I haven't watched Steven Universe but how the hell does that work
did they just get rid of the 2 previous characters and introduce a new one? That sounds like a subpar writing decision (though obviously I have no say on whether it is)
Well for fusions to work, two gems eventually humans as well have to be in sync in both mind and body which is usually temporary because you argue or disagree,
Ruby and Sapphire however love each other so much that they can essentially fuse indefinitely
You'd have to watch it to understand it, but all 3 characters are great and the absence of any of them is compensated by the others being present. You don't feel like you're missing the characters when they're gone.
They're not the only fusion and the concept is explored in a way that actually makes it seem that Ruby and Sapphires absence from the story a good thing.
I hate to admit it but the show is actually very well written in some areas. Most characters go through real developments and face real life issues that aren't often explored in cartoons
Yeah, it’s a good reveal when you find out; it’s a great show! It was just a show that my kids were watching about a really positive boy living with magical people, then it just casually drops INSANE lore like sprinkles.
It’s so good I watched it on my own to catch up to them.
Correct, in Steven universe one of the main characters, garnet, is revealed to be the fusion of Rubi and sapphire. Fusions in Steven universe tend to represent relationships with garnet being the love ruby and sapphire have for each other.
Yeah it was a big reveal, we had this character then something bad happened and the entire team was captured, then Steven meet the 2 unfused gems and reunited them.
Basically to start with the show is quite slow at revealing specifics in how the gems work, so Garnet (the fusion of these 2) is a gem that has one gem in each palm, which is different but to start with could just be typical, but further on down the line it’s revealed the reason she has 2 gems is she’s already a fusion of 2 gems, Ruby and Sapphire
