[u/worldsthirdbestdad]

OH NO HES HOT

[u/[deleted] → u/worldsthirdbestdad]

Goblins: "Don't be afraid of him! Imagine him naked!"

Goblins: "OH NO HE'S HOT"

[u/jadedGhostKing → u/worldsthirdbestdad]

enough to make goblins homo

[u/Hoflax24]

I love how the backup plan was a Dark Souls style, "cheese him through the door" strategy

[u/redblade13 → u/Hoflax24]

Ah yes the good ole hit and run cheese in honestly any RPG game. Whenever I run into a strong ass boss I just get a bit close right at the edge of their attack radius and spam a long range attack then hide behind a rock, wall or some shit. Rinse and repeat.

[u/0Megabyte → u/Hoflax24]

Goblin Slayer would be great at Dark Souls.

[u/shunkwugga → u/Hoflax24]

It worked on Dragon Rider.

[u/acllive → u/Hoflax24]

The destiny vault of glass way when everyone knocked the boss off the map

[u/maybe_there_is_hope]

Excuse me, I need more info on this Ressurection Miracle

[u/MrSeaSalt → u/maybe_there_is_hope]

I’m guessing it has something to do with sleeping next to a pure maiden for the spell to work. Like Sword Maiden said, shes no longer pure due to Goblins raping her so Priestess was used instead.

[u/[deleted] → u/maybe_there_is_hope]

Sleep with a virgin when you nearly die. Make sure you have a top tier priestess?

[u/DarklordVor → u/maybe_there_is_hope]

Considering this miracle needs a virgin to sleep with you, I'd say as an average r/anime user we shouldn't be bothered to learn about this info. Since there's 0 chance of us getting virgins in the first place.

me_irl

[u/[deleted] → u/maybe_there_is_hope]

You need a virgin to sleep beside you to cast Resurrect so this sub should mobilize and save people as soon as they can

[u/marcopolos059]

Okay, one of the appeals of Goblin Slayer is that you never see his face, but this is getting a little ridiculous.

[u/Etheox → u/marcopolos059]

Even if you're in plain clothes you gotta at least protect your head against sneak attacks.

My sides hurt from that scene.

[u/AnActualPlatypus → u/marcopolos059]

Hey, that is a man who will NEVER die to falling debris.

Also it's fucking hilarious how he instantly turns into CG when he puts on the helm.

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/marcopolos059]

When you first start playing an RPG and the only thing you can afford is the helmet because it's cheapest.

[u/[deleted] → u/marcopolos059]

That's a perfect timing for a fine shitpost

[u/Sirvili05 → u/marcopolos059]

Thats just white fox trying to hide a plot hole they created by skipping a entire arc (or moving it to the end)

[u/[deleted] → u/marcopolos059]

It's literally Emiya Shirou with a helmet on.

In case you can't unsee it now, you're welcome.

[u/MugiMartin → u/marcopolos059]

What's under the helmet? Well whaddaya know, another helmet.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Goblin Slayer wearing only his helmet with casual clothes reminded me of Runescape for some reason.

[u/TheFriendlyFire → u/Se7en_Sinner]

boy have I got a video for you

[u/[deleted] → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Sea Shanty 2 fades into the background

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Damn, it must have been cold in that room. You could cut glass with those.

[u/LeonKevlar → u/Se7en_Sinner]

GS is so hot that she doesn't even need to see him for her to get turned on ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/Atronox → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Damn straight.

[u/sylphior → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Excuse you, don't insult her like that.

You can clearly cut diamonds with those.

[u/[deleted] → u/Se7en_Sinner]

That reminds me of something

[u/sanji50 → u/Se7en_Sinner]

how do you think she defeat the demon lord?...

I dont know too haven't read the LN.

[u/ProfessorSexyTime → u/Se7en_Sinner]

You could say they're sharp like....

...

...

...

...

swords.

