    The latest batch of Steven Universe episodes brought up a few new interesting questions regarding the Crystal Gems, the Diamond Authority, and homeworld. What I would like to focus on today is an interesting thing Pearl did in Gemcation, which first aired on the Cartoon Network app in November. In it, it appears as if she struggles to tell Steven the truth about something that she did. This normally wouldn't be cause for alarm, but from the way she struggles to say anything at all during this moment, it made many people start to wonder if there was something else going on that we do not know about.
    What is even more interesting is that this seems to be something Pearl does every so often when something big happens regarding the Diamonds or Rose Quartz. This seems like a very strange topic at first, but as I explore it in the video, there may actually be something to it. Watch the full video to see what other secrets the Crystal Gem's Pearl may be hiding!

    I just realized that this...this is why Pearl was so offended by the thought of Rose having secrets she wouldn't know about. Pearl LITERALLY KNEW HER GREATEST AND DARKEST SECRET. And for Rose/Pink to ask her of THAT much. To keep silent about that and then have the GALL to keep other secrets from her???? That is actually kind of messed up.

      She is free. She belongs to know one but herself. She followed because she wanted to, not because she was forced too, even when given the choice to run, she chose to stay.
      Loyalty, love and slavery are to separate beings interly.

    • @BastienYaiba

      In some points Pearl was dying to tell Steven the truth but it seemed like her body doesn't let her. It seems more like a mental control power than a loyalty thing.

      @Wingedwolfstar67 6 лет назад +11

      I think it was Steven or Amethyst (someone) did point out to Pearl, as this exact thing was brought up in the show, that she was, in fact, the one leading pink diamond. She showed her the wonders of Earth and she made Pink want to run away with her. So in a way, she was more than free.

  • @galacticjewels7856
    @galacticjewels7856 6 лет назад +96

    It's crazy how accurate this is. One of the writers confirmed that a function of a Pearl is that they can not disobey an order from their master. We see this in A Single Pale Rose.

      yo what if it's just a defected pearl thing. like every pearl is programmed with a fail safe to keep their mouth shut which is activated the moment they defect from their owners, which is why we've never seen blue or yellow pearl exhibit this behavior, but rhodonite and CG pearl (both defected) do.

    Look closely at the pearls in "The Trial."
    After Zircon states: "And where was her Pearl?" Yellow Pearl's eyes went wide, as if she couldn't see anything.
    And the Blue Pearl just stood there, as if nothing has been said.
    Yellow Pearl: See no evil
    Blue Pearl: Hear no evil
    White Pearl : Speak no evil
    Edit: Just my interpretation on this matter. Yellow and Blue could be the other way around

    • @BokanProductions

      @thefactspherefromportal2740 6 лет назад +115

      BokanProductions Blue Pearl, because she just stood there, as if nothing has been said, as if she couldn't _hear_ them.
      Again, just a theory, don't quote me on this

    • @fairy9694
      @fairy9694 6 лет назад +89

      imo, its the other way around for blue & yellow.
      Like talking about the diamons here, but blue didnt witness pink's shattering and is desperate to know anything about it. She also covered her face/eyes with a piece of cloth... Not to mention, some gems in her court cover their eyes, like blue pearl with her hair.
      yellow diamond was ready to execute steven before any evidence or inquiry was given. She poofed blue zicron the moment she accused her. YD even poofed green zicron, despite defending her. She just didnt want to hear it.
      yellow diamonds court does seem very... talkative? and arent much listeners... at least imo. not totally sure how this would tie in with yellow pearl, but... yeah lol
      these are just minor speculations and i might be reaching but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Remember Rhodonite? When the Rutile twins brought Steven and Lars to the off colors, she almost covered her mouth when in shock and used another to try and block them away.
    What if fusing with Ruby has lessened the natural instinct of fully covering her mouth when in a stressful situation?

