You might have heard this one allready, but here is a thought: maybe all rose quartz have the ability, or were supposed to have it, but our rose was the first and/or only one to awake it. I love your videos, keep going
I think she isn't the only healer, but that healing in and of itself is a rare trait. Like, a GEMetic mutation?! Eh?! I'm so sorry forgive me pls my original statement still stands though
Gracie Mueller I feel like rose was not the only one to have healing powers it is a super rare ability and other rose quartz had them but fear of using it because they thought home world would shader them because its bad in home world to be different
I think there is more then one healer gem but less then three maybe just maybe there was any there cut of gems lost either token away or replaced because of having no meaning
What if they were like healers on the battle field? Like running around healing hurt gems against rebellions of other life forms(what? Cant other aliens exist?). I believe that it might have been a secret project by pink D, the diamonds have no place for the weak in their armies, and if PD(pink diamond, not PD Frieman) really was kind and caring, then what if she was trying to save "the weak"? And if not caring, maybe she was trying to save resources? And again, if she was kind, she could've used the resource efficiency to cover up the real reason, saving gem lives... **mic drop**
What if Rose was created only for PD herself? PD being the weakest, needed a healer gem just in case she ran into a situation where her life was in jeopardy. The time came, and Rose was not able to fulfill her duty and thus everyone viewed it as Rose shattering PD. I'm reaching. Lol
if all the rose quartz gems were bubbled of corse eye ball would know that rose was the only one not bubbled and therefore was the only one with healing powers and the only rose quartz that was still in existence.
Rose probably wasn't the ONLY one of her cut of gem to be a healer, but maybe it was pretty rare, like how Amethyst uses a whip and Bismuth made it seem like it was a kind of special and uncommon weapon for an Amethyst to have.
I'm more likely to believe all Rose Quartz gems would be healers rather than the one Rose alone. I have a few reasons as to why I think this is the case; one, in the song Yellow Diamond sings, she lists what various types of gems do (an agate terrifies, a lapis terraforms) so it's likely that rose quartzes in particular are healers, that would be their position. Rose was seen as someone to be intimidated by, other gems were intimidated by the leader of the Crystal Gems, she was a quartz and in particular a rose quartz. She was capable of killing and healing, not something every gem can do. So why Rose in particular, why is she specifically special? Pink Rose's room offers that answer: every other rose quartz gem was bubbled. They were defeated, gone, and Rose was the only one left. The only reason I can imagine why gems would being fascinated by the unique ability to heal would be because Home World doesn't care about individuals, if a gem is broken they can easily be replaced. Ruby never cared about her own safety because she knew there were other rubies. Healing is a novelty to them, it has potential uses but it doesn't make logical sense to them.
Or maybe its a rare ability that all rose quartz's had but since they were made as soldiers that didn't use it because they didnt know they had it. If your told that you can only do so much that is all you believe. Since she was on earth she learned a lot about herself and discovered that hidden piwer
One little detail I noticed is that in "The Answer", Sapphire and Ruby act surprised when Sapphire freezes the ground. This seems to imply that Sapphires do not normally have that ability, and that the experience of fusing with Ruby and breaking out of her designated role changed her somehow. The same could be said about Peridot and her metal-bending, especially since Era 2 Peridots are not supposed to have powers at all. So there is definitely evidence in the series that gems can develop new powers, especially after they start thinking of themselves as individuals. I think that is exactly what happened to Rose after she came to love the Earth and genuinely care for all life.
I think rose is a completely new type of gem created by pink diamond. I think she is evolution of rose quart who can both create a weapon and have a special ability because she only can heal and create weapons while garnet and pearl only seem to have the ability to create weapon but she pearl has her hologram however that ability is on the scale as rose or lapis or peridot. In the mean while lapis and peridot only can just element ability but can't summon weapons. Now on the subject on garnet with her future vision, sapphire could be on same boat as her but I doubt it because I believe she might have gotten same treatment but not to the scale of rose. The last gem is amethyst while her being able to shape-shift is impressive and summon weapon which allows her to use the ability in combat, she isn't the only one who could do that jasper can also do the same. This maybe a theory but I feel like this might be true
2:34 “our Rose was different” The way you said that reminded me SO MUCH of the way in which Bismuth said “Rose Quartz was different” the way it sounded.
I think all or most Rose Quartz gems had healing powers, and were likely made to serve as clerical tanks on the battlefield, healing and defending allies. But maybe our Rose shattered Pink before the other Rose Quartzs were brought into service. There was probably a cover up of some kind and that's why Lapis and Eyeball had that surprised reaction.
Wow! At first I was totally against your theory, but when you brought back up Eyeball's statement about Rose's healing powers and how it seemed to not be normal, I came over to your side :)
Congratulations on 25k subs! Yay!! Glad to see the community growing! Your theory makes a lot of sense. That's kind of how I had already imagined healing powers were supposed to be portrayed, like a rare if not unique occurence. I wonder if we might get any confirmation on this any time soon. Much love :)
Good point, man. Color me convinced. For some reason, it makes me think of the part in the 'cookie cat' jingle: "he left his family behind". As in, rose left her fellow rose quartz gems and then lived off route 109 (its not a perfect idea).
I can totally see this being plausible. Peridot wasn't aware of any other abilities she had, then she unlocked her metal powers. I can imagine Rose unlocking her other abilities through all of her own experiences from Earth that other Rose gems didn't have. It's like, all Rose Quarts are capable, but Homeworld doesn't push gems to be their best, just to get the job done that they were made for which doesn't leave much room for growth or to be the best they can be.
In keeping with the idea that rose quartz gems were made to maintain the zoo, its possible that healing humans was an attribute of the entire cut of gems. But its also possible that Rose was the only one that could heal OTHER GEMS, this would explain Eyeball and Lapis's reactions, as well as J10's story about a gem healing someone who was hurt.
When I didn't know much about Steven Universe, my friend (whose name won't be revealed for the purpose of keeping her identity) told me that Sapphires were also healers.
