Personality[]
Loki is a playful, sadistic, aloof and sometimes insane individual who craves carnage, finding it highly entertaining.

Because of this, Loki has started taking the event much more seriously.

Loki almost always floats in mid-air, and when he doesn't, he crouches in a chair or sits on the floor. He takes great pride in being a God and shows tremendous euphoria when he sees other Gods fight, then becomes enraged whenever they lose to Humans. He seems to hate Demigods.

To help Loki come the Seven Lucky Gods, while to help Buddha come Kojiro Sasaki, Soji Okita and Isami Kondo, but in the end Odin and Zeus intervene and stall the battle, prompting Loki and the others to retreat.
