4!! FridgeBrilliance
5* At first glance, the captain having an uncategorized race (written as "???" in-game) despite looking like a human may be due to an AntiFrustrationFeature wherein they could benefit from any race-specific [[SituationalSword Bahamut Weapon]] without limiting team synergy. However, there's also a probable [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration lore explanation]] for this. Lyria had to [[{{Synchronization}} share her life link]] to save the captain in the prologue. And as the later chapters of the story and events imply, Lyria is definitely not a true human, maybe an Astral or a being outside of the Sky Realm. Receiving Lyria's life force changed the captain in to a being different from a typical skydweller, hence the "???" classification.
6** As of Chapter 177, the captain now has power on par with a deity thanks to tapping into the power of the Boundary, and with it, all of their possibilities, meaning the captain is well and truly something entirely otherworldly.
7* In the anime, the first thing that Rackam does when the crew encounters the Imperial Mages is to shoot the crystals on their [[MagicStaff scepters]]. Said mages only rely on their weapons when casting magic, just like in the game, where their attack animation has them waving their scepters.
8* Threo's "Ground Zero" skill - With just one press of a button, you can send an attack capable of dealing a large amount of [=AoE=] damage that bypasses enemy defenses, and is one of the [[GameBreaker strongest]] "nukes" in the game. It makes sense if one knows the definition of the term. "Ground Zero" is the point where a nuclear explosion occurred, and such explosion can devastate anything within its radius, no matter how durable they seem to be. But what also crosses this with FridgeHorror is a line dropped by Threo after seeing her beloved forest gone and a town was built in its place - which is a feat the she ''can'' do if she would go berserk... and she does also have a skill named "Berserker Forge".
9--> '''Threo:''' When I saw that town... When I found out how it had devoured the forest... I wanted to level every last building in that place.
10* Activating Dark SSR Vira's Luminiera Merge will overwrite any outfit you have equipped on her. On the other hand, her Grand version's Aegis Merge does not have this side-effect. It may initially be considered as a patch fix applied to the latter or it can possibly be another case of GameplayAndStoryIntegration, considering that when you fight Vira as a boss, her outfit changed and her Dark SSR's Luminiera Merge is a result of an incomplete bond between her and the primal beast. It is only then in her Grand version where there is the benefit of keeping your outfit, because of the complete bond formed between Vira and Luminiera no longer puts any physical side-effects.
11* Albert is best known for his Lightning-based attacks, and his passive skill guarantees Double Attacks every turn. This trait is an aversion of the common phrase ''"lightning will never strike the same place twice"''.
12* 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 [[Literature/BookOfGenesis Genesis]]) where Satan was the result of Lucifer being deposed.
13** 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 'fell' Avatar using the said ability, which further adds to the event's similarities with the literature it is named from.
14** The opening quest for the Magna II Avatar raid has Sandalphon repeatedly killing the aforementioned boss [[GroundhogDayLoop over-and-over again in a looping dream]]. With the above example connecting the Avatar as a figure of Satan, this scene has a parallel in Islamic lore, where the angel Sandalphon "carries on a ceaseless battle with Samael". Samael is one of the names often confused with (or sometimes associated to) Satan.
15* Being a case of both {{Irony}} and GameplayAndStorySegregation may initially describe the scene in the 13th episode of the anime where the three girls ride Colossus to cross water, despite having no side effects to the Primal Beast (Colossus, being a Fire-elemental boss should be weak against the Water element). But shortly after, the Colossus vanishes. It simply adds to the fact that any Primal Beast summoned by Lyria would only be a copy or manifestation of the real one.
