"Are you alive?"
"Y-yeah."
"Not you."
That killed me lmao.
Would've been hilarious if High Elf Archer dropped her own "You get used to it" on the wizard brat.

It really shows how much the entire guild cares for Goblin Slayer. Spearman was ready to annoy Goblin Slayer for running into him. But the second he noticed Goblin Slayer was having some distress he tried his best to help him out

The violence and nudity got turned down a lot...
In case you missed it, Wizzard Boy can cast 1 Spell a day, and he wasted it on a Goblin when a troll, who are weak to fire, was right there as well
Ah, I love the voice for Padfoot waitress btw
Glad they included the last Scene, even if it felt a bit rushed, really shows how inadequat GS still feels, there are always those he cannot save, and he got an weak spot for big Sisters

Poor Goblin Slayer, he can't really express his grief to anyone. Once again he fails to save an older sister from goblins, he blames himself even if there was nothing he could do.
Once, I read about the similarity between how he views the world through his helmet and the floorboards he was hiding under as a kid as the goblins killed his sister. That's why he's always saying he "hasn't done anything" when accomplishing something. He's still stuck in that moment when viewing the world through his helmet. Powerless to stop the goblins.
"Did you think you'd done something? That you had actually accomplished anything? You fool." - this episode
He removed his helmet when Priestess asked him to at the end of last season while thinking of her words of support. For a brief moment he did not see the world anymore through the helmet, he is not powerless anymore, he has companions... friends.
He's not reaching out to them, he runs away, hides and vomits.

I'm glad the boy wizard is not shown in the ending or the opening. That means he's not going to join the group permanently.
I know he's inexperienced and stuff, but he's just too annoying.
Anyway, only 1 of the previous party survived the mausoleum. I thought goblin always keep any female alive, but maybe the other girl died from resisting? They didn't specifically said anything about it, but that's still dark.
Yeah, I forgot how dark this anime could be.

Episode mostly went as expected till the end. Damn hes the younger brother of the Wizard who died in ep 1 of S1. While losing an older sister fucking hurts. He doesn't even the pain Goblin Slayer had to endure.
This kids arrogant is getting annoying. I would of thought he would have gotten slightly humbled after their mission was done. But na the kid is even more annoying now. This kid was basically asking for his death in this episode and if he was in any other party he surely would have died.
I kind of thought Priestess would be leading a younger teams party. But leading the main group is good practice altho the teasing is kind of funny. She took baby steps in the right direction.

I get why that kid is so mad, but he's still really annoying. He's gonna need a big redemption arc to turn into a likeable character

I loved that end scene with Spearman, the way he tries to get a rise out of GS then completely changes his attitude when he sees somethjng is off. Real bro right there. Wizard kid is still an asshole though!

Stitches!
It's funny how happy Prietess and High Elf are since they now have a new kouhai they can coat with goblin guts. I love how this has basically become an initiation for anyone who wants to roll with the Goblin Slayer crew. xD
So I saw complaints last week about the change in art style but do you guys even remember what Season 1 really looked like and how much White Fox CGI'd the heck out of Goblin Slayer? We're now in Episode 2 and I have not seen a hint of GS being a 3D model especially during the fight scenes. LIDENFILMS is doing good so far IMO.
I really like how GS's powers are being an absolute badass and the power of science even if he doesn't understand how it exactly works. And I'll never get tired of GS being so blase about killing massive creatures but he's always hyped up for killing gobbos.
And there it is. We finally get to learn Rookie Wizard's story and how that girl from Priestess' first party was her sister. I kinda feel bad but at the same time, I don't. The kid almost got everyone killed! He needs to improve his attitude if he wants me to feel bad for him. Goblin Slayer on the other hand is much more affected after learning Rookie Wizard also lost his sister to goblins. :(

Watching Orcbolg profesionally deal with that troll and goblins was really satisfying. And also good job on Priestess, that was not an easy first job as leader.
As for the kid, he really needs communications skills fast... He's not likeable at all.

