I love how this series does little touches like that. Like the way at 0:42, you can see Priestess relax slightly as the garrote drops around the Champions' throat. She's confident, in that moment, that everything will be all right.
Artek [General] this has a lot of references to dnd and other tabletop rpgs, one person guessed that it was either a berserkers subclass ability that let him fight even after technically dying or him just critting on a death save to wake up
The Fighter class in DnD has an ability called Second Wind that can only be used once before requiring a Short Rest, in which the Fighter regains HP equal to a d10 roll + their Fighter level. It's not magic. It's not a special racial ability or an increased healing factor. The Fighter regains the strength to continue through sheer and adamantine force of Will.
In the manga and LN he literally looked like he just got chewed up and spit out from hell: fingers broken; his leg bent in an unnatural way; bleeding from every crevice of his armor; and an unholy glow in his eye that even made the goblins piss themselves.

He actually rolled a 7. You can see the dice thrown in a scene before he entered his rage state. After his rage state, he “passed out” (died) and was resurrected later on.

DIOhydrogen Monoxide The original author of this show considers GS as a character played by a Japanese munchkin-style player. Different from original TRPG munchkin style, Japanese munchkin style player follows the rule of the game or given by GM, but also do whatever it takes to win within the boundaries of the game rule. That’s why GS is focused on practicality and efficiency on his equipment and strategy, rather than focusing on what others or the world (or GM) thinks or wishes whatever suitable as an adventurer.
tehraider123 Yes you are correct. I was just pointing out that GS’s action and strategy can be referred as Japanese munchkin, as the author and his fans tended to use that term back before the light novel and anime when this was still an ascii art.
@@RamixTheRed and the funny thing is that the gods playing the RPG that defines the setting LIKE him that way, probably because his unpredictability adds a thrill factor for them they could not obtain otherwise.
@@MarqFJA87 Yeah tbh you can probably only see the same "extremely talented hero climbs the ranks and defeats the demon lord" story so many times before it becomes boring, seeing how GS is always thinking laterally and is always finding clever and unorthodox solutions to all these problems would be nothing short of a thrill ride by comparison
The definition of Goblin slayer when the group is overrun by Goblins and GS gets angry. "I am not locked in here with you...You're all locked in here with ME!"
For those who don't know, there is intentional irony by Goblin Slayer being asked to roll the dice. Because he has designed his entire life around how his teacher showed him you cannot trust the dice, the world is random and unfair and sooner or later the dice odds will come up dirty and you have to be prepared for anything and everything because the only certain way to beat the odds is to NEVER allow the dice to be rolled in the first place. Goblin Slayer's refusal to roll the dice goes to such a great length that it upsets even the gods.
God: Goblin Slayer you failed to save your friends, you will now die! Goblin slayer: I failed to save my friends? Who decided that? I died? Who decided that?
The guy playing Goblin Slayer: Fuck it, let me roll d20 again. Oh, a 12. I use the corpse hair to asphyxiate the champion. DM: Er … OK, roll d4 for damage effectiveness. The guy playing Goblin Slayer: 3, yes! DM: Your attack goes through and it is super effective, you ride the champion's back, strangling it with the corpse hair as you cough blood and remember your rough, hellish training days. The champion blindly swings at the other goblins, crushing them under its war club. Unfortunately, you get slammed into the wall by the champion as he struggles to get you off. What now? The guy playing Goblin Slayer: I gouge its eyeball? DM: Roll d20 for success. 16, OK, you blindside and gouge the champion's eyeball to disorient it further.
@@lt.branwulfram4794 DM: You have survived the encounter and saved the party GS: I check on our priest DM: Oh I forgot roll d20 for death save GS: No problem I got this... (roll 1) FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKK!!!!!!!!
@@R3DX_EXE do you even fucking know what OOC means? it stands for "out of character", in context meaning that goblinslayer said it outside of the game but forgot to elaborate on that.
In real life that is true though. Assassins really did use to buy specially made string made from women's long hair to strangle victims from behind. But again it is a specific weapon specially made for the assassination trade. They believed that also getting the strangulation weapon made with the hair of women they knew personally to bring luck. It isn't that different from the old maritime tradition of naming ships after women really.
DM: "Roll for a death save" GS: "Nat 20" DM: "In a blaze of fury, you rise up from the rubble, with a murderous glow from your eye, the goblins around you scream in fear as you seemingly rise from the dead. They are now feared from witnessing such a terrifyingly impossible event.

