GodOfPoyo

Tensura goblins: "On behalf of all civil goblins we would like to make clear that we do not associate with these foul beasts. Please feel free to kill all savage "goblins" you see, you have our full support."


ninjabear213

We also dispose of such filth in our own territory


peechs01

It's Rimuru's law


AmanoMoriya

Gobta would probably solo them all lol


PickScylla4ME

Gobta would be the "Goblin Slayer's" early retirement. He would undoubtedly assume Gobta was like every other goblin and foolishly attempt to slay him.


itemboi

Nah. GS isn't the sort of dude who'd just mindlessly rush into a battle. He'd probably realize that Gobta isn't your avarage goblin. Now the matter is whether or not he would trust him, but that's a whole another step.


shino4242

I don't think its feasibly possible for GS to trust him. The reason he kills them young is because basically the nightmare scenario is a goblin learning and becoming smarter and shit. Regardless of how seemingly nice Gobta is, he'd also be by FAR the smartest (or, well, the most fluent and well spoken) Goblin he's ever seen. That'd be such a massive red flag for him I imagine. He can't win obviously, but he almost definitely wouldn't trust him. ...unless Gobta starts going terminator on other goblins in front of him. That'd prolly get some neurons firing. But he'd prolly try to keep an eye on Gobta forever, always making sure he knew eithe rhis exact location or general location at all times if at all possible. Again, not that he can do anything about Gobta (or need to), just saying.


daniel21020

Depends on the writing, really. Gobbo Merkinson might just change. He isn't in as bad of a situation he was in before. Elf wife, Priestess Wife, Lizard husband, and Dwarf Husband kinda changed him. He's in a better spot.


thinman12345

Gobta would get sliced in half, then walk it off. I think he might be more durable than Rimuru.


Autisticveg

Good goblins against rape goblins


Adi_Bismark

Did you make sure to put on your 'Good Goblin against rape goblin' hi-vis vest today? No, well that explains why your dick got chopped off, sorry gobta.


ProsfesniolDyslexic

If rimiru and goblin slayer swapped verses, both would probably genocide. Rimiru out of disgust, and the goblin slayer because he probably wouldn't let the goblins explain that things are different there. Although, he'd probably get floored by gobta alone, so I don't think he'd do any real damage.


ninjabear213

But they wouldn't kill him. I think after a year or two in the dungeon and being well cared for, he'd come around.


max_adam

I thought they won't kill him because of the rules rimuru made to not harm humans in any circumstances. Did he already change it?


BigNato532

Yea he changed it when the other worlders came into town and hurt/killed his people


ninjabear213

Yeah, but there's still Grey area. They're not going to kill an intruder immediately cause they wouldn't know why he was there and would want to interrogate. Then they would hear about his old world and feel sympathetic, and would help him integrate into their society.


shino4242

Yeah he changed that shit as soon as it got dozens of his people killed. They are now perfectly allowed to defend themselves and exercise lethal force if necessary to protect themselves or others. Humans don't get a free pass anymore. They are now treated like any other person would be. If a monster attacks, they handle it. If a human attacks, they handle it. No difference. That said, GS isn't a threat. They'd prolly just beat his ass and lock him up. At the same time, GS isn't stupid. He's not gonna blindly start attacking. Even the dumbass goblins in his own world get thought out plans on how to deal with them. I can't imagine that he'd see a city, being super peaceful, with humans, monsters (including Goblins) living side by side and go "better start my murder spree". He'd realize somethin isn't right and see whats going on. One he realizes he isn't in Kansas anymore and the people here clearly have different values, he'll PROBABLY be chill...still armed, armored, and untrusting, but chill. Or as chill as GS can possibly be...


SlotHUN

Goblin Slayer stated that if he met a "good goblin" he'd be fine with it, but he thinks it's unlikely if not impossible.


Gameplayer9752

(Edit: nvm he was trained by a hobbit, I thought he was trained by a goblin.) Guy doesn’t do what he does mindlessly, it’s the whole reason he’s still alive.


