There it is. You don't talk about Krakens on a boat arc without it actually appearing.
Time to load some cursed ammo into that ballista to finish it off, I guess. Or maybe not. It fulfilled the trope by showing up, but do they really have to fight it? It's got tentacles, so as per the other tropes it could be used for fanservice purposes...
TBH my interest in this has been waning for a while, so the announcement that it's been dropped due to licensing works for me. Thanks for the TL and see you around.