I don't think Rose is the only healer gem. Why would only ONE gem have those powers but not the others?? You have to remember, Rose supposedly shattered Pink Diamond. And if one Rose Quartz can do it, think about what all the other ones could do. The diamonds are afraid that if they unbubble another Rose Quartz, the same thing could happen to them or worse.That's why YD wanted to shatter them entirely. She sees no point in even having them around because of what happened. Even if they could heal their soldiers so they wouldn't have to rush and create more, the risk of being shattered and the authority being overthrown is too much. Then another thing, perhaps Ruby was shocked because none of the other Rose Quartz had been in commission long enough to even be part of the war. She wouldn't know what powers any of the others had because she's never seen anyone besides the "real" or "original" Rose.
If rose quartz could heal herself she would have to get some power from somewhere, now this is a theory but if they got their powers from pink diamond, would they have been able to heal themselves if broken, now even shattered, if the shattered pieces were next to each other, now don't get me wrong it would be weird but, what if pink diamond could reheal herself and she could un-shatter, this is a bad theory but hey, not all theory's are good, thanks for reading.
Gems probably get energy from stealing geothermal energy from planets and chemical energy from lifeforms. They then somehow concentrate that energy and use it for thousands of years without it depleting... Maybe they recycle it?... The point is, I believe they already have all the energy they'll need since they are born, they aren't getting energy from anywhere after they come out of the grown... But that's just a theory...
I also agree that rose is the only quarts with healing powers. Remember when ruby said "there was a rumor going around that rose quartz could heal fallen soldiers" or whatever so I believe that it was un heard of on homeworld
I think once the rebellion started they pulled back all rose quartzes and made them stay and protect everyone in the zoo. And they rushed to make Jaspers to take their place. Explaining why the rose Quartzes couldn't heal each other on the battlefield. I also think they pulled them back because there could have been confusion on the battlefield if rose reformed to look like one of them
I think because rose feels more emotion and love for others, she developed the ability to heal her allies because i've heard another theory saying that steven can only heal the things he loves, so the same should be with rose quartz. Maybe the other Roses have this ability but haven't discovered this because they are chained down by home world and are not allowed feel love or emotion for others
I kinda like your idea. Maybe she discovered this power that she had. Kinda like how peridot discovered she could control metal. Remember with the fight with bismuth she said that rose was telling them that they could be more than what they were intended to be and that home world tricked them into thinking they couldnt ascend to anything greater than that so they all have untapped abilites. Maybe healing is an untapped ability of the rose quartz gem in general or like you said its unique to her. Perhaps peridots power is unique to only her and not other peridots too
I think there are other healer gems, but they were rare and probably couldn't heal anywhere near as well as our Rose could. As you said our Rose cared for all life no matter the form it took. I think some other Rose gems could heal, but it would likely tire them out fast and took alot longer to work instead of Stevens and Roses near instant healing and even then it would be rare for a Rose to have it like only the most pure Roses have it.
I think that all rose quartz gems powers is controlled by their emotions just like the way Steven discovers. for instance our rose was loving, caring and would do anything for the planet which is why: she has healing powers, her weapon is a shield and she controls sentient plant life but if we met a rose quartz more like jasper then they would most likely have offensive powers rather than defensive but that's just a theory
rose was probably the first quartz to unlock her healing powers. they all have the same potential. just like peridot discovering her ferokinesis, she didn't know she had it. that's why homework doesn't want gems thinking for themselves and straying outside their purpose.
I feel that all Rose Quartz were made, in some form or fashion, to be defenders/healers. I think Rose's capacity to care for others in the way she does is a byproduct of Pink Diamond's intention. Each Diamond seems to bring in a new and diverse set of gems that help benefit the Diamond/gem conquest. Maybe the Rose Quartzes were meant to have these sort of powers, it was just that Rose discovered her healing powers first, whatever the case may be. The Rose Quartzes are all bubbled, and we have no set time frame when they were bubbled in relation to Rose's rebellion. Its possible that other Rose Quartzes have healing powers as well, but since theyre all bubbled, we have nothing to say they do or dont
Actually, at the time the roses could have been the ones designated for that purpose because the famethysts are holding down the fort, but obviously not very well because they dont really know how to react to the pain of the zoomans, so when the roses were gone and the war was over, the zoo was left standing and they had a lot of unnecessary warriors that had no purpose, so the roses could have actually been for the zoo and it still fit the motives of homeworld and the overall plot
i totally agree with the idea that crystal rose is the only one to have healing powers. like how peridot is the only one to have mental-i mean metal powers(i think it could evolve into mental powers.)
think about it remember when perediot gained metal manipulation powers due to the situation she but never knew about it till she was forced to , same thing could apply for rose when she came in contact with humans
All I'll say is that, according to Eyeball, Rose's healing ability was something rumored, something not proven until Steven demonstrated it himself. If other Rose Quartzes had this power, it would have presumably been common knowledge to other red-hued Gems around at the time like Eyeball. Whether this was a power that Rose had since her emergence, or was something she acquired later, I'm believe that only the Diamonds themselves have the power to heal cracked gemstones, so Rose's power is derived, directly or indirectly, from them.
My two cents is rose is the most powerful healer. Like how some of the gems have lesser abilities like for example how pearl can sort of manipulate sand on a small scale. Rose Quartz abilities may vary from gem to gem and could even have different effects. But rose being unique might be what made her stand out for Pink Diamond. Healing a cracked gem is certainly a valued skill and I'm sure it was pretty guarded in the beginning. Hell it might be another factor in what started the war in the first place.
I believe, with the Wanted special, it is safe to conclude that, yes, Rose could be the only healing gem: "But I healed your gem!" (Steven) "And who else has the ability to heal gems?.." (Eyeball, in reference to Rose) At least, Eyeball believes she was the only one, so perhaps Homeworld made all Rose Quarts gems with healing abilities, realised they might all turn out our Rose (a rebel) and the Diamonds told their subjects it was only the one so they could keep order. That's just my theory, though, so feel free to tell me about anything else on it.
