Cube/Relationships

## **Family**

#### **His Parents And Other Family Relatives**

It is heavily implied that Cube appears to have no memory of his parents or of other members within his family. This is due to his upbringing, which primarily took place in the residence of the Flowers, located in the middle of Paradise.

In Season 1, Episode 7, during a conversation between Pentellow and Iris about searching for her family, Cube's facial expression suggests that he may have been considering a search for his own family as well.

### **Other Relationships**

#### **Cyan**

> Also, Cyan...I never thought I would be chosen, but I'm glad I have been...He's the main reason I don't give up...I love him too much to do that...
>
> Cube to Pyrare about his hero, Cyan in Season 1, Episode 10.

Cyan is the assigned hero for Cube, whom he loves deeply. However, despite Cube's best intentions, he struggles to adequately care for Cyan throughout the series. Initially, in Season 1, Episode 1, Cube exhibited a degree of indifference toward acquiring Cyan, before gradually finding great pleasure in caring for him once Cyan was officially under his care. Later on that evening, Cube appeared somewhat taken aback by Cyan's newly-discovered ability, which allows him to see powerful corrupts through nightmarish-like visions. Despite this, Cube did his utmost to comfort Cyan, reassuring him that he was probably just experiencing a bad dream. But, Cube was still confused after his hero got another vision and becomes unconscious from colliding into one of his bedroom's walls.

The following morning, Cube remained unaware of Cyan's newly acquired power, but his curiosity was piqued by Cyan's second form, which enabled the two to communicate about the events of the previous night. Cube almost succeeded in discerning what had occurred when the pair were abruptly interrupted by Copter's loud exclamation of 'monster' outside the window. Despite these distractions, Cube continued to exhibit a degree of obliviousness to his responsibilities as Cyan's caretaker, such as questioning why he required Cyan's assistance or neglecting to give Cyan his name. Nevertheless, Cube and Cyan were able to work together somewhat successfully in sealing away Dub (due to them sealing only the top part of the seal).

Towards the conclusion of the episode, Cube cordially showed his hero, Cyan he inhabited near the Flowers, excitedly introducing him to his childhood best friend, Lythorus, who was chatting with George and his kin. While talking with Lythorus, at this time, Cube knew that Cyan doesn't know anything about the Pink Corruption Virus due to his unawareness of it. After witnessing George inexplicably become infected and infecting his family while running away, this event caused Cube's hero, Cyan to become saddened by it because he and Cube fought to themselves that they fully sealed up Dub up on the mountains.

During Season 1, Episode 2, Cube realizes that he and Cyan did not properly seal the entire seal from top to bottom. As a result, Cyan becomes very upset and hides inside his cloak. Shortly after, when Acrilimus was about to start attacking his hero who was still inside his cloak, Cube in a sense of parental instinct, and pulls Cyan out of his cloak in less than a second to prevent the latter from being hit. After Cube got infected, this caused his Cyan to start fighting off and defeating Acrilimus.

As the episode progressed, Iris was introduced and Cube made a conscious effort to convince his hero, Cyan, to act sensibly. Cube was dealing with his infected spot because Cyan had shared their mission to reach the Tree of Life before Dub with Iris. However, it was apparent that Cyan was already behaving in a level-headed manner, thereby indicating that Cube's initial concerns were likely unfounded.

In Season 1, Episode 2, Cube became concerned about his hero, Cyan, who was suddenly in his sudden mature form after Cube lost control of his infection. However, Cube was able to approach Cyan calmly and gently hug him, which successfully reverted him back to his normal second form.

In Season 1, Episode 3,

During the Season 1 finale, Cube's primary reason for his perseverance as a caretaker is his hero, Cyan, despite the obstacles he's faced throughout the series so far during his conversation toward Pyrare. This highlights the deep affection Cube has for his hero, Cyan, and the strong bond they share, which enabled him to carry out his duties as a chosen one alongside the other caretakers.

## **Friends**

### **The Caretakers and Heroes**

#### **Iris**

So far, Cube still appears to be friends with Iris, although he doesn't like the way Iris acts and treats him, particularly because of his demeanors being strange, concerning, or perhaps rude. Upon initially meeting Iris, Cube appeared unimpressed by Iris's unnecessarily dark humor during the serious situation alongside Lythorus and Cyan. While still suffering from the effects of his infection from the Pink Corruption Virus, however, after Iris temporarily healed Cube using his purification orange triangle, Cube quickly became acquainted with him, despite the duo not having a conversation let in here.

In Season 1, Episode 2, Cube was finally able to interact with Iris. However, their interaction was brief due to Cube being lectured by him about his hero, Cyan, maturing too quickly. But, Cube doesn't know what happened after he just woke up from being corrupted by the virus.

In Season 1, Episodes 3 to 4, Cube's relationship with Iris was still neutral because of the two barely interacted. Cube was thankful alongside Pentellow that Iris was still safe after Dub's attack near the Tree of Life. At the episode's conclusion, Cube demonstrated his trust in Iris and sought his and Pentellow's advice on how to become a better caretaker despite Iris expressing an inscrutable expression afterward. Later into Episode 4, while on the Lycanthropy mission, Cube exhibited a degree of unease, confessing to Iris that his combat skills were slightly rusty. In response, Iris offered him sympathy and further advice on how various weapons function for shapes capable of fighting, Iris wasn't overtly empathetic to Cube here for some unknown reason.

