The three swordsmen work as a unit, rushing in and cutting Devil Long Hair's hair as fast and as effectively as possible, and manage to defeat him, although they admit it was a difficult opponent, and had they not worked together, they surely would have lost. But Okamaitachi, Iaian, and Bushidrill are attacked by Evil Natural Water, a Dragon-level monster, who defeats all of them and badly injures them, knocking Okamaitachi and Bushidrill unconscious. The three swordsmen are then swallowed up by Pig God, who found them and consumed them, and manages to bring all three of them up to the surface and regurgitate them without any noticeable injuries.

Abilities and Powers

As the A-Class rank 3 hero, it can be assumed that Okamaitachi is exceptionally strong like their fellow disciples. Fubuki states he would have been S-Class if it wasn't for Sweet Mask.

Immense Strength:  As an A-class hero and one of Atomic Samurai's top disciples, Okamaitachi has very impressive strength. He is shown to be strong enough to swing his sword with enough force to create a giant blade of air, something which even Bushidrill is envious of. He's also strong enough to damage the armor of two members of Narinki's Private Squad with his Air Blade, as well as cut through Devil Long Hair's very durable hair.

Immense Speed and Reflexes: Despite being outnumbered, Okamaitachi can dodge and counter attack Narinki's Private Squad in their full powered battle suits with only minor difficulty. Okamaitachi can react to Devil Long Hair, a Demon-level monster, attacking them and can fight back effectively.

Enhanced Senses: Okamaitachi can sense murderous intent around him, and can strike without needing to open his eyes.

Fighting Style

Expert Swordsman: It should be noted that Okamaitachi is under the tutelage of the S-Class hero Atomic Samurai, and is seen wielding a sword. Okamaitachi is exceptionally proficient in swordsmanship.

• Air Blade (飛空剣, Hikūken): Okamaitachi's special technique; by cutting the air, this technique creates a huge blade of wind. Iaian himself states that the technique looks like the work of gods every time he sees it. Okamaitachi further enhances the technique by reading the flow of the air before creating the wind vacuums. However, Devil Long Hair was able to stop the technique with his hair.

Equipment

Katana: Okamaitachi carries a katana with a curved, glossy hilt and a standard cross-guard.

Trivia

• Okamaitachi's title is a portmanteau of okama, kamaitachi and itachi, better known as the sickle-wielding yōkai or a rapid cutting wind. While itachi often called Iaijutsu, is known as a Quick-draw stance in the art of Bushido.
• The origin of Okamaitachi's hero name comes from Okamaitachi's heavy use of the Air Blade technique and being an okama. This confirms that Okamaitachi is in fact a male.
• According to Bushidrill and Iaian, he has idol fantasies.
