I'm not really sure where you're getting at in your passage Nearhza, from what I'm understanding is you don't think Jasper is a fusion because she's "always fighting". Then your piece on things are getting fusion crazy.

The show initially made it seem as if fusion was something that was only used in dire events, such as in battle. At least that's what pearl made it seem like when we were first introduced to it, however the writers made it more then that. It is no longer something used for only battle, of a subconcious choice. Now we are introduced into force fusion, gems fusion as a scared bond (such as garnet, and pearl saying it's the ulimate connection between gems).

One thing is clear though is that it was going to be a bigger part of the plot then a cool power up, ever sense garnet and amethyst fused and were unstabled the writers eased the viewers into making it something more then a power up.

If it was just a simple power up there would be no reason to make fusions unstable in the first place.

The reason why there is so many theories about jasper being a fusion without her knowlegde or somthing like a fusion is because of all the hints the show drops, with dialogue and visual cues.

We don't know how much fighting jasper has done, or if she even trains still. Jasper is a mystery besides her being a product from a kindergaten, is on homeworlds side, and clearly meant for battles (since jaspers were made in mass production and we saw a huge Jasper in sworn to the sword)

Lastly, there is really no "should have" anything. What the art directors and writers have shown us it clearly what they want us to see. The better the connection between gems, such as trust or love, the more humanoid the fusion appears. Garnet is extremely humanoid despite being a fusion because of how close ruby and sapphire are, and malchite looks like a hotmess because there is no real connection. Jasper was using the fusion as a power up and that was the result.

If the writers keep progressing with their continuity of dropping hints the jasper is something like a fusion/is one (how actual jasper's are made,the pupils she has, the force fusion at kindergarten, the gem shard like nose instead of a big crystal like the other gems possess) then I don't believe the theories are far off. I still stand by the theory unless the writers pull a 360.
