| What a surprise the kid is the little bro of that mage girl who got killed in S01ep01... Still he is very annoying |
Reply to rygrath
@Neptune_000 No. The kid is a trope that did not belong to this story and is poorly written. Do you have any idea what would happen to a kid talking like that to any period warrior/knight/viking/etc? He'd be bitch slapped into oblivion to remind him to show some freaking respect. NO kid spoke that way back then for good reason.
Insufferable barely scratches the surface of how poorly written his interactions are to fit in a trope. Its enough for me to drop this season if it continues, cant stomach it, just forced annoyance that S1 did not have. Even his very first appearance. He straight up rammed into a priest on a wide road and just essentially flipped them the bird. No. Just no. The fact he was able to leave that scene walking is beyond me.
Nah the kid sucks as a trope for this series and the whole trope does not fit. Giving it one more episode for either an abrupt 180 or he just dies off and dropped from the story. The forced tragic story is a hackjob. None of this was in S1 and it was better for it.
TLDR: Kid has to go

| @rygrath yeah my thoughts excatly, he ruins any story there is since it all f centered about him. Show called goblin slayer but right now its Red Wizard boy that is the f main, and then add the drop in quality of the shows graphic, plus so many up in the face shots so they do not have to do surroundings, making the flow of the show feel very gritty and bad. |

Just a thought,but wouldn't it be cool if Goblin Slayer has some sort of mental episode from this and mistakes the kid for a goblin?
Just thinking out loud is all :)

| If that's the case, then it's more suitable that it tells the story of when he first started being an adventurer. But his village was attacked by goblins, his sister was tortured and killed before his eyes, he was trained by goblin, and then he hunted goblins his whole life, so I think it would be weird if that happened. |
| Holy moly, this episode was awesome! Several minutes of slaying goblins. That troll added even more epicness to the battle itself, haha. Damn, so the annoying brat really did look familiar for the Priestess before, back in the first episode. His sister was a member of the very same party to whom the Priestess also belonged during that tragic quest when all members but one were killed. Poor Goblin Slayer. Hearing about someone suffering similar fate and about many adventurers still considering "losing to a mere goblin" as a sign of inferiority and a reason to laugh at such person... these things must've been really hard pills to swallow by Goblin Slayer. |
| after the movie, the show kind of felt stale, like what's he gonna do next? Kill goblins? But the end of this one with the reflection of his sister might cause him to change his ways a bit. |

| Read hair needs to die. :3 |

| I did not see that connection coming. I mean, the 4 years gap doesn't help either. |

| @JeruKs FYI I was being sarcastic,as if he did mistake the kid for a goblin,the kid wouldn't be around to winge so much ;) And,another FYI,as for who trained Slayer-san,I take it you mean Burglar? - If so,he isn't a goblin,he is a Rhea. |

| "we are trapped, damn it" dude literally created the whole situation for his party and still has the guts to complain, what an annoying kid. |

| Well, I hope that wizard got a lesson to learn and does not stay on the party... |
| The redhead boy had a sister, that was killed by goblins and she was.... kekeke |
| The girl who was poisond in the first ep was his sister what a plot twist and the fact that Goblin Slayer killed his sister to end her suffering thats deep |
 |
| This episode was much better than the last one, but the direction of the fight scenes felt a bit off to me, not the biggest fan of this change honestly. Either way, we got some Goblin killing this episode, which is always more exciting! But for real, that red hair kid is SO ANNOYING. He could have had himself and the team killed, and he's just so annoying. I really hope he has a massive character development or just disappears. The team managed to complete the mission and save that adventurer. At the end, it was revealed this wizard kid is actually the little brother of the girl mage of the priest's 1st party, which for me came as a surprise because I didn't connect the dots at all. It makes sense now why the Priestess recognized him. And it does seem that affected her a lot too, bringing up hurtful memories from that traumatic event (even I had my own trauma from that 1st episode remembered , and it has been 5 years). Now, I was a bit confused with Goblin Slayer's reaction. First, I like how they are giving him more human traits, character development is always appreciated. But I didn't really understand if he was having hurtful memories and having a mental breakdown because he wasn't able to save the Priest's party back then, and had to kill the kid's sister to put her out of her misery, or was it because, just like the red-haired wizard wasn't able to protect his older sister from the goblins, Goblin Slayer was also not able to protect his sister from the Goblins back when he was a child? It really makes me wonder what was the reason, maybe both? I think we will get an answer to that next episode, but 1st I'll need to watch the said movie, because apparently the volumes 3 and 4 of the Light Novel will just be forgotten. |
| Sheesh the wizard kid was so annoying. Hopefully we won't get to see more of him anymore |
| شقایق، اینجا من، خیلی غریبم |
| Never thought GS would take that heavily. It wasn't entirely his fault and couldn't do anything. We all know it was noob party's fault that got them and fall into demise. In adventuring swinging a sword or casting a spell isn't enough to help you but preparation and adapting in some situations. Despite the wizard brat's failure to obey commands and go out on his own, the GS and the rest we're able to handle it. |
| Priestess's first adventure concludes. Troll becomes stone'dzo. |
 |
| I feel like you need some kind of dysmorphia to keep thinking you haven't done anything.. like them body builders that don't feel their bodies are good enough. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Bummer they stopped showing nudity in the manga the adventure strapped to the chair is naked lol not fully clothed also there's tons of blood in the show but they didn't even show her having her fingers chopped off. It went harder in the manga!! |

| This episode just showed that Goblin Slayer won't stop until the last goblin is erased from Earth |
| Can a goblin pretty please murder that damned wizard? |
| My dude, a party is key to having a better and safer adventure. Now the red-haired kid is getting on my nerves. He doesn’t know anything, and he’s acting like he knows better than people who have far more experience than him. His actions are so incredibly reckless. What an annoying character to have at the beginning of this season! |

Reply to DarkDooM2
That was a bit disappointing. Not just the nudity but even the gore got censored. I thought this season would be better than the first.
| @DarkDooM2 IIRC, the gore is true to the LN in the anime. I believe she "only" had nails hammered in her fingers. Maybe the mangaka chose to cut them off because it seems less graphic. (For example, I'd go for amputations over open fractures any day of the week, imo.) |
| Arrogance and ignorance runs in the family. The brat is a jerk, his sister died because she was arrogant and didn't take goblins seriously just like him. |
 |
| Oh man. Suddenly the past return to haunt you. |
| Maaan.. this mage brat is such a fool. Always rushing, not hearing any advices from his group, ugh. |
| It was to expected that the red-haired boy makes mistake after mistake, hopefully he learned something from that. Aside from that it was some nice goblin slaying, seems like the priestess is not ready to be a leader though. |
| Another low ranked adventurers fell victim to goblins. As per the usual with this show. For some reason this show just refuses to grow and develop. Why are they still sending low rankers to take on goblins? And these places where goblins congregate, shouldn't there be like an association or agency whatever that destroys them? Then goblins will be forced to camp out in the open where they will be easily seen. And after goblin slayer and his gang clears up these goblin nests, what they just leave em there so goblins will camp in them again after some time? And the characters are all the same too tf none of them has grown. Nothing fucking changed. You know with these fantasy worlds, 99% of their problems would be solved if they just used common sense. Like these adventurers that kill monsters? If us modern humans are in their place, we would've hunted every single one of them to extinction. Man, this show is really frustrating. |

| Middle of the episode I was thinking to just drop second season and go read manga instead but Ending made it little more interesting, I am hooked for next episode |
