It's kinda scary knowing that some goblins can cast magic to deadly effect in this show. It's a good thing the plan was executed together as a group as I can't imagine what would happen if one person tried to attempt to stop those goblins.

Still, this episode had its happier moments and it seems the season loves to dress up the girls in more fancy outfits.

For those wondering why Hero looks different, it's because season 2 is using her LN design.

The hero has a different hair colour and it doesn't look bad on her.
The goblins this time didn't expect the water coming at them but who would have expected that.
Still the party got close to being ended tho, luckily the spell saved them.

Are all goblins' blood impure? Or was this one special somehow? And I suppose Priestess cried because she used the most "pure" miracle she has for killing, while it's actually meant for healing and helping others. But Earth Mother doesn't seem to mind lol.
The elven language in this sounds really like Japanese but with the syllables switched around enough for it to be unintelligible.
Enjoyed this arc. The name of the next episode suggests that it will be a prequel arc, I guess they'll adapt the Year One LN/manga because there are characters from it in the OP.

When Goblin Slayer brings other adventurers to kill goblins very often, they become goblin slayers too, even the priest. Maybe it's his secondary lifegoal, if he can't eradicate all goblins, then he'll change every people into goblin slayers.

I kinda expect Goblin Slayer to wear something nice in the ceremony, but nope, at least he should wear a bow (a red ribbon bow, not a bow and arrow).

The next episode name scares me, look like someone die.

Priestess casting Purify and purifying the blood was one of the best parts of this season.Her looking at the sky with a "What the heck?" look, was fantastic.

That's nice, Goblin Slayer is helping the heroine party, by doing what he does.

Damn! Pretty cool conclusion to the elf forest arc and a nice wedding to top it all off. I can see Goblin Slayer not changing into a tux and tie, but surprised to see Priestess not dressing up for the wedding. I guess her mind was understandably elsewhere, particularly concerned about using her miracle magic for killing. Pretty sure the earth mother doesn’t mind magic being used to protect innocent people, though.

I liked the scenes of Goblin Slayer reassuring her that she’d done well even though it was a traumatic experience. Priestess being able to go on the offensive will make encounters with Goblins even easier for the group, especially ones that can use magic like the Shaman.

I hate that we didn’t get to see who caught the bouquet, lol! Would be funny if all the girls kinda got a hand on it, GS harem ending please πŸ™πŸΎ

Preview for the next episode seems like it’ll be adapting the prequel arc, should be a fun time.

Previous EP has surpassed the translated manga, so by this point manga (only) readers may not know what will happen. That's why, elf ranger given so many death flags this and last EPs are so f*ing unsettling for me. It's good that the flags didn't became a reality (at least not yet in this EP).

Wait, so what's the difference between Miracles and regular magic? GS said to only use Miracles.

It was nice to see how the Goddess reassured the priestess twice this episode, she is doing that with her miracles for the greater good.

Damn. Priestess casting a purification spell and it purifying the unclean goblin's blood was cold as heck. Imagine all of your blood turning into water because you're an impure animal lol. It sounds like a painful way to die...

I guess Priestess was terrified because her Earth Mother seemingly mistook her plead for helping her friends and purified the most impure thing in the vicinity instead. It's almost like the goddess she worshipped was more like a computer program sorting in the order of most impure to less impure.

Or maybe she just said "fuck them goblins" and Priestess is just overthinking things. Either way it's kinda funny.

The wedding happened peacefully. Elves have a comically large lifespan. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be celebrating Elf's nee-san's wedding for centuries.

Next episode title is interesting.

I know it's obvious to the both of them but Dwarf Shaman verbally calling High Elf Archer a friend beyond all their bickering and bantering made me smile. The fact he had to hold back smack talking her at the wedding was great too lmao

Imagine if the bride overshot the laurel ('cause of elf archery instincts or something) and it ended up landing in Goblin Slayer or Lizardbro's hands.

