Garnet is a little toxic and require each other. In most relationships being that dependent on one another it can get bad really fast if one of them has a change in feelings.
But since both Pearl and Amethyst have gotten along with each other without having to annoy each other anymore the fusion of Opal has become much more stable. The biggest example is in the episode Log Date 7 15 2, where Pearl and Amethyst agree to be more careful to rotate the drill.
There is a misconception on the fusion. This isn't a fusion between garnet and amethyst. It's a fusion of sapphire, ruby, and amethyst. Sapphire is generally passive. She doesn't generally interfere with amethyst, pearl, and Steven when they're dealing with their own stuff. Especially if she doesn't see a future where they might seriously injure themselves. Ruby and amethyst are generally aggressive and these overpower sapphire's reason.
Ye from a comment I’d seen in Sugilite ages ago this describes it perfectly. Sugilite is built from Amethyst’s recklessness Ruby’s fury and Sapphire’s coldness
Agreed. I can’t believe that this isn’t racist. The two characters coded as people of color make a huge out of control bitch, where any fusion with pearl us graceful and levelheaded
@@patiencewallace8453 i think that's because, well, she is a pearl. Pearls are usually calm, intellectual, and amethysts are supposed to be warriors, like all the other quartz so that could be why their fusions are like that (sorry for my bada english)
She's my favorite Crystal Gem. I think she's the perfect example for explaining the concept that fusions have their own consciousness. Garnet and Amethyst clearly regretted fusing at the end of Coach Steven, meaning that Sugilite herself was keeping everyone together. The track Sugilite's Return opens with an instrument that neither Amethyst or Garnet have on their pallets. That was her own instrument, just like how she was becoming her own Gem.
although I'm not sure if it will ever happen in the show, I am still curious what fusions we'd see if steven fused with either Opal, Sugilite, &Sardonyx,
I kind of dislike the use of “unstable” when referring to Sugilite because the show refers to stable fusions as ones that can exist for longer periods of time. She definitely would be seen as having an unhealthy mindset because of some amplified abrasive traits, but her ability to exist well suggests a cohesive balance amongst her parts.
unstable is the word to describe Sugilite not as a fusion of the three gems, but as the person itself. her personality is literally unstable, like no one can control her and stop her from doing reckless stuff.
I always saw Sugilite as "Just a blind, hulking beast that just wanted to hulk and flex around". It seemed to me that Amethyst wanted to control a fusion and Garnet mentally shrugged and let her take control for a bit...
dodo270206 Cartoon Network can afford Trump to voice act if they wanted. It’s not about money, clearly either Nicki doesn’t want to or they’re just lazy to ask her over again-
Dude Sugilite was always my favorite gem because of how strong and chaotic she is. She absolutely does fall into her own feelings- she’s wants to be strong so she punches something, she wants to be entertained so she starts some drama, she wants to make Steven smile so she talks to him (you like that lil man?) and tries to have genuine playfulness with him (see snow day). She definitely embodies every negative thing that could come from being too into your emotions, hurting others in every way as you get wrapped up in yourself. Her debut definitely shows that off. But I honestly think now that garnet and amethyst have matured she can definitely show off the happy and playful side of falling into your own feelings. Just look at how she was vibing in snow day! Hell, she was the first big fusion to show up- probably because Garnet and amethyst were having tons of fun with the tag! They got caught up in the fun (despite Steven not wanting to) and probably came together with a huge grin and a “oh I have the *best* idea” mentality. She was able to unfuse very quickly too, showing that despite being wrapped up in the emotion of fun she wasn’t gonna keep it to herself (both literally as a fusion, and metaphorically as garnet and pearl get the idea to fuse and create more playfulness with Steven) Sugilite just embodies the high emotions of a relationship to me and how you enable traits in some else. Whether it’s you and your best friend with a terrible idea and no chance of being each other’s impulse control, or two friends doing something dumb to laugh together, the intense impulse is wanting to be with someone and just embody whatever high emotions y’all have together in that moment.