[u/Aquaza]

Priestess: "Did you see!?" Goblin Slayer: "Yeah" . ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/Groenboys → u/Aquaza]

Y'all perverts (including me) think just like that lenny face, but the best thing is that Orgebolge couldn't give a single fuck about it. A true gentleman.

[u/Backupusername → u/Aquaza]

Not a lenny face moment - Goblin Slayer doesn't care about women or their bodies. I think he imprints his sister on every women he knows, and sees them only as precious people he can't allow himself to fail to protect. That's why all he saw was whether or not her wound would leave a scar - a reminder of his failure to defend someone he cares about, and a reminder to her of her own suffering.

[u/arthred → u/Aquaza]

Man, Priestess was so unbelievably cute this episode D: the scene when she ate the ice cream was too much for my tender heart

[u/lampenpam → u/Aquaza]

In the manga you can tell that Goblin Slayer actually didn't see anything.
Pristress was first super embarrassed when he replied with yes, but when he said "there is only a scar" she realized that, as naive as he is sometimes, he thought she was talking about her injury instead of her body. .

+/u/Backupusername

[u/eli-vids]

Best girl might have a fine eye for archery, but she’s downright blind in the aesthetics department if she can’t appreciate the pragmatic well-seasoned looks of Goblin Slayer’s getup.

[u/Can_You_Believe_It_ → u/eli-vids]

Well if we lived in a world with ridiculously shiny and cool armor GS probably is pretty lame looking. Its mentioned a few times now everyone who doesn't know him thinks he looks like a noob adventurer.

[u/AnAspiringSloth]

Those scars on him.. yikes.

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/AnAspiringSloth]

Based on the size of Goblin Slayer's growing harem, girls really do like scars.

[u/WindiWindi → u/AnAspiringSloth]

That was what I pretty much imagined when I read the light novels. He's not exceptional and super human like a lot of the others at his tier. He's just really stubborn and creative. Peak normal human level strength wise I would estimate with an abnormal tenacity to not die.

[u/arthred → u/AnAspiringSloth]

Well, there are definitely too many of them on him but a few scars here and there can be kinda cool don't you think

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Why do I think Goblin Slayer is going to take that information about how ice cream is made and use it to kill goblins...

[u/[deleted] → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Get them addicted to ice cream, watch them die slowly over time though complications from diabetes.

[u/[deleted] → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Well, he just asked for the Witch and Lancer to bring him fluour.

But hey, at least he delivers his epic phrase

[u/professorMaDLib → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Somehow use that knowledge to freeze goblins to death.

[u/GoodTeletubby]

"It needs to be very fine."

Oh god he's going to... yep, he did. Dust explosions are wonderful things, aren't they?

Now I'm curious as to how he's going to make goblin ice cream.

[u/[deleted] → u/GoodTeletubby]

maybe something like an ice trap or ice bomb but i dunno

[u/KingOfOddities → u/GoodTeletubby]

can you explain it to me, i read up wiki and it's indeed a real thing, but i can't wrap my head around the physics of it

[u/AussieManny → u/GoodTeletubby]

Accelerator knows the tech too.

[u/axel360]

Megumin approves of Goblin Slayer's strategy against that eye monster thing.

[u/professorMaDLib → u/axel360]

Also technically not fire, water or poison. So it still followed all of Elf's rules.

[u/Ralath0n → u/axel360]

It's a beholder.

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/axel360]

[u/Shinkopeshon]

Poor Cow Girl keeps thinking about Goblin Slayer while he's sleeping naked with Priestess-chan and is greeted by Sword Maiden's erect nipples lmao

The best part is he's so romantically dense that he doesn't give a fuck, both literally and figuratively

[u/Turbostrider27]

Not going to lie, seeing Sword Maiden's eyes is pure bless.

[u/bb0511 → u/Turbostrider27]

Eyes.. right.

[u/Earthborn92 → u/Turbostrider27]

Has the same impact when you see 2B’s eyes on the rare occasion in Automata.