16* Upon hearing that Fif has been defeated in a one-on-one match by a stranger samurai, Eahta's first reaction is to challenge that stranger to a duel. That stranger is Narmaya, and Fif fought her to break the latter's HeroicSelfDeprecation. He doesn't even remember who Narmaya is, and Fif's description of her did not help either. When Vyrn asked him if Eahta really thought of a combat from the get-go, he bluntly said "Yes" without explaining why, and the narration did not bother with this until the end of the chapter. That is, until you remember that the Ten Eternals are known as the ''Strongest'' Crew in the skies, and a stranger suddenly beating up one of them in a one-on-one would make the rest deal with it as a SeriousBusiness. Just like in Threo's penultimate episode, Seofon warned the other eight after she beat him. So by the time Threo speaks to the rest, most of them initially thought of combat. In simpler terms, Narmaya's last 5★ episode bears a slight similarity to the 5★ episodes of the Eternals.
17* In her 5★ fate episode, Threo makes fun of Seofon's inability to attract female characters, alluding it to a "bird making a nest". The comparison is actually a TruthInTelevision, as most bird species make nests for [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything breeding seasons]]. The allusion is also suitable coming from Threo, who is a WildChild raised in the forest. So it makes sense that she understands and compares some human culture to their wildlife culture counterpart.
18* In the "Bzzt! Amped Up Summer" event, Capo Tony becomes startled, panicked and loses sight of Heles (despite her being directly in front of him) when Olivia darkens the area around them. Meanwhile the skyfarers can easily see and converse with their crewmates in the dark without being interrupted by Tony. Of course during this entire event, Tony wears black sunglasses! [[TruthInTelevision How much can you even see when you wear black sunglasses in the dark?]].
19* Aside from being a TrademarkFavoriteFood thanks to Lucifer's suggestion, there could also be a symbolism as to why Sandalphon likes coffee. In "What Makes The Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost", we learn that he had just awoken from a deep slumber. Since then, he might have wanted to keep himself awake, and caffeine does just that.
20* Why does the Inchoate World appear to have a CelestialBody with glittering stars inside of his seemingly void, pitch-black appearance? In the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoth_tarot_deck Thoth Tarot]] designed by Aleister Crowley, "The World" from Rider-Waite becomes known as "The Universe".
21** It makes even more sense if one pays attention to the "Inchoate" part of its name. Its defintion refers to a state of being rudimentary, or something which has just begun. The Primal Beast's seemingly void body references that of the creation of the world, particularly in the Biblical passages - where the world was once empty.
22* Summer Zooey's infamous [[GameBreaker game breaking]] status and element make sense when you consider she's on vacation from the keeper of balance, thus causing an inversion of element and being unbalanced unlike her other versions which are on the job.
23* Zeus is the special final boss for August 2018's Unite and Fight because Europa, the most powerful Water summon, has a special connection with him in Greek myth, more specifically that time he abducted her via flying bull.
24* 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 it in the first place.
25* The [[https://granbluefantasy.jp/en/theater/index.php Official Website's Theater]] section contains additional details regarding some of the characters such as their Hobbies, Likes and Dislikes. These details are also included in the game's official news whenever new characters are released in the gacha. Nonetheless, some of these are worth looking into and explain more to their traits which are not focused on from the in-game story:
26** Drang dislikes silence. Unfortunately, his original teammates (Sturm, Orchid, Black Knight) are all reserved, calm, stoic silent-types. Yet he doesn't call them out for it. Instead, he is the one who breaks the silence by being the talkative and noisy type, further explaining Drang's loyalty to his friends over his personal preferences.
27* Gacha weapons that are used to obtain characters have {{Flavor Text}}s that describe the related character (who is usually the wielder of the said weapon), while others have vague interpretations:
28** 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 remained a mystery for years since he was included in the gacha, this also went into WMG territory among the fans. But this text becomes subverted and turns into a RedHerring instead, with the revelation in "What Makes the Sky Blue III: 000" regarding Lucio's true identity as Helel ben Sahar, a speaker of the Omnipotent who is synonymous to a loyal servant of god, different than what a FallenAngel implies.
29---> "The morning star and bearer of light falls into the forbidden darkness. Once a child of the dawn, he is now washed in the sin of taboo. But even with tainted wings, he shall illuminate the fool's abyss."