I think that Amethyst and Pearl have such a hard time fusing, that when they do they have to be so insync that they only bring the positive out of eachother, making Opal a non toxic, stable fusion. Sardonyx and Sugilite are both toxic, in different ways, because the fused gems get along better. Garnet and Pearl are both responsible, helping them get along, but their responsabilities often come first, hurting others. Because of this, Sardonyx doesn't notice the sufferring of Smokey Quartz until WAY too late. Garnet and Amethyst both know how to have fun, and are both defiant by nature. That make Sugilite antagonized by authority and very volitile when suggested she should defuse.
I also wanna add that the connection between how well gems get along and the toxicity of the fusion is a scale in my opinion. Malachite is toxic because Jasper is hated by Lapis, so the fusion is a fight between that. If they get along, but barely, the fusion will be non toxic (or less toxic) but alsp not stable. Opal and Bluebird Azurite are good examples. They only fuse when they have a perfect sync and a common target, but they don't really get along. Then, those who get along well can be toxic because of what I said (they have many common traits [not necessarily good traits] and when they can stay fused without a common target they have a chance to bring the bad out of eachother). The last part is gems who are perfectly insync. Those are gems like Sapphire and Ruby, the gems that form Rhodonite etc.. Those gems bring the best out of eachother and can seperate at any time, but being fused makes them feel better, be better and feel closer/whole.
Sugilite is one of my fav fusions. Her face looks pretty gnarly in some angles but at the same time she looks so badass, I love her. Sunstone and Rainbow 1.0 are my favs but Sugilite definitely comes in close third.
Sugilite's appearance and personality mostly reminds me of the Hannya in particular. A woman filled with so much jealousy that she becomes a demon, which plays into Amethyst's feelings of envy toward Pearl fusing with Garnet and Sugilite's violent animosity towards Pearl.
One of the reasons for her being “unstable” could be the fact she’s three gems, and we can see that fusions of multiple gems have a hard time keeping stuff together. Not just maintaining the fusion like with alexandrite but staying as a united front. Opal maybe was more zen as for only being two gems but adding more people and personality into the mix changes things. Sardonix wasn’t destructive but we see her have this emotional instability when she starts to get upset with herself. Sugilite is the result of an inbalance of the personalities she’s comprised of making her highlight their more negative qualities. Sapphire is more distant and cold which can point toward Sugilite’s disregard for other’s safety. Amethyst is known to really hate being treated as lesser, so when Sugilite is being called dangerous and unstable this insecurity shows in the form of aggression. Ruby is impulsive and loud, another factor for Sugilite just smashing everything.
I took a quiz twice, and I got the same result: Suglite. I can be impulsive, I hate being bossed around, I can also be selfish and uncaring of others feelings.
I think there should be a fusion featuring Bismuth. This gem would be the silent, stoic badass type and would be somewhat animalistic in appearance. The name of this fusion would be Hematite. The reasons behind her personality and appearance are due to the fact that hematite's metaphysical properties include stress relief and a feeling of inner balance. Her somewhat animalistic appearance would be due to the fact that hematite is commonly carved into animal shapes and worn as pendants in necklaces.
My favorite thing about Sugilite is how we get to see more of Ruby in this fusion. Often whenever garnet fuzes, we mainly see sapphire’s traits manifest. Sugikite is one of the few fusions where ruby takes more of the reins from garnet’s side. Fusion is very complicated, deep, snd can be messy. Some fusions don’t make sense. But sugilite has a lot of understandable ties.
In case you’re wondering why Nicki Minaj didn’t voice sugilite there are 2 reasons 1.She was too expensive Before I say 2 there is a thing called coding.Pearl is “coded” white,Garnet black,and amethyst as black or philipino. When there’s a white character the fusion is elegant and graceful. When it’s the 2 black characters it forms a demonic hell spawn monster. 2.Nicki Minaj might have not seen Sugilite until we did.