    • @cutecakes2228
      @cutecakes2228 6 лет назад +99

      This would be really interesting! Like what if owners implanted this silencing thing into their pearls, so that they could never reveal their owners’ secrets. Since Pearl has never truly mentioned anything about neither Pink nor White Diamond, it is still yet to reveal which Diamond she was owned by. Rhodonite’s Morganite would have done the same thing, but fusing with Ruby may have ‘dulled’ this trait unique of Pearls

    • @ceviche4life951
      @ceviche4life951 6 лет назад +18

      Danny Neyman so if Pearl fused to make Alexandrite, that means they’d have enough will power to speak the TRUTH! ☝🏻

    • @Nameless_mixes
      @Nameless_mixes 6 лет назад +13

      Doesn't even need to go all out to Alexandrite, she may just need to become Opal or more likely Sardonyx, but Alexandrite would definitely be the best case scenario possible, UNLESS we consider two other options:
      We know that we're going to see a redone version of Rainbow Quartz at some point, and Steven's human presence could really overpower White Diamond's abilities. Look at how Steven was able to nullify the Gem Destabilizers that're designed after Yellow Diamond, that might work with other Diamond abilities (although that idea might not be entirely valid since he still seemed phased by Blue's emotional abilities).
      Or to go ALL the way, we know that it's the Onyx temple (I believe), meaning that a fusion with Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst and Rose/Steven would be the ultimate way to get rid of White Diamond's influence.
      But of course, these are all just theories =/

    • @atkvin
      @atkvin 6 лет назад +6

      Danny Neyman there's something else too!! Alexandrite has two mouths - Pearl in the fusion may try to silence the upper mouth, but the second mouth can still talk (Amethyst talks through it in Fusion Cuisine, demonstrating it is capable of speech)!

  • @chrispyynugget1537
    @chrispyynugget1537 6 лет назад +99

    I widely accept the theory that all Pearls cannot speak of the Diamond's secrets. Since they are always around the Diamonds they hear things that only the Diamonds should know. If they try to speak of a secret from their Diamond their hand is forced to shut the mouth.

    Actually, that theory at the end there doesn't sound stupid at all. I never noticed that, but the three pearls together do represent see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Although, I doubt what they would have to reveal would be evil, but rather forbidden knowledge.

      Phil's Fox Jumper I imagine given Pearl's close connection with Rose and the Diamonds is so closely entwined that to show her time with Rose during the rebellion is the key story that lays out the bigger secrets the show and the Crystal Gems have been keeping from Steven(and the audience)

    This made me realize how horrible it was for pearl in the last example you used. Think about how pearl raised Steven up. Became a mother to him. And she has to watch him leave to be killed. She can't scream to him to stop, that pink was never shadered. That he is actually pink. It's truly horrible.

  • @alfrely227
    @alfrely227 6 лет назад +1418

    I really hope that Pearl is being muted by the Diamonds, that would be pretty great. But a small part of me can't stop thinking that it was just bad acting from the animators e_e
    Pd: The "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" is definitivly a strech, but if it's true it would be pretty awesome!

      @alfrely227 6 лет назад +33

      Remy Shoot, this is when my spanish shows up. What I was trying to say is that Pearl acting was poorly done. In animation, acting is when the animators figure out and decided how a character moves and reacts. Good acting results in believable characters. Bad acting is just creepy and catastrophic. My personal fear, is that maybe the animators didn't nailed it with Pearl's acting, and decided to make Pearl cover her mouth as a sign of her struggle for telling Steven about her past. But they made it look that she was really struggling with her hand, so many of us were mislead by that and now we are thinking that Pearl maybe under the Diamond's control. I hope I made myself more clear now xD

    • @lucasmartinez5703
      @lucasmartinez5703 6 лет назад +23

      I don't think Pearl's acting was bad. If anything I thought it was good because of how deliberate the animators made it look. It really seems like she physically can't talk about it, but as she says herself she wants to. It's part of why people made so many theories about this since then including the possibility of mind control. It peaks interest in her character which was already pretty interesting. It also adds another layer to the mysteries behind her character.

