We extend the results concerning Kasner triangles with a fixed complex parameter obtained in earlier works and determine the values of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> for which the generated dynamics are convergent, divergent, periodic, or dense.
