Yes! You reached my favorite character!! Fun fact: I have Lapis’ gem tattoed on my back
omg! i have her gem tattooed on my back, too!! (gem and water wings)
my favorite toooo
Ooh, that's GOOD! Never thought about doing that! (She's my favorite too.)
That's actually pretty cool
That's a pretty dope tattoo concept.
The pain trying to not spoil this made a vein pop on Lucas’ brain
The awkward moment after Steven's playful "No prob, Bob" is so good.
Plus the detail of Steven wiping his hand on his shirt (which I had never noticed before)
Fun fact: Lapis was animated with a smoother frame rate than all the other characters to emphasize her "vibe/aesthetic" and her connection to water. Also, real-life Lapis Lazuli stones DO have a higher molecular water content than most other gemstones do (opals do as well; which is a cool tidbit since Pearl is also associated with water and she's half of the Opal fusion,) so that's an interesting concept for her!
Two things:
1. Pearl said it was a "gem-powered mirror" which means before she was a mirror, Lapis Lazuli was the gem we see upon being free. Since she's a water gem, it's safe to assume she was not meant to be in the mirror in the first place.
2. Pearl also said they found the mirror at the Galaxy Warp. So that means something happened (I won't say what as to not spoil) to Lapis that made her release her physical form and someone put her in that mirror before the Crystal Gems found her.
I was a little worried for a second the royalty free EDM was going to be there for the whole video
Like lmao i had to check if it wasn't my phone playing something in the background
I always assumed Pearl said "I had no idea the gem in the mirror was so powerful" was also because she needed to have a large amount of willpower to stay functionally sentient inside of an object.
Finally! Lapis is my favorite gem of the show, I think that the gems always knew she was trapped in the mirror, but they thought that she was either a corrupted gem like the ones bubbled, or would inmediately turn hostile the moment she was let out, which to be fair, she did, and just kept Steven in the dark like they always do.
Me too i love her
11:58
I can't believe Garnet jumped and roll out of the van because she didn't like the music
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No matter how many times I watch this, it's so conceptually horrifying. To imprison another sentient being like that.......damn.
Lapis is so cool, like just being able to control the entire ocean? badass!
That was with a cracked gem not only that she was beating the gems😭😭
era 1 strong gems 🔥
I appreciate this channel so much. Guy on the left you can tell loves good stories and good animation. I love to see him recognize genius when it happens. He’s the perfect mix of expressive and intelligent. I hope they continue.
This is both the episode where I fully fell in love with the series, and where my favorite character was introduced. I'm so glad you've hit this episode.
Lapis Lazuli is such a good character.
So many questions, that shall be answered only in time! Seeing Alec react to Lapis and her appearance and role in this episode for the first time was awesome, and I for one was just bursting at the seams like Lucas because spoilers!! Lapis is an interesting character, and I think this episode does set up later plot points and what plays out in the show fairly well, but doesn't give too much away. It explores just enough to leave first time viewers wondering what might happen next given everything that's been shown so far.
*[Mid season finale... it's here! Also, congrats for 10k!]*
You again I saw your comment on another vid😮
The turning point, plot bomb, and lore dropped!
10k . Congratulations guys 🎉🎉
*excited bouncing * And now the real lore begins. I have been SO excited for you to finally get through the first half of this season to reach this point. Like, yes, the first half is good! It's a good show even without all of the larger worldbuilding, but now it will become clear why folks say "you have to get through the first bit". It's not that it's bad, just that there's so much MORE.
Also, the foreshadowing they have built into EVERYTHING. Lucas gets to see this now, which is fun. This story was well planned from the jump, but it only becomes clear HOW well planned when you watch it again.
It has some of the best continuity anywhere, even in these "early" parts. You can go back after watching later seasons and see non-verbal reactions from the gems to things Steven says/does, stuff that only makes sense MUCH later. You don't notice these little moments at the time, and you aren't MEANT to, they just happen because... they would react that way. It's SO good, and so consistent. I want to gnaw on it.
Love these reactions, can't wait for more!
For example, in Steven and the Stevens, when the Stevens are jumping through episodes during their fight, the last place they go to before heading back to the beginning of the episode was actually the drained ocean in Ocean Gem.
this was the high point of steven universe to me. Not that later seasons are bad exactly - though they did suffer from some executive meddling. But just that this is when the mysteries were at their deepest and the potential size of the universe felt biggest. Eventually the show needs to start answering the questions it asks. It's particularly rare that an answer can be as compelling as the mystery that it closes, and the more we learn about a setting the smaller that setting will feel.
Aivi & Surasshu on fire with the soundtrack these episodes!
Congratulations! 10k today, the world tomorrow!
We saw how effed up Amethyst was by her gemstone being cracked, and its damage was far lighter than on Lapis's. It may be that some gemstones can take punishment better than others, and when the mirror was first discovered by the Crystal Gems, they may have looked at the heavily cracked gemstone and concluded that the Gem inside was near-comatose or actually dead and that the gemstone was essentially just a collection of gemshards (like those in Frybo and Secret Team) stuck together within the mirror.
That was a huge revelation for Steven--and the audience--that all the monsters they've been fighting and the gemstones kept bubbled inside the Crystal Temple were once Gem beings just like Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Rose Quartz. You might recall in Monster Buddies when Steven accidentally unbubbled Centipeetle, she briefly formed a normal humanoid shape.
Although it was the mid-season one finale, Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem were intended to serve as the SU series finale in case Cartoon Network abruptly cancelled SU in the middle of season one.
This is where things are picking up. Looking forward to everything to come!
