I think Kabuto fail to be a good anniversary series because it's written by half a dozen writers and they all have different plans. It's still one of my favorite series because of the suits, actions, and actors. Kabuto and Den-o were like the last ones to become super successful outside of filming toku and highshcool drama.

Yeah. I mean, I still like Kabuto and it's not nearly the mess of writing that Decade is, but it's clear some weirdness was going on. Like what was up with Dark Kabuto and where the Hopper Zecters come from.

I have no problem with burgermon, but his creator made it weird when he make those "friendly" gesture. Also, I felt the dancing theme in Gaim works better than the doctor theme in ExAid even though is more of a metaphorical subtheme. The idea of only skill doctor can extract and defeat bugsters is still a bit farfetch for a rider show. Hiro only did one non-bugster major operation so far.

I feel like Ex-Aid does a decent job of tying the two elements. For example, Taiga's skill as a radiologist helped him become an effective user for Snipe and of course, Hiiro had that moment where he learned how to use DoReMiFa Beats by using his knowledge of CPR. It's a bit of a stretch, but I'll take it.
