i think Aoko is a pretty cool gal. seh zones offensively and doesn't afraid of anything.
I just noticed you left it out, but 214D->fwd dash instead of any(?) 2c (in 2aabc5cb[2c] for example) will wiggle you past them into the corner for a nice crossup option.
Just another mindgame technique, really. Sensei does what she must to win!
