I always remind myself that when such things happen, it's the character who's talking, not its owner. My characters rarely speak my mind when talking with others.

Also, one thing I'd like to point out: many of the techniques Sei and Raian use are genuinely clever. However, IMHO they shouldn't be "absolute". For instance: the ability to redirect the flow of spiritual energy is cool, but one's ultimate Bankai technique shouldn't be as easy to nullify with it as a non-verbal #1 Hadou spell.

I'm not a fan of raw brute force, but sometimes it does work. Encourage us to think by redirecting/blocking/deflecting simplistic techniques, but don't always make this look as if you were swatting a fly, it can be a little bit demeaning.

You have the right idea, but lost it towards the end. Raian and Sei are not speaking Sei and I's minds. They're speaking their minds. And let me tell you, Raian and Sei are definitely out to humiliate you all. Seireitou in particular is doing everything he can to demean the hell out of Gekko. That's just how they are. When you RP a character, you have to put yourself in their heads, and use their emotions, not yours. And that can be hard, but I know what Raian would do in each situation you've presented me.

Don't ever take anything Raian does as vindictiveness from me. I like you guys. Truly. But Raian does not like a single one of your characters. He just sees them as meat to carve up. He's a Kenpachi and a Hitokiri. That's just how he is.