DM Gods: "Roll your final death saving throw." GS: *rolls* "Nat 1." DM Gods: "As you take your final breath- GS: "Oh yeah, I have Lucky." *rerolls* "Nat 20." DM Gods: "FFFUUUUUU-" GS: "HIT MY MUSIC!"
This is probably my favorite scene in the series. Especially the part when Priestess' eyes at 0:33 are just lifeless and full of despair then she looks down and sees Goblin Slayer slowly making his way toward her and the way her eyes fill with life and hope at 0:39 is such an underrated piece of animation.
It helps it keeps a relatively low-power zone. Unless they have magic weapons, equipment, etc. most warriors are only around as strong as humans in real life. Thus, even big monsters like a hobgoblin or Goblin Champion feel like a big threat. It also forces GS and crew to think through their tactics.
@@narutardkyuubi Even the more powerful and potent figures can't really compare or rival that of a champion. I think it's best to look at it from a DND perspective even the greatest DND character can't be a god by themselves. Goblin slayer as a silver ranked adventurer can be rated probably 15+ for DND levels. Yet with his gear being standard he's pretty weak against enemies of his level. That's something that's quite common. He doesn't like the idea of taking magical items with him in case he loses unless it's something he knows won't be too useful to use, like the teleport scroll.
@@lucielm Yeah, I think the novels also point out that, since he prefers ambushes and slowly wittling down goblin numbers with stealth and indirect methods, he's basically a rogue at heart. However, since their group doesn't have a dedicated tank, GS has to fulfill that role. Like you said, he also brings standard/sub-standard gear since he really doesn't want Goblins to get their hands on some good shit. So, he doesn't keep things like magic rings or amulets that could super-buff a Goblin. Even the Heroine, who is basically the strongest human in GS, would struggle against a Goblin Champion in a 1 on 1 battle.
@@narutardkyuubi I think the ranger class gives some rouge elements to the Goblin Slayer. I remember in Baldur's Gate which was using the ADnD rules which is old as heck. In that game the Ranger class had the ability to use stealth which only the rogue and bard also had access to. So I think for the sake of arguments a Ranger Fighter is honestly the best makeup for this character. It gives him the most versatility with tankiness in case things go bad.
@@lucielm I always give Minsc heavy armour in Baldur's Gate, though. Heavy armour and a heavy weapon. I just ignore most of his ranger abilities, aside from spells.
Love that on goblinslayers last leg, bleeding out and injured on deaths door. Yet he was still intimidated an entire horde of goblins into retreating before collapsing by the priestess.
Super late here, but if you saw a man who is literally wallowing around in his grave, not only nearly strangle a big guy to death, but _punch_ and _rip_ the eye out, to then say "who's next. You? Or you?". I'd be scared shitless
(Translated from Goblin): Beware the monster that may come at dusk or dawn, when we are falling to slumber or just rising from slumber. It looks like one of the hated adventurers, but does not smell like one. It does not smell of human, elf, dwarf, metal, or any other enemy. It hides its scent in a familiar mask of goblin, blood, and death, to find us unaware. It never shows its head from its armor like adventurers often do. It seems to wield terrible magic, caving in our lairs or filling them with fire, water, or poison, depending on its mood. It never shows any misguided mercy, it knows our tricks and suffers none of its victims to live, not even our children. It has plagued Goblinkind in this way for years, continues to do so, and refuses to die or relent. A lucky few survivors say that when it is at its most dangerous, its eyes glow a demonic red, its limbs twist into tendrils of pure death and darkest shadow, and its brutality is such that some of our greatest Champions and Lords have fled this... this... thing. It tends to make adventurers more deadly just by being around. They say it is only growing stronger and smarter, and it is now accompanied by hated adventurers that are being taught its ways, possibly turned into whatever this fell being happens to be. We don’t know what our enemies did to create this thing, but there could be more in the future. We only know this monster is celebrated by our enemies. To the Dwarves, it is the Beard-Cutter. To the elves, it is the Orcbolg. To us, it is the Baba-Yaga; the Boogeyman that may come in the night and kill us all. The humans give it its best known name, the name we fear and curse: The Goblin Slayer. Edit: Wow, so many likes! Thank you everyone!
