団長さん…ちょっといい？ たしか…黒い甲冑とか持ってなかった？ 参考に…見せて欲しいんだけど…？ おっ、何の参考かって…？ もちろん、ポポル様の耽美モノよっ！ ポポルサーガ第2章、暗黒の取引編 …あっ、ポポルサーガを知らない…？ そう…、じゃあ簡単に説明すると… 「ポポルサーガとは史実と空想を織り交ぜた娯楽作品で作者不明の全9巻、結末にあたる10巻は原稿が失われてしまって未完の大作と呼ばれているわ、でもそれ故に様々な作家が自由に考えた結末を発表していてアマチュアも気軽に独自の派生作品を描いていい土壌が生まれたの、登場人物が男性ばかりというのもあって女性の読者が多いのも特徴のひとつ、一般的には主役のポポルと親友のマキリが”ベストカポー”(ベストカップル)と言われているわね、うはは！」 次回、グランブルーファンタジー 『ハンサム･ゴリラ』 …どう？わかった？

Captain... Do you have a minute? If I remember correctly... you have a black armor set right? Could you show it to me...for a reference? Oh, you want to know why? Of course, it's for Prince Popol's design! Chapter 2 of the Popol Saga: Dealings with Darkness. Huh? You don't know about the Popol Saga? I see... well, to sum it up briefly.... Popol Saga is a pleasurable 9-volume read weaving together history and fiction, written by an unknown author, and it is known as the unfinished masterpiece since its ending was lost along with the original manuscript of the 10th volume, but for that exact reason it became a breeding ground for all kinds of writers to write their own endings to the story, even amateurs freely write their own spinoffs to the original, and since many of the characters are male and most of the readers are female, people commonly call the protagonist Popol and his best friend Makiri "Best Couple" haha! Next time on Granblue Fantasy: "Handsome Gorilla" ...So? You got it?

Trivia

• The title of this event may be a reference to the real-life gorilla, Shabani, who currently resides at the Higashiyama Zoo in Nagoya, Japan. He gained added fame in 2015, due to being considered 'handsome', 'sexy', 'photogenic', and 'metrosexual'. His residence caused a notable increase in younger female attendance at his zoo.
