Well, with Kagami becoming Kabuto in Zi-O, I decided to rewatch Kabuto, and hopefully finish it this time (I don't even remember why I dropped it last time I watched...)

I really enjoyed how much Kabuto set up Kagami, and I had forgotten how much of the first episode is about him over Tendou. Honestly, I think it would have been fun to reduce some of Tendou's scenes in this episode to make Tendou's reveal as Kabuto more of a twist. That way, Kagami's encounter with him in the alley makes him seem more like an eccentric stranger by removing the scenes that show him already having a belt.
I enjoy that Kagami is the one to go on the traditional hero's journey in this series as we see him grow from an employee to a hero, and that's really set in motion by being rejected by the Kabuto zector, poor guy.

Don't worry, Kagami. It may be called Kabuto, but you're really the MC
