Anime Differences

 * The vines attacked Subaru without him attempting to touch the flower.
 * Ram did not use a cane while capturing Subaru.
 * Ram's fight against Wilhelm and Ricardo is cut. Instead, she is stopped by Wilhelm's sword, and she reveals her identity instead of Subaru guessing who she is based on her voice. Also Felix assisted with Wilhelm and Ricardo instead of Julius.

 * The Ketty Petelgeuse's death is moved off screen and Aro and Ik's protecting Subaru and Julius is cut.
 * The fourth Petelgeuse, the female one, has her death changed. In the anime she is ripped apart by a group of Wolgarm off screen while in the light novel she receives a fatal wound from one Wolgarm and dies from blood loss in front of Subaru. In addition, Patrasche's appearance and the female Petelgeuse throwing things with her Unseen Hands is cut.
 * The Emilia vs Petelgeuse fight is shortened, cutting out Petelgeuse using other Witch Cult members as shields and Emilia's physical combat.
 * A scene where Emilia sheds a tear after noticing the villager's stares following her battle against Petelgeuse is added.
 * Julius and Ferris chase after Subaru instead of only Julius chasing after him with Ferris and Wilhelm arriving soon after.
 * A scene where Emilia turns to look at the forest the moment Julius kills Subaru and Petelgeuse is added.

Trivia
