Contents:
J. R. R. Tolkien's books The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy have influenced the story of Goblin Slayer.
Examples[]
Chapter 20 of the manga mentions the dwarves digging too deep and unleashing a powerful demon, and example to Durin's Bane.
Burglar asks Goblin Slayer a riddle, "What have I got in my pocket?", which Bilbo Baggins asked Gollum once in a game of riddles. Bilbo Baggins was also hired by dwarves to be a burglar in The Hobbit.
Goblin Slayer: Volume 2 Chapter 11 is titled There And Back Again, which is what Bilbo Baggins was to call his book he was writing about his adventures.
The elves call Goblin Slayer Orcbolg, and there is an orc named Bolg in The Hobbit. The elves claim Orcbolg was the name of a legendary sword that glowed when goblins were near, just like the weapons Glamdring, Sting, and Orcrist did in the Tolkien's works.
