Who would have thought that "values the lives of humans" would be a such a rare character trait in a show like Steven Universe? Also, I didn't mention it in the episode, but remember "The Test" way back in season 1? Seems like there's also evidence of the Crystal Gems (especially Rose's #1, Pearl) resorting to rather dishonest means to inspire hope in their soldiers. Just something to think about :) Hope you all enjoyed this week's episode!
if I remember correctly way of selecting pairs by pink diamond is not wrong, in the days of her reign (about six thousand years ago) creation of relationships by someone else was something common. especially when P. D. had to resolve the problem of inbreeding.
Nieznajomy43 That's actually a pretty good point! But it still raises the question of why Pink Diamond was so interested in maintaining the population of humans in the first place
Sandwichy I feel like Rose and Pink Diamond's relationship is like Anakin and Obi Wan's from Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Both were fighting on the same side, but one became evil and the other had NO CHOICE but to destroy the bad one before more harm is done
GARNET SAID SHE DID IT! Sure, Garnet may tell a lie, but by doing so she made Steven believed his mother is a murder. Would it be better if she told him that Rose didn't shatter Pink Diamond? What does she have to lose?
1 year later, we found out that *spoiler* pink diamond is actually rose quartz and that pearl shape shifted into rose and poofer her, just to reform as rose quartz
That doesn't make sense. Fusions borrows shades or mixes the colors or the original gems. Howevery mixing blue, pink and yellow would give you an orangy brown color.
Eyeball said that she remembers rose quartz and her sword, and how she shattered her with it, however, Bismuth clearly stated that her sword was made to cut through the physical form of gems, but could not shatter the gem. I do think this helps the idea that Pink Diamond was in on the rebellion and that she, Rose and maybe even Pearl planned a diversion to help Pink diamond break free of the authority.
I don't think Pink Diamond was shattered. Eyeball stated that Rose used her sword to shatter PD but Bismuth told Steven that Roses swords blade was designed to destroy the physical projection but not scratch the gem core. So I agree, PD and Rose faked PDs shattering to inspire courage in the Crystal Gems rebellion and to put fear into Homeworld gems and diamonds.
Maybe, but if gems could be shattered with just the hilt or blade of a weapon why would bismuth need to create the breaking point. If it takes the breaking point to shatter a normal gem I think it would be impossible to use any part of roses sword to shatter pink diamond.
Dreamer Dawn umm eyeball never said that rose shattered pink diamond with her sword she said she remembers her sword she didn't say she used it to shatter her besides its not hard to shatter a gem
I think Pink Diamond Was the youngest diamond (or the last made), blue and yellow are twins (made at the same time) and White is the oldest, seeing as how pink was the most innocent somewhat like a naive child, Blue and yellow have the most interaction. and white has the most planets, and she doesn't really hang around blue and yellow. As the oldest tend to be a busiest.
Tai true that might can be a thing because evry other diamond has so many planets en pink diamond has only 2 of them (the moon en earth) i think blue en pink diamond are olmost the same age let me say it like this pink diamond is 18 en blue diamond is err 23? so their connection was like sisters
Sandwichy you let me make a difference A place where orphan immigrants can leave their fingerprints Rise up I'm running out of time I'm running, and my times up. Wise up.. eyes up
IM TRYIN NOT TO BE RUDE BUT YOU GOT THE LYRIC WRONG I'm a huge piece of HamilTrash who cannot be destroyed by even the strongest incinerator.. I can detect a wrong lyric from 100 ft. away and recite most Hamilton lyrics accurately from memory
Rose Quartz Laurens leads a soldiers' chorus on the other side My son is on the other side,he's with my mother on the other side Washington is watching from the other side!
PINK DIAMOND: shattered by rose is pink may have owned pearl name is cannon owned the least colonies owned earth and its moon WHITE DIAMOND: name is uncannon is white owned the most
Lagoleth true its might bc of this: look at how many planets she has to take care of just to think how many gems she has 2 en she cant stick around en have a connection with the others
Sometimes the show has its way in steering a different path that is very possible and still has its way in surprising us, although some may have speculated something similar a lot but definitely not of the majority...
here's something to think about, Pearl's reaction to Ruby saying that Rose shattered Pink Diamond could mean that Pearl shape shifted into Rose to shatter PD and realized she made a mistake, hence her never shape shifting again
And maybe Greg is a hotdog...created by Ronaldo who is actually a sapphire and all along the real title of the show should be called *Ronald Mcdonalds rotten universe of gay celestial spacerocks and doritos in disguise as Mayor Dewey* so obviously RICK ROSE ROSS is actually a time god that hates *BOB THE TERRAFORMER* a.k.a Lapis.....................end me
My question is what is the orgin of all gems? Gems are made through a machine that plants them in the earth where they incubate and absorb all organic matter to a certain radius how can diamonds be made if there is no other gem to make them In the first place?? Did the diamonds evolved in a more natural state? Or where they created by an entirely different species, then them rebelling getting there own system?