I think that all Rose Quartz's had the ability to heal, but because of their soldier status, they were probably required to not use it unless in dire situations, such as a superior officer being cracked. However, our Rose being Rose, was one of a kind in a sense that she wanted to use her healing powers on whoever needed it and not just in special circumstances. That's my theory anyway.
Maybe our Rose Quartz was one of the first gems to be made on Earth. Maybe she was the first, and possibly only Rose Quartz to come from Earth. It would explain a lot about her free spirit and why she's so different, why she's so attached to the Earth moreso than Homeworld and why she is totes cool with bucking the Homeworld hierarchy. Maybe that was her special connection with Pink Diamond as well, she was Pink Diamonds first creation on Earth.
Mabye our Rose Quartz was the only rose quartz that could heal other gems. Also, I think the reason the human zoo functions quite well without rose quartzs is because its current residents are GENERATIONS after the original humans. By now, they've gotten used to the zoo, no legends of earth survived and they have no reason to escape or get hurt. I imagine that during the first couple of generations, the rose quartzs were necessary.
They possibly were made to help guard and take care of the Zoo, then were simply replaced by the others once they got bubbled. If that's all they were really used for, it could explain why they didn't mind bubbling the rest
The other part of the Theory that seemed harder to debunk that wasn't mentioned was that Rose Quartz...es? are much more human appearing than other gems and have a shield instead of an offensive weapon. They may not have been the healers of the zoo, but they may have been caretakers of the zoo and it has since become automated without them. After all, there were a ton of amethysts and a few other gems on the zoo - maybe they're filling the role of the Roses? Maybe our Rose was the rose who healed that one human - sparking her interest in them? It doesn't mean the other Roses had healing powers, evidenced by the ruby and lapis.
Eyeball the Ruby has twice said that Steven's Mom was the only gem capable of healing in the universe. Once in Bubbled as you described, then again in The Trial, where Eyeball flat out says "And who else can heal, but the Villainous Rose Quartz"? Eyeball said that while standing between two Diamonds. And nobody corrected her. The statement stands. Somehow, Steven's Mom, who according to Bismuth was a completely normal rose quartz soldier when she was made, somehow acquired a power unique to all gems in the universe. And while thousands of rose quartz soldiers fell to the Diamonds and got bubbled in the Zoo, Steven's Mom was able to fight the three Diamonds.. and win. This is why I think Pink Diamond granted her powers to Rose. I can't think of anything else that would allow Rose to do all these things.
Well, our Rose Quartz is also the first gem we've seen to have a shield rather than a weapon. So it might be possible that the defense based roses had the power. We don't know much about the others yet.
J10 could still have been referring to a rosequartz coming in and helping a hurt gem. But it would have been our/the Rosequartz. Perhaps the Human Zoo is where Rosequartz had her first interaction with humans, and is where she fell in love with the human race. Then, it would be fit for all the bubbled rosequartzes to be there in the zoo, as a reminder of how the rebellion, gem war, and shattering of Pink Diamond began.
Rose quartz has a defense weapon ...a shield... she had to have a sword made which means she was designed to defend; her healing powers and quarts soldier stature shows that she's a "protector-nurturer" of some kind. I wouldn't be surprised if rose was a pacifist at first and had to resort to violence in order to protect the ones she loved.
I think the reason Lapis and Eyeball were shocked was because they never new a gem/human hybrid could exist and were confused as to why a human would have gem abilities
Eyeball clearly stated Rose's healing to be a rumor, a legend. Exact words: "I... I can't believe it! There were rumors back during the war, that Rose Quartz could heal her Crystal Gem soldiers, keeping her small army in contention with the superior forces of Homeworld." Does that sound like being surprised about a hybrid? She didn't know if Rose could actually heal, even after the war.
I think that all or if not then most Rose quartz's had the ability to heal, the reason I say this is because of the earrings. I think that they put those earrings on the humans to make sure they didn't get hurt because they now knew that the gems that were meant to help them if they were hurt was out of commission.
i still think that the rose quartz gem was a field medic,but they were made late during the war due to the casualties. blue had them in the zoo so all of them could be in the same place
I think the Rose Quartzes being made just to take care humans is silly. Why would Blue or Yellow Diamond let Pink Diamond waste precious mineral on pet caretakers? Rose Quartzes were probably the tanks because of the bubbles.
I will go with what AwestruckVox said. Rose Quartz (as the gem type.) All have healing powers... but don't know they /have/ healing powers. Rose only found out after she decided to be different and care for others.
I have an idea/theory. When yellow diamond says "an army had a use they can go and fight a war" which is probably the quartz armies. But the diamonds probably didn't think a rebellion would start at all, so how where any quartz made for the army for a war which was unseen, and most of all how was rose made if not in war, so have they had wars earlier, have gems rebelled before? If so then they would all be shattered because the crystal gems are only Ines which are spoken about. So what does this mean? Please reply if anyone has ideas
What I think is that all Quartz had the ability to heal but since they shattered all of them and only rose was left they automatically know who rose / Steven is
I think all rose quarts may have had healing powers, but the diamonds could not trust any more rose quarts after one rebelled otherwise they would probably still use them
I believe that the power of a rose quartz was mostly kept a secret. The only people that knew were the ones that worked at the zoo or is an extremely high ranking(for example blue diamond and the pearls) The reason that even people who might have known about the power, for example Eyeball, can tell 100% that he is rose because all the other rose quartz were bubbled
Rose Quartz's healing ability and Peridot's metal manipulation abilities seem to me to be unique to only them. Gem corruption may have a complementary of gem enhancement. My current theory is that the Earth itself is causing both effects on gems.
Do you think its like how peridot didnt know she had the power to control metal till she came to earth and explored what she could do outside of what the diamond Authority used peridots for?
