%%* CounterpartComparison: The Akiridions and the Gems from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' share some similarities. Both are HardLight beings with technology thousands of years ahead of human technology and are ruled by a monarchy. If a Gem/Akaridion body is critically injured, they can retreat into their HeartDrive to heal as long as it remains intact, but if the gem/life-core is destroyed, they're rendered DeaderThanDead. The main differences are that Akiridians have multiple genders where Gems don't have any and reforming is much harder for Akiridions.