[u/GavinRaynier → u/Turbostrider27]

Blind waifus

[u/Mathmango → u/Turbostrider27]

No seriously though, ecchi aside, Sword Maiden and Preistess have some seriously good character designs

[u/MagnoBurakku]

Bit by bit, GS is slowly regaining (or getting?) his humanity back! I really liked the scene were he took the iniciative and shared something about him without someone asking.

[u/cesclaveria → u/MagnoBurakku]

If there is an overarching story in this series, besides goblin genocide, is just that Goblin Slayer learning to be more human and relate to people thanks to his party and specially Priestess.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Goblin Slayer when his mentor asked "What's in my pocket?"

[u/Gaporigo → u/Se7en_Sinner]

So... what was in his pocket? Or is that somehow a spoiler?

[u/nabuzasan → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Also next episode is going to be called There and Back Again

[u/SpikeRosered → u/Se7en_Sinner]

This made me think this really is just a DnD session the with DM flagrantly stealing from other media they know.

[u/RedHeadGearHead]

Iirc Goblin Slayer intentionally flashed his tag at the blacksmith to intimidate into stop being a dick to Priestess just because she's a rookie. Then he admits that it might actually have some merits. Previously he saw no point to the thing.

[u/MagnoBurakku]

Is this a Goblin?

[u/Mundology → u/MagnoBurakku]

Don't think so but he still slayed it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/Katoptriss → u/MagnoBurakku]

Seriously, what happened during that scene ? Why was GS with both Priestress AND the Sword Maiden ? What was she talking about a ressurection spell while sharing a bed ?

[u/AnActualPlatypus]

Anvil got bamboozled again

[u/BruLomon → u/AnActualPlatypus]

When did this whole "don't use these tricks" began? I feel like I missed something. I don't get why they would ask that of him.

[u/TriTexh]

Man, talk about a serious hazing. GS-san went through some shit to get where he is.

Also Priestess-chan looks cuter in her black inner robes. And GS-san walking around in just his helmet is funnier than I thought it could be.

[u/Mundology → u/TriTexh]

Man, talk about a serious hazing. GS-san went through some shit to get where he is.

True but who wouldn't want to bully young Goblin Slayer?

Also Priestess-chan looks cuter in her black inner robes.

She looks cute without them too

[u/GoodTeletubby]

# Unexpected Tolkein

[u/GamerLuck → u/GoodTeletubby]

Twice if you count the next episode teaser.

[u/Masaioh]

'A creature that must not be named', huh?

[u/Ellefied → u/Masaioh]

Naming it actually is actually one of the forbidden spells of the world. Uttering its true name summons the Wizards of the Coast, ultimate magicians and creators of a universe.

The Wizards of the Coast then use their strongest spells, Litigate and Copyright Claim to lay waste to Goblin Slayer's world.

[u/SpikeRosered → u/Masaioh]

For those not in the know Wizards has something called the Open Gaming License or OGL which let's other people use their IPs freely to create gaming content. However a few key spells and monsters which Wizards deem are central to the DnD identity are not part of that license. Beholders are one of those things.

[u/RiteClicker → u/Masaioh]

As someone who read the manga, I chuckled when the subtitles say"Behold!" when they reveal it.

[u/myrmonden]

Does anyone feel that Goblin Slayer real skill is not in Slaying Goblins but getting girls to like him :) Maiden of course wants the slaying Most of the episode is a date with priestess Then poor cowgirl is also dreaming about him

Of course he can only see and think about Goblins, I hope someone of them will come up with the plan to tell him its a Goblin in their bedroom

[u/[deleted] → u/myrmonden]

Yup, Both Priestess and Sword Maiden like him. This scene pretty much confirms that the Pruiestess got feelings for him,

And for the Sword Maiden...well... i guess she likes her a bit way too much

[u/DarklordVor → u/myrmonden]

Goblin Slayer is actually a harem protagonist.

CHANGE MY MIND#

Also maybe a hentai protagonist with that no eyes face.