We all know this was basically Doomguy playing DnD and intimidating the hell out of the dice. DM: "Okay make your death saving throw" Doomguy to dice: "I will murder your little dice family in their sleep if you fail" NAT 20 Doomguy: "Good."
There is a fine line between man and monster Not only does the Slayer ride the line, he draws strength from both sides The determination and fury of a man, and the brutal instinct of a monster
A monster that goes by name by the goblins’s killer! He who knows no mercy. He who know no sanity. He who knows no weakness but his enemies! He brings forth death in a form of magic onto the most experience know, a hunter who has turned into a Hellhound! Lords runs, Champions quiver, and minions fall to his feet to his trail. The gods of fate, order, and destiny do not command him. The dark gods of chaos, Chance, and coincidence do not command him. He commands his own fate that not even the great heroes or demon kings can do. He thinks and sees through all tricks. He followed by those hated and taught them his wicked ways. When a goblin, lord or champion, knows they are truly at death’s door is when they see the crimson through his helm. A beast that will continue to hunt until goblinkind is stricken from the world. The dwarves dubbed him Beard-Cutter, Elves dubbed him Orcbolg, but the name know by all.... Fear, amazed, even ridiculed by other adventurers is.... *Goblin Slayer.* Edit 01: Golly, thanks for the likes everyone!
Doritoman the priest girl probably sees him as a beacon of hope or some shit since he saved her. And to see the beacon get fucked up the way he was sent her into shock
He is literally the only thing keeping her together. As long as he is alive and fighting she has faith she will be ok. The second he goes down, she shattered. The second she saw him stand she was mentally ok again.
According to the wiki of this series, that dice throw it that of the Gods deciding whether he'll live or die, and GS's ability is to negate the Gods' roll of the dice in his life and persevere through near death
Well, its just a graphic effect really, but i guess you could say it glows cause thats the eye with which he watched as the goblins had their way with his sister.
This scene is quite a lot more epic when you realize that the glowing red eye of the Slayer means that he made a Critical Roll. Meaning he literally got in DnD terms a D20 in a death save check and that he rised back with 1 hp.
It's been a year I know but correct me if I'm wrong but the dice kept rolling until the end of the episode and the dice stop when he says "it happens...", so I think that he made a bad roll of dice and died
Except that's wrong. He didn't get a 20. He rolled snake eyes, it's literally shown in the vid. He ignored the roll that said he died, got back up, and killed some more goblins.
1:15 in tabletop rpgs (or any fantasy media) if there is a character that Carry lock of hair usually ppl think it’s a creepy or sentimental memento. Then later something like that plays out and reveal that old man on hence remembering childhood memories is a veteran assassin waiting for you to let your guard down.
i love the little detail with priestesses eyes, just the lack of colour and then she sees goblin slayer limping up and her eyes instantly become more vibrant
ImTheWaffleman he rolled, got a one and called bullshit and changed it to a 20 The tag line to goblin slaywr after all is “he does not let anyone roll the dice” after all
I love that little tidbit about human hair. For something in our daily lives, it really is a suprisingly strong substance. If you don't have a sharp knife or scissors, it will not cut. And if you have an entire lock of hair, it will not break, unless under massive amounts of pressure. Your hand will be more likely to break before the hair does. Just as Goblin Slayer show cased.
I think the vision there made Goblin slayer realize if he takes any more damage he'll be dead for good, so he had to intimidate his way out of the fight.
Everyone says that what makes Goblin Slayer such a good protagonist is that he isn't some all powerful hero, and he isn't expected to save the world. But he, a regular man in a world of demons, monsters, and magic, is the only person that LITERAL GODS cannot control. Like, he is way more than just some angry guy.
I mean, he is always prepared and can improvise which doesn't allow much room to luck, which is how the gods decide everyone's fates, and then he has his immense will and hatred for situations like this one.
I just remembered that a nat 1 on a shield bash or block can result in a catastrophic failure. One of the results of a catastrophic failure? The shield strap breaks, 0:25 Nice attention to detail, I like it.

