“	"... It's too bad for you, but I... I... I still can't die here... which is why... You have to die instead!!"	”
	— Loki to Simo Häyhä in Round Eleven

Loki is the Gods' representative in the eleventh round of Ragnarok, going against Simo Häyhä.

Loki is a prominent deity in the Norse Pantheon and the "God of Mischief" (狡こう知ちの神, Kōchi no Kami). Being the most cunning out of all the Gods, Loki is known as the "Vilest Trickster Among the Gods" (神界最凶の悪戯小僧トリックスター, Shinkai Saikyō no Torikkusutā). In contrast to Thor, who's considered as the supreme warrior of the Norse Pantheon, Loki is called as the "Ephemeral Assassin" (無貌むぼうの暗殺者, Mubou no Ansatsu-sha).

Appearance

Loki takes the form of a tall, lean yet muscular man. He wears a cloak, with long sleeves, which are detached from their base. He also wears fingerless gloves and an array of stud ear piercings on each of his ears. He has green hair that goes down to his neck with a white highlight tuft to the left of his face. Loki has purple eyes and his pupils are slanted like that of a goat and he occasionally takes the form of other gods.

Personality

Loki is a playful, sadistic, aloof and sometimes unhinged individual who lusts for carnage, finding it very entertaining.

Loki finds Ragnarok and its unexpected twists exciting

He mostly saw Ragnarok as a joke and, for the first two rounds, just laid back and watched the spectacle unfold. However, after Poseidon was killed by Kojiro Sasaki in the third round, Loki became worried by the fact mere Humans actually had the potential to kill Gods. For this very reason, Loki started to take the event much more seriously.

He is quite confident in his own power as shown when he attacked Buddha and was able to intimidate fellow Gods like Hoteison and Benzaiten with little effort.

Loki also rarely has good posture, as shown when he either limply floats in the air, crouches on a chair or sits on the floor.

He also holds his own race to an extremely high standard, displaying twisted elation seeing them fight and feeling enraged whenever they lose against inferior beings. He also seems to have a hatred towards demigods.

Loki desperately tries to convince Brunhilde.

While Loki isn't supportive of Humanity's survival, he did show an interest in Adam's struggle, Jack the Ripper's trickery and manipulation of Heracles, and while he called Kojiro's win against Poseidon a bad excuse for a joke, moments before it happened, he was shown to be thrilled with the strength that Kojiro had displayed.

Also, one of Loki's important characteristics is his great affection to Brunhilde. Loki's love for her was so deep, that he offered her to save only her from Odin's wrath when the Gods will eventually win the Ragnarok. Despite Brunhilde's rejection, Loki still hoped that she would accept his offer, and was exceptionally joyful when he thought that she accepted it. Another great example of Loki's obsession with Brunhilde is the full-length doll of her within Loki's room, to which he often talks to, like he would talk to the real Brunhilde. Even if his affection seems to be twisted and dark, Loki really has feelings towards Brunhilde, wanting them to be equals, and refusing when she bows to him. After Brunhilde expressed that she wants to kill him to save Humanity, his love seemingly turns into fury and murderous intent, but it can be assumed that Loki still feels something for Brunhilde, since he couldn't bring himself to destroy the doll of her in his rampage, or to sabotage her plans by refusing to fight. Even in the 11th round where Loki chose to fight Simo Häyhä, he felt guilt as through winning he'd sabotage Brunhilde's plans, but at the same time he has indicated that he cannot afford to lose and die.

Abilities

Physical Abilities

Godly Strength: Despite his lean frame, Loki has displayed tremendous amounts of physical strength, shown when he managed to wreck his own room by simply pressing his fingers against the floor and tearing apart the same floor with his finger strength alone. The same terrifying pressure exerted from his fingers shattered his couch and sent his artificial replicas of animals into the ceiling, which left large cracks in it, with the dolls themselves getting dismembered from the force alone.

• Immense Dexterity and Accuracy: Alongside superhuman strength, Loki possesses and extreme levels of coordination and dexterity, proven when he managed to leave the human-sized Brunhilde doll unscathed, despite the great destruction he caused on his own room, which included shattering apart the floor and leaving large tears on the walls, that even reached up to the ceiling.

