- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- Steven Universe still has a lot to explore beyond the Diamonds, but how can we have another antagonist without turning a blind-eye to everything the Diamonds have done? Well the seeds have been planted for a galaxy-wide conflict against Homeworld!

Here's an idea that's been stirring inside my head for a few days now! Happy to have it out there. Tomorrow will be talking about some small news regarding the Steven Universe movie that came out and what it means.

When is the next special bend up Steven universe I really wanted to know because I’ve been watching all episodes and I’ve been really seen some sequence and sucking up episodes but what blue dia when is the next special bend up Steven universe I really wanted to know because I’ve been watching all episodes and I’ve been really seeing some secrets and sucking up episodes But Did blue diamond has a crush on Greg because I would love that I really love cartoon character relationships
Watch the next episode be about Lars and how he got back
The creator of white diamond
Steven universe is amazing
Vox I have a theory about how the show will end. If WD is truly powering Homeworld and holding it together, then I believe The Crystal Gems, Yellow, and Blue will go up against White. If they manage to poof or shatter her, then HW will die and crumble. What if this causes a planetwide evacuation, forcing all gems to return to earth and coexist peacefully with humanity?
I wonder if Rebecca Sugar ever sits there watching fan videos and reading our coments looking at all the fanart like wow, they figured it out or wow this would've been an awesome idea.
She does.
windwolfgirl Course she does. She’s such a bad writer that she has to look at fan theories for ideas.
Minty Coffee oof
@@MintyCoffee rude!
Minty Coffee
I guess you watched that video of a gay person screaming about the show for 2 hours straight.
Well Rebecca did confirm that she wants SU to have a total of 9 seasons,so we still got a while. TOWNY EPISODES HERE WE COME!!!
9 seasons? wow this show will go on for like another 100 years!
I demand a 6 episode Onion Arc.
Let's hope we GET 9
Let's hope we are going to watch more than 9 season
9 seasons?
What is it with unexpectedly amazing shows getting up to 9 season now?
First MLP FiM and now SU? What's next to go for 9 seasons?
I think this theory makes a lot of sense; a common theme in Steven Universe is that actions have consequences. Steven told Peridot (when she was still aligned with Homeworld) that there were humans on Earth. This led to Aquamarine and Topaz going on a kidnapping spree and eventually taking Steven into space (again). Pearl lied to Garnet so they could form Sardonyx. This led to several episodes where Garnet wouldn't even talk to Pearl. And those are just the ones I could think of off of the top of my head. If there are two more seasons left, then it should be plenty of time to give us a real Diamond redemption.
*OMG, THERE'S SO MUCH TO EXPLORE FOR REAL!*
Before watchin your vid abt Beach City Con, I never realized dat there's a whole UNIVERSE here that can be entertainingly flushed out. I'd be here for that.
When you’re so early it says it’s private
me
Ha lol
Lol
go away please !
@@pokemasterbeyblade5384 I thought you were telling people to go away please lol
"Lighting never strikes twice."
Yes it does actually.
It can strike thousands if not hundreds of thousands of times, even in the same spot, it may not be likely but it is entirely possible!
What I saw somewhere:
At the very end of Steven Universe, it's a black screen and you hear a voice. It's saying "Garnet. Garneeeet. Garrrneeeettttt." It's Rose's voice. It zooms out to show Rose and Garnet sitting on the beach together. Rose says, "So what do you think Garnet? Should I go to the concert?" Garnet smiles and nods.
I would really like Netflix to pick up Steven Universe as the monthly hiatus for this series gets annoying. With Netflix there is also the possibility of having full 30 min episodes and a consistent air time without worrying about CN cancelling the show just because its not as popular as TTG.
PurpleHuskie nah, CN knows the value in SU. CN is just bad at advertising because the company is focusing streaming CN THEMSELVES lol. Having Netflix pick this show up would lose more of a fan base than you think and money for CN. You’d binge watch the episodes, won’t have the chance to soak in all new info. Not only that, the fan base won’t be sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for a new episode IF it was streamed on Netflix. CN won’t cancel SU. CN sees the profit in this show and will milk it as much as they can just like TTG. They already sold so much merch for SU because of the hiatuses in season 5. Just be patient lol the show will go on just not when we want it lol
Im still waiting to see who is morganite, we still have lars and the off colors, and in the last episode, before the gems leave to find pink's ship, when greg tells garnet "Should i be worried?" She replies "Steven, will be fine" right before handing Steven (her cat) over to him,which, from the sound of her voice, probably means that the rest of the gems (her included) will have to face different circumstances .