What makes a masterpiece? Is it how good something looks? How it sounds? Is it in the writing or the reading? Is it in the emotions it pulls from you? No A masterpiece is all this and more. It is effort and hope and love and care. When you truly put everything you are into the making of a thing. That is a masterpiece. This scene is the culmination of artists, writers, voice actors, and sound designers putting everything they have into a scene not even 10 minutes long. And what for? In 20 years barely anyone will remember this show. In 40 you might not even be able to watch it anymore. Why? Cause it meant something to them. Because they loved what they did. Because they cared. This is a masterpiece.
I believe he did not finished the goblin champion because he couldnt. He was about to lose the grip and pass out so he took the goblins eye and crushed it to intimidate and make them flee before he pass out. Guy got a natural 20 on the intimidation roll
I didn't notice until watching this a few times, but Cripes he hit that goblin with that shield so hard it got embedded into the stone firmly. If one would translate this into a GS TRPG action he probably used a Fate point and scored over a 30 and score full on Sixes. In layman's terms: he wanted that goblin extra dead.
Remember, champions are considered to be platinum-level threats Honestly, him defeating him like he did here while all battered up and getting worse really shows how powerful he is Not just in skill and strength, but wit and endurance as well And yet I see some of the stats given to him and wonder how are those the stats they gave to him while you have constitution and wisdom levels that high
In his ravenous hatred he found no peace, and with boiling blood he scoured the ruins seeking vengeance against the goblins who had hurt his party. And those that tasted the bit of his sword named him: The Goblin Slayer
Instead of imagining the Game Rules being different, I like to imagine that the depth and detail put into all of these Character's has given them *some form* of life in some...as of yet 'undiscovered dimension', of sorts. Due to this, despite our best efforts while sat at a table to follow the rules, these Character's CAN just, but only SOMETIMES, become sentient, breaking away from the shackles that we've binded them to... ...I also think it'd be really funny if while playing a Game of DnD, the guy who plays Goblin Slayer rolls his Dice, gets a shit result but accepts it, but then, even though the Dice is completely still, it suddenly turns to the perfect result, and everyone there is just kind of like '...What the fuck?!' I know that that's NOT actually the case here, but I still like to think of it that way.
" I like to imagine that the depth and detail put into all of these Character's has given them some form of life in some...as of yet 'undiscovered dimension', of sorts." Pretty much Illusion when she decides to start a new adventure. "these Character's CAN just, but only SOMETIMES, become sentient, breaking away from the shackles that we've binded them to..." And then Truth comes in says "Sure..." and decides to kill everyone just because.
This battle is his declaration of will, he couldnt protect his sister, just like ending mentioned, every blood and tear shed is worth protecting innocent smile, so he went out of his way to save just one more person, he will not rest, he saves worlds, and im not talking about saving hero who saved the world 5 years later, im talking saving the worlds of every person threatned by goblins, he will fight he will not rest till every goblin is slain, always efficient, always methodical, always thinking fast, never acting in anger or torturing goblins for fun, always quickest and most effective
“You are surrounded by goblins, bleeding out and your party is in danger. Roll a d20 to see if you survive.” *Rolls* “30.” “What the...?!?!” *DM furiously squints at the dice and at the player. It’s the same D20 dice used throughout the game* “How the fuck did you...?” *Sees player calmly staring back, eyes locked and serious* “Call it.” *DM Gulps, sweating profusely* “... yes sir.”
I like how he doesn't rush straight in swinging his sword.
He stays calm, grabbing an improvised weapon and sneaks up on the enemy for the best odds.
Practicality and logic over simple rage.
Mesadeath C Cube the rage is what’s keeping him moving, the rest is his logic

