it ' s dicks only , but yes <| sep |> Why would a character suddenly getting angry make them a better fighter ? If anything , it should make them worse because they become more emotional and easily manipulated into a vulnerable situation . A lot of animes tend to go over the top and settle for it just to have that mc is a badass moment when it really just makes it look childish and cliche . We didn ' t see much of Bismuth to really say that she fits that trope . We know that she ' s a really good fighter from her and Garnet ' s story about taking on three Quartz battalions . Compare her movements during the CGs sparring session and her fight with Steven . When she got angry at the forge , she lost to Steven who is more of a defensive fighter . Her anger blinded her to the fact that Steven was right beside Rose ' s sword . She put herself in a vulnerable situation . Had she kept her cool , she would have seen that sword .