I think the reaction of the gems was from the point that they all thought rose gems were all shatered and only rose gems had healing powers and for a healing Gem to be alive its surprising and goes agents there prior knolage
The ability to heal cracked gemstones may well be something restricted to the Diamonds. If a worthy warrior like Jasper somehow got her gemstone damaged, and there was no Diamond nearby, I supposed she could be deliberately poofed and bubbled for transportation to a Diamond. Since I've thought that Rose Quartz is too overpowered, her healing ability may have been something taken from Pink Diamond.
because in the beginning of the zoo the humans were unsure and frightend so the quartz would comfort them when it became clear they were safe there they didn't need the qaurtz
Here's a question for Otaku about Rose's ability to heal? Was if it's a ability that was developed only by Rose Quartz that were created on earth? I've a theory that while most gems of the same kind have mostly similar abilities, they can develop powers unique only to those type of gems created on the same planet. Homeworld seem to be more about efficiency and having the all gems of the same type the same/similar jobs, so it wasn't truly noticed or cared for. That could explain both why Rose's ability was so unique and why Peridot discovers her metal controlling ability despite never even thinking it's a power despite Peridots existing long before the rebellion.
maybe lion is pink diamond. maybe pink diamond and rose had a plan to fake the shattering of pink diamond to stop the colonization but as the diamonds sung the corruption song, pink diamond was also corrupted. that explains why when lion tileports to the moon base the portal is like a diamond
I also think Rose was the only one with a healing ability, probably a trait given to her by pink diamond. It's a possibility that Rose has this ability because she was the first rose quartz ever made. Who knows?
What I wonder about is, since all of the jaspers, amethysts, and even the carnelian at the zoo were from the alpha kindergarten, where were all of those bubbled rose quartzes made? Was Rose actually a homeworld gem?
Maybe Rose Quartzes all could heal but our Rose was the only one to learn it because most gems don’t cry or are vulnerable like the crystal gems and especially not in a situation that would result in healing powers surfacing.
I think all rose quartz soldiers have healing powers but our rose is the only one to unlock them and now the rose quartzs won't get that chance since they are bubbled
i think there is more healing rose quartz, but because of rose home world never let the other roses come out because they were afraid that the others would do the same as rose and betray the home world... or so i think???
What if Rose Quartz was a member of a diamonds court?? I mean think about it, there are abilities that are extremely rare, and healing is one of them, it’s comparable to sapphires ability to see into the future.
what if the bubbled rose quartzes in pink diamonds shrine place are failed rose quartzes because they didn't have healing powers and only one came out right aka our rose/steven
I wonder if Rose Quartz are a new type of Gem/variation, that they discovered solely on Earth, and as such the healing ability are their special thing, like Lapis's power to control water. I.e. why people are shocked about this ability, as the other Roses didn't know they had it till our Rose. Maybe because Rose's felt more and that's why, at least with our Rose, most of her abilities are tied to emotion. Guessing after Rose's uprising, Homeworld bubbled the other Roses, incase they thought like the other Rose, and started other uprisings all over their different spheres of influence.
SliceofOtaku I had this thought floating around in my mind since Steven Universe mention that Pink Diamond was shattered. If Rose Quartz had healing abilities that Steven inherited can heal cracked gems (even teddy bears) shouldn't he be able to heal a completely shattered gem if he had all the pieces?
I don't understand why EVERY Steven Universe speculator have the same voice! The Roundtable, SliceOfOtaku, Swaggy Thunder... they all have the same voice!
I think they have the potential to do it. look at peridot she didn't know she had the potential to control metal and only found out after she worked on finding her powers. So maybe all gems have powers or potential powers they don't know. So maybe all these rose quartz have the powers but need something to unlock them. Just like Steven had to learn his powers in the beginning like his shield and stuff.
its possible that other rose quartz could only heal humans, hence the bathtime, and that the tears had eternal healing power, hence rose's fountain healing amethyst
You're always so sweet at the end of your videos! It actually makes me happy seeing some positivity going around.
SliceofOtaku wow no dislikes....u deserve it😝😝☺
Random things of things :Yup he does deserve it (😙)
Sanjeda Khan wow you're deep...😫😫😫
Sanjeda Khan To sum this video up, if Ruby was healed they wouldn't be surprised too much since if there are more healer gems she would be used to it.
She's a diamond we know that noe
Hmm... youtube is broke. It says you're at 25,000 subs when CLEARLY you should be in the millions.
SliceofOtaku XD
If they unfuse, they would probably all unfuse and only Pearl+Steven or Steven+Greg would "refuse".
You might have heard this one allready, but here is a thought: maybe all rose quartz have the ability, or were supposed to have it, but our rose was the first and/or only one to awake it.
I love your videos, keep going
I think she isn't the only healer, but that healing in and of itself is a rare trait. Like, a GEMetic mutation?! Eh?!
I'm so sorry forgive me pls my original statement still stands though
Maybe like Peridot's ferrokinesis?
Gracie Mueller I feel like rose was not the only one to have healing powers it is a super rare ability and other rose quartz had them but fear of using it because they thought home world would shader them because its bad in home world to be different
I think there is more then one healer gem but less then three maybe just maybe there was any there cut of gems lost either token away or replaced because of having no meaning
What if they were like healers on the battle field? Like running around healing hurt gems against rebellions of other life forms(what? Cant other aliens exist?). I believe that it might have been a secret project by pink D, the diamonds have no place for the weak in their armies, and if PD(pink diamond, not PD Frieman) really was kind and caring, then what if she was trying to save "the weak"? And if not caring, maybe she was trying to save resources? And again, if she was kind, she could've used the resource efficiency to cover up the real reason, saving gem lives...
**mic drop**
What if Rose was created only for PD herself? PD being the weakest, needed a healer gem just in case she ran into a situation where her life was in jeopardy. The time came, and Rose was not able to fulfill her duty and thus everyone viewed it as Rose shattering PD.
