I thought it was obvious, fusion is sharing a moment, and becoming the moment. In Garnet's words "first you need a body of light, then you need someone to trust with that light." When you dance, your sharing a bonded moment, your showing them a peice of who you are. You let loose, open up all states of being to the other, and it happens. You don't need to dance if the bond is already established, but dancing helped Greg get closer to Rose, and that's what fusion really is about.
Its literally explained in the show. They need to synchronize its why Opal is hard to form initially but they all love Steven so it's easier for them to fuse with him
a Just Dance x Steven Universe collab would actually be very fun imagine a duet routine where each player does a unique dance then the coaches on-screen fuse into one and has the players perform a unified choreo
Actually, that is a sick idea. A dance with each character has a unique style that still matches the rhythm or beat, followed by a fused dance that incorporates all of them with everyone following along.
In my opinion, i would say it is for the purpose of synchronization. For gems to fuse, they need to be concentrated and syncronizing, therefore it would make sense for the dance to make both their mental and physical aspects to match and fuse with ease Of course, if those gems are connected enough, they can concentrate and fuse without a dance. It's not always though, as with Sunstone for example The first time Steven and Garnet fused, Steven just needed to hug Ruby and Saphire's gems to fuse. However, in "A Very Special Episode" they were both in a quite annoying and tiring situation, so it would make sense they needed a small dance to fuse
I really like the theory that it’s just a Crystal Gems tradition. It adds to the worldbuilding for me and how through all of the years living separately, the Crystal Gems have developed their own culture apart from Homeworld’s
I always just saw it as the gems needing only to be mentally in sync to fuse, and dancing just happens to be a good way to get all synced up if they aren't already. Pretty much every instance of fusion happening without a dance involves the characters already being on the same page, so a dance beforehand to get all prepared is unnecessary
You know I feel fusions are the biggest interest I think of Steven Universe. I feel the reason why I feel fusion resonates with me is how the fusions represent self love, bonds, cooperation but also if gone too far its co dependent, self damaging, and toxic. At first I thougut fusions were nonsensical but I realize how important it is. I feel the reason why dances and synchronism is part of fusions is perhaps the gems view fusion like performance. The gems then slowly come together and suddenly become in sync. The fusions are how they express themselves and view fusions as a way to understand or connect. I think the reason why Malachite, Garnet, and Sugilite don't unfuse is because both gems is shaped on how they are spiritually. Sugilite and Malachite may be toxic fusions, but their objective makes sense. While Garnet is made out of acceptance and love. That's why the Cluster is the antithesis of the fusions. They were manipulated and used and couldn't express themselves willingly. That is why they scream and cry, because they lost sight of who they were because they were forced to. A hive mind rather than a stable relationship.
Loved this analysis! It reminds me of something I noticed in Mr. Greg - as Pearl and Greg start to understand and accept each other, it is shown through them dancing together at the end of Both of You. And before that, Pearl had refused to dance with Greg, saying she would dance “maybe later.” I think it’s a very effective and creative way to represent understanding others, especially with how much music plays a role in the show. Really beautiful storytelling.
I just want to throw another point of discussion into the mix: For Homeworld, they were taught to view fusion as a tool; something that serves a purpose. When they need to fuse, they do it. The Crystal Gems more see it as a part of themselves, something that doesn't need to always serve a purpose. It can be useful, but that's not the reason they have it. What I'm getting at is that the act of dancing before fusing is similar. They don't always need to do it, but it's a part of being who they are, and nonetheless useful sometimes for getting in the right mindset to actually fuse.
I think there is an emotional component. Gems dence to get more in tune with their emotions, that's why their gems start to glow when they start to dance (usually with steven, his gem glows when he's expiriencimg strong emotions) and dancing may help flear up their emotions, making their bodies more loose (literally) and the more in since their feelings, the less of a need for a dance
1:30 Hey wait a second... that fusion changes the location of their gem. No other fusion is shown changing the location of their gems. Like, Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond only even _rotated_ her gem at most.
If I remember correctly Rebeca Sugar said that Garnet and Pearl "danced" with their hands to fuse into Sardonyx when they were almost crushed. I could also be wrong but that is something I remember hearing somewhere.
I think of it this way, using your instrument apology at the start. You can PLAY the instrument, but the result won't be a good stable sound until it's tuned. It's a quality measure, so they're less likely to fall apart.
I think it stems from initially being for the purpose of entertainment. However, it was given some subtle depth that you opened my eyes to through this video.
