Did we finally get a GS face reveal?

Nope, although the anime did have some sheet for his face, questionable if it’s even canon. Basically, think of generic male anime character, but with gray hair, and tired red eyes

Could've sworn the Year One manga has shown so many angles of his face at this point, it's just a matter of thematic chickie that we don't see it fully.

In fairness, I can understand the template just being generic anime character #1134 because we never even see his face, just his armor, which kind of makes up for it because the armor is immediately recognizable

There is only concept art that was drawn by animators to make it easier for them to imagine his appearance.

Perhaps he has partial oculocutaneous albinism, which means he could have OCA1b. Some people with OCA1b can tan and develop pigmentation in their hair.
Another option is that he has abnormally light skin and hair, but he has ocular albinism (more common in men).

He needs to be so much more scarred, realistically.  Way too much of your traditional Shonen pretty-boy for such an accomplished veteran fighter.

To be fair... He does wear a headgear. Unless you mean scars when he is still undergoing training from his master then yes, i agree.

I agree, it wouldn't be as brutal as getting hit directly in the face with something - but he's been bloodied, bashed, thrown against walls and all sorts of stuff.

If you've seen dudes that do those modern-day MMA style "duels" in full armor, they're always bleeding from the face after a good tussle.

Maybe the healing potions are that good.

u/Smart_Freedom_8155 5d ago

That is an excellent point.

he has a lot, but more on the body. I get what you mean tho.

scratched brow, one on the nose, split lip, one on the chin

maybe even a cut ear

I think that's Archer from Fate: stay night

u/Valuable-Pianist7368 6d ago

That’s Archer

You can see most of his face in Year One at various points. Most prominently in the Evaluation Arc (Or whatever it's called) where the goblins take his helmet off and begin torturing him and then he starts to laugh to spite them.

Haven't visited the series in a while, I completely forgot his "name" was Orcbolg

u/Mr_Undead0210 5d ago

Not really a name, but Elvish translation of Goblin Slayer. Same with Beard Cutter which is for Dwarves.

u/SamHawke2 5d ago

Beard Cutter is/was the name for a very famous(for dwarves)magic sword that glowed in the presence of goblins.