There was a big issue made when the Sugilite ep was aired that apparently Nicki hated the portrayal of Sugilite. This is all rumours and I never looked much into it to see if it was true but it could be a possible explanation as to why Sugilite will only get a silent role. Tbh I don't think the rumours are true. Most voice work, especially with CN, usually give concepts and images for the voice actors to work with so I don't believe she was kept in the dark about Sugilite's appearance/portrayal
Still, concepts change over time, maybe she didn’t like the final design of the character? Doesn’t help that the portrayal of her is kinda racist in a way, but it all depends I guess
@@panhanchi5893 I mean, I understand why she probably was the destructive type seeing as how both Amethyst and Ruby are pretty destructive when angry and Amethyst in general. It wud only make sense that 2 out of the 3 ppl fusing wud cause an imbalance in the personality/the personality leaning more toward the destructive side. Tbh, I never made the connections between the racism and her design until wayyyyy later when I stopped watching the show some time before Steven Universe Future's last episode came out. I thought Sugilite was pretty cool with the wrecking ball and cool shades, I only recently realized how different her design is compared to other fusions that it actually clicked
I think sugilites voice actress was the only thing preventing her from making more than 2 appearances. They couldn't afford to hire nicki minaj over and over
Even though this video is 3 years old, and I've just started to watch a bit of steven universe again, I have to say that music Sugilite has is such a banger. I adore it!
I can't wait for you to cover the symbolism of Sardonyx, Smoky Quartz, Malachite, Rainbow Quartz (both 1.0 and 2.0), Alexandrite, and Obsidian! Until then keep up the good work! :)
You asked about Garnet being a healthier fusion/relationship and I think she started as sort of unhealthy. Ruby and Sapphire were codependent which can be an unhealthy way to approach a relationship. We kind of saw this when they were separated in Jail Break and Ruby didn’t care about anything except finding Sapphire. Even though she knew Steven and cared about him, in that moment, he was just there. Ruby and Sapphire grew as individuals while growing together as Garnet. She went from a relationship of questionable health and became a healthier fusion/relationship.
To be fair they were in jail and Ruby was probably scared to death about finding out they cracked or shattered Sapphire. If your wife (yeah, they weren't married then but have been living as a married couple for thousands of years) is possibly dead, you would only concentrate about finding out if she is okay. I don't think that was unhealthy, just Ruby being on a crisis and scared like any person would. Plus she didn't even want Steven to meet her like that.
Another thing to consider for Amethyst is that in the episode "Cry for help" When it's revealed that Pearl was rebuilding the communication hub over and over Amethyst kind of defends pearl and says that the two of them have to use Garnet to make themselves feel strong, cause they both view Garnet as this perfect powerhouse. So it makes sense that when Amethyst fuses with Garnet the most powerful crystal gem and finally feels super powerful and actually worthful that she wouldn't want to let that go because it would mean in her eyes going back to a weak defective gem.
I think Ruby and Sapphire have a pretty healthy relationship in all honesty. Despite them fighting occassionally and separating they always find a way to work out. In Keystone motel they both fought about Pearl using them. In the end they worked it out and admitted that they didn't handle the situation correctly. Sapphire admitted to ignoring it and waiting for it to pass. Ruby admitted she held onto that anger and apologized. I think they are a healthy relationship. They show love and understanding, as well as the fact that sometimes couples fight and you have to talk to work things out. They respect and love eachother, Ruby and Sapphire accept eachother despite their flaws and bring out the best in eachother when they fuse as Garnet or otherwise. Their relationship is very wholesome. Garnet also tells Stevonnie when Steven and connie first fuse, that they are an experience and they should make sure it's a good experience.
Id love to see a weekly video where you guys make gems based on real world gems and even create a crystal gem version and a homeworld version. I think that series would gain a lot of popularity.
@@cowboylikedinos people often say this about fusion but I disagree Are fusions a single entity? Yes however I don’t think they have their own thoughts separate from the relationship that makes them Sugilite didn’t want to unfuse because Amethyst loved how she felt whilst fused with Garnet (Ruby and Sapphire). Amethyst was insecure and Sugilite made her feel powerful Now that Amethyst is less insecure sugilite will probably have no problem un-fusing
Personally, I’ve always been low key upset that Suglite was seen as a monstrous villain. She’s the only fusion besides Garnet that’s made up of 2 characteristically black characters. And she’s rude and out of control. Plus she was easily outsmarted by Pearl.. there’s just a lot that can be implied. And worst off, she displays none of the positive characteristics of her parts, unlike Opal who seemed to almost exclusively display only positive traits despite her parts being at odds with each other. I was so excited to see her for the first time but that episode has always bummed me out. Also... I agree CN def has money to pay Nikki Minaj as she’s on probably their most popular show. The whole thing feels off.
