'''Year One''' is a prequel to '''Goblin Slayer''' and is mostly about filling in the gaps between when Goblin Slayer's village was destroyed and the beginning of the main story. The title and premise is a reference to the [[Batman]] series of the same name. '''Year One''' is [[Skub|divisive]] due to it filling out gaps which some anons believe only added to the mystery of the main character, while others are just happy to have more '''Goblin Slayer'''. Much of the story thus far details the first encounters and interactions between Goblin Slayer and the many recurring characters who appear in the main story, as well his growth and development from a PTSD-suffering novice to, presumably, his Silver-rank self.

Two light novels have thus far been released, with a third scheduled to be published in 2021. The manga adaptation has outpaced the light novels and features stories that haven't yet been published.
