Opal & Her Symbolism Explained! | Steven Universe 

In my opinion, I think that Opal is so forgetful because she is mostly only focused on keeping her fusion stable. If the slightest things slips out of her hand (literally and metaphorically) you loses that balance and unfuses

Since pearl has sand manipulation and amethyst has fire manipulation, wouldn’t it be cool if opal had glass manipulation?

Opal is formed underwater, like Pearls, and rich in silicon, like Amethysts

Opal looks like an EXTREMELY down to earth yoga instructor

It's probably due to Aimee Mann's singing, but she seems to project this wonderful warmth.

Also! If you watch the animated shorts that were with dove, in one of the shorts opal is constantly asking what her next line was. (Following that she is forgetful) :>

Opal is one of my all time favorite gem fusions in Steven Universe.

I just realized that the 3 main crystal gems (Amethyst, Garnet, and Pearl) each represent a different position of time. Pearl represents the past with her always reminiscing about her time with Rose, Amethyst represents the present with her living in the present, and Garnet represents the future with her future vision.

I love how Steven Universe treats Gem’s extra body parts as completely functional and with purpose. They don’t look out of place when Opal uses her four arms to shoot an arrow.

*[All i wanna do... is turn myself into... a giant woman...]*

I know its 5 days later since the initial upload so this probably won't get noticed but a fun fact about Opal is that it breaks down if it is not maintained with a certain level of salt contact (which is why people encourage people to rub their opal from the salt that is on their hands) this is also symbolic of our fusion Opal as she needs a certain amount of cooperation from Amethyst and Pearl in order to maintain herself

Steven Universe is an essay made up of metaphors in the shape of a story. Thesis: "If every porkchop was perfect: we wouldn't have hot dogs." Conclusion: "I don't need you to respect me I respect me, I don't need you to love I love me but I want you to you can know you can know me is you change your mind. If you change your mind. If you change your mind. If you change your mind. Change your mind."

The hindu divinity she is ressemibling of would be Parvati, the charitative form of the consort of Siva, rather than Kali, the terrifying aspect of her. Shinato also makes sense, since it is based on Shinatobe, a heavenly deity (like, the place we see Opal first is in "Heaven Mountain") from Japan, and is summoned by ritual in the game. Another inspirational divinity would be Artemis, the greek goddess of the moon and hunt (since Opal has its white pallor, and she is also armed with a bow and arrows). Excellent video, she's ever been one of my top faves from the show

The actors of Steg and Opal have a band! Explains the voice sync Edit: WOW TYSM FOR LIKES THE MOST I EVER GOT BEFORE WAS 5

It’s a damn shame that during the series Pearl and Amethyst didn’t get along as well and had a hard time cooperating without Garnet. Makes you think how many times we could’ve seen Opal throughout the show. Like when they fused like nothing in front of the diamonds. Their relationship grew so much as the series ended. I’m glad we got to see her again in the movie. And in future but she shape shifted.

I love opal gemstones and I was always told growing up that unless it was your birthstone(or a 14th anniversary gift) you couldn't wear one as it would invite death into the family (so I'm glad my birthday is I October 😁)

You all realize that Pearl and Amethyst hasn’t argued for sometime

I like how since Pearl and Amethyst need to be at "Peace" with each other to be Opal it causes Opal to be one of the most calmest fusion we know since even a little bit being out of touch would just unfuse her

Opal is one of my all time favorite fusions from Steven Universe! She is so cool! I wish we could see her more often!

Opal barely appears in the series 😂 and it shows bc they showed quite literally every clip/appearance of her 😂

Do Sardonyx next

Amethsyt and opal 1:07 had me gone for a minute

I'LL SAY THIS EVERY TIME I WATCH ONE OF THESE: IF GEMSTONES ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP WITH EMOTIONAL BALANCE, WHY DO I CRY WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT STEVEN UNIVERSE

she's one of the most underrated Fusion ever.

If anybody in the comments is reading list if you want to try and make your own jem you should go to this game called gemstone maker

I’d love to see more of Opal in the show, she’s beautiful 💙

Do Bluebird Azurite next please.

My personal favorite fusion. Involving two of the crystal gems.

The funny thing about opal is that it’s the most fragile of all the gemstones

I never even thought about the connections between Opal and Shinato. And you described ritual summoninf pretty well Kris

The reason Pearl and Amethyst can't stay fused for long is because if Opal existed too long, her beutiful voice would serenade everyone and cause a love-pocolypse

If you say “standard set of gem abilities” one more time, I will go insane!

I love how mysterious Opal is

Steven has a specific type.

I think pearl, just like sugilite and sardonyx loves to show off to Steven and definitely gives off big sister vibes in a way! She live in the moment with Steven and have fun with him, do all the stuff he like like riding roller coasters etc… like amethyst often does but is careful and focused like pearl! The perfect stablely unstable fusion!

