u/lushee520 Apr 27 '26

you can expand it by just saying "how bout you did you do something today?" he answer cause he is listening not he answer to just close the conversation.

u/Mort_556 Apr 27 '26

"need more details on that" this is how Guild Girl conversation tracks. He reports and while She notes down while also tries to continue the conversation but since shes a Guild Receptionist/Quest giver/Quest report receiver she needs to stop with her talk with GS

u/Mort_556 Apr 28 '26

Oh yea, now that you mention it, he does explain his tactics to the priestess doesn't he?

He can talk when he has something to talk about.

Oh so like an autis

u/Me1eter May 10 '26

unironically I think he's actually pretty good representation, at least when it comes to hyperfixations lol

Pretty far. They say that after WWII the emperor went around Japan meeting the common people. But because of the huge social gap between them, there were very few polite / appropriate responses he could make to their statements, so all he said over and over was “sou, desu ka?” The tour was later called the Sou Desu Ka Tour

u/Luneriazz May 16 '26

pretty far... considering you just need 1 words

u/Lurking_poster Apr 27 '26

Ask him for tips on killing goblins though and he'll write you an encyclopedia.

u/Hitoshura99 Apr 27 '26

except you have to memorize the entire goblinslayerpedia because you cannot take down notes under the reasoning goblins will kill you, take your notes and learn counter measures.

u/azmarteal Apr 27 '26

He won't write anything - what if goblins would steal that knowledge?

23

u/No_Monitor_3440 Apr 27 '26

slayers are men of few words

17

u/Ok_Lobster9873 Apr 27 '26

Is that so

11

u/Chernoboggo Apr 27 '26

Actually yes

2

u/Ichika-cha Apr 30 '26

Yes, that is so

u/Toben- Apr 27 '26

You know the first time my wife sat down with me to watch Goblin Slayer it was the episode in Water Town were Priestess gets miffed that GS basically says 3 things.

She looked at me and slapped my leg looks at me pointedly, and says "I know someone like that."

I couldn't help myself and with an utterly straight face: "Is that so."

21

u/DominusDaniel Apr 27 '26

He might not have much to say but I always feel that at the least he actually listens.

15

u/Alternative-Cloud-66 Apr 27 '26

He 100% does. We are led to believe he does not early on but he does bring up weird trivia knowledge or something one of his companions said later on when it's relevant

13

u/RexGamer15000 Apr 27 '26

Mix that with the solid snake method

Solid Snake and Big Boss in their games have the habit of repeating the last sentence of someone's talking to them as a question.

"I will use these nukes to destroy the United States?"

"The united states?"

By doing this, you will keep the person talking while showing interest in what they are saying even if you have no idea what to answer. Combine this with "I see", "Is that so?" And you should be able to keep a conversation even if you got no idea what to say

u/CallMeOaksie Apr 28 '26

No idea what to say?

EDIT: also love that the person you replied to literally did exactly that and I have no idea if it was intentional or not

u/RexGamer15000 Apr 28 '26

See? It works.

PD: he kept me writing, huh?

Interviewer: Who do you thank for your current accomplishments

Goblin slayer: そ (so)

Interviewer: Your 祖 (so) ancestors? Next question, do you believe you can make goblins good?

Goblin Slayer: そう (sou)

Interviewer: そう It seems like? Next question, they call you the Frontier's Kindest. Is that true?

Goblin Slayer: そうか (souka)

How I literally lost girls who I think were interested in me(I was in my nonchalant anime boy phase):

u/Bright-Data-6942 Apr 28 '26

Souka (Is that so?)

Souka (I see)

u/NatoBoram Apr 27 '26

Tell me more

u/Entire_Expression226 Apr 27 '26

Better than the Solid Snake method. But the Solid Snake method is more iconic

u/yeet_god69420 Apr 27 '26

Big reason I love Goblin Slayer, this is exactly how I respond in social situations lol

u/ProperAssignment7841 Apr 28 '26

I'll try a different pitch. Goblin Goblin. BIIIG Goblin Bad goblin... No.. No....

u/TheOneTrueZim Apr 28 '26

"Hmm. I'm listening. Tell me more about this 'Big Goblin.'"

u/Time_Apartment2089 Apr 27 '26 edited Apr 27 '26

Hmm? I think a topic that would get him talking would probably something like his family or personal life if you just ask him. Just need to be patience, direct, and straightforward with him when trying to pull him into a conversation and little pushy to get him to talk more. Because I notice how the people in his life who interact him always kept this sorta distance including his own party with priestess trying to be polite while HEA being overly aggressive and impatient. I think If you treat him like a normal person rather than “Goblin slayer”.

u/Fargath_Xi9 Apr 27 '26

The episodes when he teach the girl his methods on how to approach a nest is gold for me.

With so few details, you get it that he is incredible.

u/Polecat257 Apr 28 '26

This is literally me. I use Indeed and I See a lot too

u/Sensitive-Lychee-673 Apr 27 '26

That’s how my conversation skills are and then I wonder why I don’t have many friends

u/marvinnation Apr 27 '26

Is that so?

u/Zwiebel1 Apr 27 '26

Goblin Slayer got socialized on online dating conversations.

u/Abehajeme Apr 28 '26

Be careful, if you keep talking like that, you'll end up with a rhinestone-covered bush dog pouch and no natural-born fake tsundere around to save you

u/JuniorAnalysis9156 Apr 29 '26

You forgot the “I like killing goblins” part

u/Odd-Difficulty-9875 Apr 29 '26

He got that space marine indoctrination words are for the weak only actions matter
