    I notice in the episode ‘Lion 2: The Movie’ when we first see Rose’s sword the way that it appeared is similar to how Obsidian forms it’s blade. The grip of the sword is made (or appears) and then they pull the blade out of their heads creating the full sword. Also how they use the swords is similar, using a forehand, then a back hand and ending with an over head strike, aka Overhead Death Strike.

      @octosageuwu2829 4 года назад +107

      Them not having a weapon as Alexandrite it's supposed to symbolize how all three of their gems well, all four of their gems are completely different and without rose/steven. each gem has no reason to be together at all. I feel like her not having a weapon is supposed to symbolize their differences while together.

    • @omegaotaku1342
      @omegaotaku1342 3 года назад +14

      They could form the flail by summoning Sugilite's wrecking ball and then creating hundreds of Pearl's spears orbiting it (or arrows from Opal's bow), while one large spear forms the handle at the end of the whip tied to the gauntlet. They then breathe fire at the weapons causing them to melt together as the gauntlet on the end of the wrecking ball turns into a sphere as all the spears or arrows stick to its surface as jagged spikes, while the whip becomes a chain. The fire breath part is based on how Obsidian used the lava mouth to combine all the weapons into a sword, which is another medieval weapon, so Alexandrite uses the fire mouth to combine all the weapons (except Steven's) into a flail, also a medieval weapon. However, the way the spikes are jagged and not perfectly arranged (which is unlike Pearl, who is neat and tidy) as well as the gauntlet not turning perfectly spherical is a representation of how it's not perfect; something is missing, Alexandrite is just Obsidian but without Steven.

      Could be, but it's also possible that Obsidian can climb without the suction cups because she's so much bigger than Sunstone. She can grab onto more of the ship than Sunstone can since her hands are bigger, so Sunstone has a bigger chance of slipping.

    Obsidian was definitely a finale worthy fusion and I love how Steven was part of the base instead of shoving the main character at the top. At the end of the day Steven was a support character and that didn't change the entire series. He was never a badass who took on everyone by himself he needed to be cooperative, trustworthy and full of love. Thats what I love most about Steven universe. On their own each gem is a losers but their ability to come together makes them able to overcome any challenge. Most people in real life can't set aside differences and come together and so the gems are always stronger.

    obsidian was an amazing fusion, she reminds me of gotenks from dragon ball, with out the childish personality of gotenks and she packes a punch.
    alexandrite is tuff and id turn tail if i saw her fighting another gem also her fusion dance (dragon ball referance) gets more and more graceful and smooth.
    garnet seperate has her own set of problems but when she comes back its like goku just appeared garnet can see the future in many ways and she picks a future that happens and because of ruby has the ability to alter it as seen in garnets origan in the show they are by far the glue that holds their fusions to gether.

    What I really like about the fact is that the irl gem having such a high hardness can have a double meaning in the canon. Basically that in the show she‘s a tough fighter, but since hardness in gems often also means that they are more easily breakable, it could also mean that‘s why she‘s also so unstable and often times just done swiftly for the convenience unline Garnet who fuses long term. Yet again it‘s such clever writing. You can use both implications and to really think of that I find to be really creative tbh.

    Obsidian appears to defensively weak compered to her attacking power. She was un-fused by being slam between a building and the Mach where Sunstone get stomped on by the Mech and was fine. Real life obsidian, being a glass, is easily shattered.

    Obsidians appearance in that episode of future is there to show that the later events of change your mind were rather traumatizing to steven, like there was a giant robot trying to smash him that was controlled by 3 of his family members, 2 of which were being controlled by the other, and when that part was done most of his family was being controlled againat their will by this enormous being so bright you cant tell the difference between her hair and her head that litterally amputated a part of him with a psychopathic smile and put him in a state that looked really close to death, that would be traumatizing to ANYONE but chuck noris

    It all makes sense, remember Sunstone? Yeah, the lava came from Steven’s gem. Now, with Steven and the other gems, creating obsidian, Steven has something to do with lava. It also could be for Smoky Quartz too, but not as much, but it mainly seems Garnet = Steven fusions.

    The Obsidian temple carving/statue is a life size rendering of Obsidian(or very Similar in size). I realized this because Connie fits in their hand with room to spare in Change Your Mind, enough room for a warp pad and a washer/dryer.

  • @archangelamber666
    @archangelamber666 3 года назад +1

    1:57 it’s a similar thing with Malachite
    As part of my personal gem theory, in certain cases of Alexandrite, and Malachite especially, they’re a forced fusion, meaning that specific gem’s personality isn’t unlocked, and any of the fusion materials can take control and stuff. I think we do here Alwxandrite’s real voice when she defuses Malachite with the Opal bow, but that’s it.
    The fusions only stay together from will of the user(s), even if it isn’t perfect. Jasper was extremely dominant so Malachite always stuck, but Alexandrite was more unstable due to the 3 clashing personalities all being dominant in different aspects

  • @minimoose3359

    My favorite thing about Obsidian was before we got to see her in action, everyone had beautiful fanart of her. The majority that I've seen displayed her as almost dainty and colorful. Once she was on screen, she was depicted as almost the opposite! The dark color scheme and abrasive fight style was incredible to watch. It was a complete 180 for me because at that point I was used to the serene and wise fanart. Plus, the hooves were my favorite!!

    One minor note from someone who does subscribe to crystal healing: obsidian and other black gems are less like a vacuum of negative energy, since they don’t take in the energy themselves. Rather they “banish” the negative energy, keeping it away from the holder/wearer in general. (There are some other crystals, like turquoise, that does take in the negative energy and should therefore be cleansed if it every once in a while.)