What I find really weird about the premise of these episodes is... why would Pearl just give Steven a mirror that could teach him anything about the history of Gems? The three know much much more and are clearly keeping secrets from him, Pearl above all is super duper overprotective. It just feels out of character.
It couldn't teach everything, it could only shown what it has seen, aand it works more like google, if you don't know the keywords to put in you can't go anywhere, plus I'm sure pearl only give him the mirror after seeing that it doesn't work anymore
honestly i count season one as 2 seasons all other ones have around 26 episodes.
while this episodes are heavy on the overarching lore part of the show i think that is better remember that "indirect kiss" and "house guest" are better representatives of the the actual essence of the show
This two-parter is my 100% favorite part of the ENTIRE show. Fave Episodes and the point in which the show actually sells me on its story. I just watched all the reactions so far because I saw you had reached this point. It always happens with SU reactions. I like the show enough but its this point that drags me back in.
Heck yeah, we're getting to the good stuff now! It's very hard to stop binge watching after this point.
I think you would like Bodacious space pirates and The wallflower, could be fun reaction Shows btw.
Great reaction.
Lapis and P. are my favorite gems
Omg yes, your so close to ep 28! I can't wait. Love this reaction btw. It's fun to see someone's first time watching jt
I haven’t really been into Steven Universe in a while, mainly because of the fandom being absolutely feral.
I forgot how cool this show actually was
Great reaction! Lapis is one of my favorite characters!
Be sure to watch the first batch of animated shorts after the season 1 finale (might wanna double check 'em first as i'm not sure of the order)
*Annnnd* when the intro animation changes during season 2 'watch the extended version "We are the Crystal Gems" XD.
Business is about to really pick up.
its legit scary how powerful Lapises are.
Y'all talking about rocks well I know rocks. Lapis lazuli also known as Lazurite is a blue silicate mineral in the sodalite group. It contains a blend of sodium, calcium, silica, and aluminum, plus sulfur atoms. In the real world lapis is not a water gem it's a metamorphic rock, the only two gems you can find in the ocean are pearls and coral. These two are not considered as minerals, they're both organic gemstones meaning they're produced by a living organism.
(7:17) Talk about giving someone the evil eye! If you guys are going to view the rest of the series, I want to be in the audience!
I’m loving all the other comments saying lapis is their favorite gem since she’s mine and the community tends to dunk on her from things in future episodes. This is where I feel in love with the show and she has remained my favorite next to another character I kind speak more of right now. Keep up the good work guys the show only gets better from here.
sapphire..... I won't give details haha......
I did in fact like and subscribe and I agree with the top 10 ranking of this episode. Lapis is best girl and I love her
Oh I can't wait for more. glad you're reacting, and I'm so excited for more! Can't subscribe again since I'm already subscribed but keep it up!
7:16 *Your gamemode has been updated to survival*
One of my favorite gems! Still can't beat their future roommate though.
Lapis is one of my top five cartoon crushes.
I see that 10k
13:56 i feel like the writers got too carried away whit Lapiz power and had to nerf her later on
BIG SPOILERS AHEAD
I wouldn't say they nerfed her that bad
I mean they didn't reuse the water clones she used to fight the crystal gems this episode, but she was able to just trap Jasper while forming Malachite for A WHILE, then she basically didn't use her power for fighting, just to scape earth and stuff, but I mean he was a bit traumatized with the whole "I was trapped in the ocean for months, in darkness and constantly fighting". But then she managed to like go up against Blue (her mental health was so bad not even Blue could hurt lapis and that's so funny to me for some reason) and they never said she was weak
She even had that one episode in SUF where we see that even if other Lapis Lazulis are quite powerful, she's like, sheesh
@@Fawn_underscore Also spoilers
yes, Lpis was still very powerfull, but based on what we saw on this episode she could have made gigant water soldiers to fight the diamonds, or grab the entire ocean and crush them under it's weight. Lapis could also have easly beaten Jasper by making multiple copys of them, or surounding them in water and trowin them into space.
@@tadeolaguarda6965 yeah that's true, they watered her powers down lmao
But yeah I can see it now that you've said those examples
Let's be real guys everyone loves lapis lazuli even reactbynight said she so gorgeous
Yeah, lapis ain’t no sapphire just wait till you see what a real sapphire is
Lucas face when Alec said said sapphire for lapis
Lapis my ptsd queen 💙✨️
Not spoiling must be really hard, I would have started screaming into a pillow after he mentioned [spoilers Ahead!]
Stevens Mom and Sapphire, and that's not even taking into account all the stuff about Lapis Lazuli!
Stay strong...
Okay this embarrassing, I forgot your names...
We have finally hit the plot snowball. It's gonna be so much fun!
Wooo were halfway of season 1. Can’t wait for more episodes
Garnet got slapped by steven and lapis😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You know now that I rewatch Steven universe it's dark like idk if I should have watched this as a kid dark and I watched happy tree friends as a kid
Congrats on 10k!! 😊
16:30 I don’t think they’re in space here, I think it’s just night time. They’re around some clouds so I guess it’s like the stratosphere?
Guess I'll catch up tonight ~
7:16 Why is his mouth yellow?
7:17 not to be rude but her face terrifies me
Hey wait a second. I just noticed. I've got the same chair. Minus the gloves.
hmm sapphire....
Good Show
Damm good reactions Guys
Yes!!!
I need more Steven Universe!!!
I think this one wasn't added to the playlist? I was using the playlist and thought "oh no, it skipped 25 and 26!" but it's here, just not on the playlist. Hopefully y'all can update. :)
Hey, I can't hear the music you're playing over the episode, can you play it louder?
I cant hear the music make it louder
