The Story Behind Belial EXPLAINED | Granblue Fantasy / GBVS Character Lore

- Alright guys!
After the hype wave for our boy Belial from the GBVS Trailer, i saw a lot of people who really liked him but weren't familiar with him as a character.
As someone who has been playing Granblue Fantasy / Granblue Fantasy versus for a long time now, i figured i'd step up and try to explain the story behind the character: Belial!
Now a fair warning for the GBF heads, as this video focuses purely on trying to explain the parts where Belial is involved in, you'll notice this is quite watered down compared to what went down in the full story. I tried to balance it as much as i could by telling the story behind Belial, but also keep spoiling minimal for those who eventually want to read up or watch the story themselves so they can still enjoy What Makes The Sky Blue when they feel like it.
I had lots of fun talking about something im passionate about, and if this video does well i'll try and make more granblue lore videos for those who want to know more behind their favorite characters that are part of Granblue Fantasy Versus / GBVS!
Are you looking forward to the granblue fantasy versus / gbvs dlc season 2 pass with Belial and Cagliostro?

Hey guys!
Today i made a video covering the story of Belial!
I saw to many people hype about my man but not sure who he exactly was, so im hoping i could inform the people to make them love & appreciate Belial and Granblue that much more!
I do want to point out that this video is something out of my comfortzone, and rather an expirement. Covering Belial was quite hard as he doesn't have a story of his own, rather a story thats stringed inbetween 3 parts of an anniversary event, meaning i had to research everything from start to finish again.
It was hard to melt down the whole WMTSB story down to just Belial,
since there is so much going on in the story. I tried to cover it in a way that it tells enough about Belial, but also would keep it as minimal as possible to all things around him as i still want people to enjoy What Makes The Sky Blue by themselves!
I still have some more Belial videos in the making which are more familiar to me, so those should turn up in your notifications soon!
If you have any feedback, then please let me know in the comments!
Stay healthy out there!
*EDIT:* It seems that vegas also made some clips come out rather disorientated. Vegas crashed on me 5x during the making of this video, so i guess that had something to do with it.
Next video wont have these issues,
i promise!
Cagliostro
Maybe more in-depth of Sariel, Beelzebub or Lucilius?
Lucifer if you hadn’t done one on him already
You forget that even Belial backstabbing Sariel could have been taking care of him all along as ripping off and assimilating Sariel's corrupted wings essentially freed Sariel from Avatar's control and also put him out of the fight making sure he wouldn't be drawn in the conflict, and even with this, none of the crew nor Sariel knows whether it was intentional or just a consequence of Belial attaining the power needed to fight the Crew + Sandalphon. Hell even Bubz himself wonders if Belial is fundamentally unable to say a truth as being a entity of lies makes up so much of his core. There is one thing that is always a truth for him though and that's his allegiance to Lucilius however.
I notice that people who are powerful or have some experience with primals usually are harassed more by belial. That is why the player and Lyria are the only other characters than Sandalphon who he talks about lewd stuff with. It's like Azreal from blazblue.
not sure why but belial started popping up everywhere on my tl! idk anything about the game so this was a great way to get to know more about him ; o ; thank you for the video
He just got released in a different form, so that is probably why he’s everywhere once more! This is definitely my worst lore video as it was my very first, but i hope it was clear enjoy / enjoyed it❤️
Thanks for watching!!
What makes Belial even scarier is due to his connection with Lucilius majority of Lucilius' knowledge is known by Belial so is his plans give him more information to use in his own cunning. This is seen when he was sealed by Cagliostro after Belial intentionally leaked a hidden Research lab so the Crew can actually seal Beelzebub for good which actually happened as per the ending of the story.
