Absolutely- DYING with that cameo xD you edited it so well xD
Also loving this video so far (despite the fact that I'm not a fan of the show) honestly very interested in your psychological breakdowns of the characters too :o love the idea you have of him wearing the helmet because he can't let go of that trauma

"no wait, don't kill me I have a family!"


"... I know. They're next."

People often forget that the reason Goblin Slayer is still a Silver rank is his own choice.
Silver is the highest rank the Guild can give him, while still remaining a freelance adventurer.
IIRC once you reach Gold, you'll be required to take commissions from the government, and Platinum is reserved for kingdom heroes.

From the cast and crew of Goblin Slayer Abridged, thanks for continuing to support the official release with more content to help keep the show relevant!

As the official voice of Priestess from the dub it makes me SO happy to see D&D content about the series that I love so much!

[Earliersphere]

For me Goblin slayer is best described as working class fantasy. skilled professionals doing their job as adventurers

[kamikazelemming]

I love how you labeled Ogre as "Not a Goblin, " because that is exactly what Goblin Slayer refers to him as throughout the entirety of the novels.

The 2nd Girl working at the guild is the guild inspector, basically her job is almost identical to primary Guild Girl but with the added responsibilities of having some priestess training to make sure the adventurers are remaining honest in the reports which determines rank promotions

Goblin slayer should get the tavern brawler feat, not because its necessary but because it makes everything you pick up into a weapon you are proficient with, and he is clearly proficient with not just conventional sword and board but even improvised weapons

[Crazycoyote-weey]

Fun Fact Dwarf Shaman was trained as a warrior but went the Shaman route he became the Weird one in his family

[EGO-SUM-VICTOR]

In the manga Goblin Slayer: Year One (which, as the name implies, shows the protagonist's first year of goblin hunting) there is a chapter that shows him fighting in the open field to protect a village, and man, the guy is almost torn apart, He is attacked from all sides and he faints from fatigue in the middle of the fight, from fighting so much and from running after the goblins and preventing them from entering the houses.

Canonically, Goblin Slayer is wearing Leather and Chainmail. Its so covered in gibs and gore, he almost looks like an undead.

[ShinKyuubi]

Fun fact: In the prequel series Year One, which covers the early days of Goblin Slayer's start after his training, when he's getting registered with the guild, a young Guild Girl (who's pretty much been his main contact at the guild ever since) noted down he had "1 in Fighter, 1 in Ranger, and 1 in..." and it doesn't say what his third point is in. Given his training by Burglar and that he has been seen picking the lock on a treasure chest in the side story where he teams up with Spearman and Heavy Swordsman (basically Lancer from Fate and Guts from Berserk) to take down an evil wizard in a tower, he likely has at least one point in Rogue bare minimum as he notes that it's "not his primary class" and not to expect too much from him when it comes to picking the lock. This side story takes place in some in between period called "Brand New Day"...in manga form it's 2 manga volumes that cover the entirety of Volume 4 of the main light novel. This is also where we see that they DO have their own TTRPG in that world as Guild Girl and High Elf Archer play it, and we also see that High Elf Archer strings her bow with spider silk...not even MAGICAL spider silk but a common spider...that looks like a jumping spider in the manga...that she finds just crawling in her room at the inn. She gathers strands together and braids them to make her bow's string.

"Yeah goblins yeah i see yeah goblins goblins goblins goblins goblins goblins i see hm goblins"
You have no idea how long i laugh at this

[redmaxxs]

5:30 actually that is kind of right. He needs a helmet to protect his face from goblins throwing things. He actually chose that helmet because it had horns and he wanted to gore goblins with it. It broke, he also decided to keep the helmet because it reminded me of him that night. He also didn't want to show his face to people because he never felt comfortable he only showed one person. Cowgirl was the only one who ever got to see his face until the goblin raid.

It's more clear in the light novels, GS's extreme trauma is because as a kid he did something petty that kept his sister from being out of town with an uncle or something on a trip. Had he not sabotaged her trip she would have been far away during the attack. Also the author notes at the back of the books talk about d&d by name

[Crazycoyote-weey]

The main reason why Goblin Slayer fights in caves because it gives him an Advantage

Because one time

He fought them in a open field and almost lost

[cardinalhamneggs]

I can’t decide which of the following I like most about the creation of _Goblin Slayer:_
> the whole thing was inspired by a D&D campaign that the author played
> Goblin Slayer’s mentor is literally a multi-layered reference to Bilbo Baggins, from his race (Rhea are the equivalent of Halflings/Hobbits), to his name “Burglar”, to his riddles, to his equipment, to his nickname “Barrel-Rider”
> Goblin Slayer’s English VA was the lead actor in Saban’s _VR Troopers, _ and also did mo-cap work for one of the Doom games

[Focusphobia]

I have a hypothesis that Goblin Slayer's PTSD makes him not remember names, so he uses titles/classes/jobs/vocations to circumvent this flaw and identify his friends and allies.

[killerbouquet]

The connection between his helmet shape and looking through the floorboards is some genius level association sir
