## **Early Concept & Creation**

Back in 2019 in one of Brittany Robinson's early concept art for the Pink Corruption series, Cube, in his early concept art, had the least amount of changes than the other caretakes. It likely was about to wear triangle cat ears throughout the series.

From the look of his other appearances in the video, Cube was seen

## **Appearance**

### **Child**

When he was little, he wore similar clothing to his recent outfit of the present time, but with a different color.

### **Base Form**

In his base form, Cube is a light blue cube with closed black line eyes, his right eye (our left) has a rectangular tear coming off of it, his body is an even darker blue, light blue- almost cyan square-like hands, and a mouth with a tongue and teeth. Cube has a cerulean scarf, darker blue sleeveless coat, and dark blue shoes with light blue stripes. Cube is based on the friend character from Just Shapes and Beats. In some shorts, he has light cyan triangle ears that look like the triangles on JSaB friend's head after Close to Me.

Cube basically shows he has light blue feet when he doesn't have his clothing on. He basically does this whenever it's nighttime and about to go to bed.

Just like his original JSAB counterpart, he also has two triangles on his head, acting like cat ears.

### **Soul Realm Clothing**

While inside his soul, Cube's cloak becomes light blue.

### **Frankenstein Costume**

On Halloween, Cube's Frankenstein costume consists of his black cloak, white shirt, and the rest of his face is makeup.

### **Christmas**

In the Christmas with Cyan, Cube, and Lythorus short video, Cube wore a green cloak, red scarf, red shirt with his triangle chest being green, and brown shoes with yellow stripes and fluff on the top part of the shoes.

### **Tree Form**

It's unknown what Cube will look like in his Tree Form when he gets fully upgraded.

## **Role**

### **Caretaker**

Cube mainly serves as the 4th and last caretaker. He is assigned to take care of his hero from the Cyan Tree of Life, Cyan. He is responsible with the others caretakers and heroes to take for the Pink Corruption Virus and defeat Dub once and for all.

## **Corruption**

### **History**

#### **Season 1**

    Cube was first infected in Season 1, Episode 2, when Acrilimus shot out a laser, infecting him. However, he wasn't fully corrupted due to his special ability to be more resistant to Pink Corruption with the help of his connection with his hero, Cyan.

Later in the episode, it caused Cube's infection to start to get worse when he initially experiences the symptoms and we see a brief glimpse of Cubic. This literally caused Cyan and Lythorus to grow worried about it. But eventually, Cube's infection was temporarily cured by Iris's orange purification triangle, but not fully.

Although by the time Cube and Cyan were about to make it toward the Tree of Life before Dub by given a ride from Ketches with Copter, Dub then caused a pink wave, which apparently caused Cube's infection to go presumably haywire again that caused him to grab both Copter and his hero, Cyan and throw Copter to land and Cyan toward the Cyan Tree of Life which resulted his sudden maturity problem. This also caused Cube to lose consciousness after this incident. When Iris quickly arrived onto the boat (Ketches), Cube woke up and was asked by him how his hero, Cyan, transformed so quickly. Cube couldn't give an answer because he "**only just woke up.**"

In Season 1, Episode 3, Cube with his hero, Cyan sleeps in the Poly Inn at Poly Village. Cube then unwittingly enters a mysterious realm, known as the inside of his "**soul**" due to his infection. In this realm, Cube confronted his corrupted counterpart, Cubic, who proceeded to taunt him about his inadequacies as a caretaker to Cyan. Unfazed, Cube lifted Cubic off the ground, and the latter cryptically suggested that increasing his bond with Cyan would make him stronger. This caused Cube to react in anger and nearly struck Cubic with a punch.

Upon awakening from the dream, Cube found himself landing a blow on Tsavorite and Orange's shield causing it to crack. This was because, while still in the grip of his dream, Cube had unwittingly attempted to attack Cyan, prompting Tsavorite and Orange to intervene in defense of him.

In Season 1, Episode 4, when Cube was with Iris, Orange, and Cyan, they initially confronted Lycanthropy on their mission. Cube noticed that Lycanthropy was his childhood best friend, Lythorus, after he had become corrupted off-screen since he left him and Cyan in Season 1, Episode 2. This caused Cube's infection to grow bigger presumably because of witnessing Lythorus becoming a corrupt in front of his own eyes.