30** Melissabelle's unlocking weapon "Split End" is treated like a scythe, because that's how her PrehensileHair forms when she is in combat.
31* 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 from behind the scenes and cements himself as a neutral force unless someone tries to harm the balance the gods had established.
32* Lucio's further explanation of the CreationMyth also serves as a meta-reference to how Cygames essentially developed ''Granblue Fantasy'' over the years. To elaborate, here is the quote being dissected.
33--> '''Lucio''': "When the god of the stars undertook to create a new world, he based it on the one he left behind... The building blocks of matter, the fundamentals of ecology, and people's appearances, for example. As well as his Speaker."
34** "When the god of the stars undertook to create a new world" - Refers to the time when Creator/{{Cygames}} was still developing the game.
35** "he based it on the one he left behind..." - Explains how ''Granblue Fantasy'' is a SpiritualSuccessor to the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' franchise, with most of Cygames staff involved having past experiences with older ''FF'' titles, something that shows in the artworks, gameplay mechanics and music. Additionally, this statement also refers to the time when ''Granblue'' came after ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' which further explains the encompassing {{Crossover}} situation between ''GBF'' and ''[=RoB=]'' as detailed below.
36** "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/Fantasy titles - They ''love'' to reuse their character designs and lore, which explains why numerous characters and entities (both appearance and lore-wise) in this game originate from ''Rage of Bahamut'', albeit with subtle changes to make them naturally fit into the new setting. 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?
37** "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[[note]] In his Lucio form which is revealed to not be his true form[[/note]] (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=]''.
38*** In that same vein, Supreme Primarch Lucifer, who serves as THE Lucifer for this game, still is heavily associated with Bahamut who is also a SeriesMascot and continues to promote the game, also being heavily featured during anniversaries. He and Bahamut as summons even get uncaps at the same time.
39* Unlike most characters who had a 5* Uncap, Sandalphon doesn't have a special uncap episode or a final uncap episode at all. If one think back in a GameplayAndStoryIntegration standpoint, the first of the What Makes The Sky Blue trilogy, served as an EstablishingCharacterMoment story for Sandalphon where he is first introduced, and "What Makes The Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost", details how Sandalphon joined the heroes. And finally, "What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000", served as a story that details on Sandalphon's CharacterDevelopment. Many 5* uncap's in Granblue Fantasy serve as a CharacterDevelopment story for each character in the past. So "What Makes The Sky Blue III" is already Sandalphon's 5* Uncap and final Uncap episodes in one package.
40* Unlike his other fellow Lumiel Knights, Baotorda was never subjected to an inquisition by Cordelia. This is likely due to the fact that unlike Charlotta and Bridgette, there were many witnesses to Baotorda leaving his order. In addition, by leaving his order, he was able to achieve two things. First, he managed to prevent straining the relationships between Lumiel and the Erste Empire, and second, he openly expressed his own version of justice by protecting innocent children from being harmed by the empire. Because Cordelia's entire inquisition process solely relies on one question, "What is justice?", it is likely that she is already provided an answer.
41* In "A Walk on the Wild Side", 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.
42* Out of all the primal beasts he could summon, Geo brings out Freyr to specifically fight Baal because it is a nod to how the ElementalRockPaperScissors mechanics work in this game. Freyr is Wind-elemental and has an advantage over the Earth-elemental characters like Baal. This also applies to the next pairs of primal fights:
43** 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. But it was more even because Nezha unlike most wind primals is also part fire.
44** Snow White (Water) was able to easily [[HarmlessFreezing freeze]] Satyr (Fire) without the latter fighting back. Water-elementals have advantage over Fire-Elementals.

