Something I forgot to state in this video - in Know Your Fusion, Pearl was the lowest on the "You Like This Little Man?" Power scale but the only one on there who wasn't a fusion. This means Pearl is the strongest non fusion gem on the team.
also this is a great theory! I totally agree because despite what garnet said I still found it hard to believe that Rose directly was the one who shattered Pink Fiamond
I really like coming back in 2019 and seeing him get so close to the plot twist. Like, 'it was PEARL!' DUN DUN DUN!! And it's like, 'you're not technically wrong, good job.' 'Rose played a part in it, but took the fall.' 'Not too far off!' Let's just sit back for a moment and be amazed by this.
I believe Rose shattering Pink Diamond happened early in the rebellion phase. The experience was so traumatizing that Rose made the conscious decision to never shatter another gem ever again. That's why she was against using Bizmuth's Breaking Point despite having shattered Pink Diamond before.
That actually makes the most sense. Rose saw what happened when she shattered pink diamond and most likely decided that they would never shatter another gem (that would explain the bubbling as well)
It's actually likely that Pink Diamond's shattering was the Rebellion's first move. If Pearl really was responsible, it likely would've had to be in the context of an assassination: as PD's Pearl, she would've had enough trust to get in close and take her out with the element of surprise. Then there's the fact that Blue Diamond was leading the fight against the Rebellion. Why would the presence of another Diamond be necessary unless Earth's Diamond - Pink Diamond - had been killed?
if you don't mind me asking how did rose even shatter pink diamond we all know she didn't use breaking point and her sword bismuth said it never shatter the gem
+redfox 23157 She isn't pink diamonds pearl otherwise her gem would be on her stomach and before you reply "no! because rose isn't pink diamond!" I didn't say she was because in back to the moon pink diamonds gem is clearly on her stomach (ya really stupid if ya didn't know dat. no offence.)
Is lion anyone else's favorite character (besides peridot obviously) or is it just me I think this because 1.Lion just does whatever the crap lion wants 2.Lions origin is probably the most mysterious 3.Lion just appears when ever lion wants to 3.5.and somehow whenever something important happens like bismuth,fighting jasper, lapis, the moon base etc. 4.Lion likes lion lickers 5.Lion is adorable 6.PINK LION!!! like if you agree👍
For Japanese we actually have to draw an animal on an a4 piece of paper with the Japanese name (I can't remember which) and I chose lion... I feel like crap today though so I can't work on it since 'we have to work on it in class'... :/
+Cereza But there's no evidence that Rose shattered pink diamond except Garnets word. Garnet most likely came to Earth after Pink Diamond got shattered So Rose could have just lied to her face. Rose did keep a lot of secrets from the gems.
iPandaMyuu Actually, there's very little likelihood that Garnet came before PD's shattering. However, Garnet has never explicitly stated that "Rose shattered Pink Diamond". Like it was mentioned in the video, she used pronouns. Plus, there's still the possibility that she didn't know that it was Pearl. The possibility that Garnet wasn't there is very likely.
"Everything I did... I did for her" so Pearl disobeyed rose and shatter pink diamond. Eyeball said it. Garnet said it. Pearls reaction clearly shows rose did it. STOP MAKING THESE GODAWFUL THEORIES
And before someone says, "the rubies are dumb, if Pearl shapeshifted into rose.. I don't have any evidence to back that up except the first thing I said
***** I understand where all the commotion is coming from, because Rose is honestly the last person you'd picture killing someone, but we've seen how diamonds are. You can't talk to them! Besides, Rose wouldn't be Rose if she didn't have some kind of dark secret behind her,
It's both not a big deal and also a big deal. Taking a life is indeed big deal...but you can take a life and still be a good person: say you kill a terrorist before they do something horrible (call to mind "let's roll"), or if you defend your family from a home invasion, or a soldier defending your country...etc. All are ultimately heroic acts. It's still terrible and traumatic, but you did the right thing.
But Jasper would have known about Pink Diamond's shattering, and she fought during the rebellion. I doubt she would show as much fealty to the Diamond she belonged to as she did in "Earthlings" if that Diamond shattered before she came out. And she was made after the rebellion started because the Eyeball Ruby relates anecdotes that Jasper "was born with her helmet on and took out 80 Crystal Gems before the sun went down". She would have had to have known Pink Diamond for some time at least to develop such a strong loyalty. Therefore Pink Diamond would have had to have been shattered during or nearing the end of the Gem War.
She fought during the rebellion. Pink Diamond's death lead to the rebellion. It's entirely possible that Jasper was made RIGHT before the rebellion. It's also entirely possible to see a shattered pink diamond and think it was Rose who did it. Really, at this point, no one can say for sure who exactly did it because it was just mentioned.
rose did say that gems are just born (made)knowing what they have to do and based on some dialogue before jasper got corrupted and when peridot was showing amethyst and steven different holes of jaspers and whe came to our jasper it seems she was specifically made to fight and shatter rose which would explain her fixation on rose. So it is possible she was made after pink diamond was shattered.
Please hear me out guys, I truly believe that Pink Diamond is very Kind. Remember before Blue abducted Greg? He asked her if She and Pink were close, and Blue's answer was "VERY". try to imagine a gentle, soft toned, demure, smiling Blue Diamond talking casually with a free spirited, laughing Pink Diamond, wouldn't they look natural? That is why I believe she is not brutal. And I also believe that Rose did not shatter Pink Diamond. Rubies, Sapphires, Pearls or any other gems did not shatter her. Guys according to science a Diamond is the hardest mineral on earth and only a Diamond can lay a scratch to another Diamond, and I believe that law is also applied in Steven Universe, which means Its either Yellow or White Diamond who shattered her. Maybe she was not in favor of the cluster to be planted on Earth which led to their fight and the tragic shattering of Pink, wether on purpose or accidentally. This is my theory..
Ariana Enriquez We haven't met White Diamond yet and don't know her stance on Pink Diamond's death yet so I find that possible, putting off the blame on a Quarts gem would be easy to do and a ruby like Eyeball has proven to be easily fooled, and a diamonds influence would make the lie all the more believable to her. Yellow Diamond seemed to at least miss Pink, and mourn for her in her own way. So White Diamond being the culprit makes the most sense to me
Sommer Looney they just framed Rose Quartz because if two of the Diamonds (wether Yellow and Blue or White and Blue) would know that one of their sisters was killed then there might be a 1 vs 2 Diamond battle.
Ariana Enriquez It's quite possible that White Diamond's personality clashed with Pink's and she actually prevented Pink from having colonies in the first place because she may have felt she was incompetent or the most unworthy of the Diamonds, which could explain why she only had one colony. The reason behind the shattering could've corresponded with her believing Pink Diamond had made a mistake with her colony, or maybe the rebellion had proved her incompetence to her. She took a chance and no one would question it when it was said that the leader of the rebellion, who was once a member of the Pink court, shattered the Diamond that threatened the world she fought for.
It's common sense . It's just abit foolish to try and lie to Steven so thoroughly after hearing a gem say they saw rose shatter pink diamond. And most likely other gems saw this too . Think about it . Lying to Steven is no better than when pearl lied to Garnet . Then to tell him later would just be even more foolish as there's no point .
again. garnet wasnt there. also, just look at pearls reaction when eyeball mentioned it. it wasnt so much her being upset that it was brought back up, her face looked REALLY guilty. Also she was shaking and sweating when it happened.
+Team Cardfighters United Yes, she looked guilty and started sweating, more than likely because she was at the forefront of singing praises for Rose. Steven thought his mother was a kind-hearted figure who loved all gems, but isn't one of the themes of the show that you can make mistakes? Peridot made mistakes, but saw the error in her ways and repented, just like Lapis. Jasper was certain to the very end that she was in the right, that she would not be manipulated, so she did not see her errors as errors. In a war situation, you need to make decisions that are not nice or friendly, because that seems like the only way at the time. It would be infinitely more interesting if Rose took a life, understood that what she did was wrong and stopped doing that altogether. Change is a theme in the show, so it fits.
Yellow: military Blue: technology White: government Pink: colonization It could be even harder to find new planets because pink specialized in finding new planets.
They did plenty of colonization before Pink Diamond even existed though. All of the other Diamonds have several planets, whereas Pink only has the Earth.
Chill guys, this is just speculation based off the little that we see of and about the diamonds. And for clarification, I meant pink diamond was in charge of finding the planets, not neccessarily converting them to gem colonies. I just couldn't think of the right word
This is really, _really_ long, so I do have a TL:DR at the bottom. That being said, here goes: *Pink Diamond's shattering had to have happened way later in the timeline. It couldn't have been the start of the war.* If Pink Diamond's shattering was what started the war, then we know exactly where Jasper was: nowhere, because she hadn't even been planted in the ground at that point. Peridot said that the Beta Kindergarten was created in response to the loss of gems due to the rebellion, so Jasper only came out of the ground long after the rebellion had started, and probably near the end of the war, based on our limited knowledge of how long gems incubate. (Amethyst was 500 years late, according to Peridot, and she came out after the end of the war (or else she would have been corrupted), so the Prime Kindergarten gems must have come out when the 1,000 year war was at least halfway over, and the Beta Kindergarten gems would have been much later than that, considering that the Prime Kindergarten has been implied to have been planted before the rebellion started. (Remember what Greg said to Steven about why Rose had betrayed her kind in The Return? Rose started the rebellion in response to the planting of the Prime Kindergarten.)) Since we were told that the Beta was established in response to the rebellion, and that Jasper was made for Pink Diamond (regardless of whether PD had been shattered before Jasper came out, Jasper was created to serve PD), it seems apparent to me that Pink Diamond's shattering was NOT the beginning of the war. After all, Jasper (and the other Beta gems) would have been designed with living Diamonds in mind, such as Yellow, rather than an already-dead Diamond. *All that having been said, here's my theory.* I'm inclined to believe that Rose really did shatter Pink Diamond, as the show said, but, even if Pearl did it, that doesn't really matter. _Pink Diamond's shattering was the rebellion's final blow._ Up to that point, the rebellion had been annoying and had cost the Authority some good gems, but it had been little more than that. The Authority was confident that, eventually, they would overrun the rebellion and reclaim earth, since the rebellion couldn't really harm the highest levels of the Authority and certainly could not defeat the vast amounts of gems at the Diamonds' disposal. Rose, seeing that the only way to get the Diamonds to leave the earth alone would be to hit them where it counts, decided to shatter Pink Diamond. (Whether Pearl carried out the dirty work is irrelevant, though I think Rose would have enough honor to do it herself rather than command her friend to do it for her.) The Authority, staggering under the blow of Pink's death and realizing that all gems now knew that a Diamond could, in fact, be killed, decided to cut all losses and leave earth with all the dignity of a five-year-old, detonating the corruption meant to infect all gems on earth without even bothering to get all of their own gems off and leaving the Cluster to eventually destroy the earth entirely with the "If I can't have it, no one can," mentality. This theory aligns with what Garnet was saying at the end of Bubbled about how Rose did what was best for earth, not for her. Rose had literally tried everything before she resorted to the very last option: murder. This also aligns with what we've seen of Rose's character. Rose valued all life, even the lives of the Diamonds, and was completely unwilling to shatter anyone, but, finally, she realized that too many gems were dying on both sides, and that it was best to do whatever was necessary to end the conflict, so she took one life to save the lives of gems on both sides of the war, not to mention the humans and other creatures on earth. *Of course*, this is just my theory, but it's what makes the most sense with all of the evidence. If there's something I missed, either in support or to the contrary, please let me know, and if you believe in the theory that Pink's death started the war and have a counter-argument to mine, I'd love to have a friendly discussion with you in the replies. No one can know for sure, and I know that I am a fallible being. That being said, I'd really love to see what you all have to say in response to this. *_TL:DR_* Due to what we know about the planting of the Kindergartens and when Amethyst and Jasper came out, combined with the fact that Jasper was made for Pink Diamond, it seems apparent that Pink Diamond's death happened long after the beginning of the war. My counter-theory is that her death was what caused Homeworld to finally retreat. Rose only shattered Pink Diamond as a very last resort, which is consistent with her character without having to try to pin her actions on Pearl.
