I'm very conflicted about Escanor. A character like him and his whole deal is very hard to pull off well. On one hand, I want him to get to do some really cool stuff but on the on the other hand a character actually being "the strongest" and living up to that, specifically on the protagonist side, doesn't work out well. At least, not if they aren't the main protagonist, which Escanor isn't, and even then, only if it's the very end of the series.

And that's the crux of the situation; it's very hard to image Escanor in a satisfying fight once the initial high of him appearing in the series goes away.