46!! FridgeLogic
47* According to Playable Olivia’s fate episode, Lucio meeting the crew in his skill fate episode takes place directly after the events of “What Makes The Sky Blue”, the first event in the Primarch trilogy. However, despite the characters meeting Lucifer prior to meeting Lucio, they don’t acknowledge the fact that Lucio looks exactly like Lucifer with the only “feature” differentiating them being Lucio’s small wings. This fact is also never mentioned in Paradise Lost which chronologically takes place a year later and is another event in which they acknowledge the existence of Lucifer or 000, the same event in which Lucio actively plays a part in. [[RememberTheNewGuy It could have been chalked up to the creators poor first attempt at tying Lucio into the trilogy]] or Lucio using some unmentioned charm magic that helps differentiate the two. The differences in their auras isn’t even brought up by Lyria [[ForgotAboutHisPowers who would usually be the first character to point this out.]]
48** This is made even more confusing by the fact that Lyria vaguely recognizes Helel as Lucio [[YouDontLookLikeYou who doesn’t look that much like Lucio to begin with]], but doesn’t acknowledge the fact that Lucio looks exactly like Lucifer. And in the same event story in which she does that, Sandalphon confuses Lucio for Lucifer even though by the trilogies logic, he shouldn’t since no one else does which also opens up another can of worms due to the fact that Olivia could tell Lucio wasn’t Lucifer due to the differences in their aura and somehow Sandalphon, who is closer to Lucifer than any other angel or person in general would have been, couldn’t. Could possibly be justified as Sandalphon being frantic and confused, or the creators forgetting their own logic to have a slightly more light-hearted scene for {{Fanservice}} and at Sandalphon’s expense but that’s never explicitly stated to be the case.
49* The absence of Olivia and Azazel during the events of Paradise Lost or more importantly 000 is perplexing. Chronologically, they both should have been in the crew already and at least aware of what was happening, especially since characters they both used to be involved with, Particularly Lucifer, are the people of interest and yet they only appear in a flashback that took place thousands of years ago and are never seen or mentioned again.
50* The Granblue CreationMyth revealed in “What Makes The Sky Blue: 000” leaves a few unanswered questions about the Lucifer clones.
51** For example, regarding the 3 Lucifer clones, if Lucio’s true form is that of Helel ben Sahar and Lucilius was created as a clone of Helel for the Astral world, why wouldn’t Lucilius look like Helel rather than VideoGame/RageOfBahamut Lucifer who Helel apes the image of?
52*** Granted, this could be meta explained away as a triggered chain of events that lead to the creation of a character that looks like and is named Lucifer for the Granblue Fantasy universe, fulfilling Cygames’ desire of having [[LegacyCharacter Lucifer]] appear in every original IP of theirs, who in this game is Supreme Primarch Lucifer, but in story it doesn’t make much sense.
53** Why does his Lucio form look so different from his Helel form when that isn’t the case for other Primals that take on powered down human forms?
54** 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 with their only similarity being their loyalty to a God[[note]] Helel follows Bahamut while Lucifer follows Arbiter Mortis[[/note]] which the original Lucifer ultimately questions, rebels against and kills, as opposed to Helel who remains a loyal follower.
55** Lucio’s true name and form is that of Helel Ben Sahar, perhaps meaning he is not technically the Lucifer that was copy and pasted into the Granblue Fantasy universe when it was created as he doesn’t really resemble Lucifer or any form we’ve known Lucifer to have taken in the previous franchises he’s appeared in. If that is the case, then why wasn’t the true Lucifer copy and pasted into the world as a separate character? Did the birth of Granblue Fantasy’s Supreme Primarch Lucifer satisfy there being one akin to the origin world, as he’s the only one that actually shares the name with the character in both spelling and pronunciation even if coincidentally?
56*** 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 his 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, Rage Of Bahamut: Virgin Soul. 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?
57*** While it was confirmed in an interview from WordOfGod that Lucifer is meant to represent ''Rage of Bahamut'' Lucifer in the ''Granblue Fantasy'' universe, with his role and characterization changed to reflect the different worlds, it doesn't mean that Lucifer was copy-pasted from the previous world. It's more likely that Azazel becoming loyal to him was entirely coincidental, or simply for the sake of a MythologyGag. The fact that we don't get much clarification on their relationship with each other beyond Azazel's loyalty to him hasn't helped matters, however.
