I still wish that Nephrite had gotten at least one short conversation with Steven after she was healed.
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
Her only sentences were “No, No, We’re all gonna be” and the other ones
Awh, that would be so cool
yall forget 4:58?
People keep saying she was the nephrite flying with Andy but that one was a different one we didn't see her except the intro 🤧
Yes the one in the plane with Andy has a different gem placement! It's not our nephrite :(
Seems like a big overlook
Glad this comment was here. Almost reminds me of when we met yellow pearl.
Pearl: Not all pearls know eachother Steven...
Ryan Foster
But our pearl did know her sooooo
Also that one was in her team soooo
@@mr.crystalflake I'm just referencing that episode and that part of the show. A funny bit almost like gem racism
Her absence from SU Future was such waste . Her character had so much potential for atleast one episode but she didnt even get a cameo. I mean come on even mr. Frowney was shown in the finale!
He was!?
@@Zapp506 yep in the final episode when the citizens of beach city wave Steven goodbye. You can see him next to mr Smiley
LadyZapp yeah I think
That's sad
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.
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. :(
That's not even her
I’m still so upset that Nephrite didn’t help out when Steven was corrupted. Not having her in SUF was a complete waste honestly.
Ikr the least they could have done was give her a small cameo to show that she's still around
@@meliodasowl9972 omggg i totally see her working in the fry post u know
Tiana R.
THANK YOU. I agree!
Like "You never treated me like a monster i'll do the same"
i wish she joined peridot bismuth and lapis
Ekhm.... Flying a plane Nephrite is just some gem, not the Centipeetle! Easy to see with gem at chest.
Yeah, it might have been one of her crew members, but it’s not her
It was a centipeedle, but not *OUR* Centipeetle
Yeah our fav cendipedle has a pokeball as an eye but the one flying has an oval at their chest.
I really wish that Nephrite was used more in SUF, I think she would have made a great subplot, and she should have at least spoke! Great video!
Not hating but everyone is saying this! It's kinda annoying now
@@bloooooopppp128 ofc we don't care. If you think nephrite doesn't deserve her own plot that's fine, but we all have our opinions too
@@aemen8796 NOOOO she should have oneeee
*[Nephrite has been one of Steven's first traumas since Gem Glow... but also one of the first gems to be fully healed from corruption. Congratulations, Centi]*
GO AWAY!!!
Nephrite was one of the most beautiful character arks in the entire show. She could’ve played such a beautiful part in the finale.
Someone get this comment pinned
Trash_panda because they watch Steven universe and comment on the vids they watch.
I see your comments on every. Single. Steven Universe. Videos.
4:51 , 5:25 You know that the Nephrite who rode the plane in Steven universe future wasnt Centi, right? She doesent really look like that... So she didnt really appear in SU Future outside of the intro :(
Netii not to mention she has a chest gem and a regular eye.
don't they all have the same name? like Ruby, Saphire and Lapis?? the only distinction they'd have like first names were their Cut, Facet & Cabochon numbers.... they didn't specify which Nephrite it was. Both Peridot and Nephrite confirmed that when specifying Which Gem they were.
@@Alusnovalotus yes but it's not centi
@@goosetoes98 ............
alus nova yes, but centi isn’t THAT nephrite. And they were talking about centi the whole episode.
Nephrite had one of the biggest impacts on Steven, she was the first to show that gems could be healed, and they never brought her back. That doesn’t sit well with me
I'm doing okay. I really wish nepherite was in future to talk to Steven even just a little bit
Glad you're hanging in there!
I agree, nephrite really should’ve had more screen time with Steven since they were kinda friends and legit never got to talk when she wasn’t corrupted
I’m so upset we never got to see more screentime with her. She was one of my favorite gems in the series :(
personally i agree that nephrite should have been there for steven during his corrupted state
4:50 She didn’t draw the Steven sky art in Future that’s a different nephrite I’m pretty sure she wasn’t in Future or the movie.
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!💚🖤💚🤍
Imagine being woken up mentally after thousands of years of being a monster then finding out that you had a bunch of a baby monsters that have been killed and then you being trapped in a bubble by a thirteen year old boy not long after
Nephrite was pretty funny as Centipeetle.
Yeah. I like that she's uncorrupted and can actually talk now, but you gotta admit that Centipeetle was a funny little Gem.
I wonder if Nephrites being perfectionists are why they're good pilots. Gotta make sure your flyers are doing all of their pre-flight checks!
