History Trivia / GoblinSlayer

** Creator/NaoTouyama and Creator/MallorieRodak has High Elf Archer, an ActionGirl who eventually gets into a rage against the goblins for trying to rape her.

* SeriesHiatus: ''Goblin Slayer Gaiden 2: Tsubanari no Daikatana'' went on hiatus after only '''three chapters''' were published.

** A big one for Brad Hawkins, for his previous role as Trey and Ryan in ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' and ''Series/VRTroopers'', both of which feature him in good guy roles. He's Goblin Slayer, a pragmatic AntiHero who has no qualms on taking on the eponymous creature menace. On the other hand, Hawkins did perform motion capture for the Doom Slayer in ''VideoGame/Doom2016'', a protagonist with a similar disposition who has naught but pure hatred for demons.

This turns out to be true as the end of Episode 10 foreshadows [[spoiler:a massive goblin horde at the edge of Cow Girl's farm]].