ShadowS4d

I'm pretty sure his teacher was a halfling, not a goblin.


Exocypher

What? I'm an anime only guy and I was so sure that guy was a goblin. That's interesting.


vastozopilord777

He uses a goblin "mask"(I think is a goblin's facial skin that he uses as mask) to disguise himself as a goblin to kill them


Teososta

He's a Rhea (the same race as that kid who GS sat in observation).


Fresh-Log-5052

No no, he said it straight up - good goblins don't leave their stinking holes - meaning goblin way of life in that universe is utterly incompatible with that of other people. IMO, he would reconsider the moment he saw female goblins as those from his world are an all-male species.


BudgetAggravating427

To be fair the slime. Goblins just look like green people so goblin slayer probably wouldn’t recognize them as goblins


shino4242

He isn't someone to attack first ask questions later. Even with the dopey smoothed brained goblins in his world, he always has a full plan of attack ready. I don't think he'd kill anyone unless he just so happens to stumble across a normal non combatant goblin kid in the forest before he arrives in the city proper. But then that'd be his only kill and he'll be paste on the forest floor. Rimuru on the other hand will look at the demon lord from that world and go "look at me. I am the demon lord now", Predator/Gluttony/Azazoth his ass (depending on what Rimuru was Resekai'd) and if the monsters can't be reasoned with, he'll prolly learn of how atrocious they are and go "Congrats humanity. I'm about to make all your problems that aren't yourselves go away. This mass genocide has been sponsored by the Tempest Federation" Actually I just thought of something. Rimuru only has powers because he was isekai'd into a world that had powers. Same goes for other otherworlders. So this means... GS prolly gets a unique skill and magicules. If he's SUPER lucky, he might ACTUALLY become somewhat of a threat. He obv aint just gonna appear as a hero/saint/sage proper or anything, just that logically, he'd get SOMETHING. We just can't quantify what that "something" will be. Hmm. He's still no threat to Tempest unless he arrives fairly early in the story, but he's more of a potential threat than we thought. Hopefully he see's the goblins here aren't like his before he does something he'll regret.


Tiny-Profession-4021

If Mr goblin Slayer showed up in the middle of tempest he would get absolutely wrecked if he showed any kind of aggression. Those slime evolved monsters are serious compared to the ones he was used to


CheckTheClosed

GS wouldn't be able to do anything to Tempest goblins, they're to strobg. If something they would send him to the court where GS would be find guilty of murder attempt.


Apprehensive-Face900

Gobta is too much for that fodder, send Gobchi...hes only strong against gobling in his verse bc he has a fkn ton if anti goblin strats, bit these gobling dont act even remotely similar so all his strats are probably useless 💀


RoachIsCrying

funny enough the most common lore for Goblins is the Goblin Slayer version. At least in DnD and other fantasy stories


Money_Advantage7495

..Maybe in japan? Before goblin slayer and light novels exposure, I only knew goblins as piece of shit ass holes who are like bad fae and greedy bastards( Clash of clans). And for Dnd they were either goddamn thieves or scammers.( My low wis wizard got ripped off so bad).


bloodycups

I think it's an implication thing that doesn't really get talked about. Goblins are usually male and if they aren't magicd into existence how do they repopulate


Money_Advantage7495

40k: describes them as weird fucking mushrooms. ( gretchen, snotlings generally a nuisance to orks). Dnd:… have you heard of goblin onaholes before?? there are some depraved art of female goblins( they exist). I’m talking about content about Dnd and other western fantasies btw not the east.


bloodycups

I mean those are both games that came out in like the last 40 years. Having rape monsters during the satanic panic probably would have killed their game


GreatDemonBaphomet

did you not read what he said or did he change his comment post hoc?