100% feel you, but also - and I quote: "AAAHHH, I'M A MOTHAF*CKN MONSTER". It's in her branding, and you know Nicki ain't signing up for a character portrayal that's not on brand for her. She, literally, makin' and breaking careers out here, so CN prob ain't willin to spend the coin to keep her coming back. I feel like they needed to make her a bad idea so that they'd have an excuse to never bring her back in a substantial way? Also that fusion failing was the catalyst for Amethyst to confront her inferiority complex. Unfortunately, I don't know if we'll get to see an updated version of Sugilite now that both Amethyst and Garnet have matured and come into their own, like we got to see with Opal in various stages of Pearl and Amethyst's growth. I really hope we do, because yeah. It was really early in both character's development. I'm sure a better version of Sugilite would be presented if they brought her back in a speaking role because the tension between Amethyst and Pearl wouldn't be a thing anymore. I def felt a way about that representation... Maybe they'll give us a Garnet + Bismuth fusion and make it right (if they won't pay Nicki to do it).
Isn’t this the exact reason why Nikki no longer voiced her in the rest of her appearances? Because she was super pissed at how bad the portrayal of Sugilite was?? I wouldn’t wanna voice her anymore either if the character was kinda racist like that
The difference between opal and sugilite’s stability simple. It’s having little common ground versus having bad common ground. Amethyst and Pearl clash openly, not sharing much between them. They simply don’t have enough in common to create a new persona. Sugilite is as you explained, embodying the negative interplay between ruby’s aggression, sapphire’s detachment and amethyst’s impulsiveness. They fit together, opal just doesn’t.
I’d certainly agree with the belief that Cartoon Network didn’t want to pay up for Nicki Minaj, given she was likely received some good money for her role. It’s a shame sugilite couldn’t showcase her awesomeness more since Nicki Minaj provided plenty of sass to sugilite.
@@jayplatt3831 omg so true My List(opinion): Opal= All you wanna do, is see me turn into Sugilite= I FORGOT HOW GREAT IF FEELS TO BE ME Alexandrite= SCREEEEEEEEEEE Obsidian= ??? Smoky Quartz= Don't bother putting your socks back on
The animosity towards Pearl is mostly for amethyst now the impulse control that’s for amethyst and Ruby since you know they’re both not as bright but they’re also very muscular and very strong and the only one that’s levelheaded is sapphire in the group but when it comes to the strong in the bulkiness of her that’s from amethyst in Ruby it’s still my favorite fusion
I get it now why sardonyx says she not really on the episode do we still to pay her?? Yes?? Fair enough....when sugilite says hahaha nice try... now i like that part
Your theory of gems absorbing the emotions they protect/protect against seems spot on, and I congratulate you on noticing it, you deserve a cookie because you are a smart one Wait, that’s cannibalism
I just want to say out of all my choices of colossal fusions this is my favorite because I am obsessed and I really love purple things also my favorite celebrity plays this character and I like the way she’s built her size her visor the glasses at all and I even love her weapon
I like sugilite! I think after the work amethyst and garnet had done to make themselves better had an effect on sugilite and that now sugilite is more controlled, rather than impressing Steven with lots of violence I think she’d want to still want to show off but not as violently and would try to mess with Steven almost like a big sister!

Garnet is a little toxic and require each other. In most relationships being that dependent on one another it can get bad really fast if one of them has a change in feelings.

@@sketch-eee4165 yea

I think that now Amethyst has matured as a person Sugilite would also function a lot better as a fusion
Ruby and Sapphire have matured more to tbh.
