has a special voice line with Lucifer. He is also in a growing line of VideoGame/RageOfBahamut characters that are still associated with Lucifer, or are based off of characters or motifs associated him from that game and it’s successors, despite this universe being different and Lucio’s being the original here. Does this confirm that Supreme Primarch Lucifer fulfills the role of the Lucifer that was copy and pasted into the Granblue Fantasy universe, rather than Lucio who has no relation to these characters?

** Among the characters in the game, Cagliostro has lived long for at least two millennia thanks to her ImmortalitySeeker goals, and she might have experienced the full blunt of the WhoWantsToLiveForever trope, as detailed by Belial above.

** "As well as his Speaker" - In this case, [=WMTSB3=] reveals that Lucio is the Speaker being referred to, which serves as a plot point and the reason why he looks exactly like (and shares the same voice actor as) two other characters Lucifer and Lucilius. As explained above, this is another example of a reused character design. All three are based on the Lucifer from ''Rage of Bahamut'', a SeriesMascot of Cygames, who is prominently featured since their early days promoting ''[=RoB=]''.

** 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 his friend 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.

* 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 Lucifer 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.

* Tyre intentionally missing out his chance to ask Vira on a date in favor of spending time with the Lowain bros might be a suprising OutOfCharacter moment for him, especially since Tyre just mustered the courage of speaking with his crush after the times of avoiding Vira. He has a generally acceptable reason to do this. The event implies his HiddenDepths trait where he knows how to analyze a situation to liven up the mood of others. Tyre knows that should he have went to the romantic route with Vira, the Lowain trio might have the possibility of being depressed over the idea that a friend they've just bonded for a short while is capable of making a significant leap to romance while Lowain hasn't even managed to make a progress with Katalina.

* In "What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000", Belial tries to explain the absurdity of the near-immortal Primal Beasts wanting to live together with mortal skydwellers, using a simple paragraph that invokes three correlated tropes, which actually make sense if taken seriously. This also exemplifies one of Belial's prominent characterizations as the Fallen Angel of Cunning, as well as the SatanicArchetype of the game - ''being able to craft convincing lies''.

* If the "Winter Nights, Stardust Memories" event is any indication, [[AllMythsAreTrue there is a real]] Santa Claus in the world of the Skydom, along with his magical flying sleigh! However, the event's story goes as far as mentioning Fenrir eating his reindeer with Loki trying to steal the gifts. By the time your crew reaches the two, the scene implies that Fenrir really did ate the reindeer as there are no longer anyone near the sleigh. It just goes to show how Santa Claus is just an ordinary skydweller, who can fall victim to the tricks of the game's antagonists.

* 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.

** Eden describes a FallenAngel, but is the unlocking weapon of Lucio, the supposed Supreme Primarch governing the powers of light. But as Lucio's real identity still remains a mystery, this also goes well into WMG territory.

* 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 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... There are also others who deserve a mention as they have subtle alterations in ''Granblue'' from their original counterparts:

** "The building blocks of matter, the fundamentals of ecology, and people's appearances, for example." - This is an allusion to the ReusedCharacterDesign, ProductionThrowback, TheCameo and MythologyGag tropes being generally applied to the setting and lore of ''Granblue'' and its characters, which is nowadays prevalent in Cygames RPG titles - They ''love'' to reuse their character designs and lore, which explains why numerous characters and entities in this game originate from ''Rage of Bahamut''. It also stretches further into other Cygames RPG titles too, such as ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'' and ''VideoGame/Shadowverse'' where characters and entities either get directly imported from ''Rage of Bahamut'', have cameos, or [[{{Expy}} look-alikes]]. Furthermore, ever wonder why many Cygames [=RPGs=] all have "Rupies" as the main currency?

* Albert is best known for his Lightning-based attacks, and his passive skill guarantees Double Attacks every turn. Therefore, using him in your party is an allusion to the phrase ''"lightning will strike twice"''.
