It establishes a general pattern for the Sekirei as a species:
*Sekirei came to our world to fight, to mate, and to produce strong offspring who can fight even better. They like one-on-one brawls and tests of strength, but without human intervention, they dislike killing. They tend to have an obsession/fascination with the idea of true love with the human they bond with.
But we also meet individual Sekirei who:
*Like to kill
*Hate to fight at all
*Have zero interest in fighting fair
*Will intervene in others’ fights that they think are unfair
*Bonded with someone they care about, but don’t love romantically
*Bonded with someone they don’t care about and are cynically using
*Bonded with a lover of the same sex who (presumably) can’t give them offspring
*Love someone who’s incapable of forming a mystical bond, but don’t care about that and refuse to bond with anyone else
The only “exception” it’s missing is a Sekirei who loves multiple people. Overall, this is a pretty good way of establishing an overall culture/mindset while still allowing for individual variation.
