Goblin Slayer and his party head up to the snowy mountains in the north after receiving that request from the Sword Maiden to find any information on the Noble Fencer that disappeared after leaving to slay some goblins. A small village gets attacked, they encounter a mysterious chapel, and something about how these goblins are acting bothers the Goblin slayer. In order to save the captured Noble Fencer, the Goblin Slayer and his party head to an ancient fortress covered in snow to face off with a powerful foe and a horde of goblins!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film adapts light novel volume 5, but director Ozaki added original scenes specifically to show Goblin Slayer's face—something the novels notoriously refuse.
Goblin Slayer's 'dice' obsession directly references tabletop RPG culture, specifically the tension between player agency and cruel DM rolls—a meta-commentary on dark fantasy itself.

The only good goblin is a dead goblin, SO LET'S MAKE THESE GOBLINS GOOOOOOD! How'd a pig get in here?
@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache 112
It's more of 20 minute recap and then a 1 hour OVA than a full length movie