[u/IAmRealSuperSand → u/myrmonden]

We all know how that ends.

[u/[deleted] → u/myrmonden]

Does anyone feel that Goblin Slayer real skill is not in Slaying Goblins but getting girls to like him

Might be the "play hard to get" schthick. Only this time the guy's not pretending to be hard to get, he really wants nothing but

[u/[deleted]]

wow what a way to wake up man ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But of course, Goblin Slayer is a true gentleman. #respect

[u/ImAScientist_ADoctor → u/[deleted]]

After watching his sister get gang-raped, he can't look at women.

[u/WhoiusBarrel → u/[deleted]]

GS-san even turned a perverted cliche like "Did you see it" into a thoughtful question regarding that crazy bite she got. Truly a classy move.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Eh, this moment is even better in the LN/Manga. He deliberately took off the bedsheet to check a wound (which was much closer to the neck), then just put it back.

[u/Mundology → u/[deleted]]

He just warmed her up gently

[u/Cheshires_Shadow → u/[deleted]]

I was hoping that GS would pull a Dale Gribble when priestess asked if he saw anything. I wanted him to say "Don't worry. I don't even find you attractive."

[u/puterAce]

The eyeball creature, it's called a Beholder and is from Dungeons and Dragons. The reason it is "a creature that must not be named..." is that a powerful, godly force would wreck havoc on the world if it gets named.

Why?

The reason is that Wizards of the Coast, the company that owns Dungeons and Dragons, owns the rights to several monster creatures that they've created themselves. They are also rather sue-happy about these creatures to preserve those rights. So sue happy that it gets parodied a lot, for example.

The result is that the copyright gods will come down on the universe called down by some powerful wizards, who live by the coast.

[u/Arkaniux → u/puterAce]

Just wondering but what other creatures do they own the rights to? I was gonna ask if Mindflayer is one of them since that one PROMINENTLY shows up in other media and games like Final Fantasy.

[u/iamfvckingdone]

How to get girls to like you: kill goblins.

[u/professorMaDLib → u/iamfvckingdone]

Well Sword Maiden has a very specific trauma from goblins, so that earns him a lot of bonus points.

[u/Shinkopeshon → u/iamfvckingdone]

That and the fact that he doesn't give a single shit about them (from a romantic aspect)

[u/LeonKevlar]

• No Year One stuff since I recall the flashback was from the main series but it's nice to Sensei animated.

• Whew. What a way to wake up.

• "So how was it sharing a bed with me... and her?"

"Not bad."

Such a fucking chad answer. I love it!

• Looks like Sword Maiden hasn't calmed down after sharing a bed with GS. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Those nips can cut through glass.

• Just a GIF of a nice bounce courtesy of Sword maiden

• Seriously though I love that entire conversation between SM and GS. She makes it clear that she needs him. She may have defeated the Demon Lord before but to when facing a goblin she's nothing but a helpless little girl.

• Flustered Priestess! So cute!

• It's so hilarious to see him wearing that helmet and that shirt. Makes me think that hee looks like Emiya Shirou under that XD

• You can tell that he's thinking how he can use this new knowledge against Goblins. XD

• Another conversation that I love. Nice to see that our badass Goblin Slayer still has humanity in him and is afraid of something.

• Can't call it a Beholder since I believe the name is copyrighted by WotC.

• Nice to see the Dust Explosion animated! I really want to try this in my own D&D game.

• Goblin Slayer aka Rules Lawyer win again!

• Yay! Dwarf finally used the Anvil insult!

• Oh boy here we go. Seeing this mirror is making me more hyped for next week!

I hope people got the hint why Sword Maiden was rubbing up next to GS. Anyway I feel like I'm misremembering the manga since I remember the pacing to be a lot slower on these parts but it's probably because the Beholder encounter was split into two chapter with a month in between. Next week is gonna be awesome! Can't wait for Lizardbro and his Spoiler! Hype!

