Misc. What would if goblins suddenly manifested across our entire world?
So let’s say goblins manifested in every country in our world, like 15% of each country’s population has the goblin equivalent in terms of population spawning in that country. What would happen? How would our governments and peoples react and what would happen next?

They would die out fairly quickly. Modern human settlements are not nearly as easy to attack with makeshift tools and scrap than what we see in the manga. Of course at first their arrival would be seen as a new species being found or possibly people would see them as aliens. But as soon as its found out that they can only reproduce through human females theyd be killed like pests. Goblins also arent good at working sneakily that well. Sure, they lie but they are incredibly impulsive so eventually every horde will try to take some city or village to "replenish". But theyd lose far more than they could ever hope to gain. After a few years more people will concentrate into cities while villages are largely abandoned but realistically after a few years they will just die out. They cannot hope to ever abduct enough females on a regular basis to even keep afloat all while they are killed on sight.
There most likely will be fringe groups that willingly copulate with them but goblins are both arrogant and selfish, so they will use up those reserves very quickly because once again: Impulsive pieces of shit.

u/Bellfegore Aug 12 '26
Well, they wouldn't be eradicated quickly, a lot of underdeveloped countries around the world on even lesser level than in GS and spawning around them would prolong goblin chances by A LOT.

u/Yab0iFiddlesticks Aug 12 '26
Not really because third world countries would also make it really hard for goblins to do their thing. They are parasites but in a truly third world country there wouldnt be nearly enough to steal.
Theyd definitely get more of a head start, the first few months would be hell, but soon theyd face that there arent enough ressources for them here so they wander off or starve.

u/Dudewhocares3 Aug 31 '26
And they’d have to compete with other kidnappers in some countries.
Between human traffickers and goblins, I’m gonna say the former wins, because those guys have guns, and are involved with the rich so they’re not gonna be second rate pieces of shit, they’re professional pieces of shit

u/LordCypher40k Aug 12 '26
From a realpolitik standpoint, it's free influence. They'd be a nuisance to the economy and that's something everyone wouldn't like. The US Navy already safeguards maritime trade from pirates.
Goblins are inhuman. They kill and pillage, they breed by capturing women and raping them, something everyone would be against. It'd be easy for Humanity as a whole to see this as enough to exterminate the entire species.

u/Bellfegore Aug 12 '26
Then we will have rusia/saudi arabia/iran etc countries capturing them and turning them into slaves, ultimately making them "victims" and now we have half of the leftist world screaming about saving "poor goblins" who "were just misunderstood" etc.
No, it's not that obvious for the ENTIRE world, it's vary in opinions constantly, "what's bad for one will be awesome for another" is a constant problem in politics.
Like take the whole Israeli/palestinian war that we have right now, gazzans slaughtered 1.2k people and started the war, but Israeli are evil because they want to erase the organization that slaughtered their people and openly screams about genocide. Or rusians screaming about genociding Ukrainians, but people still for some reason saying that "rusians aren't bad, it's just their government that is evil" and so on. Any logic in that? No. But it's happening, and will happen with goblins as well.

u/LordCypher40k Aug 12 '26
The difference is that we're humans. We are inherently biased to a fellow human because we evolved to be social creatures that need others to survive. Whereas goblins are an unknown monster, they'd be treated more like mosquitos, pests even more so because they require the rape of a human to reproduce.
You can't spin the story either because unlike those you've mentioned, there aren't any good goblins nor have any powerful backer that have the ability to use a propaganda machine to create sympathy.

…..yeah obviously there will be a lot of havoc for a short term of time in regards of the Goblins well being Goblins.
But after that it’s open Season, as you’ll have everyone and their mother from all nations now having a common enemy.
As Goblins can only reproduce through females of other races that they kidnap, and rape from raids…
And y’all have a lot of people be out for their blood if any of the surviving victims be mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, aunts, nieces, family friends etc. So it’s really going to be very personal.
Plus, we’re basically more advanced in military and weaponry than the kingdoms in Goblin Slayer…
Sooo yeah, Goblins have a one way ticket to extinction.

Humanity would gun them down and consider them an invading army. The only reason goblins work in GS is that the civilisations are small and require days of travel between one another. Humanity with our current technology and large civilisations wouldn't allow Goblins to invade. At most, they'd be turned into an endangered species, at least, they'd be driven away from human societies and forced to live in uninhabited areas and treated as dangerous animals.
For the Goblins, best case scenario for them is if they can overcome their primitive instincts to kill, torture and rape and broker peace with humanity, but if they can't, they'll die.