Other things to note
There are 2 Legacy Avatar and Metatron. Metatron is the perfect version of Avatar with Sentience which has no destructive urges but died because he wasn't able to awaken until he was already in Crimson Horizon and deteriorated from chaos
Belial Awakened his Demonic powers when he absorbed the Avatar's Essence that Beelzebub himself extracted when the Crew first defeated Avatar in Paradise lost by nullifying its healing abilities using Bahamut's Power of Destruction and Gran/Djeeta Shattering the main core. (Core differences of GBF Avatar and GBVS Avatar is that GBF Avatar is far larger as seen in his Archenemy animation)
It is assumed that Beelzebub might have given Belial some of Avatar's essence just like how he has Given his army Avatar's essence to make them stronger and have its own regenerative powers to regenerate from dust in exchange for being insane as Seen on Sariel.
Other than the Avatar's Essence Belial also took Sariel's wings where most of Primarchs/Angel's powers reside and add it to his own.
Belial bargained with the crew to spare Lucilius but it was booby-trapped which almost resulted in Lyria and Sandalphon getting absorbed to a Limbo
Covering Vira might be a good idea
Seeing how popular she is in GBF and how she is closely connected to Katalina and how both of them have stories about Primal Beast and Their Astral counterpart and seeing how Most of Vira's life is mostly about Katalina you'll probably even explain Katalina's lore as well and can also further explains what Astrals are after the whole Rebellion of these Fallen Angels
Very good and interesting vid, Belials lore mad deep
Thanks for watching!
I LOVED the video and felt like I understood alot!!!! Belial's loyalty surprised me!!!! Never expected it! Very nice twist!
I am so excited to watch the other videos you mentions about this event now.
I want more lore ur doing it so good!!! I would suggest maybe adding More videos or photos that help describe the scenes? I found myself looking away from the video as the fighting was so good it was distracting me 😂😂
If you would do a series explaining the story of this game with different soundtracks and for each event, I would absolutely watch them because you explained it so so good!!!
I thank you again for the effort and I'm now interested in more characters not just Belial!
Bit late of an response, but rather late then never!
Thank you yet again for watching my videos, im happy the video was able to inform you more about Belial and the story around him!
Im super happy to hear you will be waiting for my upcoming content covering these characters as i go, to touch on your feedback:
- more videos/photos: agreed! i will work on this, and will keep this in mind for my upcoming videos, this was a very good piece of advice!
-Different soundtracks: Will do! Belial was kind of hard to cover with his music, as his theme or generally the themes from this event all were vocal, i dont want to use vocal tracks as it would clash with me talking and the music in the background, i downloaded a ton of GBF music, so i should be able to mix it all up better!
-GBVS BG Video: Whilst the fighting is most definitely appealing, its probably the only type of video content i can use as the main game (GBF) Isn't all that interesting to use as background content, that said, i might try it out whilst editing and see if its atleast worth to try out! I think however, with the mix of more videos and photos added in, the fighting becomes less prominent so less distracting haha
-Series of the game: Currently im working on the series as we speak! They take abit of time to make as i don't want to spread fake info, but imo their extremely fun to make and well worth my time! This week has been a bit slow as i had a tournament for GBVS and thus was busy with practicing, but i should be able to find a way to balance my GBVS streams/competition with making these videos! : )
If you ever just feel like talking about GBF or characters, you can always feel free to stop by on my streams on twitch! This way you wont have to wait for a new video if you found a character / story you want to talk about!
Im glad to hear the other characters pulled more interest aswell, here is to hoping all the others will find your interest aswell!
Yet again thank you for taking time to watch my videos, its much appreciated!😁
Praying we get Lucilius
He’s definitely one of my most wanted characters. If they do add him, they better make him one of the best, as he has no equal!
Its LSSJ X Yeaaaaah!!!!
*G I V E P R A I S E*
@@thanthongsupawiwattakut *F O R H E H A S N O E Q U A L*
We start off with 30% health when we fight him or else it's a bust.
Wait lucifer is supreme being who serve as god? no lucifer himself works under lucillius and in charge of overseeing the evolution project hence the mortal skydwellers world. Lucifer see belial as his siblings (close as twin) and equal because they are created by the same person and at the same time. Lucifer just does not agree with lucillius existential lash out and sided with the "evolution". Even as he stop lucillius he still call lucillius his friend. Saying lucifer as god is like saying lucillius has beef with lucifer when its not that.