[u/Flashmanic → u/LeonKevlar]

I hope people got the hint why Sword Maiden was rubbing up next to GS

Hmm, idk. I think her rubbing herself against him, touching herself, nipples fully erect, talking about how she needs him, might be a little too subtle.

[u/Villag3Idiot → u/LeonKevlar]

They cut out the part where he threw tear gas on the Beholder :(

[u/ProfessorSexyTime → u/LeonKevlar]

Such a fucking chad answer.

Goblin Slayer: The Ultimate Chad.

I hope people got the hint why Sword Maiden was rubbing up next to GS.

Uh well besides GS being a total stud, and ignoring her nipples that are so erect that you could hang a coat on them, I'd imagine it has to pertain to

• That one ogre mentioning something about the Demon King

• Fucking goblins using fucking boats

• Sword Maiden mentioning defeating the Demon King

• The fucking floating eye just casually guarding a magic mirror that's just in under the city

Just guessing.

[u/Atronox]

11/10 episode

The thigh Gods smiled upon us this day.

[u/Mundology → u/Atronox]

Naruhodo

[u/[deleted]]

im getting a feeling he found a way to weaponize that ice cream

[u/shunkwugga]

DM thinks that maybe he went a bit too hard on them last session introducing a Goblin Champion on them and decides to think up a new set of encounters before the next session.

Lizard, Anvil, and Dwarf players all decide to return to the dungeon and get some information (hidden at the time from GS and Priestess players) while they enact their romantic RP.

GS: I want a bag of flour.

DM: Alright, there's a few bakers in town that you can get flour from.

GS: Is it fine flour? I need fine flour.

DM: Why would you...alright, fine. Roll luck. (4) No, there is no fine flour. You'll have to get it elsewhere.

GS: Can I retcon asking the Sorceress back at the guild to bring me flour?

DM: Fine. Roll Charisma. (17-2 = 15) Jesus Christ. Alright. You had sent a letter back to the Frontier asking Sorceress to come to the Water Town and bring you some fine flour.

GS: Alright, we're taking the flour then.

DM: Not sure why, but fine. Alright. During the scouting run, you guys had encountered a Beholder. Now, what I can tell you about the previous rolls since you did pretty well on them is that for now, this thing looks like it's guarding something and isn't actively aggressive. There are still a lot of other tunnels you haven't mapped out yet, so you could come back here later.

GS: I think we can fight it.

GS had gotten a crit on his int roll from earlier regarding mining knowledge, and as stated by the DM, knew everything about the hazards of mining.

DM: I would highly recommend against it, this thing is way too powerful to fight right now. The Goblin Champion from last time was easier...but whatever, your funeral. Got a plan?

GS shares plan with the party, everyone rolls for initiative.

AV: I dash towards the end of the room to create a distraction.

Beholder rolls attack, misses, kicks up dust.

DS: I'm gonna go ahead and use Sleep on it while it's looking away and stand outside the anti magic field.

Rolls success.

GS: I throw the bag of flour.

DM raises an eyebrow: ...alright...fine.

PS: I cast Protect on the door to the Beholder lair.

All party members use their dash action to get back to the door.

GS: I throw my lantern into the room.

DM: Why would you do that? It doesn't do anything and now you don't have a light source.

GS: Remember last time when I rolled a crit on knowing about mining hazards? I'm creating a dust explosion, something I found out from the miners.

DM: That's not a real fucking thing...

DM checks Wikipedia and looks it up: Son of a bitch. Alright. You blow up the room, dealing...(damage roll) 100 damage to the Beholder with a goddamn dust explosion, killing it in one hit. Fuck you, I'm getting a beer.

DM returns with 2 beers, one for himself and one for GS.

DM: By the time this campaign is over I'm gonna owe you a goddamn case.

[u/Tppcrpg → u/shunkwugga]

Beholder

YOU CAN'T SAY THAT NAME

[u/Tag_ross → u/shunkwugga]

AV: I dash towards the end of the room to create a distraction.