I'm reaching. Lol
That would be weird. Imagine Rose Quartzes running around the battlefield. They'd be crying and tearing up non-stop to heal cracked and damaged gems.
if all the rose quartz gems were bubbled of corse eye ball would know that rose was the only one not bubbled and therefore was the only one with healing powers and the only rose quartz that was still in existence.
TheKawaii Morgan my thoughts exactly
Honestly
Just to add that the only gems on earth are the crystal gems and eye ball is a fighting gem so they would have been briefed on the crystal gems.
AYYYY!!! THAT FREESTYLE THO!
Lets Talk Cartoons LETS TALK CARTOONS IS HERE :D
Rose probably wasn't the ONLY one of her cut of gem to be a healer, but maybe it was pretty rare, like how Amethyst uses a whip and Bismuth made it seem like it was a kind of special and uncommon weapon for an Amethyst to have.
I'm more likely to believe all Rose Quartz gems would be healers rather than the one Rose alone. I have a few reasons as to why I think this is the case; one, in the song Yellow Diamond sings, she lists what various types of gems do (an agate terrifies, a lapis terraforms) so it's likely that rose quartzes in particular are healers, that would be their position. Rose was seen as someone to be intimidated by, other gems were intimidated by the leader of the Crystal Gems, she was a quartz and in particular a rose quartz. She was capable of killing and healing, not something every gem can do. So why Rose in particular, why is she specifically special? Pink Rose's room offers that answer: every other rose quartz gem was bubbled. They were defeated, gone, and Rose was the only one left.
The only reason I can imagine why gems would being fascinated by the unique ability to heal would be because Home World doesn't care about individuals, if a gem is broken they can easily be replaced. Ruby never cared about her own safety because she knew there were other rubies. Healing is a novelty to them, it has potential uses but it doesn't make logical sense to them.
Or maybe its a rare ability that all rose quartz's had but since they were made as soldiers that didn't use it because they didnt know they had it. If your told that you can only do so much that is all you believe. Since she was on earth she learned a lot about herself and discovered that hidden piwer
One little detail I noticed is that in "The Answer", Sapphire and Ruby act surprised when Sapphire freezes the ground. This seems to imply that Sapphires do not normally have that ability, and that the experience of fusing with Ruby and breaking out of her designated role changed her somehow. The same could be said about Peridot and her metal-bending, especially since Era 2 Peridots are not supposed to have powers at all. So there is definitely evidence in the series that gems can develop new powers, especially after they start thinking of themselves as individuals. I think that is exactly what happened to Rose after she came to love the Earth and genuinely care for all life.
Then you find out Rose is PD, rip to all the cool theories
In Steven Universe "Wanted" Eyeball Ruby said.........
......"And who else has the power to heal gems other than the villainous Rose Quartz!"
I think rose is a completely new type of gem created by pink diamond. I think she is evolution of rose quart who can both create a weapon and have a special ability because she only can heal and create weapons while garnet and pearl only seem to have the ability to create weapon but she pearl has her hologram however that ability is on the scale as rose or lapis or peridot. In the mean while lapis and peridot only can just element ability but can't summon weapons. Now on the subject on garnet with her future vision, sapphire could be on same boat as her but I doubt it because I believe she might have gotten same treatment but not to the scale of rose. The last gem is amethyst while her being able to shape-shift is impressive and summon weapon which allows her to use the ability in combat, she isn't the only one who could do that jasper can also do the same. This maybe a theory but I feel like this might be true
Drarok good explanation that builds on the one I came up with a few weeks ago
Drarok but she couldn't create a weapon. The sword was created by Bismuth
2:34 “our Rose was different”
The way you said that reminded me SO MUCH of the way in which Bismuth said “Rose Quartz was different” the way it sounded.
I think all or most Rose Quartz gems had healing powers, and were likely made to serve as clerical tanks on the battlefield, healing and defending allies. But maybe our Rose shattered Pink before the other Rose Quartzs were brought into service. There was probably a cover up of some kind and that's why Lapis and Eyeball had that surprised reaction.
Wow! At first I was totally against your theory, but when you brought back up Eyeball's statement about Rose's healing powers and how it seemed to not be normal, I came over to your side :)
SliceofOtaku I'm pretty sure I had first heard the theory of Rose Quartzs being zoo caretakers from Vox, so I feel like I'm cheating on him lol
Because they bubbled all of the rose quartz gems when our rose shattered pink diamond
Congratulations on 25k subs! Yay!! Glad to see the community growing!
Your theory makes a lot of sense. That's kind of how I had already imagined healing powers were supposed to be portrayed, like a rare if not unique occurence. I wonder if we might get any confirmation on this any time soon.
Much love :)
Nice theory !! I really like your vids, you have earned yourself a new subscriber !! :00
Good point, man. Color me convinced. For some reason, it makes me think of the part in the 'cookie cat' jingle: "he left his family behind". As in, rose left her fellow rose quartz gems and then lived off route 109 (its not a perfect idea).
I had originally thought that all RQs had healing powers, but you have convinced me otherwise. Bravo my friend.
I can totally see this being plausible.
Peridot wasn't aware of any other abilities she had, then she unlocked her metal powers.
I can imagine Rose unlocking her other abilities through all of her own experiences from Earth that other Rose gems didn't have.
It's like, all Rose Quarts are capable, but Homeworld doesn't push gems to be their best, just to get the job done that they were made for which doesn't leave much room for growth or to be the best they can be.
In keeping with the idea that rose quartz gems were made to maintain the zoo, its possible that healing humans was an attribute of the entire cut of gems. But its also possible that Rose was the only one that could heal OTHER GEMS, this would explain Eyeball and Lapis's reactions, as well as J10's story about a gem healing someone who was hurt.
I love the end of each video!
"You're amazing, and I love you!"
When I didn't know much about Steven Universe, my friend (whose name won't be revealed for the purpose of keeping her identity) told me that Sapphires were also healers.