There's indeed something similar between Goblin Slayer and Rorschach.
Technically soldier from Team Fortress 2 said it first. Considering tf2 released 2 years earlier
He does not let anyone roll the dice.
Not even the gods themselves
And that is why he is their favorite
He rolls them himself
For those who don't know, there is intentional irony by Goblin Slayer being asked to roll the dice. Because he has designed his entire life around how his teacher showed him you cannot trust the dice, the world is random and unfair and sooner or later the dice odds will come up dirty and you have to be prepared for anything and everything because the only certain way to beat the odds is to NEVER allow the dice to be rolled in the first place. Goblin Slayer's refusal to roll the dice goes to such a great length that it upsets even the gods.

it was a nat 20 on the grapple check vs the nat 1 from the goblins str save
In real life that is true though. Assassins really did use to buy specially made string made from women's long hair to strangle victims from behind. But again it is a specific weapon specially made for the assassination trade. They believed that also getting the strangulation weapon made with the hair of women they knew personally to bring luck. It isn't that different from the old maritime tradition of naming ships after women really.

Elfire II do u know where i can watch the full series
Goblin slayer might as well be guts cousin or something
@@shukaku3822 Don't know if you have already found it or not, but try wco cartoon or anime. They usually have everything on there.
This is probably my favorite scene in the series. Especially the part when Priestess' eyes at 0:33 are just lifeless and full of despair then she looks down and sees Goblin Slayer slowly making his way toward her and the way her eyes fill with life and hope at 0:39 is such an underrated piece of animation.
The power level in this anime is normal. But more badass than most animes out there
It helps it keeps a relatively low-power zone. Unless they have magic weapons, equipment, etc. most warriors are only around as strong as humans in real life. Thus, even big monsters like a hobgoblin or Goblin Champion feel like a big threat. It also forces GS and crew to think through their tactics.
@@narutardkyuubi Even the more powerful and potent figures can't really compare or rival that of a champion. I think it's best to look at it from a DND perspective even the greatest DND character can't be a god by themselves. Goblin slayer as a silver ranked adventurer can be rated probably 15+ for DND levels. Yet with his gear being standard he's pretty weak against enemies of his level. That's something that's quite common. He doesn't like the idea of taking magical items with him in case he loses unless it's something he knows won't be too useful to use, like the teleport scroll.
@@lucielm Yeah, I think the novels also point out that, since he prefers ambushes and slowly wittling down goblin numbers with stealth and indirect methods, he's basically a rogue at heart. However, since their group doesn't have a dedicated tank, GS has to fulfill that role. Like you said, he also brings standard/sub-standard gear since he really doesn't want Goblins to get their hands on some good shit. So, he doesn't keep things like magic rings or amulets that could super-buff a Goblin. Even the Heroine, who is basically the strongest human in GS, would struggle against a Goblin Champion in a 1 on 1 battle.
@@narutardkyuubi I think the ranger class gives some rouge elements to the Goblin Slayer. I remember in Baldur's Gate which was using the ADnD rules which is old as heck. In that game the Ranger class had the ability to use stealth which only the rogue and bard also had access to. So I think for the sake of arguments a Ranger Fighter is honestly the best makeup for this character. It gives him the most versatility with tankiness in case things go bad.
@@lucielm I always give Minsc heavy armour in Baldur's Gate, though. Heavy armour and a heavy weapon. I just ignore most of his ranger abilities, aside from spells.
Love that on goblinslayers last leg, bleeding out and injured on deaths door. Yet he was still intimidated an entire horde of goblins into retreating before collapsing by the priestess.
Super late here, but if you saw a man who is literally wallowing around in his grave, not only nearly strangle a big guy to death, but _punch_ and _rip_ the eye out, to then say "who's next. You? Or you?". I'd be scared shitless
@@zerwardzelaiine7622 That a sign to get out of dodge
2:27 I really wonder how goblin slayer looks like in the eyes of those goblins.
He said it once. He is *their* goblin
(Translated from Goblin): Beware the monster that may come at dusk or dawn, when we are falling to slumber or just rising from slumber. It looks like one of the hated adventurers, but does not smell like one. It does not smell of human, elf, dwarf, metal, or any other enemy. It hides its scent in a familiar mask of goblin, blood, and death, to find us unaware.
It never shows its head from its armor like adventurers often do. It seems to wield terrible magic, caving in our lairs or filling them with fire, water, or poison, depending on its mood. It never shows any misguided mercy, it knows our tricks and suffers none of its victims to live, not even our children. It has plagued Goblinkind in this way for years, continues to do so, and refuses to die or relent.
A lucky few survivors say that when it is at its most dangerous, its eyes glow a demonic red, its limbs twist into tendrils of pure death and darkest shadow, and its brutality is such that some of our greatest Champions and Lords have fled this... this... thing. It tends to make adventurers more deadly just by being around. They say it is only growing stronger and smarter, and it is now accompanied by hated adventurers that are being taught its ways, possibly turned into whatever this fell being happens to be. We don’t know what our enemies did to create this thing, but there could be more in the future.
We only know this monster is celebrated by our enemies. To the Dwarves, it is the Beard-Cutter. To the elves, it is the Orcbolg. To us, it is the Baba-Yaga; the Boogeyman that may come in the night and kill us all. The humans give it its best known name, the name we fear and curse: The Goblin Slayer.
Edit: Wow, so many likes! Thank you everyone!
@@2manybooks733 aw man that was beautiful. I love the "this fell being" part.
@@2manybooks733 where did you find this?
Is0lGregg I made it up, with some inspiration from Tv Tropes’ “The Dreaded” section.

