Thank you all for being on this journey with us and thank you all for helping us hit 600k. You guys made our Steven Universe experience THAT much better.
Also notice that in the end at Rose's fountain, the Diamonds are positioned to match the Diamond Authority insignia. But Steven isn't positioned in PD's place; instead, the statue of Rose Quartz is there, which represents how PD really is gone.
Anybody else notice how Pearl decided to reform wearing a jacket like how she wore a jacket when she was trying to change in that episode with the pink haired mystery girl?
Is nobody gonna point out how White Diamond metaphorically projects herself on Steven like she does literally on the other gems? About how "you surround yourself with inferior gems so you can be the top of the losers" while she's constantly rambling on about how perfect she is & has to be for the sake of providing a beacon for all to aspire to? She's putting the flaws she sees on herself on PD, and by extension Steven. She even mentions how Pink is a part of her she has to repress, because she attributes these weaknesses to her, since they only came out in the moments of levity brought about by her
Maybe they didn't show it because it's turned to be in the position of Pink Diamond instead of Rose Quarts, This showing that everything has kind of come full circle with everything. Also I'd like to see Steven's powers get stronger with him having this orientation of his gem and how strong his mother actually was after this episode. Though, like with his other powers, it comes slowly as to not hurt him in the processes.
Temzie / Temzette Basically what they are But if it’s taken seriously this is not right.. It it is taken for what they look like then.... You got it right
The Biggest Plot Twist for me is that Blizz the Glaceon is a Boy. Keep in mind that he has a Feminine Look at the Creator calls him "Baby." Something that you would say to a Girl...
Anyone else realise that when Steven gets his gem back we never got to see it through out the rest of the episode? Is it because it went back to its original position and Rebecca wanted to keep it a secret until the movie?
I've considered this as well, but it would only reinforce the "Steven is Pink" train of thought even though this episode establishes that he really and truly isn't. However, if Rebecca Sugar decided to return it back to Pink's position I'd be for it. It'd feel like a homage to his mom.
Guys, the gem changed shape while pink Steven was forming. Went from original pink diamond place to rose quartz place to Steven's body. It's the regular rotation
*sees familiar, everyone stating that Steven is a princess* *sees that a Disney animator animate a change your mind scene* I think Disney now wants Steven. everyone, prepare for another war.
What I liked the most is that amethyst needed a longer dose of the white mind control light than pearl and garnet since she’s the most mentally resolved gem compared to the two and even was trying to fight it off before losing. And when I saw the gem version of steven I remembered the video that Rose made for Steven/Nora. That she’ll love every moment she’s him. And there might’ve been a moment it could’ve been either pink or rose but since rose decided to give up herself of course it would just be steven. It just shows how much she really loved him and how serious she was in her decision. I seriously thought that in all the times she sucked as a mom to steven even while being “dead” this is the first time she had his back. Or his other self if you will. It was super emotional for me if anything.
@@DonaldWWitt I think that they can. I think that Rose is still in Steven's gem-Pink and Rose both are-but she wants Steven to feel independent from her and her consequences, so she let herself be Steven, maybe?
I am going to point out something that most likely other people have already noticed. BUT, remember when Rose Quartz left that video for Steven and she says "I'm going to become half of you." it seems like Pink Steven is the result of that. So Rose wasn't speaking metaphorically, it was literal. Pink Steven says "She's gone." and she is. Pink Steven is Rose, transformed into Steven's other half. The split screen when Steven's gem reforms into Pink Steven is proof of this. Pink Steven may be the representation of everything Steven inherited from his mother. Particularly her powers since he's so OP. I think that Pink's/Rose's personality may have been written over with Pink Steven. This leads me to a theory, I learned from experience but when you re-record over a VHS tape you can sometimes see shadows of the thing you recorded over. For a more detailed explanation of this phenomenon watch Captain Disillusion's video of the Disney Park Ghost. Anyway, I think that the gem is basically a storage device, holding the gem's personality, knowledge, etc. Like a VHS tape (although definitely more advanced). So if the gem is passed on to another person, then the gem gets rewritten with the new person's personality and knowledge. However, the ghosts of the original gem holder's memories remain. That's why Steven has those flashbacks. I think the proof of this theory is the fact that the video for Steven is on a ( drum-roll please ) VHS tape! Kind of a lame theory but hey, it's a theory.
Also from the same episode from the VHS tape I didn't that that this quote "Whenever you love yourself, Its just me loving you" Would be taken seriously in this episode.
The she's gone line happened for a reason, people are missing the point. Pink Steven is Stevens physical gem half, not rose, nor pink, Steven. That gem decided to form as Steven only. It's also a physical representation of half of a gem, that's why it's all glitchy and unstable
Makes me wonder how powerful Steven really is. He's soft-hearted, not even wanting to hurt his enemies, plus his relative inexperience, makes me think, if he ever lost control or his temper, he could do some MAJOR damage. I don't think White Diamond's shock was because of Gem Steven's outburst, but by the power of his outburst.
Obsidian was basically a reference to Kali, the many armed Hindu goddess of destruction and motherly-love. Weird combination of mythological themes, but very appropriate for Steven Universe.
Actually, that combination makes perfect sense. Have you seen how fiercely animals will protect their young? They will rip you apart, (destruction,) to protect their children. (motherly love.)
When garnet is herself she's very neutral. Because ruby and sapphire are both opposites so they fuse and make a neutral fusion. But when garnet fuses with others, they are more like that other gem garnet fuses with. Because they are the gem that tips their balanced scale. That's why sardonic is more elegant like pearl. Why sugalite is more brash like amathyst. And why sunstone is more optimistic like steven.
The white diamond showdown was the darkest I've seen the show since Garnet and Steven first encountered forced fusions Plus, Pink Steven screaming she's GOOOOOOOONE was so jarring. So much anger and raw power with the emotionless face. Terrifying and jarring. An extreme contrast to Steven's usual bubbly self and his expressiveness.
Not gonna lie, I got scared. That really made my heart race too fast, they needed to chill. I was sweating during that whole interaction, and when White pulled his gem out I couldn't deal yo.
I've seen it the other way, too= White Diamond: What did you say? Answer me! Pink Steven (as Pearl singing "It's Over, Isn't It?): 🎵She's goooooooooone🎵
Pink Steven yelling "she's gone" made me think of the It's Over Isn't It line "she chose you and she loved you and she's gone." In the echo of the whole "she's gone" thing you can hear Lion's roar, which also made me think of Bismuth saying something like "roar back at them in their language."
8:22 interesting thought about Yellow and blue getting White'd. Moments before that happened Steven said "We can come up with a plan to help everyone, you can start with Yellow and Blue." In whites mind she did help them, she made them perfect, they where now also White Diamond.
Did you notice that (though we can't hear it), Amethyst says "Hey Sis" to Jasper? It is so sweet and shows just how far their relationship (at least in Amethyst's mind) has come.
And people keep complaining that the show has the Steven's Perspective rule. If the show didn't have and consistently follow this first person limited narrative, that scene choice wouldn't have had nearly as much significance or impact.
This might be way off or just a boring explanation, but during the first conversation with White while she was in the mech, Yellow says that “Your standards are held so high, that it could make a gem crack...” or something along those lines. Perhaps Pink Pearl just cracked under White’s rules, literally.
I thought about that comment too add that to white saying how shes every color and that pink is the part she trys to surpress the most and the theory of there being a red dimond. So red blue yellow are the 3 primary colors so its only natural to start as an equal basis for them all being the original 3. One day red dimond discovers that the gem she beleaved to be the most perfect of them all is off color and being the dimond/color of passion she takes it to heart personally and comes close to ruining everthing white has made but the problem is resolved before word gets out and a replacement is made which is pink and to prevent the same mistake happening white is much more strict. Now this is where the part about pressure comes in. Pressure is one of the most important things in gem formation irl and With all these rules and pressure being put on the developing pink it causes her to not mature right or maybe makes her a late bloomer so when believed to be ready to be exposed to the ways of colonizing shes exposed to a lot of things during a critical development stage where going back to her red function of passon she develops passon for organic life and not just the gem race like she was intended to
@@Veralsy That color thing doesnt support your clame of dimonds not being off color lol because white is off color and the show specifically states it as for the other color scheme your talking about i dont care lol u can have that im just doing red yellow and blue because its the three primary and on a separate note white said shes all colors
Does anyone else think that the reason that White Pearl ( originally Pink Pearl) is partially cracked is because she ''cracked'' under the pressure of always needing to be perfect for White Diamond? I'm only thinking that because of how Yellow Diamond said that any gem could crack under such pressure and the only reason they haven't yet is because they're Diamonds (unlike Pearl) when attempting to talk to White Diamond about how they were all feeling, but I could be wrong
Pink Diamond had another tantrum and accidentally lost control of her powers. Pink Pearl was unfortunately standing a little too close to her Diamond, getting traumatized in the process.
One thing you missed was that with Sunstone, her pockets are mismatched in color: one being red, the other blue. This is a reference to Ruby and Sapphire.
SU is probs the show with the most foreshadowing ever. I mean, it’s like every moment, piece of dialogue, and episode was just foreshadowing made to push the story further.
I know but comparing to Bojack in the foreshadowing game is just not a fair match. Spoilers but theres an entire season where a character is basically being served drugged coffee by an old lady with dementia which is a big twist unless you pay attention to the intro which consistently changes depending on who is living with the main character and what kind of damage or changes have been done to his house. Theirs a scene where Bojack drinks the same coffee and briefly gets a buzz. Cookie Cat is good, but Bojack surpasses Simpsons levels of background details.
@@TheGreatestSpy4life I watched it. And yeah, it's possibly in the same position and in the same orientation when Pink Steven forms, but it's also possible that when they fused back together, it could have changed. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
IM SO HAPPY YOU NOTED HOW PEOPLE SEE IT AS FAMILIAR TO BEING TRANS! I've been yelling this to my brother forever now because I can't unsee it. I am transgender myself, ftm (female to male), and a lot of things happening in Steven Universe relationship wise happened within my own family and is still happening. Honestly I almost cried when I saw the two were connected. Im absolutely ecstatic about this truly.
*I LIKE AMETHYST’S NEW LOOK!* *I LOVED THE PEBBLES!* *I ADORED THE FUSIONS!* *I CHERISH AWKARD WHITE DIAMOND!* *I NEED EVERY SINGLE UNCORRUPTED GEM!* *I LIVE THE REFERENCES!*
Can we talk about Steven's gem? The large, pointy end of the gem is always pointing into his stomach, and when it was removed, he should have had a huge, gaping hole in his stomach.
Rith Trelin which would explain why he would die if it was removed. Since it is a kids show, they wouldn’t be able to show blood or death without resurrection, so the more realistic consequence of him bleeding out and dying instantly didn’t happen because it would be too gorey and depressing.
The most irritating thing is (for me anyways), WHITE DIAMOND, the massive one we got at legs from here to homeworld, is NOT MASSIVE here. Edit: she looks so different here 11:1415:28
Lol when they opened their "mouth" it was filled with extreme heat and lava, and they're made out of obsidian so they basically forged a sword like you would in real life. If this was sarcasm please ignore me lol.
@@bxien1485 What? Apparently comments under a RUclips video discussing a child's cartoon show needs to be at a level of a published novel.🙄 -I did miss a comma after the "lol." Sure -You stated that my spelling was off, yet you did not comment on a single spelling error. You only discussed my use of punctuation...which is not the same as spelling. -Then you said I need capitalize proper nouns...I didn't use a single proper noun in my comment. And if you think "you're" and other contractions are proper nouns then you clearly failed the first grade. -And what skipping lines are you talking about? If you're talking about the space for the sarcasm sentence, I did that as a side comment. Stop being a dick. You're wasting too much of my time.
Does anyone remember in three gems and a baby where garnet thought Steven was a fusion? SHE WAS RIGHT! Also pearl tried to take Steve a gem out. Could this episode be one big episode of foreshadowing?
Not quite. Fusion involves two complete minds. Pink Steven did not possess a complete mind. (And we don't know if Human Steven was exactly complete, either.) Yes, the way the human and gem interacted was reminiscent of fusion, but remember that human-gem fusions are impossible without Steven present. Something about him makes it possible - something separate from fusion. Something that *enables* fusion.
white repeatedly talked about light and colour and how all the gems and the diamonds were apart of her because she is all the colours of the visible spectrum but she has trouble controlling pink because the colour pink isn't a natural colour of light the colour pink isn't found In the rainbow
Since that wasn't the actual *actual* finale, maybe this means we'll get an episode that lets us know who Homeworld is in a war against. I mean, the battle against the Crystal Gems is, relatively speaking, a fairly recent occurrence - and seems to predate the cluster, which last I heard was supposed to be a weapon.
My thoughts when I saw Obsidian's weapon. If Steven's Shield and Pearl's lance form an umbrella, and Garnet's weapon with the Amethyst whip form a kind of giant anchor, what could be the Obsidian weapon? *A SWORD.* excuse me wut
