This time, we'll be introducing not only the allies that appear in the anime version of Granblue, but also the enemies!
Gran, a young boy heading to Istarcia, where his father awaits
The protagonist of this work trains in the rural town of Sankt-Insel, longing for the world of the sky. He encounters a mysterious girl named Lyria who falls from the sky, and Gran nearly loses his life in the battle. However, Lyria shares her power with Gran to save him, and the two become one. Gran, unable to separate from Lyria, decides to travel with her.
Luria, the Blue-Haired Girl Who Commands the Primal Beast
The heroine of this work, a mysterious girl who was imprisoned by the Imperial Army. He is able to read the aura of primal beasts and communicate with them, which is why he is being pursued by the Imperial Army. Having been held captive for many years, he is very curious about the outside world. He has a particular weakness for food, and is a glutton that would be hard to imagine from his appearance.
Katarina, the female knight who betrayed the army to protect Lyria
A cool female knight who is more manly than any man, willing to risk anything for Lyria. She helps Lyria escape from the army and continues to watch over her closely, like a mother or older sister. While she has a strong image of a cool, feminine character, she also has some surprising aspects, such as a weakness for cute things and a poor cooking skill.
Rakam, the Helmsman of Grancypher
Rakam is a man who loves the flying ships known as "airships," used as a means of transportation in the world of Granblue Fantasy, as if they were living creatures. In episode 3, when Gran and his crew crash and destroy their ship, he lectures them on their first meeting and then leaves. He then begins his journey with Gran and his crew as the helmsman of the Gran Cypher.
Io, an ambitious 11-year-old girl
Io, a self-proclaimed full-fledged magician, hates being treated like a child. When her master suddenly disappears after acting strangely, she follows Gran and his friends to investigate, eventually forcing herself to join them. She hates being treated like a child and is desperately trying to act grown up, but when Gran, who is in a similar situation, is kind to her, she tears up, her cheeks turn red, and she shows her feminine side.
Eugen, the Skyship Brigade's father figure
Eugen, 50 years old, has known 29-year-old Rackam since they were children. Rackam calls him "Old Man Eugen." He repaired the Grancypher in the past, but currently works as a mercenary. When he sees Rakham arrive with Gran and the others, he mistakes Katarina for his wife and Gran Lyria Io for his children, giving off a hint of his old man vibe.
Age Unknown! The Mysterious Beauty Rosetta
Rosetta, a beautiful and mysterious woman, is encountered on the Lumacie Islands. She's truly a mystery! While he certainly exudes a mature air, he also acts as if he's acquainted with Gran's father, so his actual age is quite... Even Eugen, who is 50 years old, seems somewhat childish in front of Rosetta. And that's no surprise, because her true identity is...
This is the true tsundere! Sturm
A female mercenary swordsman who frequently appears before Gran and his friends. She works alongside her partner, Drunk, as the Black Knight's private soldier. Sturm's personality is "tsun tsundere"! When she gets annoyed with the elusive and playful Drunk, she pokes him with her sword. However, he always comes to Drunk's aid when he's in danger.
Captain Pommern: A Villain, But Somehow Charming
A soldier of the Erste Empire, he is obsessed with capturing Lyria. In the first episode, he is the one who summoned the Primal Beast that inflicted a grievous wound on Gran, nearly killing him.
