I'd glad you found it helpful, truth be told, I actually got the idea to write this after yet another rehab attempt at Gekko from your side. Since you're not the only one to fall into this pattern, I know of a few others who've done so too.

When it comes to Medium & Expression, that is something I see done incorrectly quite a lot, I'm guilty of it myself to be fair. Its especially easy to fall into this trap if you aim to make powerful characters; usually people assume that since scope = power, their elemental zanpakuto should have ALL variations of the element. In doing this, its very easy to lose the expression.