I mean Alexandrite didn't get an original weapon she just cycles through the other fusions. So not too surprising Obsidian's weapon doesn't build off all of them.
Pumpkin Pixie That wasn't his mom, though. Unless you mean in the same way that genetically you're your mother and father..? Pinks code was repurposed to be her half of Steven's DNA - it's only Steven. A few fragmented memories would be normal, since we know Gems use code... if I delete a file on a computer it can be recovered, but after awhile the file will be over written bit by bit, so recovering it will eventually be distorted or downright unreadable/unrecognizable. This would be Steven's distorted memories of Pinks. The majority was overwritten at his birth, and the tiny bits that are left are slowly being overwritten with his code/data and memories.
whoopsydaizy I really like your analogy and your code concept. It’s interesting, and makes sense. However, I feel like Pink and Rose still exist in the gem, because the gems still have their previous forms, as seen when they regenerate. And when we went into Pearl’s gem, we were able to see her in different states: at all of her different forms. And just like Steven was able to see Pearl’s memories at different times of her life while in her gem (and had to keep going into all her forms to get to the one when she was Pink’s pearl), I think that Pink’s/Rose’s memories are still in the gem, and that’s why he keeps having dreams of them. Whether or not she could properly form? Well… I don’t know that. But I believe she still exists in Steven’s gem, just like there were many Pearls inside Pearl’s gem. But I don’t think he’ll ever be able to meet her. Unless Pink and Rose can control the room in the temple, as well, and project themselves through that.
Guys, remember how Gem Steven was walking on air for a second while moving out of the crater? Do you also remember how gems controlled by White can glide around with no need of touching the ground? OG Steven and White could both show more expression and move more naturally than their weird counterparts. So what's the point? Steven is the host, not his gem. He was never defined by his mother's legacy as PD or Rose Quartz, it was always Steven who fixed everything, not Pink. Steven needs Pink, but isn't Pink. He needs what's left of Pink, but not to latch onto. He needs the Pink diamond, not Pink's legacy. Why? Because Steven Quartz Universe is his own legacy, in control of his own gem and his own destiny.
This episode was not only so shocking and had so much going on. Where do I start, for starters can we talk about how emptionless the gem half of Steven is without the human half? It was literally just raw power. It needs steven as much as he needs it and that is amazing.
Another diamond theory, backed up by gemological facts... Pink diamonds get their color from intense pressure. They don't contain "impurities" like yellow or blue ones. Pink and White's gems have the same cut. What if Pink was supposed to be another White but was subjected to too much pressure during her formation? And White's blush is a sign of her crumbling under the pressure put on her by her own pursuit of perfection?
One of my favorite lines was when Yellow was crying and telling Blue to stop using her powers. It felt like it would be what their verson of the "it's raining" line Mustang says in Fullmetal Alchemist.
@Rubai_Sora It was a very touching moment. I was able to figure out what she was saying as soon as she said "Stop," but it was very good to see her finally realizing that she has feelings and it is okay to have them.
Just like how in SpongeBob, there's always a "My leg!" In almost every episode. There's always someone T-Posing in almost every episode of Steven Universe.
One thing I loved is when Amethyst talks to Jasper, she clearly says “Hey, sis.” I just love that she is totally ready to have a friendly relationship.
A couple things, first the forced gem fusions in yellow’s room bring back the theory that she was experimenting with fixing broken gems in hopes of fixing pink one day. Second, I don’t think the gems cured of corruption will keep the scars from corruption. I just think it was to show that the healing process took time and wasn’t done all at once.
I loved every part of this episode except when steven forces the gems to reform through fusion. I feel like the series set out fusion to be something massive and I liked how every fusion in the series felt developed and worked on, each having they're own episode dedicated to them. But rainbow quarts 2.0, sunstone and obsidian felt like they were just thrown in there to satisfy the fans. I'm really hoping season six puts more effort into breaking down these fusions and putting more detail into them.
i keep replaying the scene of the steven halves reuniting because it's so emotional and i keep crying every time and the animation is absolutely beautiful and everything about is just b e a u t i f u l i just cant soB- the entire episode was absolutely amazing overall and i'd really love to see more of the new fusions and uncorrupted gems, and i just hope the next season will be just as good and the series will end great 💗
I believe paridot's new look is heavily inspired by pearls, amethyst and garnets old costumes. I also think that the reason she has so many stars on her is because she is definitely a crystal gem now
I think this episode reveals another reason on why rose was so keen on having steven. He was the only person in this shows universe that could have convinced white. If it was any other gem/human hybrid, white wouldn't have cared enough to listen, but since steven was part diamond, she cared enough about it to engage, and if it was still rose, she wouldn't have been able to back white into a corner and convince her. Steven was a necessity for ending this whole conflict.
I don't think Rose cared, she just wanted to be human and that was never possible, so she gave up her consciousness and fused with Greg to make a baby which was the second best thing. She explicitly states how she is a part of Steven, but that Steven will be his own person. I highly doubt Rose planned it all out.
Oscar Gonzalez Im with Oscar on this one. Rose wouldn’t have planned it out, I actually think she wanted Steven to not have to deal and bear the responsibility of all of that. He pretty much had no choice though. I think Rose underestimated how much Blue and Yellow would care as they were ignoring her for a while while they were busy colonizing planets.
Blue. At 11:00 stop it when she’s falling midair, she had blue and purple on her waist/abdomen. It’s the bisexual flag. Or just google her new reform, it’s there.
YOSHIFUNCLUB444 Jesus fucking Christ, why do I get the feeling you don't yap about sexuality in a kids show when it's about heterosexual couples? You make it seem as if they are having full out sex on the show, chill a little. I mean child media is full of references to heterosexual couples being in sexual relationships and I didn't turn hetero from watching those, so I don't think anyone will be "converted" to gay by seeing a design that maybe could be interpreted as a reference to a gay flag.
A small detail but I noticed on the bottom left corner when Biggs reformed the Nephrites kissed and one said (mouthed) "I love you" I just thought I would point that out for people who didn't notice.
there was also the scene with Amethyst swimming over to Jasper, who as you all remember is a mess of emotions having been brought about by her seeming abandonment issues: having failed in protecting her own mother Pink Diamond. Having abandoned by her extended family the Famethysts who she disowned for not being as perfect as she was due to not fitting in with the Homeworld ideals and having little idea about what kind of individual their mother Pink Diamond really was due to Yellow Diamonds' efforts to erase her existence to move on. Abandoned by Homeworld itself due to not seeing or hearing of any rescue attempts to save her and completely unaware of the Ruby Squad. Being rejected by Lapis who she had developed a case of Stockholm Syndrome for due to their time fused as Malachite. And having gathered together an army conscripted of Corrupted Gems to face off against the Crystal Gems that had taken nearly everything that she had cared about away from her, only for Steven and Amethyst to fuse into Smokey Quartz and the resulting fight breaking them out of their cages and having Jasper make a last-ditch effort to beat them by fusing with her Corrupted Sister "Snowflake" only for Snowflake to abandon when she got scared of Smokey Quartzs' power. "Nobody I fuse with ever wants to stay." could take on more meaning when we take out the phrase "I Fuse with" and replace it with "that I Love" to make "Nobody that I Love ever wants to stay." Back with Jasper and Amethyst, Amethyst approaches Jasper and places a hand on her shoulder to get her attention and says something that Jasper desperately needed to hear that she never knew she needed to know until now, a sense of belonging from a Gem that last she saw was a failure that was her enemy at one point, and these words that are spoken needed no dialogue or subtitles to understand what it was that Amethyst told Jasper only one time before when she was being Corrupted slowly and was poofed. _Earthlings_ : "C'mere, Sis." _Change Your Mind_ : "Hey Sis."
@@poemrider they mean the green gals like centipeedle. There's a cluster of three of them in the bottom left talking through out the scene just before bismuth's friend rises up and gets lovingly body slammed by her. :')
I made this comment in another comment section, but I wanted to post it here: That gemstone has been purged of all emotions. It takes the form of Steven, but it is only a part of him. It was born without a purpose, it was born WITH Steven. The gem and the body split the work load, the gem provides the power, the body provides a way to use that power, therefore a purpose. Pink Steven is raw power, no emotions, or more accurately, no control on how to express those emotions ( which is why his shout had so much power) his shield, while power full, no longer looks like it usually does, because it is the emotions that refine it into its specific shapes. But now all those emotions are in the physical body. When it was being attacked at both sides, it didn’t care if it hurt hurt the others, all it understood was that they are in his way, so he pushed them back. It was heading back to its purpose, to the reason why it exist, to be with the thing that allows him to feel emotions ( which is why it started smiling when it came into contact with its human counterpart)
One thing you didn't mention is that White Diamond is referencing the impurities in the other three diamonds that make them their respective colors. Most every gem comes in a colorless form. It is the impurities within the gem that affect which light it absorbs or reflects. There is colorless corundum (called white sapphire). There's colorless beryl (goshenite). Colorless quartz, and so on. All of these are the base minerals that define the gem: Carbon, aluminum oxide, beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate, and silicon dioxide, respectively. A diamond is made up of one single element: Carbon. It is carbon in its purest, hardest, most perfect form. But add another element, and the diamond changes color. Yellow Diamond has nitrogen in her gem. Blue Diamond has boron. Neither are pure, perfectly structured carbon. And Pink Diamond? Well, she's an enigma. No one knows for certain what makes a diamond pink or red. It could be the pressure of formation changed the crystalline structure so it only reflects red light. It could be an unknown impurity. SU implies that it's the pressure that makes Pink Diamond who she is. Most gemologists believe that pink and red are pressure sourced, and that pink and red diamonds are still pure carbon. This would explain why Pink's gemstone is identical in shape to White's, yet she still has a near-opposite personality to White. But regardless of the cause of that pink hue, White Diamond sees any color in a gem as indicative of an impurity; as a flaw. Even if no one else sees "impurities" as flaws.
White drove out the primary colours in her (pertaining to yellow, blue and red) but she failed with Red thus Pink was created. An off-colour. That's why White blushed a Pink colour too, it's because she still had some faint red (pink) in her.
flamethekid But it’s still her gem tho, so if you squint at it... then maybe you could see it my way... but who really cares. It was just a great scene XD
The scene when Steven fuses with himself gave me studio Ghibli vibes. Also, now that I think about it, he mentioned how Lapis and Peridot's new forms where similar to Guren Lagan's clothing, and that there may be more SU coming, so if they fuse will they look like him?!
This episode was fantastic... Easily my favourite episode of all time... It's amazing how they absolutely DESTROYED expectations and just.... Oh my god... The fanservice is impeccable; the fusions, the White Diamond scenes, the new outfits, LARS, *OBSIDIAN* ! I have no idea how season 6 will ever begin to top this but damn it's gonna be good!!! *OBSIDIAN* IS EVERYTHING NOW!
I'm afraid the sixth season will never top this one. They have completed all the major conflicts and problems in the plot. What is left? Cluster? Come on. Who will be afraid of the Cluster now? He already broke out once and instead of destroying the Earth, he defended it. In addition ... he peacefully returned to his bubble. The plot is empty now. I would be fine if they ended the show on this.
@@feodaron89 Supposedly the sixth season will involve another alien threat that threatens both humans and gems making all of them work together to overcome it.
@Arcanum Elite Seriously? For some reason, I thought the plot would work in this exact direction. I would like to see these aliens. Gems frankly is not the most friendly intergalactic empire ... all these "colonization" and destruction of organic life. I suppose they just never met a civilization at the same technological level. This will be a good lesson for them. I can already see Steven working as an ambassador for a peace settlement.
Yellow was probably thinking, "EXCUSE THE FUCK OUTTA YOU, JASPER, BUT JUST WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA DO TO MY BOY?! I WILL SHATTER YOU SO HARD YOUR ENTIRE VEIN OF QUARTZ GETS TUREND TO DUST!!" at first, and then, "That's what I thought," when she smiled
Okay but am I the only one wondering how White Diamond knows what a child is? There are no gem children, and apart from Pink Diamond, Homeworld gems tend not to pay much thought to organic life, soooo...
It makes sense to me actually. White Diamond already knew about the whole Pink Diamond mystery, she's well aware about everything including what led Pink to create Steven (she never truly understood what he was though) she comes off as more knowledgeable than any gem, she could've been watching very closely and just picked up concepts like child.
I don’t think you needed to cover this but i love how Connie carried Steven to his gem self. I think this shows how much their friendship has grown and how strong they’ve become together
Pretty sure Snowflake was the giant black and white gem that looked a Hell of a lot like, I don't know, a Snowflake Obsidian? The aqua quartz was an Ocean Jasper.
I was thinking that too. Not sure why Snowflake would look like a Jasper, when Snowflake is Obsidian. Just because Snowflake and Biggs were first mentioned in the same episode, doesn't mean they were the same two gems from Gem Hunt. Also, where's Crazy Lace? Is she still missing, or possibly shattered and used in the Cluster?

