Ep 7. The Iron Giant

As the seventh episode of GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation season 1, "The Iron Giant" sees the main characters landing on a small island to fix the Grandcypher's engine. The episode follows on from the previous one, where Katalina had been severely wounded and needed urgent medical attention.

After landing on the island, the crew starts working on the engine while waiting for Katalina to wake up. But things take a turn for the worse when they hear strange noises coming from the nearby forest. Initially thinking it to be a monster, they soon realize that it's something much more significant and sinister.

As the name suggests, the episode revolves around a giant machine that has been stranded on the island for years. The machine has been rampaging through the forest, destroying everything in its path. This has scared away the local villagers and creatures who have made their homes on the island.

The crew tries to stop the machine and protect the innocent creatures and villagers. Their initial efforts prove to be futile, and they soon realize that their best chance of defeating it is by taking it head-on. However, the team is reluctant to engage in a battle with the massive machine, considering its size and power.

To make things even more challenging, the team discovers that there is a sorcerer behind the machine, controlling it remotely. This means that taking down the machine will not be enough, as the sorcerer will continue to control it if allowed to live. They must find the sorcerer and defeat him before he can escape or cause even more destruction.

Throughout the episode, the team works together to take down the machine and the sorcerer behind it. They use their unique abilities and equipment, including Lyria's healing powers, Io's lightning magic, and Rackam's artillery. The battles are full of action and suspense, as the team tries to find weak points on the machine while dodging its deadly attacks.

The crew faces several challenges along the way, including injuries, fatigue, and deception. However, they work through these challenges together and ultimately emerge victorious.

"The Iron Giant" is an action-packed episode of GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation that showcases the characters' abilities and teamwork. While the episode's focus is on the giant machine and the sorcerer, it also touches on important themes such as conservation and empathy towards nature and animals. The episode is a must-watch for fans of the anime and those who enjoy action-packed scenes with a touch of mystery.