I think the dancing is what helps them concentrate and focus, it's why in the more serious moments when they'd share a purpose (like Ruby and Sapphire during the baseball game simply wanting to come back together without a full dance, or when Steven gets corrupted and Alexandrite is formed) a dance isn't fully needed, the ideas are synchronized, but it fails the first time when Pearl and Amethyst have different dances to try to form Opal, the idea isn't really there until Steven gets eaten.
I always thought it was because Garnet danced. When Rose asked how they did it they said they "just danced." When Pearl's "fusion powers activate" method didn't work very well they probably tried dancing and clearly they fused so it worked. Garnet literally modelled diff gem fusion for the entire crystal gems The only homeworld fusion we see actually fuse was the lemon jade who doesn't dance (none of them did in that scene after stevonnie) but I bet the homeworld fusions like the off colors DON'T dance because they never heard the story of Garnet's method
I mean, the real reason is because it was inspired by the Fusion Dance from Dragon Ball Z, but I'd say the in-universe one is because of light wave interference.
When I figured out DBZ was a huge inspiration to the story, I could never get fusion from dbz out of my head when I watched the gems do. I remember trying to fuse with my brother just like trunks and goten.
Hmmm.. I guess it’s meant to symbolize that in relationships, people who are new to dating or other interactions feel inclined to follow a guide on how to get closer to someone and then to form a connection with them. So we see early that the gems are certain dancing is required because those are the ‘rules’ of fusing, but later we see it can be achieved simply by touch… this would suggest that as the bond strengthens between components, the act of fusion becomes just a muscle memory and the need to synchronize isn’t as important as when when you are new to fusing, like how in a long term relationship you just do things without thinking which you started out learning how to do
Their body's are made of light, their gems are conputers. Probably has something to do with synchronizing both their states of ming and physical motion.
*flips table, throws phone through window, runs into oncoming traffic screaming at the top of my lungs* STEVEN UNIVERSE IS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD SCIENCE FICTION IF YOU GAIN EVEN A PASSING UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF LIGHT AND GEOLOGY AAAAA
Like you said, Steven Universe is very and very relationated with music, with each character having his own musical instrument, theme, and I think letmotiv too(even though they are all from "we are the crystal gems" letmotiv), and it really makes sense that the characters often dance and sing, because this activities are straight relationaded with music and this is made to make more themes and soundtracks for the show or even... Try to engage the viewer with the music! Making it pay more attention to it and even appreciate it more! Yeah, this is my guess. Loved your video 👍🏼, it was really interesting and funny 👍🏼👍🏼.
Getting into the moment, syncing with each other, expressing their individualities, it could be a lot of things! Part of what i love about fusion is how deep it goes honestly. As someone who's found dancing to be a positive outlet it honestly gets me thinking!
This video is so well done! The intro absolutely slapped, and the explanation was actually really interesting. The calm voice was just the cherry on top!
Fusion dances were among the most beautifully animated parts of the show. Simple, clean, smooth animation! Plus I'll never forget Garnet and Pearl's fusion was animated to the tune of Full Moon (a fan edit with the song is in yt still). Overall a mix of endearing, sensual, cool and fun moments! Full of character, too. I still wanted someone to fuse to salsa, though! 😅
on spotify, and prob other music services, there are score soundtracks for the show and they include theme songs for a lot of the gems and fusions and even full length songs of fusion dances, u should def check em out, just search for steven universe SCORE soundtrack Season X, x being whatever season ur looking for in particular as the playlist are separated into each of the shows seasons.
