“Goblin Slayer” Episode 8 will see an injured protagonist waking up next to the warmth of a naked woman’s body, which is something that fans of the anime never thought they would see. After all, Orcbolg is known for only being interested in goblins and how to exterminate them, never giving a thought to anything else. However, there might actually be a good reason for why there is a nude female form beside him as he recovered from severe injuries.
Now, it’s not uncommon for warriors to seek out the comfort of feminine bodies after a great fight, as many fantasy TV shows and movies have showcased many times before. However, when fans last saw Goblin Slayer, he wasn’t exactly in the condition for any intensive physical activities. What’s more, the naked person that he wakes up next to in “Goblin Slayer” Episode 8 is Priestess, herself. Is it possible that something actually happened between these two?
This is unlikely and if there are any fans disappointed by this, it is what it is. No, the act of sleeping next to an injured person, in nothing but her birthday clothes, is actually an ancient form of healing. In fact, it wasn’t just Priestess who slept beside Orcbolg in “Goblin Slayer” Episode 8 completely nude. The sword maiden did so, as well.
It would also appear that this is normally an extremely expensive form of treatment, open only to those who had the means to afford it. However, since Goblin Slayer did get injured while doing the job that he was assigned by the sword maiden, he was given special treatment. What’s more, having someone like Priestess who admires Orcbolg unconditionally helps a lot in “Goblin Slayer” Episode 8.
“Goblin Slayer” Episode 8 airs on Nov. 24. Fans will want to keep an eye out for this particular episode to learn more about the show’s world.