yeah but what if Jasper was one of the Jasper soldiers that fought for her shattered pink diamond and that would be why she had something against rose when she first met steven at the end of season2 or 3.
This doesn't relate to the video, but I found something out. In the episode, Rose's Room, Steven's gem opens up, well, Rose's Room. Notice how in the end of the episode when Steven falls out in the abyss of the fake beach city, the tiny floating whale says: "What do you want, Steven?" And how when the pink whale speaks, it's voiced by Rose's voice actor. What if Rose's room is the only place where steven can "communicate" with Steven? If you could add more evidence, could you possibly make this a Crystal Clear episode? Thanks!
I think she was shuddering because she didn't want steven to know, she'd kept those secrets from him for years, and she's scared to explain why rose shattered diamond
Just like every single time she reveals something important that could affect him in a deep level,like in "the ocean gem" where she reveals steven that theyve been fighting gems all along cuz they were corrupted and they didnt know how to help them so they bubble them,or how they hesitated to let steven know gems originally invaded earth to gather its resources and destroy it with the cluster project as we got to know in some episodes of season 1 and the cluster arc in season 2. They are always trying to protect steven,imagine if they told all of that to him since the beggining,poor steven wouldve had a mental break down,theres a time and place for everything Thats what we are supposed to get out of episodes like this,a message,we are supposed to look beyond the obvious,thats why this series is so good,it looks childish and straight forward in the surface but it reaches you in a deep level. I cant believe how many times i get serious neon genesis evangelion levels of deep emotional and existential stuff out of steven universe.
+Dusk Moon64 Yup. Both Pearl and Rose have mysterious orgins. But when it comes down to it we simply know nothing about Pearl. At least we know how Rose thinks because of her time with Greg.
One thing about Garnet, she protects Steven from things she doesn't think he should know. So it still is a possibility that Garnet knows, and she would be protecting Steven from finding out that PEARL, one of the most prominent mother figures of his life, was actually the one who did it, he could be scared forever
and in case TR reply, I've watch the video and like nothing is properly is explained. You're doing what everyone did with various theories and taking shots in the dark with only half evidence to back it up. There's no reason that actually makes sense that it would have been pearl who did the deed. Rose was supposedly seen by Eyeball and the entirety of gem culture seems to have decided that it was definitely Rose that did the dirty, Garnet may be playing the pronoun game, but not directly, only when you take that sentence and absolutely nothing else from the clip could it be left open. They were talking (quite precisely) about did ROSE really do it, did ROSE really shatter her. There's a reason Pearl may not like shapeshifting and it could very well be the fact that for pearl, everything has to be perfect and therefore shapeshifting would take away from that, it could be the same reason as Pdot that she simply just doesn't like it or it could just be that she's never had a reason to. Her being shaken up about PD being shattered also makes perfect sense, much like the reason Garnet was upset but again Pearl ALWAYS goes for a more dramatic route. Her shock is for the obvious reason, she adores Rose more than anything and she loves Roses son almost as much, and then right in front of Rose's son her name is defiled from what Steven knows, imagine how that would have felt to Pearl? Knowing that her secret to save Rose's name for Steven just got let out just like that. The ONLY hope that this theory could EVER work on is the idea that the ONLY witness was Eyeball AND his vision was blurred and as a result she could only a silhouette and assumed it was Rose. The evidence isn't in your favor in the slightest, just a bunch of moments that have been unexplained, had a explanation forced on them mixed in with some half-truthes.
+Luke Killerman we don't know that. honestly I think he's wrong. it was obviously extremely early in the war. Lapis Lazuli was there, so it was before the battle at Strawberry Battlefield. Plus, it seems the only Crystal Gems are Rose and Pearl. it makes sense that Garnet would be the first to join other than R and P. I don't think Rose just SUDDENLY had an army, it would've happened slowly. so, The Answer probably took place BEFORE Pink Diamond got shattered. On a side note, my theory is the last thing to happen was Pink Diamond being shattered. it makes sense that the Diamonds would call their troops back after that. So, that's what I think
+Luke Killerman then why are LITERALLY 95% OF THE GEM STRUCTURES ON EARTH BLUE? I think Pink was there to do the Kindergartens. I mean, there are red crystals everywhere. I think Blue was the one doing structures. I mean, no structures are pink. just blue. or even if that isn't right, The Diamonds could've sent Blue because there were some rebels. AND EVEN IF THAT DOESNT WORK, who says it wasn't Sapphire or Ruby? it SEEMS like rubies used to be Pink Diamond's, so Ruby could have seen it. im just saying, his theory is mainly an excuse to keep rose perfect, but the show is trying to say she has a darker side, which is a great thing! this theory is ridiculous. and whose to say Eyeball was the only one there. but that's just my theory
What he's saying is everyone thinks that Rose did it. That Rose and Pearl lied to everyone. Pearl was the only one who didn't openly admit it. She dodged the question a bit.
+Ricard Sistach not only that, if Eyeball can easily be fooled by Amethyst transforming into Jasper, then it wouldn't be different for her to be fooled by Pearl transformed as Rose.
"(To Steven)AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO MY DIAMOND!" "I saw it with my own eye, I saw Rose Quartz shatter pink diamond." "She had to, for pearl to be free, for Amethyst to be herself, for me to be together, for you to exist." Are you kidding me.
eh, no. I think rose did shatter pink diamond. she knows exactly what to keep secret from everyone she was trying to protect. rose knows a lot more than what she led on, but disguised all of that with Dr normal appealing sweet self
+Death Lord yes that is true, but who's to say that once pink diamonds physical form was destroyed, rose smashed the gem to smithereens. You saw how strong she was in "greg the babysitter"
+Malachite Madness maybe rose stepped on pink diamonds gem hard and it shattered or maybe diamonds can be poofed and rose put her in a bubble I don't know just a guess
The Pearl shapeshifting as Rose makes a lot more sense now that I was reminded that Amethyst actually fooled the Rubies into thinking she was actually Jasper, even Eyeball. (for the ones reading the Pear comments and being confused, I originally forgot the l in Pearl.)
Why would Pearl let Rose take the blame for something so dire. She especially wouldn't let Steven think Rose shattered someone when she didn't. It is not who Pearl is, and this theory ignores her character. She loves Rose more than anything, and would do about anything to make her look like a hero. Pearl wouldn't let Rose take the blame, because she wants people to see Rose as the hero Pearl sees her as. Shattering a Diamond wasn't heroic in Steven's mind.
Pearl loves Rose so much that Pearl would be shattered for her. I believe Rose can beg Pearl enough to have Rose take the blame. And if Rose told her to keep it a secret, Pearl would rather be bubbled for centuries then to tell another gem.
+iPandaMyuu She would not! Like you said, she'd die for her, no matter what Rose said. She poofed many times no matter Rose's begging. She would not, WOULD NOT, let Rose look bad for her.
So my thought when I saw the title of this video was actually that Pearl shattered Pink Diamond in order to defend Rose from an attack in the heat of battle or something. Imagine that there's a fight, a battle at the highest level of Gem Government. Rose and Pearl are fighting side by side, and Pink Diamond sees an opportunity to strike. Pearl spots the attempt at the attack just soon enough to lift or throw her spear up at Diamond's gem, shattering it, and possibly even getting pooffed by P. Diamond in the process. This leaves Rose Quartz as the lone remaining figure over the shards of a Diamond, leading Eyeball to believe that Rose had committed the act. Eyeball's eye witness account must be examined with the assumption that it is incomplete and biased, as most eye witness accounts are. That's what I think could have happened anyways.
+sofia Rodas jasper was made in the beta kindergarten and pink diamond owned earth and moon. Pink diamond was shattered so jasper resigned to yellow diamond
+Mason Watkins I'm pretty sure the rubies can distinguish colors like when they asked amethyst about her color she said it was because of the sun rays and they believed it was jasper who had a tan plus in the episode bubble eyeball said to Steven that she knows rose quarts was a specific pink so pearl being the one to shattered pink diamond is wrong plus why would she let rose take the blame by shape-shifting into her I thought she loved her
Dude, they were tricked by amethyst because she turned into jasper, even with amy's gem being visable. So this does make sense. They even had completely different colour pallets and they were tricked.
well, we need a flash back to see the full event. Until we get that, we are still in the dark but it is fair to say that the rubies were easily tricked so this could still be a possibility.
