Anime Differences

 * Subaru and Ram's conversation on the way to Irlam Village is cut.
 * Part of Ram's discussion with Subaru is given to Petra.
 * Parts of Subaru and Julius' discussion is cut including Ram's presence.
 * Subaru's discussion with the merchants is cut.
 * Ferris and Julius are present when Subaru regains consciousness. Parts of their scene is cut including Ferris mentioning that he died once.
 * 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

 * The second verse of Stay Alive was used as the ending theme for this episode instead of the first verse.