Roundtable: 0:25
Steven:Why thank you.😉
Also notice that in the end at Rose's fountain, the Diamonds are positioned to match the Diamond Authority insignia. But Steven isn't positioned in PD's place; instead, the statue of Rose Quartz is there, which represents how PD really is gone.
MAN!!!!!!!!!!! 1. Why do I not notice these things! 2. How are there so many hidden references in this show?
I want to point out how Lars being a space rebel and Sadie being a rock star could be seen as a tribute to Rose and Gregs relationship.
Interesting point.
She even sings let me drive my van into your heart
*oh*
tall pink space alien x short earth rockstar
Great catch! I didn't notice that one! 😄💜
Anybody else notice how Pearl decided to reform wearing a jacket like how she wore a jacket when she was trying to change in that episode with the pink haired mystery girl?
totally! she also looks a ton like her early concept sketches in the art book now!
I really liked jacket Pearl, so it's nice to see that's her regular look for now!
Yeah that was super cool
Her new outfit even looks more casual, almost like a normal human would wear.
Yah I did

Well technically all gems are inferior to her
Sadie: Hey Lars I dyed my hair
Lars: Hey Sadie I died
Omg that’s going to be an awkward conversation
Sven Last Name lol
I hated Lars the whole show, until he died and came back as someone actually kinda cool.
Lars: he died for coolness.
@@ManoredRed worth it
@@ManoredRed well, when people die, they become cool! (Talking temperature here, btw)
Pink diamond being the legs of the diamond body may be symbolism for pink being the foundation of home world and effectively keeps it together
YEETUD THE FEETUS I think it also could have to do with pink representing mobility as well
Amazing
Totally didnt see that everywhere else
one thing I noticed, after pink Steven and Steven reunite, we never see Steven's gem
AAAAAAAAAAH I HOPE HE STILL HAS HIS GEM
Maybe they didn't show it because it's turned to be in the position of Pink Diamond instead of Rose Quarts, This showing that everything has kind of come full circle with everything. Also I'd like to see Steven's powers get stronger with him having this orientation of his gem and how strong his mother actually was after this episode.

If Connie can lift Steven, and White Diamond can’t even touch Steven...
Connie > White Diamond
This checks out
Seems legit
Bruh u got it all wrong Connie > all the diamonds
More importantly, DID CONNIE GET A HERNIA FROM LIFTING UP STEVEN LIKE THAT?!?!?!
No no no no it’s Connie>all the diamonds fused
The biggest plot twist of Steven Universe is that the main character... is himself
Only in this show could that be seen as new info and not a Captain Obvious type statement
The Biggest Plot Twist for me is that Blizz the Glaceon is a Boy. Keep in mind that he has a Feminine Look at the Creator calls him "Baby." Something that you would say to a Girl...
I mean he was pushed up the whole episode to be Rose at all, he wasn’t seen as Steven.
Well, the show is named after him.
(Please don't woooosh me)
Steven is actually... STEVEN!
*shocked face*
Anyone else realise that when Steven gets his gem back we never got to see it through out the rest of the episode? Is it because it went back to its original position and Rebecca wanted to keep it a secret until the movie?
John El Ghoussain exactly what i was thinking
I've considered this as well, but it would only reinforce the "Steven is Pink" train of thought even though this episode establishes that he really and truly isn't. However, if Rebecca Sugar decided to return it back to Pink's position I'd be for it. It'd feel like a homage to his mom.
Guys, the gem changed shape while pink Steven was forming. Went from original pink diamond place to rose quartz place to Steven's body. It's the regular rotation
*sees familiar, everyone stating that Steven is a princess*
*sees that a Disney animator animate a change your mind scene*
I think Disney now wants Steven. everyone, prepare for another war.
well...a FORMER animator
But the way how steven was spinning it was so familiar
if disney got steven universe there would be no huge haituses
What I liked the most is that amethyst needed a longer dose of the white mind control light than pearl and garnet since she’s the most mentally resolved gem compared to the two and even was trying to fight it off before losing.
And when I saw the gem version of steven I remembered the video that Rose made for Steven/Nora. That she’ll love every moment she’s him. And there might’ve been a moment it could’ve been either pink or rose but since rose decided to give up herself of course it would just be steven. It just shows how much she really loved him and how serious she was in her decision. I seriously thought that in all the times she sucked as a mom to steven even while being “dead” this is the first time she had his back. Or his other self if you will. It was super emotional for me if anything.
Jo-Ann Medina De Jesus it all makes sense now!
Still wondering if they can't interact with her via her Room, since Storm in the Room!Rose seemed awfully independent for a simulation...
@@DonaldWWitt I think that they can. I think that Rose is still in Steven's gem-Pink and Rose both are-but she wants Steven to feel independent from her and her consequences, so she let herself be Steven, maybe?
i thought that was just her willpower resisting
If every Diamonds were perfect,we wouldn't have a Rose Quartz.
WE WOULDN'T HAVE STEVEN
Damn, that was smooth
We would have, but not *the* rose quartz and steven
I mean Pink did create the rose quartzes
Change rose quartz to Steven, cause rose is a effing a hole
If every every Steven was perfect, we wouldn't have Steven universe
I choose to belive that Peridot and Lapis were watching anime on Earth and that's where they got the ideas.
Seems logical 😂😂😂
This makes me happy
I mean do you really think there is any way that Peridot is not a weeb? You know good and well that she has been forcing Lapid to binge watch SHounen
Yes.
You forgot Garnet and on that note
Passionate combining Garnet Lagann. Just who the hell do you think we are.
I am going to point out something that most likely other people have already noticed. BUT, remember when Rose Quartz left that video for Steven and she says "I'm going to become half of you." it seems like Pink Steven is the result of that. So Rose wasn't speaking metaphorically, it was literal. Pink Steven says "She's gone." and she is. Pink Steven is Rose, transformed into Steven's other half. The split screen when Steven's gem reforms into Pink Steven is proof of this. Pink Steven may be the representation of everything Steven inherited from his mother. Particularly her powers since he's so OP. I think that Pink's/Rose's personality may have been written over with Pink Steven. This leads me to a theory, I learned from experience but when you re-record over a VHS tape you can sometimes see shadows of the thing you recorded over. For a more detailed explanation of this phenomenon watch Captain Disillusion's video of the Disney Park Ghost. Anyway, I think that the gem is basically a storage device, holding the gem's personality, knowledge, etc. Like a VHS tape (although definitely more advanced). So if the gem is passed on to another person, then the gem gets rewritten with the new person's personality and knowledge. However, the ghosts of the original gem holder's memories remain. That's why Steven has those flashbacks. I think the proof of this theory is the fact that the video for Steven is on a ( drum-roll please ) VHS tape! Kind of a lame theory but hey, it's a theory.
Not Dumb! It's very valid and with all the use of VHS throughout the show that may, in fact, be the case.
It just a theory a STEVEN THEORY
Also from the same episode from the VHS tape
I didn't that that this quote
"Whenever you love yourself, Its just me loving you" Would be taken seriously in this episode.
I love this theory! Great job! It's a very valid idea! ☺
The she's gone line happened for a reason, people are missing the point. Pink Steven is Stevens physical gem half, not rose, nor pink, Steven. That gem decided to form as Steven only. It's also a physical representation of half of a gem, that's why it's all glitchy and unstable
Pink Steven's "SHE"S GONE!!!" made my heart leap, it was so good. I had never heard him sound so angry, and there was a like a growl in his voice.
The Venetian Harper the pure power of his gem. i was shook- as was white diamond lol.
Zach is an amazing voice actor
“She’s gone...” “What did you say?...” “She’s... GOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!...”
Makes me wonder how powerful Steven really is. He's soft-hearted, not even wanting to hurt his enemies, plus his relative inexperience, makes me think, if he ever lost control or his temper, he could do some MAJOR damage. I don't think White Diamond's shock was because of Gem Steven's outburst, but by the power of his outburst.
and she choose you and now she's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
RIP headphone users!
Pink Steven is the most powerful gem because he can say "be GONE *THOT*" really powerful

Obsidian was basically a reference to Kali, the many armed Hindu goddess of destruction and motherly-love. Weird combination of mythological themes, but very appropriate for Steven Universe.
Actually, that combination makes perfect sense. Have you seen how fiercely animals will protect their young? They will rip you apart, (destruction,) to protect their children. (motherly love.)
I though she was tefeti😶
@@jcruz6724 As a Islander this offends me. You never know what's real and what's not. But in your logic, Kali isn't real either
@@nctwayv9206 I'm sorry, Didn't mean to offend. I'll go delete it
@@jcruz6724 no need. Let him melt.
When garnet is herself she's very neutral. Because ruby and sapphire are both opposites so they fuse and make a neutral fusion. But when garnet fuses with others, they are more like that other gem garnet fuses with. Because they are the gem that tips their balanced scale. That's why sardonic is more elegant like pearl. Why sugalite is more brash like amathyst. And why sunstone is more optimistic like steven.
"Sardonic"
Sorry, I couldn't help laughing a little at that.
Honey Sardonic means Sarcastic edit your comment
ah good point
Makes sense! 😺 That is a very good point.

The white diamond showdown was the darkest I've seen the show since Garnet and Steven first encountered forced fusions
Plus, Pink Steven screaming she's GOOOOOOOONE was so jarring. So much anger and raw power with the emotionless face. Terrifying and jarring. An extreme contrast to Steven's usual bubbly self and his expressiveness.
Not gonna lie, I got scared. That really made my heart race too fast, they needed to chill. I was sweating during that whole interaction, and when White pulled his gem out I couldn't deal yo.
I thought it was a Dragon ball z reference
@@deanmg3001 I def got heavy vibes of that
Pearl: You won and she chose you and she loves yo and-
Crystal Steven: shES GOOOOOOONE
Ange Fox it’s over isn’t it why can’t I move on
good one
I've seen it the other way, too=
White Diamond: What did you say? Answer me!
Pink Steven (as Pearl singing "It's Over, Isn't It?): 🎵She's goooooooooone🎵
Pink Steven yelling "she's gone" made me think of the It's Over Isn't It line "she chose you and she loved you and she's gone." In the echo of the whole "she's gone" thing you can hear Lion's roar, which also made me think of Bismuth saying something like "roar back at them in their language."
You'd not BELIEVE how many videos there are of Pearl singing that song and replacing that line with Pink Steven's shout, or vice versa. It's GREAT
When I saw Steven Hugging and "Fusing" with himself I instantly thought *Disney* 13:19 Knew it
Awesomeness 235
Ney... Disney was found *SHATTERED*
yeah, it was the way gem steven did those big stumbly jumps and steps that got me
James Baxter animated it.. he's done stuff for Disney before.
Yup also nice natsu Profile pic
I LITERALLY said out loud "Since when did this become a disney movie?"
8:22 interesting thought about Yellow and blue getting White'd. Moments before that happened Steven said "We can come up with a plan to help everyone, you can start with Yellow and Blue." In whites mind she did help them, she made them perfect, they where now also White Diamond.
Steven's split vision was just like the Cookie Cat design, half pink-half white.
O:
Omg that is so true
Well if you think about it cookie cat is pink diamond if you think of the song and as rose her colours where pink and white
He left his family behind!
Did you notice that (though we can't hear it), Amethyst says "Hey Sis" to Jasper? It is so sweet and shows just how far their relationship (at least in Amethyst's mind) has come.

Turns out they were pebbles.
I like how they split the screens in half when steven’s gem was removed So we could see it from theire perspective
it was a pretty cool effect, and a nice touch
Its to show that the gem is still steven and not rose or pink. To show that pink and rose really are gone.
And people keep complaining that the show has the Steven's Perspective rule. If the show didn't have and consistently follow this first person limited narrative, that scene choice wouldn't have had nearly as much significance or impact.
Theire? What the fuck kinda spelling is that ....
@@tanleekong3451 Did you space before adding the ellipses? And is that FOUR dots instead of three? What the fuck kind of grammar is that...
This might be way off or just a boring explanation, but during the first conversation with White while she was in the mech, Yellow says that “Your standards are held so high, that it could make a gem crack...” or something along those lines.
Perhaps Pink Pearl just cracked under White’s rules, literally.
I thought about that comment too add that to white saying how shes every color and that pink is the part she trys to surpress the most and the theory of there being a red dimond. So red blue yellow are the 3 primary colors so its only natural to start as an equal basis for them all being the original 3. One day red dimond discovers that the gem she beleaved to be the most perfect of them all is off color and being the dimond/color of passion she takes it to heart personally and comes close to ruining everthing white has made but the problem is resolved before word gets out and a replacement is made which is pink and to prevent the same mistake happening white is much more strict. Now this is where the part about pressure comes in. Pressure is one of the most important things in gem formation irl and With all these rules and pressure being put on the developing pink it causes her to not mature right or maybe makes her a late bloomer so when believed to be ready to be exposed to the ways of colonizing shes exposed to a lot of things during a critical development stage where going back to her red function of passon she develops passon for organic life and not just the gem race like she was intended to
Black Mask nope
Rgb meshed together are black
CMYK mixed on the other hand makes white.
CMYK is how light works. So diamonds are not off-colors.
@@Veralsy That color thing doesnt support your clame of dimonds not being off color lol because white is off color and the show specifically states it as for the other color scheme your talking about i dont care lol u can have that im just doing red yellow and blue because its the three primary and on a separate note white said shes all colors
Does anyone else think that the reason that White Pearl ( originally Pink Pearl) is partially cracked is because she ''cracked'' under the pressure of always needing to be perfect for White Diamond? I'm only thinking that because of how Yellow Diamond said that any gem could crack under such pressure and the only reason they haven't yet is because they're Diamonds (unlike Pearl) when attempting to talk to White Diamond about how they were all feeling, but I could be wrong
Pink Diamond had another tantrum and accidentally lost control of her powers. Pink Pearl was unfortunately standing a little too close to her Diamond, getting traumatized in the process.
One thing you missed was that with Sunstone, her pockets are mismatched in color: one being red, the other blue. This is a reference to Ruby and Sapphire.

SU is probs the show with the most foreshadowing ever. I mean, it’s like every moment, piece of dialogue, and episode was just foreshadowing made to push the story further.
All the way back to "If every pork chop was perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs"
Yep
Sorry, but Bojack. A show where the smallest jokes in the first season can roll into full fledged plotlines three seasons later.
@@89Crono Dude, Cookie Cat song
I know but comparing to Bojack in the foreshadowing game is just not a fair match. Spoilers but theres an entire season where a character is basically being served drugged coffee by an old lady with dementia which is a big twist unless you pay attention to the intro which consistently changes depending on who is living with the main character and what kind of damage or changes have been done to his house. Theirs a scene where Bojack drinks the same coffee and briefly gets a buzz. Cookie Cat is good, but Bojack surpasses Simpsons levels of background details.
Did anyone notice that they didn't show Steven's gem after they came together again. I wanna know if it rotated to look like a diamond. I hope it did
I noticed that. They hid it from us for a reason. Ugh, I'm so curious!
Also noticed how powerful Pink Steven was, I have a feeling it rotated to.
They did show it. Rewatch the scene again in slow motion. It has a faint glow right before Steven appears. It stays the same orientation
When Steven fused with all the crystal gems his gem was the same as all ways and as steven said "I always was me"
@@TheGreatestSpy4life I watched it. And yeah, it's possibly in the same position and in the same orientation when Pink Steven forms, but it's also possible that when they fused back together, it could have changed. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Fräulein Zuckerguss Probably keep them. Releasing them at this point would be cruel
I dunno
whoopsydaizy yea you could tell that they had a entire different life style then normal humans and would have to adjust to fit in even remotely
Likely, if Yellow didn't destroy all of them behind Blue's back.
White may not actually be off color but rather displaying the colors she is supposed to have present within her?
“White Diamond induces an existential crisis on Steven”
(Why did I laugh so hard at that)
Can we talk about Steven's gem? The large, pointy end of the gem is always pointing into his stomach, and when it was removed, he should have had a huge, gaping hole in his stomach.
Rith Trelin which would explain why he would die if it was removed. Since it is a kids show, they wouldn’t be able to show blood or death without resurrection, so the more realistic consequence of him bleeding out and dying instantly didn’t happen because it would be too gorey and depressing.

Does anyone remember in three gems and a baby where garnet thought Steven was a fusion? SHE WAS RIGHT! Also pearl tried to take Steve a gem out. Could this episode be one big episode of foreshadowing?
Not quite. Fusion involves two complete minds. Pink Steven did not possess a complete mind. (And we don't know if Human Steven was exactly complete, either.)
Yes, the way the human and gem interacted was reminiscent of fusion, but remember that human-gem fusions are impossible without Steven present. Something about him makes it possible - something separate from fusion. Something that *enables* fusion.
Alice Mckinney how is Steven s fusion .. I just don’t see it
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT
steven is still technically a fusion... hes not like any other fusion but he is in fact a fusion and cannot exist without both halves.
Steven isn't a fusion. He's his own person.
The Steven that popped out when the gem was removed was the pure light version of him.

My thoughts when I saw Obsidian's weapon.
If Steven's Shield and Pearl's lance form an umbrella, and Garnet's weapon with the Amethyst whip form a kind of giant anchor, what could be the Obsidian weapon?
*A SWORD.*
excuse me wut
It like you fuse two Ring of Blaze and an Ice Blaster into a FrostFire Bow
It’s a spear not lance
Have you never heard of a flail ?
I mean Alexandrite didn't get an original weapon she just cycles through the other fusions. So not too surprising Obsidian's weapon doesn't build off all of them.
When the Stevens ‘refuse’ it mimics the first time we saw ruby and sapphire fuse to form garnet in jailbreak
Exactly what I was thinking
It kinda shows how Steven and his mother together make up just Steven, just like Ruby and Sapphire make up Garnet. Their own beings.
Pumpkin Pixie yup!
Pumpkin Pixie That wasn't his mom, though. Unless you mean in the same way that genetically you're your mother and father..?
Pinks code was repurposed to be her half of Steven's DNA - it's only Steven. A few fragmented memories would be normal, since we know Gems use code... if I delete a file on a computer it can be recovered, but after awhile the file will be over written bit by bit, so recovering it will eventually be distorted or downright unreadable/unrecognizable. This would be Steven's distorted memories of Pinks. The majority was overwritten at his birth, and the tiny bits that are left are slowly being overwritten with his code/data and memories.
whoopsydaizy I really like your analogy and your code concept. It’s interesting, and makes sense.
However, I feel like Pink and Rose still exist in the gem, because the gems still have their previous forms, as seen when they regenerate. And when we went into Pearl’s gem, we were able to see her in different states: at all of her different forms. And just like Steven was able to see Pearl’s memories at different times of her life while in her gem (and had to keep going into all her forms to get to the one when she was Pink’s pearl), I think that Pink’s/Rose’s memories are still in the gem, and that’s why he keeps having dreams of them.
Whether or not she could properly form? Well… I don’t know that. But I believe she still exists in Steven’s gem, just like there were many Pearls inside Pearl’s gem. But I don’t think he’ll ever be able to meet her. Unless Pink and Rose can control the room in the temple, as well, and project themselves through that.
Guys, remember how Gem Steven was walking on air for a second while moving out of the crater? Do you also remember how gems controlled by White can glide around with no need of touching the ground? OG Steven and White could both show more expression and move more naturally than their weird counterparts. So what's the point? Steven is the host, not his gem. He was never defined by his mother's legacy as PD or Rose Quartz, it was always Steven who fixed everything, not Pink.
Steven needs Pink, but isn't Pink. He needs what's left of Pink, but not to latch onto. He needs the Pink diamond, not Pink's legacy. Why? Because Steven Quartz Universe is his own legacy, in control of his own gem and his own destiny.
nonexistent well said
Man, that scene of walking on air. That gave my sister and I such "Atlantis" vibes. We even said it at the exact same time as we watched it. XD
This episode was not only so shocking and had so much going on. Where do I start, for starters can we talk about how emptionless the gem half of Steven is without the human half? It was literally just raw power. It needs steven as much as he needs it and that is amazing.
Is anyone suspicious that there is no black diamond. The hardest and therefore strongest of all diamonds. Season 6 theory.
WRATH2501 boi
The creator of gemkind
I think that would be the fusion of the diamond authority :)
And I REALLY hope we get to see it!
Another diamond theory, backed up by gemological facts...
Pink diamonds get their color from intense pressure. They don't contain "impurities" like yellow or blue ones.
Pink and White's gems have the same cut.
What if Pink was supposed to be another White but was subjected to too much pressure during her formation? And White's blush is a sign of her crumbling under the pressure put on her by her own pursuit of perfection?
One of my favorite lines was when Yellow was crying and telling Blue to stop using her powers. It felt like it would be what their verson of the "it's raining" line Mustang says in Fullmetal Alchemist.
@Rubai_Sora It was a very touching moment. I was able to figure out what she was saying as soon as she said "Stop," but it was very good to see her finally realizing that she has feelings and it is okay to have them.
Just like how in SpongeBob, there's always a "My leg!" In almost every episode. There's always someone T-Posing in almost every episode of Steven Universe.

A couple things, first the forced gem fusions in yellow’s room bring back the theory that she was experimenting with fixing broken gems in hopes of fixing pink one day. Second, I don’t think the gems cured of corruption will keep the scars from corruption. I just think it was to show that the healing process took time and wasn’t done all at once.

I loved every part of this episode except when steven forces the gems to reform through fusion. I feel like the series set out fusion to be something massive and I liked how every fusion in the series felt developed and worked on, each having they're own episode dedicated to them. But rainbow quarts 2.0, sunstone and obsidian felt like they were just thrown in there to satisfy the fans. I'm really hoping season six puts more effort into breaking down these fusions and putting more detail into them.
i keep replaying the scene of the steven halves reuniting because it's so emotional and i keep crying every time and the animation is absolutely beautiful and everything about is just b e a u t i f u l i just cant soB-

personman27 // randoblando not your idea,Many people already said that PewDiePie reference.
I am in love with Rainbow Quartz 2.0
Oh and Lapis and Peridot's new forms.
I believe paridot's new look is heavily inspired by pearls, amethyst and garnets old costumes. I also think that the reason she has so many stars on her is because she is definitely a crystal gem now
I think this episode reveals another reason on why rose was so keen on having steven. He was the only person in this shows universe that could have convinced white. If it was any other gem/human hybrid, white wouldn't have cared enough to listen, but since steven was part diamond, she cared enough about it to engage, and if it was still rose, she wouldn't have been able to back white into a corner and convince her. Steven was a necessity for ending this whole conflict.
I don't think Rose cared, she just wanted to be human and that was never possible, so she gave up her consciousness and fused with Greg to make a baby which was the second best thing. She explicitly states how she is a part of Steven, but that Steven will be his own person.
I highly doubt Rose planned it all out.
Oscar Gonzalez Im with Oscar on this one. Rose wouldn’t have planned it out, I actually think she wanted Steven to not have to deal and bear the responsibility of all of that. He pretty much had no choice though. I think Rose underestimated how much Blue and Yellow would care as they were ignoring her for a while while they were busy colonizing planets.
One thing you missed.
When White Diamond was stating Blue Diamond’s flaws, her gem is drawn wrong.
I saw it
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THAT XD
I saw it
where
omg i thought i was the only one
All this temptation for pink Pearl and we get 1 and a half lines...... Thanks Rebecca
and the Jades
She’s the main antagonist for the movie I think if you go back and listen to the movie trailer you’ll hear her laughter
Wait for more episodes....
Simba The King protagonist is the main character. Did you mean antagonist?
Natalie Pullman yesssss
You forgot that the new design on garnet’s chest is the lesbian flag.
Ocean Tea it’s the bisexual flag, not lesbian I think
Ocean Tea Gracie may, both of you are wrong lol...its just two halfs of a star
Blue. At 11:00 stop it when she’s falling midair, she had blue and purple on her waist/abdomen. It’s the bisexual flag. Or just google her new reform, it’s there.

Jesus fucking Christ, why do I get the feeling you don't yap about sexuality in a kids show when it's about heterosexual couples? You make it seem as if they are having full out sex on the show, chill a little.
I mean child media is full of references to heterosexual couples being in sexual relationships and I didn't turn hetero from watching those, so I don't think anyone will be "converted" to gay by seeing a design that maybe could be interpreted as a reference to a gay flag.
That ain't a lesbian flag it's just the colour of ruby and saphire
Lapis new form has Golden/Yellow details,making a reference to the fact that real life Lapis Lazuli has gold on it.
Coo right?
Omg i was wondering why she had random gold
A small detail but I noticed on the bottom left corner when Biggs reformed the Nephrites kissed and one said (mouthed) "I love you" I just thought I would point that out for people who didn't notice.
there was also the scene with Amethyst swimming over to Jasper, who as you all remember is a mess of emotions having been brought about by her seeming abandonment issues: having failed in protecting her own mother Pink Diamond. Having abandoned by her extended family the Famethysts who she disowned for not being as perfect as she was due to not fitting in with the Homeworld ideals and having little idea about what kind of individual their mother Pink Diamond really was due to Yellow Diamonds' efforts to erase her existence to move on. Abandoned by Homeworld itself due to not seeing or hearing of any rescue attempts to save her and completely unaware of the Ruby Squad. Being rejected by Lapis who she had developed a case of Stockholm Syndrome for due to their time fused as Malachite. And having gathered together an army conscripted of Corrupted Gems to face off against the Crystal Gems that had taken nearly everything that she had cared about away from her, only for Steven and Amethyst to fuse into Smokey Quartz and the resulting fight breaking them out of their cages and having Jasper make a last-ditch effort to beat them by fusing with her Corrupted Sister "Snowflake" only for Snowflake to abandon when she got scared of Smokey Quartzs' power.
"Nobody I fuse with ever wants to stay." could take on more meaning when we take out the phrase "I Fuse with" and replace it with "that I Love" to make "Nobody that I Love ever wants to stay."
Back with Jasper and Amethyst, Amethyst approaches Jasper and places a hand on her shoulder to get her attention and says something that Jasper desperately needed to hear that she never knew she needed to know until now, a sense of belonging from a Gem that last she saw was a failure that was her enemy at one point, and these words that are spoken needed no dialogue or subtitles to understand what it was that Amethyst told Jasper only one time before when she was being Corrupted slowly and was poofed.
_Earthlings_ : "C'mere, Sis."
_Change Your Mind_ : "Hey Sis."
I cried
I noticed the kiss although missed the mouthed I love you, that's prescious!
Do you mean the heaven and earth beetles?
@@poemrider they mean the green gals like centipeedle. There's a cluster of three of them in the bottom left talking through out the scene just before bismuth's friend rises up and gets lovingly body slammed by her. :')
I made this comment in another comment section, but I wanted to post it here:
That gemstone has been purged of all emotions. It takes the form of Steven, but it is only a part of him. It was born without a purpose, it was born WITH Steven. The gem and the body split the work load, the gem provides the power, the body provides a way to use that power, therefore a purpose. Pink Steven is raw power, no emotions, or more accurately, no control on how to express those emotions ( which is why his shout had so much power) his shield, while power full, no longer looks like it usually does, because it is the emotions that refine it into its specific shapes. But now all those emotions are in the physical body. When it was being attacked at both sides, it didn’t care if it hurt hurt the others, all it understood was that they are in his way, so he pushed them back. It was heading back to its purpose, to the reason why it exist, to be with the thing that allows him to feel emotions ( which is why it started smiling when it came into contact with its human counterpart)
For Steven's floating powers, why would he want to slow his descent when he's trying to catch the gem's from falling?
One thing you didn't mention is that White Diamond is referencing the impurities in the other three diamonds that make them their respective colors. Most every gem comes in a colorless form. It is the impurities within the gem that affect which light it absorbs or reflects. There is colorless corundum (called white sapphire). There's colorless beryl (goshenite). Colorless quartz, and so on. All of these are the base minerals that define the gem: Carbon, aluminum oxide, beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate, and silicon dioxide, respectively. A diamond is made up of one single element: Carbon. It is carbon in its purest, hardest, most perfect form. But add another element, and the diamond changes color. Yellow Diamond has nitrogen in her gem. Blue Diamond has boron. Neither are pure, perfectly structured carbon. And Pink Diamond? Well, she's an enigma. No one knows for certain what makes a diamond pink or red. It could be the pressure of formation changed the crystalline structure so it only reflects red light. It could be an unknown impurity. SU implies that it's the pressure that makes Pink Diamond who she is. Most gemologists believe that pink and red are pressure sourced, and that pink and red diamonds are still pure carbon. This would explain why Pink's gemstone is identical in shape to White's, yet she still has a near-opposite personality to White. But regardless of the cause of that pink hue, White Diamond sees any color in a gem as indicative of an impurity; as a flaw. Even if no one else sees "impurities" as flaws.
White drove out the primary colours in her (pertaining to yellow, blue and red) but she failed with Red thus Pink was created. An off-colour. That's why White blushed a Pink colour too, it's because she still had some faint red (pink) in her.
I love the part where steven and pink steven hug it just feels so clean
Sadsalamander 96
That’s because it was Steven’s first ‘official’ hug with his mom
BECAUSE DISNEY HELPED WITH STEVEN UNIVERSE
@@bump_bandicoot6829 thats not his mom thats himself his mom deleted herself
@@flamethekid "deleted" 😂
flamethekid
But it’s still her gem tho, so if you squint at it... then maybe you could see it my way... but who really cares. It was just a great scene XD
The scene when Steven fuses with himself gave me studio Ghibli vibes. Also, now that I think about it, he mentioned how Lapis and Peridot's new forms where similar to Guren Lagan's clothing, and that there may be more SU coming, so if they fuse will they look like him?!
Blast Radius I frickin hope so haha!! That would be pretty epic

gregoo That wasn’t entirely necessary.
This episode was fantastic...
Easily my favourite episode of all time...
It's amazing how they absolutely DESTROYED expectations and just.... Oh my god...
The fanservice is impeccable; the fusions, the White Diamond scenes, the new outfits, LARS, *OBSIDIAN* !
I have no idea how season 6 will ever begin to top this but damn it's gonna be good!!!
*OBSIDIAN* IS EVERYTHING NOW!
Ugh the fanart flood of Rainbow Quartz 2.0 and Obsidian is gonna be epic!
Lolar Moon YAS
I'm afraid the sixth season will never top this one. They have completed all the major conflicts and problems in the plot. What is left? Cluster? Come on. Who will be afraid of the Cluster now? He already broke out once and instead of destroying the Earth, he defended it. In addition ... he peacefully returned to his bubble. The plot is empty now. I would be fine if they ended the show on this.
@@feodaron89 Supposedly the sixth season will involve another alien threat that threatens both humans and gems making all of them work together to overcome it.
@Arcanum Elite Seriously? For some reason, I thought the plot would work in this exact direction. I would like to see these aliens. Gems frankly is not the most friendly intergalactic empire ... all these "colonization" and destruction of organic life. I suppose they just never met a civilization at the same technological level. This will be a good lesson for them. I can already see Steven working as an ambassador for a peace settlement.
I wanna see how jasper reacts when she knows that Steve is pink diamond. 😎😎😎😍😍😍😮😮😮😐😲😲😲😒😒😥😥😥😭😭😰😰😨😨😱😱
Oof she probably gonna beg for mercy knowing she tried to kill her diamond
Yea and ARMY
Steven is not pink diamond, pink diamond is GOOOOOOOONE
Jasper redemption arc! Jasper redemption arc!
I want that to be in season 6!!!
At least we know how white pearl lost her color.
Pilot Episode:
Steven - “This Clown Is Gonna Save Your Butts”
*5 Seasons Later*
Yellow's face when she sees jasper going to steven be like touch him and you die
Haha I saw that too!
Yellow was probably thinking, "EXCUSE THE FUCK OUTTA YOU, JASPER, BUT JUST WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA DO TO MY BOY?! I WILL SHATTER YOU SO HARD YOUR ENTIRE VEIN OF QUARTZ GETS TUREND TO DUST!!" at first, and then, "That's what I thought," when she smiled
Okay but am I the only one wondering how White Diamond knows what a child is? There are no gem children, and apart from Pink Diamond, Homeworld gems tend not to pay much thought to organic life, soooo...
Probably the same way they know how to speak English 🤔
Seriously. That threw me off too.
@@jbark678 good point
It makes sense to me actually.
White Diamond already knew about the whole Pink Diamond mystery, she's well aware about everything including what led Pink to create Steven (she never truly understood what he was though) she comes off as more knowledgeable than any gem, she could've been watching very closely and just picked up concepts like child.
Gloomy Fish she also knew what a mom was
All hail the avocado space dorito
All hail the avocado space dorito

She's beauty. She's grace. She's a Dorito from outer space
@@MercyVale it rhymes, so it must be true
You're all a bunch of clods.
I don’t think you needed to cover this but i love how Connie carried Steven to his gem self. I think this shows how much their friendship has grown and how strong they’ve become together
Pretty sure Snowflake was the giant black and white gem that looked a Hell of a lot like, I don't know, a Snowflake Obsidian? The aqua quartz was an Ocean Jasper.
I was thinking that too. Not sure why Snowflake would look like a Jasper, when Snowflake is Obsidian. Just because Snowflake and Biggs were first mentioned in the same episode, doesn't mean they were the same two gems from Gem Hunt. Also, where's Crazy Lace? Is she still missing, or possibly shattered and used in the Cluster?
That pufferfish one was watermelon tourmaline
Diana Cavendish crazy lace jasper was the multicolored quartz one
@@DannyArangoV Crazy Lace is a type of Agate though.
Diana Cavendish right agate my bad
*Sun stone = Suction Cup Man*
Look at em go
You can't kill suction cup man! *LOOK AT ME GO*
The sun x suction cup man x picardia
*hell yeah*
I don't do it for gems or money! I do it cause its fucking funny!
12:28 I was getting more Other Mother vibes from White, but Yzma is cool too.
When they all went pale, I put on the video I watched that I got Coraline vibes
You're so right!
Same, right? Diamond eyes are button creepy, tho
Same!
I'm not alone!!