Strength in fighting from non-fusions 1. Rose Quartz (She defeated a fusion of 3 with closed eyes literally) 2. Lapis Lazuli w/ Water 3. Jasper 4. Bismuth (Probably not that strong without her weapons, but definitely stronger than Pearl) 5. Pearl 6. Steven Universe (Got much stronger by start of Season 4) 7. Amethyst (Short Quartz) 8. Lapis Lazuli w/o Water 9. Peridot (Without tech but with metal powers) 10. Ruby (Built for fighting, but only in numbers) 11. Sapphire (High ranking, built for future sight not for fighting, but can easily escape due to fast speed) Pearl is 5th out of 11 current non fusion, non diamond gems. Jasper and Lapis, who are probably weaker than the Diamonds, can beat Pearl almost effortlessly. And Rose probably shattered PD, but was haunted by it so she decided never to shatter another gem again. Also, Garnet herself said that Rose shattered PD, and Garnet has future vision. Eyeball said that she saw it herself. Pearl is not strong enough to shatter a Diamond.
Man your theory and my are same what if pink diamond isn't dead if she is captured And by the end of war she got corapted and the accident in which pink diamond was shattered is fake because purl shape shifted in her to make a mess that the diamond is dead . #themostbrilisntplanever
Dunnygirl21 Rose was completely against shattering any gems, and if Pink Diamond is as loving of the Earth as Rose Quartz was, she wouldn't have wanted to see it hollowed out and colonized either, so she came up with the plan of her shattering with Rose to stop the Diamonds attack on Earth (it's a theory, don't judge me)
Nkiruka J I don't judge you. I don't think it was rose either. I think it was white diamond...because I think pink diamond wanted to save the earth and its creatures. I think pink diamond told white diamond that she didn't want to destroy the planet and gave the rose quartz the power to heal and love earth. I think white diamond didn't like that and ordered pearl, our pearl with a white pearl in the center of her heard like her diamond, to destroy her or at least she did it herself.
While i like this theory, i think i would prefer if Rose was actually the one to shatter her. Like you said, everyone has this perfect image of Rose, she could do no wrong. But i think it would make her character more interesting if she did shatter pink diamond, then she wouldn't be the perfect Rose everyone /thinks/ they know and love, if Rose ends up being a morally grey character instead to show that no one is purely good or bad, that in this war gems had to do some things they wouldn't normally do. Great theory though :)
Also i would just like to add, if Steven can push Eyeball out of his bubble to save himself and let Eyeball go floating off into space, then Rose can shatter someone to save everyone else.
I'm glad you take that perspective on this. There are so many people outright rejecting the theory in a rude way, so it's refreshing to see you politely disagreeing, explaining why, and then still acknowledging that Vox made a good theory. I guess I just wanted to say thank you for that.
BRUH. So with the new episodes, the judge lady was basically all "How could a rose quarts get close enough to a diamond without anyone noticing it and her pearl bein all AHHHH"??? So if pearl was Pink diamonds pearl, then she coulda been close enough, and shape shifted into Rose, then shattered her. It just makes sense?
vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/stevenuniversetheoryzone/images/a/aa/White_Diamond_Moon_Base_Picture.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160107093936 possible foreshadowing
No. Everyone keeps coming up with random theories to excuse Rose's actions, but it needs to stop. Rose. Shattered. Pink. Diamond. Ruby saw it, Garnet knows it was her, and we had two episodes about Steven dealing with the fact that she did it. Well, to those of you saying Rose is Pink Diamond, or that Pearl shattered her, I have one thing to say: it was war. People have do horrible things during war. She may have been her best friend, or greatest creation, but no matter what someone says, she killed her. Nobody else had the power, skill, and army to do so, and Rose, before Back to the Moon, was always a complete Mary Sue, so she NEEDS a dark side. Stop making excuses!
one thing he missed is that eye said "who cares about her shield, her huge sword is what I remember." that might mean that she never had a shield in the fight.
okay so a lot of people keep saying "no way" to this theory. yes, we all have our opinions, but at the same time when everyone shouts "it was definitely rose" we won't know FOR SURE until we see future episodes covering this topic. I don't agree with this theory, but that's just my opinion. we all have our own theories, so let's just respect each other's thoughts.
Many people seem to forget that Rose is a Quartz soldier. She wasn't always the caring and maternal Gem she is portrayed as. She lied to her friends about Bismuth. She led the rebellion and fought on head lines. More to Rose's violent personality is unknown, but she has one.
_That...seems slightly abstract. Rose gave up her physical form to birth Steven long after she "won" the Gem War. She was not a soldier AND a mother, only after winning did she stay for almost 6 millennia, and meet Greg in the present._
That isn't exactly shape shifting. When a gem gets poofed, they spend time in their gem, and possible reform if they like. That means their physical body or their clothes. In Pearl's case, it was only clothes. She never changed her physical body in the slightest, they was someone does when they shape shift.
Pearl didn't do it. Look at how her face becomes fearful and heartbroken when Steven learns ROSE shattered Pink Diamond. It's inexplicable that she was scared for Steven learning this about his mother, whereas if Pearl did it, she wouldn't be as freaked out.
I'm still convinced Rose still shattered Pink Diamond because a gem have to be a very powerful to fight a Diamond and I think Rose being a high ranking gem a right hand soldier to Pink Diamond. I think you are like Luke Skywalker just found out Darth Vader was his father and like no that impossible. Vader: look in your heart you know it to be TRUE! It was had to swallow but you have to remember Rose was designed to be a Warrior gem even though Rose choose her own path she probably tried to convince Pink Diamond to Join the Rebellion but Pink Diamond refuse and probably fought Rose and Rose won the fight but in the process she shattered Pink Diamond.
+(͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)BecauseICan( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º) I don't think so her and jasper are the same size and it seems that quartz gems were looked at as high ranking soldiers.
I'm thinking this theory from a long time ago. Pearl shapeshift to rose and shattered pink diamond. And thats why pearl doesn't want to shapeshift again.
Pearl wears blue yellow and pink colors and her skin is white so that maybe plays a big role in her connection to the diamonds or maybe it symbolizes unity or maybe even her thoughts on how she can be whatever she wants.
Or that's just the color combination the designers gave her to stand out. Search "Pearls" in Google Image and you'll see they come in various shades (white, pink, slightly cyan, kind of gold, etc.) and all of those colors are represented in her outfit. A gem's clothing doesn't necessarily represent allegiance. Amethyst has white in her outfit, that doesn't mean she was affiliated with White Diamond.
bubblegumbee There's no such thing as a "regular pearl." Pearls naturally come in many different colors, white ones are just more popular in jewelry, so we see them more often.
***** But my point is that the color of their clothing has no significance at all. Their outfits are just made up of the colors of their particular gemstone. Crack open an amethyst geode and you'll see the white part of the stone, which explains her boot color.
What if rose is a fusion of a quartz gem and pink diamond that same way how smoky quartz came into existence. Here me out before all the hate come. but rose could be a fusion after all. what instead of rose being a quartz gem and pink merging with rose permanently after she was damaged or wounded. pink diamond could be the reason why there is only one rose quartz and not multiple. Rose is bigger than a gem of one type and if you notice rose kind of knew about fusion when she saw garnet and nobody knows what happens when a gem fuses with another gem that have gems in the same spot like permanent or semi permanent fusion or what every gem rose was before absorbing pink diamond made it so that they became one.all other quarts gems name isn't two worlds like jasper, amethyst, etc. Smoky quarts is a fusion and is two gems. and if you think about it, rose quartz have two words in her name just like smoky quartz and even if she is made up of two gems, well a gem and diamond. no one knows what happened with a permanent fusion or gem and diamond fusion.
Steven has asked things about Pink Diamond on Pearl a thousand times and she tried to silenced herself. Also Garnet told Steven "to not make Pearl upset". When Garnet told in Steven and the Off - Colors about Rose's story, she told that Rose shattered Pink D. So...is Garnet telling lies?
Or it's the easiest answer and it was Rose. I think Rose ended up using the Breaking Point. She was the only one who knew about it and she didn't toss it into the lava. Pearl doesn't like to change shape likely for the same reason she doesn't eat food. Not into it for w/e reason..
I don't think it'd be possible for Rose to use breaking point. The stuff in The Answer was stated to take place 5750 years ago, assuming Blue Diamond was dealing with the rebellion because Pink Diamond was already shattered, and Bismuth and Rose Quartz had their confrontation over breaking point 5300 years ago.
Tbh I think you’re right cause if you honestly think about It when someone ever talks about Rose shattering pink. Pearl is always shaken and scared and tries to hide from the truth. And I honestly really love your theories they’re so good and just makes so much sense.
This is a very supported theory, I believe it and I really hope we can learn more about Rose and the gem war soon because that and fusion is my favourite part of the story line at the moment
Before I say this I just like to say I don't hate the Roundtable. I'm just stating how flawed this theory is. And yes I watched the whole video. Most of your "points" are just guesses at quotes with no weight to them. And the fact that you actually think the show is going to go in this direction is ignorant. If they were to take direction, it would destroy Bismuth, Earthlings, Back to the moon, & Bubbles point. To show Rose's dark side and show how she isn't a perfect being. Steven excepting what rose done would be thrown completely out the window. There is no actual evidence to Pearl shattering pink diamond. Pearl can hate shape shifting because she's a perfectionist. Shape shifting would ruin that. And garnet saying "she" was clearly talking about rose because Steven asks why rose killed pink diamond. What rose did caused this show exist. "For Pearl to be free. For amethyst to be herself. For me to be me. For you to exist." Not the exact lines but you get what I'm saying.
This theory literally stops the development of rose. Not to mention there really is not evidence other than guesses. You can't say Ruby was the only gem who saw it. The diamonds knew about it, Jasper knew about it, all of Homeworld knew about it and they knew who done it. Rose Quartz did it
+The Crocodile I agree about how it would ruin Rose's dark side. Steven needs to learn that being a leader means doing things against your personal beliefs sometimes. He can't rightly mature unless what his mom did is actually legit.
dude this is just a theory, theorists don't need much back up as they are just that, a theory, whether true or false it's always interesting like my small theory that rose quartz could still be pink diamond by... well that's another story for another time, but if you do want to hear it tell me
+Makayla Cornett there is no way rose is pink diamond anymore. Even AJ universe a guy who supported the theory early in the show now think that can no longer be a possibility.
So your saying Pearl shape-shifted into Rose and shattered Pink Diamond as Rose.... So your saying the Homeworld Gems didn't realise Rose was suddenly white and had a Pearl on her forehead... Hmm okay then
Rubys are dumb, they fell for Amethyst as Jasper, and we have no other sure-fire home-world eye-witnesses. Plus Rose and Pearl's colours aren't radically different and Roses forelocks could have covered Pearl's gem.
