I still wish that Nephrite had gotten at least one short conversation with Steven after she was healed.

@nolangerrans6083 4 года назад

Yeah, what I think is crazy is she was never even shown outside the intro. We see her artwork, and several other nephritis, so it's not like they just forgot about her, but never her herself. Not even a cameo as far as I'm aware

@crimblr 4 года назад

Her only sentences were “No, No, We’re all gonna be” and the other ones

Awh, that would be so cool

@evan4292 4 года назад

She literally was only in the suf intro, not even an appearance, or anything. And she was clearly the favourite and the corrupted gem with the most attention to (jasper doesn’t count). This is very upsetting..

Wafflez E12 I feel ripped off. Would of rather had our Nephrite be the one on the plane in Guidance then once of her friends...

Same! :( I saw a piece of fanart where she comforts and helps corrupted Steven, and I was like, "Wow, wouldn't it be cool if that were canon? I mean, it makes so much sense!" And then it never happened. We never even got to check on her and see what the most adorable arthropod is up to. :(

@HellfireComms 4 года назад

It's probably that that simply could not schedule an episode for her or anything in the finale. Stuff like that happens all the time in TV shows, especially with ones that have such little budget or episode counts as Steven Universe. Cartoon Network even slashed the usual 25 episode season down to 20 recently which is why Future was 20 episodes long.

@Nechyfer6006 4 года назад

Steven’s Nephrite, which he called “Centi” was only in the opening of SUF.Not flying or air writing in a plane. Centi was different... Her hair/mane was white and her “eye” had a line going around the middle. Making it look like a Pokémon ball, but for the color! We definitely could’ve used some sort of inter-action with Centi in Future Steven! So looong Centi!! I hope u get many Chaps in ur Future!💚🖤💚🤍

@FenrirWolf203 3 года назад

Nephrite definitely should've been there when Steven was in the corrupted state, I mean, it's what she went through when at centipeetle form, it would've been a great moment for those two, like, "You didn't give up on me when I was in this state, now I can't give up on you". Also, her semi corrupted form looks really nice, like, it's the first time I saw an anthropomorphic character that wasn't based on a mammal or a bird, and it definitely was a really cool design.

Sailor Moon! Love this already. Also this gem will always be “centi” to me. A play on the word “Sentient” meaning to be able to think and feel. How hilarious would it be if our centi was the same nephrite that bismuth mentions peral pulling out of the cockpit. And finally.... can we get the other quartz/Jaspers in the next one? (Zebra, angel, cherry quartz & Ocean, Lace, & Biggs jasper.) or the three remaining pearls. Please?!

@Cookie-gw1vv 4 года назад

4:24 Stevens Transformation* not corruption. It was merely his body taking on the form he views himself as, like when he felt like he needed to be more mature and he started aging. When he viewed himself as a diamond he changed to look like one. When he viewed himself as a warrior his appearance changed to be more like a quartz soldier. And finally this, Steven didn’t say “I’m corrupted” he said “I’m a monster” Corruption and unintended shapeshifting are two different things :)

@kauske Год назад

At the end the diamond's tears, including his own, mix in the ocean and de-corrupt him. I'm fairly certain his emotional trauma corrupted him at least partially.

@josephinamungaray6118 Год назад

@@kauske i don't so. Steven turned into a monster because he utterly thought of himself as one. It's sort of like what happened in the first episode about his birthday.

@josephinamungaray6118 Год назад

I thought the same. It took everybody's reassurance to turn him back to normal.

@kauske Год назад

@@josephinamungaray6118 I mean, they literally camera focus on the diamond essence in the water, and when pink joins it he ends up glowing. I think it's supposed to be both. He's part human, part gem. It could also be an allegory for taking prescribed psychoactive medication. A hug and support of friends and family isn't always enough; and the creators took time to show that with Stephen mentioning he's getting therapy for his trauma as well.

Wonder if she still has acid spit after being healed? On the one hand, it is a superpower that makes a bit more sense for a bug monster than for a person. On the other hand, it's also a really cool and useful ability, and it would almost seem like a downgrade rather than an upgrade to take it away. Gems can shapeshift, so maybe she could get it back by changing into her corrupted form on purpose? But with all the trauma from being corrupted, I get the feeling she wouldn't feel up to it even if it was for a good reason...
