I know everyone is saying that Connie is wearing an outfit from DBZ, but…I don’t think so? I think she’s wearing a “Kalaripayattu“ outfit?
Kalaripayattu is a Martial art which originated as a style in Kerala, during the early 13th Century AD. It is considered to be one of the oldest fighting system in existence.It is now practiced in Kerala, in contiguous parts of Tamil Nadu. It was originally practiced in northern and central parts of Kerala and the Tulunadu region of Karnataka.Kalaripayattu includes strikes, kicks, grappling, preset forms, weaponry and healing methods. Northern kalaripayattu is based on elegant and flexible movements,
evasions, jumps and weapons training, while the southern “Adi Murai”
style primarily follows the hard impact based techniques with priority
on empty hand fighting and pressure point strikes. Both systems make use
of internal and external concepts. (Wiki) Normally,
kalaripayattu can be started at the age of seven, when the body is not
stiff, less chance to damage. But it can be practiced at any age under
the supervision of a well experienced master.
I think it would probably make more sense, considering Connie is Indian?? I mean, if you look at the sword Connie uses, it’s the same as the women in the picture I found via Google?? (Pearl’s sword is a rapier, btw. At least, so I believe) Also, it sorta looks like Connie is wielding a Khanda, or least a type of one?
Also Connie does a lot of Kalaripayattu type jumps and such?? Look, I’m not India, so I’m not a hundred percent sure and I could be way off, but it just seems more likely???
AND SIDE NOTE
In love with Connies hair! And that it’s actually a real hairstyle!
Steven probably told her to do it. Like she just get’s the pan out the oven like nbd and Steven’s like “*GASP!* GARNET WAIT! You have to wear these oven mits. Safety first!” Pearl: Steven, Garnet is capable of holding items of EXTREME temperatures that no mere cloth could possible protect humans fro- Garnet: *wearing the oven mits* Safety first.
Square Mom needs to set a good example for her son.
I don’t know why I’m getting so emotional here. Maybe because I miss the show ever so much. Maybe it’s the callback to the beginning of their story.
Maybe it’s because in “Laser Light Cannon” they were reliant on Rose’s power or brute force alone and look now. Look at Alexandrite’s cohesion. It continues the motif: where once she stood, they stand. Together. United.
Before, in so many ways, Rose gathered them under the shield of her being. She was their core, their greatest power. Now? Now the bond between them is their strongest weapon.
This is the sentiment I got: rather than rely on her, they now look within themselves for the strength they need.