I always found it funny how garnet is bigger then most gems as a fusion between ruby and sapphire but then gets dwarfed by most the two gem fusions.

Opal is my birthstone and also happens to be my favorite fusion next to Garnet and Rainbow Quartz

We need an episode where Steven and Opal fuse and they are voiced by an Aussie because Opal is Australias national gem and Mary Poppins was written by another Aussie

Opal is one of my favorite fusions I love her hair and all her powers

It was fun to see Opal singing back some of Steven's song. Opal: (chuckles) all you wanna do, is see turn into.

7:17-7:20 I've heard that too, but it's not bad if you buy and Opal for yourself ONLY if your birthday is in October.

She’s probably my fav fusion.

Can't wait to see Obsidian explained.

no one: people giving presents on somebody's 14th wedding anniversary: here have a death stone

Reason why I love opal 1) she adorable 2) she my birthstone

Hope we can soon get a video on gems and mental disorders comparisons

I may be fairly late, but would you rather spend a day with Amethyst, Pearl, or both of them as Opal (none of them is an option, too) and what would you do?

Opal had more Lakshmi vibes than Kali. Sugilite, is faaaar more Kali energy! Pearl: you’re just too much!!! Sugilite: Maybe you’re just too little!!

Libras are diplomatic My sister walks in kitchen: how do I look Me : you look horrible

Opal is one of my fave fusions from steven :)

I think pearl, just like sugilite and sardonyx loves to show off to Steven and definitely gives off big sister vibes in a way! She live in the moment with Steven and have fun with him, do all the stuff he like like riding roller coasters etc… like amethyst often does but is careful and focused like pearl

All I wanna see is turn into a giant woman a giant woman all I wanna see is turn into a giant woman a giant woman

My dnd character is called opal and her color scheme is similar to opals (from Steven universe) and her hair is the same too but the ponytail is a bit smaller

the mistake in "pearl and opal" makes me wonder what would happen if two pearls fused with amythest

Honestly, Opal is my favorite fusion.

Is it weird that I take "see you space cowboy" as a personal message. Yeah I thought so too 🤣😂

I just wanna ad that in France, close to where I live, there's a place named "The opal cost", supposedly because the sand is close to the gem color

Who else tought that opal had purple skin?

Do a video about Hessonite or Prism from Steven universe Light

Have you ever heard of Fire Opal? I think it would've been made by a Jasper and Carnelian

I was impatient about this video *-*

Ah! I love to see Kriss's ever-changing outfits!

“Ill never stop making videos about these space rocks” 1 year later *stops*

Can you PLEASE do Sugilite next?

At about 1:00 they say Steven trys to make amaypheyst and opal fuse lol

all i wanna do is see you make an *opal vid *The giant woman

dont over sell this to me cris.. i love it so much

I really wanna see sardonyx next

5:18 that doesn’t look much like a symbol of peace

You said " while on a mission to the sky spire steven encourages amethyst and opal to fuse" I am confused

Thanks Nerdwire for making this video - Opal is my favorite fusion!!! :D

*[you'll be broken for this!!!....]*

Sardonyx next?

As a Yugioh expert I can tell there are fusion cards it was really a missed opportunity for steven universe’s creators that they pronounce made a fusion based of a ritual card interview of a fusion card

Anyone notice opal got new forms

Oooooh! My birthday is on October 5. Cool!

Chris: Opal has blue skin Me: *lilaaaac*

Opal is so pretty (the gem and the character)

Wait is stevvione basically a half fusion since they say fusions have more body parts

U forgot Slovakia we have opal mines, the biggest in the EU but because of hard rocks it is easier to mine them in other countries

The Great Opal rant with Producer Brett!

Sardonix and Lemon-Jade should have videos!

Opal is my favorite fusion as well Rainbow Quartz

I love this series u do so well making it

Opal look like final fantasy shiva. Why don’t I hear more of this

I've been binge watching these

Thats my birthstone finnaly you made it

Opal my fav fusion

I love Opal she is totally my #1 favorite fusion.

GIANT WOMAN!!! 😁😁😁

Opal is precious

5:24 Oh. No wonder why I confuse that sign with the sign for nazis 😆

Opals are formed underwater, like pearl, like amethyst, Opals have silicon dioxide

I don’t know what, but something about Opal reminds me of Rosalina, from Super Mario Galaxy

HOW DID I NOT KNOW OPAL WAS VOICED BY AIMEE MANN

4:10 "gianter women!"

*GIANTER WOMEN* Spat out my fiji 💀💀

Shinato from yugioh is based on the God of wind Fūjin which also goes by the name Shinatobe. I don't think it's a good comparision for Opal. I think Opal is more of a reference to Artemis the Goddess of the Hunt.

Cluster arrows, that's new

Opal's arrows are pearls spears and Laksmi is actually the goddess of wealth