She's now a matured badass... nice
I think so to and sense the Crystal Gems have gotten closer I'd also like to think Sugillite is much more stable now
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I wish we could have seen her
Bisexual Queen along with Sardonyx as well also I really like to think Pearl’s jacket would be incorporated in Sardonyx cause I’d really fit her
Real reason why Sugilite was bannished: *Nicki Minaj was too expensive*
Find it pretty sad. As much as I dont like her Attitude and..Person... She does amazing as a VA.

@@Kairos_Akuma There’s no reason to not like Nicki as a person.

On a character level, Pearl and amethyst also don’t get along as well as others and share very little common ground.
She's like glass canon lmao
But since both Pearl and Amethyst have gotten along with each other without having to annoy each other anymore the fusion of Opal has become much more stable. The biggest example is in the episode Log Date 7 15 2, where Pearl and Amethyst agree to be more careful to rotate the drill.

actually the emotionally cold and often times hurtful side of her comes from sapphire....as she is a bit.....emotionally distant
The chaos is Amethyst and Ruby whilst the emotionally unstable is Sapphire
emotionally cold, stubborn, ignorant, rude, impulsive, and defiant. Its just all their bad traits showing.
Ye from a comment I’d seen in Sugilite ages ago this describes it perfectly. Sugilite is built from Amethyst’s recklessness Ruby’s fury and Sapphire’s coldness

Tbh, I never made the connections between the racism and her design until wayyyyy later when I stopped watching the show some time before Steven Universe Future's last episode came out. I thought Sugilite was pretty cool with the wrecking ball and cool shades, I only recently realized how different her design is compared to other fusions that it actually clicked
...To which race... is Sugilite racist? I really just don't see it.
Sugilite is one of my favorite fusions who else likes her
I think sugilites voice actress was the only thing preventing her from making more than 2 appearances. They couldn't afford to hire nicki minaj over and over
Even though this video is 3 years old, and I've just started to watch a bit of steven universe again, I have to say that music Sugilite has is such a banger. I adore it!
*[Sugilite is the devil himself]*
Peridot HERself
I can't wait for you to cover the symbolism of Sardonyx, Smoky Quartz, Malachite, Rainbow Quartz (both 1.0 and 2.0), Alexandrite, and Obsidian! Until then keep up the good work! :)
Wait so if a different sapphire, ruby, and amathyst fuse, can they form another sugilite?
Yes
Sugilite should totally appear in future
I honestly hope so too but I'd prefer to get more development on the cluster tbh
She did... In steven tag
Do Yellow, Blue and Pink (Volleyball) pearl next.
You asked about Garnet being a healthier fusion/relationship and I think she started as sort of unhealthy. Ruby and Sapphire were codependent which can be an unhealthy way to approach a relationship. We kind of saw this when they were separated in Jail Break and Ruby didn’t care about anything except finding Sapphire. Even though she knew Steven and cared about him, in that moment, he was just there. Ruby and Sapphire grew as individuals while growing together as Garnet. She went from a relationship of questionable health and became a healthier fusion/relationship.
To be fair they were in jail and Ruby was probably scared to death about finding out they cracked or shattered Sapphire. If your wife (yeah, they weren't married then but have been living as a married couple for thousands of years) is possibly dead, you would only concentrate about finding out if she is okay. I don't think that was unhealthy, just Ruby being on a crisis and scared like any person would. Plus she didn't even want Steven to meet her like that.
Sugilite is one of thoose characters who your not supposed to like, but do anyway
QUEEN NICKI 🎀🌈🦄
Another thing to consider for Amethyst is that in the episode "Cry for help" When it's revealed that Pearl was rebuilding the communication hub over and over Amethyst kind of defends pearl and says that the two of them have to use Garnet to make themselves feel strong, cause they both view Garnet as this perfect powerhouse. So it makes sense that when Amethyst fuses with Garnet the most powerful crystal gem and finally feels super powerful and actually worthful that she wouldn't want to let that go because it would mean in her eyes going back to a weak defective gem.
