Lmao, Metera of all people calling Wilnas out for his Valentine's Day skin XD

Boy, Xander is good as Wilnas! Also if you didn't know, he's also the announcer of Smash Bros. for Wii U, 3DS and Ultimate.

Belial’s nickname for Wilnas is “Big Willy.”
Fitting. 😁

He's such a himbo. And I mean that in the best way possible. I love him.

I've said it once and I will say it twice: one detail I love about this game's interactions compared to other games, say for example League of Legends, is RESPECT. At 4:01 Wilnas had the opportunity of belittling Percival for being a puny mortal defying a god, but instead he shows curiosity and excitement. If this was in LoL he would've called him 5 slurs at minimum, like a fansub manga.

So, I'm a couple days late but I'm here to once again lore-dump. Wilnas, like Galleon, is one of the six dragons or 'wedges' that represent the primordial elements of the Sky Realm. The Wedges basically exist as part of Bahamut creating the world, perhaps unsurprising of a god of destruction, Bahamut's creation - the Sky Realm -  is incredibly shoddily made and the Six don't just represent an Element, they fully embody it's power and are direct requirements for the worlds continued existence as otherwise the elements fall out of balance and world is doomed. Even the dragons themselves acknowledge Bahamut's fix is at best, slop-shod and messy. Generally, the six work together and don't really fight one another because if they did and one of them won, it could signal one element being superior than the other and completely throw things out of whack. While they are dragons, the six can also take on guises that are more or less in line with mortals, that's why Wilnas looks the way he does -he's a standard human in appearance however he's as tall as a male Draph. The current manifestations of the six were carefully Orchestrated by the Wedge of Time and Causality - Orologia - to be far more concerned with protecting the people of the sky realm, as their duties don't strictly require it and in one simulated timeline the Six started destroying nearly everything to prove their own strength.

Personality wise, Wilnas is by far the most intelligent Himbo in existence. His knowledge of the sky realm and how it works is only matched by the six. However, in the ways of mortals, like the rest of the six he's still learning. That is partly why his humanoid form is so large, he... didn't exactly realize male humans are rarely as large as a male Draph. Wilnas, despite being the representation of fire, actually has an incredibly hard time fine tuning his heat. It's an active challenge for him to keep his flames at temperatures that are normal for mortals, because HIS normal is so hot most things turn to ash merely by being nearby. As such, his personal mortal hobby is cooking, he has to be exceptionally careful with his flames (he rarely cooks without them) because if he isn't he immediately burns whatever it is he's cooking. As a side effect, his cooking is really hit or miss. Most of the time Wamdus, the Wedge representing Water, is the only one who will always enjoy his cooking.

Thing is, for all his power - he's kind of a happy-go-lucky idiot. He's not stupid, but during the trials of the Six, when each dragon was challenging the Captain (Gran/Djeeta) Wilnas's test was a race as to who could hoe and plant the most crops by sundown. However, he straight up didn't realize that mortal bodies have limits, and while his strength and endurance are incredible, his humanoid body just couldn't keep up with the pace he was going at - meanwhile Gran, with prior experience and plenty of water breaks handily beat him despite Wilnas only nerf was him using a hoe rather than his fists.
He can sometimes really not think through his decisions and can make some reckless or silly decisions, usually when that happens Lu-Woh the Light Dragon is the one to straighten him (and any other Wedge) into place.

Wilnas does know how frail mortals are and he's genuinely impressed by them. He's impressed by the tools they make, their habits and things they do, the fact they've survived at all in the insanely dangerous world they live in. He does his best to immerse himself in everything they do, but on some level he knows deep down, that he'll never truly understand them. He exists on a level far above nearly every mortal in existence. If he's not careful he can melt people trivially in seconds. But despite this, he still yearns to learn about them - he can't help himself, he is too fascinated by them.
It also means he'll always protect them and the skies in any way he can. In a way, his love of cooking speaks a lot of his desires, cooking requires him to reduce his heat and do so instinctively. Perhaps Wilnas is trying to make sure he can't accidentally hurt the mortals he so cherishes.

...that doesn't stop him from making chocolate in nothing more than an apron and a fundoshi. Seriously, there is official art of Wilnas making chocolate with his cheeks nearly fully out. There is chocolate on HIS NEARLY BARE ABS IN OFFICIAL ART.

So Wilnas struggles with controlling his fire in cooking. Makes sense Galleon sought Vane’s help in improving his cooking.

He’s such a gigachad. Why do I like him so much

Wilnas is such a good guy. His win quotes is nice even to the villains. It feels like he may be able to change Lucilius's mind through good food, haha.

THE WAY VIKALA SAY “HELLO HELLOOO 😊“ I CANT 😭 😭 😭

Okay I don't know shit about this game but this guy is for one hundred percent: HIM

WHERE CAN I FIND A MAN LIKE THIS 😭

Metera referencing Wilnas's valentines skin from the original game was diabolical

Even as someone not familiar with Granblue, I can say for my money that Wilnas is malewife material. I mean he's encouraging, humble and he cooks, what more do you want? And he's also in competition with Belial, for Mr Fanservice in Granblue, if his valentine skin in the gacha is anything to go by.

Wilnas is like an old uncle wants you to visit his house, have some food, have some rough house play and listen his wisdom on battle.

Xander did an excellent job here as Wilnas. Also, I see you with that Blooming Villain track. Also, the fact that he’s a dragon, extra awesome points. Persona - Wilnas the Vermillion!

To compare this guy to another character, he is very Veldora-like.  I have yet to get him in the actual game, but he might just be my second favorite dragon after Wamdus.

Very jovial and fun i like him

I see you with that Persona 5 track. lol

He's such a husband