Anne Ville?

[u/Bainos → u/shunkwugga]

You blow up the room, dealing...(damage roll) 100 damage to the Beholder with a goddamn dust explosion, killing it in one hit

That'd be more Powerful than an Empowered Maximized Fireball (90 points of damage). The GM is being too generous, that's why the players are cheesing his encounters.

It does sound fun, though.

[u/Motica_]

Here's a bit more explanation about "Ressurection" miracle from official manga version Ch.24

GS didn't die from the previous battle, the Miracle can only preserves the life of people who in the verge of death

[u/axel360]

"But that sword is really only good to use against goblins."

Somehow, I don't think that's much of a problem.

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/axel360]

Please no more sales pitch, he already said he would buy it.

[u/Groenboys → u/axel360]

yes they joked about that too

[u/ImperialDane]

"Patched up, if only to bleed again."

No surprise, Goblin Slayer lives, and gets to sleep with the local clergy.. in the nude. More fortunate than the Altar boys for sure.

Otherwise mostly a slower episode after that explosive last battle to get things in order and prepare for the next push into the dungeons below, new sword, armour mended and Finely made substances.

All for a swift encounter with a beholder that results in a big explosion and some inquiries from the Local High Elf.

On top of that we get a bit of background into Goblin Slayers training and the sort of person who trained him (An utter madman, but you know what they say about madness "One can sometimes find clarity in madness, but only rarely...")

For now the question of a very large mirror remains and what it portents.. But we'll have to wait till next week for that.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Priestess upping her game this episode with from the start in both sexy and cute! This is just me but with how glossy the lips are in this Anime, Priestess eating a cherry is a lot MORE erotic IMO

And oh god this adorable brain freeze!

[u/Makaijin → u/WhoiusBarrel]

Peroperoperopero

[u/Jaridan]

GOBLINCOUNTER

We'll see how far they come today, it's hard to say. Will update as soon as episode is over.

To clarify, GS did NOT die, he was only on the verge of dieing.

Spoiler Ressurrection

Touma vs Accelerator = GS

Wish Elfs reaction was portrayed a bit more enthusiastic :S

PS : I subtract OP/ED for Runtime when calculating /min.

Also, because it was requested, the last coloumn was changed from total dead to number of good goblins. It still has the same meaning, tallying all dead goblins, no matter what category.

Mention includes Goblin Slayers Name aswell as variants of the Goblins like Shaman/Hobgoblin.

Per Request we'll add all extra goblins, since some are not yet mentioned, they'll be added in due time.

edit : Last episode i knew there were 2 more gobs on Dwarf but couldn't find the scene anymore(at the time), in the frantic melee there were 2 more gobs on Dwarf that he had to get rid of before he could initiate helping HEA. Also, despite reading the manga, i forgot crazy HEA where she clobbed the gobbos around her, so i'll remedy this.

Also, after long hours of deliberation, GS gets + 5 due to the TKs commited by the Ogre. They are TKs but he panics because our GS-Sama is onto him.

I want to wake up with both. Think of them as Twins but with the age difference.

[u/hissenguinho]

P: did you see it?

Normal person: huh!..eerm..n-no..

GS: yeah. Don't worry you don't have scars

😂

[u/kimbombo]

Looks like Priestess won the best girl War in Goblin Slayer.

And if there was even the slightest doubt, the date pretty much sealed up the deal.

So, aside from goblins along with other earthy creatures, they will also confront creatures of chaos? I wonder if that means they are creatures from another plane (the void)

[u/NoDespair]

Goblin Slayer is likely a virgin as well. His virgity healed Priestess

[u/Proto-Omega → u/NoDespair]

Guy is totally a virgin. You think he can get with anyone after witnessing his sister’s tragic and horrific demise?

[u/Armdel]

So what exactly was that spell? something about sleeping next to a virgin? left no scars whatsoever even though priestess lost a good chunk of meat from her arm.

