Goblin Slayer season 2 episode 4: A brief recap
Having ensured the young adventurers were prepared with a perfect battle formation, Goblin Slayer headed out to the village to check on things, only to encounter the aftermath of a goblin attack. After the adventurers at the Training Centre regrouped, they divided themselves into groups.
Priestess eventually figured out the goblins' next attack would be on the young adventurers who headed to their home. So, she decided to group up with the remaining batch of the young adventurers, including Wizard Boy, Rhea, Fighter, and more, to save the others, and the plan worked. Surprisingly, Wizard Boy’s last-minute spell came in handy for scaring away all the nearby goblins.
Meanwhile, Goblin Slayer and his team engaged in combat with the goblins inside the tunnels and later flooded the pathways to seal them. The next day, much to her surprise, Priestess discovered that she ranked up to the third level.
Outside the guild, Wizard Boy proclaimed to Goblin Slayer that he would be embarking on a new journey and would acquire the name Dragon Slayer. Despite his disagreement, Rhea Fighter decided to join Wizard Boy, which escalated into a playful dispute, causing Goblin Slayer to laugh out loud.
What to expect from Goblin Slayer season 2 episode 5 (Speculative)
Goblin Slayer season 2 episode 5 is yet to reveal the preview teaser or stills that could have given the idea of what comes next for the heroes. With the disclosed title “Beard-Cutter, To the Southern River,” it can be expected that the protagonist will be heading to someplace for a new mission, all alone, considering “Beard-Cutter” is his moniker.
Given the location is in the Southern Region of the Kingdom, it can be expected that a new character, named Sister Grape, will be making her debut. Grape is described as an optimistic and jovial nun from the Temple of Earth Mother. This is just a speculation, as no news regarding the character’s debut has been made yet.