Doomguy got a Nat 20 on his Intimidation on his dice, and caused the dice to give him a Nat 20.

@@epsyblue7714 yeah, a dice with 20 sides
@@lano6150 Thanks.
this one line describes my feelings ODIN IS WITH US
There is a fine line between man and monster
Not only does the Slayer ride the line, he draws strength from both sides
The determination and fury of a man, and the brutal instinct of a monster
"Youre not smart, youre not lucky , but youve got balls ..... Now think with all your balls how to get out of this situation"
this i think is the scene that, after I watched it was like "Oh, now I see the Doom Guy comparisons"
You didn't sense it when he was coming into the cave when he first showed up?
Too angry to die
*THIS SHALL NOT STAND*
I follow manga reader, I see. Both versions of this scene weren't bad tho, so I had no complaints
A monster that goes by name by the goblins’s killer! He who knows no mercy. He who know no sanity. He who knows no weakness but his enemies! He brings forth death in a form of magic onto the most experience know, a hunter who has turned into a Hellhound! Lords runs, Champions quiver, and minions fall to his feet to his trail.
The gods of fate, order, and destiny do not command him. The dark gods of chaos, Chance, and coincidence do not command him. He commands his own fate that not even the great heroes or demon kings can do. He thinks and sees through all tricks. He followed by those hated and taught them his wicked ways. When a goblin, lord or champion, knows they are truly at death’s door is when they see the crimson through his helm. A beast that will continue to hunt until goblinkind is stricken from the world.
The dwarves dubbed him Beard-Cutter, Elves dubbed him Orcbolg, but the name know by all.... Fear, amazed, even ridiculed by other adventurers is.... *Goblin Slayer.*

Doritoman the priest girl probably sees him as a beacon of hope or some shit since he saved her. And to see the beacon get fucked up the way he was sent her into shock
He is literally the only thing keeping her together. As long as he is alive and fighting she has faith she will be ok. The second he goes down, she shattered. The second she saw him stand she was mentally ok again.
0:40 look at her eyes you can literally see just how relieved she is to see him.

This man is the living embodiment of the will to live (or in this case too angry and stubborn to die) and the human spirit.
According to the wiki of this series, that dice throw it that of the Gods deciding whether he'll live or die, and GS's ability is to negate the Gods' roll of the dice in his life and persevere through near death
Even though this was epic, I think I still like it in the manga better
Even better in the light novel.

I AM JUST NOW REALIZING THAT GOBLIN SLAYER IS JUST A HUGE DnD GAME BEING PLAYED BY GODS THIS MAKES IT SO MUCH COOLER

@@warbrain1053 the gods roll the dice... but the goblin Slayer refuses to die,
In my honest opinion, this entire scene would have been way better if it was done in greyscale, with the only colors coming from the characters eyes.
The blood and his red eye of rage would have been the only colors I would have put in the scene
Thats pretty cool, but i always wondered how his left eye glows and affects him, maybe its like a power up from Sans in Undertale?
@@kevynnf.6310 mate...it's an anime. It's not a power up just a graphic effect

Looks up
"Oh high bro!"