+SaryTheWolf I refer you back to the Answer, and it's clearly obvious that Pearl and Rose have very different colour palettes, yes Pearls Gemstone would probably be obscured but I'm pretty sure there would have been more Gems than just a random Ruby with Pink Diamond at the time, again looking at The Answer Blue Diamond had a large assortment of Gems with her, and various Quartz Gems. If Jasper was the "Perfect Quartz" as Peridot put it, I'm pretty sure Jasper would have been around Pink Diamond too... And Jasper specifically blames Rose for shattering Pink Diamond. I think Pearls shapeshifting reluctance stems from the fact she doesn't like to alter her form if she doesn't have to, it took her 2 Weeks to reform which is abnormally long by the reactions of Garnet and Amethyst, so I'd argue Pearl doesn't like to mess with her form because she spent so long reforming and knows Shapeshifting can damage your form.
In light of the events and revelations of "The Trial," the Pearl shattering Pink theory works. If Rose was already a threat, the only conclusions are that either a Diamond or a Pearl could have done it.
Does anyone think it's significant that Pearl has all the colors (except pink, of course) of all the diamonds? Yellow, blue, white, and pink...She's got yellow shorts, blue shirt, white coloration....hmmm...
Yeah maybe pearl was some kind of 'ultra pearl' she may have served all the diamonds, and only her socks are a very light pink un like her other colours, maybe it's to remember pink diamond😙
they shared one ultra pearl because the diamonds weren't always together but needed to keep all the gems in line so to communicate they used the ultra pearl
That last thing you said, about Pearl being so shook up while Eyeball was talking about being there was GREAT! I would have never looked at that scene the way you did! Awesome.
What I'm most curious about is why Pink Diamond had to be shattered and why they couldn't just bubble her. Sure, bubbling her would mean that Pink Diamond could conceivably return at some point in the future if she was freed by the Homeworld Gems, but was she really that dangerous? What about Blue Diamond - if Rose and Pearl had gotten to her during that attack in The Answer, would they have shattered her as well?
+Phlebas Shattering Pink might have been a statement to Homeworld, as well as trying to get them off the Earth with the idea that there were rouge gems shattering Diamonds. But yeah, now I'm wondering why they couldn't just bubble her...unless Diamonds can't be bubbled.
NerdCrafts Then how did Rose shatter Pink if she can't poof her? Maybe she found Pink's weak point but you'd think that would be concealed in the body and not accessible.
+martiansascha7 She shattered her directly, while she still had her hard light form. She just needed a direct blow to PD's gemstone (idk how much force she must have needed to shatter a diamond but whatevs) and she was a goner
I think that's a good view to have on Steven Universe theories in general. We'll see if there is any more evidence for or against this theory, and then we'll have it confirmed either way. Side note: This is not a problem at all, but next to TH-cam comments there are three grey dots stacked on top of each other. If you click the dots next to your own comments, you can edit them and fix typos without leaving another comment. (I don't know if you already know this or not, I'm just trying to be helpful)
I can't follow that in the episode that will be all yellow states "she was shattered by a rose quartz" leading me to believe that they would have saw the gem stone apron pearls head if she did shape shift
Lazylegion Leader Not if it was covered by Roses bangs. Amethyst always has half her gem covered by a shirt, this shows that gems can cover their gemstones with parts of their form and long as it's layered over the skin.

Yeah, but i hvr a question is she still alive?
Drea Jhonny she is steven
Gabor YT i cant believe a diamond made steven bro thats strange now, i think pink is still alive.
Yep
Something I forgot to state in this video - in Know Your Fusion, Pearl was the lowest on the "You Like This Little Man?" Power scale but the only one on there who wasn't a fusion. This means Pearl is the strongest non fusion gem on the team.
nice
also this is a great theory! I totally agree because despite what garnet said I still found it hard to believe that Rose directly was the one who shattered Pink Fiamond

'Rose played a part in it, but took the fall.'
'Not too far off!'

but the rubies did remember she had healing powers
But the ruby said she doesnt remember her shield
+RedScar they didn't see that directly, eyeball ruby just said they heard rumors about that they didn't see it
I believe Rose shattering Pink Diamond happened early in the rebellion phase. The experience was so traumatizing that Rose made the conscious decision to never shatter another gem ever again. That's why she was against using Bizmuth's Breaking Point despite having shattered Pink Diamond before.
That actually makes the most sense. Rose saw what happened when she shattered pink diamond and most likely decided that they would never shatter another gem (that would explain the bubbling as well)
It's actually likely that Pink Diamond's shattering was the Rebellion's first move. If Pearl really was responsible, it likely would've had to be in the context of an assassination: as PD's Pearl, she would've had enough trust to get in close and take her out with the element of surprise.
Then there's the fact that Blue Diamond was leading the fight against the Rebellion. Why would the presence of another Diamond be necessary unless Earth's Diamond - Pink Diamond - had been killed?
+Toozday's Child and since she was pd's pearl she might've, when she was poofed(she could've poofed herself) she became a whiter version!
if you don't mind me asking how did rose even shatter pink diamond we all know she didn't use breaking point and her sword bismuth said it never shatter the gem
+redfox 23157 She isn't pink diamonds pearl otherwise her gem would be on her stomach and before you reply "no! because rose isn't pink diamond!" I didn't say she was because in back to the moon pink diamonds gem is clearly on her stomach (ya really stupid if ya didn't know dat. no offence.)
"It would be pretty messed up if Garnet didn't know the truth"
OOF
Wait just realized that when garnet said for peal to be free that means PEARL WAS PINK DIAMONDS PEARL OH MY LORD XD XD XD

okay who else came back here after watching the recent episodes of The wanted promo Steven Universe
Here here! Honestly, this theory seems a lot more plausible to me since zircon's speculations.
I came here after Gemcation and Wanted
edit: Now I'm coming back after the new promo for the episodes coming May 5.
Nate Lee me
I'm sure someone has pointed this out, but Eyeball points out Rose's sword, not shield. If Pearl shapeshifted to shatter PD, that would make sense
bro you were right pear shapeshifted into rose :0
All of this is speculation and complete denial. Accept the fact that Rose shattered Pink Diamond.
There is no core evidence that hasn't been debunked yet that she belonged to a Diamond.
Speculation, yes. But speculation with interesting, and most certainly valid, evidence.
No
+Cereza But there's no evidence that Rose shattered pink diamond except Garnets word. Garnet most likely came to Earth after Pink Diamond got shattered So Rose could have just lied to her face. Rose did keep a lot of secrets from the gems.
iPandaMyuu Actually, there's very little likelihood that Garnet came before PD's shattering. However, Garnet has never explicitly stated that "Rose shattered Pink Diamond". Like it was mentioned in the video, she used pronouns. Plus, there's still the possibility that she didn't know that it was Pearl. The possibility that Garnet wasn't there is very likely.
"Everything I did... I did for her" so Pearl disobeyed rose and shatter pink diamond. Eyeball said it. Garnet said it. Pearls reaction clearly shows rose did it. STOP MAKING THESE GODAWFUL THEORIES
And before someone says, "the rubies are dumb, if Pearl shapeshifted into rose.. I don't have any evidence to back that up except the first thing I said
How 'bout you don't watch them, then?
This isn't a godawful theory. It's interesting to think about.
Sure not the best one tho.
Wanna see a godawful theory? Look up "Rose is pink diamond"
Jasmine B. how 'bout you actually come up with a good roast if your gonna do that before you backlash, then?
LambdaMatty it's godawful.
Who came here after watching the new promo for may 7th
THIS GUY IS A SAPPHIRE IN DISGUISE, HE PREDICTED THE FUTURE!
This is super late.
Am I the only one who calmly accepts that Rose took a life? ._.
nope
I'm willing to believe anything honestly, wouldn't be the first twist
***** I understand where all the commotion is coming from, because Rose is honestly the last person you'd picture killing someone, but we've seen how diamonds are. You can't talk to them! Besides, Rose wouldn't be Rose if she didn't have some kind of dark secret behind her,
It's both not a big deal and also a big deal. Taking a life is indeed big deal...but you can take a life and still be a good person: say you kill a terrorist before they do something horrible (call to mind "let's roll"), or if you defend your family from a home invasion, or a soldier defending your country...etc. All are ultimately heroic acts. It's still terrible and traumatic, but you did the right thing.
+kodili101 well peridot talked to the yellow diamond in an episode
Omg theory comfirmed
The lovely Pet Corner nope
It's possible that she shattered Pink Diamond to start the rebellion, but regretted it so much that she never wanted to do it again.
Agreed
But Jasper would have known about Pink Diamond's shattering, and she fought during the rebellion. I doubt she would show as much fealty to the Diamond she belonged to as she did in "Earthlings" if that Diamond shattered before she came out. And she was made after the rebellion started because the Eyeball Ruby relates anecdotes that Jasper "was born with her helmet on and took out 80 Crystal Gems before the sun went down". She would have had to have known Pink Diamond for some time at least to develop such a strong loyalty. Therefore Pink Diamond would have had to have been shattered during or nearing the end of the Gem War.
She fought during the rebellion. Pink Diamond's death lead to the rebellion. It's entirely possible that Jasper was made RIGHT before the rebellion. It's also entirely possible to see a shattered pink diamond and think it was Rose who did it. Really, at this point, no one can say for sure who exactly did it because it was just mentioned.
rose did say that gems are just born (made)knowing what they have to do and based on some dialogue before jasper got corrupted and when peridot was showing amethyst and steven different holes of jaspers and whe came to our jasper it seems she was specifically made to fight and shatter rose which would explain her fixation on rose. So it is possible she was made after pink diamond was shattered.
Please hear me out guys, I truly believe that Pink Diamond is very Kind. Remember before Blue abducted Greg? He asked her if She and Pink were close, and Blue's answer was "VERY". try to imagine a gentle, soft toned, demure, smiling Blue Diamond talking casually with a free spirited, laughing Pink Diamond, wouldn't they look natural? That is why I believe she is not brutal. And I also believe that Rose did not shatter Pink Diamond. Rubies, Sapphires, Pearls or any other gems did not shatter her. Guys according to science a Diamond is the hardest mineral on earth and only a Diamond can lay a scratch to another Diamond, and I believe that law is also applied in Steven Universe, which means Its either Yellow or White Diamond who shattered her. Maybe she was not in favor of the cluster to be planted on Earth which led to their fight and the tragic shattering of Pink, wether on purpose or accidentally. This is my theory..