One other thing that interests me a lot about fusion is how the resulting personality is determined. Obviously nobody's fully one-dimensional in their personality, but I've noticed that compatible aspects of their personalities tend to be boldened and more apparent when added together, while incompatible traits tend to fizzle out completely. Let's look at the "main" archetype of each important character in the show Steven: Joyful Connie: Studious Ruby: Hot-headed Sapphire: Calm Amethyst: Brash Pearl: Elegant Lapis: Resentful Jasper: Determined When these personalities mix you get the main archetypes of every fusion. Garnet loses both the anger and the calmness of her counterparts since they're incompatible and becomes relatively Neutral, with the added confidence of the fact that she's so in love with... Well... Herself, so her Archetype just becomes "Confident" Opal loses the Brash and Elegant nature of her counterparts as well, which is why she doesn't seem to project much of a personality, as she's also pretty Neutral. Sugilite's Brash and Confident natures add together and turns to being outright conceited and reckless. She loves herself way too much to care what anyone thinks of how she behaves. Sardonyx has the Confidence and Elegance mixed to create a showman of sorts. She's proper enough to know how to be appealing, but also confident enough to have some fun with it Stevonnie's Joyful and Studious natures combine into someone who's more mature and confident than her counterparts. She's got the intelligence to know her limits but just enough wonder and curiosity to try pushing them anyway. Smokey Quartz's Brash and Joyful natures mix to be a Prankster of sorts. Immature on purpose and knows it. All in good taste though, of course. Rainbow 2.0's Elegant and Joyful natures mix to also create something of an entertainer similar to Sardonyx, but this time for a different audience. The kind of person you'd want to hire for a birthday party or babysit your psychopathic child named Onion. Sunstone's Joyful and Confident natures mix to become somewhat of a motivational speaker. Malachite's Resent and Determination mix to become fully Malicious and spiteful, which... Definitely shows. Alexandrite and Obsidian are both situations where there's just too many gems with different personalities that basically all of them fizzle out and become Neutral again, except a lot more unstable. I don't like all the stuff that this show does, but I gotta say, both the foreshadowing and fusion design in this show are some of the best things in fiction
The dance is to synchronize the 2 components in one in that moment they dance they feel like there own room Once it's fused the fusion has the components of the 2 units or the clothes and accessories it can combine the weapons of the components that fused creating a new weapon but if the units needs to be onto the same page or they will defuse the fusion is it's own person and has a personality sometimes out of the units that fused one personality mostly is on front As example in sardonix pearl controls mostly the fusions personality even tought the fusion is a own person But they are also sometimes exceptions like smoky quartz smoky quartz has the mixed version of Steven and amethyst but also connie and stevens fusion have a different personality or steg both are exceptions sins both aren't gems this can be triggered if they are Also on the same page with the Gem as example also rose quartz the only male fusions are steg rainbow quartz 2.0 since mostly the female part takes it and yes Sunstone is a female and so smoky Quartz Sunstone as example as the mixed personality of stevens comfydence and garnets protectiveness
Gems have to be synchronised to fuse. Some gems can do this without dance, cuz their already synchronised. But otherwise, a little jam session can sync up the gems.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised that someone will end up making some crystal computer capable of projecting solid holograms a 100% inspired by SU’s theories
I have a curiosity: is it possible for the gems to fuse with Stevonnie? Considering the fact that Stevonnie is only possible because of Steven's half human side, but the gems and connie have no such connection. I think it SHOULD be possible, but theres never any indication that its even a thought. Im also super curious about how those fusions would look.
This is a very accurate coclusion of fusion I myself saw this almost every time i watched it, garnet was for love opel for friendship alexandrite for partnership malachite was communly toxic bluebird was out of hate to the same person mega pearl was typicaly the pearls being there for each other and thats how far i got to cross gems fusion is very diffuclt but gems of the same kind dont have to do much to sync, ruby once said that when she fused with the other rubys she felt like herself but bigger same goes for the same kind gems fusion no need for a thid party only one. "Also the voice narrating in the video is so cool is it you or ai? If its ai please tell me how u did it😅😅😅"
.....because of the fusion dance in DBZ??? where if trunks and goten arent in sync, their fusion into a larger, more powerful saiyan warrior fails????????? is this not known or so obvious no one bothered mentioning it? im so confused
They dance as they dance in dragon ball (dragon ball z for anime people). Its just lifted from the dragon ball fushion dance with a splash of magical girl.
Each crystals have frequency n the biggest is amethyst it's said that's y is always so popular in those who work with crystals. Tho.. I wonder if amethyst have same frequency if is heated up so much to become citrine 🤔 How would show show it?
That is very meta reason I thought you conclude things with a reason from the show And if they do need to be in sync then how did garnet fuse on accident twice
It's not that difficult. They dance because it helped them get in sync. They had to be on the same page. The closer the gem the less likely they had to dance with each other. Simple
The real answer is because Rebecca Sugar never bothered to think through the implications or mechanics of fusion all that well. Not really a slight against her, but she's a weeb with self-admitted anime inspirations. It really doesn't warrant much more discussion than that.
I wonder why when Steven fused with pearl and when rose fused with pearl they made different fusions but when all the crystal gems fused it made obsidian whether they were with Steven or Rose
It probably has to do with the amount of components. Steven is half human half pink diamond, rose was full pink diamond. Rainbow quarts with rose was half pink diamon and half pearl, but rainbow quarts with steven was essentially half pearl, quarter pink diamond and quarter human. With obsidian, the difference is much smaller then with rainbow quarts because instead of steven fusing with 1 gem he fuses with 4, making his version of obsidian only 10% human and 10% pink diamond as opposed to roses version of obsidian with 20% diamond.