Nephrite is one of my favorite gems in real life, and I love the character. I kinda of hoped she would feature in this SUF more, but I get that they had limited time even for fan favorite characters.
*clears throat*
I am here to say one thing...
And one thing only...
*ROYAL PEARL* 👑
This is why I believe Rebecca should make Nephrite her own show. Nephrite doesn't get much screen time, and everyone loves her. I hope she gets one in the future.
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.
Y'all forgot to mention how people used to speculate Nephrite's gem for a Trapiche Emerald.
I wish I could support financially, but I love you guys!
"I'm still stuck at home like all of you" BAHAHAHAHA, my job is essential....
I wonder what would’ve happened if the diamonds’ attack go blocked by an asteroid passing by leaving the crystal gems being left unscathed and if rose/pink would even meet Greg while having hundreds of gems on earth just living amongst people.
*[Is that Steven’s old playmate...]*
When pearl frowns she looks like she is from regular show
Centie didn't draw the skypicture of Steven
Nephrite: **exists**
Me: *I love her*
Do Bluebird Azurite next please.
Blue Azurite is a cool fusion.
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?!
In SUF when the cluster appeared to help corrupted Steven, I thought for a moment that some of the former corrupted gems would appear too, with Nephrite having a short talking with Steven too :/ still one of my faves
Back in the beginning of Steven Universe I always thought she was like an emerald or something like that before they told us her name😂
Me too. I thought she was a Trapiche Emerald 😂
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 :)
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.
@@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.
I thought the same. It took everybody's reassurance to turn him back to normal.
@@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.
I to thought her gem looked like a pokey ball and I was like in my head “oh so we are playing pokèmon now”
As a Maori person myself, I just wanted to say that your pronunciation was pretty good :)) It's just the 'Te' in 'Te Waipounamu' is pronounced more like 'Teh'. & for 'Maori' the 'r' is rolled. (Sorry for being 'that' person, it's just that this is my culture & I wanna help you guys understand it more)
Could you do "Minor gems and their symbolism"?
I wish we could've seen more of Nephrite in Steven Universe Future
I really wished we had seen more of her in the show
"I miss people"
MOOOOOOOOOD
I'm slowly going crazy lol
@@kriscarr4929 oh my God I got a reply by the host herself I feel like an Era 1 gem in front of a diamond
I always loved Nephrite's corrupted "tame" form in Monster Buddies. Something about watching a cute lil space bug that acts like a dog eating Chaaaps is sooo cute~ It was cute watching how shy and scared she was too as well as she walked in that episode~
I swear, Nephrite was the ONLY thing that could make me cry in that show-
Everyone always saw the corrupted gems as mindless beasts, but I noticed that they're more like scared and confused animals.
I think Centipeetle and Lion are my favorite characters. What? I love animals to bits, and I've always found it super fascinating how people like Dee Bradley Baker can voice monsters and animals so well despite being humans! ^^ Heck, his performance as Centipeetle sounded so much like an actual monster that before finding out for sure, the only reason I figured she was probably voiced by a human was because it didn't sound like any sound effect I've ever heard. That dude's got mad skills! :D
When will you do yellow pearl blue pearl and pink pearl analysis
Sapphire Pearl they should totally do that!! 100%
Talk to nerdwire
they did that
As a half Māori, it was super cool of you to mention Pounmamu. Might I also mention how your pronunciation was pretty good!! Kua pai te mahi!! (Well done in English 😄)
Do an Onion symbolism
Hey Kris! You can help me out by uploading videos! Having any entertainment to look forward to is keeping me sane, especially after Steven Universe Furture ended. Now about Centi
I've always loved this character. Episodes with her in them were so wholesome (besides Gem Glow, that was more fighty.) I just love her and wish we got more time with her. I would've loved for her and the other uncorrupted gems to have been in Furture more, they deserve some love and attention
So glad you're enjoying the videos!!! I totally agree with you about getting them more screen time!
"you have to remember this all happened today!" best line
I get that this channel is abandoned but this playlist brings me so much comfort
Nephrite is definitely my favorite side character! Her backstory hurt me so much, wish we could’ve seen more of her :(
Tbh, I always cry every time I watch her EPs.
