The Goblin Slayer's war has gone quiet, but the soundtrack screams louder than ever. Season two trades graphic shock for something harder to survive: the routine. He's still killing goblins. He's just stopped believing it matters. Mili's new theme doesn't explain what's broken in him, it embodies it, the kind of heavy metal dirge that plays when a man realizes extinction won't fix what's already dead inside.

Spring arrives, and goblin activity rises with it, giving Goblin Slayer plenty of work in his single-minded campaign to wipe the creatures out. As he takes on every goblin quest he can, a short-tempered young wizard who is just starting out asks for his guidance. Goblin Slayer tries to talk sense into the boy, but that fails against his ambitions, so Priestess is chosen to take him under her wing. Before long, Goblin Slayer and his fellow adventurers are teaching the wizard and several other newcomers while goblins keep causing harm nearby. The second season of this dark fantasy action adventure is adapted from the light novels by Kagyuu Kumo.
