Cipher of the Goblin signal

There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about signal. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, signal occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

The goblin closing argument on signal consists of pointing at signal, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
