The main stream has begun!

For health reasons, Fukuhara Tetsuya (director) will not be on the stream. KMR will be doing all the lifting for him.

Over on the Speedrun stream, Inuyama has unlocked Lyria, clearing another of the speedrun challenges!

Stream viewer rewards:

200k: 300 soul berries
400k: 10 elixirs
600k: 3k Arcapoints
800k: 1000 crystals
1m: +2000 crystals

1.2m: 5 silver centrum
1.3m: 5 gold EXP books
1.4m: 5 gold moons
1.5m: 1 damascus brick
1.8m: Mystery prize

We are already at 800k!

The first game challenge for points: the actors will be presented with situations that have happened behind the scenes in GBF. The actors will come up with stories of what must have happened, and Katou Emiri and KMR will judge them on how accurate or funny they are.

The first question: What did the designer of Tsuchinoko ask for when bringing it to the team?

Touyama: "I want it look like it's voiced by Shiraishi!" (40 points)
Tachibana: "I want it to be shedding" (40 points)
Imai: "Make it full of rupees" (60 points)

The correct answer, found by Shiraishi and Kawahara: "Give me a real Tsuchinoko"

Question 2: What was the working title for Dancing Avengers?

Previous examples of working titles:

Kappa Summer Chronicle - Kappa Festival
No Rain No Rainbow - Ladiva's House
Bzzt! Amped-up Summer - Farming Eel

Osaka: "From India with Love" (20 points)
Touyama Nao: "Bollywood Movie" (correct!)

Question 3: Years ago, on Valentine's Day, the ladies of the GBF team sent this illustration of Cagliostro to the men of the team.

On White Day, what illustration did the men of the team send back?

Shiraishi: "The Soiya squad!" (40 points)
Imai: "Ladiva" (30 points)
Tachibana: "Also Cagliostro" (40 points)
Hoshino: "Clay Golem" (50 points)
Touyama: "Young Cat" (correct!)

Technically, it was Dante, but the judges threw the actors a bone...

Question 4: On the Grandcypher 4D ride, what were the wind rabbits doing that was unexpected?

Kawahara: "They were flying" (correct!)

The wind rabbits are supposed to hop, but they were flying by flapping their ears.

Shiraishi inserts a Demon Slayer reference, hoping that they were using Lightning Breathing to move faster than the eye can see.

Touyama Nao's submission:

As the winner of the segment, Touyama Nao wins haginotsuki sweets, to fit the Home Sweet Moon event theme!

While they prep for the next segment, more prerecorded congratulations are playing - first up is Inuyama Inuko, talking about how she fell in love with playing GBF.

Up next, Eguchi Takuya (Vane).

Eguchi still remembers the day he talked to Nakamura, who told him that he cut Vane from his team. But now, in year 7, Eguchi gets lots of comments that Vane's 5* puts him on lots of teams, which makes him real happy.

M・A・O tried playing Narmaya in GBVS but finds her way too difficult to play, but is glad that she's both strong and cute

Fukuyama Jun (Feower) has finally 5* uncapped himself, and is more than a little sad that there's a 6th star to work on now.

He needs to watch what he's saying because GBF has already thrown him off of a bridge, but he's glad to be a part of the game.

As we come back from break, we're already at 1.5 million viewers for the streams, so we have earned all but the mystery prize!

Next up: the Granblue History Challenge, a quiz about 7 years of GBF.

Prizes:
20: 300k rupees
40: 100 half pots
60: 10 elixirs
80: 15 blue sky crystals
100: 50 rainbow prisms
120: 1000 crystals
140: guaranteed SSR ticket
160: 3 of each Regalia omega anima

For year 1: an overview of the first 7 months of updates.

The quiz will be - "was this in the game at launch or not?"

Question 1: "Was the Auto option in the game at launch?"

The actors answer: "No."

Correct - semi auto was added in 2015.

Question 2: "Was auto select for parties available on launch?"

The actors say: "Yes"

Correct, Auto Select has been available since launch.

Question 3: "Were trophies and titles available on launch?"

The actors: "Yes!"

Incorrect! Trophies were added in September 2014, 6 months after launch.

Over on the Speedrun Stream, the cast has unlocked Dark Fencer, so 3 of the missions are now clear!

New loot for players: 2 lineage rings!

The next challenge for 2015, the year when Kimi to Boku no Mirai marked the first character single:

3 character songs will play at the same time. Pick out all 3, and that's 30 points!

The 3 songs: Another Sky, SOIYA, and Magic Journal!

(Two of the singers are on the panel, so that helps)

All 3 are correct, so 30 points to bring us to 50!

Kawahara: "STOP PUTTING SO MUCH PRESSURE ON ME" (yelling at Imai Asami for taking the easy SOIYA answer)

The 2016 challenge: each actor must name a unique character who appeared as delusions in LETS HANG, Table for Six, or A Walk on the Wild Side.

If all 7 characters give a different right answer, that's 30 points.

Kawahara: "Vira"
Osaka: "Katalina"
Touyama: "Macho Hunter" (KMR sputters that he was expecting crew members) "Little Macho!" (the judges allow it)
Tachibana: "Lamretta"
Imai: "Sutera"
Hoshino: "Freezie"
Shiraishi: "Farrah"

With 7 unique characters, that's 30 points! 80 total.

For 2017, a Vyrn challenge!