I think Ruby and Sapphire have a pretty healthy relationship in all honesty. Despite them fighting occassionally and separating they always find a way to work out. In Keystone motel they both fought about Pearl using them. In the end they worked it out and admitted that they didn't handle the situation correctly. Sapphire admitted to ignoring it and waiting for it to pass. Ruby admitted she held onto that anger and apologized. I think they are a healthy relationship. They show love and understanding, as well as the fact that sometimes couples fight and you have to talk to work things out. They respect and love eachother, Ruby and Sapphire accept eachother despite their flaws and bring out the best in eachother when they fuse as Garnet or otherwise. Their relationship is very wholesome. Garnet also tells Stevonnie when Steven and connie first fuse, that they are an experience and they should make sure it's a good experience.
Just like how Alexandrite first appeared. They weren’t in perfect harmony and one tried to do the other thing
Id love to see a weekly video where you guys make gems based on real world gems and even create a crystal gem version and a homeworld version.
I think that series would gain a lot of popularity.
Sugilite's theme is one of my favorites.
Well Amethyst is more mature and less insecure about herself than she was, maybe Sugilite is a better fusion.
But sugilite is her own person
@@cowboylikedinos Yes but she also has facets of both Garnet and Amethyst.
@@emanuelrojas2 ruby and sapphire you mean
@@cowboylikedinos Yeah sure
@@cowboylikedinos people often say this about fusion but I disagree
Are fusions a single entity? Yes however I don’t think they have their own thoughts separate from the relationship that makes them
Sugilite didn’t want to unfuse because Amethyst loved how she felt whilst fused with Garnet (Ruby and Sapphire). Amethyst was insecure and Sugilite made her feel powerful
Now that Amethyst is less insecure sugilite will probably have no problem un-fusing
Sugilite is just amethyst and ruby being crazy and sapphire just sitting there like every thing is fine
*Their fusion’s size might be depending on how powerful they are*
Personally, I’ve always been low key upset that Suglite was seen as a monstrous villain. She’s the only fusion besides Garnet that’s made up of 2 characteristically black characters. And she’s rude and out of control. Plus she was easily outsmarted by Pearl.. there’s just a lot that can be implied. And worst off, she displays none of the positive characteristics of her parts, unlike Opal who seemed to almost exclusively display only positive traits despite her parts being at odds with each other. I was so excited to see her for the first time but that episode has always bummed me out. Also... I agree CN def has money to pay Nikki Minaj as she’s on probably their most popular show. The whole thing feels off.
100% feel you, but also - and I quote: "AAAHHH, I'M A MOTHAF*CKN MONSTER". It's in her branding, and you know Nicki ain't signing up for a character portrayal that's not on brand for her. She, literally, makin' and breaking careers out here, so CN prob ain't willin to spend the coin to keep her coming back. I feel like they needed to make her a bad idea so that they'd have an excuse to never bring her back in a substantial way? Also that fusion failing was the catalyst for Amethyst to confront her inferiority complex. Unfortunately, I don't know if we'll get to see an updated version of Sugilite now that both Amethyst and Garnet have matured and come into their own, like we got to see with Opal in various stages of Pearl and Amethyst's growth. I really hope we do, because yeah. It was really early in both character's development. I'm sure a better version of Sugilite would be presented if they brought her back in a speaking role because the tension between Amethyst and Pearl wouldn't be a thing anymore. I def felt a way about that representation... Maybe they'll give us a Garnet + Bismuth fusion and make it right (if they won't pay Nicki to do it).
Isn’t this the exact reason why Nikki no longer voiced her in the rest of her appearances? Because she was super pissed at how bad the portrayal of Sugilite was?? I wouldn’t wanna voice her anymore either if the character was kinda racist like that
She’s a mean purple fighting machine
Imagine Sugilite in suf garnets visor would cover the third eye
Ruby and Amythest: *chaos*
Sapphire: This is fine.
I smile at my reaction to sugilite when I first saw it.
The difference between opal and sugilite’s stability simple. It’s having little common ground versus having bad common ground. Amethyst and Pearl clash openly, not sharing much between them. They simply don’t have enough in common to create a new persona. Sugilite is as you explained, embodying the negative interplay between ruby’s aggression, sapphire’s detachment and amethyst’s impulsiveness. They fit together, opal just doesn’t.
I want to see sardonyx next!!