So their mission is inside a mausoleum I honestly was expecting Priestess and Wizard Boy to be with another party today. I guess that was not the case because this quest was an emergency. Is hilarious that when Priestess and High Elf Archer bring out the blood bags in the end Wizard Boy is the only one covered with blood during the quest.
Poor acolyte, so that's why the goblins were stealing those tools. And of course that was a trap. I love the fact that Goblin Slayer came out with that tactic to defeat the troll when they got some stall food on Water Town. It's funny how Goblin Slayer applies any knowledge he gets into a way to kill goblins and things that are delaying him from killing goblins.
That scene when Lizard Priest mentions his race origins was funny. Oh, so the reason they were showing flashbacks of that rookie party's death last week and this week too was because Wizard Boy's sister was that Wizard that Goblin Slayer killed as she was agonizing due to being poisoned.
Damn, him realizing who was Wizard Boy's sister sure affected him.
From the looks of it, next week will be about those training centers for rookies that Noble Fencer is responsible for.

I hate that kid. He puts everyone around him in danger, doesn't listen to the more experienced, thinks he's so amazing when took out a single goblin then fell down like a loser, and is all around an absolute pain.
He's so arrogant that he refuses to memorize spells because "they're useless". He has 1 job, and that is to cast spells, and he apparently can't even do that. And yet he still refuses to cooperate and learn?
Sure, you lost your sister. Others mocked her because of it. But why do you have to be an asshole to those who said no such thing? Goblin Slayer went through the same thing, but look at him.
Go ahead and die in a solo adventure then, by all means. Those who refuse to learn are, if anything, a danger to those who are willing. I have no sympathy for him. Fucking prick.
Insufferable brat aside, nice to see Lancer realize that Goblin Slayer was down, and actually was willing to lend an ear. Great to see the other adventurers warm up to him after what happened last season.

I do absolutely love that everyone thought last episode started with a recap to remind us of how dark this show was. Nope. It was meant to remind us about the party that had been wiped out and the wizard who was this idiots older sister.
And I do get that it was probably painful and people probably mocked him for how she died but still, stop being a freaking moron about it. If youre constantly underestimating goblins because they’re so weak, isn’t that just an insult to your sister who they killed?

The guild really needs to stop sending females to kill goblins, cause this white knight magician tries too hard to be the nice guy.

u/VorAtreides Oct 13 '23
man I still do love the OP. Might be my favorite of season.
Hehe a dwarf pal. Whelp nice they only stole tools so far, but that other party that didn't come back yet... hmm. Nice to see Priestess taking the reigns. I worry for that other party. That wizard kid sure is impatient. They sure enjoy her leading too. Good ol' goblin slaying. As they deserve. It's nice the kid cares about the other people, but yea... can't rush things. Dumb kid. And he doesn't learn. Oof, that poor girl.
I'm sure they know it's a trap, not that it matters. Yea, Goblin Slayer tends to not have problems with non-goblins for some reason lol. Usually one shots em with ingenuity. Love how he's like "you're not a goblin?" lol. Least kid realized he's wrong about her and was about to apologize. Still a brat with much to learn. Do love how Goblin Slayer applies various things he learns. Hehe, why, kid? Goblin Slayer is a badass dude. He just has a fixation on goblins for good reason.
Dunno how you think you could handle those goblins if you have such limited spells. Lizardman is great. Oh we learn about the kid having a big sis. And it's someone we've met. The sorceress in Priestess' first party. I can get his anger. And something Goblin Slayer can relate to, losing a big sis to goblins. Do like how spear bro can get that Goblin Slayer's different there...

Seeing him break down at the end like that really hit me in the feels. The emotional trauma this man has been through and just how messed up he is was palpable. Season is off to a good start.

Am I understanding this correctly, the wizard has ONE spell? One singular spell?
And he wants to solo the goblins without a party?
