User blog comment:DazzlingEmerald/Not Another One! Fanon Canon: Plot "Z" (Soul Society Civil War)/@comment-18812574-20150412044823/@comment-2089817-20150412053421

I just want to add in, Raian isn't looking to start a civil war. To him, if Soul Society doesn't butt into his affairs, he doesn't want anything to do with them. But of course, the Gotei won't let that slide.

At any rate, Dazz's plot doesn't necessarily mean Raian's role is diminished. I, for one, would prefer multiple factions running around rather than a simple texas stand off between Shinigami and Quincy. Shit like that gets boring.