1:49 NO!
I’d certainly agree with the belief that Cartoon Network didn’t want to pay up for Nicki Minaj, given she was likely received some good money for her role. It’s a shame sugilite couldn’t showcase her awesomeness more since Nicki Minaj provided plenty of sass to sugilite.
I think it's sad that out of all the fusions amethyst, only ONE talks
Opal = ❌
Sugilite = ❌
Alexandrite = ❌
Obsidian = ❌
Smokey quartz = ✔️
don’t 4 of those talk and one of them scream?
@@jayplatt3831 omg so true
My List(opinion):
Opal= All you wanna do, is see me turn into
Sugilite= I FORGOT HOW GREAT IF FEELS TO BE ME
Alexandrite= SCREEEEEEEEEEE
Obsidian= ???
Smoky Quartz= Don't bother putting your socks back on
Alexandrite does talk though in super watermelon island though
amethysts talks in obsidian and alexandrite when they scream
5:16 wtf happened to pearl's head
SUGILITE IS JUST RUBY AND AMETHYST PLAYING CHAOTICLY AND SAPHIRE ALL LIKE "NO PLEASE"

@Ùñłîkêłÿ Rêtrögrådē Lol
The animosity towards Pearl is mostly for amethyst now the impulse control that’s for amethyst and Ruby since you know they’re both not as bright but they’re also very muscular and very strong and the only one that’s levelheaded is sapphire in the group but when it comes to the strong in the bulkiness of her that’s from amethyst in Ruby it’s still my favorite fusion
I always was under the impression Sugalite's weapon was more a meteor hammer than a proper flail
Can we agree that this show needs a legitimate Intro title at least?
I get it now why sardonyx says she not really on the episode do we still to pay her?? Yes?? Fair enough....when sugilite says hahaha nice try... now i like that part
i love sugilite, she’s been my favorite fusion for a while now :D
Your theory of gems absorbing the emotions they protect/protect against seems spot on, and I congratulate you on noticing it, you deserve a cookie because you are a smart one
Wait, that’s cannibalism
I just want to say out of all my choices of colossal fusions this is my favorite because I am obsessed and I really love purple things also my favorite celebrity plays this character and I like the way she’s built her size her visor the glasses at all and I even love her weapon
Sugilite is my #1 favorite fusion!
I've heard that Nicki did not want to voice Sugalite in the future because she didn't like the character...
I lost my mind finding out Nicki was Sugalite it made me so happy
In the fusion dance for this fusion, the animators knew exactly what they were doing.
Me showing my friends how to make custom shirts : *You like that little man?*
Always been one of my favorite fusions
Sugilite’s fusion dance was the most sexual thing i have ever witnessed back then when i was 7
Sugilite is my favourite fusion😌and when I found out she's voiced by *Nicki Minaj* my love for her only grew more
I just need her to come back 😭😭😭 I miss her
sugalite : I AM BORED >:((((
Steven: it’s sugalite :DDDD
Pearl: haha hellllo 😟
Sugilite: pearl run now
Three episodes about fusions in a row
In my opinion sugilite has the best fusion intro being a dragon now who’s next sardonyx
i refuse to believe sapphire is in there
What Steven should have said when she first appeared: GIANT WOMAN!!!
I just realized we were robbed of a musical number where Sugilite raps.
My favorite fusion!! 💜🖤
5:23 “you better get used to me baby.” DAMNNNN WHAT A SAVAGE
I love the sound that plays with sugilite
Does anyone know how Nikki felt about playing the role?
6:30 wow a forth wall break that actually make sense, yes you need to pay her for using her voice :>
I am an eternal flame baby!!!!! - One third of suglite
I just love the way sardonyx throwing shade at sugilite.
Underrated queen
I like sugilite! I think after the work amethyst and garnet had done to make themselves better had an effect on sugilite and that now sugilite is more controlled, rather than impressing Steven with lots of violence I think she’d want to still want to show off but not as violently and would try to mess with Steven almost like a big sister!
this video is educational for learning about irl gems
Do Sardonyx next
“Do we still have to pay her? Yes? Fair enough.” 😂
