## Role

He serves as the caretaker for Cyan, and he is also is a childhood friend to Lythorus. *(Reference to Lythorus)* He is quite rusty in terms of combat skills, as he said to Iris in Episode 4 *(Reference to Lycanthropy)*

## Coverage

Cube is a shape who, emphasizing his role as caretaker, likes to take care of people and things he admires. If his friends are hurt, he becomes upset to the point when he begins to cry. In Episode 1, he walked with a slouch and carefully touched the Cyan Tree to find Cyan. Initially being apathetic about becoming a caretaker, Cube was very happy to receive the new hero and made sure to keep a close watch on him at all times. At first, when in the face of danger, Cube tended to be a little cowardly. In Episode 1, he complained to Cyan why he had to come to seal Dub in the cave. If anyone other than him is in danger, Cube tries his best to help in any way he can. He is very polite and minds his manners around strangers. Cube usually has a sad expression and a tear on his right eye, but when he is very upset, like after he accidentally attacked Cyan, his left eye can develop a tear, which can be wiped away when he calms down. After being infected, Cube tends to be self-conscious around comments regarding his infected spot, usually covering up the patch when he can. When Squadril emphasized the need to be cautious to Cube, he promptly covered the infected spot with his cloak without saying a word. In Episode 5, when Ajaceare beckons Cubic to come out, Cube suddenly becomes half-corrupted, fighting Cubic for control as he attacks Cintagon, Iris, and Cyan. In the Episode 6 preview, Cyan, somehow matured, cures Cube of his infection, vanquishing Cubic.

Even though he is sensitive, Cube is a very strong shape, as he says in Episode 5. In Episode 4, he and Iris held down and sealed Lycanthropy when he tried to attack them. Also, in Episode 5, he is seen punching a hole in a huge rock, making him look tough.

## Childhood

When Cube was in his earlier days, he met Lythorus, and they became inseparable friends. When the first Pink Corruption happened, they were terrified by the large number of shapes being infected. It is seen in a flashback that the two had to spend time in a boarded-up shelter, with a horrified Cube holding up the boards, possibly preventing a corrupted shape from getting inside.

## Traits

*Traits mean what the character or Cube possesses or owns.*

### House

Cube owns the property of a huge house, but due to only one side being shown, the information will be difficult to show. The house's interior has a bedroom, a living room, a hallway, and a kitchen, because not all of the house is shown.

#### Bedroom

The bedroom has a window, inside it has the bed, a picture resembling a pink triangle and a blue music note in it, and a desk with a drawer, a lamp, and some stationary, along with what appears to be a large stack of white paper. In Episode 1, Cyan, in a desperate panic from the monster, flew into the wall underneath the window, breaking the drywall slightly.

#### Kitchen

*The kitchen is only seen on Pancake Flip.* *Go to Shorts for information.*

The kitchen has a blue counter with the cooking stove, another counter at the end of the wall, containing a plate full of pancakes with a cabinet above it. *Where's the Fridge?* Another item on the counter is a bottle with brown color, presumably to be the flavor for the pancakes, and a dish for butter. *(I see Cube is having a nice day cooking a pancake for someone else or Cyan.)*

*Below the information contains spoilers for Shorts: 4!*

#### Hallway

The hallway shows a picture of a lamp and the same picture shown in Episode 1. The other side of the wall has a staircase leading downstairs with a sofa and a stack of boxes.

#### Playroom

*It's unknown if it's part of the hallway.*

The playroom only contains the chest and unknown black figures of chairs where Cyan was hiding in.

#### House (Outside)

Due to one side of the house only shown, the information will be too hard to show.

Outside the house, there are Trees and behind the side of it, there is a mountain, the roof has a chimney. And the walls have a great design, it shows six windows and one window on the right side of the picture, it shows four lighter paint beside the windows, two lighter/larger paints on the side of the house, and it shows two, even more, larger with a margin inside it, they are located somewhere in the middle isolated.

### The Pink Corruption Virus

Because Cube used to carry Cubic so technically owns/possesses him, this counts. For information on Cubic, go here.