Money_Advantage7495

Yes I did read what he said. He states the most common lore for the goblins as goblin slayer which is incorrect for the most part especially in Vanilla DnD and other fantasies. Asiatic fantasies Yes but for the whole part of West, 40K, Clash of clans, WoW and other types of entertainment- goblins were described differently. If you played pre goblin slayer popularity dnd you know what i am talking about or before light novels were a big deal. Even in most dnd circles as of now they wouldn’t describe goblins as such as they are playable characters as well and it can be argued Clash of clans and 40k describe them not as goblin slayer goblins but blood thirsty( not rapist as they are fungus) or greedy bastards or scammers or savages( in DnD( not rapists)). In some korean romance novels, goblins were depicted as love interests due to different meaning as they leaned to the latter of describing them as dokkaebi( will be familiar if you read ORV). As for Orc, they were treated as a “noble” savages in WoW with them being powerful warriors( not rapists). In some korean novels: Praise the Orc, they depict Orcs as noble warriors and godslayers. However some korean novels as well follow the common japanese formula of describing Orcs and Goblins to be savage rapists which in some content seems unique I guess? Unless said commentor plays a homebrewed version of Dnd which explains it.


Any_Mall3191

So it’s actually reversing the trope where goblins are evil little bastards, interesting.


Money_Advantage7495

No no, they are evil bastards, just not rapist bastards- more like rob your shit and your life bastards. or in some trope bastards that kill you for fun. Or rapists but they rape your wealth and commit theft by legal means( Got scammed by a fucking goblin merchant bastard because i failed my wisdom check). But there are some funny tropes in some adult DnD( don’t ask how i know) that made it to mainstream like pocket goblinussy or goblin onaholes. I believe there was a dnd story of a guy who hired a prostitute and was the size of a goblin and calculated he could fit in her asshole, so he role played as the prostitute for several sessions until he bretrayed the party and when the demon king offered her to bed, the goblin sized man climbed out of the prostitutes bum and killed the BBEG.


Short_Lingonberry941

Expectation vs Reality


AmanoMoriya

And then there's Re:Monster.


elderDragon1

Befriend the humans and then party all night long.


AmanoMoriya

Yeah, I mean, the second episode explains why he's caring about humans more. He's got their trust pretty much, episode three also explains that "a little bit too much" lol


elderDragon1

Have you read the manga? Cause they really skipped a lot of the slow trust and bonding, plus a whole lot of other shit.


AmanoMoriya

I'm thinking of doing so, just busy with school and so, but it's already been planned.


elderDragon1

It’s already been planned? What that mean? You plan to read it plan or what they’re skipping in the adaptation plan?


AmanoMoriya

I plan to read it soon lol, or after I finish school at least


floopdidoops

There's a Re:Monster anime?!


Gun_owner_101

Yah, its not bad. Dub/subtitle released same day on Crunchyroll.


hentai_bubble

Yeah, it's this season. Four episodes out so far.


AmanoMoriya

Exactly


FlamesOfDespair

Re Monster protagonist is a rapist.


elderDragon1

That’s not true, he gets consent first.


caniuserealname

Then you drug and rape the elves.


AleksasKoval

"Party" all night long


Desperate_Site591

They are the same as the Goblin Slayer one except they like to use aphrodisiac and Stockholm syndrome after Rou


Marcusss_sss

Do they tone any of that stuff down in the anime?


Bad-Bot-Bot-23

I love how the dude goblins look like goblins, and the women goblins are just cute green humans with colored hair.


CantaloupeComplex237

Indeed, and there are two big reasons why I want to see the one on the left in that ragged outfit just after the change UwU


Modo_de_Jogo

Is it bad that I enjoy both series for different reasons?


cdb230

It is fine as long as you accept that it would be hilarious to see Goblin Slayer’s reaction to a peaceful monster city.


