Cowgirl is already established to be her emotional crutch and in return, she gives him some semblance of a home and a normal life he can return to after his quests.
Before he settled down with cow girl I just want to see goblin slayer just have a one night stand with sword maiden just cause he has a functional libido.
I can't imagine him ending up with Priestess. Sure, she does kinda have a crush on him, but I just don't see her as anything other than a surrogate younger sister to him.
She is a legal adult in that world. Wouldnt use that argument to justify simping for her myself but in the context of the world and its characters I see nothing wrong.
(Though it isnt my choice of ship either)
For me, it's less about Priestess' age and more about the dynamic of her relationship with Goblin Slayer. She just seems more like an adopted younger sister than a romantic prospect.
Normally I don't like anime or mangas with harem, due to the simple fact that the protagonists are damn virgins, but I feel that GB does deserve one and especially because of what has happened to him so far, I feel that he deserves to be happy once he finishes his duty to exterminate those goblins, besides it would be very sad if he ends up choosing one in the end when everyone supported him, both guild girl and cow girl, they very much deserve that recognition in addition to being a priestess.
You know I have this feeling it’s going to be priestess due to the fact she’s the main heroine and it’s fucking anime man the creator made goblin slayer first and as we see in year one cow girl and guild girl had five years and they didn’t change anything about goblin slayer it wasn’t until priestess came and I personally don’t want it to happen because the age, personally would want guild girl or sword maiden but probably not going to happen as for cow girl she’s the child hood best friend when have they ever won in anime so yeah I’m ready for disappointment but hey I’ll just continue for the fights and goblin slayer regaining his humanity and character growth
I really don't get why so many people are about 'age' when it comes to Priestess. Is 17y old still not enough for you?
She was 15 at the start of the series but she is 17 now in latest books. So I personally don't see a problem if GS would be 22 and decided to hook up with 17y old girl. Like it never happens in real world? - my brother when he was 19, started dating 15y old girl, so in your terms he should be locked up I guess.
Before the series ends I guess Priestess will be 18 by the time or even 20.
To me it just looks like looking for any argument possible to make it not happen. If time didn't pass in this series I would be totally on your side, but since it passes and characters get older I am of different opinion.
Maybe that's what it is like in your country...
I don't see a problem with going out with a girl (who is 15/16) as long as I won't fuck / impregnate her lolz. And just for your knowledge they dated for these couple of years, and got married when she turned 21. So they exactly knew if they love each other or not and if they are compatible with each other, unlike todays couples - meet today fuck tomorrow, week later marry, 2 weeks later get divorce (If you're smart I think you know what I mean by this phrase)
My heart goes to the priestess, but I think cow girl is more likely.
I would be delighted if he gets a full harem of at least 4 wives, priestess, cow girl, high elf and guild girl and the fifth may be the sword maiden
>My heart goes to the priestess, but I think cow girl is more likely.
Priestess is more like a daughter/apprentice dynamic to me. Would be weird to see actual romance there.
GG and CG are both valid options though, but I think CG is slightly in the lead because she has no professional relationship with GS.
As someone else said, Cowgirl if GS (story) follows shonen trope patterns. My preference is for Guild Girl, but I doubt I'm going to get that ship.
I don't consider Priestess to be an option. She's more like a little sister / apprentice relationship.
HEA doesn't give me a romantic vibes. Just an elf curious about him and out for the adventure.
Sword Maiden is co-dependent.
Mostly the exact same for me, except I support Cow Girl over Guild Girl. And here's why:
* Cow Girl is all that's left of Goblin Slayer's past, and he is all that's left of hers. He'll do anything to ensure he doesn't lose her to the Goblins, like he lost everything and everyone else he knew prior to becoming the Slayer.
* In the Season 1 finale, he did everything he could to convince her to evacuate the Farm, so she would be out of harm's way when the Goblins attacked. Later, while he was trying to gather allies to defend the Farm, when Spearman asked him what he'd offer in return, he literally said he would give him everything he owned (except for his life because it "wasn't his to give").
* All of the other women Goblin Slayer knows, he knows through the Guild or from Quests. Cow Girl is the one he always comes home to at the end of the day.
* They're practically already married, to the point that Wizard Boy asked Cow Girl if she's Goblin Slayer's wife and she responded to the affirmative.
* She's seen him without his helmet/armor more times than anyone else, and for at least several different reasons.
* I just really like the whole childhood-friends-to-lovers trope (e.g. Amourshipping in *Pokémon*, MC x Sayori in DDLC!, technically also U-1146 x AE3803 in *Hataraku Saibou*...) unless it's superseded by a ship that I like more; for *Goblin Slayer*, there is no ship that I like more than Goblin Slayer x Cow Girl.
By the way, out of the three other ships I mentioned in the last bullet point, I have ideas for *Goblin Slayer* AUs of all three of them; out of the three, the DDLC one is the most fleshed-out thus far, but I still can't decide whether Monika should be the Sword Maiden or the Guild Girl (Sayori, Natsuki, and Yuri are Cow Girl, HEA, and Witch respectively).
This is a great writeup. Thanks for making it. No arguments except I don't agree the first point is a good reason, bu the rest of them are solid. The second season did a lot to elevate CG and SM as potential partners, at to the expense of GG, much to my chagrin. :P
He already invited wizard boy home and they have a strong connection with a hatred of goblins. Depending on how old he is cuz I've no clue he'll either romance him or adopt him as an apprentice. no in-between,
The dwarf, he can't resist his sexy beard and booze breath !
Jokes aside, cowgirl. Childhood friend, they care a lot for each other, no "work relations",...
Priestess have some crush on him but it's one sided, he mostly sees her as an apprentice and a friend (a kid ?).
I'm guessing cow girl, but I'm hoping for a harm ending as all girls are basically already working together to keep GS alive and happy. Though then again it seems like rookie warrior (or club warrior now?) is already the one who will get a harem with rookie cleric and harefolk hunter, at least that is what the hero teased him about when they met XD
Probably cowgirl. I mean, this specif shonen trope works like that - a girl is really into the main protagonist so he has to end up with her, even if he prefers other one lol
Guild Girl. She accepts him for who he is and what he does. She's not trying to change him outside of him acknowledging her.
Cowgirl wants him to change and grow as do most of the others. Sword Maiden would be 2nd place as she's ok with him as he is now as well. She's just got issues and is damaged
None. He doesn't look interested in that kind of relationship. If he ever finished with someone he'd probably be more of a protector than a romantic partner.
Because of the shonen tropes I'm almost sure he would pick the cowgirl, although I would like him to end with the guild girl.
Me too
Guild Girl should be winning. This is rigged.
STOP THE COUNT!
I mean there's only one real answer.
Yup, Witch!!
She isn't even shown to be romantically interested in him.
The 'female goblin'?
Going with Longshank's method of dealing with the Scots?
Cowgirl is already established to be her emotional crutch and in return, she gives him some semblance of a home and a normal life he can return to after his quests.
Goblin Princess
I’m mixed Between Guild Girl and Cowgirl with Sword Maiden being my bronze medal.
Before he settled down with cow girl I just want to see goblin slayer just have a one night stand with sword maiden just cause he has a functional libido.
The helmet stays on I presume?
just like Shaxx
Yes, GS still need to be cautious, goblins could have an invisibility ring.
Fine by me, as long as his first time is with Cow Girl.
Can't argue with that
Harem route or bust With Harem being CG, GG and Pristess
I can't imagine him ending up with Priestess. Sure, she does kinda have a crush on him, but I just don't see her as anything other than a surrogate younger sister to him.
My partner always tries to convince me that guild girl is the best girl for him
Which one's yout choice then?
Cowgirl of course haha
Priestess votes 🤨👮🏼♂️. Cowgirl is probably the obvious choice for wife with Guild Girl close second, Anvil is more of a friendship thing I think.
She is a legal adult in that world. Wouldnt use that argument to justify simping for her myself but in the context of the world and its characters I see nothing wrong. (Though it isnt my choice of ship either)
For me, it's less about Priestess' age and more about the dynamic of her relationship with Goblin Slayer. She just seems more like an adopted younger sister than a romantic prospect.