Maybe after he stoped lucillius he became the supreme being
No hate
@@OWO-xm1tm No. Lucifer simply works as an overseer after Lucillus' demise (mostly he just makes sure that balance between elements are maintained) to the world but far from being God. The being that they call 'God' is actually the "Broken Omnipotent" but that is a story for another time.
@@carlomolina7858 thanks for the info
Great video! I'd love to get more of these lore videos, especially on these Angel characters like Lucilius, Lucifer, and Sandy. I find them extremely interesting, but there's very little resources on the lore.
Love it, the video was really informative, if you could add on with Beelzebub's story that would be fantastic, I love GBVS but barely know anything about the story. Thanks a ton man!
Great video! I’d love to see a lore video on the Dragon Knights
Oof after Beezlebub got stabbed by Lucillius, he fought off an army alone xD. Like Bubs is OP.
Beelzebub is one of my favorites, such a cool guy. Bubs is too OP, dude wasnt even worried about getting jumped by 8 people or so😂
Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@DanchouYT He is my second favorite. First being Belial. He is super OP! Rivals Grandorder I believe. He cannot even be killed. Just disabled xD. He is just chilling. And funny that Belial wanted to smash him too because he found Bubs "cute". Oof he survived crimson horizon alone for years. XD Like oof. And ofc! Great video!
I'm glad to see Bubs get some love.
@Shock Wave I hope we get to see more bubs down the line, as i think there is so much more to get out of him still! Bubs is actually on my priority list for lore videos, so he's up next sooner or later. Beelzebub needs more love, too cool of a character to ignore. Or i guess cute if we need to believe Belial 😂
@@DanchouYT He really does need more love. Not many see him as "badass" or even a great character because he was kinda brushed off. They only recently gave him a raid but even then... he just fell from the skies. I doubt he died. He is an Astral after all. And lmao
Belial thought he was hot and wanted to take him out for a test drive. (His exact words btw.)
But I like that Bubs is an astral with astral power but ALSO power of Primal Beast. People really sleep on his power. And someone even called Bubs dumb and I was like "how"? Lol. I think Bubs is far from that. Hopefully they shine more light on him in the future!
@@LacrimosaAkimitsu Yeah, i play GBF myself and the new raid had my excited eventhough i couldnt play it yet. Im just happy they remembered him. And no, definitely think he didnt die. If my man can survive the crimson horizon by himself, i doubt he's ''out'' as of now, i really hope we get an event dedicated to him, even if its not WMTSB. He's too good and strong to just forget about, as he is probably the greatest threat to the skies as of now. (counting out some like helel..)
People who call him dumb probably have no clue or no taste. His story is good and as a character he delivers exactly the way you want him to deliver. He's one of the most interesting characters in GBF period!
I doubt we wont see belial and beelzebub sooner or later, both left off at an interesting point with lots of ways to get back in to the mix again!
Good to have Beelzebub love in my comments, as it shouid be!
Amazing video man I learned so much. I like Belial and Beelzebub even more now
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm happy i was able to inform you more about Belial, and beelzebub as a bonus!
I might even go deeper in to Beelzebub specifically next, as he has an interesting story too, If you have any character you might want me to cover,
you can always drop it in a comments and i might pick it up!
Thank you for watching!!
@@DanchouYT Haha no problem man
@@DanchouYT still waiting for bub's video :
Thank you for the lore not too many people are doing lore videos like this
No problem! I figured i could do them because of that exact reason. Granted im not experiences in making these type of videos, i’ll try to make them as clear as possible to put the lore out there.
As someone who’s passionate about GBF and fighting games, im trying to do as much as i can to put stuff like this forward so people can appreciate the characters and just generally everything GBF/GBVS more.
That said, thank you for watching and your comment! I really appreciate it!