Steven's half human body will age until he dies, then he's stone will drop and rose will comeback. IF he isn't immortal. But why all "gems" happened to be like females, isn't that weird?

The 1st word said it all, synchronizing
these type of videos just make me admire Rebbeca Sugar's writing more and more
Because they need to be in sync with eachother
One other thing that interests me a lot about fusion is how the resulting personality is determined. Obviously nobody's fully one-dimensional in their personality, but I've noticed that compatible aspects of their personalities tend to be boldened and more apparent when added together, while incompatible traits tend to fizzle out completely.
Let's look at the "main" archetype of each important character in the show
Steven: Joyful
Connie: Studious
Ruby: Hot-headed
Sapphire: Calm
Amethyst: Brash
Pearl: Elegant
Lapis: Resentful
Jasper: Determined
When these personalities mix you get the main archetypes of every fusion.
Garnet loses both the anger and the calmness of her counterparts since they're incompatible and becomes relatively Neutral, with the added confidence of the fact that she's so in love with... Well... Herself, so her Archetype just becomes "Confident"
Opal loses the Brash and Elegant nature of her counterparts as well, which is why she doesn't seem to project much of a personality, as she's also pretty Neutral.
Sugilite's Brash and Confident natures add together and turns to being outright conceited and reckless. She loves herself way too much to care what anyone thinks of how she behaves.
Sardonyx has the Confidence and Elegance mixed to create a showman of sorts. She's proper enough to know how to be appealing, but also confident enough to have some fun with it
Stevonnie's Joyful and Studious natures combine into someone who's more mature and confident than her counterparts. She's got the intelligence to know her limits but just enough wonder and curiosity to try pushing them anyway.
Smokey Quartz's Brash and Joyful natures mix to be a Prankster of sorts. Immature on purpose and knows it. All in good taste though, of course.
Rainbow 2.0's Elegant and Joyful natures mix to also create something of an entertainer similar to Sardonyx, but this time for a different audience. The kind of person you'd want to hire for a birthday party or babysit your psychopathic child named Onion.
Sunstone's Joyful and Confident natures mix to become somewhat of a motivational speaker.
Malachite's Resent and Determination mix to become fully Malicious and spiteful, which... Definitely shows.
Alexandrite and Obsidian are both situations where there's just too many gems with different personalities that basically all of them fizzle out and become Neutral again, except a lot more unstable.
I don't like all the stuff that this show does, but I gotta say, both the foreshadowing and fusion design in this show are some of the best things in fiction
It gets them in the mood
I figured dancing helped facilitate fusion: you don’t need it but it’s a powerful tool in helping component gems get into sync physically/emotionally.
Feeling in the mood makes the fusion stronger I presume
By this logic, I'm headcanoning that Peridot's not good at dancing because she has no desire to fuse with any gem, ever
it's the easy way to enter similar mindsets
"Why do gems SOMETIMES dance to fuse"
The dance is to synchronize the 2 components in one in that moment they dance they feel like there own room
Once it's fused the fusion has the components of the 2 units or the clothes and accessories it can combine the weapons of the components that fused creating a new weapon but if the units needs to be onto the same page or they will defuse the fusion is it's own person and has a personality sometimes out of the units that fused one personality mostly is on front
As example in sardonix pearl controls mostly the fusions personality even tought the fusion is a own person
But they are also sometimes exceptions like smoky quartz smoky quartz has the mixed version of Steven and amethyst but also connie and stevens fusion have a different personality or steg both are exceptions sins both aren't gems this can be triggered if they are Also on the same page with the Gem as example also rose quartz the only male fusions are steg rainbow quartz 2.0 since mostly the female part takes it and yes Sunstone is a female and so smoky Quartz
Sunstone as example as the mixed personality of stevens comfydence and garnets protectiveness
Gems have to be synchronised to fuse. Some gems can do this without dance, cuz their already synchronised. But otherwise, a little jam session can sync up the gems.
Because fusion is a poor metaphor for relationships. There, that's the answer.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised that someone will end up making some crystal computer capable of projecting solid holograms a 100% inspired by SU’s theories
You have a very cool editing style
Thank you 🥂
Because it's fun
Because dancing is fun
My guess is dancing isn't required for fusion but involves a lot of focus and synchronization which can help with fusing
I wonder what happens when you put a gem in your mouth and it forms?
I wish we could’ve seen diamonds fusing but I keep thinking that blues older because she has a more slower mysterious vibe than yellow?