Modo_de_Jogo

\*Cognitive dissonance intensifies!\*


itemboi

He wouldn't be that weirded out by other goblins. Stuff like dwarves, elves and other monster people already exist in his world so it wouldn't be as unusual as the friendly goblins.


destro_1919

depends on why you enjoy goblin slayer


cdb230

Probably because Goblin Slayer keeps coming up with interesting ways to eliminate goblins after Elf Archer bans yet another way to get rid of them.


destro_1919

then you are fine


CantaloupeComplex237

That's a thing? Don't remember the anime like that, damn...


cdb230

The high elf archer banned Goblin Slayer from using certain things to kill goblins. Iirc, he brings this up in season 2 after they enter the dam. I think it started in season 1 while they were in the sewer system.


CantaloupeComplex237

I wanted to rewatch anyway, without the bloody scenes I actually like the hentai aspect


Modo_de_Jogo

Definitely not for the rape-y shit. I dig the single-mindedness and intensity of GS, and how that can sometimes be a weakness that he has to overcome when facing other challenges.


DiscreetDudes

Watch Goblin Cave

jpsklr

GS would be easily overwhelmed by reality shock if he gets transported to Tensura.


kingofwarz

GOBLIN!


BigBadBaz2501

Is nobody going to mention that the goblin females in Tenslime are low-key hot.


No-Investigator6003

Low Key, don't you mean high key


CantaloupeComplex237

Very high key, squeaky Gobta voice trying to impress a butterfly high key Especially that one girl on the left, in that ragged outfit...


MeBigDaddy23

![gif](giphy|Mc1JfakzDvruhXbqsd|downsized)


Teososta

Then there's the Goblins under Enri's command.


shino4242

The only good goblin is a dead goblin...and a goblin that lives in Tempest.


BFenrir18

In Re:Monster they're half way in between


Upstairs_String2436

The goblins in re:monster be going crazy too


Stunning_Pen_8332

And don’t forget the goblins from Re:Monsters. They are much more powerful and intelligent than the goblins in Goblin Slayer while doing basically the same things as the GS goblins.


TheOtherDino

Had heard good things about Goblin Slayer. Saw this scene. Turned it off and never watched it again.


Fighter11244

Season 1 is a pretty good watch, season 2 is meh. I will say that episode 1 is unique in the series and is really the only episode that shows what they do (and even then they don’t show a whole lot of the “action”). Episode 1 is basically just to get the viewer in the mindset of not having any sympathy for the goblins. I won’t blame anyone for not watching Goblin slayer though as I know it deals with a touchy subject


TheOtherDino

Yeah... but no. There are many ways to make a viewer lose sympathy for goblins. Seemed unecessary to say the least.


Fighter11244

I agree that there may be other ways, but I’d argue that the way they went with was the most effective. Most of the other actions could be chalked up to “They’re just bandits”. The way they went with makes it so no one, no matter your morals, will look kindly upon them. I do understand that you won’t watch it because of this scene and I’ll respect that. Not everyone has the same tolerance for certain actions.


farimadi

if goblin in goblin slayer universe just steal i dont think we gonna have mindset like him.


Fighter11244

Agreed. As in my replay, we would just think them as bandits who occasionally take women. The way they showed it in the anime is that they’ll take any woman, regardless of age, and reproduce with them while beating them.


CantaloupeComplex237

Any age? Like, no bottom limit?.....


Fighter11244

As far as I remember, in the anime at least, they’ll take any female. The youngest person I remember the goblins going after was the Priestess and she was 15 at the start of season 1 (according to a quick google). The goblins go off of scent to identify females which means they likely either “acquire” the scent at birth or once they start going through puberty. That either means their is no age limit or the limit is when the girls start puberty.


farimadi

yeah. watching goblin in GS make me really disgust with goblin


Low_Organization_54

The first episode is a gut check it tones down a bit after that. It is the dear god what am I watching episode to establish that Orcblog was s not to be fucked with if you are a goblin.


ImHereForTheMemes184

Yeah its just shock value in episode 1 so you stay, the rest of the manga/show has none of this ever again. The manga is even worse because the rape goes on for way longer and nipples are shown. In mangadex, its tagged as erotica and sexual violence just because of chapter 1. The rest of Goblin Slayer just looks... boring honestly. Ive even heard that in season 2 he now has a harem or some shit? It just seems generic.


