Little Busters! - Kanata Futaki Route & Character Discussion

[Pepe]

I’m gonna stay away from all the other posts for now because I don’t wanna be spoiled But I just wanted to figure out why people hate Kanata so much. Biz gave a good explanation in the bad ends thread:

Key's visual novels bad ends discussion

Air’s ‘bad end’ or ‘ends’ is/are also quite nice.

Haruka and Refrain spoilers: She’s removed from the world and ‘dies’ because the facade she kept up broke and the reality of everything pretty much destroyed her. She was ‘no longer of use’ because she lost her purpose, for lack of a better way to put it. Kanata in this route isn’t much different from Kyousuke, the other bros, Komari or Yuiko- She knows the truth which is why her explanations and questions, had you not read the entire VN, are quite confusing and carry a dual purpose- One of the reasons this route is -SO- good. She didn’t want her sister to suffer the reality. However, looking back at it after knowing the secret of the world, it’s one of the SICKEST bad ends I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love how dark it is. I could write more and make more sense but sleep.

I think what she did makes more sense in the long run and the reason why people hate her so much is that they don’t know why she’s doing that. The biggest thing to remember about Kanata, I think, is that none of those bad stuff that she did happened in the real world. From Biz’s explanation, at least (which I trust more than my own memory :P), what she did, she did for the sake of exploiting the secret of the world.

Would she have done the same things in the real world? Had she already done those? Well, I can’t answer that. Maybe her route explains it, maybe it doesn’t. I’ll find out eventually
