Previews for the August Hunter x Hunter collab have started with a look at Gon Freecss, who will be a playable character in GBF once the event starts! (as usual, the team notes that the image is a work in progress and may change before the event goes live)

“In older Cygames works we had a running joke where if you chose no in a story 4 times in a row or so, then no matter who the character was they’d say ‘but but but? Are you sure?’ I wonder how many people remember that…” -FKHR (creative director, Granblue Fantasy)

Thank you to the fighting game community for organizing these online events as part of the Arc World Tour 2025–2026, where players can compete for AWT points! We're also currently looking into ways to offer EX character colors at even more events—stay tuned! 👀 #GBVSR #AWT25_26

The next draw banner will feature rate up on selected weapons with 4 star uncaps! There will be a Star Premium draw that guarantees a weapon at 3 stars, as well as the standard bonus item and 10 roll. The banner ends on July 15th, presumably when Flash Gala starts.

The special summer menu for the Grandcypher Kitchen will feature Raziel, Eustace, Narmaya, and Elmott! Raziel’s dessert plate shows off the many enigmas of Auguste, while Eustace’s seafood curry brings down the Flamek Thunder on the summer heat.

Narmaya’s cotton candy soda calls to mind all the fun of a summer festival, while Elmott’s fiery concoction evokes the lanterns flickering in the night with its strawberry and orange mimosa.

The summer fair at the Grandcypher Kitchen lasts from July 15th through August 31st, and all reservations during that time will come with a Summer Eustace place mat.

Granblue TV Channel is about to air, and we're a week behind on coverage of Sonozaki Mie (Ilsa) so we're watching last week's episode real quick before we get to this week. This week will have Granblue TV Channel news.

Sonozaki recently attained an instructor's license for tea brewing, and Ono Yuuki is interested in improving his appreciation of the tea that he sometimes buys. They joke about what her tutelage would be like

During the 10 questions segment, Sonozaki mentions that she and Kadowaki Mai (Mahira) have talked about buying and running a vacation home, which sounds like a great place to kick back and relax.

In ten years, she hopes that people will be able to have plug in extra memory storage just like computers - though she does not volunteer to test out the technology herself.

While discussing Ilsa in today's episode, the hosts marvel that the character has 5 versions but no outfits. They ponder a Christmas outfit and think that the Erune ears would make Ilsa an excellent reindeer...

Katou Emiri ponders an Easter version of Ilsa as well, though that holiday hasn't really taken any root in Japan yet.

If Sonozaki Mie could spend a day out with her character, she would ask Ilsa to take her window shopping and cream puff tasting. Ilsa can pull off many outfits that Sonozaki can't, so she would spend a lot of time suggesting outfits for Ilsa to try on.

Lyria's Journal, July 13th 2025 Rise of the Beasts going on now, with Zhuque and Xuanwu Proud+. The new difficulty provides the materials for Zhuque and Xuanwu summons, and the uncaps also provide boosts to Chichiri and Uruki Tales of Arcarum: The Tower rerun starts July 15th

July 22nd: New Mastery Trial raid battle. While Earth element, you will be able to fight him with Wind or Fire. He provides the materials for Mariachi, Sumaibito, and Boogeyman Class Champion Weapons. Definitive Dandyism rerun starts July 22nd Grand Drang uncap also July 22nd!

Next week's guest on Granblue TV Channel will be Takanashi Kengo (Atum)!

While we were sleeping: Grand Blues! translations are now available through #2830, which was posted in May 2025.

The latest game update also made a mechanical change to reflect buffs, making them activate in order of most powerful to least powerful.

With the Hunter x Hunter collab event coming up next month, the second art preview from the GBF team shows Killua Zoldyck, who will be the second playable character from the event! As always, the art comes with a disclaimer that it is not final and could change.
