Kanba changed his mind pretty quickly.

Spoiler:

He went from thinking "why can't it be me?" to "I'm the only one who can save Himari." I wonder what changed? Is he referring to the fact that only he can afford her medicine? It could be that he knows what the Penguindrum is.

Anyway, some speculation for future episodes: I think that Himari is going to be the one to pull Kanba into the Takakura household, not Sho or Kenzan and Chiemi. She became a Takakura before him, and Masako seems to blame Himari for taking him from the family. Maybe she "saved" him somehow, and he ended up falling in love with her. So now he feels like he has to keep saving her as repayment.

Edit: I'm surprised by how much I like Masako and Kanba as siblings. They're actually a very cute family. I wonder if Masako is actually as much of a brocon as she seems? She did give him that big kiss in episode 10 and she was painting a huge portrait of him as a prince. It seems like she does remember that he's her brother.
