Height, pupils, the hypocritical act of fusing with Lapis. That is literally all we have here. And it's basically nothing.

People are constantly bringing up the fact that there was debate over whether Garnet was a fusion, and are making it to be a reason why Jasper could be a fusion. We had reasonable evidence for that though. There were several things hidden within the show that hinted at it. For example, the two gems on Garnet's palms. That is what started the entire theory.

What do we have with Jasper? Well, let's look at the side who believes she could be a fusion. First off, pupils. ....Come on, guys. Are visible pupils really a trait for fusions to be recognized by? We've seen Pearl's pupils in a close-up shot. From a distance, her eyes look to be a pale blue. It's really simply just the art/animation style! With fusions like Malachite and Sugilite, their appearance is intended to stand out a whole lot more. Their faces are made to look a whole lot more realistic, if you know what i'm getting at; Basically, the details are entirely more apparent so that the designs are much more breathtaking and give you a sense of awe and a little bit of fear.

Next, height. Again, come on. Jasper's tall. That could possibly be a result of her being a successfully created kingergarten gem, which is another theory. Pearl is also very tall. We see no duplicate gems on her though, and she seems pretty much to be a regular gem herself, not at all like a fusion. She plainly isn't one. Rose is even taller than Pearl. But Rose is not a fusion; she can't be a fusion. There's way too much that interferes with that. Height is not a factor of a fused gem.

Then there's the fact that Jasper "flip-flopped". She's a villain, guys. A big fat hypocrite. Stating that "fusions are only a pathetic attempt to grow stronger" was an INSULT toward Garnet, guys! THAT'S. WHAT. IT. WAS!!! She was preparing to face off towards Garnet. She wanted Garnet to feel a sense of fear, like she couldn't be beaten. She wanted Garnet to feel like she was LESS POWERFUL THAN JASPER. Jasper was hoping that the doubts that would come with her feeling less powerful would get into her head and make her fight less powerfully. Afterwards Garnet realized how really strong she was, that being a fusion with the strength of love made her far more powerful than Jasper would ever be, and she beat Jasper. Now here's the explanation of her "flip-flop". Lapis is really powerful, guys. If Lapis teamed with the Crystal Gems, Jasper, who was already beaten, would without a doubt completely lose, and possibly die. So to prevent Lapis from teaming up with the Gems, she made the last pathetic attempt to win that she could: To turn Lapis against the gems, tempt her into disliking them for how they trapped her, and out of that anger desire vengeance, fusing into this giant unstoppable thing that would surely kill the gems off and Jasper would win. Then Lapis tricked Jasper and imprisoned her instead, turning out not to be on the Gems side, nor the homeworld's side, but her own. She was tired of being a prisoner, being used, being tricked - so she turned the tables and defeated Jasper.