I have a theory.
Onion is secretly controlling White Diamond in her head because White Diamond is actually a robot. ONION IS WHITE DIAMOND
Last time I was this early, it wasn't confirmed that the Garnet is a fusion😂
The Diamonds don't have to be justified they just have to change and move on from there.
So...they were tyrants in the past and now they can stop being tyrants and move on from there...that can be their redemption.
Or maybe they can just stop being corporate assholes.
I haz a llama says: *Or maybe they can just stop being corporate assholes.*
I believe that's exactly what I said in a roundabout kind of way.
And I also realized as I was typing the comment that this is basically what you said. But I decided to type it anyway because I thought It was funny.
And call me immature because in some ways I am.
4:19 humans would do the exact same thing.
MysticalMiner 1 too true
@@bennettzantium6759 Or the mongols over Asia and parts of the Middle East
Another great episode of crystal clear
Love Crystal Clear
The Sneeple want to colonize homeworld and the diamonds have to fight back.with Steven and realized how bad colonization is
I want this now
CPW:::ComputerPlayerWill why on earth would sneeple want to colonize homeworld???? Homeworld is dead with NO resources..this makes no sense lmao
CPW:::ComputerPlayerWill I think the steeple are pissed the diamonds are taking THIER colonies, meaning the planets they (the gems) start to colonize meanwhile the sneeple owned those planets.
I wonder that will the Rubies, Jasper, Aquamarine, & Emerald will be fighting with or against the Crystal Gems?
Maybe with, because at first they were fighting against the Crystal Gems because they thought that Steven was Rose and that Rose shatter Pink, but now they would think that Steven is Pink and they might apologize for what happened.
Well it depends on how is he gonna prove it to them that he's Pink Diamond. I know just asking worked on Bismuth but to them he's gonna say something like, "Okay Pearl lost her cellphone so I went inside her gem and started going through her memories. Then there were more Pearls and there was an alphabetical inventory and then a war. And the next thing I know, Pink Diamond shapeshifted into Rose.". Do you think they'll believe him if he said that to them?
Not Jasper
@@bluegrassadventures8227, yes Jasper, not to Aquamarine and Emerald, but I think the Topaz twins and famethysts
It would probably be a mixture
(im sorry this is long, im a history major going for my bachelor's, soon to graduate, with a minor in English, and then off to graduates college, i have an uncharacteristic love for psychology and historical literature for a history major, and so there was no way i was gonna half-ass this comment.)
see, i never considered the diamonds run of the universe as cold hearted conquest. its not that they hate life, its not that they understood and simply didnt care enough TO care. its that they ignorantly just never believed that there WAS a problem. like how a computer program wouldnt understand something sentimental to you, nor care if it was erased. its not out of villainy, its out of "ALMOST" innocent ignorant bliss. especially in the case of white diamond. Pink only figured it out because she actually went out and explored the life, and was still immature and "young" mentally enough to have that open mind , and it math have something to do with how she was made, given her excess of emotions and her life-related powers.
i think a lot of my opinion here stems from two things, my childhood when i saw ghost rider use his stare on galactus in fantastic 4 the cartoon. making this being who's life is dependent on eating worlds, suddenly realize and understand that everything he has done was wrong, and he sufferd the guilt so completely from that revelation. he still had to eat worlds for a living but this made this galactic god understand.
the other thing was reading classical Greek and Norse literature, and other mythologies/religions through my entire life (im almost to my bachelor's degree with a specialty in this subject right now actually, planning to be a teacher) and through these stories, i've psychologically profiled gods, and what, on a literary point of view, drove them individually to have their opinions, preferences, ideas, or cause them to do one thing or another, why were some petty and other kind, while others are cruel and others are non active. and because of this experience, i have constantly, sence "what's the use of feeling blue" been psychologically profiling and understanding the diamonds, from their point of view, seeing why they do the things they do, what could possibly drive their opinions, what understandings or misunderstandings are being formed, AND WHY. (why is a big word here)
so given all of that. i honestly, cant see the diamonds as evil beings, or cruel. they are tyrants still, no doubt, but to them, the gems are basically tools, and organics, are the worms of planets that do not matter in the grand scheme. not because they are racist or bias, but because they truely dont comprehend that their positions as diamonds, the quite literal gods of their society, has distanced them from their own subjects. they work with practicality first, and this line of thought is the true reason they are how they are. pink got away before she could become this way, and white was the first so she's the worst of them all.
POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY
ESPECIALLY GODS WITH GOD-COMPLEXES
Everyone needs to see this
Well put.
Have you seen how white diamond acts, i dont think she would of cared about uncorrupting the corrupted gems on earth
I still think WD originally was made as a tool, an artificial intelligence created by organic beings that reached technological singularity and were, probably, colonizers. However WD started to improve herself and/or create more gems, and became so perfect/powerfull that eventually needed not more of her creators.
Carlos Hernández I like this Idea because it puts in the possibility of wd becoming EVEN STRONGER
So basically GlaDOS
I heard of a similar theory where she "absorbed that race" into a hive mind
@@grandinquisitor8335 Wow...crazy...but possible since we as society may be not far away of reaching technological singularity and therefore it is becoming a recurrent topic in media how it could be...
@@enrique9925 it is kind of sad but true and a warning for technology also a better question is why did the creators of white diamond make her look like the "human female" also on the hive mind when i meant absorbed she put all their knowledge into her making her completely "rational" and "perfect" so sort of an endless voices insider her
Those were some good theories! It wouldn't make sense for the Diamonds to just suddenly stop colonizing inhabited planets and all of a sudden see the error in their ways. They're powerful leaders who've spent centeries depending on their ideals and judgement. If all of that were to come in to question they probably wouldn't have an easy time accepting it and would probably lash out at other planets and at their own people.
I hope that they do get redeemed. From what I've seen of the series, which is basically almost the whole series, Steven has this special thing around him that helps people become better versions of themselves. Examples are: Peridot, Lapis Lazuli, Lars, Bismuth, the former mayor Dewey (I think?), Amethyst, Ruby and Sapphire etc.
Even though he is not the leader, he is still a very important crystal gem and great person.
I think White Diamond will be the main villain
I still count on it
I also can see that in a way - but more following the ideas of vox in this vid, concerning her hardline ideology ("stubbornness") not yielding to any truce agreement. But I don't think it will be a combat between the CG and her but rather WD against said rebellion and Steven might be asked to help out as pink diamond, mecha style, and ultimately has to decide on his role in all that and how to position himself within this conflict
But will be redeemed when they join forces to fight the alien
@@trustydragon3494 so you think, ultimately, other aliens will be the big badies and not white diamond. Bc if WD is "the main enemy/antagonist", then the aliens would fight her for reasons a steven universe cant ignore and will try to understand. This is not a standard shonen battle story
@@trustydragon3494 unless she actually is abusive
@@huemins maybe...but there is something about her that I'm sure will make her the real villain of the entire series
I mean, she has been colonizing planets that didnt belong to her and she is abusive to her Pearl along witht the fact that we don't know what her powers are, so I'm definately calling dibs on White being the main villain of the series, especially because I think she has mind controling powers.
I think that they may be in a war with another race explaining why there are so many warrior gems and why home world is experiencing a resource crisis as they have trouble expanding
To be honest, I'm kinda annoyed that we're kind of "friends" with the Diamonds already, they've only been showed in like a few episodes, and we barely even know about them.
"Friends" isn't even what I'd call them. They just have a truce with the Crystal Gems and the only reason they do is because of Pink (Steven). Otherwise, I'm quite certain they would have destroyed them by now.
We need squaridot to become a crystal gem
I love this channel I subscribed about some months ago
Been here for over a year
Any one ever notic that lapus gem is just like the gem in castle in the sky
Yeah that's what she is named from lapis lazuli,an actual gemstone.
Been watching this from the beginning it just keeps getting better and better both the channel and Steven universe
What else do we have left uwu?
*>:0*
*FUSIONS DURRRRRRRR*
a good fight in this damn show
I've always thought that the species that may have created the gems, likely as servants, may be the ones they are at war with.
Hearing you bring up voltron while talking about Steven universe makes me happy and fills me with determination(please don't put a bunch of hate comments here)
Eh.... to me, exploring the diamond's origins is not something we need explaining. It's like trying to explain how the flux capacitor makes time travel happen. For now, Steven has only taken on the problems Rose left behind, and I still believe there's plenty of Rose's baggage left to unpack. If there is a bigger storyline involving a universe coalition dedicated to taking down the diamond authority, I doubt we'll see it this season.
Oh yes! The "Coallition" twist is a BRILLIANT idea, it does bring everything full circle
Thanks for all the great vids once again Roundtable, much appreciated.
Hi, i just wanted to say that you (the round table) and Steven universe help me alot. I'd like to thank you. These videos take me into a different world. Please keep making these videos. Edit: love your new avatar
So it will be a War of the Worlds.