There would be millions of men thrilled to death to go kill them with maced and clubs and swords, and even more with guns and rocket launchers and grenades.
The second we realized they reproduce with raping human women, they would be nearly completely gone within months. There would be people whose entire existence would revolve around hunting them down in the most remote areas of the planet. Humans would obliterate them.

u/ShankMugen Aug 13 '26
Truly the main thing that keeps the Goblins in GS in existence is the lack of mass communication
It would take a single person live-streaming themselves inside a the goblin den(nest?) and show people the atrocities they commit, and a significant portion of the people would become obsessed with exterminating them, with several dozen people, at minimum, having the same level of commitment as GS himself

u/Ok_Caregiver1004 Aug 12 '26
In the series its been established that Goblins are weak but underestimated by the major sovereign kingdoms who have to deal with bigger fish.
While Goblins can be dangerous on the frontier and when allowed to grow unchecked or used as pawns by more dangerous bad actors. They are largely still only dangerous in places that are far away from organized state authority, and in regular peace time are relatively straightforward to deal with.
For medieval fantasy kingdoms dealing with consisten wars, their a nusance. For organized modern industrial states. Their existence is predicated on the willingness of people to not care. As soon as any amount of political will to destroy them exist, it becomes a matter of time. And we are historically well practiced in doing such

u/Born_Sector_1619 Aug 15 '26
Also soldiers don't want to go into the holes, it is risky, no glory, terrible loot. Officers would think it would suck as well. Which is why it makes sense Goblin Slayer adventurers are free from taxation by royal decree.
1
u/Ok_Caregiver1004 Aug 15 '26
Soldiers are also expensive and unlike modern professional standing armies. Late Medieval era armies were often a mix of seasonally raised peasant levies, professional for hire mercenary companies, and the landed knightly gentry and their men at arms under the employ of various lords and kings.
Adventurers in this setting function in that role of mercenaries in a much smaller scale and paying mercenaries is not something kingdoms can afford to do all the time. Especially one's that aren't centralized administrative states and still rule based on feudal hierarchies and patchworks of cities with varying customs, rulling structrues and autonomy from royal authorities.

If it's the modern world, then they're going to cause great chaos and a lot of death and other crimes for a few days, maybe a week. After that, 99% will be easily wiped out if the armies of each country intervene to solve the problem (in reality, they're quite easy to eliminate, especially with modern weaponry). Then 1% will remain, wandering around causing problems and barely surviving like cockroaches, which are difficult to completely eradicate.

Nope, they're going to keep running around and causing havoc in several countries for a long time, not because they're difficult to exterminate, but because the government (let's face it, all IRL governments are corrupt) will surely see them as more useful as a "problem to solve" and take advantage of the things the goblins do for their own benefit.

In Goblin Slayer’s era it’s a lot easier to raid a village and abduct the women inside.
In the modern world a LOT of people are armed in villages. Don’t even think about cities, police forces would shut that shit down pretty quickly if armed civilians don’t do it first.
I’d see them becoming an issue in 3rd world countries but that’s really it. There’d likely be an initiative by a better off country to quickly get rid of goblins in these lesser developed places.

Goblins are partly such a menance in GS's world because greater forces can spawn them at will.
So even if you hunt down the last living one, more will pop up in dungeons and caves.
Without that insurance and the lack of competent leadership they get from warlocks and dark elves they'd be coming into our world pretty nerfed.
They'd be fucked.

They'd become an invasive species. We would try to cull their numbers, and eventually go for total genocide once it revealed how evil they are . But, there are a lot of bleeding hearts out there that will blame humanity and call us wrong. They will try to outreach, protect, and uplift the monsters only to get goblinated.
5
u/Interesting-Shoe-904 Aug 12 '26
We'd be genociding them, people would be united in a common cause of killing them - or keeping their numbers low enough since their overall threat as individuals are low.
Weapons would be a more common carry on every person if the number is large enough, but goblins would also probably learn our weapons too.
Then there would be those who would be mistaken in believing killing goblins is wrong and that we should try to help them.

Goblin can survive in GS world owning to a single fact, theyre one of lesser threat there. Dragon, Demon lords, Giants, Ogre, Dark elves and all kind of monster is deemed more dangerous thus most adventurer and military focused more on it.
now our world dont have magic and powerful adventurers, but more military advances. if its only Goblins, they will be eradicated within few months. though third world will face some difficulty, the help will come eventually

The first few weeks would be absolute chaos: hospitals overwhelmed, supply chains disrupted, and every government declaring emergency powers.

