Best thing about this crossover are all the memes

Wonder if any memes popped up involving Pizza Hut considering the Geass crew open up a Pizza restaurant.

Character.

I got like nine Alex's as a summon via gacha. It's my most common SSR Gacha Summon.

I may be late, but I have been catching up with the Main Story Chapters now to add some more damn tropes. But ho boy, Ares appearing in the latest story chapters adds a lot of speculation and digging past events for some hidden tidbits and possible foreshadowing. And thank you Granblue Fantasy Versus closed beta test period for spoiling things! Here be some spoilered stuff:

  • Is Ares also voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro? If that's the case, I think her voice was modified and was asked to speak in a mellow, "emotionless" voice. We do have a trope where two characters are intentionally voiced by one person because of lore connections.
  • The redditors also have some interesting stuff about Ares as discussed here. Or to be specific with the most-upvoted comments:
    • Katalina's surname as Aryze foreshadows her connection to Ares. Damn Cygames puns working again?
    • This line of dialogue in Paradise Lost calls Katalina as the war goddess of legend. Ares is mentioned in Chapter 125 to be the primal beast that governs war.
    • Some say she is Katalina's ancestor.
    • Some say she is a time-displaced alternate self of Katalina, considering Mika and Shitori also got time-displaced after staying in the Edgelands. One redditor even noted that this situation would make Ares the Hakumen of Katalina's Jin Kisaragi comparison from BlazBlue.
    • Like Lucifer was created by the Astral Lucilius, maybe Katalina is the Skyfarer counterpart of the Astral Ares.

Even though these would count as Foreshadowing, I'm not gonna add these spoilered stuff yet until the plot progresses further to elaborate more on it.

Finally! Chapter 126 reveals that Vyrn is indeed connected to Bahamut... At least somehow. All of the foreshadowed hints are actually intended. And a lot of fans already agreed that they know "Vyrn is Bahamut", yet Cygames is just scattering a lot of hints for a fact that veterans already knew, and it's no longer such a major spoiler. I might actually add this compiled stuff and reword them a bit in Vyrn's character folder now.

Yeah Aryze = Ares was one of the most mindblowing hints

also still think this Luminiera flashback from SSR Dark!Vira was foreshadowing Ares by having an Astral commander who looks like Katalina show up because it's like poetic or smth to have an Astral Katalina and Vira parallel

???: My knight...
Vira: ...! Katalina! (Impossible... What's she doing here in the midst of the War?)
???: Huh? Can you hear me, astral knight?
Vira: Yes...
???: I see that you were counting the comrades we've lost.
Vira: Huh?
???: The situation does indeed grow worse with each passing hour. But even so, as your commander, I cannot order you to pull back. Your ability to use Luminiera's power as your own makes you invaluable on the front lines. I know it's tough, but I need you to hold out a bit longer.
Vira: ... (This memory must belong to Luminiera's previous master. But I'm seeing it as my dream, which is why people like Katalina are showing up. Still, this rush of excitement that fills my chest... It's the same feeling I get when thinking about Katalina. Could it be that the keeper of these memories bore similar feelings towards a commanding officer?)

I've also went searching for the GBVS vids and found out Ares' shield has flowers in it? I mean, what could it possibly signify for such a being named "Ares", from the Greek God of War?

Azrael and Israfel are still in the potato sack but they dressed it up to look like a dolphin for summer alkdfalheilehaweiufhlawehliuwabf

At least one of these swimsuit Primarchs is probably gonna be a summon like Macula but no clue which.

I'm just wondering if the rumors are leading this to be some sort of Jaws parody.

The event preview's up in-game.

Sandalphon's shown to have a sprite for his barista costume, Cygames really is milking Suzumura for every possible purchasable Sandalphon skin.

If they release summer Hal Mal as a summon for legfest....

I may end up using some of my draws...especially if it's not a summon but actual playables

I have a spark ready now. My main target with it is Grand Ferry. But if Hal and Mal would indeed be on the gacha and during a Legfest? Boy, it would be a win-win situation for me.

ooooohhhhh so apparently Cygames hired the Sharknado JP dub actors for the new characters in the new event, which clinches it as an actual goddamn legit parody of Sharknado.

Now I want to see what the Japanese version of Sharknado is like.

It really does read like a Jawsnado parody.

The fact Lucio got pooped out and he hints Belial wanted Sariel to break his limiter and become more intelligent is great.

Not even done yet but its fantastic.

So I skimmed through the event's reddit discussion and all they said is that Cygames is aware of the memes and Fan Nicknames now? This means we get more Ascended Meme examples, right?

Also Sandy going Samuel L. Jackson with the "I've had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane" reference.

Tan Lucio!!!!

Currently stuck between wanting him to just be a skin because having his summer version be better than the Grand version would be incredibly sad and wanting him to be a new unit because I'd spark him in a heartbeat and don't really want to go down the rabbit hole of buying costumes.

My biggest impression so far is that Cygames has finally come up with a summer event more batshit than anything from FGO.

This event really should've been called What Makes the Sky Blue (Shark) IV

Well that was a rollercoaster. Going with an actual Sharknado was a left-field choice that shouldn't really be that surprising. I really hope Sariel with Bruce becomes a summon or summer character.

This event makes the WMTSB III epilogue a lot less awkward in its seeming rush to wrap things up now that Sariel's actively looking to find Belial and get answers from him, Az/Iss' recovery is explained to not be instantaneous, and Lucio FINALLY getting more prominence in events.

Loved how Lucio's just been trolling his way through the event.

Super curious who did the shark victim voices since it's so jarring but fitting.

This event is gonna be very hard to top in all aspects, especially with all the little details like Poopie, shark mutations, bean cakes, and some really well handled character moments.
