I believe that he summons his weapon(s)/activates his gem with the will to protect the ones he love.

For example, in "Gem Glow", he wanted to preserve the Cookie Cats and keep them, so when he ate one, his gem activated and he summoned his weapon, on accident of course.

In "Bubble Buddies" and "Lion 2: The Movie", he formed the bubble over him and Connie because he wants to protect her after what she said in the bubble in the abyss ("Only my parents will notice because nobody else cares about me") and because she's his good friend and/or love interest.