In Season 1, Episode 5, when Pentellow suggests it's a good idea for him and Cyan to strength his bond while fighting Ajaceare, Cube then starts to remember the dream he's had about Cubic since Season 1, Episode 3. Although this thought initially unsettles Cube, he resolves to ignore his misgivings and queries the Shape's whereabouts. However, the three heroes and Pentellow express perplexity concerning Cube's apprehension.

In the opening scene of Season 1, Episode 6, Cube gets instantly purified by his hero, Cyan who is in his matured form. This led for Cube to remain uncorrupted by the virus for Season 1, Episode 7-8.

In Season 1, Episode 9, Cube became re-infected as a result of impulsively engaging in combat with Cubic without the assistance of his fellow caretakers and heroes. Cube was ultimately overpowered during the fight, when the effects of the virus on his right infected hand began to manifest after punching Cubic. As a consequence, Cubic was able to gain the upper hand and was ultimately dealt a fatal blow by summoning a newly acquired drill weapon, piercing through Cube's abdomen and re-infecting him once again.

### **Abilities**

* **Soul Realm Traveling** - It appears that whenever Cube falls asleep while partially-infected with the Pink Corruption Virus or while his corrupted counterpart is still cloned, he has the ability to go inside a mysterious realm, which existed inside of his soul. This also lets him see and interact with Cubic while inside the realm due to them being separate.

### **Effects**

Here are all of the effects and symptoms Cube has gotten while infected.

* **Body Controlling** - It appears that Cube's actions are being manipulated by Cubic, whether the latter is conscious or in a state of slumber. This was vividly demonstrated when Cube seemed to be on the verge of attacking Cubic, and later, when, in reality, his hand began to crack and damage a protective shield created by the heroes, Orange and Tsavorite all while he was nudged into action by a terrified Cyan since Season 1, Episode 3.
* **Infection Expands** - Cube's infection can expand emotionally when shown in Season 1, Episode 4, when Cube out of heartbreak, sees Lycanthropy for the first time as his childhood best friend, Lythorus. Lyanthropy noticed this and tried to summon Cubic out of Cube.
* **Higher Influence** **From Other Corrupts** - Cube's control of his infection can be susceptible to influence from external sources. This was starkly evidenced in Season 1, Episode 5, when Ajaceare commanded Cubic to emerge from his hiding place, causing Cube to lose control and attack Iris and Cintagon with a saw blade, before ultimately becoming overpowered and captured due to his partial infection and his grabbing claws ability.
* **Excessive Sweating & Heavy Panting** - Cube was shown sweating a lot and panting while infected.
* **Jerking Head & Body** - Cube was shown seeing his head and body involuntarily jerk backward from time to time, briefly flickering the color pink as this happens.
* **Difficulty Of Standing** - Cube was seen having difficulty of standing up.

## **Personality**

> "Cube, a shy, but physically strong shape."
>
> - Brittany Robinson briefly describes Cube in the Season 1, Episode 1 recap video.

Since childhood, Cube was a very lonely and sad shape since when he was still a kid. During his childhood, he didn't have many friends besides Lythorus. It is also strongly suggested that he also lacked memories of his family, which is probably these two reasons for his sadness. This could be attributed to the fact that Cube is the only non-flower shape that inhabits the Middle of Paradise (if not counting Cyan). As a result of this, Cube appears to struggle deeply with feelings of loneliness, which are often apparent in his behavior. In the Gift Giving short, for instance, Cube was visibly on the verge of tears, specifically shown in his left eye's tear before his childhood best friend, Lythorus showed up.

Despite that, Cube is generally a very kindhearted, caring, and a gentle shape, while maintaining a calm yet still deeply sad expression. This is likely due to him still having his sadness since childhood.

    Cube is shy and somewhat introverted, which causes him to be overlooked by others, including his friends. This makes him very non-talkative on occasion, which makes it difficult for him to share his problems he's dealing with, especially with his companions, the caretakers Pyrare, Pentellow, and Iris about his infection. In one instance, during Season 1, Episode 9, Iris yells at him for not informing them about the dream he had involving Cubic since Episode 7 which proved to be a crucial moment, despite Cube being rather oblivious to the dream itself. Despite this, Cube is a highly courteous and well-mannered individual, which eventually helps him to become more open and sociable as he comes to know others better.

