Fair enough. Replacements for the redundant Kidou:

Hadou 10, Metal 1: 球体 (きゅうたい: "Kyuutai"), Orb--Shinji thrusts his palm at the target and sends a metal sphere 2 feet in diameter flying at the target. The projectile moves at the speed of a middling Quincy's arrow's. Shinji can change the direction of the moving sphere up to three times before the spell dissipates.
Hadou 34, Water 1: 海神の通信文 (かいしん の つうしんぶん: "Kaishin no tsuushinbun), Message of the Sea God--Lord of Oceans, Lord of the Sea/ Cleanse the Plains and Cleanse the Mountains/ Your irresistible Wrath leaves no Sin untouched--A pillar of water forms in front of Shinji, flies upwards, and shoots downward at a target. This is a technique Shinji invented, with inspiration from Hibiki's water Hadou.
Also, Japanese names for the rest of Shinji's Kidou:

Hadou 1, Fire 1: 蝋燭 (ろうそく: "Rousoku"), Candle
Hadou 1, Fire 2: 火花 (ひばな: "Hibana"), Spark
Hadou 1, Fire 3: 温める (あたためる: "Atatameru"), Heat
Hadou 10, Metal 2: 笞 (むち: "Muchi"), Whip
Hadou 50, Wood 1: 胎に帰る (はら に かえる), Return to the Womb
Bakudou 1: 足塞 (そくさい: "Sokusai"), Restrain, Foot
Bakudou 10: 鉄傘 (てっさん: "Tessan"), Dome
Bakudou 20: 逆砦 (ぎゃくせい: "Gyakusei"), Inverse Fortress
Bakudou 40: 密集方陣 (みっしゅうほうじん: "Misshuuhoujin"), Phalanx
Bakudou 50: 天岩戸 (Ama no Iwato)
If there are no further objections, I will be adding Shinji and Ikimi to the character registry.
Edit: the next question is where and with who Shinji and Ikimi will be. I was initially hoping that they could be out on patrol and hunting Hollows, but then I realized that this game's plot hasn't really started yet so there doesn't seem to be much action going on. Would it be better for the twins to be in Soul Society instead?