## Corruption

Cube, like all Shapes, can be infected. He is infected in Episode 2 when Acrilimus shoots him with a laser, infecting him. His name is Cubic when he is fully Pink. It appears that when Cube is asleep and the corruption begins to control him, he can see inside a mysterious realm known as the inside of his soul. Inside this location, there are three pillars with different shapes on them. One has squares, one has saws, and one has gears. These likely represent Cube's powers, and when Cubic steps on the water floor, the pillars can turn pink so he can use them. Additionally, Cube can see and interact with Cubic due to them being separate. Presumably, Cube's actions, like punching Cubic, happen as well in the real world, like in Episode Three, when once awakened by a terrified Cyan, one of his hands had started to crack a bubble-like shield the heroes created. In Episode 4, Cube's infection expanded out of heartbreak when seeing Lycanthropy for the first time. Lycanthropy noticed this and tried to summon Cubic. In Episode 5, Cube is half-corrupted after Ajaceare tells Cubic to "come out", forcing Iris and Cintagon out of their hiding spot with a saw blade and restraining them with his claw ability. In the new Episode 6 preview, it appears that his infection has been fully healed, which means that he is not suffering anymore. But later in the preview of Episode 7, Dub resurrects Cubic, the virus who Cube holds. Dub then tells Cubic to deal with the others while he deals with Cyan.

## Powers and abilities

At first, it seemed that Cube lacked special abilities, but in Episode Four, his powers were revealed. According to him, these powers fell under the category of weapons that the user controls. They show resemblance to the ones his corrupted form uses in Just Shapes and Beats. When using these powers, Cube's eyes change depending on the selected weapons. Additionally, he develops what appears to be blackish blushing on his face, however, it is unknown if this is only a result of a shape like him being stressed.

### Grabbing Claws

Cube can extend up to two claws at a time, the same shade of blue as his scarf and the same shape as his corrupted form. They can be used to restrain an enemy or grab projectiles. The downside to this is that if the grabbed object pulls hard enough, Cube can be dragged along with it. At some point, the claw will be detached from him and he will be forced to grab onto one of the floating nodes.

It is currently unknown if a detached claw can return to Cube, as it is not seen vanishing on-screen.

### Gears

Cube can summon gears in his hands and throw them. They can also be used to temporarily disable an enemy's hand movements.

When this power is selected, Cube's eyes become in the shape of black gears, with his tearless open left eye taking up the negative space.

### Strength

This is an ability that does not come from the Tree of Life, but rather a power unique to square/cube-shaped character that makes them stronger than most shapes, according to Lucas the Dubber. This explains how Cube was able to lift a giant rock in Episode 1 with little difficulty. This is explained by Cube in Episode 5, and later on, he uses his strength to create some gravel from a large boulder. When executing the punch, his hand glowed and created a small sonic boom over the rock.

### Saw Blades

Not often seen, but Cube can summon Saw Blades. This is evidenced by one of the pillars in Cube's soul. It is likely that Cube refrains from using this to avoid harming corrupted shapes, especially allies.

When this power is selected, his left eye turns into a spinning saw blade. This tends to be visible when Cube is half-corrupted.

## Trivia

* BreaBear Jones revealed that Cube is a male.
	+ However, in the dub, Cube has a young, feminine voice.
* Cube is only nervous when doing something tasked hard or important to do, like when he took Cyan to become a Caretaker.
* Cube can disembody himself, but as shown in Episode 2, if his body is damaged, he can't, as shown when he is "stabbed" by Acrilimus before his boss fight.
* It is assumed that Cube is a very lonely shape, which causes his sadness, and the tear in his right eye. In the Gift Giving short, he sits alone without any family or friends other than Lythorus.
* Cube, while not the first caretaker to be infected by The Pink Corruption, is the only caretaker to have been completely corrupted and half-corrupted.
* Cube is one of the only characters in the series to have broken the fourth wall, although only in a Short (Pancake Flip) by looking at the camera or the viewer's perspective. The Sun breaks the fourth wall at the very beginning of the series to welcome viewers to Paradise.
* Cube is the only caretaker to have a similar color to their hero, being light blue while his hero is Cyan. (literally).
* Cube's voice sounds like the singer from the Close to Me song.