Ariana Enriquez We haven't met White Diamond yet and don't know her stance on Pink Diamond's death yet so I find that possible, putting off the blame on a Quarts gem would be easy to do and a ruby like Eyeball has proven to be easily fooled, and a diamonds influence would make the lie all the more believable to her. Yellow Diamond seemed to at least miss Pink, and mourn for her in her own way. So White Diamond being the culprit makes the most sense to me
Sommer Looney I know right? and according to Science no other gemstone can lay a scratch on a Diamond but Diamond itself only..
Sommer Looney they just framed Rose Quartz because if two of the Diamonds (wether Yellow and Blue or White and Blue) would know that one of their sisters was killed then there might be a 1 vs 2 Diamond battle.
Ariana Enriquez It's quite possible that White Diamond's personality clashed with Pink's and she actually prevented Pink from having colonies in the first place because she may have felt she was incompetent or the most unworthy of the Diamonds, which could explain why she only had one colony. The reason behind the shattering could've corresponded with her believing Pink Diamond had made a mistake with her colony, or maybe the rebellion had proved her incompetence to her. She took a chance and no one would question it when it was said that the leader of the rebellion, who was once a member of the Pink court, shattered the Diamond that threatened the world she fought for.
Sommer Looney seriously non pf the qurtz can do that iys just a diamond i think its yellow uglumond
He called it
The gems like literally told Steven that Rose did it and they wouldn't lie to him about something that would effect him so much right
How do you know they'd lie? They maybe protecting him, they may think he would think differently of Pearl.
It's common sense . It's just abit foolish to try and lie to Steven so thoroughly after hearing a gem say they saw rose shatter pink diamond. And most likely other gems saw this too . Think about it . Lying to Steven is no better than when pearl lied to Garnet . Then to tell him later would just be even more foolish as there's no point .
again. garnet wasnt there. also, just look at pearls reaction when eyeball mentioned it. it wasnt so much her being upset that it was brought back up, her face looked REALLY guilty. Also she was shaking and sweating when it happened.
+Team Cardfighters United Ok how do you know that ruby and or sapphire wasn't there
+Team Cardfighters United Yes, she looked guilty and started sweating, more than likely because she was at the forefront of singing praises for Rose. Steven thought his mother was a kind-hearted figure who loved all gems, but isn't one of the themes of the show that you can make mistakes?
Peridot made mistakes, but saw the error in her ways and repented, just like Lapis. Jasper was certain to the very end that she was in the right, that she would not be manipulated, so she did not see her errors as errors.
In a war situation, you need to make decisions that are not nice or friendly, because that seems like the only way at the time. It would be infinitely more interesting if Rose took a life, understood that what she did was wrong and stopped doing that altogether. Change is a theme in the show, so it fits.
Yellow: military
Blue: technology
White: government
Pink: colonization
It could be even harder to find new planets because pink specialized in finding new planets.
They did plenty of colonization before Pink Diamond even existed though. All of the other Diamonds have several planets, whereas Pink only has the Earth.
Wait what? When does it say Pink's only planet is Earth? Eyeball said it was her colony, not that it was her ONLY colony.
Chill guys, this is just speculation based off the little that we see of and about the diamonds. And for clarification, I meant pink diamond was in charge of finding the planets, not neccessarily converting them to gem colonies. I just couldn't think of the right word
+sladikk "It was her first colony" -Eyeball
robert hebert
Well she still coulda made more
"WHY WON'T YOU LET ME JUST DO THIS FOR YOU ROSE?!" It all comes together now...
Lion shattered Pink Diamond.
calling it now.
No Onion shattered Pink D :)
+Crimsonlee2XX what if connie did :P
+Astral Zero why would Connie shatter PD she didn't even know about gems until Steven told her and the war ended 5000 years ago in the show
Nate Mineplayer thats what makes it obvious that it was GREG.
+ZomifiedHam what why is it Greg now and again war ended 5000 years ago
This is really, _really_ long, so I do have a TL:DR at the bottom. That being said, here goes:
*Pink Diamond's shattering had to have happened way later in the timeline. It couldn't have been the start of the war.* If Pink Diamond's shattering was what started the war, then we know exactly where Jasper was: nowhere, because she hadn't even been planted in the ground at that point. Peridot said that the Beta Kindergarten was created in response to the loss of gems due to the rebellion, so Jasper only came out of the ground long after the rebellion had started, and probably near the end of the war, based on our limited knowledge of how long gems incubate. (Amethyst was 500 years late, according to Peridot, and she came out after the end of the war (or else she would have been corrupted), so the Prime Kindergarten gems must have come out when the 1,000 year war was at least halfway over, and the Beta Kindergarten gems would have been much later than that, considering that the Prime Kindergarten has been implied to have been planted before the rebellion started. (Remember what Greg said to Steven about why Rose had betrayed her kind in The Return? Rose started the rebellion in response to the planting of the Prime Kindergarten.)) Since we were told that the Beta was established in response to the rebellion, and that Jasper was made for Pink Diamond (regardless of whether PD had been shattered before Jasper came out, Jasper was created to serve PD), it seems apparent to me that Pink Diamond's shattering was NOT the beginning of the war. After all, Jasper (and the other Beta gems) would have been designed with living Diamonds in mind, such as Yellow, rather than an already-dead Diamond.
*All that having been said, here's my theory.* I'm inclined to believe that Rose really did shatter Pink Diamond, as the show said, but, even if Pearl did it, that doesn't really matter. _Pink Diamond's shattering was the rebellion's final blow._ Up to that point, the rebellion had been annoying and had cost the Authority some good gems, but it had been little more than that. The Authority was confident that, eventually, they would overrun the rebellion and reclaim earth, since the rebellion couldn't really harm the highest levels of the Authority and certainly could not defeat the vast amounts of gems at the Diamonds' disposal. Rose, seeing that the only way to get the Diamonds to leave the earth alone would be to hit them where it counts, decided to shatter Pink Diamond. (Whether Pearl carried out the dirty work is irrelevant, though I think Rose would have enough honor to do it herself rather than command her friend to do it for her.) The Authority, staggering under the blow of Pink's death and realizing that all gems now knew that a Diamond could, in fact, be killed, decided to cut all losses and leave earth with all the dignity of a five-year-old, detonating the corruption meant to infect all gems on earth without even bothering to get all of their own gems off and leaving the Cluster to eventually destroy the earth entirely with the "If I can't have it, no one can," mentality. This theory aligns with what Garnet was saying at the end of Bubbled about how Rose did what was best for earth, not for her. Rose had literally tried everything before she resorted to the very last option: murder. This also aligns with what we've seen of Rose's character. Rose valued all life, even the lives of the Diamonds, and was completely unwilling to shatter anyone, but, finally, she realized that too many gems were dying on both sides, and that it was best to do whatever was necessary to end the conflict, so she took one life to save the lives of gems on both sides of the war, not to mention the humans and other creatures on earth.
*Of course*, this is just my theory, but it's what makes the most sense with all of the evidence. If there's something I missed, either in support or to the contrary, please let me know, and if you believe in the theory that Pink's death started the war and have a counter-argument to mine, I'd love to have a friendly discussion with you in the replies. No one can know for sure, and I know that I am a fallible being. That being said, I'd really love to see what you all have to say in response to this.
*_TL:DR_* Due to what we know about the planting of the Kindergartens and when Amethyst and Jasper came out, combined with the fact that Jasper was made for Pink Diamond, it seems apparent that Pink Diamond's death happened long after the beginning of the war. My counter-theory is that her death was what caused Homeworld to finally retreat. Rose only shattered Pink Diamond as a very last resort, which is consistent with her character without having to try to pin her actions on Pearl.
this is something we need to be listening to lol
yeah but what if Jasper was one of the Jasper soldiers that fought for her shattered pink diamond and that would be why she had something against rose when she first met steven at the end of season2 or 3.
+Firewolf W that makes no sense. Is this the right comment section that you're in?
+rdstonr yes
Lol, you should make a video
destroying funland a family tradition
lol true
kml true.
saw that on devientart
XD
WHERE LIAM WHERE??
This doesn't relate to the video, but I found something out. In the episode, Rose's Room, Steven's gem opens up, well, Rose's Room. Notice how in the end of the episode when Steven falls out in the abyss of the fake beach city, the tiny floating whale says: "What do you want, Steven?" And how when the pink whale speaks, it's voiced by Rose's voice actor. What if Rose's room is the only place where steven can "communicate" with Steven? If you could add more evidence, could you possibly make this a Crystal Clear episode? Thanks!
Please like if you agree!!
I like cheese potatoes
Lol where steven can "communicate" with steven? XD
I think she was shuddering because she didn't want steven to know, she'd kept those secrets from him for years, and she's scared to explain why rose shattered diamond
It's a "I never wanted him to find out about this" situaiton
+David Cain Yeah not a "Oh fuck my cover" situation
+1
Just like every single time she reveals something important that could affect him in a deep level,like in "the ocean gem" where she reveals steven that theyve been fighting gems all along cuz they were corrupted and they didnt know how to help them so they bubble them,or how they hesitated to let steven know gems originally invaded earth to gather its resources and destroy it with the cluster project as we got to know in some episodes of season 1 and the cluster arc in season 2.
They are always trying to protect steven,imagine if they told all of that to him since the beggining,poor steven wouldve had a mental break down,theres a time and place for everything
Thats what we are supposed to get out of episodes like this,a message,we are supposed to look beyond the obvious,thats why this series is so good,it looks childish and straight forward in the surface but it reaches you in a deep level.
I cant believe how many times i get serious neon genesis evangelion levels of deep emotional and existential stuff out of steven universe.

Clap and a half to you good sir. well said

+Randox Talore true, and people keep trying to deny it but
she trained for like over a thousand years
um beat a 3 gem fusion???
So we know more about rose then Pearl?
+Dusk Moon64 yeah we know almost nothing about Pearl's past other than the fact that she's one of the first Crystal gems
+Dusk Moon64 Yup. Both Pearl and Rose have mysterious orgins. But when it comes down to it we simply know nothing about Pearl. At least we know how Rose thinks because of her time with Greg.
The more important question is HOW did Rose shatter PD? Rose's sword can't shatter gems, and the Breaking Point didn't exist yet.
Rose could have picked up a weapon lying around, and used it to shatter Pink Diamond.
