Notice how Yellow Diamonds song “What’s The Use Of Feeling Blue?” has the line “An Agate terrifies”. Now remember when Amethyst attacked Jasper with a whip at first, you could see a look of surprise and maybe fear cross her face before she gathered herself. Also, looking at Peridot’s reaction when Steven rolled up a towel to resemble a whip of sorts? I love how this series has little tid bits like that.
Interestingly enough, Lemon Jade has 6 fingers on each hand, equally 12 in total. She mentioned that Jade is for 12th wedding anniversaries. Interesting design feature that may be intentional!!!
It was insinuated that Zircons(or at least, the Diamond's Zircons) could get shattered for losing a case, because Blue Zircon mentions how her "gem is on the line" Of course, this could mean her reputation, but however you want to see it.
i wonder if it's only certain cases - cases that the diamonds (or other judges if there are other gems that do this or can depending on the situation) have a bias against. for example about rose quartz shattering pink diamond, and i don't know how fair homeworld is about those stuff, especially from what we've seen in the trial zircons seem to be really careful on being at the judge good side in what they are saying so superior gems that have power over them won't hurt them
The rings in Holly's buns are a reference to the rings and patterns of real world agate. I noticed that when I put my blue agate over a flash light, as it's semi transparent the rings were hidden just like how Holly secretly wished to have been made for yellow
The Blue Zircon is one of my favorites if not the best character in the show as she is the first character to be able to analyze and conclude that there was a flaw in the story being told about Pinks shattering she was a catalyst that helped change the story and showed the audience what we should had realized for a long time, that Pinks shattering had way more to it and we don’t know the real story
@@Janpeders24 rebeca sugar confirmed that the pebbles are gems and their gems are pebbles and the one that steven created Is very different to the others, she is a rock the other ones have bodies made of light and a gem somewhere
My favourite zircon fact: it's radioactive! Very slightly, but it's still one of - to my knowledge - quite a few gems that retain a low level of radioactivity throughout their lifetimes. This means the older a zircon is, the more unstable it is and the easier it chips, as the radioactivity slowly changes the composition of the gem.
perhaps that adds some weight to the line "My gem is on the line." And the tidy tidbits we got about haravesting? What if zircons are shattered if they lose too many trials and are used to make more zircons?
I think its interesting that even though right-cheek and left-cheek are both jades, their fusion has multiple body parts. A trait we only see in different gem fusions most of the time.
One of them was either a different type of jadeite or in another court. Anything is possible in SU, even Onion being a gem or something (why no ears? there is tomfoolery afoot).
Zircons contain uranium. They can be mildy radioactive. They are also extremly durable. They are used to date some of the oldest rock formations in the world. I kind of expected it to come out that the zircons where older than the diamonds.
Holly Blue's desire for order becomes more apparent, when the Zoo is converted into a "cruise ship" of sorts. She hates seeing all the Amethysts relaxing and "showing a total lack of order" and still longs for the Diamonds oppressive rule. But even though she still doesn't seem to respect Steven in a typical sense, she knows not to speak ill of him when he's around
Blue and Yellow Zircon remind me of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney. Miles actually went through a lot himself in those games, learning his skills as a prosecutor from his abusive mentor, Manfred Von Karma, the same man who murdered his father. If Yellow Zircon is a reference to Miles Edgeworth, it wouldn't surprise me if she had a similar backstory.
I think newer quartz solders get put under Holy Blue's disciplinary hold. Its apparent on Jasper's face when Amethyst first pulls out her whip that she is surprised and frightened. Probably a pavlovian response to a whip shes probably been on the tail end before
@jacobweatherford4696 true, bit Jasper is also a willing and stubborn participant in Gem hierarchy and Holy Blue is a more noble gem. No Amethyst or Jasper would dare step out of line and disrespect Holy Blue because if anything happened to Holy they would probably be shattered for it
I don't think Yellow Zircon went through any trauma. I think she's just that stoic lawyer type that is really good a repressing their personal feelings. Lawyers are taught to separate their personal feeling when handing their clients, and this probably extends to the Diamonds as well. Since we know that Blue Diamonds power is making gems feel what she feels, if Yellow Zircon can separate herself from what Blue Diamond feels, then she wouldn't be as affected.
