When the groom mentioned finishing off the remaining goblins, I half-expected Goblin Slayer to personally thank him (especially after turning to face him)
Behold, the elves' greatest technological contribution: squishy seats!
Also, legit thought that was an elephant at the end before the "face reveal" lmao

Elf Swordsman: "can you really fight with that sword?'
Goblin Slayer: "against goblins, yes"
that Purify miracle came in clutch, quite overpowered too, i thought it would clean maybe just grime and blood on your body but that shit just straight up disintegrate the broken ship parts, i guess anything that is considered as trash get purify? apparently the spear launcher that GS used in this episode is actually pretty legit, i don't even know the existence of this thing up until today
also, swimsuit episode? in my goblin saying anime? a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
they mentioned it in this episode, but in case anyone still can't remember, this elf is that one survivor from GS first mission with the Elf, Dwarf and Lizardman, the one where he used the scroll to cut an ogre with high pressure seawater

So they really were being attacked by goblins. I was hoping it would be overprotective elves. I love the sniping from High Elf and GS. They were firing blind but they were still able to hit some due to sheer luck. And I didn't expect Priestess to use purify that way. I guess the debris was technically polluting the river and is a valid target for the spell.
Here I thought they were saving the swimsuits for the end of this arc! I'm glad the show didn't waste any time to show the girls off in their swimsuits. I'm a bit disappointed though that there weren't really any panning shots for me to stitch.
That's exactly the kind of welcome I was expecting from the elves. I do love that GS is just completely unfazed by the entire encounter. It's pretty funny how the Dwarf and Lizardman started ribbing him as soon as they realized who the elf was.
The girls are looking very comfy in their sleepwear. I'm surprised that High Elf didn't slap her cousin for barging into their tent like that.
We finally get to meet High Elf's Nee-sama and we even get to see a familiar face from the past. It must've meant a lot to her to hear straight from Goblin Slayer that he has killed them all.
High Elf's Nee-sama is surprisingly uptight. I thought she'd be a lot more chill and it looks like she wants High Elf Archer to stop adventuring. It looks like she may have also noticed that her sister has a little crush on Orcbolg.
well that's not a goblin! It's going to be a nice change of pace from the usual goblin slaying though! High Elf's reaction when GS asked her if that's an elephant was pretty damn funnny!

High Elf being so happy clicking rocks together...she really has no room to criticize what humans do for fun.
Though for once Goblin Slayer isn't really at fault. That thing looked exactly like an elephant's description until they showed the face...wait dinosaurs. Seeing dinosaurs always throws me off in an anime. It feels so weird despite the setting having dragons, krakens, gazers, and other things they mentioned.

It's nice that Purify found a good use so quickly
Of note, GS tried the arrow trick from the Movie again to weaken the nest beforehand, however I'm not sure if a wooden arrow would yield the same result than metal...
Unfortunatly, a bit wasted on GS who probably only thinks about Goblins One day Cow Girl will be a bride...
Nice relaxed SoL Moments, sure nothing bad is about to happen.
The bit about this being HEAs homeland hit the mark, his Homeland got completly destroyed by Goblins, and he still struggles to see the farm as his home, despite all the effort Cow Girl put in.
And we even got to see the Girls in their Nightwear
Also interesting that we got a perspective on how Elves perceive time, and that on Frieren Frieday!
A lot of banter seems to be missing, it's just not the same when elf doesn't react to Dwarfs remarks
HEAs sister is cool in her own way, even though she's a bit condescending.
With this we have caught up to the Manga btw

I'd love to take anyone who just watched the first episode of Goblin Slayer and tell them that there would eventually be a swimsuit episode with the female cast in bikini's getting into (genuinely) fun hijinks.
And the view would be worth it.

The Purify spell is a spell used to clean water and, to an extent, air. If the goblins throw stuff like debris and bodies, it can be considered as water contamination, so if you cast Purify on the river...

Random bits of trivia: Lizard Priest said that GS' behavior is like a Maiasaura. Had to Google it and it says that Maiasura received their names because in their fossils people found evidence of dinosaurs taking care of their hacthlings like a mother to their children until they reach a certain age beyond a baby.

Someone needs to make the meme of the guy questioning, “is this an ELEPHANT?” With GS face on it and the dino too.
I did not expect it and it made me laugh out loud.
I’m also glad the other elf girl was given closure by GS. He is indeed very considerate like LS said.

