Granblue Fantasy: Meg & Marippe's Stunning Dress-Up Outfits Spark 'Marriage' Celebrations Among Fans

On June 30, the popular mobile and social game Granblue Fantasy introduced its newest character duo, "Meg & Marippe (Dress-Up Version)," sparking massive buzz across social media.

This newly released SSR (S Rare) character pair features the duo in special outfits reminiscent of a June bride. Meg wears a gorgeous, pure white wedding dress, while Marippe is dressed in a sleek tuxedo. Fans have showered the release with praise and congratulations, with comments like, "Marippe being the one in the tuxedo to escort Meg is pure genius," "The developers understand the fans too well," and "They finally got married!"

Marippe originally started as a minor, background NPC in past game events. Seeing her rise to become part of a top-tier SSR playable character duo—essentially achieving a "happily ever after" with Meg—has left many players deeply moved. Fans commented, "I can feel Marippe's sheer determination in making this happen," and "A huge congratulations to them both."

In addition to their stunning visuals, players are also highly anticipating their gameplay performance as a Wind-attribute character and the strength of their associated weapon in the game's current meta.

The context

Granblue Fantasy, developed by Cygames, is famous for its elaborate seasonal events and the rich development of its comedic side-characters. Meg and Marippe have a long, beloved history in the game's annual summer events. Meg, originally an ordinary girl who just wanted to enjoy a peaceful summer vacation, constantly found her holidays ruined by bizarre crises and giant sharks, eventually forcing her to become a powerful, battle-hardened warrior. Marippe, her best friend, supported Meg with an almost obsessive, fiercely loyal dedication. Over the years, their bond has grown into one of the most popular dynamics in the game, making this quasi-wedding debut a dream come true for the community.

Tragedy on Miyajima: 1,200-Year-Old 'Eternal Flame' Hall at Mt. Misen Destroyed by Fire

On the morning of May 20, 2026, a fire broke out near the summit of Mt. Misen on Miyajima Island in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture—a site recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage island. The blaze completely destroyed the "Reikado Hall" of Daishoin Temple, which enshrines the "Eternal Flame" (Kiezu-no-hi), a sacred fire associated with the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi (Kukai). Despite a large-scale emergency response involving eight fire engines and helicopters, which succeeded in bringing the fire under control by 10:35 AM that day, the loss of the historic building has left the public in shock. Reikado Hall is a vital cultural structure that serves as the repository for the "Eternal Flame," which is said to have burned continuously for approximately 1,200 years since Kukai first lit it during his ascetic training. This fire is also significant for being one of the source flames for the "Flame of Peace" in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, holdin...