In my head-cannon I say they were made by the Great Beings from BIONICLE. The Matoran (the Great Beings most prized creation) and sister species share a lot of similarities with gems, and while it was never outright stated it was hinted the Great Beings created more life then just the Matoran Universe. BIONICLE and SU also have a lot of similarities story structure and value wise, and while that may have little to do with in-universe events it wouldn't be to surprising if Rebecca Sugar took some influence.
Actually Pearl shattered Pink Diamond, don't believe me, well here's some evidence. We know that rubies aren't the smartest and we see them easily get fooled by shape-shifting, and Eyeball says that she saw Pink get shattered with her own eyes, um, eye, so if Pearl shape-shifted into Rose then Eyeball could have easily gotten fooled thinking Pearl was Rose, and Pearl doesn't shape-shift at all in the whole series because it reminds her of what she did to Pink Diamond. Also Pearl belonged to White Diamond not just because she has white skin and the same gemstone placement as White, but also in "The Answer" Pearl has white hair and has pink hair for the rest of the series, and we see that a Gem's clothing color changes based on what Diamond they serve, in Steven Bomb 5 we see Amethysts, Jaspers and other Quartz Gems that all have blue uniforms because they all serve Blue Diamond, and if Pearl served White Diamond then that explains why she has white hair, and when she reforms later on she gets pink hair because she's part of the crystal gems and the leader of the crystal gems is Rose who is pink.
Calder Worthington Just because pearl is white doesn't mean she served White Diamond. It has been said that aristocratic gems/gem nobles get diamonds. She could've been any body's pearl.
Kawaii Neo, what they get diamonds? Also I didn't just say the skin color, I also said her gemstone placement and her hair color. Blue Pearl and Yellow Pearl both have matching gem placements to their Diamonds, Pearl also matches White Diamond.
Calder Worthington Why do people only mention the Rubies? Blue Diamond saw her get shattered with her own eyes, can Blue be easily tricked? Garnet confirmed it. Jasper has too. So have Yellow Diamond and Pearl.
Calder Worthington Even tho Pearl would have shape shifted she wouldn t be able to change color. And putting blame on Rose looks nothing like Pearl. Plus Rose sure did some regrettable things in the past. Why not shattering a diamond ?
so when yellow diamond says "so there's still time" after asking about the state of the cluster, i have inferred that yellow might launch a harvesting campaign of humans for the zoo(s) since blue said the window of opportunity was closing , also imagine alternate planets with humans , thinking they are the original
4:31 the pic. what i see is rose trying to protect pink diamond. but before she had a chance to bubble her, yellow diamond blasted her powers at her causing pink to shatter. since the dust was making it hard to see bc of the blast, yellow waited till it cleared just to blame rose. she couldnt live with the guilt so she wants every trace of her gone.
Hanlin Riddle they didn't forget well I don't know but it didn't show them picking them up or going back to earth showing the earth so yeah they could have or not I dunno btw. U will be broken. JK🤗😜
Also Garnet said Pink Diamond took humans away from their family's, if she really cared about them she would of kept them together also why would you have your solder kill you to make a point when you can just fight with her in the rebellion? it just makes no sense.
arai schmidt baby but I doubt Rose would allow that in fact I doubt Rose would let her take humans into a zoo in the first place. also that still doesn't answer the second part of my argument, why would you kill your most powerful Warrior especially if it's the person who starts at all.
The Invisible Mare They killed her to show that diamonds aren't gods, they are simply like other gems. They aren't immortal and can be shattered. It's to give a message to the other diamonds, that gems are stronger than they think. And that even a little group of rebels can win against their army.
I feel like this falls apart when you remember that Pink Diamond played basically 'hunger games' with her captive humans. Like she just kept them bc they were objects and toys to her, they were trivial to her.
Important information you missed out. The Sword is the thing that supposedly shattered PD. However, the Sword was designed to poof a gem without damaging the gem. Now it could mean she poofed then shattered, that might be easy, but it's something to think about, it feels like it goes against the character to have done that.
After this I think that Pink Diamond started the rebellion, she asked Rose Quartz to help her fake her own shattering, and Rose Quartz agreed. The rest just came to be in gem conspiracy.