  • @tori6056
    @tori6056 6 лет назад +98

    You know, there's a forth part to the "hear no evil speak no evil see no evil" saying which is "do no evil". This could tie into your theory. If pink diamond is actually not evil as some had speculated then it would follow that her pearl would do no evil as well

    @ratherbesailing7692 6 лет назад +27

    Now that "A Single Pale Rose" is out, this makes much more sense.
    Pearl, before she "shattered" pink diamond as rose quartz, Rose put Pearl's hands over her mouth, and asked her, as her last duty as a diamond, to never speak of that to anyone. So now, even when Rose is gone, she still has this sense of not wanting to betray her beloved Rose. Her silencing herself is a painful reminder that she still has to keep that secret. Even though Steven himself, is half rose quartz/pink diamond, Pearl now knows him as a different person, and is painfully covering up her secrets, even though she believes he deserves to know the truth.

    It was mostly related to the diamonds or Rose

    • @sh27k
      @sh27k Год назад +7

      it’s like….a sort of programming within her. she was made to follow orders. when pink diamond’s final order was for her to keep the truth a secret, she was forced to keep that to herself for thousands of years. whenever she covers her mouth, it’s her programming. she physically cannot fall out of order or break any law

    the two fingers under Pearl's nose are her lips. The third one is her chin.
    Now she has giant lips.

    I can kinda agree with the "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" theory with one small adjustment
    Blue Pearl has her eyes covered, our Pearl covers her mouth and, if we go with Yellow Pearl having her ears covered, it lines up with the theory, however we all know that our Pearl can project images from her gem which, theoretically, could double as "speaking" and during 'The Trial' Blue is the one drawing what Steven describes, thus "seeing", and Yellow is transcribing what is being said, thus "hearing"
    Not sure what it all means but it could be interesting

    What if Rainbow Quartz was actually the gem that shattered pink diamond? This is just a sudden thought, but it could explain why pearl covers her mouth with her hands as she could be traumatized by what she did while fused. That could be her secret. Maybe Rose Quartz had taken the blame for the shattering. Pearl could feel guilty for being mixed into the whole mess.

    You forgot the most important and final evil, “Do No Evil” perhaps if your going with the “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil,” Pink Diamond, from what has been speculated, was nicer than the other Diamonds, so perhaps her pearl would have been the same and would have not acted violently, “Do No Evil” and going back to “See No Evil”, most blue gems have something with there eyes, Sapphires singular hidden eye, Lapis’ cloudy mirror like eyes when her gem was cracked, Aquamarine has her gem directly under her eye, Blue Zircon had a thing held up to her eye, even Blue Diamonds eyes were covered and she cries quiet frequently. Blue gems try to steer away from seeing evil, and Blue Pearls eyes are covered as to never see any evil, like her Diamond who was glad to have not witnesses Pink Diamonds shattering, and perhaps that she rarely leaves homeworld? We haven’t seen anything from White Diamond so that fits the speak no evil already, and yellow gems, like Yellow pearl, Yellow Diamond, Yellow Zircon, even Topaz who tried to feign not hearing, gems on her ears, as to never hear any evil, they rarely let the others talk and when they do, the Yellow gem doesn’t listen to reason. While Pink Diamonds Court mostly seem to be nice, like I assume the Rubies, Rutile, Padparacha Sapphire, and Rhodonite all seem very nice, as in, “Do No Evil”

    White diamond’s power could be disabling gem powers. For instance, Pearl’s speaking is disabled, and the corrupted gems access to taking their preferred physical form is disabled. Idk what do y’all think?

    • @zaqareemalcolm
      @zaqareemalcolm 6 лет назад +8

      Robert Cook it would make sense especially if the corruption song does turn out to be a fusion of the Diamonds’ powers. Yellow can disrupt a Gem’s physical form while Blue is able to affect other Gems’ emotional state.