Skyrogue19 Kill them all! ****Radio Static****
I have a plan for humanity to defeat the Gem empire if an invasion happens. Only in the very desperation will Operation Dark Shattering be used.
Hmm idk y but I don't think something or someone created the diamonds or other gems, I think they naturally occurred just like irl
Wich makes gems created by the injectors kinda like syntheticly grown gems
I even think the diamonds and especially white are gems that naturally formed, wich made them extra special / important
( it would be also cool if we ever found out what makes the gemstone of gems different than than regular minerals and stones, some kind of special power or magic etc)
I am having a lot feelings about your concept of a “Resistance” against Homeworld. It had me thinking of so many ideas for alien races and ships, and the supposed leader of the Resistance. Wish I could show them to you if you like.
I love to imagine that when his theorys turn out to be true vox just grins cockily and says ''bingo bongo"...please let this be true
That thumbnail is GOD DAMN PERFECTION!! 😍😍😂😂
YASS ROUNDTABLE GOOO
So this episode made me realize that gems as a species act like a virus but for planets
So like how humans are a "virus" to Earth.
I love the idea of "The Diamond Mech" it's like SU's equivielent of Voltron.
I‘m so terrified for both the new episodes and the movie! I don’t know what else to expect!
Dang... that could actually work! I’m impressed.
"Rollll gooaaallll!" -Henna the fisherman's descendant, The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
Nice one Awestruck
I never really thought of that outcome
I like this idea a lot! But there is one major thing that wasn't addressed in it.... The reason diamonds even started invading other planets is their lack of resources to breed/lack of being able to breed. I also think this is a major point. But Steven is living proof that instead of killing other species, it's possible to breed with them... Well maybe since in roses case it meant dying forever xD
I wish we have a mini series about the gem war! Look at the perspectives of both sides would be awesome.
Going on an interesting thought, I believe a future antagonist of the show will be someone, or a group, that are survivors of the gems colonisation, and what revenge for what the diamonds have done, with Steven caught in-between it all.
I kinda think after all of this, the past of gems would be interesting to learn of. Like, were certain gems made in the past but aren’t used in the now of Steven Universe.
It would also be interesting to learn if there were more rebels in the past, but weren’t as strong as Pink Diamond and couldn’t take action.
Or what if there are other colonies that exist within the vast universe?
And we can’t forget the amount of gems on Homeworld, who were told the Crystal Gems were bad. Some might not agree to the fact of teaming up with them.
I’m just throwing out ideas that could happen in the later areas of the show. Since most questions were answered in this season.
"Come on! Aliens are cooool!"
Someone has released his inner 10 year old
Maybe Steven could try and convince the dimensions to you know stop killing planets if you want a long running story ark. Seeing how pink was to scared to put her foot down without rose.
For those who stand upon a mound of billions of corpses, no mercy will be given.
lets not forget, after white diamond cures corruption we need time to get to know all the uncorrupted gems.
8:38 *GASP!! THE SNEAPO-*- oh. Voltron,yeah lol-
When it comes to Lars and the Off-Colors, I’m pretty sure once any rebel groups see them it’ll be clear that they aren’t typical soldier Gems, considering that they’re so off-color.
Actually the rebels could recruit Lars to their cause to provide another explanation for why they haven’t returned to Earth yet. And that could lead to a big conflict where Steven has to decide between helping the Diamonds or the Rebels, who are using Lars as their messenger of sorts
Ha I like that rebellion idea but if that happens I think Steve would be the one to start it. He's grown a lot over the sessions and even if he really doesn't want to fight he'll know that the dimensions won't change. The only way he can really free everyone from them is to get rid of them and make them see they're not as great as they think. Also I love your work you are awesome! 😄
The tyrrany of the Diamonds is why I don't believe that they're redeemed. A truce is just a truce, not a redemption, or even peace. If Pink/Steven still objects, the Diamonds would still be a major problem.
I like the sound of that idea for Steven Universe's ending.
On a side note, I was aware of a Voltron reboot(remake?), but haven't been able to see it. The original series had some graphic violence and horrific themes that were edited out.
What if white diamond has another evil death-cult calling themselves the white diamonds of the order and finding out that their leader has been either been poofed shattered or in a bubble and coming back to kill Steven and releasing her that will be a crazy story
I was hoping that something like seeing an alien resistance or alien species that are against Homeworld might happen in later seasons, especially there’s has to be some kind of resistance going on in space after all the colonizations the Diamonds have done to other planets. I want to see different alien species and planets.
