Sōji Okada

"If you are strong, you live. If you are weak, you die. That is the truth... that Mr. Sōkudo taught me. But... is it that bad to be weak? I killed people... But, killing people wasn't... Killing people wasn't... That's right. I was smiling in the rain, but I... In reality, I... In reality, I really was... In reality, I was crying."

- Sōjiro's conflicting thoughts between Sōkudo's teachings and Seireitou's beliefs.

Sōjiro Okita (宗次郎沖田, Okita Soujiro) is a former leader of the first division of Shinsengumi. He, along with Saiga Ūtakata, works as a direct assistant to Sōkudo.

Quotes

 * (Regarding Seireitou Kawahiru) "I will throw away my pride... and fight you at full strength. Otherwise... I won't find an answer, even if I win. Whether or not the correct one is truly him... or if it is indeed Mr. Sōkudo. I will see to the bottom of it... with my blade."

Behind the Scenes
Sōjiro is based on Okita Sōji, a member of the Shinsengumi, and also on Seta Sōjiro from Rurouni Kenshin.
