As he put it, "in order for an ultimate good to awaken/exist, it must have an ultimate evil to defeat." This, to me, signifies that the true warrior and true demon are supposed to be two separate entities fighting for dominance. They haven't said anywhere in the manga, to the best of my knowledge, that the true warrior/demon/god was or is one person.
My speculation is that Souichiro, with all of the red feather powers at his disposal, could become either the true demon or the true god. It all depends on two things: 1) whether or not he's able to control all of those powers, which he's done a fairly good job of doing so far; and 2) whether or not he's able to resist/break Souhaku's influence on his mind. Either way, Souichiro has a tough time ahead of him as there is no telling if he'll still be able to control all of the rest of the powers lurking around the school/country once the resonance effect starts to draw them in. That, after all, was Souhaku's plan to draw all of the red feather powers into one "container".
With Maya having the Amaterasu gate, Souichiro bearing the role of Susanoo due to all of his latent power, Aya possessing the Dragon's Eye, and Mitsuomi bearing the role of (we believe) Tsukiyomi, I still believe the closest candidate to being the true warrior is Masataka. The only other candidates would be Asshat, who's injured and doesn't really want to fight anymore; and Bob, who has natural talent as a fighter due to his rhythmic style, well-built physique, and intuition. However, he lacks both the experience and skill that the others seem to possess at this point, and it still isn't clear if Oh Great! has any major plans for him anytime soon, if at all. Hopefully he does, as I wouldn't mind seeing Bob get more action rather than pointless, random, gratuitous sex scenes.