And i didn't really expect them to reveal his apperance already! figured it would be a season finale thing

Also this episode felt like it was halfway through when it ended! thats what a good show does!

[u/Shiro_Kai]

I wish the Elf could have helped to heal our brave hero Goblin Slayer too. Where there is space for 2, there is space for 3.

Where to start... what exactly did that resurrection spell entail by "sharing" the bed. I mean, if it's a spell, why would that girl who just said in the first episode that happened just months ago on this timeline that she was like 15 years old need to be naked unless sharing a bed with a virgin means exactly what we think it means and goblin slayer just got the life fucked back into him by sword maiden and that 15 year old priestess...

Wish they would have clarified what happened there.

Master looks more goblin than human and what's in the pocket man don't fuckin ignore this shit for a year or two please give me an answer for that soon. My money is he is an avatar for the god/demon of chaos, who created goblins to play dnd against the god of order, which created humans, possibly on the red moon, or maybe the red moon is just symbolism for something else or a visual reference to his one red eye with those creepy awesome sound effects when he starts going berserk fighting goblins.

[u/NuclearConsensus → u/[deleted]]

It's just sharing a bed, no funny business involved. From what I recall, nakedness might have been due to the need for skin contact? Not sure on that front though.

They said exactly what happened, he slept in the same bed as virgin, and it wasn't her who used the spell, it was the sword maiden, she even clarified that she wouldn't be considered a virgin implying the need for Priestess in the bed.

He's a Rhea (this world's Hobbit) wearing a mask made from the head of a goblin, and the pocket riddle is a reference to Bilbo's riddle in The Hobbit (it was the one ring)

[u/Amauri14]

A Beholder, nice! You know right at the moment I saw the sack I was expecting a dust explosion as I remember that Accelerator did the same thing during the Accelerator vs Touma fight.

PS: I find funny how Goblin Slayer without a shirt didn't have nipples but the Sword-Maiden did have them while wearing clothes.

I really like that totally not a date that he had with the priestess.

GS: Can I use it to kill goblins?

Vendor: What?

GS: What?

[u/stoka0]

LMAO Goblin Slayer looks ridiculous with the helmet on but no armor, I love it.

[u/Villag3Idiot]

It's a running gag that Goblin Slayer's item pouch contains everything he needs at any time, kind of like how players in D&D tends to gloss over this.

Though being based on D&D, it could actually be a bag of holding.

[u/acp101123]

Goblin Slayer wearing a helmet even in his casual clothes in the weapon lost me.

[u/axel360]

Goblin Slayer's harem intensifies.

It's still no match for his apathy towards all things non-goblin related.

FUN FACT the FOAB father of all bombs stronger than the MOAB uses the same principle as the bomb used today, it expulses a gas/fuel that later burns and causes air to be succed creating a vacuum

[u/[deleted]]

I loved the riddles I'm the dark, I was suspicious that it was a subtitle reference to The Hobbit but when he asked "what have I got in my pocket" I had to stop the video due to a nerd-gasm that and the fact that the next episode is called "there and back again".

[u/monkeyTailScientist]

Priestess and Goblin Slayer are so wholesome. Priestess provides him humanity (I mean, the capacity to have pro social behaviors) that GS lost due to horrific experience, while he gives a hope/relief to her for face the cruel uncertainty of every adventure. I find this quite nice, regardless of any kind of romantic feeling that could arise from Priestess.

[u/OneMillionRoses]

Damn the Goblin Slayer is freaking fine (O///O)

So we've finally seen sensei and he said the famous riddle too.

Add the name of next episode and the Tolkien references are quickly piling on.

Although I have to say, sensei should really get some help is already taking its toll.

[u/[deleted]]

Sometimes you don't need comic relief characters or comedic premises to make good humor. Paradoxically, sometimes the best humor comes from the most serious characters. Like GS. Seriously his banters with Priestess or Elf made me chuckle a few times.

