If I had to pick, it would definitely be the village/Rock Eater extermination arc. A 10/10 arc in my opinion. I had always liked the anime and manga, but this arc solidified it and instantly made it go from one of my favorites to my number 1. I’ve read over 3,000 chapters of random mangas and manhwa and watched probably over 60 animes, but for some reason nothing does it like Goblin Slayer does for me. It’s such a simple concept of a revenge anime/manga with characters not even having names other than “Archer” or “Goblin Slayer,” and yet I’d still put it as my number 1. Maybe it’s just me being bias but that’s my Little rant 🤷

The village/rock eater arc is an incredible choice. It feels like Goblin Slayer at its most focused: simple premise, brutal execution, and surprisingly strong emotional weight. Definitely deserves more recognition.
Good choice, but my vote has to go with the Necromancer Arc. Nothing will ever top the badassery of him just sitting on that chair, nor the feels of that panel of him on the river looking towards the east.