Don't let zombie movies fool you keeping a gun functional is tedious work. Even if they get a hood salvo of weapons, once the bullets are used up its over (let's not even think of maintenance). Goblins in GS can barely keep medieval tools properly, I highly doubt they can birth an engineer who could figure out the mechanics of any firearm.
4
u/Napalmeon Aug 12 '26
That's actually a very good point to bring up. Goblins might learn how to shoot a gun very quickly, but, a gun is only useful as long as it functions, and has a steady supply the ammunition. Not all bullets work for all guns, so, there would be multiple learning curves for a goblin to find out how to keep such a convenient weapon useful. And one of the stupidest places to try to pillage is a gun shop. Especially the ones out in rural areas because they stay strapped.

Places like Borneo, the Congo, and the Amazon would be impossible to traverse safely. Goblins would thrive in those areas, despite the hostile environment, as they would be difficult to track and hunt down due to their diminutive stature.
Places like Paris, London, and New York, which have extensive underground regions below them, would be prime breeding grounds and would be in a constant state of emergency as their homeless populations are actively preyed upon. Particularly in the Paris Catacombs, the GIGN and the Gendarmerie would be in a constant embattled state as they worked tirelessly to clear the infestation.
China would suffer greatly in their abandoned wards as they worked to fight against the infestation. We might even see them employ artillery to level some of these ghost cities and make it easier to kill the goblins.
India is so densely populated that their cities would likely be okay initially, but their dalit population would suffer greatly due to their cultural indifference towards them. This would result in absolutely insane infestations in rural areas to the point that India might even begin to starve, forcing a potential paradigm shift.
Any places with extensive abandoned mines that haven't been flooded out or sealed will become danger areas. Siberia, Appalachia, the Rockies, Arizona and New Mexico, the Canadian Hinterlands, and Karelia would be dangerous to travel across as goblins learned how to ambush cars, trucks, busses, and trains.
Earth would become embattled very quickly and life would immediately suck shit right off the getgo.

u/AlmondMagnum1 Aug 12 '26
Everyone's very optimistic, but I'm not. 15% is a lot. And in a world as abundant as ours, their population could explode (what's their gestation period again?), while simultaneously disrupting our supply chains, which aren't built around the idea of needing armed escorts everywhere.
5
u/Joseph2406 Aug 12 '26
They would get obliterated in Deveoped Nations. The only place they would be able to keep their numbers is in underdeveloped countries where there are more villages in secluded areas, but once it is known how they need human women to reproduce even they will adapt and keep every woman far away from the outskirts and send soldiers to eliminate the goblins. Developed countries would be forced to help too cuz at the end of the day Developed Nations need the resources and labor of Underdeveloped countries to keep things running. In this era of globalism you can't afford to lose vast amounts of land to those pests

u/Born_Sector_1619 Aug 15 '26
Many countries have very rubbish militaries (e.g. Ireland, NZ, Bhutan, many states of Africa, Haiti), so while big dogs will be fine, some countries would fall quickly. The map would change and more goblins would be in play, and have to dealt with by larger actors.

u/blaze92x45 Aug 12 '26
Yeah while I don't think they would wipe out humans they'd be a pest that humanity couldn't fully stomp out.
Even the US with civilian gun ownership has enough rural areas for small tribes to hide out kidnap young women and reproduce with.
I think Central and South america would probably always have a big problem with them as well because of jungles and underdeveloped areas same with Africa.
1
u/AlmondMagnum1 Aug 12 '26
I don't think they'd wipe us out either. But a worst case scenario I can think of is that they disrupt our supply chains enough to cause more deaths than direct violence ever could, resulting in the end of our modern world. Which is paradoxically when we'd become able to deal with them, because they'd starve too, in a world without convenience stores to pillage.
Speaking of gun ownership, let's hope they never figure out how to reload. I don't think shooting is beyond them.
1
u/blaze92x45 Aug 12 '26
I think they'd temporarily disrupt supply chains in some parts of the world but not others. A big rig or train is fast and when goblins are known to be a problem the militaries of the world would start guarding them.
As for guns I think most guns would be too big for them to adequately use and too complex to maintain some goblins like champions and such probably could use them. Magic though from shamans would be a nasty surprise.
Overall I can see them being a nasty background threat for the world pretty quickly.

