Transliteration: "Masshu Bāndeddo to Ōkina Tō" (Japanese: マッシュ・バーンデッドと大きな塔)Directed by : Keisuke Shiraishi
Storyboarded by : Takeshi FurutaKento ToyaMarch 2, 2024 (2024-03-02)[20] With his Time magic Innocent freezes everyone, though Wahlberg is somehow unaffected. Innocent summons demons to attack the frozen audience so Wahlberg unfreezes Mash, his friends, Kaldo and Orter to fight them while he teleports away with Innocent to battle at a safe distance. The demons suspiciously avoid Mash so instead he races away to battle Cell War who has summoned a black carbon tower to attack the audience from above. After Mash topples his tower Cell is delighted at the opportunity to fight Mash after their previous encounter, yet he is shocked to find Mash doesn’t even remember him. Dot and Lance are turned into infants by Sitter Baby, leaving them defenceless until Sitter brags his spell has reduced their magic by 90%. Lance concentrates his remaining 10% into a 1 inch spot on Sitter’s back and crushes him, returning himself and Dot to normal. It is revealed Innocent and Wahlberg were both students to Adam, the strongest dark mage in history, so their magic is equal in power. Innocent uses a forbidden spell; Living Dead. Cell threatens to kill Mash’ friends.
But those who are not a fan of darker or more morally ambiguous protagonists will only find the anime more unappealing with his presence. "Edgy", "pretentious", others might say. Considering that one's enjoyment of Goblin Slayer is almost entirely decided by their interest in the protagonist, and consequently his goblin slaying journey, those who do not find these sorts of characters appealing are well within their right to dislike the anime as a whole. But to say he is dark merely for the sake of being dark would be something of a lie. No, he is dark because he grew up in an awful world with rapey, murderous goblins.
Considering the natural path for most fantasy anime is to gradually hunt stronger and stronger monsters, the fact that Goblin Slayer is perpetually chasing weaker monsters— goblins— and even being ostracised for it by his fellow adventurers, is a refreshing change of pace for a genre that is often so predictable that you can already guess the events of the final episode based on the first.