Congrats on reaching 25k Slice!!!
I don't think Rose is the only healer gem. Why would only ONE gem have those powers but not the others?? You have to remember, Rose supposedly shattered Pink Diamond. And if one Rose Quartz can do it, think about what all the other ones could do. The diamonds are afraid that if they unbubble another Rose Quartz, the same thing could happen to them or worse.That's why YD wanted to shatter them entirely. She sees no point in even having them around because of what happened. Even if they could heal their soldiers so they wouldn't have to rush and create more, the risk of being shattered and the authority being overthrown is too much. Then another thing, perhaps Ruby was shocked because none of the other Rose Quartz had been in commission long enough to even be part of the war. She wouldn't know what powers any of the others had because she's never seen anyone besides the "real" or "original" Rose.
If rose quartz could heal herself she would have to get some power from somewhere, now this is a theory but if they got their powers from pink diamond, would they have been able to heal themselves if broken, now even shattered, if the shattered pieces were next to each other, now don't get me wrong it would be weird but, what if pink diamond could reheal herself and she could un-shatter, this is a bad theory but hey, not all theory's are good, thanks for reading.
Gems probably get energy from stealing geothermal energy from planets and chemical energy from lifeforms. They then somehow concentrate that energy and use it for thousands of years without it depleting... Maybe they recycle it?...
The point is, I believe they already have all the energy they'll need since they are born, they aren't getting energy from anywhere after they come out of the grown...
But that's just a theory...
4:15 you sound SO hype there!
I also agree that rose is the only quarts with healing powers. Remember when ruby said "there was a rumor going around that rose quartz could heal fallen soldiers" or whatever so I believe that it was un heard of on homeworld
I think once the rebellion started they pulled back all rose quartzes and made them stay and protect everyone in the zoo. And they rushed to make Jaspers to take their place. Explaining why the rose Quartzes couldn't heal each other on the battlefield. I also think they pulled them back because there could have been confusion on the battlefield if rose reformed to look like one of them
I think because rose feels more emotion and love for others, she developed the ability to heal her allies because i've heard another theory saying that steven can only heal the things he loves, so the same should be with rose quartz. Maybe the other Roses have this ability but haven't discovered this because they are chained down by home world and are not allowed feel love or emotion for others
Oh man, this was confirmed in the trial when Ruby mentioned only a rose quartz was capable of such healing capabilities
All those bubble rosequartz. It made me think, "Quick Steven! Send or take them home!"
I kinda like your idea. Maybe she discovered this power that she had. Kinda like how peridot discovered she could control metal. Remember with the fight with bismuth she said that rose was telling them that they could be more than what they were intended to be and that home world tricked them into thinking they couldnt ascend to anything greater than that so they all have untapped abilites. Maybe healing is an untapped ability of the rose quartz gem in general or like you said its unique to her. Perhaps peridots power is unique to only her and not other peridots too
Sub 1000th viewer on a Papa Slice video?!
I love listening to these theories man. You rock lol
I think there are other healer gems, but they were rare and probably couldn't heal anywhere near as well as our Rose could. As you said our Rose cared for all life no matter the form it took. I think some other Rose gems could heal, but it would likely tire them out fast and took alot longer to work instead of Stevens and Roses near instant healing and even then it would be rare for a Rose to have it like only the most pure Roses have it.
I think that all rose quartz gems powers is controlled by their emotions just like the way Steven discovers. for instance our rose was loving, caring and would do anything for the planet which is why: she has healing powers, her weapon is a shield and she controls sentient plant life but if we met a rose quartz more like jasper then they would most likely have offensive powers rather than defensive but that's just a theory
Hi great video tomorrow storm the room comes out can't wait!
Well now in the episode of the "The Trial" Eyeball said "and who else has the ability to heal gems other than the villainous Rose Quartz"
such a sweet ending :D loved this theory thingy :3
rose was probably the first quartz to unlock her healing powers. they all have the same potential. just like peridot discovering her ferokinesis, she didn't know she had it. that's why homework doesn't want gems thinking for themselves and straying outside their purpose.
Pink Diamond must have been like, "You know what we need? Doctors."
Here's a tiny theory: rose may not be shattered,cuz if u go to the temple episode you will see a bubbled gem that looks oddly like roses gem.
I feel that all Rose Quartz were made, in some form or fashion, to be defenders/healers. I think Rose's capacity to care for others in the way she does is a byproduct of Pink Diamond's intention. Each Diamond seems to bring in a new and diverse set of gems that help benefit the Diamond/gem conquest. Maybe the Rose Quartzes were meant to have these sort of powers, it was just that Rose discovered her healing powers first, whatever the case may be. The Rose Quartzes are all bubbled, and we have no set time frame when they were bubbled in relation to Rose's rebellion. Its possible that other Rose Quartzes have healing powers as well, but since theyre all bubbled, we have nothing to say they do or dont
Actually, at the time the roses could have been the ones designated for that purpose because the famethysts are holding down the fort, but obviously not very well because they dont really know how to react to the pain of the zoomans, so when the roses were gone and the war was over, the zoo was left standing and they had a lot of unnecessary warriors that had no purpose, so the roses could have actually been for the zoo and it still fit the motives of homeworld and the overall plot
i totally agree with the idea that crystal rose is the only one to have healing powers. like how peridot is the only one to have mental-i mean metal powers(i think it could evolve into mental powers.)
think about it remember when perediot gained metal manipulation powers due to the situation she but never knew about it till she was forced to , same thing could apply for rose when she came in contact with humans
All I'll say is that, according to Eyeball, Rose's healing ability was something rumored, something not proven until Steven demonstrated it himself. If other Rose Quartzes had this power, it would have presumably been common knowledge to other red-hued Gems around at the time like Eyeball.
Whether this was a power that Rose had since her emergence, or was something she acquired later, I'm believe that only the Diamonds themselves have the power to heal cracked gemstones, so Rose's power is derived, directly or indirectly, from them.