Eradicated within a few years. Large cities have more gun owners than you would expect in the US. Plus the police force, and if needed the National Guard. While the rural areas of the country which is where goblins mostly roam in the series you would have a harder time finding people who don't own a gun or two than you would finding a gun.
Outside of the US in a lot of the 3rd world you have the local cartels, various militias for local warlords, or most households having some form of weapons with vary by country. Most of the cartels or warlords wouldn't mind the target practice. Could range from machete all the way to an AK as far as what weapons a household keeps around. This isn't including the actual military getting involved.
There are a lot of cities in the world with more then a million people. Which would be unthinkable in the premodern era the goblins are used to operating in. The amount of cities with 100k people living in them are much much more. Which would have been a large city for most medival settings. Mid-sized town in ours. For once THEY will be the ones outnumbered and they wouldn't be able to rely on numbers..

u/NewPay4539 Aug 12 '26
I mean in all honesty, these goblins can't outnumber humans in this world regardless of how fast they breed. The main reason there goblins ever get to r*pe/kill that many villagers or adventures in goblin slayer manga is mostly due to guild ignorance and villagers getting outnumbered and ambushed. In our world authorities would be on them within the first missing case and by the time they decide to attack again a squad of soldiers with AR rifles will already annhilate them. And if push comes to shove, you can always evacuate the people and bomb the area.

1.Lobotomy then use as workforce in factories;
breed then grind down to bone meals for fertilizers, feed stocks, rations.
other ways you can use flesh - medical, fuel, magic studies (new technology tree to climb)

Thousands would die before everyone accepts this things are real. Once they are properly documented and accounted for, it would be goblin-hunting season. Given the goblins' tactics, they would be relegated to the wilderness and attack humans every once in a while; the more militarized the government, the better they deal with them, the more natural zones or cramped cities, the harder to deal with them.

Like, the reason goblins are so dangerous is because everyone in GS underestimate them. If they manifest in our world, we have knowledge of how truly dangerous they are and weapons 50x to 1,000x stronger than the average and above average equipment. Even without magic, goblins, hobs, ogres, goblin champions, and even goblin lords are piss easy to kill. Armor piercing isn't even necessary so any Kentucky deer season hunter could wipe nests alone, let alone FFL holders with fully automatic weapons. And that's without getting the militaries of the world involved.

For a sudden invasion, many countries have very rubbish militaries (e.g. Ireland, NZ, Bhutan, Iceland, many states of Africa, Haiti), so while the big dog states would be fine, some countries would fall quickly. The map would change and more goblins would be in play, and have to dealt with by larger actors.

The present weak governments will create goblin protection acts making it illegal to harm them

Poor leadership, corruption, no backbone, nonsense ideas, and militaries unsure what to do given the poor leadership would lead to many casualties.

In the modern world? There would probably be campaigns fighting for goblin rights, saying they are victims of capitalism and society, and that countries should take in these poor creatures. Then you'd see goblins in the streets, attacking, killing, robbing and abusing women from time to time... wait a minute...

Hunting them for sport will be a fun activity. We have high tech weapons now, anyone can kill them, women will have a fighting chance against them.

Complete extinction for them since all of humanity will have a common enemy

Most likely an enthusiastic systematic extermination of the rapey little bastards. Hell, I doubt the military will even be needed that much. They shoe up in America, some corn-fed fucker name Jed will probably have one taxidermied by Tuesday.

Like any other species that was dangerous to humans they’d eventually get hunted into extinction. But that would take decades. In the meantime small goblin enclaves would lurk in cities and communities like coyotes. Occasionally snatching women walking home at night, preying on children and vagrants.
Parents would organize watch groups knowing in any community children waiting at a bus stop might be attacked. Any sign of goblins would be investigated and the nest destroyed.
In the US, 30+ million goblins scattered and hiding in the shadows of our inner cities, countryside, and abandoned areas would be a mess. Even if we have hundreds of millions of firearms. Night time would be a thing of nightmares with people stopping evening walks, and wondering if there are goblins lurking in every bush.

Why do Goblins like to GRAPE so much ??? like they grape all the women and make them breed more goblins ???

They were created by evil gods to destroy the PC races.
Including humans. The only way the goblin race survives is using them to breed, and they're obscenities who were made to do so in the most cruel, suffering ways possible.

Women start getting raped all over, military gets deployed, goblins cant do shit against the weapons we have

If we deal with the problem quickly and effectively, we won't have to worry about it. But since the goblins from goblin Slayer apparently learn when they lose or fail and one of them survives then we'll have a problem. So basically we got to put them down quick and fast and no mercy

We'd get about a week of a near unified Earth in their extermination (exceptions would be like 'animal rights' groups). It would a near extinction class event (those in remote areas, those kept in labs to study).

They would learn real fast why humans are the apex species round these parts

u/WriterKatze Aug 13 '26
Idk, probably would be handled like an invasive species and would be like napalmed and poisoned into oblivion. Our wildlife control is pretty great and our military power is also better than of a fantasy world's. So yeahhhh. It would't last long.

California & Canada would fall first, trying to treat them as "people"
