The only emotional component was Vegeta being embarrassed about doing the fusion dance.

(¯3¯): Vegetarian was just mad because DBZ fusion doesn't allow you to dance like yourself. I bet if it did he wouldn't have had to be coaxed into it...complete consent.

Would that qualify as something of a Deconstruction of the Fusion Dance?

And I'm not saying that because it's popular on the site to call whatever trope you like a Deconstruction, as far as I can tell the trope means to examine something so realistically that the intended use falls apart and a different result is achieved beyond what the base meaning usually prescribes.

I have no idea, does it? I just thought Vegetarian would feel better fusing Stephen Universe style...free stylin'.

If anything I think DBZ was one of the original parodies of it, basically parodying itself after they played it straight with Piccolo and Nail. :P

If memory serves, Goku is pretty much the only character who never shows any embarrassment at the fusion dance, while everyone else is like "..."

So is there supposed to be any specific reason there were a disproportionate number of corrupted gems on the loose in the first season, or are we just chalking that up to Early-Installment Weirdness? The corrupted gems are supposed to be drawn to the temple, right? If that's the case, then why did they leave the temple unattended for so long while they were at the barn?

Gem Monsters are drawn to other Gems, not the temple itself. The same is true of Gem Mutants. So the real question is why the monsters didn't attack the barn.

maybe they are far enought so they get a little bit late for now.

Even them, what is now? I thing they are going to have a couple of soft episode so they can have some breathing room and returnt to funny chararter devolpment, but I cant see what is next? the cluster?jaspter? homeworld again?

There was usually nothing going on early in the series, so they typically just went out to look for corrupted gems...also very few of the corruption gems actually came near the temple and one was just conveniently near there underwater minding its own business like most of the ones they find.

[up]x4 The implication is that Garnet, Peal, Amethyst, and Rose were the only non-corrupted gems on Earth for a long time. They're the only ones with their insignia on the temple. And since, before the current plot, new gems haven't come to Earth since the war. They had a lot of time to bubble the corrupted gems before Steven was born

That's something I've always wondered about. Have they always been seeking out Gem artifacts and fighting corrupted Gems? You think they would've taken care of all of that before Steven was born.

Come to think of it, they haven't retrieved a Gem artifact is like, ever. I wonder if we'll ever see any of them again. Like those beetles.

They are? They must having been important since they weren't poofed and bubbled.
