## Ragnarok

Over a hundred years after his death, when all of the Gods decide to end all of Humanity, Brunhilde points out a clause known as Ragnarok, which gives Humanity a fighting chance. All of the Gods reject the idea until Brunhilde insults their pride, causing them to agree. Soji Okita is one of the peak human warriors selected to participate and fight against the Gods' Fighters.

### Fourth Round

In his private room, Soji, alongside Isami Kondo, were observing the duels. After the fourth round between Heracles and Jack the Ripper ended, Soji marveled at how there seemed to be a lot of strong people. Isami named the four fighters for Humanity who had gone up so far and said to Soji that it was a true honor to be selected as a representative for Ragnarok. Restless, Soji began wondering when his turn would be.

### Fifth Round

During the fifth round, Loki and the Seven Lucky Gods intended to fight Buddha, who may have betrayed them, and Kojiro Sasaki showed up to assist him, as he didn't like them ganging up on one person.

He was promptly followed by Soji and Isami Kondo. Soji was excited to see so many Gods present and Hoteison warned him to get lost before Soji asked them to let him join in on the fun.

After Loki told Kojiro that as Gods, they make things go their way, Soji relayed his belief to Isami that Loki was a bad God and wished to cut him down, which Isami supported. But before a fight could break out, Zeus and Odin showed up to stop them.

Soji found the ravens on Odin's shoulders to be cute before Odin expelled a large pressure to stop the groups from fighting, which scared Isami, who kept Soji back. After Loki and the Seven Lucky Gods left, Soji was disappointed at how the situation turned out but Isami told him these things happen before they left, alongside Kojiro, to watch the rest of the fifth round between Shiva and Raiden Tameemon back in Soji's room.

### Sixth Round

Soji watched Buddha's introduction in the sixth round, alongside Isami Kondo. When Buddha spoke through the Gjallarhorn to the audience and bluntly told them that he'll be fighting for Humanity and not the Gods, the entire audience were shocked while Soji was seen to be smiling. Later on in the fight. Soji was shown to be shocked when Hajun was able to block Buddha's **Salakayas** and pierced through his stomach. He was also shown to be shocked when Hajun broke Buddha's **Salakayas** after he turned his left arm into a sword. After Buddha performed **Völundr** with Zerofuku's **Misery Cleaver** and gained a new Divine Weapon, Isami exclaimed he was going toe-to-toe with Hajun now but Soji thought Buddha was at a disadvantage, due to the wounds he sustained and his missing left eye. Soji was then taken aback when Hajun seemingly cut Buddha's head in half, only for it to have been an illusion he cut. After Buddha dealt the finishing blow, **Mahapari Nirvana**, Soji was shown to be celebrating, alongside Isami.

### Seventh Round

Soji watched the beginning of the seventh round between Hades and Qin Shi Huang alongside Kojiro Sasaki, Hrist and Isami Kondo in Soji's room. During the fight, when Qin Shi Huang revealed his ability to be able to disrupt Hades' Qi with just a puff of air, Soji expressed a desire to fight him, which both Isami and Kojiro agreed with.

They continued to watch and were shocked when Hades brought out his trump card, **Ichor: Desmos**, and used it to gouge out Qin Shi Huang's left shoulder. Soji, alongside Kojiro and Isami, immediately figured out that Qin Shi Huang would no longer be able to redirect Hades' attacks with his left arm unusable and since Hades countered Qin Shi Huang's ability to disrupt Qi by covering his body with blood, all three swordsmen believed it was over. After Qin Shi Huang recast his **Almighty Spaulders** into the **Shi Huang Goujian Sword**, Soji was shown to be watching as Qin Shi Huang and Hades stood off against each other.

When Qin Shi Huang tried countering Hades' **Ichor: Eos** with **Chi You – Sword Form: Shi Huang Yan Cut** but failed and lost his left arm, Soji didn't look surprised. However, Qin Shi Huang got back up and Isami expressed his belief that he was as good as dead since his secret techniques were made ineffective and his left arm was gone. But Soji didn't agree since he could tell from Qin Shi Huang's eyes that he hadn't given up yet, leading Kojiro to assume he must have a plan. Soji then watched as both fighters prepared to clash for the final time.

When Qin Shi Huang managed to hold back Hades' spear by using **Heavenly Hand of Defense** through his sword, Soji thought that was absurd since he'll get crushed. He was then shocked when Qin Shi Huang fired **Tortoise Ripple** at a Qi crux in **Desmos**, which weakened it and allowed Qin Shi Huang to turn Hades' power against him. He then destroyed **Desmos** as a result, leaving Soji speechless.