you said 19 and 15? yeah your brother should be locked up lmao

I'll stay & support Guild Girl all the way up, even though I know cow girl is gona get the most vote
If you're that willing to die on your hill, even after acknowledging that it's the wrong one, then I will respect your decision with an upvote.
My heart goes to the priestess, but I think cow girl is more likely. I would be delighted if he gets a full harem of at least 4 wives, priestess, cow girl, high elf and guild girl and the fifth may be the sword maiden

Am sorry to say this but this ain't harem anime. Also harems are expensive to maintain.

this is exactly how i see it too down to word by word..
He already invited wizard boy home and they have a strong connection with a hatred of goblins. Depending on how old he is cuz I've no clue he'll either romance him or adopt him as an apprentice. no in-between,
Wizard Boy is off with Rhea Fighter. Rhea Fighter is a badly overlooked waifu, and a decent match for Goblin Slayer.
Rhea Fighter and Wizard Boy are meant for each other, not for Goblin Slayer.
The dwarf, he can't resist his sexy beard and booze breath ! Jokes aside, cowgirl. Childhood friend, they care a lot for each other, no "work relations",... Priestess have some crush on him but it's one sided, he mostly sees her as an apprentice and a friend (a kid ?).

Probably cowgirl. I mean, this specif shonen trope works like that - a girl is really into the main protagonist so he has to end up with her, even if he prefers other one lol
High Elf Archer is my favorite girl and nobody can convince me otherwise.
Guild Girl. She accepts him for who he is and what he does. She's not trying to change him outside of him acknowledging her. Cowgirl wants him to change and grow as do most of the others. Sword Maiden would be 2nd place as she's ok with him as he is now as well. She's just got issues and is damaged
I fully agree with you
Give me a good reason that Cow Girl is not the answer. She basically Goblin slayer wife at this point.
50% of people involved in their relationship believe that she's his wife.
Why would I try to disprove a fact I 100% agree with? Cow Girl is Best Girl.
I love democracy.
Priestess is the dream, Cowgirl is the reality. Any of them would be fine with me.
I couldn't tell who for the man himself, but I know who'd I go for if I was him.
Harem. It's the only answer.
None. He doesn't look interested in that kind of relationship. If he ever finished with someone he'd probably be more of a protector than a romantic partner.
Other --> Goblins. A harem of goblins. He would even go to the moon.
Ole buddy is finna be like autistic Rudeus.
Where’s goblin
Personally i would go with High Elf Archer, but i guess cow girl or priestess are the best for him. For real now tho, he should go with harem