When the group finally encountered Lycanthropy, Cube noticed was preparing to attack him, although Lycanthropy was, in fact, Cube's friend, Lythorus, who had become corrupt. Cube then approached Iris to discuss the situation and offered his suggestion for how to subdue Lycanthropy without causing him harm. In response, Iris recalled a technique employed alongside Orange in their successful efforts to defeat Dub. After their triumph over Lycanthropy in Season 1, Episode 4, Cube received a gesture of mutual respect from Iris in the form of a handshake, recognizing their triumph as indicative of successful collaboration.

In Season 1, Episode 5, Cube and Iris began to work together more effectively, employing their previous battle strategy to combat Commando Circumcannon. This demonstration of their improved teamwork culminated in Cube receiving a high-five from Iris. Later in the episode, during their mission to search for Ajaceare, Cube questioned why Iris had accompanied them. Although it remained unclear why Cube posed this question, it was plausible that he had preferred to be joined solely by his hero, Cyan, and Cintagon on the mission. In response, Iris explained that he wished to ensure Cube's safety due to Cube's partial infection by the virus. This became even more evident when Iris promptly intervened and saved Cube from an imminent and oncoming horde of corrupt flowers, which were advancing towards him, Cube, and Cintagon.

In Season 1, Episode 6, when Cube's hero, Cyan, experienced a sudden bout of maturity, Cube found himself imperiled, with Iris being the first to offer him assistance, followed by Cintagon. Despite their efforts, they failed regardless.

Subsequently, in Season 1, Episode 7, when Cube was still grieving over Cyan's absence, Cube was quickly consoled by Iris; with a reassuring smile, Iris assures Cube that everything will be alright. Despite Iris's encouraging words, Cube remains somewhat unsettled, though he endeavored to remain optimistic until Cyan's eventual return to the group.

When the Family Search Arc started, Cube made Iris with the others visibly shocked over his violent actions since Season 1, Episode 8.

In Season 1, Episode 9, Iris conveyed a momentary sense of displeasure toward Cube for deliberately concealing information about Cubic's resurgence, despite Cube's lack of consciousness regarding its significance. For being sensitive and emotional, he was moved to tears alongside his hero, Cyan. Adding to this, Cube exhibited further frustration towards Iris at the end of the episode in response to Cube's impulsive tendency here. This also likely caused Cube to have Iris neglect to offer an apology to him.

In the second season, while Cube was carrying out his mission to locate Circubit, he began feeling uneasy and apprehensive as a result of observing Iris's sudden shift in attitude toward him during their joint search. Cube expressed concern regarding Iris's altered demeanor, highlighting that Cube and him weren't this serious when it was Lythorus, likely talking about their mission from Lycanthropy since Season 1, Episode 4. This discrepancy potentially was alarming for Cube as he proceeded to inquire about Iris's discomfort towards him. When Cube attempted to engage with Iris about the whereabouts of the skater, Iris remained silent, strongly suggesting that he might indeed have some prior knowledge about the skater, but was unwilling to divulge this information at that moment, adding to Cube's sense of unease. Subsequently, Cube was shown to feel increasingly uncomfortable with Iris's plan to take down Circubit.

**Status:** Friends/Traveling Companions

#### **Pentellow**

Cube has shown to be in a good relationship with Pentellow, after placing a significant amount of trust in her. When Orange and Pentellow's hero, Tsavorite healed his hero, Cyan, Cube then expresses his gratitude towards Pentellow for her assistance, which he has done since Season 1, Episode 3.

    Cube values Pentellow's advice and guidance, describing her as an empathetic and compassionate shape. Towards the end of the episode, Pentellow, together with Iris, acknowledges Cube's concerns about how to properly care for his hero, Cyan. She and Iris offer support to Cube, providing him with a comforting presence. Pentellow shares with him how he shares similar experiences with Pyrare, another caretaker who has undergone comparable struggles. Cube responds positively to Pentellow's words, demonstrating a sense of acceptance and understanding.

**Status:** Good Friends/Traveling Companions

#### **Pyrare**

> "He's really nice..."
>
> Cube mentioning to Cintagon that Pyrare is a really friendly and harmless monster shape in Season 1, Episode 5.

Since Season 1, Cube had developed a good relationship with Pyrare, which he describes as a very nice monster shape, confirmed in Season 1, Episode 5. Initially, Cube and his hero, Cyan, were frightened of Pyrare when they first met him. Pyrare's presence rendered Cube unresponsive and uncommunicative being frozen in fear, but he swiftly recognized Pyrare as a friendly monster shape. Cube is seen enjoying every time being carried by Pyrare with the others while traveling with the others across Paradise.