Or rose proofed PD firs
I'm pretty sure roses sword can shatter gems. Just because it was never seen doesn't mean it didn't happen
+Gummy TM Except Bismuth said she made the weapon to were it can't shatter gems just poof them
There are other ways to shatter diamonds.
One thing about Garnet, she protects Steven from things she doesn't think he should know. So it still is a possibility that Garnet knows, and she would be protecting Steven from finding out that PEARL, one of the most prominent mother figures of his life, was actually the one who did it, he could be scared forever
Like this theory is pretty trash, Garnet and Eyeball have both stated that it was Rose herself who was the one who shattered Pink Diamond.
and in case TR reply, I've watch the video and like nothing is properly is explained. You're doing what everyone did with various theories and taking shots in the dark with only half evidence to back it up. There's no reason that actually makes sense that it would have been pearl who did the deed.
Rose was supposedly seen by Eyeball and the entirety of gem culture seems to have decided that it was definitely Rose that did the dirty, Garnet may be playing the pronoun game, but not directly, only when you take that sentence and absolutely nothing else from the clip could it be left open. They were talking (quite precisely) about did ROSE really do it, did ROSE really shatter her.
There's a reason Pearl may not like shapeshifting and it could very well be the fact that for pearl, everything has to be perfect and therefore shapeshifting would take away from that, it could be the same reason as Pdot that she simply just doesn't like it or it could just be that she's never had a reason to. Her being shaken up about PD being shattered also makes perfect sense, much like the reason Garnet was upset but again Pearl ALWAYS goes for a more dramatic route. Her shock is for the obvious reason, she adores Rose more than anything and she loves Roses son almost as much, and then right in front of Rose's son her name is defiled from what Steven knows, imagine how that would have felt to Pearl? Knowing that her secret to save Rose's name for Steven just got let out just like that.
The ONLY hope that this theory could EVER work on is the idea that the ONLY witness was Eyeball AND his vision was blurred and as a result she could only a silhouette and assumed it was Rose.
The evidence isn't in your favor in the slightest, just a bunch of moments that have been unexplained, had a explanation forced on them mixed in with some half-truthes.
+T_B_G thank you so much lol
+Luke Killerman we don't know that. honestly I think he's wrong. it was obviously extremely early in the war. Lapis Lazuli was there, so it was before the battle at Strawberry Battlefield. Plus, it seems the only Crystal Gems are Rose and Pearl. it makes sense that Garnet would be the first to join other than R and P. I don't think Rose just SUDDENLY had an army, it would've happened slowly. so, The Answer probably took place BEFORE Pink Diamond got shattered. On a side note, my theory is the last thing to happen was Pink Diamond being shattered. it makes sense that the Diamonds would call their troops back after that. So, that's what I think
+Luke Killerman then why are LITERALLY 95% OF THE GEM STRUCTURES ON EARTH BLUE? I think Pink was there to do the Kindergartens. I mean, there are red crystals everywhere. I think Blue was the one doing structures. I mean, no structures are pink. just blue. or even if that isn't right, The Diamonds could've sent Blue because there were some rebels. AND EVEN IF THAT DOESNT WORK, who says it wasn't Sapphire or Ruby? it SEEMS like rubies used to be Pink Diamond's, so Ruby could have seen it. im just saying, his theory is mainly an excuse to keep rose perfect, but the show is trying to say she has a darker side, which is a great thing! this theory is ridiculous. and whose to say Eyeball was the only one there. but that's just my theory
"The Earth was Pink Diamond's colony"
Pretty sure that means Pink Diamond oversaw the happenings on Earth.
This theory would be relevant IF the episode hadn't clearly stated that Rose was the one to shatter Pink Diamond
What he's saying is everyone thinks that Rose did it. That Rose and Pearl lied to everyone. Pearl was the only one who didn't openly admit it. She dodged the question a bit.
+Grimde Eyeball stated that she saw it happen herself so this theory doesn't really make sense.
+Ricard Sistach did you watch the video? he explains that -_-
***** Mmm-
Allow me to disagree-
+Ricard Sistach not only that, if Eyeball can easily be fooled by Amethyst transforming into Jasper, then it wouldn't be different for her to be fooled by Pearl transformed as Rose.

"She had to, for pearl to be free, for Amethyst to be herself, for me to be together, for you to exist."
Are you kidding me.
I'm cringing at this theory tbh. All of his other theories are good, but like c'mon vox, wtf m8
+Tribal Shard Productions Same
yeah. jasper even knows rose did it
I honestly don't know what Awestruck Vox was thinking when he made this
It's not like pearl changed her color when she shape shifted because when a gem shape shifts they stay the same color
EYEBALL LITERALLY SAID, SHE WATCHED ROSE SHATTERED PINK DIAMOND
Have you tried ✨watching the video✨
+The Roundtable the emojiss make that 110% savager
lol
Did you watch the video?
watch the video all the way through before commenting next time.
Maybe,the diamonds gems can't be bubbled? maybe diamond gems will reform in whatever situation? maybe that's why rose shattered pink diamond?
idk
+The Roundtable
that's a good theory
agreed
Maybe it's maybelline
The new episode Gemcation makes this statement even more possibly valid
eh, no. I think rose did shatter pink diamond. she knows exactly what to keep secret from everyone she was trying to protect. rose knows a lot more than what she led on, but disguised all of that with Dr normal appealing sweet self
subtext dude
"this weapon was made for a fair fight" remember?
+Death Lord yes that is true, but who's to say that once pink diamonds physical form was destroyed, rose smashed the gem to smithereens. You saw how strong she was in "greg the babysitter"
+Malachite Madness maybe rose stepped on pink diamonds gem hard and it shattered or maybe diamonds can be poofed and rose put her in a bubble I don't know just a guess
no she hit it at a certain angle splitting the gem.
The Pearl shapeshifting as Rose makes a lot more sense now that I was reminded that Amethyst actually fooled the Rubies into thinking she was actually Jasper, even Eyeball. (for the ones reading the Pear comments and being confused, I originally forgot the l in Pearl.)
It doesn't actually. Rubies are easy to fool and are gullible. One eyed ruby was one (not the only one) who saw rose shatter Pink Diamond.
PEAR OMG LMAO
but I agree
I know pear is so complex and juicy
OMG! A Shapeshifting Pear!
Why would Pearl let Rose take the blame for something so dire. She especially wouldn't let Steven think Rose shattered someone when she didn't. It is not who Pearl is, and this theory ignores her character. She loves Rose more than anything, and would do about anything to make her look like a hero. Pearl wouldn't let Rose take the blame, because she wants people to see Rose as the hero Pearl sees her as. Shattering a Diamond wasn't heroic in Steven's mind.
Despite the errors making me look like I'm ten, I stand by this.
+Pappyru McMuffin probably because rose has that op sword and shield
Pearl loves Rose so much that Pearl would be shattered for her. I believe Rose can beg Pearl enough to have Rose take the blame. And if Rose told her to keep it a secret, Pearl would rather be bubbled for centuries then to tell another gem.
+iPandaMyuu She would not! Like you said, she'd die for her, no matter what Rose said. She poofed many times no matter Rose's begging. She would not, WOULD NOT, let Rose look bad for her.
+Elijah Robertson That has little to do with this.
So my thought when I saw the title of this video was actually that Pearl shattered Pink Diamond in order to defend Rose from an attack in the heat of battle or something. Imagine that there's a fight, a battle at the highest level of Gem Government. Rose and Pearl are fighting side by side, and Pink Diamond sees an opportunity to strike. Pearl spots the attempt at the attack just soon enough to lift or throw her spear up at Diamond's gem, shattering it, and possibly even getting pooffed by P. Diamond in the process. This leaves Rose Quartz as the lone remaining figure over the shards of a Diamond, leading Eyeball to believe that Rose had committed the act. Eyeball's eye witness account must be examined with the assumption that it is incomplete and biased, as most eye witness accounts are. That's what I think could have happened anyways.
That makes sense
Lol wrong
I think pearl came from white Diamond since their gems are in the same face and they're the same color
some people might know that already
Look at pearl's space suit
I think pearl was every diamonds pearl..check out my video on it
What about jasper
+sofia Rodas jasper was made in the beta kindergarten and pink diamond owned earth and moon. Pink diamond was shattered so jasper resigned to yellow diamond
+Jeffery Woods but there it says on back to the moon that Jasper was originally pink diamond's soldier.
Eyeball: Rose shattered Pink Diamond. I saw everything, I was literally there
The Roundtable: ...
TR: ...so you're saying Pearl did it?
You dipstick, Pearl could have shape-shifted plus Rubies are easily tricked.
+Mason Watkins but later she mentioned her gem color showing she saw rose because if pearl shapshifed she'd be white not pink
Eyeball knew Jaspers gem color but still got tricked. She could have easily been tricked by Pearl.
+Mason Watkins and eyeball only saw the sword not the shield
+Mason Watkins I'm pretty sure the rubies can distinguish colors like when they asked amethyst about her color she said it was because of the sun rays and they believed it was jasper who had a tan plus in the episode bubble eyeball said to Steven that she knows rose quarts was a specific pink so pearl being the one to shattered pink diamond is wrong plus why would she let rose take the blame by shape-shifting into her I thought she loved her
I like this Theory but I don't think Rose would let Pearl do that I think Pearl did do it but she did it secretly and rose took credit to protect her
Agreed
Dude, they were tricked by amethyst because she turned into jasper, even with amy's gem being visable. So this does make sense. They even had completely different colour pallets and they were tricked.
+Sir Dong Dinglesworth III Eyball have red light and pearl had a pink dye
garnet saw it with her 3 eyes, and even confirmed it.
well, we need a flash back to see the full event. Until we get that, we are still in the dark but it is fair to say that the rubies were easily tricked so this could still be a possibility.
This makes much more sense after watching Gemcation
edit: and the most recent promo
pearl is literally the worst liar, she could never keep THAT big of a secret. plus she wouldn't think she's "weak" if she LITERALLY SHATTER A DIAMOND!
ikr
+Clorox Bleach dad?
XD (Well Played)
Exactly
Pearl's strong...
