But that's just me. I could see the Crew making a reference to the odd-ball, kid-adult relationships seen these anime, InuYasha's (Rin + Sesshomaru) and Bleach's (Yachiru + Kenpachi).

While Rin does not share Sesshomaru's negative views, she respects him. He, on the other hand, 'allows' her to be around him in a frail attempt to treat her as an assistant.

When it comes to Yachiru, she and Kenpachi definitely share similar views, only Yachiru is a bit more reserved in her glee of inflicting destruction.

It is obvious that the men in these relationships care about the young girl that is around them. They are far more tolerant and patient of them, even if they try not to show it. These girls bring balance to their negativity; drawing out their compassionate and protective side. Something that others could not accomplish.

Now, offline I am pretty adamant about Jasper not getting redeemed, but as I mentioned, Onion may peak Jasper's interest in humanity. Onion's destructive and aloof nature, along with Jasper's admiration for tactics and brash personality would make for an interesting arc.

In a way an Onion + Jasper bond would be foil to Steven + Crystal Gems, or in blatant case, Garnet.