An elevator huh handy for this ruin given its size. The gobs sure know how to pick places for their little rallies. The battle sure got pretty hairy but Priestess sure managed to pull things through by taking out the shaman. Though breaking her vow i think might be an issue. The size of that horde though was surprising. If they had attacked the elf village things would be pretty bad. Nice to see the hero and her team again. The wedding was beautiful. HEA's dress suited her perfectly as did Cow Girls and Guild girls. In the end this arc while still featuring our fav villains also served to allow Gs and the team to relax and learn about the cultures of another race and have fun along the way.

For those who are confused, this is a part of the light novel.

The blood ran down his arm, splattering against the ground in time with the shaman’s footsteps.

Impure.

It was nothing more than an intuition. There was no prompting from the Earth Mother in heaven.
No, it was simply the answer she arrived at out of her own experience, her experience as a weak sixteen-year-old girl adventuring with the man called Goblin Slayer.

Her answer to what she could do. What she should do.

O Earth Mother, abounding in mercy, please, by your revered hand, cleanse us of our corruption!!

And then a miracle happened.

“GORB?!”

By the time he noticed the change, it was too late. The goblin shaman’s blood had been turned to pure water.

“GOBOGGBOGOBOOGOGOBOGOOG?!?!?!”

The goblin shaman howled as if his insides were being shredded.
Priestess thought she felt her very soul rocked by the awful bellow, but it brought her
back to herself.

“Er—ah—ahh…?!”

Her connection to the world above vanished like a cut string, and the world of sound came rushing back into her ears.
This divine act, Purify, must never be used in this way again.

“Ah, ahh…?!”

Something seemed to impact upon her very soul, rattling every fiber of her being. She had done something awful.
The honored Earth Mother, the fount of all compassion and mercy, had accepted this connection with her soul, and she—

“Aaaaarrrrghhh…!”

Priestess let out an agonized scream at what she had done.


The goddess sees all living beings as equal, and she doesn't like her miracles being used this way.
It's.. what most people would think, I don't know if she has compassion towards goblins, but she sure didn't like her miracles being used to inflict pain on others.

More goblin slaying for Goblin Slayer and his party locating the spellcaster to be eliminated first, and despite the flashbacks, Goblin Slayer arms the group with better equipment and recovery potions, as the goblins are routed with the Tunnel spell to flood the castle and drown them out. Consider this matter settled.

As the elven wedding goes underway, the festivities assume thereafter. But Goblin Slayer seeing himself as an incompetent sibling to Cow Girl, High Elf Archer reassures him and wants Priestess to bless the newly-wedded couple, which she does and has the blessings heard. As Archer's sister's flower hair ornament is thrown like a baton to the next girl, life assumes in the elven village.

A rather amicable ending.

Best priest is just gonna have to understand better she is a warrior priest with the earth mothers blessing! She seemed unsteady after realsing she basically just used a kill spell. Which was rather cool. Loved it. Lets go, more golbins are sure to be needing slain. Also we might be entering a goblin slayer squuiverse as people were fighting weird monsters in what seemed to reference another place as they mention above and seemed to reference the actions of MC and his group. Squeeee.

To what started as a vacation time for Goblin slayer and his crew saw the familiar conclusion of merciless goblin slaying while capping off on a peaceful note. Though the priestess might have a reality check in the midst of all the mess, but good to see she regained her composure not too long after that.

By the way, hella based of Goblin slayer to attend the wedding in his usual attire lol.

The episode did a terrible job explaining what happened with the Purify spell. Disappointing. I think the LN implies the Earth Mother sent her a telepathic message not to use Purify to cleanse blood again. They could have easily done that to convey what just happened.

@Zolmir What about when she used the barrier spell to trap the Goblin King? If miracles aren't meant to be used offensively, the goddess didn't seem to care about.

Or is it just specifically about the purifying the blood, which doesn't make sense in the grand scheme of things.

