* HellBentForLeather: Her Terminate Talk Shooting sprite has a ton of black leather, as befits a {{Metalhead}} like herself. Given [[HolyBurnsEvil her reaction]] when given a bottle of holy water, the "hell" part could be literal.
* HellishPupils: Two of Kanade's {{Nightmare Face}}s show her with a deranged smile and oddly sideways pupils, like a goat's.



* MusicalThemeNaming: Her name comes from ''kanaderu'', meaning "to play a stringed instrument". This, plus her band's name, "Melody Rhythm", is also a reference to Kanade Minamino/Cure Rhythm from ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure''.



* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Her Terminate Talk Shooting sprite starts with ominous black and red music notes around her, she's dressed in [[HellBentForLeather tons of black leather]], her makeup and belt are both red, and she's holding a black and red [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Flying_V Flying V guitar]]. Far and away the cruelest character in the game, Kanade fits this color scheme perfectly.



* RottenRockAndRoll: Loves rock and metal music, and also is a monstrous SerialKiller.

* RottenRockAndRoll: Loves rock and metal music, and also is a monstrous SerialKiller. Given the [[SatanicArchetype subtle demon motifs]] Kanade is given, this could also be a case of RockMeAsmodeus



* SatanicArchetype: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Kanade is human, but she's a corrupting influence on Hibiki to the point of [[ManchurianAgent brainwashing]], plays the innocent victim while secretly killing off Hibiki's loved ones to exert control and [[{{Sadist}} enjoy her sister's pain]], and has a slight association with fire because of [[SoreLoser burning Setsuka's letter]]. She also has several demonic motifs herself. On top of being the only student to [[HolyBurnsEvil dislike receiving the Holy Water as a present]], Kanade leaves Setsuka's body at the "Devil's Altar", is shown with HellishPupils in some of her [[NightmareFace scarier sprites]], and has a Terminate Talk Shooting segment where she's shown with a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Flying_V Flying V guitar]] (notably played by the guitarist of the [[SatanicPanic allegedly demonic]] metal band Music/JudasPriest). The chapter where Kanade commits murder is called "The Girl who Looked at the Devil Inside the Abyss"; presumably, she's the titular devil.



* KickTheDog: {{Subverted}}. She bullies her seemingly kind younger sister Kanade... however, with the reveal of Kanade's true depraved nature, one can easily say Kanade deserved far worse.

* MusicalThemeNaming: "Hibiki" is Japanese for "echo", "sound", or "reverberate". This, plus her band's name "Melody Rhythm", comes from Hibiki Houjou/Cure Melody from the music-themed ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure''.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: His [[FauxAffablyEvil seemingly friendly and silly personality]], along with any and all acts of decency he does, are shown to be completely hollow and insincere. His only commitment [[ItsAllAboutMe is to himself]] and he'd use or kill anyone to get what he wants.



* PetTheDog: Despite opnely acknowledging himself as the Mastermind of this Killing Game, Mikado acts as a gracious host to the other students and wants to get along with everyone during the peaceful periods, even always taking the time of preparing meals for everyone to eat. This ends up [[SubvertedTrope majorly subverted]] in that it's [[FauxAffablyEvil all a facade]] the Alter Ego Mikado is putting on based on the original Mikado's personality. None of his kind acts are genuine, and he's in truth a sadistic monster who ''wants'' to see everyone suffer and die, [[BadBoss up to and including the other members of Void.]]

* HateSink: While seemingly a sweet and submissive victim of her sister's bullying, Kanade is at her core a remorseless SerialKiller who's been secretly manipulating and conditioning Hibiki to be completely dependent on her, killing or crippling whoever got too close to Hibiki and even turning her into a living puppet for her pleasure whenever she makes her pass out. Making Hibiki kill Setsuka, the person who acted like a CoolBigSis to her, and waking her up just so she can revel in her despair when they're both executed makes you hate her all the more. She's even this InUniverse, becoming outright loathed by everyone when she's exposed for what she did to Setsuka and Hibiki, and disgusting them all to the point they don't care one bit when she's executed. LINUJ admits in his commentary to favoring Hibiki over Kanade, which is completely {{justified|Trope}}.

Entry needs to be completely rewritten. It’s filled with Ron The Death Eater energy for Kokichi and exaggerates the comparisons between him and Kanade as if they’re equally bad


** Like Kokichi Ouma, she seems pure and innocent at the surface, but has a rotten personality, is an [[ConsummateLiar excellent manipulator and liar]] that sports a plethora of [[NightmareFace Nightmare Faces]] and leads a life of crime outside of the Killing Game, shows herself to be hyper-intelligent (being able to accurately figure out both every culprit and the truth behind the killing game before anyone else does) but extremely condescending to everyone else during the trials to the point of [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain casually calling them slurs]], and had subjected one of her classmates to prolonged emotional abuse which eventually culminated in forcing that classmate into committing a murder (which the classmate doesn't remember doing due to the circumstances under which they've been forced) and gleefully watched them despair as they are executed. Both Kokichi and Kanade also receive no real comeuppance for their crimes even in death due to circumstances of their demise allowing both of them to get exactly what they wanted (to upstage the mastermind for Kokichi, to see Hibiki despair in her last moments for Kanade).

Which is pretty rich, considering her abusive relationship with her sister, her malignant narcissism, and her staggering number of {{Nightmare Face}}s (the worst of which [[IResembleThatRemark she is showing off]] as she's yelling all of this).

This reaction is perfectly justified, since from her perspective she just awoke to learn she's going to be executed for something she does not remember doing, and in addition to that finally realised that her beloved sister was the one responsible for all the deaths happening around her.
