Overall Favourite Character of the Series:
Julius
Favourite 3 Arcs:
1. Reincarnation Arc
2. Witches Forest Arc
3. Seabed Temple Arc
Favourite moments of each one of the arcs mentioned:
1. The whole Patri-William reveal and his fight against Julius and the way he won against him. Also learning that the Licht we knew wasn't really Licht, but Patri all along. Licht's introduction too. The anime did a really good job with both of these. Zagred being the mastermind of everything.
2. Asta's demonic transformation and the true objectives of the Witch Queen, as well as her relationship with Vanessa. I greatly enjoyed the reunion between Mars and Fana too.
3. The Black Bulls' teamwork against a foe that far outclassed them. It showed how pure strength isn't the only thing it matters. Seeing Yami's dimensional Slash for the first time was also a good moment.
Favourite Three Fights:
I'm going to mention a lot the Anime Version, because I feel like the studio really nailed those and considerably exceeded the manga version. If I had to take into account only the manga then Zagred vs Everyone and Vetto vs the Black Bulls would be the best for me. But taking the anime into account too:
1. Julius vs Patri (Anime Version)
2. Licht vs Asta and Yuno (Anime Version)/Yami vs Patri (Anime Version)
3. Zagred vs Everyone/Vetto vs the Black Bulls
In the end, I just couldn't say three fights and had to tie some, haha.