My two cents is rose is the most powerful healer. Like how some of the gems have lesser abilities like for example how pearl can sort of manipulate sand on a small scale. Rose Quartz abilities may vary from gem to gem and could even have different effects. But rose being unique might be what made her stand out for Pink Diamond. Healing a cracked gem is certainly a valued skill and I'm sure it was pretty guarded in the beginning. Hell it might be another factor in what started the war in the first place.
I believe, with the Wanted special, it is safe to conclude that, yes, Rose could be the only healing gem:
"But I healed your gem!" (Steven)
"And who else has the ability to heal gems?.." (Eyeball, in reference to Rose)
At least, Eyeball believes she was the only one, so perhaps Homeworld made all Rose Quarts gems with healing abilities, realised they might all turn out our Rose (a rebel) and the Diamonds told their subjects it was only the one so they could keep order.
That's just my theory, though, so feel free to tell me about anything else on it.
Emma MLP1700 eyeball prob knows all other rose quartz were bubbled
I think that all Rose Quartz's had the ability to heal, but because of their soldier status, they were probably required to not use it unless in dire situations, such as a superior officer being cracked. However, our Rose being Rose, was one of a kind in a sense that she wanted to use her healing powers on whoever needed it and not just in special circumstances. That's my theory anyway.
Maybe our Rose Quartz was one of the first gems to be made on Earth. Maybe she was the first, and possibly only Rose Quartz to come from Earth. It would explain a lot about her free spirit and why she's so different, why she's so attached to the Earth moreso than Homeworld and why she is totes cool with bucking the Homeworld hierarchy. Maybe that was her special connection with Pink Diamond as well, she was Pink Diamonds first creation on Earth.
Mabye our Rose Quartz was the only rose quartz that could heal other gems.
Also, I think the reason the human zoo functions quite well without rose quartzs is because its current residents are GENERATIONS after the original humans. By now, they've gotten used to the zoo, no legends of earth survived and they have no reason to escape or get hurt. I imagine that during the first couple of generations, the rose quartzs were necessary.
They possibly were made to help guard and take care of the Zoo, then were simply replaced by the others once they got bubbled. If that's all they were really used for, it could explain why they didn't mind bubbling the rest
The other part of the Theory that seemed harder to debunk that wasn't mentioned was that Rose Quartz...es? are much more human appearing than other gems and have a shield instead of an offensive weapon.
They may not have been the healers of the zoo, but they may have been caretakers of the zoo and it has since become automated without them. After all, there were a ton of amethysts and a few other gems on the zoo - maybe they're filling the role of the Roses? Maybe our Rose was the rose who healed that one human - sparking her interest in them? It doesn't mean the other Roses had healing powers, evidenced by the ruby and lapis.
Eyeball the Ruby has twice said that Steven's Mom was the only gem capable of healing in the universe. Once in Bubbled as you described, then again in The Trial, where Eyeball flat out says "And who else can heal, but the Villainous Rose Quartz"?
Eyeball said that while standing between two Diamonds. And nobody corrected her. The statement stands.
Somehow, Steven's Mom, who according to Bismuth was a completely normal rose quartz soldier when she was made, somehow acquired a power unique to all gems in the universe.
And while thousands of rose quartz soldiers fell to the Diamonds and got bubbled in the Zoo, Steven's Mom was able to fight the three Diamonds.. and win.
This is why I think Pink Diamond granted her powers to Rose. I can't think of anything else that would allow Rose to do all these things.
Well, our Rose Quartz is also the first gem we've seen to have a shield rather than a weapon. So it might be possible that the defense based roses had the power. We don't know much about the others yet.
I think that they'd all have healing powers because that'd give them a reason for bubbling all of them
J10 could still have been referring to a rosequartz coming in and helping a hurt gem. But it would have been our/the Rosequartz. Perhaps the Human Zoo is where Rosequartz had her first interaction with humans, and is where she fell in love with the human race. Then, it would be fit for all the bubbled rosequartzes to be there in the zoo, as a reminder of how the rebellion, gem war, and shattering of Pink Diamond began.
Rose quartz has a defense weapon ...a shield... she had to have a sword made which means she was designed to defend; her healing powers and quarts soldier stature shows that she's a "protector-nurturer" of some kind. I wouldn't be surprised if rose was a pacifist at first and had to resort to violence in order to protect the ones she loved.
I think the reason Lapis and Eyeball were shocked was because they never new a gem/human hybrid could exist and were confused as to why a human would have gem abilities
Eyeball clearly stated Rose's healing to be a rumor, a legend. Exact words: "I... I can't believe it! There were rumors back during the war, that Rose Quartz could heal her Crystal Gem soldiers, keeping her small army in contention with the superior forces of Homeworld."
Does that sound like being surprised about a hybrid? She didn't know if Rose could actually heal, even after the war.
I think that all or if not then most Rose quartz's had the ability to heal, the reason I say this is because of the earrings. I think that they put those earrings on the humans to make sure they didn't get hurt because they now knew that the gems that were meant to help them if they were hurt was out of commission.
i still think that the rose quartz gem was a field medic,but they were made late during the war due to the casualties.
blue had them in the zoo so all of them could be in the same place
I just realized something: If Homeworld never needed any military forces before, why did they make so many Quartz soldiers in the first place?
I think the Rose Quartzes being made just to take care humans is silly. Why would Blue or Yellow Diamond let Pink Diamond waste precious mineral on pet caretakers? Rose Quartzes were probably the tanks because of the bubbles.
I will go with what AwestruckVox said. Rose Quartz (as the gem type.) All have healing powers... but don't know they /have/ healing powers. Rose only found out after she decided to be different and care for others.
