Creating Anime In A Fantasy World

As the final battle began, the audience was left with one overwhelming feeling: grandeur!

Indeed, for the audience, the final battle of Goblin Slayer stood out for its sheer spectacle.

The intensity and brilliance of the fight scenes rivaled the special effects of movies from another world.

Thanks to the existence of magic and martial arts, battles in this world naturally carried a flair akin to special effects!

Most of the audience were ordinary people in this extraordinary world, devoid of any flashy magic or powerful swordsmanship.

For them, witnessing a battle between experts was a rare, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Unless they had the courage to venture to the frontlines of war, or were unlucky enough to experience a monster siege in their city, they’d likely never witness such battles firsthand.

In this context, when the audience was treated to a visual feast of top-tier adventurers from the Northern Territory, they couldn’t contain their excitement.

Screams erupted all around.

The only way to describe their reaction was that they were blown away—quite literally in tears!

By the way, it was tears of awe, so don’t overthink it.

Thanks to the influx of top-tier adventurers from the North who all eagerly wanted to show off, the actors selected for the final battle were all of silver rank or higher.

When they displayed their skills, it was ferocious.

Imagine a group of grand magicians unleashing Planetary Devastation against a swarm of helpless goblins.

The resulting effect, needless to say, was beyond exhilarating.

In terms of spectacle, it was certainly top-notch!

In comparison, the earlier film KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! also had some impressive fight scenes, with the Headless Horseman’s strength surpassing everyone’s expectations.

However, KonoSuba was ultimately a comedic, silly film, so audiences weren’t as focused on the action. Instead, they paid more attention to the humor.

On the other hand, Goblin Slayer was a full-blown action film—or rather, a tactical action film.

The most thrilling parts were when the protagonist used ingenious, unexpected methods to eliminate his enemies.

As the audience got deeper into the story, they couldn’t help but be drawn into the intensity of the battles.

Now, after experiencing the dark yet satisfying combat in Goblin Slayer, the audience was treated to a proper showdown between top-tier adventurers.

The feeling was akin to acing your final exams and immediately receiving acceptance into your dream university—pure ecstasy!

The atmosphere in the theater reached a boiling point.

Everyone had forgotten the rocky start of the film and was fully immersed in the exhilarating lives of the adventurers.

At the same time, General Wilhelm and Knight Commander Wycliffe, who were watching the film, were equally stunned by the meticulously choreographed battle scenes.

They couldn’t help but feel that even the army’s regular war exercises didn’t have battles this intense.

After all, the military didn’t have that many fourth or fifth-tier Swordsmen, let alone a top-tier magician nearby to set off magical “fireworks.”

To Knight Commander Wycliffe, the bloody battles in the film—including those involving Goblin Slayer—gave him the same visceral thrill as watching gladiators fight to the death in the orc kingdom arena.

At this moment, all his biases against the movie vanished, and he fully immersed himself in the story.

Finally, after the adventurers’ dazzling battle ended, the story reached its conclusion: Goblin Slayer versus the Goblin Lord!

Before the fight began, the audience quietly debated whether Goblin Slayer’s combat prowess could measure up to the Goblin Lord.

But when the fight actually started, most didn’t expect it to be such a one-sided beatdown.

While they initially thought Goblin Slayer would handle the Goblin Lord one-on-one, they were shocked at how powerful the Goblin Lord had become. Goblin Slayer nearly lost.

Luckily, everything was still within Goblin Slayer’s control.

When the audience saw the golden barrier slowly appear, they relaxed, as if a weight had been lifted from their hearts.

Later, when the Goblin Lord’s backstory was revealed, most of the audience finally understood Goblin Slayer’s motivation for slaughtering goblin infants at the beginning of the film.

As this lingering question from the start of the movie resurfaced, the thrilling film came to a close.

As the bustling scene at the Adventurers’ Guild unfolded at the end, many were touched by Goblin Slayer’s twisted persona being somewhat redeemed by his companions.

Watching this, even Knight Commander Wycliffe sighed with relief and muttered, “Next time, let’s come and watch another movie…”

“Oh ho? Even you would say such a thing?” General Wilhelm teased, while Rhine—standing nearby—wore an expression too complex to describe.

After all, his battle-hardened, death-focused mentor had just suggested watching a movie again.

Rhine couldn’t help but wonder if he’d have to be silenced after witnessing this.

As the movie ended and the credits rolled to a tune played by Wiz, all the audience members looked satisfied and began to discuss the film excitedly.

The topic on everyone’s lips was, unsurprisingly, Goblin Slayer himself.

After all, the movie’s depiction of the protagonist was unlike anything the audience had ever seen before.

Traditionally, stage play protagonists had their faces obscured by powder and spoke in overly refined and affected ways.

Characters in church propaganda were always depicted as brave and generous heroes, overly righteous but lacking in practical deeds.

As for the overpowered protagonists of the novels popular in the imperial capital, there was no need to even mention them.

In contrast, although Goblin Slayer never showed his face and remained stoic and silent throughout, the audience could feel his genuine humanity.

His actions followed the familiar trope of helping others, but the raw, bloody portrayal of his journey made him feel far more real.

As the audience continued their discussions, someone suddenly shouted.

“Gob–Goblin Slayer?!”

A young man who had been chatting with his friends about Goblin Slayer’s stylish and unique killing methods caught a glimpse of a figure emerging from the premiere stage. Instinctively, he shouted.

The venue erupted in excitement because that figure was none other than Goblin Slayer himself, along with most of the cast from the movie!