IN THE REAL WAY
Strength in fighting from non-fusions
1. Rose Quartz (She defeated a fusion of 3 with closed eyes literally)
2. Lapis Lazuli w/ Water
3. Jasper
4. Bismuth (Probably not that strong without her weapons, but definitely stronger than Pearl)
5. Pearl
6. Steven Universe (Got much stronger by start of Season 4)
7. Amethyst (Short Quartz)
8. Lapis Lazuli w/o Water
9. Peridot (Without tech but with metal powers)
10. Ruby (Built for fighting, but only in numbers)
11. Sapphire (High ranking, built for future sight not for fighting, but can easily escape due to fast speed)
Pearl is 5th out of 11 current non fusion, non diamond gems. Jasper and Lapis, who are probably weaker than the Diamonds, can beat Pearl almost effortlessly. And Rose probably shattered PD, but was haunted by it so she decided never to shatter another gem again. Also, Garnet herself said that Rose shattered PD, and Garnet has future vision. Eyeball said that she saw it herself. Pearl is not strong enough to shatter a Diamond.
I'm sure they meant before she was corrupted.
OML WHAT IF PINK DIAMOND IS LION!
Man your theory and my are same what if pink diamond isn't dead if she is captured And by the end of war she got corapted and the accident in which pink diamond was shattered is fake because purl shape shifted in her to make a mess that the diamond is dead .
#themostbrilisntplanever
I agree with you sexydavevszombies x3
But amethyst beat pearl.
why is everyone trying to keep Rose so innocent? Everyone, even gems, has their dark side/secrets!
Trial. Blue says it was a sword. But roses sword CANT shatter a gem. Its confirmed by Bismuth.
Am i the only one who thinks the Pink Diamond actually shattered herself? Is it just me? ok 😶
Nkiruka J that would be interesting. I think it was white diamond. what is your evidence?
Dunnygirl21 Rose was completely against shattering any gems, and if Pink Diamond is as loving of the Earth as Rose Quartz was, she wouldn't have wanted to see it hollowed out and colonized either, so she came up with the plan of her shattering with Rose to stop the Diamonds attack on Earth (it's a theory, don't judge me)
Nkiruka J I don't judge you. I don't think it was rose either. I think it was white diamond...because I think pink diamond wanted to save the earth and its creatures. I think pink diamond told white diamond that she didn't want to destroy the planet and gave the rose quartz the power to heal and love earth. I think white diamond didn't like that and ordered pearl, our pearl with a white pearl in the center of her heard like her diamond, to destroy her or at least she did it herself.
"AW DUNK"
Gem suicide...
Why wouldn’t CN consider that?
Oh wait...
I'm still gunning for lion to be either pink diamond or pink diamonds pearl
lol that would be cool
BUT MAYBE LION IS ROSE OR PINK DIMOND,BUT IF SHE WAS,SHE WOULD DESTROY THEM
kkMshndnnhfsm😑☺😑😋😑😎😑😋😃:-!:'(^_^:'(:-*:-(:-dndjfmnfnjfn,श'??!😭😭🍕🍟☕☕🔪🍴🍴😖😷😷😖😷😷.
😜💄💎💍🎒👒🍟☕🔪💄💪👯
I think lion is like the inside of Stevens gem where he holds everything since steven is half human or something. I can't explain it
in his buddy's book review he said that maybe lion ate on of pink diamonds shards and became the lion we already love
While i like this theory, i think i would prefer if Rose was actually the one to shatter her. Like you said, everyone has this perfect image of Rose, she could do no wrong. But i think it would make her character more interesting if she did shatter pink diamond, then she wouldn't be the perfect Rose everyone /thinks/ they know and love, if Rose ends up being a morally grey character instead to show that no one is purely good or bad, that in this war gems had to do some things they wouldn't normally do. Great theory though :)
Also i would just like to add, if Steven can push Eyeball out of his bubble to save himself and let Eyeball go floating off into space, then Rose can shatter someone to save everyone else.
I'm glad you take that perspective on this. There are so many people outright rejecting the theory in a rude way, so it's refreshing to see you politely disagreeing, explaining why, and then still acknowledging that Vox made a good theory. I guess I just wanted to say thank you for that.
GamesWithGrace No problem :) i like discussing theories
+rosie x I completey agree with you!!! thats what I always wanted to say to the others
"rose shattered pink diamond"
"so what you're telling me is pearl shattered pink diamond?"
BRUH. So with the new episodes, the judge lady was basically all "How could a rose quarts get close enough to a diamond without anyone noticing it and her pearl bein all AHHHH"??? So if pearl was Pink diamonds pearl, then she coulda been close enough, and shape shifted into Rose, then shattered her. It just makes sense?
vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/stevenuniversetheoryzone/images/a/aa/White_Diamond_Moon_Base_Picture.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160107093936 possible foreshadowing
No. Everyone keeps coming up with random theories to excuse Rose's actions, but it needs to stop. Rose. Shattered. Pink. Diamond. Ruby saw it, Garnet knows it was her, and we had two episodes about Steven dealing with the fact that she did it. Well, to those of you saying Rose is Pink Diamond, or that Pearl shattered her, I have one thing to say: it was war. People have do horrible things during war. She may have been her best friend, or greatest creation, but no matter what someone says, she killed her. Nobody else had the power, skill, and army to do so, and Rose, before Back to the Moon, was always a complete Mary Sue, so she NEEDS a dark side. Stop making excuses!
Yes, I like it better that Rose shattered Pink Diamond because it makes the story more interesting. And she really was a Mary Sue.
Agreed
It's not even too OoC, it acually explains why she was so against the breaking point, and her line to Greg when he's says he knows nothing about her.
thank you don't make up stupid theories because you don't like what this character did
agreed
Whos here after a single pale rose????
one thing he missed is that eye said "who cares about her shield, her huge sword is what I remember." that might mean that she never had a shield in the fight.
okay so a lot of people keep saying "no way" to this theory. yes, we all have our opinions, but at the same time when everyone shouts "it was definitely rose" we won't know FOR SURE until we see future episodes covering this topic. I don't agree with this theory, but that's just my opinion. we all have our own theories, so let's just respect each other's thoughts.
and yes I have watched beta, earthlings, and back to the moon.
+Dakota Adams he goes over that in the video, that maybe she didn't know.
+Bree Rose right but with all the other evidence it's safe to assume more like it's right to state that rose was the only one who could have done it
Look I don't even support the theory
Many people seem to forget that Rose is a Quartz soldier. She wasn't always the caring and maternal Gem she is portrayed as. She lied to her friends about Bismuth. She led the rebellion and fought on head lines. More to Rose's violent personality is unknown, but she has one.
Rose Quartz-Universe: a soldier and a mother
rosie x _I didn't understand your comment; what are you explaining to me?_
Lapis Lazuli ????????????
He's saying rose is a soldier and a mother
_That...seems slightly abstract. Rose gave up her physical form to birth Steven long after she "won" the Gem War. She was not a soldier AND a mother, only after winning did she stay for almost 6 millennia, and meet Greg in the present._
But didn't pear shape shift whenever she would change clothes? (Like in the beach party and space episode)
But roses sword wasn't from her gem it was from bismuth to her
+Asriel the goat does that have anything to do with what I said
Wut
That isn't exactly shape shifting. When a gem gets poofed, they spend time in their gem, and possible reform if they like. That means their physical body or their clothes. In Pearl's case, it was only clothes. She never changed her physical body in the slightest, they was someone does when they shape shift.
well no, none of them went back into their gems in that episode
Well now we know about the fake shattering, and a big white t pose diamond
OMG! You were right! Pearl shattered Pink Diamond!
Peridot SU not XD fake shattered
wOATch OUT my diAMOOONDE
- Blue Zircon , 2017
Pearl wears white, blue, pink, and yellow. All the diamond colors.
Her gem placement is on her head.
Like White Diamond.
maybe she was a special pearl cuz you see she is more capable than wat we know from other pearls
+Johmari Uchiha White all peaels are capable of doing that. its just that they still believe their purpose is to serve the diamonds
The round table's theory is wrong.
I do kind of think that Pearl shattered pink 💎.
TT13 T with what
TT13 T she did and she only proofed rose because rose IS pink diamond
Lol watch "A Single Pale Rose"
(i'm replying after the new episodes 2018.) *C-C-C-C-CANON*
Your ''evidence'' is just a bunch if quotes taken out if context
Tru
+Luke Killerman yes, to Not be taken out of content
+Luke Killerman Why are you always laughing your ass of?
+Thom Kastelein why do you sound like a keemstar supporter when you say that?
u sound kinda mad thom
Pearl didn't do it. Look at how her face becomes fearful and heartbroken when Steven learns ROSE shattered Pink Diamond. It's inexplicable that she was scared for Steven learning this about his mother, whereas if Pearl did it, she wouldn't be as freaked out.
Pearl is always worrying about Steven and trying to protect him, so it would make sense
I'm still convinced Rose still shattered Pink Diamond because a gem have to be a very powerful to fight a Diamond and I think Rose being a high ranking gem a right hand soldier to Pink Diamond. I think you are like Luke Skywalker just found out Darth Vader was his father and like no that impossible. Vader: look in your heart you know it to be TRUE! It was had to swallow but you have to remember Rose was designed to be a Warrior gem even though Rose choose her own path she probably tried to convince Pink Diamond to Join the Rebellion but Pink Diamond refuse and probably fought Rose and Rose won the fight but in the process she shattered Pink Diamond.
Just to let you know I watch the whole video. But love your theory on this topic. Hopefully you're right about this topic.
+Ryan D Shattering Pink was also a way of Rose showing that she meant business.
Mr.Mystery 777 Oh god. XD
I'm pretty sure Rose was a grunt.
+(͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)BecauseICan( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º) I don't think so her and jasper are the same size and it seems that quartz gems were looked at as high ranking soldiers.
I'm thinking this theory from a long time ago. Pearl shapeshift to rose and shattered pink diamond. And thats why pearl doesn't want to shapeshift again.
Pearl wears blue yellow and pink colors and her skin is white so that maybe plays a big role in her connection to the diamonds or maybe it symbolizes unity or maybe even her thoughts on how she can be whatever she wants.
Like this so he can pls see this
Or that's just the color combination the designers gave her to stand out. Search "Pearls" in Google Image and you'll see they come in various shades (white, pink, slightly cyan, kind of gold, etc.) and all of those colors are represented in her outfit.
A gem's clothing doesn't necessarily represent allegiance. Amethyst has white in her outfit, that doesn't mean she was affiliated with White Diamond.
isn't there a white diamond so maybe she's white diamond's pearl cuz she's just a regular pearl which is white
bubblegumbee There's no such thing as a "regular pearl." Pearls naturally come in many different colors, white ones are just more popular in jewelry, so we see them more often.
