After his family was killed by goblins, he became a solo adventurer, specializing in defeating goblins. He is a silver-ranked adventurer. This is an unusual story depicting a showdown between the protagonist and goblins. Here we will summarize some of the most memorable quotes from "Goblin Slayer."
10th Place: The Only Good Goblin Is the One Who Doesn't Show Up in Public

Behind a hidden door at the back of the plaza, goblin children were hiding. Goblins give birth to many children, and they grow rapidly. If left unattended, their numbers will multiply quickly. The priestess who accompanied him thought there was no need to kill baby goblins, and when she asked Goblin Slayer about it, he replied with this famous quote. From Goblin Slayer's perspective, baby goblins would never forget their grudges, and the survivors of the lair would become wise, so he killed them without mercy, with an eye to their future.
9th Place: Unforgivable

"Imagine your family being attacked by goblins." Goblins run around like they own the place, killing friends, family, and escaping. Another example: imagine your sister being attacked, tormented, used as a toy, and then killed. Imagine them laughing and doing whatever they wanted, then throwing away the bodies of your family. Imagine you hid and watched the whole scene from start to finish, holding your breath. These words sum up all of these words in one sentence, filled with the most emotion. They give us a glimpse into Goblin Slayer's feelings.
8th Place: So, to them, I'm just a goblin

The village brags about their strength. "I've chased away goblins before, but they're just weaklings." Those who gain confidence by taking on such stray goblins become adventurers. Meanwhile, goblins who gain experience and survive grow and become known as "migrants." So, "travelers" become den leaders or bodyguards. Goblin Slayer uttered this line after concluding that humans and goblins behave the same. I think this is something that Goblin Slayer only realised because he became so familiar with goblin habits after pursuing them out of jealousy.
7th Place: But Before the World Ends, the Goblins Destroy the Village

The number of demons in the capital is on the rise, and the cause is the resurrection of the demon god. The demon god is leading an army to destroy the world, so let's work together to defeat him. An elf asks, but Goblin Slayer replies, "Try someone else. I'm not interested in anything other than goblins." The elf becomes enraged and says that the fate of the world is at stake, but Goblin Slayer responds with these words. True to his character, he prioritizes defeating goblins over the demon god.
6th Place: Goblins Are Stronger Than You

Goblin Slayer encounters and battles the Ogre. The Ogre is said to have reduced warriors wielding powerful shields to lumps of flesh, and to have burned to death a magician with mastery of numerous spells with a technique that surpasses even theirs. It is said that any adventurer who encounters this ogre is so powerful that they speak of its terrifying power and name. In order to defeat this ogre, a valuable scroll is used. This scroll was prepared to destroy goblin nests. In other words, this scroll is for goblins, and the ogres killed by this scroll are said to be weaker than goblins. A typical Goblin Slayer quote.
5th Place: I'll definitely let him go on an "adventure" someday.

The elf who completed a request with Goblin Slayer hates him, but when he sees Goblin Slayer continue to mow down goblins, he comes to realize this: Adventures are fun, and mindlessly killing goblins isn't an adventure. That's why he said this to Goblin Slayer, to make him understand the joy of adventuring. I'm sure that the elf also lived for 200 years and spent time confined to his own small world, and he regrets not going on an adventure sooner, so he wants to make sure that he doesn't end up like him.
4th Place: Let's Think Slowly

After finishing his childhood friend's errands, Goblin Slayer and his childhood friend return to the ranch to begin work. As darkness falls, Goblin Slayer's childhood friend arrives at his side after a brief respite. The childhood friend hears that Goblin Slayer has been thinking about the future. In contrast, his childhood friend said that everyone gets older and gets injured. They will collapse when they get tired, like they did this time. They will eventually reach their limit. Even if they survive the battle, the day will surely come when they will no longer be able to kill goblins. He thought that when that time came, Goblin Slayer would die. This is why his childhood friend said these words to Goblin Slayer, to keep him from thinking too deeply about the future.

While spending time with his childhood friend, Goblin Slayer discovers a large number of goblin footprints. Based on the footprints, Goblin Slayer predicts that a group of over 100 will attack the area simultaneously, likely within the next day. In response, the childhood friend expects Goblin Slayer to repel them because they are goblins, but Goblin Slayer says that it is impossible to fend off that many on the plains. Because... he then says the following words. Goblin Slayer is merely a goblin hunter, and he knows that he is not a hero. These words are not appropriate for the protagonist, but they are perfect within the context of this story.
2nd Place: My Reward for Defeating 100 Goblins is Everything I Have

Faced with a horde of goblins, Goblin Slayer makes a request to the adventurers. When asked what his reward is, this is the answer. This "everything" includes equipment, assets, abilities, time, and even "life." The adventurers are moved by these words of determination and resolve. As a result, they offer to buy them a drink and accept the request. It's really cool to see Goblin Slayer go to such lengths to protect his childhood friend.
1st Place: Kill All the Goblins

In preparation for a goblin attack, Goblin Slayer builds a fence surrounding the entire village. He also places traps everywhere. However, Goblin Slayer's goal isn't to prevent goblins from invading, but to "eliminate the goblins." The plan is to destroy part of the fence, allowing the goblins to enter, and then lie in wait there for a surprise attack. He utters these words as he faces the onslaught of attacking goblins. I think this line sums up everything about this work. It's truly one of the best quotes.
