Thousand Fold Blade

Golden Blade should be built 100% of the time with Baka and Qin Sais should be built around 90% of the time (only time you don't is with crit build).

- Although
Qin's Sais is a solid item for Baka, I believe you're building it too early in his specific case. You've got other items that I feel give better utility at key points of a game. Note that Qin's gives x% bonus damage based on enemy health being over 2k. It's usually later in a match that you start seeing those health levels, and Baka has true damage via 
Butcher Blades that most other gods don't have. He can use that bonus damage, but I think he has other early priorities. It should be a late item for him.
- If you decide on
Golden Blade as your first item, this is okay for clearing function. You have a choice at that point. You can go 
Ninja Tabi as you list, or you can consider 
Hastened Katana much earlier than you list. Katana has a bit higher AS than Ninja, provides 10% MS which, combined with GB gives you more than when gods just get Boots/Shoes, and is great for early aggression to help you stick to gods. Another option is the next comment.
Stone Cutting Sword is also a very functional item for him; why is it not listed? It can work in both Bruiser and Assassin item listings. (Also, I'm not sure why you're separating bruiser and assassin concepts...you're in Solo, so I'd just keep it all together) It can be a decent 2nd item. Although it's expensive, if you're in Solo against a physical solo laner, it'll steal prots from them and give it to you.
- Altogether here, what you'd probably be better looking at would be dropping Tabi altogether, and going like, Golden/Katana (in whichever order you prefer), and then SCS for good pen function. That'll also be more than enough MS for you for the rest of the game.
- I get the idea of
Frostbound Hammer. However, I feel that's cutting Baka's potential down. Even in solo, you want to be aggressive. That means Hastened over Frost.
Berserker's Shield is being built too late. I also feel you probably don't need it. In that 3rd spot in your bruiser build, you could have clear (Golden), sticking (Katana), and better protection equivalence at full stacks (SCS). You can use potions for your early sustain, along with 
Eat Minion.
- That crit build is a
Asi doesn't cut it. Don't go crit on Baka. Just don't.
- Someone else correct me if I'm wrong here, but skill leveling seems off. For clearing purposes, you probably want
Take Down to be the first level...not level 4. It's got AOE so you can hit multiple targets, it's got very good level 1 damage, it's your escape/initiation, and it provides bonus damage for a time. Level 4 is waaaaaay too late. Also Focusing on 
Butcher Blades that early in the build seems less effective when you don't really have much AS to take advantage of it, though maybe the passive power helps some. At level 3, I expect you'll want 1 level in each skill.
- Baka does great with some protections. You DO have
Magi's Cloak listed, and that's good, but you should also consider some other items, depending on matchups and enemy team comp...
Hide of the Urchin, 
Shogun's Kusari, 
Hide of the Nemean Lion can all help. They should be listed.
Blink Rune should be a relic option.
- Oh and don't go double-lifesteal.
Overall, build can be improved in various ways.hotbit of a mess. Yes, Butcher does true damage and that portion of his kit doesn't need the pen. However, that's bonus damage on top of your regular basic attack, and your basic attacks (and crit multipliers) ARE subject to damage mitigation from protections. You need pen, and just