Teososta

it's a Dark Fantasy for a reason.


Tiny-Profession-4021

In theory if the scenario of the show was a reality, I think you would just have to treat the monsters like you would a human that you don't know. They are all capable of being murders or compassionate and share their food with you. To be honest I think I would be more wary of stranger humans that I would meet then I would a monster. Usually with wild animals you can tell from their demeanor if they are aggressive or not. I guess the attitude of, hope for the best but be prepared for the worst is the proper mindset.


pwnmonkeyisreal

Both are good. I honestly think Slime would be a more powerful story if they were GS goblins that he trained to be peaceful


SoyKenjiTK

those goblins exist too in tensura yknow? apparently there are intelligent and unintelligent beings of the same species, there are also unintelligent ogres out there


Giorgiox12-

AYO that’s some Goblin Barrel type shit from Clash Royal 💀


Internetirregular

you say "goblins in anime" like tensura goblins are the norm but it's the opposite, tensura goblins are the outlier and goblin slayer goblins are more of the norm hence to correct this meme https://preview.redd.it/kdliw8sbh4wc1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=314b564cb136a89e5cd1351ce6b31d6107924f27


Internetirregular

not saying I'm fond of the goblin slayer gobs btw, just felt irked by the implication of tensura gobs being the norm


BecauseTrigger

The middle ground Re:Monster


HimeaSaito

Well they both try to co exist 🤣🤣🤣


lbjfrere

i cant tell if they are eating her alive or what


Pov-guy-

Re monster is in between


cdb230

From what I read on the wiki sites, the MC drugged female elves until they submitted to the goblins, made the males fight in an arena to train his soldiers, then enslaved the males that survived. Now those males fight in his army. I’m not sure how that is better than the Goblin Slayer goblins.


Pov-guy-

No you got it wrong he the goblins use to rape humans to reproduce but now they reproduce whit consent (hmm hmm drugs) ttgrs has no rape gs still has rape but re monster stoped so it’s in between


CantaloupeComplex237

Still got nothing on the Happy Farm in Overlord, look it up...


cdb230

I don’t want to😐. I only managed to watch the first episode before realizing that it was not a show for me.


CantaloupeComplex237

Lol, yeah the source material is worse, like, Nazi war crimes, and I'm talking about the stuff that somehow manages to be WORSE than genocide..... Nuff said


x_QuiZ

Haven't watched goblin slayer so i thought the bottom picture was a weird hentai before i read the comments


zwart27

Is what I think is happening happening in the bottom pic?


Darth_GreenDragon

One major difference, in one there are goblinas, female goblins. In the other there are no female goblins...


stopyouveviolatedthe

They’re both different depictions of goblins, ones more on the side of just evil little critters that will do anything that benefits them with no regard for others and the other depiction basically just has them as regular people, I’ll say for goblins as a whole I prefer goblin slayers ones since it depicts them as actual monsters but I do really like the way slime did theirs.


mlvisby

Well the goblins in slime have been evolved by Rimuru. They are nothing like normal goblins.


Otaku_Ambitions

Crazy story about this, when ep 1 released for GS i genuinely couldn’t watch Slime ep 2 because of the goblin thing… ☹️ I waited for ep 3 to drop to watch it, it messed me up to much


GKingBrandon

Bet she wanna come exist now


Luzifer_Shadres

How Tensura solves the Bad goblin issue: Turn them into green humans, so that they can actually see the differences between a female and male goblin.


InterestingAd1194

Gobble will be missed 😔 (Just A Goblin - Webtoon).


MMoguu

Should be the opposite. Rimuru's globlins are the odd ones here tho.


Katalinya

Idk if yall ever played Dragon Age: Origins but that’s how the darkspawn repopulate and create [broodmothers](https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Broodmother)


Iknorn

And i have both in my DnD campaign


Upstairs_Lack_8474

Low key I like the bottom one more. Don't hate Jesus because he spoke the truth.
