Line 193:
** ''Steven Universe Future'' has Jasper stubbornly refuse to listen to either Steven or Amethyst {{spoiler|when they try to convince her to not spend the rest of her existence on a barren piece of land training for a new war. Steven goes in the premiere to invite her to Little Homeschool but gets irritated as Jasper says that he is not her Diamond and he can't order her around. It's understandable that Jasper is hurt on learning that Pink Diamond lied and was Rose Quartz the whole time, but not-so-much that she is being a giant jerk about it to Steven, who helped undo her corruption and just wants her to be happy. Steven says as much, pointing out to Jasper that she got herself corrupted and has rebuked all offers for the Gems to help her, because she wasn't the only one that Rose deceived. Jasper only listens after he beats her in a fair sparring match, tries her best to train him to control his surging powers when he comes to her for help, and the finale has them part as friends at least}}.
** Steven calls himself out for this and represses his guilt and trauma after {{spoiler|shattering Jasper during a training bout gone wrong. It was an accident, and he quickly revives her while crying [[Tears of Remorse]] and apologizing to her, but Steven is horrified that he became even worse than his mother, because Rose only lied about shattering someone. He tries to isolate himself from his friends and go to the Diamonds for help with his spiraling, but ultimately the ensuing meltdown causes him to proclaim [[I Am a Monster]] and saying he has no reason for what he did, which leads to his corruption and turning him into Steven-zilla. To get him back, Connie realizes that Steven were handling a Corrupted Gem who couldn't be poofed, he would empathize with them. So she rallies the Gems, Diamonds, and Greg to do what Steven would do and show love for him, warts and all. Doing so allows Steven to shrink back to his human self. Even so, the finale shows that he's seeing a therapist via telecall and has to check in with them during her road trip.}}
* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'':
** Comes up frequently about Vlad Masters, and numerous characters call him out for his attitude about being Vlad Plasmius. No one denies that it was Jack's fault that he caused the accident in college that led to Vlad getting his ghost powers, as well as ghost acne, and ending up in the hospital; Jack himself acknowledges in Vlad's debut that he messed up but is confident that Vlad has forgiven him. Danny feels sorry for Vlad after learning about Plasmius, if squicked out on hearing that Vlad has the hots for his mother Maddy; Maddy has the same attitude when Vlad conspires to isolate her and Danny at his mansion in Colorado. While Vlad in the [[Bad Future]] is remorseful about what he was, an alternate timeline where Jack receives ghost powers has Danny and alternate Maddy call him out for {{spoiler|lying to Maddy about Jack wanting revenge and forbidding her from studying ghosts as a housewife. Danny even points out that Maddy isn't happy being married to Vlad, and Vlad announces that he ''doesn't care'', only that he got what he wanted.}} The Series Finale proper has {{spoiler|Vlad
** Dark Danny in the [[Bad Future]] was born from a traumatic experience, namely that {{spoiler|thanks to one mistake of Danny holding onto career test answers and using them not knowing he was busted, his family and friends get killed in a freak accident at the Nasty Burger. When Vlad at Danny's request separated his ghost half from his human half, the ghost half killed the human boy.}} Yet when Prime Danny confronts him, he says that he will never become the monster that Dark Danny is. {{spoiler|And he is right; Prime Danny fights Dark Danny with everything he has to the bitter end, which convinces Clockwork to reset the timeline, imprison Dark Danny outside the timestream, and give Prime Danny a chance to fix things. Prime Danny chooses to hand in the test answers and confess to Lancer, which prevents the freak accident.}}
** "Girls' Night Out" has the lady ghosts in the series band together after fighting with their boyfriends, including Skulker, and banish all the males from Amity Park while hypnotizing the women into loving them. Jasmine, Sam and Maddy remain immune while Jack takes Danny on a fishing trip so they remain unaffected. The trio tries to take down the ghosts, with Maddy and Sam calling out Ember for thinking that ''all'' men deserve to suffer for normal couple fights.
