Ex-Aid I actually give way to a little. It's still a problem, sure; but Ex-Aid manages to spin it to its advantage by making it its aesthetic. It just owns the idea of Emu getting a new gashat every 2 seconds by making everything flashy and over-the-top and ridiculous in my opinion; everything's so wild and bizarre that, sure, new power-ups everywhere actually kinda works! Have Kuroto develop a second Gear Gashat Dual basically minutes before Hiiro gets another new power-up essentially rendering that action stupidly pointless, why not? This whole season is dumb, let's just completely f*ck around!


... it fits significantly less for a series like Build, where despite a lot of levity and many comedic moments; is at its core a series set in a dark dystopian alternate universe where corrupt politicians turned a country-splitting tragedy into an ideology of hate so that weapons industries have an angle to create wars they can profiteer off of all the while some snake bastard in the background is deadset on mentally torturing our main characters in cruel and unnecessary ways!