Speaking of alien species, I have a Steven Universe fan character that’s is from another alien race. (I’ll give you the link if you want to see what she looks like)
Thay could have them encounter other creatures from a different dimension or better yet a multiverse
I'm very curious how miss sugar's take on demons and anger in Steven univeres?
This could lead to them meeting the pilot versions of themselves for a special episode.
I don’t think the diamonds need any kind of redemption. In the song “Feeling Blue” Yellow Diamonds says “you’ve got to be a leader blue”, and I think Pink was so rebellious due to her not wanting to fulfill her role as a leader. Her giving up her life to become something different helped her free herself of her fate of being a leader, from the diamonds and then from the crystal gems. The diamonds are doing what they are created to do, I don’t see why that needs redemption.
Honestly hoping there's a prequel of some sorts to show missions they went on or something.
I enjoyed those episodes too....
I knew someone would put a supermech theory!! I’m sry I’m just happy that it’s actually a theory
I think if the Diamonds were ever redeemed I think them sacrificing themselves for the greater good would be the best route to take.
A theory I have heard a few times is that white diamond made the diamonds. Yellow, Blue, and White are "perfect" while pink is imperfect. White purposely made her imperfect because she wanted to teach Yellow, Blue, and herself that they don't have to be perfect.
HOLY SHIT THIS IS WHY PINK TURNED INTO STEVEN. to be able to connect with diamonds and gems, as well as organic life, because once she saw the kind of life that existed on earth, she with her diamond intellect would have to come to the conclusion that these were not the only advanced organic life they had destroyed, and that some most definitely survived and would be angry. steven is probably the only thing in the universe that could convince both sides to come to a solution rather than more war
Lars is like regular show he went to space and try to go back
so much to explore and it would be such a good way to keep the diamonds relevant and keep their truce active without reusing the "steven beat them now their his friend" cliché. plus who knows maybe White diamond has gotten wind of them and this is the reason she welcomed "Pink" back instead of shattering her for the 5000 hiding game she played
Yes I Love RoundTable ever since I have subscribe i have been a better person
You don't even need another race for there to be resistance. There are probably more off colors hiding, or maybe they'll be with the alien refugees. I think Lars might show up on Earth at some point when blue and yellow will again just for a "omg it's thoss giant ladies!" Supprise joke. Maybe. It'd be weird if they got captured and taken to homeworld for whatever happens next though.
I'm hoping that Cookie Cat was foreshadowing to a race of cat-like aliens that could join Steven's resistance.
Perhaps the organic coalition will manage to convince human authorities to join them. That would really be a conflict for Steven.
One of the best theories ever.
That sounds like a good idea to explore.
I strongl think the only way Steven and Co can get out of this and get home in tact - is if Steven CONVINCES the Diamonds that he Can and WILL make the Erth colony work. Preferably using some of Rose and Peridot's ideas to make the colony sustainable and not trashing the planet. I do also like the idea that there is a bigger enemy out there however. And the Crystal Gems will eventually be the ones Saving Homeworld from this external threat.
In the clip where Connies mom was yellow while on the phone she was talking to the nephrite blue yellow and pink tried to heal before realising they needed white to fully complete it
Has anyone told you that you should be a professional narrator. Like besides this, I think you would do rather well in the industry.

•and so pearl starts the rebellion•
Here’s the video finally
The DBZ Kai opening brought back so many memories that I had to pause.
I feel like the fanship's interests have switched from the concern for the future of Steven to the fate of his autocratic aunts.
I heard you say voltron and I lost it lmao
I like Diamonds. And I like they Ideology.
Love Roundtable!!!!❤💙💚💜💛
I think it's time for Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems to escape from Homeworld and White Diamond.
Maybe..., I hope all of this would come true with more steven universe songs
When it comes it will be known as Operation Dark Shattering followed by Operation Crystal Hope.
Doesn’t matter how cool the Diamonds characters are: remember millennia ago a dark shadow was cast over the globe.
The diamonds are the best artistic design I seen in a while it be shame if they ignore them
I can see it already! Steven goes through Lion to see Lars and fines him chained up or something and bam plan for escape!
now this really has me thinking lol
The crystal gems entered their own era 2 after rose's death. Homework's entered there era 2 after pink diamonds death. Interesting parallel.
Something simply refuse to remain. with the a past like the diamonds. time can only tell
Crystal gems + diamonds vs onion.
Why does everyone want Steven to team up with dictators, out final villain is literally right there and she's huge and white