58*** 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. The pictures in elementanaki show that Helel always was in his Helel form when he guided humanity, implying that he only took on the form of Lucio when he decided to go by a different name. 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.
59** 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? According to Summer Lucio's fate episode, not even he knows why he was given his "Lucio" form.
60* 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 ("Created by the stars, Loved by the Skies" seems to imply that Lucifer was created with both Lucio and Helel's powers, however). 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? From an out of game perspective it's to differentiate the two, but story-wise, it makes no sense especially when the original ''Rage of Bahamut'' Lucifer is brought into it. Perhaps Lucilius thought that aspect of him was silly and left it out.
61* 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 Lucifer's body af5ter beheading him either.
62** And speaking of adjustments, why does Lucilius have on a completely different outfit from Lucifer after being revived other than to solidify him as a reference to Voidwing Lucifer? Did Belial take the time to dress him up for the occasion?
63* Sandalphon is traveling with and familiar with Cagliostro, someone who is known for her knowledge of alchemy and can live forever by creating new bodies to transfer her soul into when she's on the verge of death. Likely knowing this about her by this point, why doesn't he ever ask Cagliostro if there is anything she can do for Lucifer? It's not like Lucifer's soul faded from existence when he died. It simply went somewhere else where he is still fully sentient and walking around. You'd think this would be something that would come up in conversation at least once, even with the possibility of the idea being shot down.
64** And speaking of that, where exactly ''did'' Lucifer go when he died? They were vague enough about it that not even he is sure where he is, but it's shown that wherever it is can be shaped by the memories of those within it. So it can't possibly be the otherworldly being realm which appears to be a black void, nor could it be the precipice between life and death, which looked more like a near barren wasteland. Do primals get their own special afterlife?
65!! FridgeHorror
66* 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?
67* In her Fate Episode, Threo mentions that when she was a kid, she played with animals, and the rabbits were ''tasty''. Vyrn immediately comes to a realization, only to be interrupted by a child's scream. Though there's a bit of fridge brillance considering she was raised in the wild, thus such a thing wouldn't be seen as abnormal to her.
68--> '''Threo:''' Wrestling with bears, getting into fights with monsters... Chasing down rabbits from sunrise to sunset... Hehe, they were so tasty.\
69'''Vyrn:''' Wait. That means after you caught the rabbits you—
70* Depending on the person, the [[IntoxicationEnsues side effects]] of the "Handsome Gorilla" supplement may vary. But all of the Harvins (and the Captain) all experienced hallucinating everyone's appearances as wild gorillas. This caused the party to attack an unlucky thug. And by the second boss battle, the Harvins ''willingly'' drank the supplement to fight the Elder Harvin who threatens to shut down their book convention. The darker side of this event is that the Grandcypher crew fought innocent civilians, mistaking them as animals due to the "Handsome Gorilla" supplement.
71** It is more implied that the boss battle was just a hyper exaggeration of a debate.
72* It's shown in "What Makes the Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost" that Sandalphon's prison is a [[https://gbf.wiki/Seraphim_Cradle Seraphim Cradle]]; when Primarchs drop them in battles and raids, there's a very good possibility people are imprisoned inside ''those'' Cradles as well.
73* 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 ''Granblue'''s Santa Claus is just an ordinary skydweller, who can fall victim to the tricks of the game's antagonists.
74* 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 four 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''.
75--> "His 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]]".
76** 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.
77* 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?
78* Raziel's powers are ridiculously overloaded for a Primarch whose job is essentially to write down things she discovers in a book, as she can transform anything she writes down into reality, including ideas, and becomes an InstantExpert to any weapon she creates using her books. She can even channel the omnipotent's power into her book, though doing so is unstable and requires her to gather power from others. Theoretically, her abilities seem like they should surpass those of the five elemental Primarchs, who seem to rely solely on raw elemental power. Why did Lucifer and Lucilius believe she needed this power?