She probably also has cloning capabilities since she’s the only gem seen making non-gemmed creations of their own
4:57. Look at those 2 Nephrites in the bottom left corner. AWWW
Centi is one of my two major dissappintments in SUF. The biggest being Biggs, Snowflake and Crazylace Agate having no scenes togetjer with Bismuth, ut's one of the things i wanted the most, especially Biggs with how fondly Bismuth spoke of her. Second being not a single episode about Centi and steven's friendship
Keep on making videos! Especially "Gem & Their Symbolism Explained!" ones!
I'm trying to keep sane. and these videos ALWAYS put a smile on my face
So happy to help keep ya smiling during this time! Thanks so much for watching!
Is it just me or do Nephrite and Lapis seem like they'd be able to bond easily over their relatively common backstory
Nino Mitchell Man I would have loved that.
Hanging in there and appreciate the videos
Just keep doing what you’re doing but also be safe guys
Hope everyone is doing well and safe
Breh, I just finished a Steven Universe binge today 😂
i miss nephrite, she was my favorite character :C
Excuse me, but the nephrite that Steven befriends in Steven Universe and the nephrite piloting the plane with Andy in Steven Universe Future are *not* the same nephrite!
5:23 that’s. A different. Nephrite
Baby Ventipeedle was SO adorable.
Neferite wasn't the one in the plane her gem is like a pokeball the other neferite in future had her gem in her chests
Nephrite would have worked great against Stevzilla because Nephrite is Stevens friend and the real crystal helps with stress
in monster buddies episode i cried in the end
Nephrite is also one of the few gems to have kids. Unfoirtunately the crystal gems killed them all violentely.
6:07 centipeetle rotated her head in a 180° degree. lil centi is awesome.
So no one gonna talk about how she has a pink diamond on her chest
Anyway you can fix the garnet episode to add the Capricorn details... that would really cheer me up right now
I love these gem analysis 😅
I'm so glad!
Great video, and yes she should’ve had a bigger role in future
I like how you could've choose the best picture of nephrite but instead you choose the worst picture of nephrite in the picture of of the title
Isn't it a different Nephrite flying Andy's plane though? The one in the plane has the gem on the chest, while the one in the original series had the gem as the eye.
You and Whitney need to do podcasts 😭🤩 you two have such a hilarious bounce off each other
Can we talk about how young Steven had his first friend (pet?) crushed before his eyes?
I wish we did get to see more of Nephrite. She played just a big role in the series, as far as the corrupted gems go. It would have been nice to let her have an episode or even just a scene
I am so surprised I thought we had run out of gems but then you bring up centipeetle
I would also like to see "Steven Jr." aka The Goat
- honestly, I personally think it represents the corruption and trauma you go thru in battle an war. She was practically broken and was losing her mind, she was desperate and felt herself go crazy
4:24 It’s not corruption if it isn’t forced upon a gem. It’s a self-inflicted transformation.
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...
As a Sailor Moon fan, I, too, can’t think of Nephrite without thinking of Nephrite :)
larse's smile in the intro is so creepy- XD 4:47
Steven Universe was my beginning of loving crystals
I want to see like an episode or a fan made episode about the rest of the world discovering the existence of gems because I think that beach city is like a secluded bubble unknown to the rest of the world
You should do the HOMEWORLD garnet trio such as Hessonite, Pyrobe, and Demantoid as the next gem vid
I would love some Bee and PuppyCat content! :)
Going back and rewatching the first episode of the original series, it’s actually painful to see Nephrite get electrocuted. Also I agree Nephrite should have appeared more in Future.
please do a ruby squad history and symbolism explained please that would make me much happier in quarantine!
Love that you think of Sailor Moon when you hear these names too. 😅
Im good
And make the things that you would love to make
I will watch anything that you guys post
Snowflak obsdion next
Centipeetle the cutest gem i wish they made our centipeetle more active in Future
6:06 I think ya mean a full 360 ○ ... a full 180 is just a straight angle ____ 😭
1:07 that spinal on the bottom right is a drawing from Ghostfacenikol
I had no idea Nephrite was a jade. I’m from New Zealand and heard the names greenstone, jade and ponamu before but never nephrite, that’s so cool to learn. Ponamu is a big part of our culture here and you’ll find it for sale in pretty much every part of the country (though you shouldn’t buy it for yourself, it should be gifted otherwise it’s bad tapu)
I wish there were more about healed gems and their magic powers in SU Future 😿😿😿
9:14 I see a bunch of books, a Code name Sailor V figure and a black Pokemon ball behind Kris
Yep! My office is basically just books and action figures lol
Anyone agree that when centi is in her tiny form is adorable?
