I've made demands of my roleplaying partner as well, multiple times. It's a mistake most of us do at one point or another. There's different reasons why a character might not use a release, such as with Shunsui fearing it might kill someone he cares about. Other times the Shikai might simply put offer more advantages then and there, given how unwieldy many Bankais are.