Excellent video I was curious about the lore of Belial.
Thank you so much for your comment! im glad to hear my video was enjoyable!
Thank u bro this my favorite character. u did a good job explaining do more of belial if u can I learn more about my favorite character.
Yo!
It seems my comment i wrote earlier did not pull through for whatever reason, however:
I actually made some more content with belial! You can check out the video about his design for example, which i broke down completely!
Thank you for watching my video and for your comment!
That was a good video, thank you
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad my video was able to entertain you!
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the info👍
Lore vids are great good job
Thank you for watching! Also great profile picture 💯
:belialGasm:
I know *exactly* what emote that would be haha! :BelialGasm:
All the Primals are artificial gods governing something, but Sandalphon taking the place of Lucifer is the artificial god above the other Primarchs and whatever else is below them.
Right, i had to recheck later myself to get everything straight again as it does get somewhat vague at times, as the whole plot of wmtsb can get tricky. But your right on the money!
Thank you for watching and your comment!
@@DanchouYT No problem.
I was currently in the process of trying to make a video on a Primal in GBF due to some misconceptions said about her and ended up gathering information about the Primals. While Primals are _artificial gods_ Lucio and Shalem are true gods created by the Omnipotent One. Which makes the context or thought of Luciilius absorbing Lucio/Sahar into his Core even more terrifying. But generally, Primals are more limited than actual Gods.
(I mean ya wont see any Primal just look at the Sun and start moving it around in the air like Lucio could or Warp Reality.)
@@Flamelance_Accendo they can warp reality to some extent but not as much as an original god at least that’s what I understood from reading sandaphlon ‘s wiki
@@Flamelance_Accendo yo I have a question wasn’t Luciliues created as the astrel version of luico but he subconsciously felt difference in both their powers so he created Lucifer an entity closer to luico Am I right or wrong
@@OWO-xm1tm The only Primal that seems to imply it can warp reality is Akasha. But I don't think there really has been one that could straight up do that and even then, they'd have to be created for that specific purpose in order to do something like that. So it isn't a casual feat for a Primal to do.
i think you should do video on cagliostro story next since she is the one who seal beelzebub in wmtsb and thats lead to the main plot of Versus
Cagliostro is definitely on the list! she's on the priority list when it comes to making videos, so she will be soon to come!
Thank you for watching and your suggestion, i appreciate it a lot!
there's also the whole debacle with her gender... so yeah she'd definitely be interesting
I actually covered her 2 days ago in a video, must say i was kinda iffy about attempting it as i didn’t want to get dragged along by cancel culture.. i think i managed to avoid bringing up ‘controversial’ debates though😅
@@DanchouYT yeah i found that video RIGHT AFTER i commented lmao. and yeah, only mentioning how she came to be was prolly the right move.
also thanks for the videos. they're great refreshers to the characer lores. though i could use some getting used to some of your word pronunciations
No problem, i enjoy doing them so i should thank you for willing to watch them instead. My english is self taught, and thus also my second language. My dialect and pronunciations are probably a complete mix as my ‘english’ came to be by picking up a whole bunch of different dialects and ways of talking the language, top that off with my European accent and that probably results in pronouncing some stuff a bit odd at times.
Im trying my best, though!
thank you very much and do more videos please
Thank you for watching! Yesterday i uploaded another video about Belial and breaking down his design as a character with the lore behind it, perhaps thats an interesting watch for you too!
Ill make sure to keep the videos coming😊
What’s that background music around the beginning? Sick guitar
Belial and Beelzebub strengh in Game: "hm good fight, it was close"
Belial and Beelzebub Strengh in Canon: ".....I feelt a Gust of Wind, combined with all these little Sh*ts i am seeing i can deduce.....it was a fart"
In case you didn’t do one already can you do one about Lucifer
If you plan to the continue this, I think there should be more graphics rather than GBFV footage
Hi there!
This is definitely the best recommendation i could have received, i fully agree that the use of gameplay was too much. Luckily i caught on to this earlier, and adjusted this in my other video covering cagliostro’s lore.
