The antithesis to the original Seikūken. Instead of extending the radius of the Seikūken, Ryuusui Seikuuken turns that principle inward, reducing it to a thin layer above the skin to dodge the opponent's attacks at the last possible moment. This principle is necessary because dodging at the final moment before an attack hits saves time and energy. An absolutely calm mind is necessary to use it, as even a slight degree of emotion will disrupt the technique.

There are 3 levels in Ryuusui Seikuuken. These levels could also be thought of as steps in a sequence to the next level:

  1. Read the opponent's flow.
  1. Combine the opponent's movements with your own.
  2. Overpower the opponent by anticipating his moves and use his flow against him before he even thinks of it.

The key is to mount an offense in between an opponent's attacks, which requires a great deal of precision and timing.

Hayato Furinji taught this technique to Kenichi Shirahama probably because Kenichi already has a vast knowledge of fundamental martial arts, which he gained from his masters. Kenichi's knowledge allows him to react to his opponent more intuitively.

In Battle 346, Ethan Stanley mentioned that although the user is looking into their opponents eyes, they're really focusing in on their breathing. Thus, the technique, or at least, the first level, may be disrupted by yoga breathing techniques.

This move is described by Miu as the ultimate form of Sei. Ikki Takeda can also use the technique, but only up to the first level. Ma Kensei commented that, "It's shallow, but Ryuusui Seikuuken has definitely been activated".

This technique involves understanding one's opponent and feeling their rhythm. Through this, the user may be able to sense the nature of their opponent's spirit and inadvertently lose concentration based on what they discover. This happens to Kenichi when he is disgusted by how corrupted Miu had become through adopting a violent, destructive spirit.
