>>30904417I liked his theme. It's not Lance's or anything, but it wasn't suppose to be. Kukui wasn't your greatest adversary, he was your teacher, your guide. You out grew him, you climbed to the top, and succeeded after your long journey. It wasn't another triumph to win, but rather a friendly passing of the torch that brings the whole thing around.
I think his theme reflects that well. It's more of a happy 'end of your journey' sound than an aggressive struggle. This is the last hurrah, the final good bye, you already did it kid, you're already the best, and this is how your old sensei is gonna see you off, with a smile.
I can see why some people thought it was disappointing, but I thought it was thematically fitting for Sun and Moon. Lusamine was a lot harder than any of the E4 for me, just like Ghetsis trashed me back in BW but Alder was comparatively a cake walk. Cynthia was the last time a champion was really hard, and it's because she was a fucking cheater.
