Additionally, this event occurs after the conclusion of What Makes the Sky Blue III: 000 and contains significant story spoilers.

The new supreme primarch is
striving to ensure peace, and meanwhile
manages a small cafe on the Grandcypher.

The archangels of instruction are
settling into the rhythms of mortal life
and preparing for a day
at the beach with friends.

The fallen angel of execution is ruminating
on the meaning of life—and shelling
box after box of peanuts.

Their tales will intertwine
at the Sky Realm's greatest
beach destination this summer.

A new rice cake? Like that thing with the soy flour and walnuts and stuff? Yeah, that thing! And, I was thinking about lots of things, and... I thought, Iss really liked pickled vegetables, right~? Wait a sec, don't talk about that time. My chest gets full of this uneasy feeling... I got lost thinking about what type of pickles, though~ Both are radishes, though... After talking to Hal and Mal, I de-eggplant-cided on eggplant! So it's eggplant... Because those two are really soft for Az. Here you go! Next time I wake up, tell me what you think, Iss! Ah, speaking of next time~ Next time on Granblue Fantasy: "THE MAYDAYS" Haa, bottoms up...

Trailer Teaser Text

This text only appears in the voiced trailer pop-up window.

Blinding white light streams from the sky,
and a vigorous breeze rustles the leaves:
it is summer.

In a tree-house sanctuary, one girl spends
day after day reading a field guide to animals.
On the ground, one man wanders day after day,
unrestricted by any existing path.

The world is on vacation, and the new supreme
primarch is ready to heat things up.

Next up in Granblue Fantasy,
The Maydays

Watch out for the big fin!

Trivia

"Mayday" is an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal in voice-procedure radio communications. It is used to signal a life-threatening emergency primarily by aviators and mariners, but in some countries local organizations such as firefighters, police forces, and transportation organizations also use the term.
The title card and guide panels resemble promotional material for the 1975 movie Jaws.
The plot of this event is a parody of American summer horror/thriller movies that depict man-eating sea creatures as the antagonist.
After completing chapter 3, the title card and event banner changes to display "The Maydays 2". After completing the ending, they change to display "The Maydays 3".
- This lampoons the tendency for sequels to be produced due to the success of previous films in a franchise.
This event contains allusions to the Sharknado franchise.
- The boss Shark Frenzy is likely inspired by the titular Sharknado.
- Shark Hunter is voiced by Kenyu Horiuchi, the official Japanese dub voice actor for Fin 'Finley' Shepard.^[2]
- Oceanographer is voiced by Yuhko Kaida, the official Japanese dub voice actor for Nova Clarke.^[2]
