His hair is long and dark brown, which he wears tied in a ponytail with ropes and a fringe, and his eyes are slanted and red. He wears a checkered scarf and traditional Japanese robes, which are the uniform of the Shinsengumi.

Personality Much is unknown about Okita's personality, but he seems to be an energetic person who is eager to fight, as shown when he watched the fight between Jack and Hercules, as well as sometimes behaving like a curious, somewhat selfish child who has the nickname "little demon".

Ragnarok: Fourth Round Soji Okita is first seen sitting in his private room alongside Isami Kondō, after seeing the outcome of the fourth round battle, Isami notes that being chosen to participate in Ragnarök is an honor since only the strongest men were selected, while Soji Okita just trembles with excitement wanting to be the next to fight. Ragnarok: Fifth Round During the fifth round of Ragnarök, Loki calls Buddha to meet him at a fountain in an area outside the arena. Once the two gods are there, Loki confronts Buddha, who he believes is not on the gods' side, while Buddha only mocks him, saying that he was not listening to him. Loki asks him directly if he is a traitor, to which Buddha replies "So what if I am?". It is at that moment that Bishamonten along with the rest of the Seven Gods of Fortune appear on the scene with the desire to use "Divine Punishment" on Buddha, things between the gods intensify and before a fight can break out between them, Soji Okita makes an appearance along with Isami Kondō and Kojiro Sasaki. Soji eagerly joins Buddha's side, declaring her desire to assassinate a god. However, before the match could begin, Zeus and Odin interrupt them, causing everyone to back off. A very disappointed Okita decides to return to his room with Isami so they can watch the fifth match together. Ragnarok: Sixth Round Soji and Isami were watching the fight between Zerofuku and Buddha. Later, when Papiyas emerged from Zerofuku's body, they were both stunned by the event. Ragnarök: Seventh Round Soji Okita is seen alongside Isami, Kojiro and Hrist watching the fight between Hades and Qin Shi Huang.

Powers and Abilities Tennen Rishin-Ryu Tennen Rishin-Ryu As the captain of the first division of the Shinsengumi, someone who lived during the Bakumatsu era of Japan, Soji has been involved in fights to the death every day of his life. He has killed many men and dodged death countless times, leading him to be known and feared as the strongest killer of the Bakumatsu.

Physical Skills Demon Child (鬼子, Oniko): When Soji reaches the peak of her excitement, her heart begins pumping three times as much blood as normal. This awakens muscle cells throughout her body, allowing Soji to utilize superhuman abilities. As noted by Hermes, while in this state, Soji possesses enough power to slice an opponent in half. A byproduct of this process is that it causes Soji's eyes to glow red. Hampered by an illness during her life on Earth, Soji was never able to use the Demon Child to even half of its true potential. But during the tenth round, thanks to having a healthy body, Soji was able to surpass her previous limits and use the Demon Child to its fullest. By pumping her blood even faster, the sclera of Soji's eyes also turn red while a dark red aura begins to emanate from the rest of her body, especially around her eyes and mouth, giving others the impression that Soji is actually a demon.

Demon Child Release (鬼子・散, Oniko: Chi): By giving everything she has to her Demon Child ability, Soji is able to access Demon Child Release, allowing her to go beyond what she can normally do with Demon Child. In this state, Soji's aura changes from red to blue, the color of the Shinsengumi. However, this ability poses a great risk to Soji's life and using it can result in death. With Demon Child Release, Soji surpasses the limits of humanity, surpassing even the Gods as she can use superhuman techniques nearly impossible for human physiology, capable of delivering them immediately one after another. Godly Speed: Thanks to the Demon Child, Soji can move at incredible speeds, allowing her to easily confuse her opponents in many ways such as giving the illusion of disappearing and reappearing. She can also jump and move with her reflexes in the same rhythm and launch multiple slashes at the same moment. When utilizing the Demon Child to its full potential, Soji can easily create afterimages with her movements for her opponents to strike instead of him and when going all out, she can move fast enough that all one sees of him is a blur. After Soji used Demon Child Release, she gains an additional boost to her speed, leaving behind multiple blurs and afterimages during her assault, unleashing 13-16 sword techniques in a single moment. Godly Strength: When utilizing the Demon Child to its full potential, Soji's physical strength increases to the point where he was able to stop Susano'o from pushing him back when their swords clashed and instead temporarily overpower Susano'o to push the Sword God back. Following her strength boost from Demon Child Release, Soji became strong enough to rip a chunk out of Susanoo's left side and shatter his Onikiri Ame-no-Murakumo. Divine Durability: Due

In Demon Child, Soji is shown surviving attacks that can annihilate surrounding buildings. During round 10 against Susano'o no Mikoto, Soji was able to survive being grazed by Ama no Magaeshi, which decimated a good portion of the Kyoto-era buildings in the arena and then survived a direct hit from Ama no Maegashi, Gathering Clouds, which left a scar on the left side of his body and left him incapacitated. After breaking Susanoo's divine weapon, and Susano'o ends up pulling out his invisible sword, Soji was able to survive having his left arm and leg bone snapped in half.

Fighting Skills Master Swordsman: As the captain of the Shinsengumi's first division, Soji possesses incredible skill with the sword, to the point that he was considered strong enough to be able to fight at Ragnarok. He is considered to be the one at the very top of the assassins of the Bakumatsu era, whose swordsmen Susano'o no Mikoto considers to have perfected swordsmanship to its peak to create the art of "assassination". Supernatural Abilities Golden Age: As a human soul in the afterlife, Soji possesses the appearance and abilities she had during her Golden Age, the age when she was at her peak.