@@VanceKaessinger but in ‘what’s the use of feeling blue’ yellow acts older
@@VanceKaessinger the only realistic way it could have happened is blue and yellow fusing to beat white diamond in ‘change your mind’
@@toonsnooper yeah but maybe yellow could’ve possibly forced herself to act mature and direct towards blue after pink got shattered
@@toonsnooperguys blue has more colony's than yellow so probably she is older
I have a curiosity: is it possible for the gems to fuse with Stevonnie? Considering the fact that Stevonnie is only possible because of Steven's half human side, but the gems and connie have no such connection.
I think it SHOULD be possible, but theres never any indication that its even a thought. Im also super curious about how those fusions would look.
They playing just dance that’s why
This is a very accurate coclusion of fusion I myself saw this almost every time i watched it, garnet was for love opel for friendship alexandrite for partnership malachite was communly toxic bluebird was out of hate to the same person mega pearl was typicaly the pearls being there for each other and thats how far i got to cross gems fusion is very diffuclt but gems of the same kind dont have to do much to sync, ruby once said that when she fused with the other rubys she felt like herself but bigger same goes for the same kind gems fusion no need for a thid party only one.
"Also the voice narrating in the video is so cool is it you or ai? If its ai please tell me how u did it😅😅😅"
Sardonyx is my second favorite fusion
My favorite fusion dance is when they form obsidian
I really like ur voice :3 i hope you make an hour or so vid :3 ❤
.....because of the fusion dance in DBZ??? where if trunks and goten arent in sync, their fusion into a larger, more powerful saiyan warrior fails????????? is this not known or so obvious no one bothered mentioning it? im so confused
My theory is that they can fuse without dancing but dancing helps them fuse
Could you make video about
1) No Good Nick
2) Code Lyoko
3) Cruella
Is this creator actually unaware of DragonBall Z fussion dance? That was CLEARLY the inspiration.
This make sense 🗿🔥🔥

They dance as they dance in dragon ball (dragon ball z for anime people). Its just lifted from the dragon ball fushion dance with a splash of magical girl.
Pink pearl/volleyball Should have been named Pink lasagna in my opinion
But the real question is WHY IS IT ALWAYS SO SASSY?!
What’s weird is that they’re dancing with no music in reality and not really making any sounds either
I mean
Isn't it oblivious
They need to be harmornize their mind, heart and body to fuse
And the best way to do it it's dance
Each crystals have frequency n the biggest is amethyst it's said that's y is always so popular in those who work with crystals. Tho.. I wonder if amethyst have same frequency if is heated up so much to become citrine 🤔 How would show show it?
To be on the same page, simple
Y’all heard what I heard when the diamond sound
I'm not sure about this but I think the concept of the Fusion dance originally was meant to be a reference to Dragon Ball
It’s a reference to sailor moon & Giant robots
They at least want to break it down before they do something coll
I always thought it was a DBZ reference.
the answer is in the beggining of the video and garnet says it
Yeah but there are some parts where they don’t dance to fuse like with jasper and that corrupted gem and aquamarine ruby
It’s in the video 😼
That is very meta reason I thought you conclude things with a reason from the show
And if they do need to be in sync then how did garnet fuse on accident twice
It's not that difficult. They dance because it helped them get in sync. They had to be on the same page. The closer the gem the less likely they had to dance with each other.
Simple
The real answer is because Rebecca Sugar never bothered to think through the implications or mechanics of fusion all that well.
Not really a slight against her, but she's a weeb with self-admitted anime inspirations. It really doesn't warrant much more discussion than that.
I wonder why when Steven fused with pearl and when rose fused with pearl they made different fusions but when all the crystal gems fused it made obsidian whether they were with Steven or Rose
It probably has to do with the amount of components. Steven is half human half pink diamond, rose was full pink diamond. Rainbow quarts with rose was half pink diamon and half pearl, but rainbow quarts with steven was essentially half pearl, quarter pink diamond and quarter human. With obsidian, the difference is much smaller then with rainbow quarts because instead of steven fusing with 1 gem he fuses with 4, making his version of obsidian only 10% human and 10% pink diamond as opposed to roses version of obsidian with 20% diamond.
I bet it just does the fusion dance for like the first time or second the 2 gems fuse ngl
bro when you said to subscribe the subscribe button glowed rainbow... since when did it start to do THAT??
What's the song in the intro?
Someone pls help us
Bro I did a shit ton of scrolling through the comment section a long time ago and I figured it out already
It's Diamonds and pearls by QKreign
WAIT, garned tried to teach peridot how to fuse?? What episode is that??
Season 2 ep 26
Steven's half human body will age until he dies, then he's stone will drop and rose will comeback. IF he isn't immortal. But why all "gems" happened to be like females, isn't that weird?
