In the world of grub, the term "Gran Blue" refers to a powerful transformation form achieved by the protagonist Gran. This state, often visualized by his hair turning blue, represents a divine empowerment drawing from ancient skyfarer lore and primal beast energies. During the ancient war between skyfarers (humans navigating the skies on floating islands) and the god-like Astrals—who wielded unstoppable Primal Beasts like Bahamut—the skyfarers were on the brink of extinction. A pivotal figure named Mugen, a legendary warrior and possible "Singularity" (a rare human with transcendent potential), unlocked this "blue" mode when facing extreme threats to himself or allies. It triggered an unstoppable rampage, channeling Super Primal Astral power to turn the tide and help defeat the Astrals.In the modern story, Gran inherits this ability as the Singularity, unlocking Gran Blue through intense training with the Eternals (the ten strongest skyfarers, each tied to primal weapons). This form surpasses base primal states, granting god-like strength, enhanced swordplay, and Bahamut's chaotic energy—essentially making him a relic of that war-era power. It's not fully explained early in the main storyline but unfolds in later arcs, events, and spin-offs like grub Versus, where the blue-haired transformation appears in trailers and gameplay as a super move. The "blue" symbolizes purity, the vast skies, and primal divinity, tying into the game's themes of adventure across the endless blue expanse toward Estalucia, the Island of the Astrals.