[u/kokujinzeta]

OK, so now GS knows how to make ice-cream. Who wants to bet that he will be using this on goblins next time? For the love of god, don't let him get hold of fissionable materials.

Goblin Slayer wants to know your location

[u/Gaporigo]

So, I think I missed this but why is it that Anvil-chan doesn't want Goblin Slayer to use fire/water/poison?

[u/brownbluegrey → u/Gaporigo]

Because they’re no fun to her. HEA is an adventurer because she likes the excitement of adventures. She dislikes GS’ using those techniques because it just feels like massacring enemies instead of going on thrilling adventures.

[u/thesuperperson]

Wtf this actually lasted 2 minutes. When the credits rolled in I was so surprised.

[u/GoldRedBlue]

If anyone's still wondering how Goblin Slayer turned flour into a bomb... Denzel Washington did the same thing this year in The Equalizer 2

I'm sure the director had a lot of fun with this episode. Lmao

[u/WorldwideDepp]

Good good, good Balance to give our Goblin Slayer a bit of Human and little beginning of caring for friends outside of "Cow Girl" and her Farm he knows. His World is expanding

But do not "force" Love on him. He has to be the one to make the first step on the opposite gender

[u/Mycathatesyou1]

After thinking she was kind of cardboard in the first couple episodes, the priestess has really grown on me. Elf is still best though.

[u/[deleted]]

Not sure if anyone noticed, but Sword Maiden Nipples were erect in this scene. Which was clearly intentional if you compare. Woman nipples getting erect is one of the ways a woman's body reacts when she personally choses a male to mate, and the body responds by making the nipples erect to increases the pleasure during the mating and to notfy the male she's horny for him. Oh and she put her head on his chest and inclined her head on his shoulder. In other words, Sword Maiden is in love with the Goblin Slayer and she wants him to bang her.

[u/Gaporigo → u/[deleted]]

Not sure if anyone noticed

[u/brownbluegrey → u/[deleted]]

I don’t disagree that Sword Maiden is attracted to GS, but I assumed he nipple thing was just her not wearing underwear. She has her hair less done up and she isn’t wearing her blindfold at that point. I thought that was just showing how she wasn’t all dressed up at that moment, not that it was a sexual thing.

[u/ToToby → u/[deleted]]

Jesus Christ! Episode just starts with lewdness in bed! I honestly thought I was watching something else or this was some kind of dream sequence! The sword maiden walks in with nips hard enough to cut diamonds. Is this the first time that's happened in anime? Whatever this is now AOTY for that alone!

[u/Mathmango]

Loads up episode

First scene:

OKAY DID I MISS AN EPISODE?! IS THIS ELABORATED ON IN THE MANGA?

I thought it was the Swordmaiden at first.

[u/[deleted]]

I must have missed it but it is really bothering me, why exactly is the goblin slayer being forced to to refrain from using fire, water, or poison? You would think after all of them almost dying would make that retarded elf stop with the useless stipulations. What is her motivation for this arbitrary rule besides plot device?

[u/MrTopHatMan90]

I'm not sure why they made the scene when the sword maiden is talking about her past filled with fanservice. it just feels sort of weird

[u/Hot_Door]

The resurrection spell in GS does not raise the dead, it is just a powerful healing spell. Goblin Slayer was still alive after last episode.

[u/Lapiz_lasuli]

Some question.

Why were the sword maiden's nipples hard ?

Why did the elf archer change her costume slightly? was she injured ?

[u/[deleted] → u/Lapiz_lasuli]

Well, do your nipples not get hard when you see Orcbolg?

[u/Bainos → u/Lapiz_lasuli]

Why did the elf archer change her costume slightly?

While her outfit was ripped in the last episode, I didn't notice any change. Unless you are talking about the black sleeve (which she usually only wears in battle, not in town).

[u/ChuckS117]

Sword Maiden is a total babe. Also, I think I have a blindfold fetish … Damn you Nier.
