Hmm...is it possible to interpret Shiranui's frustrations to show her being Not So Different? Zenkichi and Shiranui have both devoted their lives to serving Medaka, one by choice the other by role. Zenkichi was most people's link to Medaka, but Shiranui was the link Zenkichi had to be grounded himself. She periodically tests his will, and makes him and Medaka better people(or at least, that's the intent). Of course, they're probably not gonna focus on that since Zenkichi's down for the count.
Btw, it seems Hiroshi Kamiya made into the Medaka Box anime as MUNAKATA! Looks like he's made the jump from the vomic(albeit as a different character)