Cube remained inquisitive about Pyrare's background, seeking additional information concerning how Dub had created the Pink Corruption Virus with his son, Barracuda. Unfortunately, Pyrare informed Cube that he did not possess this information, indicating his lack of knowledge regarding the virus's origins.

Cube occasionally impresses Pyrare with his feats such as his skills in fighting, as evidenced by his defeat of Lycanthropy with Iris, Orange, and his hero, Cyan which drew applause from Pyrare after the battle. However, Cube's actions and behavior can sometimes leave Pyrare feeling dissatisfied and uneasy. For example, when Cube violently defeats Acrilimus to save his hero, Pyrare somewhat approves of Cube's performance. Nevertheless, he also advises Cube to consider a more pacifistic approach when dealing with corrupts in the future, noting that they are not responsible for their infection, as seen in Season 1, Episode 8.

As verified by Pentellow, Cube shares many similarities with Pyrare, particularly in their respective struggles to care for their heroes, Cyan and Gold. In the Season 1 finale, Cube was able to deepen his relationship with Pyrare during a conversation they had, where they discussed their shared experiences as caretakers. They bonded over the arduous but fulfilling nature of their work.

**Status:** Good Friends/Traveling Companions

#### **Tsavorite**

Cube occasionally interacts with Tsavorite but Cube does appreciate Tsavorite's helpfulness and assistance for him.

#### **Squadril**

Despite having minimal interactions with Squadril, Cube was able to capture his attention, along with Marcle, when he introduced himself and informed them that he and his companions were caretakers who had offered to assist with their previous encounter with Lycanthropy in the Poly Forest. This intrigued Squadril, who invited Cube and his companions to a meeting to further discuss the matter.

Later in the episode, Cube is aware of Squadril noticing his infected spot, prompting him to advise Squadril to take extra precautions before parting ways to search for the leader of the Chipzel group, Purpex and Lycanthropy in two different groups.

### **The Bossfight Group**

#### **Cintagon**

In Season 1 Episode 5, Cube starts to form a bond with Cintagon after helping him with the rest of his friends, saving his duo partner, Commando Circumsphere from being corrupted. When Cintagon froze in fear when he noticed Pyrare in front of him, Cube immediately tells him that Pyrare isn't an evil monster by any means, making Cintagon feel completely relieved afterward.

While looking for Ajaceare, Cube starts to become seemingly anxious that Cintagon noticed him being semi-infected with the Pink Corruption virus, giving him a big scare. However, Cube's trust in Cintagon was almost left unchanged after Iris told him that he was keeping a close eye on him and was ready to help.

**Status:** Friends

### **The Danimal Cannon Group**

#### **Quintagon**

Cube has been best friends with Lythorus since childhood. Before the first Pink Corruption virus outbreak started, in the Gift Giving short, both were celebrating Christmas together and exchanging gifts (Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch), showing their affection for each other.

Cube still cares about Lythorus's well-being even though Lythorus is still currently corrupted. In Season 1, Episode 4, Cube chooses to defeat Lycanthropy without harming Lythorus, showing his commitment to pacifism.

### **Cubic**

> ...He's scary. But annoying..!
>
> Cube talks about finding Cubic to be in The Pink Corruption QnA Part 1 video.

In The Pink Corruption QnA (Part 1-2) videos, Cube confirms that he finds Cubic to be a vexing and intimidating figure, given their frequent clashes throughout the series. From their initial confrontation,

Cu

Cube harbors doubts about their relationship, but he acknowledges commonalities between them, such as their shared controllable weapons. Cubic then provokes Cube with taunts about his misgivings as a caretaker and his bond with his hero, Cyan, which elicits an angry response from Cube. Cubic cryptically suggests that Cube's bond with Cyan will grant him greater control over his body, which causes Cube out of anger to punch before waking up from control.

Cube remains aware of and seemingly perturbed by Cubic's warning to him about him growing stronger through Cube's bond with Cyan. Whenever Cube recalls Cubic's caution about it, he experiences a sense of anxiety. However, he eventually dismisses these disquieting thoughts about the warning.

Upon the arrival of the Family Search Arc, Cube alongside his hero, Cyan finally mustered enough courage to finally start fighting Cubic to prevent further harm to himself and his friends. However, Cube's impulsiveness impedes his ability to defeat Cubic, resulting in his re-infection in the process.

### **Dub**

> "The one thing that still puzzles me now is how Dub created the virus...?"
>
> Cube is questioned himself about how Dub actually created the virus in the opening scene of Season 1, Episode 5.

As a caretaker, Cube knows that Dub is one of the biggest threats in the whole series because of him being one of the characters responsible for creating the Pink Corruption Virus and has to stop him alongside with the other caretakers and heroes with him.

Upon hearing more about Dub's backstory since Season 1, Episode 5, Cube starts to feel rather sympathetic towards him because of his past of being once a friendly monster shape before becoming evil, even though Cube most likely doesn't forgive for his villainous actions he has caused since the First Pink Corruption outbreak. However, Cube still questions how Dub actually created the virus with Barracuda in the first place.

**Status:** Enemies

Cube was unaware that he was being watched by Lycanthropy because of his mission on killing him and his hero, Cyan.
