** Her flame breath takes a moment to charge during which she's relatively defenseless. If a gem is fast enough to react [[spoiler: like Malechite]], a good sucker-punch is enough to entirely disrupt it.
** Due to her size, any decently sized fall is going to HURT. While she was able to tank a few good hits [[spoiler: while clashing with Malechite,]] getting tossed into the air and landing hard on her back was nearly enough to break her apart.

* {{BFS}}: Their Gem Weapon is a sword as big as they are tall. Which, given how big they are, makes it probably bigger than entire ''buildings''. More specifically, their weapon is all four of the core Crystal Gems' weapons fused into a sword ''hilt''. [[CoolSword They then proceed to open their second mouth to dip it in lava and form the blade.]]

* AllThereInTheScript: He's NeverGivenAName onscreen because everyone was in too much of a rush the one time we see him formed. The name "Steg", though obvious following the pattern set by Stevonnie's, is only found in the closed captions and credits — and not even the ''in-movie'' credits, [[NowWhichOneWasThatVoice which don't specify actors by character]].

Rated M For Manly is about works, not specific characters


%%* RatedMForManly: Compared to Steven's other fusions, which are with a teenage girl and femme-presenting genderless aliens, his fusion with grown man Greg is ''much'' more masculine than the sum of his parts.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Permafusion}}: Gem Fusion is based on both the relationship and harmony that the components hold within each other. As long as this harmony remains untouched, any gem fusion can potentially last forever. This can either be the result of the components being literally in love with each other, as shown by Garnet, or by the components just wanting to stay in each other's company, like Rhodonite and Fluorite.

Per TRS.


* ContraltoOfDanger: The majority of Fusions speak with relatively low female voices, indicating their strength and power. In the early episodes before Garnet was revealed to be a Fusion, being played by the deep-voiced Estelle was a stealthy clue about her true nature.



* ContraltoOfDanger: Despite how relatively high the voices of her two reagents are, Opal has a deep, soothing voice that could put even Garnet to shame.

* PutOnABus: Malachite is forcible defused by Alexandrite in "Super Watermelon Island", after which Lapis decidedly does not want to fuse with Jasper. Malachite is unlikely to ever be formed again, which is about as close as a fusion with extant components gets to being KilledOffForReal.

Trope is a disambig now


* MorphicResonance: Smoky Quartz has Amethyst's PeekABangs, plump lips, boots and tank top and Steven's head shape, hair color, shirt, and pants. Their heavyset nature comes from both, and Steven's shield becomes a KillerYoYo, with Amethyst's whip being the string.

* AwesomeYetImpractical: Sugilite is incredibly powerful, strong, and easier to form than Opal... but also nearly impossible to control and risks running rampant if formed. Furthermore, due to CharacterDevelopment, Alexandrite (who is more powerful than Sugilite) seems to have become far more stable and easier to form, and as such is now typically used in situations that would call for Sugilite. She's also this from a meta perspective, as her voice actress is incredibly pricey and hard to get, something Sardonyx lampshades via BreakingTheFourthWall.

* BareYourMidriff: Her form in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E26TogetherAlone "Together Alone"]] incorporates Amethyst's jagged tank top as her top being torn off, exposing her waist.



* BareYourMidriff: Steven's shirt is small, resulting in his navel showing.



* BareYourMidriff: Stevonnie's body being much larger and older than the children that make them up results in their loose fitting dress, shirt, and jeans turning into a very tight-fitting tank top, undershirt, and shorts.



* BareYourMidriff: Steven's shirt is mostly unchanged save for the fact that exposes a large swatch of stomach, including the Rose Quartz gem.



* BareYourMidriff: Their outfit exposes their midriff.



* MorphicResonance: From Lapis, Malachite has a similar hair shape, a slimmer face, upper arms and torso, a [[BareYourMidriff bared midriff]] and similarly fluid movements. From Jasper, she gets the pale wild hair, skin stripes, fuller lips, SlasherSmile, pupils, thick remaining arms and lower torso, general outfit design and colossal size.

Combined Obsidian Expy with Mythical Motif, since they both bring up mainly the same point


* {{Expy}}: Obsidian is strongly reminiscent of the Hindu goddess Kali. Both have dark skin, long hair, multiple arms, and a ferocious temperament. Like Obsidian, Kali is created to defeat a powerful enemy in multiple stories.



* MythicalMotifs: They greatly resemble a deity from Polynesian or Hindu mythology.

** Just mantaining her form at all puts an immense strain on the gems and will leave them a bit winded when they split apart even if they don't do any fighting. Given how easily she can come undone, this makes using her a VERY dangerous walk on the razor's edge.


Added DiffLines:

** By the time of ''Future'' the gems are well enough adjusted and haromonized that they're able to slide between all of their on-screen fusions up to and including Alex ''while shapeshifted'' as part of a game of Steven Tag.


Added DiffLines:

* TheWorfBarrage: In general, by the time ''Future'' rolls around, the gems have achieved such a level of harmony that Alexandrite gets upgraded/degraded into being more of a LimitBreak like their other fusions rather than a GodzillaThreshold last resort.

* BeyondRedemption: Surprisingly for a show like this, this ultimately rings true of both her and her components. The [[AnAesop Aesop]] of this episode being that just because everyone ''can'' change doesn't mean everyone ''wants to''. Because Eyeball and Aquamarine refuse to change for the better, they and by extension Bluebird are ultimately considered irredeemable [[CardCarryingVillain and they clearly wouldn't have it any other way]].

* MorphicResonance: Opal has Amethyst's purple skin, full lips, and long white hair plus Pearl's height, nose, and overall outfit design, even getting a waist-wrap after Pearl regenerates to correspond to her GiantWaistRibbon. She also retains Pearl's ballerina-esque fighting style.

They can [[TalkingToThemself talk to themselves]] out loud but can emphatically share feelings (such as Stevonnie feeling social anxiety from Connie).

* MamaBear: Due to their mutual love for Steven and desire to protect him, Steven being in danger is one of the few contexts in which Alexanderite is easy to form and remain stable.



* MorphicResonance: Alexandrite has Amethyst's long hair, holes at the knees, and purple colors plus Pearl's nose, and seems to derive part of her hair shape from Pearl, as is her waist band. The purple coloring and long hair could come from Ruby and Sapphire. She also has Garnet's shoulders, and one set of her gloves is distinctly Garnet's single fingered gloves. The other two pairs match Pearl and Amethyst's coloring, even though they don't wear gloves.