As one of the caretakers, Cube initially showed a certain degree of indifference to his role and responsibility as a caretaker. At the beginning of the series, he was prone to neglecting his duties, such as forgetting to assist his hero Cyan in sealing away Dub, as well as forgetting to give Cyan his name since Season 1, Episode 1. As the series progresses, Cube has developed mixed feelings regarding his role. While he finds the position somewhat rewarding and strongly still looks out for his hero, he has also experienced a fair amount of stress, and at times has even considered giving up his duties altogether. For instance, in Season 1, Episode 10, Cube has a conversation with Pyrare about these struggles, likely due to his ongoing feelings of self-blame and accountability for his duties as a caretaker to Cyan.

Cube has a tendency to become rather timid and nervous when tasked with difficult or important responsibilities. While very gentle, he is shown that he can be easily spooked by others, when Circubit jump scares behind him, Iris, and their heroes, Cube loudly screams in fear, causing Circubit to burst out laughing since Season 2, Episode 1. Nevertheless, Cube will act more confident, determined, and committed to acting seriously, in order to protect his loved ones while fighting off corrupts and getting missions done with his companions.

Following his contraction of the Pink Corruption Virus, Cube began to develop a sense of self-consciousness regarding his condition. He became increasingly anxious about avoiding unwanted attention and comments from other shapes, often taking great care to conceal his infected spot. This was evident in Season 1, Episode 4, when Squadril noticed Cube's infected spot and then cautious him, causing Cube to hurriedly cover it. Additionally, Cube was shown to be a bit afraid regarding his corrupted counterpart, Cubic. Cube recalls Cubic's assertion in Season 1, Episode 3 that he could become stronger by strengthening his bond with Cyan. This only increases his discomfort in forming a closer bond with Cyan, which was first noticed in Season 1, Episode 5.

Cube is sensitive and emotional regarding the needs and well-being of those around him, particularly those whom he regards as close and who are at risk of harm or separation from him. He was seen converting his negative emotions, which can occasionally manifest him to be out of aggression or being careless and impulsive. For instance, Cube displayed a reckless determination in his violent triumph over Acrilimus, motivated solely by his desire to rescue his hero, Cyan instead of not harming the creature. Similarly, alongside Cyan, his decision to physically confront Cubic and Cyanide without the support of their friends resulted in him becoming re-infected, as shown in Season 1, Episode 9. Cube is seen to struggle in confrontational situations with others, causing him to easily break down in tears. This likely prevented him from standing up for himself.

Confirmed in the Pink Corruption QnA Part 2 video, Cube has a passion for making music, including things such as dancing and singing, stating it as his favorite hobby. This can be proven in some of the shorts and has a music-themed poster in his room in Season 1, Episode 1.

## **Powers and Abilities**

**Overall Abilities -** Despite his occasional recklessness, Cube has demonstrated himself to be a highly capable fighter throughout the series. It is implied that he did possess some degree of fighting ability prior to the events of the main plot, likely acquired during battles alongside Lythorus. However, this expertise had become somewhat rusty due to Cube's prolonged period of inactivity in combat. Following this, Cube initially informed Iris of his somewhat diminished skills. Nevertheless, Cube again demonstrated his prowess as a combatant when he, Orange, Iris, and Cyan combined forces to defeat Lycanthropy. Cube played an instrumental role in devising and executing a successful battle strategy, as well as displaying the full range of his weapons in the fight, ultimately defeating Lycanthropy in Season 1, Episode 4.

In subsequent episodes, Cube engaged in more successful battles against formidable adversaries, even those twice his size. One such instance was when Cube single-handedly defeated Acrilimus, violently employing his grabbing claws and saw blades to save his hero, Cyan, in Season 1, Episode 8.

### **Natural-Born Abilities**

**Superhuman Strength -** As a cube, Cube's main natural-born ability allows him to possess superhuman strength, making him physically stronger than most shapes. He has proven to have amazing physical strength, by seeing him easily carry and lift large rocks, and sending other shapes flying with a single punch. In The Monster Test video, it was seen that Cube can knock down larger opponents to the ground such as Pyrare who who is in fact a monster shape with one blow. His punches are executed with force, as his hand glows and creates a small sonic boom upon impact.

* **Enhanced Leap -** Cube has shown high leg strength on occasion, which allows him to jump much higher than average shapes. He can be seen jumping to great heights as seen when he leaped out of Acrilimus's body with Cyan into the air since Season 1, Episode 8.

