How do the goblins reproduce because it's said that they spread fast but we never once saw a female goblin not even in their hiding spots. Or are some of the goblins we see on screen female and we just can't differentiate between male and female??

They reproduced with human females they captured.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Why do you think they rape girls?

https://goblin-slayer.fandom.com/wiki/Goblins According to the wiki they captured females from others species and use them as carriers. I assume that they are hermafrodites and therefore they produce both gametes their male gamete will always produce male chromosomes XY and they use other species females as incubators.

Goblins are only male so they raid villages or abduct women to rape them to reproduce. That’s why all of the women who encountered goblins are traumatised, especially the sword maiden. And i think the race of the women dont matter. In the anime the goblins also captured elves to reproduce/ rape them.

I think that they even prefer the elves.

If you watch the 1st Episode, I'm pretty sure they covered this. Or at least talked about it in Episode 2. Most people who couldn't take this bailed on the first episode. It's also the reason Sword Maiden is so deeply traumatized by them.

Ye, it's pretty much the entire premise. Men get killed, resources pillaged, women raped and reproduced. That's why goblin slayer slays goblins.

They come from the green moon somehow. But they reproduce in the world using from what we've seen so far female humans and elves. They likely go after all female races, though. This is why Goblin Slayer rips and tears through every goblin he sees.

read carefully kid and implant this into ur homunculous brain , they reproduce by the help of a God that is mangaka , he add them whenever he feels like it ,he can even make dozens of armies if he is in mood.

thank you for all your answers. as you could tell I have the memory of a gold fish (I also watched season 1 like 3 years ago) so I didn't remember the answer to my question. I thought they just raped the women for fun (which is still terribly fucked up) and the semen wouldn't work because they're a different species (like irl where humans can't have babys with animals even if they wanted to) but turns out it works in this universe

In the light novel it says there are no female goblins, so they reproduce with other races (not just humans) like elves, dwarves, and so on...

Well, we indeed saw a group of them rape a girl at the beginning, and I think that happened twice along the whole season if I remember correctly. So, unless they did so just out of evil fun, then it's sure they reproduce sexually, and I guess one might further assume they only do with captured human females as that's the only example we've seen/heard about as far as I remember.

Now, I wasn't expecting today to write an assay on goblins mating and reproduction lmfao.

have you never seen shows with goblins? it's a known and common fact that while there are some females in some shows, they mainly reproduce by raping other species. elves, humans, beasties, etc.

us men will die immediately, might be painful, but it'll be quick. women however could be kept around for years if the little shits don't get carried away and become too rough with them. and to be more fucked up, the babies will rape their own mothers as soon as they're able.

Did you miss the first episode of the show? They use the human women they capture as breeding stock. That’s like 3/4 of what was so f**ked up about the early episodes of goblin slayer
