Yep, Kanata becomes vastly more layered and interesting with each successive episode of this arc. Up until the last episode, I never doubted Kanata to be anything worse than the 'tough but fair' kind of persona. The last episode revealed that she's not always poised and professional, and that she can be a very hateful and petty person, though ultimately she still didn't stray that far from her original characterization.

With the conclusion of this episode, though, Kanata's acting every bit as chaotic as Haruka; in that scene she was no longer the Disciplinary Committee leader, but a whirlwind who acts based upon her whims and emotions. The girl has a lot of darkness inside her, that's for sure; though it's frequently joked how scary a person Anego is, she ain't got nothing on Kanata. I look forward next week to plunging ever deeper into the depths of Kanata's psyche and learning more about what a twisted, fucked up person she is.