    "unable to talk about huge secrets regarding the Diamonds"
    You are forgetting non-Diamond Gems can acquire Pearls. I think its less about keeping Diamond level secrets and more about being "pre programmed" to never speak out against their owners. Pearl isn't "owned" anymore, but that doesn't mean that "programming" went away.
    I see two possibilities:
    1.
    The nature of why she can't speak about certain things is to keep the secrets and plans of her owner.
    She can't speak out about her previous owner, or the things and gems her previous owner was associated with, due to this programming. Her previous owner may be poofed, shattered, or back on Homeworld and as such can't change or tell her what she CAN speak about, forever locked into keeping those secrets. Her previous owner doesn't have to be a Diamond. They could just be an elite that was under one of the Diamonds during the war.
    2.
    The nature of why she can't speak about certain things is to prevent Pearls from speaking out and against their owners. Its not about secrets so much as obedience. When Pearl was freed, however that may have went, the programming stopped being associated with her previous owner. It started being associated with the Crystal Gems during the rebellion and eventually Steven and his friends and family. The programming has likely become warped due to thousands of years of old conflict and trauma coming to head against Steven's attempts to bond with her. She can't stop the programming from censoring what she can say and has inadvertently caused the programming to associate Steven as her owner(likely the same thing occurred during the rebellion with Rose). Steven's association as her owner is likely not something she did consciously, rather the result of considering him "family", and the programming using that definition as the closest thing she would have to an actual owner.

    While I find this to be a fascinating parallel, I must then postulate that Pink Pearl had the fourth part (that never gets bloody mentioned except in tumblr proverbs posts):
    Do No Evil (sitting on your hands),
    which could be an interesting connotation that she had literally *nothing* to do with PD's shattering.
    That also implies that the other D-Pearls would have had something to _do_ with her shattering... eh?

    Man, when you watch this after A Single Pale Rose, a lot of quotes from Pearl starts to come to mind.
    "You shouldn't be anywhere near the fighting! You're too important!"
    "Rose kept many things secret. Even from us." (Garnet) "But not from me! I was the one she told everything!" (Pearl)
    I'm sure there are a lot more, but I'll have to rewatch the series to find them all.

    gems are programms, pearl showed that she stores older versions of herself inside her gem, version 1.0; 1.1; 1.2 etc and the diamonds can just alter those programs and add a code like 'if pearl trys to speak X hands go to place Y"
    Pink dismond placed pearls hands where she programms them to be and "orders as diamond" to set the extra program in motion - this could also mean rose/diamond 'created' the christal gems by adding a 'rebell' subroutine - and also explains how steven/rose/pink D can enter a gems mind (dreams) and alter their characteristic/let their personality grow - best shoen in stevens mind control power. Once steven gets all memmorys activated from pink D (happens slowly) pink D will be able to alter the minds of organic beeings just like those of gems

    @fanime1 6 лет назад +5

    Nice to see you come back. I'm not into this theory, but this video gave me an idea. You mentioned that some people believe Pearl was designed to remain silent. Knowing Rebecca Sugar is inspired by anime, what if she was inspired by Princess Tutu. Long, amazing story short, Princess Tutu is about a Duck who was turned into a human, but she has to turn into Princess Tutu to find her love's, Prince Mytho, heart shards. But if she confesses her feeling to him, she will die. There's a lot of similarities here. First, Princess Tutu wears white and also has pink hair and blue eyes. She also covers her mouth a lot. And a lot like Steven Universe, the anime relies more on resolving conflict through talking and dancing more than fighting. It's only 24 episodes and I recommend both the dub and sub. You should really check it out because I really do see a connection between the two shows.

    I suspect that Garnet knows what’s going on. I think she knows why pearl isn’t able to share information. Every time pearl is covering her mouth and garnet is there garnet seems to look at her and one time she even said “you are making pearl very upset” maybe when it was just garnet, pearl and rose rose told garnet what was happening with pearl but did not tell her what the information pearl was hiding. One thing I am sure of is that Garnet knows what’s up with pearl, hence her distressed looks at pearl when she covers her mouth