Didn't bismuth say that the breaking point could shatter diamonds..? "[...] I would have brought the war to homeworld and SHATTERED the diamonds.. I would have liberated everyone."
"That's more of a Pinkish Red then a real Rose Quart Redish Pink" Wasn't that completley obvious that Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz were the same? Or atleast a hint?
I think that Pearl shape-shifted into Rose Quarts, and she was the one that shattered Pink Diamond. The reason I think this is true is because of how Pearl reacts when Ruby mentions she saw "Rose Shatter Pink Diamond" and because Pearl also doesn't like to shape-shift. Perhaps she saw the opportunity and decided to look like rose to inspire the troops, or perhaps she wanted to truly be free from Pink Diamond while still making Rose seem like the leader. That's my idea of what happened, but who knows.
I like how Bismuth also makes mention how special Rose's sword was in being able to poof gems. If you see your soldiers vanish with a single slice, in your panic would you not assume they were destroyed?
Chicago's Adler Planetarium has some Art Deco representations of the 8 planets designed by Alfonso Iannelli that were probably the inspiration for the diamond authority murals.
It makes a whole lot of sense that Pink Diamond was possibly an overcooked diamond and was the shortest of the three to get Earth and its moon. If she knew what her "sisters" were planning, Pink didn't want to be a part of it since she cared for the humans and all life on that planet and wouldn't want all of them to die, since she couldn't gather every single one, she made another plan to secretly rebel against the diamonds with Rose Quartz, so she was the first gem to care that all life on Earth mattered. Also I remember in the very first episode of SU called Gem Glow, Steven sang a song about Cookie Cat, saying he was a refugee during an interstellar war, leaving his home planet and family behind crying tears, BOTH of the eyes and tears were PINK and WHITE. Did that song foreshadow Pink Diamond leaving Homeworld and the three diamonds during the Crystal Gem Rebellion she secretly created behind their backs and was afraid of being found out? Also the song Love Like You was actually sung by Pink Diamond (Rebecca Sugar) that was for Rose and she wanted to learn how to love like her Rose Quartz. And that Pink always thought she might be bad and she guessed that its true, and she must've entrusted Rose to carry out what she began. The shattering of her was possibly planned out, everyone thinks she's gone, maybe she might've been poofed by Roses sword that destroys the body but never the gem. She could be in Lion's mane where that locked chest is.
I know several fans who would love to see Jasper return, and even join the Crystal Gems, though it would be unlikely given how she feels about Pink Diamond. If she does turn out to be part of the CGs, I wonder what her reaction would be?
I think that rose never really shattered pink diamond and just destroyed her physical form, but put her gem in the lion world treasure chest. Not 100% sure why she would do that, but obviously something important is in that chest.
Pink Diamond was a child. From her mural you can see that she is playfully holding her one colony and is plainly dressed like she's trying to find her identity. She would obey her elders but still try and preserve what was best about Earth. I think this will be the big reveal that Rose Quartz killed a child and it is hard if not impossible to justify that.
What if White Diamond and Yellow Diamond actually shattered Pink Diamond? Since Gems can shapeshifter, maybe one of them shifted into Rose. It could be plausible, but probably not. I mean if Pink Diamond was slowly becoming more sympathetic, then the two main Diamond authorities would want to put a stop to it right. And Blue Diamond, since she is under White and Yellow in terms of rank, would not know what happened. All she would see s Rose shattering her sister. Please don't attack me. It was just a thought I had since White Diamond is still M.I.A and Yellow Diamond looks as though she'd shatter her own sister if it meant starting a war for power.
You would tell the difference... Yes Gems can Shapeshift, but they cant change their Color. So the Rose would be either white or yellow. And tbh I think YDs feelings during her "feeling blue" song where real....wich would not fit if she shattert her herself.
Calhaora Lightsbane you raise a valid point. I forgot about the Gems and Diamonds retaining their original color. Thank you for the insight. Very much appreciated.
Kentucky wildcat is right because when amythest shape shifted into jasper the rubies were easily fooled so yellow Dimond or blue Dimond could've shapeshifted into rose quartz and eyeball the ruby couldn't have seen that it was rose quartz who shattered pink Dimond because if they got fooled when amythest shapeshifted into jasper then how would they have known that it was rose quartz because the ruby couldn't see the colour properly.
