quite different actually, Shaman are leader of small group of goblins as with the case GS reminded the party during the Ogre case and the priestess events. Lord ruled over entire horde, with champions inside it. Far, far higher ranked and dangerous than Shaman.

This is like a mirror match between GS and the Shaman as both of them kinda have similar past.

Not just the final page. GS apperance is chillingly amazing. He's like a boss straight outta Dark SOuls if you ask me.

Been thinking of making that last page my new avie.

Indeed. It goes to show how not so different the Goblin Lord and GS are, both learned from experience to be smarter, better and stronger and have strong hatred for the other race. The difference being GS has noble yet pragmatic reason to kill goblins and save people while the Goblin Lord is selfish person who desires power and won't hesitate to kill or sacrifice his followers.

In a related note, i think i remember the 2nd chapter about GS and Priestess talking about the idea of "good Goblins" which GS is willing to believe if such goblins do exists if he ever meet and shown proof of these good goblins who are not like their evil brethren.

This does pose an interesting question. If a goblin child was spared and raised by humans, will this Goblin child be civilized and has an empathy for non-goblin races and not follow like their evil brethren?

[Twi]

Goblins inherently feel animosity towards those with words (the human, dwarves, elves, lizardmen, etc.) like all monster, and as GS said in the first chapter, they remember losing their nest. That woman who spared him as a Goblin child because he was a child promptly got her head bashed in for it. Anyone who takes in a goblin child will very likely end up the same way, killed once they are able. That's why he doesn't like leaving children to survive, so they don't end up like this.

Mind you, there could be a curveball somewhere down the line.

[dragon1412]

hard to say, like GS, a good goblin probably exist if you look hard enough. But that doesn't mean every goblin is good, as a matter of fact, the damage of sparing all goblins kids just for 1 good goblin isn't worth it. Look at the goblin Lord this chapter and you will see, his action is probably 99% of spared goblin will act.

I will summarize it, good goblin = dead goblin

Good goblin = not in this manga.

[Twi]

Both are right answers.

[Jazzrat]

To the goblins, humans are the monsters ��. It's all about angle of perception. I been wondering why I been enjoying this manga so much but it just came to me that GS is kinda like macguyver. Killing goblins with ingenuity and innovation.

Plus the dark soul like vibe helps.

-Your home. Is gone.-

If you look for the word epic in the dictionary, a picture of Goblin Slayer appears.

[Twi]

I wonder if he set the women in there free beforehand. Probably killed a lot of Goblin Kids too.

It's GS. Unfortunately, unless he had more than Priestess with him I'd doubt he'll try to save the women.

Goblin kids though... We'll probably somewhere around the double digits count in term of "collateral"

[Twi]

What I hope he did was kill the kids, ensure the women are safe, block the entrance to stop anymore goblins from getting inside, and then come back with others to retrieve them.

Here is my thought if it is more on nurture than nature. Any Goblin child born in a nest is already predisposed towards not respecting other races that is what they were raised. Their mothers are nothing but breeding livestock not there to take care of them. Hence no point of empathy.

Any rescued women if they are pregnant would be forced to abort the goblin in their womb.

Theoretically a good goblin can only come about if its mother felt love for it than disgust from being the product of her rape. This assumes the mother escapes on her own and gives birth away from Goblins and other races. Raising her goblin child by herself.

But here is the thing other races would biased at such a goblin due to his race's bad reputation.

You saw what happens when people give the goblins the benefit of the doubt.

The only good goblin is a dead goblin.

You were exaggerating and blew the entire scenario out of proportion. I mean, it was just a small rock mauled on your head.

[xeviouses]

Didn't know we had a forum for the GS manga. Anyway:

I just hope after this skirmish GS gets treated with a little more respect. The vets treat him as a hallmark or the guild mascot, while noobs think he's just some poser just because he doesn't have bling. (IMO GS armor looks awesome kinda like the armor from DS2)

[Sixth]

Chapter 14 is out.

The veterans are finally realized how dangerous those champion goblins were. Neat combo from those 2 knight couple.

[MrTerrorist]

Well that was great team up between those two knights.
And GS deals a fatal blow to the Goblin Lord.
