The MC prefers any quest which involves destroying goblin since he hold some grudges against goblin and they are seen as a greater threat to the people. However, in some of his quests, he still fought against a number of different opponents (monsters, assassins and orc).

it wasn't a Orc, it was a Ogre(Oni) Mage. The term became popularize in Western Fantasy when WotC introduce 2 Ogre Mage into the Forgotten Realm Setting in the early/mid-2000s.

Just started reading the LN from Amazon. Question for those who read ahead, but the Elf mentions that there was a sword that excelled at Goblin Slaying. Has GS obtained his namesake weapon yet?

To be honest, I don't *feel* he hates them enough. You don't see him killing them in a passionate maniac kind of way. He's very level-headed, and he seems to be a lot more concerned towards the danger they pose to society. That's pretty much the very definition of a hero...

Similiarly, I also read online that he reacts violently when they threaten Priestess. I don't think I've seen anything of that sort, as of yet.

You don't get more hatred than bashing the kid gobs with their clubs.

As for that violent, I think they're referencing a scene where Priestess got fooled by a gob and almost got ganked. Should be at the end of the farm assault arc. For the records, he strangled a high level gob to death using the hair of one of said gob victim.

It sounds a lot like that, but he makes it much more of a functional point. He doesn't seem to let his actual feelings get involved. My point is, it feels a lot more like a job than doing something he loves.

I read that part on the first volume, and it sounded rather neutral to me.

4Chan has a scans of the entire thing. Oh and if I remember right, the hair was still attached if you know what I mean.

Twi · 2017-06-19, 18:26

The Goblin Champion, you mean? That was in the second volume. It's strength was supposedly around the same level as the Ogre, without the magic or regeneration or intelligence. It was definitely taller too, judging by the picture in the LN.

Spoiler for Just in case:

I'm also not sure why they say he wears leather armor with chainmail beneath it when he's got metal on in the picture either, but I feel bad for anyone who reads this and then goes to read the Iron Teeth Serial, where the protagonist is a Goblin that becomes a Hobgoblin. I can't help but think... Goblin Slayers going to come and kill all of Blacknail's tribe. Though, I feel GS would be welcomed in Grimgar.

Twi · 2017-06-21, 19:32

It's like I said.

Spoiler for Stuff:

And it doesn't look just like the Ogre. The Ogre had more muscle going by the images alone. I do know there was a Goblin Champion that appeared during the end of Vol. 1, with the Goblin Army.

Spoiler for goblin slayer gaiden year one cover:

Chingaruna517 · 2017-07-13, 09:13

Question: What is the Year One Gaiden is all about? Was it the prequel of the series in regards of Goblin Slayer's rise as one the goblins hunter he is now? It sound like an obvious question but, does that mean we are going to see journey of the GS himself before meeting the priestess?

Twi · 2017-07-13, 12:11

I believe it'll cover his first year Goblin Slaying. It's been about five years in the main series since he started out.

Kinda like Batman Year One right? You can see his armor being more polished and ornate compared to now.

Although I'm guessing something happened to that girl in the cover.

Twi · 2017-07-13, 21:36

Sword's too long, armor looks fancy, the horns on the helmet scream "grab me", and I don't see him packing a lot of emergency gear like a potion or antidote. It reminds me of what it said in the first novel about people who encounter goblins either kill them with ease, take their licks and learn from the experiences, or die. This looks like his time to learn.

Side note here....

Interesting to note this was one ogre mages became popular ... I remember them showing up back in the late 1970s/early 1980s both in the first edition of TSR's Monster Manual and the module S2 - White Plume Mountain, where a polymorphed Ogre Mage (as a halfling? I forget...) was guarding a magic sword named Blackrazor ... at least I think it was Blackrazor. In the Monster Manual hey were called "Ogre Magi" ... a little different of a cultural image from the use of Magi as opposed to Mage.

Twi Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011	It's like I said. Spoiler for Stuff: The Goblin Champion, after knocking GS out for a bit, strolls up and takes a bite out of her shoulder with the chain mail and all. It gets healed good as new though. And it doesn't look just like the Ogre. The Ogre had more muscle going by the images alone. I do know there was a Goblin Champion that appeared during the end of Vol. 1, with the Goblin Army. __________________

Twi Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011	If its any consolation: Spoiler for Champion Fate: Aside from ripping its eye out, GS manages to trick it into killing several of the other Goblins before burying it under a metric ton of rubble, killing it brutally. But yeah, Champions don't screw around. __________________
