6* MilestoneCelebration: Kabuto’s runtime was during the franchise’s 35th anniversary, and the show took a page out of ''Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger'' and did some shorts discussing past Riders.
7* PromotedFanboy: Tokuyama Hidenori and Uchiyama Masato, who played Yaguruma and Kageyama respectively, are unabashed ''Franchise/KamenRider'' fans, and gladly returned to reprise their roles when the Hoppers appeared briefly and early in ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' as well as their appearance in ''Series/KamenRiderZiO''.
8* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Hiyori's reduced appearance and introduction of Renge was due to Hiyori's actress' failing health.

10* StarMakingRole: This was Hiro Mizushima's first starring role, and what catapulted his status into one of the most popular Japanese actors today, as prior to him starring in ''Kabuto'', he only had small appearances in other dramas.