@EtherSword Yes, it is a bit inconsistent, but the idea is that the Purify spell is not meant to be used offensively.

A nice final episode to this elf wedding arc, or elf village arc or whatever you want to call it lol. The confrontation with the goblins on the roof seemed like it might be another good ol fashion goblin slaying time once again, but not before the shaman pulled out the black smog attack that nearly caused the party defeat. However, the priestess wasn’t caught in the attack as much as the others and she thankfully managed to save everyone with a very cool use of the purify spell we saw before, this time she summoned the hands of god and turned the shaman’s blood into water which temporarily knocked him out, that was pretty metal lol, almost reminds me of a scene from Indiana Jones.

The priestess was pretty shook by that but the Goblin Slayer assured her that she did good, and I gotta say I wasn’t expecting them to defeat the goblins by flooding the rooftop but it’s not the craziest thing to happen in this show lol. And once that was done it was finally time for the wedding which seemed like a good time, I especially liked seeing the babes in their party dresses, elf archer had the best look tho imo. And lastly, we saw the hero and her party for what I think was the first time this season, and I’m ngl I’m so glad the show isn’t about her lol, what she’s doing just looks very plain by comparison to the epic goblin slaying, but I do like that we get to see what she’s doing from time to time.

I wonder why she cried, like, is it considered a sin using miracles to kill or what? (but the spell reversed at the end anyway so the effect was more like a long stun)

She cried because she committed such a great heresy that her God had to step in and scold her.
Basically the Earth Mother cancelled the spell that's why it didn't kill the goblin.
And also told Priestess she can't use her spells like that.
This was the first time she tried to kill with healing magic directly. All other instances were indirect kills and were a gray area.

Apparently, Priestess continues with her trauma about what happened in the first episode of season one.

@EtherSword I honestly don't get it either. Priestess is fine with assisting with the murder of thousands of goblins. When it comes to directly killing them she flips out

She also used barrier to block the entrance of a fort Goblin Slayer set on fire before, so they won't escape.

SHE IS NOT JUST A PRIESTESS, SHE IS A QUEEN ❀️❀️❀️

The comments here explained really well why Priestess began to cry after hurting the goblin, I understood what was happening but yeah, as an adaptation this was really bad, all they had to do was to show in some way the fact Earth Mother actually told her directly that what she did was bad, but since it was silent it got a bit confusing.

And the Hero will return? I hope it happens soon, that's kinda hype.

Anyways, I loved to see chad Lizardman proposing out of nowhere, he is the only one in the party that can actually live with Elf for hundreds of years, it makes a lot of sense, and being from different species doesn't mean anything in this world, so why not? If goblins go around raping humans and having babies with them, I say let our lizard boy bang the elf lmao

Oh, and even if it's horrible, I always laugh at the fact that goblins completely stop fighting in the middle of a fkng war so they can try and rape some victim, horny ass mfks should use the single neuron they have and wait until they have completely won lol

Jesus lmao that's one hell of a death flag raised.

"May the next love and affection go to the maidens fated for death" -flashes to the four women in the party-

Hope I'm wrong though! I also really like how they casually talk about the passage of time being so different for Elves. Like how they partied for three days, left and even after some time passed are STILL celebrating the wedding or how their journey that can span years only feels like only like two or three days to them.

I'm going to ship the Hero to Goblin Slayer now... 🀣🀣🀣 lmao
For me, I prefer the original art style of the Hero, Hero... (These names are weird...)

P.S. I can't believe the Sword Maiden is the one who actually gives information to Hero. This is a nice development.

Another thing. The Hero isn't in the S1 or S2's character lists... lol
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Compared to everyone else Elf Ranger was badly beaten up with her whole dress tattered.
She is my favorite this season with her upbeat personality and kindness.
Also surprised how little damage the party took while being knocked out by a spell.

Priestress as MVP was nice.

That was a nice wedding, these peaceful scenes still are quite unusual for the show.