I have an idea/theory. When yellow diamond says "an army had a use they can go and fight a war" which is probably the quartz armies. But the diamonds probably didn't think a rebellion would start at all, so how where any quartz made for the army for a war which was unseen, and most of all how was rose made if not in war, so have they had wars earlier, have gems rebelled before? If so then they would all be shattered because the crystal gems are only Ines which are spoken about. So what does this mean? Please reply if anyone has ideas
What I think is that all Quartz had the ability to heal but since they shattered all of them and only rose was left they automatically know who rose / Steven is
Maybe all roses have the possibility to have healing power but our rose's unique personality made her the only one to chow signs of it
And now The Trial...
"And who else has the ability to heal gems, other than the villainous Rose Quartz?!"
OMG cool theory! You are the best btw!
I think all rose quarts may have had healing powers, but the diamonds could not trust any more rose quarts after one rebelled otherwise they would probably still use them
I believe that the power of a rose quartz was mostly kept a secret. The only people that knew were the ones that worked at the zoo or is an extremely high ranking(for example blue diamond and the pearls) The reason that even people who might have known about the power, for example Eyeball, can tell 100% that he is rose because all the other rose quartz were bubbled
Rose Quartz's healing ability and Peridot's metal manipulation abilities seem to me to be unique to only them. Gem corruption may have a complementary of gem enhancement. My current theory is that the Earth itself is causing both effects on gems.
maybe pink diamond could heal and maybe it was unique to her, so for Rose Quartz to be able it's significant?
Do you think its like how peridot didnt know she had the power to control metal till she came to earth and explored what she could do outside of what the diamond Authority used peridots for?
I think the reaction of the gems was from the point that they all thought rose gems were all shatered and only rose gems had healing powers and for a healing Gem to be alive its surprising and goes agents there prior knolage
Maybe Pink Diamond was trying to make her own healing Rose Quartz and that’s why so many were made
The ability to heal cracked gemstones may well be something restricted to the Diamonds. If a worthy warrior like Jasper somehow got her gemstone damaged, and there was no Diamond nearby, I supposed she could be deliberately poofed and bubbled for transportation to a Diamond.
Since I've thought that Rose Quartz is too overpowered, her healing ability may have been something taken from Pink Diamond.
because in the beginning of the zoo the humans were unsure and frightend so the quartz would comfort them when it became clear they were safe there they didn't need the qaurtz
your a really good theory finder/explainer
Here's a question for Otaku about Rose's ability to heal? Was if it's a ability that was developed only by Rose Quartz that were created on earth? I've a theory that while most gems of the same kind have mostly similar abilities, they can develop powers unique only to those type of gems created on the same planet. Homeworld seem to be more about efficiency and having the all gems of the same type the same/similar jobs, so it wasn't truly noticed or cared for. That could explain both why Rose's ability was so unique and why Peridot discovers her metal controlling ability despite never even thinking it's a power despite Peridots existing long before the rebellion.
maybe lion is pink diamond. maybe pink diamond and rose had a plan to fake the shattering of pink diamond to stop the colonization but as the diamonds sung the corruption song, pink diamond was also corrupted. that explains why when lion tileports to the moon base the portal is like a diamond
I also think Rose was the only one with a healing ability, probably a trait given to her by pink diamond. It's a possibility that Rose has this ability because she was the first rose quartz ever made. Who knows?
What I wonder about is, since all of the jaspers, amethysts, and even the carnelian at the zoo were from the alpha kindergarten, where were all of those bubbled rose quartzes made? Was Rose actually a homeworld gem?
Maybe Rose Quartzes all could heal but our Rose was the only one to learn it because most gems don’t cry or are vulnerable like the crystal gems and especially not in a situation that would result in healing powers surfacing.
Maybe they all shocked about Stevens healing power, cause they know that all roses are bubbled :o
I think all rose quartz soldiers have healing powers but our rose is the only one to unlock them and now the rose quartzs won't get that chance since they are bubbled
Maybe rose grew close to the humans by healing them in the zoo then that's why she realized why earth is so much more
i think there is more healing rose quartz, but because of rose home world never let the other roses come out because they were afraid that the others would do the same as rose and betray the home world... or so i think???
vox sent me and your vids are really high quality i am subbing
What if Rose Quartz was a member of a diamonds court?? I mean think about it, there are abilities that are extremely rare, and healing is one of them, it’s comparable to sapphires ability to see into the future.
what if the bubbled rose quartzes in pink diamonds shrine place are failed rose quartzes because they didn't have healing powers and only one came out right aka our rose/steven
I don't know what to comment. I probably shouldn't comment if I don't have anything to comment, but I'm still going to comment this.
I wonder if Rose Quartz are a new type of Gem/variation, that they discovered solely on Earth, and as such the healing ability are their special thing, like Lapis's power to control water. I.e. why people are shocked about this ability, as the other Roses didn't know they had it till our Rose.
Maybe because Rose's felt more and that's why, at least with our Rose, most of her abilities are tied to emotion. Guessing after Rose's uprising, Homeworld bubbled the other Roses, incase they thought like the other Rose, and started other uprisings all over their different spheres of influence.
They could be multiple but ruby probably already knew that the other rose quartz were bubbled
SliceofOtaku I had this thought floating around in my mind since Steven Universe mention that Pink Diamond was shattered. If Rose Quartz had healing abilities that Steven inherited can heal cracked gems (even teddy bears) shouldn't he be able to heal a completely shattered gem if he had all the pieces?
Who else really wants one of those bubbled quartz gems pops and a gem regenerates.
I don't understand why EVERY Steven Universe speculator have the same voice!
The Roundtable, SliceOfOtaku, Swaggy Thunder... they all have the same voice!
I think they have the potential to do it. look at peridot she didn't know she had the potential to control metal and only found out after she worked on finding her powers. So maybe all gems have powers or potential powers they don't know. So maybe all these rose quartz have the powers but need something to unlock them. Just like Steven had to learn his powers in the beginning like his shield and stuff.
its possible that other rose quartz could only heal humans, hence the bathtime, and that the tears had eternal healing power, hence rose's fountain healing amethyst