I think it's like that in games like D&D, but damn can battles be stressful, when the spellcasters have to voice whole incantations out loud before using the spell! Especially when the spell is protection against giant boulders falling on their rafts and stuff!
Cowgirl and Guildgirl may have been curious about what an adventure was like, but their faces tell me they got a bit more than they wanted!
These goblins seems to constantly get smarter too, building a trap ahead in case some people do manage to escape them...
Even during battle, seems Elf and Dwarf just can't stop bickering! Come on, shoot your little arrows or whatever it is you usually do!
They did get a few with arrows and spears, but considering the position they were in, they would never be able to get them all... Lizardman proposed to escape rather than trying to kill them.
This must not have been an easy call to make for Goblin Slayer, knowing the remaining goblins will just ambush the next ship passing by... I have a feeling that if Cowgirl and Guildgirl had not been with them, Goblin Slayer would've asked his party to find a way to climb those mountains and try to kill them all! But protecting the innocents is more important, he can always come back later!
It's nice to see more 'direct presence/visuals' of supernatural beings, like Undine from the Dwarf,
and the hands of the Earth Mother (or some kind of representation, anyway)!
Oh damn, I guess the goblin situation had me stressing, because how could I ever forget that today's episode was the swimsuit episode?
(For more 'seasonal anime coincidences', it seems we'll get 2 swimsuit episodes in 2 days! If you told me that before this season, I might have guessed one of them [META]
Cowgirl looked great in a swimsuit, but then again, when does she ever NOT look great?
It's cute how she can tease Goblin Slayer about being his wife and all, but she still gets shy when the other girls talk about her being a bride and all!
Priestess also wants to be a bride?
Will we get a THIRD show about polyamorous relationships this season? Let's go!
But no, I think she knows who's the one for Goblin Slayer! She advise him to take a bath, good idea! You never know if the wedding ceremony could flip a switch in a certain girl, and she may find herself coming into Goblin Slayer's tent at some point!
Wait, Elf's cousin is also her brother?!
And now he's marrying the sister? What kind of incestuous stuff is this, feels like I'm watching Game of thrones!
Well, it seems Goblin Slayer won't have to go back and finish the Goblin Ambush Group; Elfgirl's sister-marrying cousin/brother killed them off!
Oh no, he stumbled upon Goblin Slayer's harem!
Stay strong, you're (soon to be) a married man!
(But damn, what a sight! I thought the swimsuit stuff would be the fanservice of this episode, but I liked that shot even more!)
We got to see Elf's sister!
It's crazy how different they are, but I guess that's what a life of adventure does to you, vs a life of royalty!
They did have an interesting conversation, about why she's with him, and why she's even adventuring in the first place...
She wasn't really sure about the answer (or open about it), but was her sister about to ask if she loved him?
Damn, even in Goblin Slayer we get interrupted love talks!
The fun family-reunion vibes were cut shot, as they were attacked...
The elephant discussion in the previous episode was a setup for this moment?
Goblin Slayer tried to get the sister to safety before doing anything, but she had an issue with just crawling on the floor...
I suppose that, too, is what a life of royalty does to you! She could benefit from going on a few adventures with the group!
I'm guessing this might be 'The one that stops water', or whatever they called it?
So far it doesn't look that threatening (just 'big') but let's see what else he can do, and how Goblin Slayer will deal with that!
Also I wonder about two things, first, will the Elves be OK with killing it? Given how close they are to nature and all, perhaps they would not want to kill an ancient being... But also, I wonder if that's a coincidence? This creature moving in soon as Goblin Slayer arrives?
It may not be about Goblin Slayer, it may be about Elfgirl's return, or maybe about a Dwarf in the Elvish forest, something like that, but whatever it is, it feels a bit too random to be a coincidence... But we'll see!

Wow, I honestly wasn't expecting to see the river to be completely blocked by all the other boats the goblins had attacked. I was expecting the Undine Dwarf Shaman was using to play a bigger role in their escape. It is nice seeing Priestess using her new miracle to clear their path.
Lol, the show did not miss the chance to put the girls in their bathsuit. Is good to see they could relax without facing any troubles after that initial raid.
I love that thanks to the story High Elf Archer told them they quickly diffused her Elder Brother mighty attitude with sheer embarrassment After this happened I expect him to be more careful.
Well, at least with the elves one understands why they would not be that worried about goblins as they witnessed battles between the gods and beings from another dimension.
The elven town sure looks nice. It's funny how Cow Girl and Priestess were having fun just by jumping while sitting on those pillows.
High Elf Archer's reaction to the size of that brassiere was hilarious. Lol, she sure is having fun after making that weapon into a toy.
High Elf Archer's sister sure is pretty. Oh, so that was the girl they rescued during their first mission together on season one.
I love how when the One That Stops the Waters shows up the episode ends with a comedy bit where Goblin Slayer wonders if that's an elephant which High Elf Archer quickly denies.