After Qin Shi Huang cut Hades down and was declared the winner, Soji celebrated his victory alongside the other swordsmen and Hrist. Soji agreed with Kojiro that Qin Shi Huang's victory was a shocker and explained to Hrist that part of the reason why Qin Shi Huang was able to destroy **Desmos** was because he used Hades' own power against him. As he sat back, Soji called Qin Shi Huang an interesting guy as his all-or-nothing move could've resulted in him losing instead, had he taken a misstep.

### Eighth Round

Soji watched the beginning of the eighth round between Beelzebub and Nikola Tesla alongside Kojiro Sasaki, Hrist and Isami Kondo in Soji's room. He was shown to be surprised when Tesla constructed the **Gematria Zone**. Inside the **Gematria Zone**, Tesla was able to float using anti-gravity and Soji was seen being taken aback when Tesla was able to dodge Beelzebub's **Sorath Vau** while jumping back, with his back towards the ground.

After Tesla used the **Tesla Warp** to teleport behind Beelzebub to land a direct hit, Soji was shocked as Isami exclaimed that he didn't even see Tesla move, questioning how he moved that quickly. Soji told him that he didn't think Tesla actually moved and Kojiro agreed that he certainly "disappeared." Beelzebub tried to finish things off with the **Original Sin of the Netherworld - No.0: Chaos** but Tesla survived and their fight continued, with Tesla eventually covering himself with electricity.

He proceeded to use **Plasma Pulse Punch Moebius**, an unceasing barrage of punches that Beelzebub was forced to keep blocking with his barrier. Upon seeing the speed at which Tesla was moving at, Soji was surprised and exclaimed he couldn't see where one punch ended and when the next began. But due to the internal damage he suffered from **Chaos** earlier, Tesla was forced to pause and before he could resume his barrage, Beelzebub pushed his barrier up against him to prevent him from going on the offensive again.

After utilizing **Plasma Pulse Punch Jet** to propel himself forward, Tesla launched a right hook at Beelzebub's barrier, only for Tesla's right arm to disappear, seemingly due to making contact with the barrier, surprising Soji, Beelzebub and the rest of the audience. It turned out that Tesla teleported his right fist behind Beelzebub and caught him in a pincer attack. Unfortunately, this final gambit didn't work and Beelzebub was able to pierce through Tesla's heart. In his last moments, Tesla made a rousing speech to the rest of Humanity before vanishing and being sent to Niflhel. As Hrist mourned her sister's death, Soji was seen with his head down.

### Ninth Round

Soji watched the ninth round between Apollo and King Leonidas, along with Kojiro Sasaki, Hrist and Isami Kondo in his room. After Apollo constrained their fight to close-quarters to best Leonidas at his specialty, he used his threads to immobilize Leonidas' right arm and punched Leonidas in the face. Apollo then bunched up his threads into bands of thicker threads and wrapped them all around his right arm, delivering a heavy blow to Leonidas' face again, which shocked Soji and his fellow spectators.

In the final stages of the fight, Leonidas explained to Apollo that he wasn't fighting for revenge nor was he fighting for Humanity: he was fighting because this was his time to fight. Leonidas insisted they couldn't choose how they were born so they could at least choose how to live or die. While this speech impressed Kojiro and Hrist, it resonated a lot with Soji, mainly because he wasn't able to choose how to die his way. Soji then watched with anticipation as both Leonidas and Apollo prepared their final attacks. When Apollo's **Argyrotoxos** clashed against Leonidas' **Phalanx Lambda**, the giant arrowhead covering his right arm shattered upon impact with Leonidas' shield, which surprised Soji and the others. In the end, Apollo's final attack still got through and he landed a fatal blow through Leonidas, killing him.

After the ninth round ended with Apollo's victory, Hrist was mourning Geirölul's death. Kojiro remarked on how that was a battle to be proud of as he never flinched against Apollo and fought him head-on until the end. Isami agreed and he called Leonidas a "warrior of truth," calling his death a spectacular end. At that moment, Soji expressed how jealous he was and explained to a curious Kojiro that he wished to fall in a spectacular battle too, having died from illness instead. Isami could sympathize with Soji since he was executed instead of dying in battle.

### Tenth Round

Soji and Isami Kondo went out of Soji's room to find Brunhilde at the Akashic Records room. Brunhilde was panicking over the two consecutive losses of Humanity and was in a dilemma on which of the remaining fighters she should send to fight for the tenth round. Just as Göll pointed out the remaining fighters' names, Soji appeared behind them and volunteered to go next, swearing he won't lose to anyone. Brunhilde accepted Soji's request and referred to him as Humanity's strongest "Manslayer." Soji thanked her and drew his katana, declaring he shall go forth as the Shinsengumi's First Division Captain.
