Goblin Slayer

[Kraco]

All these people, they have no respect in them. They keep bothering Goblin Slayer with things that have got nothing to do with goblins. The audacity!

It's quite interesting he never went through the giant rat phase. Since goblin quests, with their unknown difficulty, are already open to porcelains, that's all he ever did, right from the very beginning.

I imagine when they held the promotion exam for Priestess, they didn't need to have some silver ranked badass sitting in the room, in case something goes wrong.

This episode, even though it didn't include any goblins, was still fun to watch.

This episode didn't include goblins, but it had some good news at the end

- Goblin Slayer.


One point I find worth discussing:

I wonder if the Scout decided NOT to attack due to a skill of his. Would've certainly fit his "class".

[MFauli]

I hate her :/

Btw what was that witch girl's purpose? From what we saw, she went full-Megumin. One attack and then she's mere emotional support? I mean ... lol.

You mean the porcelain priestess? Or the bombshell witch?

For the former, it looked like she just can't deal with bugs. At all.

[NeoCybercoin]

Yeah pretty sure it's the classic girls can't handle bugs trope.

As for the scout. I think he didn't attack because of Slayer. I mean despite his reputation he IS a Silver Rank. So the dude just thought that having reflexes fast enough to stop him would be part of that.

[Buffalobiian]

FYI I'm a girl who can't handle bugs.

[KrayZ33]

I'm a man and I can't handle them either.

[MFauli]

She still can only use her spell once a day. She's useless.

[KrayZ33]

No one said she can only use her spell once a day as far as I remember but even then, who exactly said that she can/will do nothing else afterwards?

What's stopping her to use her staff as a weapon, other than her fear - which almost stopped her from using the spell too.

So I doubt her usefullness is determined by her spell alone

[MFauli]

That's what I wanna know lol.

And she said it herself, right after killing a rat.

[David75]

Even with luck and because they were against lower species, they still had the right attitudes/choices and survived twice when they are only two.
So among beginners, they are at least remarkable for that.
Doesn't they can't die meaninglessly in a future episode.

Guild Girl did say that beginners dying in their first quest is common, didn't she ?

[Ryllharu]

Is it even a staff? It looks like a sheathed sword. My guess when watching was that she is a paladin. She just can't fight bugs because she's afraid of them.

[MFauli]

But she couldn't fight rats either

[Kraco]

A fighter and a spellcaster who can cast a single spell in a day. What an adventurer team.

[KrayZ33]

She managed the rats just fine.

[MFauli]

She managed the rats just fine.

One. Singular. Then her daily spell was gone.

[KrayZ33]

She wasn't required for more. She wasn't scared of the rats however.
So your point about her not being able to fight rats stands corrected.

If you are saying she is weak, just like the fighter dude, I'd definitely agree. But that's why they are the lowest rank.

If the first team the series began with, porcelain as well, had chosen to take rat requests instead of the goblin one, I reckon they would have fared a lot better. They seemed quite a bit stronger than these two, just tragically incompetent against opponents capable of plotting.

There's being weak and there's being useless. Being able to attack only once per day is the latter.

[shinta|hikari]

Doesn't that one attack count as a use though? Then she might suck, but not useless. And the number of spells they can use should increase as they gain experience and practice.