***** But my point is that the color of their clothing has no significance at all. Their outfits are just made up of the colors of their particular gemstone. Crack open an amethyst geode and you'll see the white part of the stone, which explains her boot color.
PLOT TWIST WHAT IF THE GEMS ARE EVIL ...... YEAH NOT POSSIBLE
lol
Plot twist. what if its just fun speculation? True!
What if rose is a fusion of a quartz gem and pink diamond that same way how smoky quartz came into existence. Here me out before all the hate come. but rose could be a fusion after all. what instead of rose being a quartz gem and pink merging with rose permanently after she
was damaged or wounded. pink diamond could be the reason why there is only one rose quartz and not multiple. Rose is bigger than a gem of one type and if you notice rose kind of knew about fusion when she saw garnet and nobody knows what happens when a gem fuses with another gem that have gems in the same spot like permanent or semi permanent fusion or what every gem rose was before absorbing pink diamond made it so that they became one.all other quarts gems name isn't two worlds like jasper, amethyst, etc. Smoky quarts is a fusion and is two gems. and if you think about it, rose quartz have two words in her name just like smoky quartz and even if she is made up of two gems, well a gem and diamond. no one knows what happened with a permanent fusion or gem and diamond fusion.
Trayvon Herron but there's also Garnet and Opal who have a one name fusion?
+Trayvon Herron rose is not a fusion, one of the rubies stated that rose is just a regular quartz that started a movement
when i started watching steven universe i actually knew from the start that pink was rose
Same-
Steven has asked things about Pink Diamond on Pearl a thousand times and she tried to silenced herself. Also Garnet told Steven "to not make Pearl upset". When Garnet told in Steven and the Off - Colors about Rose's story, she told that Rose shattered Pink D.
So...is Garnet telling lies?
Everything here makes sense to me, it was Pearl all along!!!
...maybe 🐹
This man really just predicted
Or it's the easiest answer and it was Rose.
I think Rose ended up using the Breaking Point. She was the only one who knew about it and she didn't toss it into the lava.
Pearl doesn't like to change shape likely for the same reason she doesn't eat food. Not into it for w/e reason..
I don't think it'd be possible for Rose to use breaking point. The stuff in The Answer was stated to take place 5750 years ago, assuming Blue Diamond was dealing with the rebellion because Pink Diamond was already shattered, and Bismuth and Rose Quartz had their confrontation over breaking point 5300 years ago.
The breaking point didn't exist
Eyeball says what she remembered about Rose was her sword
The breaking point was introduced to rose at the near end of the rebellion
+Timothy Asuncion not near end. like in the middle.
Tbh I think you’re right cause if you honestly think about It when someone ever talks about Rose shattering pink. Pearl is always shaken and scared and tries to hide from the truth. And I honestly really love your theories they’re so good and just makes so much sense.
Not to annoy anyone or something rose shattered pink diamond :P
Don't hate on me :/
That's what I thought, at first I thought I was crazy
+ItBe B thought what
+David The Great rose shattered pink diamond
Every Rose🌹 has a thorn
This is a very supported theory, I believe it and I really hope we can learn more about Rose and the gem war soon because that and fusion is my favourite part of the story line at the moment
Before I say this I just like to say I don't hate the Roundtable. I'm just stating how flawed this theory is. And yes I watched the whole video.
Most of your "points" are just guesses at quotes with no weight to them. And the fact that you actually think the show is going to go in this direction is ignorant. If they were to take direction, it would destroy Bismuth, Earthlings, Back to the moon, & Bubbles point. To show Rose's dark side and show how she isn't a perfect being. Steven excepting what rose done would be thrown completely out the window.
There is no actual evidence to Pearl shattering pink diamond. Pearl can hate shape shifting because she's a perfectionist. Shape shifting would ruin that. And garnet saying "she" was clearly talking about rose because Steven asks why rose killed pink diamond. What rose did caused this show exist. "For Pearl to be free. For amethyst to be herself. For me to be me. For you to exist." Not the exact lines but you get what I'm saying.
This theory literally stops the development of rose. Not to mention there really is not evidence other than guesses. You can't say Ruby was the only gem who saw it. The diamonds knew about it, Jasper knew about it, all of Homeworld knew about it and they knew who done it. Rose Quartz did it
+The Crocodile I agree about how it would ruin Rose's dark side. Steven needs to learn that being a leader means doing things against your personal beliefs sometimes. He can't rightly mature unless what his mom did is actually legit.
dude this is just a theory, theorists don't need much back up as they are just that, a theory, whether true or false it's always interesting
like my small theory that rose quartz could still be pink diamond by...
well that's another story for another time, but if you do want to hear it tell me
+Makayla Cornett there is no way rose is pink diamond anymore. Even AJ universe a guy who supported the theory early in the show now think that can no longer be a possibility.
+Makayla Cornett a theory is a thought that are made with facts, that what theories are and this both disregards pearls character and roses character.
It's fun watching these theory videos in retrospect.
EE Ehrenberg very.
All these awesome theories. I hope we don't get underwhelmed and start to hate steven universe.
plus maybe that's why eyeball only remembers rose's sword and not her shield. because it was pearl not rose who killed pink diamond.
So your saying Pearl shape-shifted into Rose and shattered Pink Diamond as Rose.... So your saying the Homeworld Gems didn't realise Rose was suddenly white and had a Pearl on her forehead... Hmm okay then
Rubys are dumb, they fell for Amethyst as Jasper, and we have no other sure-fire home-world eye-witnesses. Plus Rose and Pearl's colours aren't radically different and Roses forelocks could have covered Pearl's gem.
Isn't Rose's forehead covered up by her hair? 👀
+SaryTheWolf I refer you back to the Answer, and it's clearly obvious that Pearl and Rose have very different colour palettes, yes Pearls Gemstone would probably be obscured but I'm pretty sure there would have been more Gems than just a random Ruby with Pink Diamond at the time, again looking at The Answer Blue Diamond had a large assortment of Gems with her, and various Quartz Gems. If Jasper was the "Perfect Quartz" as Peridot put it, I'm pretty sure Jasper would have been around Pink Diamond too... And Jasper specifically blames Rose for shattering Pink Diamond. I think Pearls shapeshifting reluctance stems from the fact she doesn't like to alter her form if she doesn't have to, it took her 2 Weeks to reform which is abnormally long by the reactions of Garnet and Amethyst, so I'd argue Pearl doesn't like to mess with her form because she spent so long reforming and knows Shapeshifting can damage your form.
Harrington Little (Shrugs) You're probably right.
Maybe They didn't see the gem on her forehead but about the color , idk but like BD the whole place was pink and Pearl looked exactly like Rose
In light of the events and revelations of "The Trial," the Pearl shattering Pink theory works. If Rose was already a threat, the only conclusions are that either a Diamond or a Pearl could have done it.
Damn after watching the Trial, this theory might be on to something
Does anyone think it's significant that Pearl has all the colors (except pink, of course) of all the diamonds? Yellow, blue, white, and pink...She's got yellow shorts, blue shirt, white coloration....hmmm...
Thanks!
Yeah maybe pearl was some kind of 'ultra pearl' she may have served all the diamonds, and only her socks are a very light pink un like her other colours, maybe it's to remember pink diamond😙
The Diamonds were so poor back then that they couldn't make Pearls, so they all shared one. lol
Wordlife: Snarky. Oh, well, I still think the world of our Pearl.
they shared one ultra pearl because the diamonds weren't always together but needed to keep all the gems in line so to communicate they used the ultra pearl
This. Theory. Is. True.
S H O O K.
That last thing you said, about Pearl being so shook up while Eyeball was talking about being there was GREAT! I would have never looked at that scene the way you did! Awesome.
What I'm most curious about is why Pink Diamond had to be shattered and why they couldn't just bubble her. Sure, bubbling her would mean that Pink Diamond could conceivably return at some point in the future if she was freed by the Homeworld Gems, but was she really that dangerous? What about Blue Diamond - if Rose and Pearl had gotten to her during that attack in The Answer, would they have shattered her as well?
+Phlebas Shattering Pink might have been a statement to Homeworld, as well as trying to get them off the Earth with the idea that there were rouge gems shattering Diamonds. But yeah, now I'm wondering why they couldn't just bubble her...unless Diamonds can't be bubbled.
It's cause Diamonds can't be poofed, the crewniverse said so
NerdCrafts Then how did Rose shatter Pink if she can't poof her? Maybe she found Pink's weak point but you'd think that would be concealed in the body and not accessible.
+martiansascha7 She shattered her directly, while she still had her hard light form. She just needed a direct blow to PD's gemstone (idk how much force she must have needed to shatter a diamond but whatevs) and she was a goner
NerdCrafts True true, but also really risky since Pink would be moving/attacking. I know Rose probably knocked Pink out, but still, what a situation.
My memory is not so clear, but I thought the same thing.
I thought you are dead...
I am.
A ghost diamond
I-Impossible!
Sorry the theory is wrong.
If I was Steven the show will be boring
no shit m8
Why dude?
+Mason Watkins so you're telling me why am I rude to myself?
If I was Steven then I would be shattered by now :')
+izzy pines lol
WE KNOW pearl didn’t wanna talk because Steven told her that pearl shattered pink diamond
Rose shattered pink diamond have you watch the latest episode
did you even watch the video or just look at the title? cause he brings up the latest episode.... so obviously he watched it....
+Bree Rose and therefore rose did shatter pink diamond
+Bree Rose holy shit why are you responding to so many comments. And they all basically say the same thing. What's the deal here?
+Bree Rose god please stop doing the same comment's -_-
dua
I think it's a good theory but I don't want to believe in any theory until we know the trust
*truth
I think that's a good view to have on Steven Universe theories in general. We'll see if there is any more evidence for or against this theory, and then we'll have it confirmed either way.
Side note: This is not a problem at all, but next to TH-cam comments there are three grey dots stacked on top of each other. If you click the dots next to your own comments, you can edit them and fix typos without leaving another comment. (I don't know if you already know this or not, I'm just trying to be helpful)
+GamesWithGrace thanks for trying to help but I don't have that option
wouldn't that defeat the purpose of theories in general?...
It's funny how this is correct
I can't follow that in the episode that will be all yellow states "she was shattered by a rose quartz" leading me to believe that they would have saw the gem stone apron pearls head if she did shape shift
Lazylegion Leader Not if it was covered by Roses bangs. Amethyst always has half her gem covered by a shirt, this shows that gems can cover their gemstones with parts of their form and long as it's layered over the skin.
