Steven Universe and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power are destined to go down in animation history for being two revolutionary cartoons. Both shows told enrapturing stories with diverse, fleshed-out characters, powerful themes, and memorable worlds. These shows taught their audiences the importance of loving one's self, the severity of trauma and abandonment, and that everyone has the power to change.

When it comes to the leads Steven Universe and Adora they have changed tremendously since their first appearance. They've saved the world, learned the truth about their mentors, and trained to become powerful warriors dedicated to protecting the people they love. With both shows ending this year its the right time to test to see who would win if they went up against each other. Time to see who would win in a fight: Steven Universe or She-Ra.

11 Steven: Shield

Most people think shields are only used for defense but Captain America has proven time and time again it takes a little imagination to use it for offense. Steven can use his shield as a ranged weapon capable of slicing through stone columns whenever he throws it.

As for defense, his shield managed to protect himself and the Crystal Gems from a blast straight from Jasper's ship. It's strong enough to absorb any of Adora's punches and dish out some damage too. He never has to worry about losing one since he can generate as many as he needs.

10 Adora: Sword

A shield is only good so long as its user can block an attack. However Adora's Sword of Protection has cut clean through robots, cannons, and spaceships. She's trained long enough to know how to use it effectively and if Steven isn't careful she could end the battle with one clean swipe.

That's assuming that Adora wants to end this with a fatality but if she doesn't her sword has other uses. It's capable of firing energy blasts from a distance and the force from a single swipe can change the landscape. Her sword can also turn into items like a rope, flail, and even a shield. Giving her more variety of items to use against Steven if she wanted to defend or incapacitate him.

9 Adora: Enhanced Abilities

Adora doesn't even need her sword to win this fight. Adora is strong enough to best Sea Hawk at arm-wrestling and fight robots without her sword. As She-Ra, her strength and speed are enhanced to super-human levels.

Her punches can dent tanks and she can toss Horde robots like they weigh nothing. Her reflexes improve as well allowing her to move faster and she can survive in outer space without a helmet. Steven shields are tough but he is still half-human and getting decked by Adora is going to leave a mark.

8 Steven: Bubbles

When Steven can't rely on his shields to protect him he always has his bubbles. His bubbles are strong enough to withstand crashing ships, the vacuum of space, and the bottom of the ocean. The worst She-Ra can do is make him dizzy from knocking him around like a pinball. If needed he can change his bubbles and give them spikes.

His fight with Spinel has also shown he can create makeshift boxing gloves with his bubbles if he needs to use his fists. This is one bubble that She-Ra won't be able to burst.

7 Steven: Leaping and Floating

Among the many skills Steven inherited from his mother is the ability to leap great bounds like a certain Kryptonian. He can also control the speed of his descent for a safer landing and in some cases float in the air. Giving him the advantage of remaining out of reach and attacking from a distance.

If he can stay on the defensive long enough to exhaust Adora then he can drop in and deal the finishing blow. He can also give chase if she tries to make a tactical treat. Which is unlikely since Adora is the fearless type who prefers to attack her enemies head-on but he would be prepared.

6 Adora: Swift Wind

Adora may not have be fit for aerial combat but her trusty steed Swift Wind is up for the job. No matter where Steven jumps or how high he goes the pegasus will follow. Adora can mount and dismount whenever she pleases so she isn't restricted to staying with him the entire fight and her their bond will allow Swift Wind to find her wherever she needs him.

There is the issue of Steven attacking Swift Wind but even in a fight, this is still Steven we're talking about. He would never intentionally harm such a majestic, albeit chatty, creature. If anything he might get distracted and Adora will get a few hits in.

5 Adora: Horde Training

She-Ra does make Adora incredibly powerful but it isn't the reason she is such a fierce combatant. While serving the Horde, Adora was trained from a young age to hone her combat skills. Right before she defected Adora was at the top of her class destroying robots with only a bo staff.

Once she joined the Princess Alliance she got to put her skills to use and gained experience fighting enemy forces. She was trained for war and has taken out squads of Horde soldiers single-handedly. That's more than enough to handle a cutie pie like Steven Universe.

4 Steven: Gem Training

She's not the only one to receive battle training. While the Crystal Gems weren't the perfect parental figures they did their best to train Steven to control his powers. Pearl might have helped the most by training Steven and Connie in the art of combat.

Steven picked up most of his skills on missions but his greatest teacher was arguably Jasper. She was the first to trigger his pink powers and taught him how to hone them. Her tough love training helped him become a fighter and coaxed him into unleashing his greatest abilities.

3 Steven: Diamond Powers

Rose Quartz left Steven with a lot of issues for him to fix but she also handed her abilities as Pink Diamond down to him. Not only does he have healing spit but his body can repair itself the moment he sustains a serious injury like broken bones.

Whenever he gets emotional Steven turns pink and taps into his diamond ability to slow time down. He tends to lose control of himself but at the same time, he stops holding back like when he went full force on Jasper and shattered her. Pink Steven could overwhelm and obliterate She-Ra if given the chance.

2 Adora: Better Control Of Powers

The question isn't whether Steven can defeat She-Ra by tapping into his diamond powers but if he will. The last time he used them he lost control and shattered Jasper. There is no way he could walk away from that without being mentally scarred for life.

He might be getting therapy but that doesn't mean the problem will be resolved overnight. After nearly killing Jasper, he would be too scared to let that side of him loose. Adora does not have to worry about losing control of She-Ra. She is in complete control and isn't afraid to use them.

1 Winner: Adora

This was a tough match to decide. Steven may have a better power set but he isn't in the best mental state. If the two ever came to blows it would be a close match. She-Ra might get Steven riled up to the point of him turning pink. However, if this ends up like in "Mindful Education" he'd likely have a panic attack as soon as he turns pink. Knowing Adora she wouldn't finish him off but instead try and comfort him until he calms down.

By then she would be declared the winner. Unless new content is released showing Steven overcoming his trauma and stably using his pink form, this is the most likely outcome.
