* AscendedExtra: In the manga, he is seen in four panels and only gets one line of dialogue before Saito pulls him aside to fight Kenshin. The anime gives him a bit more screen time killing off Ishin Shishi agents. In the OVA, he not only gets more screen time interacting with Saito and killing Ishin Shishi agents during the Ikedaya incident but actually gets to fight Kenshin on-screen before Saito pulls him aside when his tuberculosis starts acting up.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the manga and other early adaptation he manages to fend off Kenshin as his equal for several minutes until his tuberculosis becomes apparent and Saitou volunteers to to take over. In the live action movies....... An the challenge is turned into an entire full fight scene..... That m arks as one of the highlights of the movie...... His tuberculosis symptoms don't come in until near the end of the duel unlike most incarnations where it stops the fight pretty early on... And he more than manages to be Kneshin's equal, he almost overwhelms him and its made obvious its only his sickness that leaves him being at Kenshin's equal! Furthermore his fight with Kenshin as so savage that Kenshin gets mentally worn out and along with orders to retreat he declines a challenge from Saitou. Okita's fight is one of the high points of the prequel movie tot he point we never see a proper confrontation between Saitou and Kenshin!

** To Kenshin. Both work tirelessly to save the people around them so they don't suffer anymore, though Elder does so as a doctor while Kenshin does so as a swordsman, and were willing suppress themselves to do so. However, Elder realizes that she can only do so much in the world she lives in and strives to focus on saving those around her. This is similar to how Kenshin functions as a Rurouni, but only after he went through the trauma he experienced as a Hitokiri.
** To Espiral in the 2023 anime. Espiral made his life goal to challenge the strongest swordsman and travelled all the way to Japan to challenge the strongest "samurai", Hitokiri Battousai. However, when he was utterly trounced by Kenshin, he felt lost with no way forward. By comparison, Elder takes pride in achieving smaller victories, like healing a child's mother, rather than getting lost in attempting to achieve some ultimate goal. It's this mindset that allows Espiral to rethink his life and decides to follow Elder as her bodyguard when she leaves Yokohama.
