Sugar describes the rest of the season as, a roller coaster that is rocketing forward.

He leads the Off Color Gems while wearing an outfit lovingly inspired by Captain Harlock.

Is the team afraid of making the show darker?

Im always excited to be more and more ambitious with the stories that were telling, says Sugar.

I was just like oh this is really, this is really bad.

Anyway, I cant put batteries in it anymore but I can plug it in and it still works.