This scene is quite a lot more epic when you realize that the glowing red eye of the Slayer means that he made a Critical Roll.
Meaning he literally got in DnD terms a D20 in a death save check and that he rised back with 1 hp.
It's been a year I know but correct me if I'm wrong but the dice kept rolling until the end of the episode and the dice stop when he says "it happens...", so I think that he made a bad roll of dice and died
@@imrelousometimes6287 Could be, to be fair I was referring to this scene in concrete. Didn't have an idea the dice ended up rolling afterwards.
@@zerok8918 it's because on this short video there is not the end of the episode but you can see the dice falling when he falls to the ground
@@imrelousometimes6287 Yeah, could be lol
Except that's wrong. He didn't get a 20. He rolled snake eyes, it's literally shown in the vid. He ignored the roll that said he died, got back up, and killed some more goblins.
1:15 in tabletop rpgs (or any fantasy media) if there is a character that Carry lock of hair usually ppl think it’s a creepy or sentimental memento. Then later something like that plays out and reveal that old man on hence remembering childhood memories is a veteran assassin waiting for you to let your guard down.
Fate: “You’ve rolled a 1, u die here...”
Goblin slayer: “3, take it or leave it”
Fate: Huh, how about 15? It's not a perfect roll, but it should be enough.

I love that little tidbit about human hair. For something in our daily lives, it really is a suprisingly strong substance. If you don't have a sharp knife or scissors, it will not cut. And if you have an entire lock of hair, it will not break, unless under massive amounts of pressure. Your hand will be more likely to break before the hair does. Just as Goblin Slayer show cased.

Everyone says that what makes Goblin Slayer such a good protagonist is that he isn't some all powerful hero, and he isn't expected to save the world. But he, a regular man in a world of demons, monsters, and magic, is the only person that LITERAL GODS cannot control. Like, he is way more than just some angry guy.
I mean, he is always prepared and can improvise which doesn't allow much room to luck, which is how the gods decide everyone's fates, and then he has his immense will and hatred for situations like this one.

What makes a masterpiece? Is it how good something looks? How it sounds? Is it in the writing or the reading? Is it in the emotions it pulls from you?
No
A masterpiece is all this and more. It is effort and hope and love and care. When you truly put everything you are into the making of a thing. That is a masterpiece.
This scene is the culmination of artists, writers, voice actors, and sound designers putting everything they have into a scene not even 10 minutes long. And what for? In 20 years barely anyone will remember this show. In 40 you might not even be able to watch it anymore. Why? Cause it meant something to them. Because they loved what they did. Because they cared.
This is a masterpiece.

"Dying is for Goblins, AND I AM NO GOBLIN!"
This was such a good scene
And yet, is the scene right next to this, after the action stop and only silence remains, that really gave me chills
I believe he did not finished the goblin champion because he couldnt. He was about to lose the grip and pass out so he took the goblins eye and crushed it to intimidate and make them flee before he pass out. Guy got a natural 20 on the intimidation roll
Stop making the punisher mad.
2:25 The most badass moment in all of history.
I like how this isn't age restricted, but the Shield Hero's blood sacrifice is age restricted xD
I didn't notice until watching this a few times, but Cripes he hit that goblin with that shield so hard it got embedded into the stone firmly.
If one would translate this into a GS TRPG action he probably used a Fate point and scored over a 30 and score full on Sixes. In layman's terms: he wanted that goblin extra dead.
0:19 The goblin sounds pretty funny
"Heed my words struggler, struggle, endure contend for that alone is the sword of one who defies death".
Remember, champions are considered to be platinum-level threats
Honestly, him defeating him like he did here while all battered up and getting worse really shows how powerful he is
Not just in skill and strength, but wit and endurance as well
And yet I see some of the stats given to him and wonder how are those the stats they gave to him while you have constitution and wisdom levels that high
The fighter on his final bit of HP rolling a nat 20 on intimidation
In his ravenous hatred he found no peace, and with boiling blood he scoured the ruins seeking vengeance against the goblins who had hurt his party.
And those that tasted the bit of his sword named him:
The Goblin Slayer
They are rage, brutal, without mercy.
But you. You will be worse.

Instead of imagining the Game Rules being different, I like to imagine that the depth and detail put into all of these Character's has given them *some form* of life in some...as of yet 'undiscovered dimension', of sorts.