Get a character - answer with Vyrn's nickname for them!

First up: Percival

Japanese: Tosaka no niichan ("The guy with the rooster comb")

English: Sir Burnsalot

Tachibana Rika gets it right, and gets applause from Osaka Ryota (Percival), who also got it right but was being saved for last.

Question 2: Metera!

Japanese nickname: Harenchi Nee-chan (Shameless lady)

English: Ms. Shameless

Imai Asami surprises herself by getting it right (Kawahara got it too, because he hears it so much in GBVS!)

Question 3: Lucio

Japanese nickname: "Kira kira nii-chan" (sparkling boy)

English: Sparkles

Hoshino: "Sakurai?" (incorrect but funny)

Imai Asami gets it right after a few hints, so that's 30 points!

2018's challenge is based on Handsome Gorilla.

3 of the actors have been voluntold to express an emotion using only gorilla noises. If the rest of the cast guesses correctly, that's 10 points each.

First up, Touyama Nao gives out a long "ook"

1. Ook = "I'm hungry"
2. Ook = "I'm sad"
3. Ook = "I'm moved to tears"

The actors correctly guess that it's the ook of hunger!

Next up, Imai Asami's "ook"

1. yandere ook
2. tsundere ook
3. deredere ook

The actors trust in Imai Asami's strengths and pick yandere, which is correct!

Kawahara Yoshihisa gets into character as a gorilla, beats his chest, and gives out a "OOK-SAMA"

1. Tyre's ook
2. Lowain's ook
3. Sierokarte's ook

2019's challenge: The 7 contestants must pick 7 separate evokers. They're briefly allowed to discuss who they're going to pick, without using names.

If all 7 are different, that's 30 points!

Everyone stares at Shiraishi to pick Haaselia...

Shiraishi: Haaselia
Katou: "Yeah, unsurprising"

Hoshino: Geisenborger
Imai: Katzelia (one of her 4)
Tachibana: Alanaan ("he's so strong")
Touyama: Katzelia (she crossed out Caim and Alanaan)
Osaka: Fraux
Kawahara: Estarriola

No points awarded! :(

But there's a backup game!

This time, it's the Eternals - all 7 must answer different Eternals, with the same rules as before.

Shiraishi: Niyon

Katou: "Yeah..."

Hoshino: Seofon
Imai: Seox
Tachibana: Anre
Touyama: Fif
Osaka: Feower
Kawahara: Eahta

With 7 different answers, that's 30 more points, up to 170!

2020's quiz is based on My Beloved Auguste. There are 10 sea creatures on the board. 7 are bosses or summons. There are 3 on the board that were not used as bosses or summons.

Pick all 7 correct to get 30 more points!

The Urkin, Eal, Bonito, Demonbream, etc. are all correctly picked. 30 points, and we have reached 200 points for all of the rewards!

2021's challenge is our favorite game - "What kind of weapon is this?"

3 weapons, each worth 10 points for a correct answer.

KMR brings up an old answer from a previous stream, where weapons are based on their animations and not their type.

Question 1: What kind of weapon is this cat?

The cast successfully answers "Harp" after Katou Emiri reads the flavor text at them. 10 more points!

Question 2: "What kind of weapon is this Vira fan?"

Kawahara stares at it and gets more confused the more he looks at it, especially since it's attached to his character. He remembers using it in Unite and Fight, and suggests "sword?"

Correct!

The final question: "What kind of weapon is this grilled eel skewer?"

The cast guesses "Melee?" Unfortunately, no, it's a staff!

KMR: "You hold a skewer from the center, and you wouldn't swing it - that'd just send food flying everywhere!"

With 220 points, all rewards will be given to players!

And we've reached 1.8 million stream viewers, which unlocks the Mystery Prize: 10,000 more rainbow crystals! 13,000 crystals from the quiz!

Over on the Speedrun Stream, 5 missions have been cleared, which awards players 5 more Damascus Crystals!

Time for a break after the quiz - Ise Mariya (Farrah), Chiba Shigeru (Yodarha), Toriumi Kosuke (Isaac) offer fond memories of their characters and tell the viewers to enjoy Home Sweet Moon.

Matsukaze Masaya (Cassius) also offers his congratulations.

Sonozaki Mie (Ilsa) tells the tale of how she was offered the role as Ilsa, and wonders what people think of her since she was the first choice to be a drill sergeant

Hirano Aya talks about watching Beatrix perform in 3D, then copying her moves for her own performance of Pride at the Granblue Fantasy Fes Night Party.

She talks about how exciting the script for Home Sweet Moon was for her and she wants everyone to cheer on Bea like she does

Nakai Kazuya (Eustace) talks about how Eustace, as a lover of peace and quiet, has a lot of lines that are simple sighs or just pregnant silences.

But he loves the gap that can be seen when Eustace sees a dog, and talks about how thick the Home Sweet Moon script was...

Hanazawa Kana (Zeta) talks about how it's been 6+ years of Zeta for her, and how Zeta looks so good she loves seeing Zeta in new outfits that show her off.

She's a personal fan of swimsuit Zeta, and has enjoyed seeing Zeta grow and change over all of her stories

Tachiki Fumihiko (Vaseraga) talks about how time has flown by since he first played the character in December 2014. He's a big lover of the sky, and enjoys his time with GBF.

He's impressed by how well Halloween Vaseraga rocked the jack-o-lantern look...