**Enhanced Resilience -** Despite not possessing the same level of resilience as a pentagon, Cube has shown to be impressively tough on several occasions. He demonstrated this when he withstood a laser attack from Acrilimus, which sent him flying into the cave's walls that resulted in cracks behind him. In another instance, he survived a significant fall from the sky alongside Iris and Cintagon, despite sustaining a broken leg and minor bruises. More recently, in Season 1, Episode 9, Cube was also able to survive a piercing drill attack from Cubic that went through his abdomen.

**Body Dismemberment -** Just like his video game counterpart, Cube can disembody himself with only he's head and hands showing.

### **Controllable Weapons**

**Grabbing Claws -** One of his primarily controllable weapons such as his claws. It was mostly seen from in fights that Cube uses to extend two claws behind him simultaneously, which can serve a few purposes, such as restraining enemies, and grabbing projectiles. It remains unclear if a detached claw can return to Cube, as it is not seen vanishing on-screen.

**Gears -** Cube can summon gears that it can be used to throw at enemies. Notably, when this power is selected, his eyes become the shape of black gears, with his left eye, tearless and open, occupying the negative space.

* **Disabling** - It can also be used to momentarily disable an enemy's hand movement. For example, Cube was first seen using this skill by disabling Lycanthropy's next attack on him before he was about to launch spike balls.

**Saw Blades -** Although not frequently shown, Cube can summon saw blades. Most noticeably for offensive purposes only. When this power is selected, his left eye transmutes into a spinning blade. His saw blades were very sharp, that it were strong enough to slice through Acrilimus's body with ease. It is conceivable that Cube refrains from using this to avoid harming corrupted shapes, especially allies.

### **Special Abilities**

**Connection With Cyan** - Due to his being connected with her hero, Cyan, Cube has these abilities in the following below:

* **Sealing -** Due to Cube being one of the chosen ones as a caretaker of the Cyan tree, Cube appears to have acquired some special abilities, most notably the sealing technique. This is a unique ritual power that enables Cube to synchronize his hero, Cyan, with the Cyan Tree of Life's energy, resulting in the formation of an upside-down triangle. This allows his hero to gain enough sufficient power to strengthen a seal capable of trapping corrupts within. Cube can seemingly create a seal without Cyan's help, but it results in it being a weaker version of it.
* **Pink Corruption Virus Resistence -** Due to his connection with his hero, Cyan, Cube has gained the ability to be more resistant towards the Pink Corruption Virus. However, Cube will still have issues while being partially-infected such as having dreams with Cubic within his soul and sometimes losing control over his infection.

**Tree Form (Coming Very Soon) -** We don't know for certain what abilities Cube will get in his tree form.

### **Skillset**

**Intelligence** - Despite his occasional impulsiveness and foolhardiness, Cube still proved to be a smart and quick-minded shape.

* **Strategic Skills** - Cube has demonstrated great strategic thinking abilities, as evidenced by his successful plan implementation on numerous occasions. This has impressed notable individuals such as Iris and, also Pyrare, who said to him one time acknowledging him as a quick strategizer since Season 1, Episode 8. Cube is capable of developing battle strategies with others, as demonstrated when he utilized his grabbing claws in conjunction with Iris's orange purification triangle to restrain and temporarily cure a corrupt. Additionally, Cube has proven to be highly effective in utilizing his combat skills strategically and quickly against opponents, even those larger than him, such as Acrilimus in the Family Search Subplot.

**Musical Talent -** Cube has stated that he loves making music in the Pink Corruption QnA videos (Part 1-2). He was also seen as a good singer and dancer in some of the shorts.

**Skilled Weapon User -** Cube has been seen as being skilled at controlling and utilizing his weapons in battle.

**Grapping Proficiency -** Cube has shown proficient grappling skills with his grabbing claws, being able to grapple on to overhead targets and latch onto enemies and pull himself in towards them at quick speeds.

## **Weaknesses**

### **Body**

* **Damaged** **Body** - Confirmed in Season 1, Episode 9, if Cube's body becomes damaged, he cannot fight and disembody.
* **Pink Corruption Virus** - Despite being more resistant to the Pink Corruption Virus, Cube can still experience symptoms from it while being semi-infected.

### **Weapons**

* **Being Dragged With His Grabbing Claws** - There is a drawback for his grabbing claws. Cube may unintentionally be dragged along with the target if they pull with enough force which was seen in the opening scene of Season 1, Episode 6 when Cube alongside Iris and Cintagon were being dragged by Cyan in his sudden mature state.