I really like this gem series, but would you be interested in doing one for other series? Like, there are tons of characters in Sailor Moon named after gems, such as Queen Beryl, Jadite, Nephrite, Zoicite, Kunzite, etc. I'd be interested in seeing analysis of them
Okay good! Glad I'm not the only one who was like what is this BDSM/domme nonsense when I realized Hollyblue was rocking thigh highs and a WHIP. I love her design, wish she was a bit nicer but I like that they show a former basic authority figure coping with the new Era. It helps that they put her on a ship of party people lol I'd love to have seen more of her dealing with the zoo humans and the famethysts antics and having no control and slowly being won over. Goddamn it do I need to go fanfic hunting? Really good video by the way! I love these ones about gems we didn't really get to see! Idk if this channel has talked at all about those little beetle gems, but I'd like to see that.
I am a steven universe fan but my sister won't watch it, I know she would love it but she won't let me plead my case pleas could you make a minimum spoiler video that I can show her to get her to express the joy of steven universe she lovers outhere friends and some other sounds but that's it.💍💎⭐
I think that the yellow zircon is not affected by blue's powers because she is probably in the court so much with her. You see yellow diamond not being affected because they are basically sisters and are together often. If you could relate this to blue being a judge in the court that the yellow zircon works with, then, that's why she has resistance to the power. It is like sean evans in hot ones i guess.
Could you talk about the garnets (Hessonite, pyrope and demantoid) or all the quartzes (uncorrupted, from the zoo like carnelian or from homeworld like flint and chert) or other un corrupted gems like bixbite, Orange spodumene or about the pebbles PLEASE🥺
Rose Quartz are mainly free, causing s tiny rebel symbolism in them. They also are very excellent guards to hire, as they heal gems almost perfectly! Excusing, although they are Great fighters they still have main happiness and freedom, and they also heal.
You mentioned Tanzanite and I instantly thought of my gemsona Taafeitite, whom I originally called Tanzanite. I designed her to be kinda butch, like she's a working gem. She's paired with a Beryl who gets premenitions of events happening far away from her. Together, the two make Varisite. :D
My theory of why yellow zircon not being affected heavily by blue diamonds powers, is probably because she seen different off colors gets shattered or worse.
you don't have to be traumatized to be resistant to blue. you could just not have much emotions or maybe yellow zircon just build up a shell to these type of emotions.
I really want to see an episode on the gems blue diamond lists under the name garnet! I remember her listing a bunch of gems under the garnet category. Maybe the name garnet in gem society was a name that was given by a gems status?
Her friend was shattered for breaking a rule but she did too Because she was a higher ranking gem she was let of with a warning. The other was disposable and replaced
I still think it's cool that my real name is Jade and that there in the series at all, plus some being in pink and Lemon Jade the sweet bean! You have no idea how happy I was to see them. Almost as happy to see my birthstone Ruby, being around my height!
I think Yellow Zircon's pain comes from being responsible for the deaths of who knows how many Gems. Her cocky exterior is how she copes with the crushing reality of her job.
Do all cross-gem fusions form the same way if the base gems are the same (or mostly the same) as another fusion? For example, if Rhodonite fuses with Padparadscha, will they form a Sardonyx?
Omg thank you for mentioning my almost unmentioned zodiac Sagittarius, at least someone knows it's there! I also have a turquoise birthstone and I wish it was in Steven Universe :) I am now grateful that I have that zodiac.
Can you make a video about the powers of ruby and sapphire as you have done videos about their power. This time only do it between sapphire and ruby and their powers
Do you guys remember nephrite? you know? Centi? Aka centipede. When she’s healed by yellow blue and Stephen she says nephrite then a bunch of numbers which means she is a nephrite!
Well I’m really interested to see witch zircon would be vote for on homeworld so I want to know witch one of them would win the homeworld election so witch zircon would replace the old order with a new order #zircon
does anyone know why the homeworld gems showcased in s5 and beyond are so unhuman-like compared to the other gems (excluding holly blue agate of course)?