Godly Speed ​​& Reflexes: Loki displayed unfathomable speed & reaction time, capable of commanding his Illusions to block the bullet's path, see the bullet's trajectory and even summon the Shield of Skuld before Simo Hayha's "Lemminkainen" hit him. It was stated that for a god with sharpened senses, catching up to the speed of a bullet is no big deal.

Mental Abilities

Keen Intellect: Loki is a very sagacious and intelligent individual, as seen when he noticed and detected the discrepancies in the Valkyries's "Völundr" ability and determined it had something to do with Buddha and correctly discerned his betrayal to the Gods. He was also the second one to notice the true nature of Jack's Völundr, straight after Heracles himself.

Expert Craftsmanship: Loki has shown to be talented in various forms of craftsmanship such as forming glass bottles resembling faces of person/God or making life-sized dolls of people like Brunhilde. For the Brunhilde doll, he even went as far as crafting eyes and hair that resemble Brunhilde's.

Expert Taxidermist: In his private quarters, Loki houses multiple taxidermied animals such as a tiger, antelope, zebra, snake, eagle and more. These are likely done by himself personally as he's shown enough skill to craft a life-sized doll of a person by hand. In addition, Loki has shown a high degree of knowledge regarding the body such as when Adam suffered from using Divine Reflection extensively or when he knew how serious Jack the Ripper's wound was upon being impaled by a metal spike earlier in the fight with Heracles. This skill is showcased in the 11th round where Loki uses his Taxerdermist knowledge to "input" a living (or non-living) details and "output" them as a clone.

Fighting Abilities

Expert Chainman: Loki possesses some skill and proficiency in wielding his divine dual-chained hooks.

Supernatural Abilities

Semi-Immortality: As a God, Loki has a limitless lifespan and will not die of old age.

Divine Physiology: As a God, Loki possesses physical abilities far greater than any ordinary Human. His body can not be harmed by mortal weapons. However, he can still be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons.

Shapeshifting: As the God of Mischief, Loki can change his form and appearance at will to deceive other people, though he usually does this for his own amusement. His proficiency in shapeshifting is so immense that he can trick Huginn & Muninn when he took the form of Thor.

Levitation: Loki's main form of movement is floating in the air, only on rare occasions is he seen walking.

Techniques

	Heimskringla (Ring of The Jester) (道化師の環ヘイムスクリングラ, Heimusukuringura): Loki's innate ability to "copy everything in the creation". If he touches something or someone, he can memorize and store the object's information. With this information, he can recreate what he stored, be it objects, humans or gods. While he can create more copies, he only can create five at one time without his divine weapon. The beings created by the Heimskringla, despite that they are identical in appearance, they don't have any uniform abilities or notable attributes. Instead, Loki can distribute the power between them, applying individual differences to his own liking.
	Shield of Skuld (スクルドの防壁, Sukurudo no Bōheki): Loki uses Heimskringla to conjure a piece of a stonewall with a an ornate wooden door with glass windows in it to defend himself. This wall has a decent durability, since it was able to halt Simo Häyhä's Lemminkäinen, a powerful piercing attack for a few seconds. Loki, who has high intellect and tactical skills among the gods, thought that this technique would be able to completely deflect the Lemminkäinen, even after he saw it tearing through the copies of Odin, Thor and Heracles, though eventually failing to do so.

Equipment

	Andvaranaut (Ring of Proliferation) (増殖する指輪アンドヴァラナウト, Andovaranauto): Loki's Divine Weapon, Andvaranaut takes the form of a silver ring decorated with flower symbols, which Loki wears on his right ring finger. It has the power to stretch out the limits of Loki's Heimskringla, making possible to create infinite amount of copies with it, covering the ability's weak points efficiently.
	Dual Chained Hooks: Two sharp, long-range weapons. Loki summons his twin chained hooks through the palms of his hands. The black circle design that is on both of his gloves turns into a portal through which the hooks fall.