So Rose wasn't rebelling against Pink Diamond trying to destory Earth, she was rebelling against Yellow, Blue, and White Diamond trying to destory it. Maybe.
this theory is really good but there is one flaw Why would rose leader of the rebelion shatter someone who supporting her rebellion? Edit: also why would they shatter a diamond there practially God compared to ur average quartz also if Pink Diamond did work for the rebellion why is one of her members from her court (jasper) hate the rebbellion if she is a part of it. also why would the diamonds be sad if a diamond that betrayed them got shattered (even if she is family they shouldn't be crying).
they said it was to make a point/to scare Homworld BUT Garnet said Pink Diamond took humans away from their family's, if she really cared about them she would of kept them together also why would you have your solder kill you to make a point when you can just fight with her in the rebellion? it just makes no sense.
The Invisible Mare she didn't keep them with their families because she didn't know what a family was, she had little to no knowledge about humans, so it would make sense that she didn't take them all.
Randy Lawson if that's true I highly doubt that Rose would allow that in fact I doubt Rose would allow a human zoo in the first place. also that still doesn't answer my question about why would she have Rose kill her to make a point when she can just fight alongside rose with her immense power.
I love the outro❤❤❤it's based off of cartoon network's "outro" right? Idk i haven't been busy watching cartoons lately, but I still really enjoy your videos!
Okay 2 things 1. I looooove this channel!!! 2. I noticed yellow diamond is holding two stars in her portrait unlike the other diamonds. So what does that mean for her? Does she have colonies on some form of star like a random sun somewhere or does she have two entire star systems to herself? And if she does, does that mean she has more colonies than white diamond? Ugh soooo many questions I can't fit into one comment
There is one part that pretty much confirms it to be an act: the episode after Back to the Moon: "Bubbled". "Who cares about her shield? Her huge sword is what I remember." ~ Eyeball If she does indeed remember Pink Diamond being shattered, yet the only weapon she remembers of Rose is a huge sword (the one made to not shatter gems) suggest that was what shattered her. Though I think Eyeball's story contradicts the Beta Kindergarten. It was made at the halfway point of the War and Jasper has strong feelings about Pink Diamond being gone. Yet all the other Gems made on Earth were more kind. As if they knew....
The Diamonds New Plan! Blue and Yellow, in the episode That Will Be All, discuss what they can do to keep Pink Diamond's legacy. At one point, the Diamonds ask the incognito Sapphire if the Cluster has emerged (and destroyed Earth). Upon hearing that the cluster has not yet detonated, Yellow Diamond says "There is still time" and starts to formulate a plan with Blue Diamond... however the door slams before Steven (And we) get to hear about it. Blue Diamond has already admitted that keeping the humans in the zoo, and gathering new ones (Greg) makes her feel better... MY THEORY is that The Diamonds are planning to KIDNAP ALL HUMANS ON EARTH!!!! They are going to launch a massive invasion that will swarm over the planet, capturing everyone and placing them in a Mega-Ultra-Giga Zoo!!!
Home world would lose resources doing that. Why would White Diamond allow such a useless action? YD and BD are probably only going to send quartz soliders and engineers like peridot to do the work.
To quote Yellow Diamond: _"I've heard enough! I don't care about potential and resources. I want my Cluster, and I want that planet _*_to die._*_ Just make that happen."_ Once Yellow Diamond puts her mind to something, nothing will stand in her way.
Oooh. I like this theory. I haven't even thought about it until now, and it seems like a good possibility. If Pink Diamond's death (real or fake) was planned, I wonder if it was also to drive a wedge between the other diamonds. I don't think the contention we saw between Blue and Yellow Diamond was a new thing, and something like the death of Pink could either bring Yellow and Blue closer or tear them apart. Oh I can't wait to see how things unfold!
I have a feeling we're in for a pretty detailed look at the internal politics of the Diamonds sooner, rather than later :) You're right about that contention not seeming like a new thing, so now one question is... what's White Diamond's perspective? Does she completely agree with either Yellow, Blue (or Pink) or is she like the grumpy Diamond mom who sits on the fence about everything? (Also I'm still not ruling out that White Diamond could be a fusion, but that's a half baked conspiracy for another day!)
I think the way PD and rose quartz saw the humans has some pretty important differences, while Rose saw humans as equals and was even able of loving one, pink diamond saw them as interesting creatures just like we see animals
My only question is how did rose die? Ik that she died "after giving birth" but is her body still around, did she disappear, or did she slowly become baby Steven 🤷🏻♀️
A gems body is made of light so her body is gone. The real question is if she would cone back when steven dies since his body is gone and she can reform.
You missed possibly the most important detail we have 1: ruby said " her sheild? Its her huge sword I remember" 2: bismuth said very frankly that rose's sword can never shatter any gem
