all i can say here is that defining logic in toku is pointless o_o''
No it isn't. Maybe if you've only seen vapid shows, but there are plenty that go out of their way to explain things and give you reasons for what is happening. Even when new toys are introduced, they work within the confines of the story and don't come out of nowhere with no explanation.
Toku is created for kids. and kids naturally don't dig in deeper into details. that's why there are so-called "plotholes", which in reality, are created by the teens' and adults' logical brains. i find it funny that after liking a series, some people begin hating it after a year or two.
You really think children are that stupid? When I was as kid, I always dug deeper into shows and wanted to know the reasoning behind stuff. Also, no, not all tokusatsu is created for children, and I'm not talking about shows like GARO or Ultra Seven X. You're giving the staff of a lot of the shows too little credit. Kamen Rider's story arcs are modeled with an older audience in mind, tokusatsu's got a rich heritage and history and just because you don't know it doesn't mean comparatively shallow with other regular programs.
1 + 1 isn't necessarily 2 in Toku, heck, we have different versions on where humanity came from and people don't call that a plot-hole. It is purposely left out to our own interpretation.
Why would that be a plot hole? It works within the universe and it's explained.
Again, regarding Kabuto, I believe they purposely left out the explanations on the dimensions and logic of how the Perfect Zecter came to be because it is probably really unexplainable at this point in time. Again, they are playing with the theories behind Space-Time-Continuum, so they can't base all of the events in proven concrete answers since there are none yet.
What theories are these...? I don't really think Shouji Yonemura thought too deeply into all of these things when writing those episodes and trying figure out what the hell to do with the weapon. It's just as cheap to excuse the failings in Kabuto for those reasons as it is for some people to excuse the failings in Shinkenger because apparently one "needs" an understanding of Japanese culture to understand the story. A narrative should be able to carry itself on its own weight without any outside forces.
Imagine if the people in the 1950s gets an iPad, how will they react? I don't know how it got there, probably in the near future somebody can make a time machine that can send objects back in time... But isn't it silly for me to assume it? It's like your forcing writers to assume something that is still theoretical at this point, and since Kabuto's theme is pretty much part of a factual study, then it is logical for them to leave those out. I mean it's more interesting if there's a mystery behind things and not get a far-fetched explanation that will eventually be proven wrong. Kabuto's theme is unique, and it played with it. Simple as that.
...then don't write about it? This isn't reality, this is a narrative where one (or two but Inoue's episodes don't matter) has total control over what's going on. He should know where simple things like powers and weapons come from. To say he doesn't because we don't know yet is asinine. Heck, Micheal Scott is an authority of human mythology and though a lot of it has no real standing, he rights within the confines of what he knows and creates laws and rules for how he thinks things should work within the worlds he writes. Yonemura doesn't even do that!
If you call those concepts stupid, then you're pretty much acting the same way as people who thought that the Earth is the center of the solar system, and called people who thought the Sun was the center stupid.
How am I acting in this way...? At the time, people used the information they had and were open to new ideas, and at least had some idea of what they were working with. Kabuto as a series makes no attempt to even tell you what the hell space-time is within the confines of its narrative, it doesn't even begin to tell you its basic rules. Kabuto's actually worse than technobabble because they at least attempt to feign some competency there, Kabuto makes no attempt to even work within its series and just does whatever the hell it wants to because Yonemura was a half-assed writer at the time and still ain't much better.
Sometimes, it is better to have your imagination run wild rather than expect everybody to spoon-feed you.
I like a good mystery, I like a good open ending, and I like those times where things are left up to your imagination (Kageyama and Yaguruma's "death", for example), but that's just lazy to excuse faults in narratives for imagination's sake.
