I wasn't terribly surprised by the meaninglessly long Gabiru scenes. We have had similar stretching before. This show seems to be for two cours, so the director isn't feeling any hurry whatsoever.

I don't mind Gabiru because he is funny.
He's comedy relief done right. He's a lizard, surrounded by yes-menlizards, arrogant as shit, and his physiology is used to play it up even more. Long-nosed snooty character with their chin high in the air? Gabiru's chin points directly at the sky. Moronic expression of shock when surpassed? Their entire species seems to have it, naturally:

And they even cast Gabiru correctly. The actor is most well known for playing Satou Kazuma in KonoSuba. He's got perfect comedic timing down pat.
His character leads to great reactions like Shion crushing poor Rimuru, or the "Can I kill him~ <3" / "Sure!~ ;>" dialog.
But he's not a complete waste of space. Ranga comes out, and uses the same skill Rimuru did outside of the dwarf city in episode 4. Gabiru didn't flee, become confused, faint, nor soiled himself. So he does have some level of skill.
He has a name. That alone makes him worth a lot more than some random, nameless mob character. Although it did nothing to make him any smarter.Quote:

Kazuma is probably the reason.
He also enabled more scenes for the best Oni - Shion.
Ohh.... her expression of joy when Rimuru jumped back into her arms <3.
He's funny at times, and he brings about some good occurrences in the story. It doesn't change the fact that I'm just hoping someone puts him in his fucking place every time he pops up however. It's closer to a necessary evil than something you enjoy seeing innately.
Gobuta might just be a prodigy. I mean, he learned the shadow step that only Rimuru and the wolves know. Got freaking poison resistance from eating Shion's cooking. Sure he looks goofy but he does train to get stronger.
I assume y'all better get used to Gabiru, because he seems like he's probably going to be one of Rimuru's minions eventually.
Gobta is probably NOT the weakest, though. First he was the first one to Summon his dire wolf, now he can move through shadows. He was also the one goblin that already HAD a name.Quote:

Gobta didn't have a name. The one who had a name was the chief's son who died against the direwolves.
@Darth: The weakest present at the scene maybe ?
Episode 12
---------------------------
*Sigh* Gabiru you dumb fuck, can't wait for Rimuru to save your ass.
Gabiru, you idiot 🐧😸
Gabiru was an idiot last ep.
Now he's just an inexperienced leader lacking crucial available information.
In that ep his character was more on the flamboyant side, better balanced for my tastes even if he's still a moron :D
At least he's likeable.
They're all likable. Best lizardmen ever. But Gabiru ... sigh
I'm scared they're gonna die :(
Well Rimuru did say something like this 'Fear not a smart enemy but a foolish ally.'
Goddamnit Gabiru
That episode felt really, really short.
It's almost weird but it did almost not even advance the plot at all. Most of it, if not all of it, happened in the last 5 minutes.
Still liked it, just a little disappointed though.
In Gabiru's defense, he's clearly being manipulated by some evil dude.
His issue is that he's suggestible as fuck and goes along with whatever whispers happen around him, especially when it strokes his ego.Quote:

Gabiru is a waste of a good lizard skin better used to make wallets and purses.
He also irrationally has faith in the person who gave him his name. Just like pretty much all of Rimuru's followers.Quote:
