Lapis is unironically broken LMFAO, to the point where she had to be out of the story in various moments exactly because she would've made it incredibily easy to beat most opponents. Definetly the strongest crystal gem besides Steven. It might partially be due to her being an era 1 Lapis, era 1 gems are NOTICEABLY stronger than their following counterparts "ex: Peridot is an era 2 gem if i'm not mistaken, which makes her weaker than era 1 Peridots (hence why she needed to use augmentations), and Lapis easily clapped two era 2 Lapises by herself in SU Future".
I mean If theres an enemy only lapiz can beat they can always fuse into gems way stronger than lapis. Most of steven universe enemies only arent beat super easily bcs the cristal gems are a mess most of the times and dont go all out for some reason. Like even against lapiz they didnt use a bunch of powers and never fused
@@oilalalabla9211If my enemy can imitate my every move, I won't use my ultimate move either (except if I find her weakness or know I can finish her in one move/ surprise attack)
It is wild how strong Lapis is compared to other Lapis’s like she truly is able to hold her own especially being able to hold down the diamonds or Steven. We all know Steven is the strongest one tho as he does have the powers of pink diamond.
@@cookiemoon94The diamonds are too, tho, they're probably some of the oldest gems in the franchise. I don't think the race was struggling for resources when they were first created.
Don't forget that lapis lazuli's created to destroyed planets and rebuilded. So they are powerful in average. And lapis lazuli is more powerful than average. Even if you notice that the fluids from the homeland have been exhausted so that they cannot use it and thus their strength is weakened
@@GarryDumblowski I daresay Diamonds are still stronger than Lapis in terms of gem potential. It's just that Lapis's exertion of her powers through hydrokinesis is way more practical than what the Diamonds (minus steven) have control over. I'd like to assume all gem abilities originate from a fraction of their origin diamonds'. It's just that the potential of the diamonds themselves are so vast, the diamonds don't know their full capacity yet. Probably why we saw all the diamonds suddenly find out all sorts of new avenues to takr their powers in SU:F, and why Pink Diamond seemed to have two polar sides to her powers: Extreme offense and defense.
I really wanted to see lapis have an episode where she interacted with the main gems, especially pearl, pearl is really the only one who she never shared any dialogue with, she decently interacted with garnet and amethyst but never pearl. Their interactions would range deeply from potential friends to one sided hatred/triggering, lapis was trapped in pearls head for ages and could make an argument That roses War is the reason she got trapped in the mirror to begin with, with pearl calling out lapises tenacity to lash out and her opinions on fusion, but both could also bond over their traumas, relationships to Steven, and self doubts of weaknesses could even help eachother be stronger
Lapis 100% deserves 2nd. She not only controlled the entire ocean WITH a cracked gem, but she maintained her whole form with only her eyes and wings being shown to be defective until healed. She also held Jasper, the best quartz to emerge on earth, in a fusion for months before losing it. Jasper even said to Steven that she's the brute in the boat episode. To add, she definitely could've clapped those other two Lapises but she saw Steven was dissapointed by this and quit. (Ik some of this was said in the video I just wanted to say all this bcs I love Lapis sm)
With a cracked gem, A CRACKED GEM, she stole the ENTIRETY of the Earth’s oceans and built a massive tower while simultaneously holding off the crystal gems, all while having a cracked gem
I personally believe Lapis was a perfect Gem, having a perfect exit hole, just like Jasper was a perfect Quartz soldier. She was also shown to be extremely creative in her powers. When she fought the other Lapis’, they say she taught them new things. They only used water scythes in the fight, whereas Lapis used buzzsaws, chains, and clones. One of the reasons she was written as having so much baggage was to get rid of her. They couldn’t have someone of her strength around, otherwise she would’ve one shot every opponent. So, they gave her severe PTSD.

In practice, her ferrokinesis is very weak, she was struggling in all of her major feats and she doesn’t seem to be able to articulately manipulate objects heavier than tin cans.

Peridot has greater durability than that. Remember Kindergarten Kid? Where Peridot tanked several Loony Tunes hits including a boulder? That Garnet was able to poof her is more of a credit to Garnet's strength.
My interpretation of how Garnet's future vision worked in combat is that it was sort of a passive buff that let her act almost like an NBA point guard, directing traffic during a battle because she can see what's about to happen. This is supported by the season 1 episode "Arcade Mania," when Pearl and Amethyst get overwhelmed by the little starfish enemies and wish that Garnet was there to tell them where they were coming from. Also in that episode, she used her electric powers to turn on an arcade game which had been unplugged, just to throw that in there.

Haven't been interested in any of the recent videos but clicked on this one. It's not that I only want to watch powerscaling videos or anything, I'm just not a Hazbin or TADC fan.
I was not expecting this to actually be accurate, most of the time I see people powerscaling Steven Universe they get a lot of things wrong. Good video ! Other examples of Garnet being tied to electricity would be when she blocks Holly Blue's whip without even using the gauntlets and when she oneshots a fusion of gem shards to save Steven and Peridot.
9:40 it might also be a thing with era 1 lapis having a bit more resources to bake than the other ones. Though we don’t know if they’re era 2 either, or even if Peridots claim about era 2 gems was even true
As we've seen with the meat shaking arcade game, Garnet's future vision would actually prove incredibly useful in battle as she can predict simple moves and counter immediately.
But blues power did have an effect on Connie, you can see this after lapis shows up and Connie goes down with the rest of the group before lapis chains blue
Ok, now we need one ranking like this but including fusions (Alexandrite, Obsidian, Sardonyx, Smoke Quartz etc and pretty much every fusion that envolves one of thd crystal gems) and Ruby and Saphire
round of applause for that last entry and for all of you guys here so many years after the show, ik loved it growing up and its so cool to be able to look back and talk about it with like minded ppl
You have to love Steven as a concept even more when you realize that Homeworld was like wait WTF this squishy organic thing that isn’t even a mature member of its species is actually a frickin’ DIAMOND?!?
During the battle with yellow and blue, The 2nd time Connie was hit with blue diamonds emotion aura she did start crying along with the other gems… this was when lapis showed up.. everyone fell but lapis
Connie being stronger than Lion is crazy since lion getting all his powers aside he was shown to take hits that would literally kill Connie (best examples are when they fought Lapis when she stole the ocean and lapis threw lion hard into a rock and when it was fighting that corrupted ocean jasper and he went head on into the gem head and wasnt hurt). Connie is great at fighting an all but sis is just human she is lowkey glass cannon.
In Steven Universe, determining the “most powerful” gem can be subjective, as power can be measured in various ways, such as raw power, abilities, impact, and development of the story. However, a few gems stand out as extremely strong within the series- 1. White Diamond🤍: • Role: Leader of the Great Diamond Authority. • Abilities: White Diamond possesses immense physical strength and can project her consciousness into other beings, effectively controlling them like puppets. Her power is demonstrated through her dominance over other gems and her ability to command respect and fear from the gem empire. 2. Steven Universe (with Pink Diamond’s Powers)🩷: • Role: Protagonist and bearer of Pink Diamond’s gem. • Abilities: As a hybrid of a human and a gem, Steven possesses unique powers that include healing, shield generation, floating, and emotional manipulation. Over time, Steven’s abilities expand to include immense strength, fusion capabilities, and more. 3. Blue and Yellow Diamond: • Blue Diamond💙: Known for her ability to induce overwhelming sadness and emotional manipulation in others, Blue Diamond can incapacitate enemies through her emotional powers. • Yellow Diamond💛: Possesses the power to destabilize and shatter gems with energy blasts, demonstrating significant destructive potential. 4. Obsidian (Fusion of the Crystal Gems)🩵: • Role: Fusion of Steven (or Rose Quartz), Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. • Abilities: Obsidian is a massive and powerful fusion capable of wielding a giant sword, demonstrating incredible physical strength and combat ability. 5. Garnet, a Fusion of Ruby and Sapphire❤️: • Role: Leader of the Crystal Gems on Earth. • Abilities: As a fusion, Garnet is inherently more powerful than a single gem. Her future vision, strength, and combat skills make her a formidable opponent. 6. Alexandrite and Other Fusions: • Alexandrite🧡: A fusion of Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, showcasing combined abilities and increased power. • Other Fusions🖤: Fusions like Sugilite (Garnet and Amethyst) and Sardonyx (Garnet and Pearl) each have unique strengths and abilities. 7. Malachite (Fusion of Jasper and Lapis Lazuli)💚: • Role: A powerful and unstable fusion. • Abilities: Combines Jasper’s physical prowess with Lapis Lazuli’s hydrokinesis, making Malachite incredibly strong but difficult to control.
I just realized something, does that mean that lars now has sonic scream and can create loop holes in space? They NEED to do a lars and the off colors spin off, ASAP!!!
@@Arisxgon lapis was not angry but was deeeeeply worried for steven.... steven was mad angry 😠... Anger of steven really carried him during the battle and also his pathetic condition, no one was trying to attack him..
People saying they dont realized lapis power till SUTF, when SU CRACKED Lapis literally drain and control the whole ocean💀 Edit: she also does that while also making a full water copy of ALL the crystal gems completed with their power, and its implied that she can made multiple of them seing how pearl copy duplicate, all That and when Steven goes up to lapis, her face looks so unfazed and not a singgle sign of struggle, its goddamn crazy, thankfully the later episode they debunked her or else SU and SUTF and SUTM would end so quickly
It's been a long time since you did a Steven Universe Video! Also I think the Diamonds especially White Diamond are very powerful especially how they are all tyrants and White Diamonds even pulled out Steven's Gem. No one else could do it but her. Although all of the Gems are powerful, although I wonder who's the weakest Gem.
It’s not that nobody else can pull out Steven’s gem It’s just that nobody else has tried to and actually committed to it. In the episode, three gems and a baby it is implied that pearl would’ve been able to take Stevens gem if she actually tried
I've been thinking that to Connie gives birth to a girl who also has a gem cut in half that will grow bigger when she gets older and trained by garnet. Some weird virus comes from another galaxy and corrupts the diamonds. Spinel asks for help doing so will require the whole team and some way pink/rose comes back
Now I’m kind of glad Lapis will never fuse with Steven because I’m scared of whatever that would create! (Although it would be pretty easy to get their fusion to calm down by making fart noises)
These rankings a pretty fair overall I'd say, though on Garnet and Sapphire's future vision I would argue we do see it used in fights like when she fights the corrupted gem with all the little drills. It doesn't make her perfect at predicting enemy attacks and an unfamiliar and skilled opponent like her first time against Jasper or Spinel can get the jump on her, but it definitely makes her better than most at predicting and evading attacks. And Sapphire definitely didn't focus much on her own future in the past but she does have some ability to see her own future since she predicts her own shattering at Pearl's hands.
Great video, but I do disagree with most placements, personally my list would be: 9 Connie: While she is really good with the sword, she is still just a human, there are no cool powers, or gem shenanigans 8 Lion: If I had to bet between a human with a sword and a lion, I would normally bet for the lion, and if the lion has powers, then it’s even more one sided 7 Bismuth: In episode 97 Amethyst said she was the weakest gem and, even though she was saying that out of insecurity, if we look at the list of official crystal gems at that point, it’s really believable (except for Peridot who I will mention later), in that same episode she fought with Steven and they were equally strong, why is this important?, because in the next episode Bismuth attacks Steven, it a location she’s known for years, with the better weapon, surrounded by lava that could kill Steven that barely affects her, and with intent of harm while Steven was just using self defence, and she lost 6 Amethyst: remember that I said it was believable that Amethyst was the weakest crystal gems, well let me explain why, first of all she couldn’t do any damage to Jasper while Garnet could out right beat her, Steven was equal to her at the time but, I mean, look at the placement in this list or in the video, he had a glow up, Peridot IS going to be explained please wait and lastly there is 5 Pearl: There has been only one fight between Pearl and Amethyst which was really close, the thing is that Amethyst was raging while Pearl didn’t want to harm Amethyst, and during that fight she didn’t use holograms, there was a point where she could clearly stab Amethyst and decided to kick her, she was also trying to make sure Steven didn’t get hurt, and that fight was equal, aside from what you said about Pearl having more feats 4 Peridot: Now this one is going to be controversial, when I think of advantages Peridot could have in battle I think of 3 things, ferrokinesis the weakest of the three, she has moved a car like you showed but the most impressive thing she has actually done with that is moving the giant pillar in Steven Universe save the light which is officially canon, you can’t really measure exactly how big the pillars are because you can’t see the end of the pit, but it’s not necessary. The second strongest thing I would say she has is her creations: turrets with auto aim, robonoids who I think use AI because they act on their own that can self destruct, shoot lasers or grab stuff, the two really crappy statues-thingies that peridot can use in SU unleash the light, we see her use a broken version of her ship in save the light, which I can believe she can fix up real quick considering she made a mech with missiles, enough toughness to tank a Garnet punch without just exploding, and that mech was also able to throw a car over the horizon, finally there is that EMP she used on warp tour that completely fried like tens of robonoids, the same ones that did not get fried when Pearl made a EMP that shut down the entirety of beach city. Quick stop to mention Peridot can take way more hits than Amethyst for example, Amethyst nearly died because she tripped and fell on a rock while Peridot’s out here surviving a looney tunes cartoon, and most of the gems have similar speeds. But the real reason why I put her so high are the limb enhancers, and I know what you are going to say, she lost them, well, yes, but she got some new ones, in Steven Universe unleash the light you can equip items, only certain types work for certain characters and out of those items, there are limb enhancers which if I remember correctly, she is the only character on this list who can equip them, and at first glance they are not that strong, you can fly, walk on walls, shoot basic laser balls, have flying fingers that can electrocute gems, play fruit ninja, but those are not the real secret weapon, she also has a gravity gun, that gravity gun makes it so that the person shot by that super high speed projectile cannot move, while Peridot can, she can just shoot you with that, fly into space with her opponent and throw them at a black hole or something 3 Garnet: Mountain buster, really fast, really tough, ranged options thanks to the rocket gauntlets, future vision, she can beat Jasper in her own ship while she has a gem destabilizer while Amethyst and Pearl can do nothing against her, the reason I’m putting her above Peridot is because she doesn't need any gimmicks, and always has access to full power, she also beat Pearl and Amethyst in “secret team” 2 Lapis: Can lift the entire ocean, has won against Amethyst, Pearl and Garnet at the same time, she’s so strong that through the rest of the show they had to nerf her 1 Steven: Thanks to future Steven got the kaiju transformation, and it can beat easily all the relevant SU characters at the same time, so this one is the easiest Great video either way, it was really fun seeing some talk about that :)
I thought before that the lazulis were op because of her skill, but it turns out that our lapis is actually a monster even in her own race. Is like the jasper of the quartz but waaaaaaaay more.
I'm shocked you didn't do the other fusions. They are crystal gems hence why they even had their own rooms in the door along with they did a comparison in the room when meeting smokey
I would've swapped Peridot and Connie, it's very clearly shown that Peridot doesn't come with that strength the other gems do, and is around physically the same strength as a human if not only a tiny bit higher, in which Connie makes up with that with her skill and talent.
I can see more SAVAGE potential of Lapis having some type of unlimited amount of control, ever since i watched some reruns of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Here's a hint: 70% of a human body.
lion fought jaspers monster in Crack the whip and seemed to do fairly well also connie had an animation error in reunited where blue's aura affected her
I personally believe Steven being half human makes him stronger, mainly due to him specifically being Pink Diamond. Her powers are linked to emotions, and humans seem to have more complex emotions in general than Gems. Steven himself is definitely more emotional than most gems, making him stronger. If he could master his powers and emotions, and possibly have a Hybrid Monster Form, he could possibly be the strongest Gem. Him having an unstable emotional state allowed him to completely dominate Jasper, a Perfect Gem. Imagine a Hybrid Monster Buffed Pink Diamond Steven, that'd be awesome
You can't forget that Lapis is only powerful if there is plenty of water nearby, since her powers are water control, that is, if there is no water, Lapis is as weak as Peridot, since she does not have super strength and weapons (like the quartz soldiers), super speed and resistance, besides that she is a relatively small Gem, only 1.80 m tall.
lapises in generaly are so broken is because theyre made to destroy worlds for the diamonds as in one of the sequels stated, theyre made to terraform and break down planets!
Honestly, regarding Sapphire and her nobility, it seems like the writers nerfed her future vision. To me, it would make sense that either, her future vision sees clearly into the future as sapphire, or once fused her future vision is enhanced given the nature of fusion. Fusion being only capable when two or more gems have a mutual connection or understanding that strengthens the bond between them in order to fuse.
To be honest, I thought you were gonna place Rose Quartz in the number 1 spot with Steven despite you saying n9 Rose since she's where Steven's powers originated from, but I appreciate the joke.😁
I forgot in Steven universe unleash the light any character In the game can survive the final bosses attack at full hp witch they use a hyper dimensional 12+ beam attack and the games are all cannon so all the crystal gems past season 5 are easily hyperversal lol
I actually would have swapped Steven’s and Lapis’ placements. It is heavily implied that Lapis is the has the strongest magic of any gems (aside from the diamonds) and Garnet is the strongest physically (aside from the diamonds).

Good video ! Other examples of Garnet being tied to electricity would be when she blocks Holly Blue's whip without even using the gauntlets and when she oneshots a fusion of gem shards to save Steven and Peridot.
9:40 it might also be a thing with era 1 lapis having a bit more resources to bake than the other ones. Though we don’t know if they’re era 2 either, or even if Peridots claim about era 2 gems was even true
As we've seen with the meat shaking arcade game, Garnet's future vision would actually prove incredibly useful in battle as she can predict simple moves and counter immediately.
But blues power did have an effect on Connie, you can see this after lapis shows up and Connie goes down with the rest of the group before lapis chains blue
Ok, now we need one ranking like this but including fusions (Alexandrite, Obsidian, Sardonyx, Smoke Quartz etc and pretty much every fusion that envolves one of thd crystal gems) and Ruby and Saphire
round of applause for that last entry
and for all of you guys here so many years after the show, ik loved it growing up and its so cool to be able to look back and talk about it with like minded ppl
10:48 pumpkin wasn’t in the we are the crystal gems scene😂😂😂😂
Cope harder 😊
You have to love Steven as a concept even more when you realize that Homeworld was like wait WTF this squishy organic thing that isn’t even a mature member of its species is actually a frickin’ DIAMOND?!?
During the battle with yellow and blue, The 2nd time Connie was hit with blue diamonds emotion aura she did start crying along with the other gems… this was when lapis showed up.. everyone fell but lapis
2:33 Eustache MID?!?!?! Sir!!!! 😂😂😂 why you disrespecting my mans like that
Connie being stronger than Lion is crazy since lion getting all his powers aside he was shown to take hits that would literally kill Connie (best examples are when they fought Lapis when she stole the ocean and lapis threw lion hard into a rock and when it was fighting that corrupted ocean jasper and he went head on into the gem head and wasnt hurt). Connie is great at fighting an all but sis is just human she is lowkey glass cannon.
In Steven Universe, determining the “most powerful” gem can be subjective, as power can be measured in various ways, such as raw power, abilities, impact, and development of the story. However, a few gems stand out as extremely strong within the series-
1. White Diamond🤍:
• Role: Leader of the Great Diamond Authority.
• Abilities: White Diamond possesses immense physical strength and can project her consciousness into other beings, effectively controlling them like puppets. Her power is demonstrated through her dominance over other gems and her ability to command respect and fear from the gem empire.
2. Steven Universe (with Pink Diamond’s Powers)🩷:
• Role: Protagonist and bearer of Pink Diamond’s gem.
• Abilities: As a hybrid of a human and a gem, Steven possesses unique powers that include healing, shield generation, floating, and emotional manipulation. Over time, Steven’s abilities expand to include immense strength, fusion capabilities, and more.
3. Blue and Yellow Diamond:
• Blue Diamond💙: Known for her ability to induce overwhelming sadness and emotional manipulation in others, Blue Diamond can incapacitate enemies through her emotional powers.
• Yellow Diamond💛: Possesses the power to destabilize and shatter gems with energy blasts, demonstrating significant destructive potential.
4. Obsidian (Fusion of the Crystal Gems)🩵:
• Role: Fusion of Steven (or Rose Quartz), Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl.
• Abilities: Obsidian is a massive and powerful fusion capable of wielding a giant sword, demonstrating incredible physical strength and combat ability.
5. Garnet, a Fusion of Ruby and Sapphire❤️:
• Role: Leader of the Crystal Gems on Earth.
• Abilities: As a fusion, Garnet is inherently more powerful than a single gem. Her future vision, strength, and combat skills make her a formidable opponent.
6. Alexandrite and Other Fusions:
• Alexandrite🧡: A fusion of Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, showcasing combined abilities and increased power.
• Other Fusions🖤: Fusions like Sugilite (Garnet and Amethyst) and Sardonyx (Garnet and Pearl) each have unique strengths and abilities.
7. Malachite (Fusion of Jasper and Lapis Lazuli)💚:
• Role: A powerful and unstable fusion.
• Abilities: Combines Jasper’s physical prowess with Lapis Lazuli’s hydrokinesis, making Malachite incredibly strong but difficult to control.
Shouldn’t Steven be the strongest in here since he basically beat all the diamonds’ power and basically everyone else (even the cluster)
How is Alexandrite weaker than Garnet if it contains Garnet?
@@Pork12555nope by that logic obsidian would be the strongest because it has Steven
Why is garnet above alexandrite and why is malachite not above alexandrite
@@andreveira21 I mean if it was Future Steven then I think yes but original show? No.
I just realized something, does that mean that lars now has sonic scream and can create loop holes in space? They NEED to do a lars and the off colors spin off, ASAP!!!
Even if Connie is 2nd weakest, being ranked as more powerful than an immortal lion is still wild
Lapis was able to hold corrupted steven.....
Corrupted steven >>> Pink steven....
Lapis the goat 💧🗣🔥🔥🔥💯🤫🧏♂️......
Yeah, but only for a little before getting exhausted.
(She’s still the goat though)
@@Bingo_TheShibaInu she has more strenght and has shown ftl ++ speed .....
Lapis wins..🧜♀️
@@ANSHUMANSINGH-v7c 🫡
But lapis could only hold him temporarily
@@Arisxgon lapis was not angry but was deeeeeply worried for steven.... steven was mad angry 😠...
Anger of steven really carried him during the battle and also his pathetic condition, no one was trying to attack him..
THE SHADE AT EUSTASS KIDD, I LOVE IT
USELESS CAPTAIN MIDD
6:46 yeet the triangular gremlin
People saying they dont realized lapis power till SUTF, when SU CRACKED Lapis literally drain and control the whole ocean💀
Edit: she also does that while also making a full water copy of ALL the crystal gems completed with their power, and its implied that she can made multiple of them seing how pearl copy duplicate, all That and when Steven goes up to lapis, her face looks so unfazed and not a singgle sign of struggle, its goddamn crazy, thankfully the later episode they debunked her or else SU and SUTF and SUTM would end so quickly
im so glad you put lapis at #2 she is absolutely terrifyingly powerful its not a lapis ITS THE LAPIS
Steven is like Invincible, if he really stopped holding back everybody would be screwed
It's been a long time since you did a Steven Universe Video! Also I think the Diamonds especially White Diamond are very powerful especially how they are all tyrants and White Diamonds even pulled out Steven's Gem. No one else could do it but her. Although all of the Gems are powerful, although I wonder who's the weakest Gem.
It’s not that nobody else can pull out Steven’s gem It’s just that nobody else has tried to and actually committed to it.
In the episode, three gems and a baby it is implied that pearl would’ve been able to take Stevens gem if she actually tried
@@Arisxgon Wait really?
pumpkin was secretly orange Dimond all along
0:43 So basically Lion's the team mascot???
We need Steven Universe: The Next Generations NOW.
I've been thinking that to
Connie gives birth to a girl who also has a gem cut in half that will grow bigger when she gets older and trained by garnet. Some weird virus comes from another galaxy and corrupts the diamonds. Spinel asks for help doing so will require the whole team and some way pink/rose comes back
“Eustass mid” kid catching strays 😂😂😂😂😂
@@CHILLCARL Agenda Piece is comedy gold under the right circumstances loool
I think lapis and malachite power relies heavily on the environment, but bc like every fuckin scene is near the ocean they're op af
Now I’m kind of glad Lapis will never fuse with Steven because I’m scared of whatever that would create! (Although it would be pretty easy to get their fusion to calm down by making fart noises)
Just make a puppet show, force the fusion to watch it and then make two snails divorce (they will get sad and infuse)
@@Stella_At_Stellar AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES
These rankings a pretty fair overall I'd say, though on Garnet and Sapphire's future vision I would argue we do see it used in fights like when she fights the corrupted gem with all the little drills. It doesn't make her perfect at predicting enemy attacks and an unfamiliar and skilled opponent like her first time against Jasper or Spinel can get the jump on her, but it definitely makes her better than most at predicting and evading attacks. And Sapphire definitely didn't focus much on her own future in the past but she does have some ability to see her own future since she predicts her own shattering at Pearl's hands.
Someone forgot onion
4:58 Espinas' theme on a SU video? Love it 😍
MHR has been consuming most of my free time for the past month looool
@@vgmarkis Same lol
Great video, but I do disagree with most placements, personally my list would be:
9 Connie: While she is really good with the sword, she is still just a human, there are no cool powers, or gem shenanigans
8 Lion: If I had to bet between a human with a sword and a lion, I would normally bet for the lion, and if the lion has powers, then it’s even more one sided
7 Bismuth: In episode 97 Amethyst said she was the weakest gem and, even though she was saying that out of insecurity, if we look at the list of official crystal gems at that point, it’s really believable (except for Peridot who I will mention later), in that same episode she fought with Steven and they were equally strong, why is this important?, because in the next episode Bismuth attacks Steven, it a location she’s known for years, with the better weapon, surrounded by lava that could kill Steven that barely affects her, and with intent of harm while Steven was just using self defence, and she lost
6 Amethyst: remember that I said it was believable that Amethyst was the weakest crystal gems, well let me explain why, first of all she couldn’t do any damage to Jasper while Garnet could out right beat her, Steven was equal to her at the time but, I mean, look at the placement in this list or in the video, he had a glow up, Peridot IS going to be explained please wait and lastly there is
5 Pearl: There has been only one fight between Pearl and Amethyst which was really close, the thing is that Amethyst was raging while Pearl didn’t want to harm Amethyst, and during that fight she didn’t use holograms, there was a point where she could clearly stab Amethyst and decided to kick her, she was also trying to make sure Steven didn’t get hurt, and that fight was equal, aside from what you said about Pearl having more feats
4 Peridot: Now this one is going to be controversial, when I think of advantages Peridot could have in battle I think of 3 things, ferrokinesis the weakest of the three, she has moved a car like you showed but the most impressive thing she has actually done with that is moving the giant pillar in Steven Universe save the light which is officially canon, you can’t really measure exactly how big the pillars are because you can’t see the end of the pit, but it’s not necessary.
The second strongest thing I would say she has is her creations: turrets with auto aim, robonoids who I think use AI because they act on their own that can self destruct, shoot lasers or grab stuff, the two really crappy statues-thingies that peridot can use in SU unleash the light, we see her use a broken version of her ship in save the light, which I can believe she can fix up real quick considering she made a mech with missiles, enough toughness to tank a Garnet punch without just exploding, and that mech was also able to throw a car over the horizon, finally there is that EMP she used on warp tour that completely fried like tens of robonoids, the same ones that did not get fried when Pearl made a EMP that shut down the entirety of beach city.
Quick stop to mention Peridot can take way more hits than Amethyst for example, Amethyst nearly died because she tripped and fell on a rock while Peridot’s out here surviving a looney tunes cartoon, and most of the gems have similar speeds.
But the real reason why I put her so high are the limb enhancers, and I know what you are going to say, she lost them, well, yes, but she got some new ones, in Steven Universe unleash the light you can equip items, only certain types work for certain characters and out of those items, there are limb enhancers which if I remember correctly, she is the only character on this list who can equip them, and at first glance they are not that strong, you can fly, walk on walls, shoot basic laser balls, have flying fingers that can electrocute gems, play fruit ninja, but those are not the real secret weapon, she also has a gravity gun, that gravity gun makes it so that the person shot by that super high speed projectile cannot move, while Peridot can, she can just shoot you with that, fly into space with her opponent and throw them at a black hole or something
3 Garnet: Mountain buster, really fast, really tough, ranged options thanks to the rocket gauntlets, future vision, she can beat Jasper in her own ship while she has a gem destabilizer while Amethyst and Pearl can do nothing against her, the reason I’m putting her above Peridot is because she doesn't need any gimmicks, and always has access to full power, she also beat Pearl and Amethyst in “secret team”
2 Lapis: Can lift the entire ocean, has won against Amethyst, Pearl and Garnet at the same time, she’s so strong that through the rest of the show they had to nerf her
1 Steven: Thanks to future Steven got the kaiju transformation, and it can beat easily all the relevant SU characters at the same time, so this one is the easiest
Great video either way, it was really fun seeing some talk about that :)
I thought before that the lazulis were op because of her skill, but it turns out that our lapis is actually a monster even in her own race.
Is like the jasper of the quartz but waaaaaaaay more.
I'm shocked you didn't do the other fusions. They are crystal gems hence why they even had their own rooms in the door along with they did a comparison in the room when meeting smokey
@@raelbale2065 Would definitely like to do a video about all the fusions (not just crystal gem ones) strengths at some point soon!
Rate every weapon in the series
Strongest fusions vid could be cool
I love gem powerscaling cause we don’t see it very much, so thanks for this as well.
"Pumkin the most broken vegetable Beach City has ever seen"
Peridot is underrated she’s really smart and since the games are canon she can do lift HUGE metal pieces like the size of entire skyscrapers
I love lapis so much she was a very cool character!
Anti Spiral Laughing In The Corner: Amateurs
Hm, fair enough, very nice Video.
I wonder what you’ll rank next?
11/11 great assessment man
I would've swapped Peridot and Connie, it's very clearly shown that Peridot doesn't come with that strength the other gems do, and is around physically the same strength as a human if not only a tiny bit higher, in which Connie makes up with that with her skill and talent.
A Pumpkin that doesnt mold for years is OP as all hell
Solid ranking. Lapis OP for real.
0:58 The episode called "Ocean Gem" Where lapis took the ocean, Lion did at least try to fight water steven 🤷♂️
Can you rank every gem?
I can see more SAVAGE potential of Lapis having some type of unlimited amount of control, ever since i watched some reruns of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Here's a hint:
70% of a human body.
"Cope harder! This is my video! *Mine*" Took me out.
lion fought jaspers monster in Crack the whip and seemed to do fairly well
also connie had an animation error in reunited where blue's aura affected her
Lapis is insane
when stevens gem got taken out by white Dimond i thought that the pink steven thing would be on top
I agree with your final placement
I personally believe Steven being half human makes him stronger, mainly due to him specifically being Pink Diamond. Her powers are linked to emotions, and humans seem to have more complex emotions in general than Gems. Steven himself is definitely more emotional than most gems, making him stronger. If he could master his powers and emotions, and possibly have a Hybrid Monster Form, he could possibly be the strongest Gem. Him having an unstable emotional state allowed him to completely dominate Jasper, a Perfect Gem.
Imagine a Hybrid Monster Buffed Pink Diamond Steven, that'd be awesome
you should make a video ranking all the fusions!!
I'm hoping to have something like that out in early September at the latest :)
@@vgmarkis OHH I CANT WAIT
You can't forget that Lapis is only powerful if there is plenty of water nearby, since her powers are water control, that is, if there is no water, Lapis is as weak as Peridot, since she does not have super strength and weapons (like the quartz soldiers), super speed and resistance, besides that she is a relatively small Gem, only 1.80 m tall.
I think most can agree that Garnet is the best Crystal Gem while Lapis is the terrifying strongest one (Not counting Steven).
It kind of bothers me that Lapis could basically solve all of their problems on her own since she's so ridiculously powerful but doesn't.
To be fair she's not there for half the show. Either trapped in a fusion, on a different planet/moon, or just doesn't want to fight.
@kenshanparchman6838 I know, but they still make her so powerful that she can literally steal an entire ocean
@@User02741 Yeah, and she doesn't lose a fight the entire series besides yellow
never let bro cook again
lapises in generaly are so broken is because theyre made to destroy worlds for the diamonds as in one of the sequels stated, theyre made to terraform and break down planets!
never mind this was mentioned lmao
In Yellow diamond's song..
i would really like a video where you rank all of the fusions and where they would be in this list.
Honestly, regarding Sapphire and her nobility, it seems like the writers nerfed her future vision. To me, it would make sense that either, her future vision sees clearly into the future as sapphire, or once fused her future vision is enhanced given the nature of fusion. Fusion being only capable when two or more gems have a mutual connection or understanding that strengthens the bond between them in order to fuse.
Didn't expect a one piece reference lol, that made me happy
Definitely my favorite ongoing Shonen 👍
@vgmarkis Please make One Piece videos and rankings 🥺
Lapis is a beast. I don't think anyone wants to argue with that.
Lapis is that 1 character in the game that everyone complains needs a nerf
Not to mention their 1 of the hottest looking gems
Pink hologram of Steven left the chat. Only 2 words to end it all- “SHE’S GOOOOOONE!”
10:50 bro it’s Garrett 🗣️🔥 what yall lnow about garrett’s funny animal game?
To be honest, I thought you were gonna place Rose Quartz in the number 1 spot with Steven despite you saying n9 Rose since she's where Steven's powers originated from, but I appreciate the joke.😁
I honestly can’t see any scenario where Peridot beats Lion.
I forgot in Steven universe unleash the light any character In the game can survive the final bosses attack at full hp witch they use a hyper dimensional 12+ beam attack and the games are all cannon so all the crystal gems past season 5 are easily hyperversal lol
i cant even watch a steven universe video without my boy kid being dissrespected😑
I think we all know who is the strongest person on the show. That would be Onion.
Ain't nobody taking about cat STEVEN? HE IS FAR STRONGER THAN ANY OF THE CRYSTAL GEMS!
I actually would have swapped Steven’s and Lapis’ placements. It is heavily implied that Lapis is the has the strongest magic of any gems (aside from the diamonds) and Garnet is the strongest physically (aside from the diamonds).
great video
lion at 9 and connie at 8 is crazy but dot at 7 is wild
If you're a garnet could be one of the strongest warriors in the show but her downfall is her emotions
Can you do a video ranking all Steven Universe character?
