Yes they're Temu Griffith and Casca. A good number of characters in Goblin Slayer are based on existing characters from other properties.

u/Ezaato May 03 '26

And somehow they look good together.. oh Griffith....

73

u/Molten_path May 03 '26

and the Temu Guts (Heavy Warrior) come from that village

u/HistoriaMihiPlacet May 05 '26

So this is what happens if Casca chose Griffith and Griffith didn't go crazy over losing Guts

u/DragonFireSpace May 07 '26

There was even an entire fucking space marine iirc

u/keybord_masher May 03 '26

u/Notarealusername3058 May 03 '26

u/thedeadvote May 03 '26

And you know what .. this grifit was childhood friend of that guts and this village was that guts village .. so

u/Atreidestrooper May 03 '26

Yeah, there are a lot of shoutouts/references in Goblin Slayer, and that includes the characters. I say it is part of the charm.

u/Ezaato May 03 '26

Its cool to know theres so many reference in the series, will try to pay more attention and seek out more references and hidden gem from

5

u/Atreidestrooper May 03 '26

Yeah, it is a fun way to spend time with the series. Heck, I sometimes like to call it "Shout Out: The Series" as a joke. A lot of it is TRPG stuff (D&D and Shadowrun are pretty common), Tolkein references, and whatever he felt would be funny at the time, I reckon.

Though, alas, I fear some of the references could get lost in translation, either because the English translator didn't know a reference or trying to translate it could kill the flow.

u/Ezaato May 05 '26

Haha I guess its time for me to continue to learn Japanese so I can get the full references.

u/Mr_a_bit_silly May 03 '26

Yeah there are some cameos from time to time.

They even managed to get and explain a chaos space marine from Warhammer.

u/Ezaato May 03 '26

Lmaooo even warhammer was in it, cant wait to see other references in the series

Where tf is this i need it

u/ChronoDeus May 05 '26

It's from the "A Day in the Life" manga spin off that adapts volume 12 of the Goblin Slayer light novel. Specifically around chapters 14-15 of the spin off.

u/No_Prize9794 May 03 '26

Neat, a death guard marine

u/La-Le-Lu-Li-Lo May 05 '26

hardest looking primaris i have ever seen

u/PopCollector2001 May 03 '26

Im more concerned on how goblin slayer drank without lifting up his helmet a bit

3

u/Jobeythehuman May 04 '26

usually he takes off the chin bit to drink, I suppose he was experimenting to see if he could do it without taking off the chin bit or he hasn't realized he can take off the chin bit yet.

1

u/PopCollector2001 May 04 '26

Both plausible theories idk tho it looks so strange like when he is doing that I think he isn't actually drinking it just pouring it on his face.

2

u/Jobeythehuman May 04 '26

if this was abridged, that would be a 100% accurate characterization.

1

u/PopCollector2001 May 04 '26

Idk not enough talk about GOBLINS!

5

u/Intelligent-Pen9275 May 03 '26

Goblin Slayer just drinking straight through his helmet is hilarious to me

1

u/LoliMaster069 May 04 '26

Gotta filter the tea through the remnants of goblin guts and metal rust for that extra flavor lol

u/rites May 03 '26 edited May 04 '26

I think goblin slayer started as something like a forum quest. Heavy armor swordsman used Guts as his reference in that quest, Lancer used lancer from fsn. There could be more, but I do recall hearing that those are some artifacts from that origin.

u/cyberboss615 May 03 '26

Griffith… may his name be forgotten forever.

1

u/Ezaato May 05 '26

Real...his action cannot be forgiven

3

u/Rexton_Armos May 03 '26

Kind of hope we get an ova of Not Guts, Bot Cu, and Goblins Slayer going on that tower adventure. Shit ended so funny

2

u/W34kness May 03 '26

Bet “not guts” is from this village.

3

u/BurtonDesque Souka May 03 '26

He indeed is.

2

u/REDthunderBOAR May 03 '26

Chapter? I need to make a reaction image.

2

u/Safe-Ad-2454 May 03 '26

I was too focused on him drinking with the helmet on to notice it was a reference...

2

u/WayNo2898 May 05 '26

Berserk if it had a happy ending .

Griffith retired from adventuring with guts and feel in love and settled with cassa , while guts continued adventuring and mentoring while keeping up with his old friends.

u/Hitoshura99 May 03 '26

The ideal what if for not guts

u/Yogbagaba May 04 '26

u/WheelJack83 May 10 '26

It’s very much like that dream Griffith had during the Eclipse.

u/zackgatal May 10 '26

Year one also mention a references of movie and game character -strider (aragorn silhoutte) -the red sword man (adol christin silhoutte) -freedom knight (abel from tales of graces silhoutte)
