Personality
Jai is somewhat arrogant, as he does not take his enemies seriously. He is also rather aggressive, as he attempts a sneak attack on Senna, even though he was only ordered to capture her.

Bleach: Memories of Nobody
Jai is present with Ganryū in the Human World when he observes Senna fighting the Blanks.

Later, Jai and the rest of the Dark Ones are sent to the Human World to capture Senna. Jai confronts Senna and tells her that Ganryū sent him to capture her. Senna refuses to go with Jai and tries to fight him, but he overwhelms her. However, before he can leave, Ichigo Kurosaki arrives and cuts off his arm, making him release Senna. Jai attempts to start fighting Ichigo, but Riyan stops him, telling him it wasn't time to capture Senna just yet. Jai then disappears with the rest of the Dark Ones.

The next day, Jai joins the Dark Ones in ambushing the Shinigami, who have arrived in the Human World to take Senna into custody. Jai attacks Ichigo and fights him, using the Blanks to regenerate his arm in the process.

Ganryū eventually captures Senna, and Jai ceases fighting Ichigo and regroups with the rest of the Dark Ones. After Ganryū uses the Blanks as bombs to distract the Shinigami, he attempts to leave, but Ichigo activates his Bankai and stops them from leaving. Jai and the other Dark Ones try to stop him, but Ichigo passes all of them and moves to attack Ganryū. However, Ganryū manages to catch Ichigo off-guard, which enables him and the rest of the Dark Ones to leave.

Ganryū eventually utilizes Senna to begin the process of making the Valley of Screams collapse. Ichigo arrives shortly after the process starts, but Jai and the rest of the Dark Ones fight him and prevent him from reaching Senna. However, Ichigo soon receives assistance from various Shinigami from the Gotei 13, who manage to separate the Dark Ones from each other.

Jai and Bau still manage to block Ichigo's advance towards Senna, but with assistance from Renji Abarai and Rukia Kuchiki, he is able to get through. Jai then begins fighting Rukia, exclaiming that he'll kill Ichigo after he kills her.

As their fight drags on, Jai eventually corners Rukia. But as Jai closes in on her, Rukia releases her Shikai, Sode no Shirayuki, and activates her Some no mai, Tsukishiro, which destroys Jai's body. However, Jai duplicates himself in his many blades that circle Rukia and resumes his attack on her. Although Jai seems to have an advantage over her, Byakuya Kuchiki arrives and releases his Bankai, which he uses to kill all of Jai's duplicates.

Riyan is a focused individual, as he primarily focuses on his objectives whenever he is given a mission, even going as far as reprimanding Jai for wasting time talking when they were assigned to capture Senna. Riyan is also fiercely loyal to Ganryū, addressing him as the rightful ruler of the Soul Society.

Bleach: Memories of Nobody
Under Ganryū's orders, Riyan and the other Dark Ones arrive in a graveyard at night to retrieve Senna. As Jai talks to Senna, Riyan reprimands him for wasting time. Jai soon subdues Senna, but is unable to detain her when Ichigo Kurosaki arrives and cuts off his arm. Jai recovers, but Riyan stops him from retaliating, as it was not yet time for them to capture Senna. Riyan and the other Dark Ones then leave.

The next day, when the Gotei 13 arrive to detain Senna, the Dark Ones ambush the Shinigami, and Riyan scatters their forces about with his explosives. Riyan then fights Tōshirō Hitsugaya, holding the captain off until Ganryū captures Senna. As Ganryū tries to leave, Ichigo confronts the Dark Ones on his own. Riyan, along with the rest of the Dark Ones, try to halt Ichigo's advance, but he bypasses them all and confronts Ganryū. However, Ganryū uses a concealed spear to impale Ichigo, enabling him and the rest of the Dark Ones to leave before any of the Shinigami can give chase.

Later, Senna regains consciousness in the Valley of Screams and demands to know what the Dark Ones plan to do with her. Riyan demands her to treat Ganryū with respect, but Ganryū tells him that he does not care about formalities at this point.

As the Blanks begin to converge towards Senna, Ichigo interferes and tries to save Senna, but Riyan and the rest of the Dark Ones prevent him from doing so. However, many Shinigami arrive to assist Ichigo, fighting each of the Dark Ones and the Blanks, allowing Ichigo to get passed most of the Dark Ones.

Riyan confronts Hitsugaya once again, confident that he'll be able to kill the young captain. He fires numerous explosives from his rocketpack at Hitsugaya, keeping the young captain on the defensive until he seemingly corners him. However, Hitsugaya activates his Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru, surprising Riyan. Riyan tries to fire more explosives, but becomes horrified when he learns that Hitsugaya froze the Blanks pouring into his rocketpack. Knowing Riyan could no longer defend himself, Hitsugaya attacks him with his Bankai, leaving Riyan encased in ice.

Ganryū manages to begin the process of making the Valley of Screams collapse, but Ichigo invades the Valley of Screams. Benin and the other Dark Ones manage to hold him off, but Ichigo soon receives help from the Gotei 13, who have come to assist him to rescue Senna. Benin attempts to fight Rangiku Matsumoto, but retreats once she releases her Shikai.

Later, Benin attempts to kill Yumichika Ayasegawa with a crossbow, but is confused when her arrow does not hit him. Suì-Fēng calls out to her and reveals that she caught her arrow. Benin and Suì-Fēng then fight, with Suì-Fēng avoiding and blocking each of Benin's strikes. When the mark of a Hōmonka appears on Benin's chest, she manages to catch Suì-Fēng off-guard and begins to strangle her with the chain of her daggers.