Thank you for your feedback, and ofcourse for watching and commenting!
Will you able to do one on Beezlebub as well?
My plan is to cover the whole GBVS roster one at a time, as for Beelzebub, there is no definite story yet as he is still kind of up in arms as we receive information on him little by little in the game. That said, i will try and get a video done on him with the information available, and perhaps update his video once we know even more about our man bubs!
The audio is a little to low.
Thanks for the feedback! Its noted. Regardless, thank you for watching🙏
Nice
Thank you for watching and commenting!🙏
Could you make a lore video for gbfv
What song is this?
Byakuya theme, undernight inbirth !
Vira is a must in Gbv !
YES!!!! I’ve been arguing about this all day today. SHE NEEDS TO BE HERE!!
she is now
Is. That game in play store
Dont think you can make a video on Olivia and azazel
*Potential Spoilers*
I kind of funny how Billy’s plans keep backfiring on him. Keep in mind that when Luci shanked him he reduced his power by a third or greater. Billy was at fault for that because he offed Lucifer. Then when he tried to off Barry, he pulled a “I lived, bitch.” By taking the versus core from Billy. Also in his win quote versus Billy he mentions how, even at full strength, Billy would be no match for him. Billy lost any and all chances of his plans coming to fruition because he’s a dumbass and will probably be offed by his sister, Helel.
My guess is that Barry will come how free Luci from the rift and even if Billy managed to gain full power again he still have 4 beings that are above him in power, Barry, Luci, Sandy and Lucio. Even with chaos matter he has < 0 percent chance of winning. Why is this happening? Easy. He’s a dumbass. Plus he far from being the strongest Astral especially after Luci stabbed him. To be fair Luci could have killed him right then and there if he wanted to but I doubt he cared enough to finish him off.
😤👏👏👏
Thank you for watching!🙏
@@DanchouYT no problem this was a super. No fantastic video on the character. It made me really appreciate him so much more
This comment made my night! Thank you very much for the positive response, incase you are hungry for more, i made a video covering the lore behind his character design and earlier this evening a video about the character lore for Cagliostro!
Perhaps worth to check if your interested to know even more about Belial, or Cagliostro :)
Really appreciate the positivity!
@@DanchouYT oh hell yeah I hunger knowledge.
Thank you for taking your time to talk to me. I really appreciate your content. 😊
No problem at all, after all its for people like you who i do it for.
I appreciate you coming down my videos and commenting more then anything, I’ll try my best to continue to entertain with my content!
Yet again thank you for the positivity!
What game is this
thank you.
The Wiki of gbf is terrible for Lore XD
Dude. 30 seconds into this video and i can't figure out why this guy keeps mispronouncing Belial's name. Is it his accent? I am pretty sure granblue 'Belial' is the same pronunciation as the Belial of traditional 'biblical' lore. At least that is how it is pronounced IN GAME.
Strange.
Ingame it still says belial as i pronounce it. Bliblical pronunciation pronounces it as Buhlial. Other then that, i never heard the bliblical pronunciation just before this comment. English isn’t my first language, this made the most sense to me as pronunciation. Not strange, no reason to be sarcastic about it, dislike button is there for a reason if your that tight about it.
belial is prnounced different in diff languages. in mine, its exactly as the narrator says it so in fact the game ENG prn sounds wrong to me. moreover the japanese prn is beriaru which is closer to beh-li-ahl nit belayal. so since the creator isnt native he prob went off that. jeez
There all based on biblical beings i noticed.
just a reminder to all of you who stan Belial, keep in mind he’s actually a horrible person. Ok carry on
that never stopped simps & stans before tho...
Nah bro, he is literally the absolute worst type of person
I know, but sometimes anyone could hard to hate an antagonist if they already like them. And you just don't know what people interested about
@@joelhardaway1143 at least he's not a person, cause he just a fictional character that anyone can hate him or like him
