I think the observation spheres on the moon could also be White Diamond-based tech. And, I mean, it would play into the whole image they seemed to be trying to give us in Legs from Here to Homeworld that she knows a lot more than others think Observational abilities would fit there perfectly.
i think the thing with rose squishing the dirt into gem shards is just a demonstration of her strength? because it takes heat and pressure to make real life gems. so i dont think the gem injectors were made after rose's power. the red crystal on the top of them might imply that, but at the moment i dont believe they're related to pink diamond. not to mention, its implied that pink diamond is the youngest of the diamonds, so there mightve been gems made from the injectors before pink diamond was born. but i could be wrong about that.
It looked like Pink was breathing onto her hand while she was crushing the dirt. Maybe her breath was supplying the needed heat like Superman does with his eyes when he squeezes coal to make diamonds. And just because Pink may be the youngest diamond it doesn't mean she is young.
Rose's cannons blasts are similar to Blue Daimond's blast. They're both able to be manipulated and have almost a pure destructive purpose. There's also the laser for the green hand Jasper and Peridot arrived in.
i’ve been watching your videos for a while now (and to be honest, i’ve been marathoning them right now) and i just wanted to tell you to keep up the good work! your videos are thought provoking and entertaining! thanks for sharing with us.
If there is a tech that replicates each Diamonds ability then maybe all Steven needs to do is obtain each piece of tech and combine them with his healing powers to cure the corrupted gems.
It's possible the wands are just like - a capacitor. That stores energy for a time. Like Yellow or blue could charge up a wand with their energy signature and distribute them to high ranking officials. This would mean that like a gun or a battery you only have so many shots, and they prefer to therefore use individual attacks than risk blowing all the energy in one shot...
Since Pink is the youngest, and the gem empire was already well established, what if Pink was fashioned after the injectors instead of the other way around?
I think injectors being based on Pink is a bit of a stretch, especially when the subtext that Pink is the youngest diamond is concerned, but otherwise it's a cool comparison. Also sad we didn't get a TT vid this week. I guess Apprentice is putting you through your paces.
What if there's overlap in their powers and they just each have specific things within their shared skillsets that they can each do more skillfully than the others? Take the idea that White might have some sort of all-seeing power from which the moon base's observation sphere is based. Something that can reach out and see what's going on anywhere on a colony, or where White's power is concerned she could potentially be able to see what's going on anywhere in the entire gem empire. Now consider Steven's empathy powers connecting him with Malachite's mind, connecting with Kiki's mind, connecting with the Cluster's hivemind, putting him in control of Lars's body, letting him feel Blue's tears from across the planet when she wasn't actively projecting her aura, putting him in control of a Watermelon Steven's body, letting him enter a dreamscape connecting the minds of Connie, the Crystal Gems, Blue, and Yellow while they battled (a place in which Blue and Yellow also showed that they had some awareness there). There's also an idea out there suggesting that White's Pearl is being controlled remotely by White, like a better controlled version (since she seems like she can do it while still having control over herself) of what Steven accidentally did with Lars and intentionally did with a Watermelon Steven (since his body has to be asleep while he does it).
MuljoStpho It's possible, but then it would simply be a diamond power, not a Pink one. Also since gems are some kind of synthetic life form the idea that they spontaneously formed doesn't make much sense. Whatever created the gems probably did so with a primitive injector.
wouldnt the bubble that transported steven and white pearl be an example of the stasis power coming from White Diamond herself? cause if we were to take what you established: that tech/common gem tools are lesser replications of the diamonds own powers, then wouldnt it be reasonable to assume that the "stasis tools"(like peridot's robo-fingers and the wand) are just lesser abilities of white's own power? we see that the stasis power is bound by a tool and a projection beam thing, yet when white supposedly uses it, she does so without the beam, being used at a range and without clear line of sight, maybe mentally. the biggest argument against this would be the fact that steven and white peridot were transported by a white bubble, rather than individually frozen by a membrane sort of thing that covers the surface of the target
We have seen a weapon based on blue diamonds ability’s, the hand ship had a light sort of cannon and blue diamond can throw light orbs and make orbs that can shoot explosive versions
i cant really see pearl being able to create a ball of light that shoots explosive projectiles, other gems may be able to use a watered down version which would have to be channelled through something like a spear but it would likely be specific to a few gems and would be in no way as strong or be able to use in multiple ways like blue. if its something gems can just do then you would really expect it to be used to just destroy the rebels when rose wasn't there to protect them instead of fighting them one on one it makes more sense for hw to take blue diamond combat ability and decide to make that into a weapon instead because it being just another gem ability that all gems can do then you would expect to see it used in battle, especially in gems like jasper who is constantly fighting
It's still the same thing, though. Destructive energy projected from a Gem's immediate surroundings. Pearl was said to have learned to do it herself, as in it's not something that she was told that she could do. That tells us that any Gem should be able to learn. If she had more practice, who's to say that she couldn't do something similar to what Blue did? Gem powers do take effort and practice to use. Hence why Amethyst is great as shapeshifting, but Peridot and Steven suck at it. All Gems can do it, but all Gems have different skill levels dependent on how much talent or practice that they have. If it's the same power, then it doesn't matter which Gem they specifically based it on. Even ignoring all of that, though, lasers are just kind of a thing in scifi. Why wouldn't Gem ships just have them? Why do they have to be based on anything?
i cant see a purpose for blues power being weaponized or utilized. the only thing i could see is emotional torture, which i doubt thats something the show is going to touch on. poofing and shattering are the extremes of doing nothing and too much to a gem, so i feel like emotional torture is the only middle ground. Partially scratching is also an option, but amethyst couldnt speak straight after her crack so i doubt thats helpful for getting a traitor to talk. i suppose theres also placing them in an object like lapis' mirror, but thats more on the idea of torture than blue diamonds power
Blue's power does have a purpose: it instantly causes enough emotional turmoil to unbalance large fusions. Multi-gem fusions, such as Alexandrite or Fluorite, are incredibly powerful and could likely have enough power to stand against a Diamond. Blue's ability can instantly knock those threats down.
I did think about that, but unless its a projectile weapon, the gem destabilizer not only does that, but poofs gems as well. and aquamarines stasis beam could even hold back alexandrite. so i dont see how it could be better than either of those in any situation. i guess it DOES have a function it could do, but i cant think of anything that would be special about it compared to the destabilizer unless, again, its a laser or emp type thing....but a depression gun sounds a bit odd.
I'm assuming that the difference between them would be akin to the difference between YD and BD's actual attacks. Yellow Diamond can poof any level of fused gem instantly, but can only do one (or maybe two) at a time. Blue Diamond can't poof or even defuse very strongly attached gems, but she can affect essentially everyone in a large area. I would assume that yes, BD's version of the destabilizer would be projectile or range based.
but it immobilizes everyone, regardless of whos side you are on, so how could you utilize that effectively? and the effects only last as long as the person is in that radius, so what could you do from there? yes lapis was immune, but blue was shocked, as if no gem besides the other diamonds have withstood her sadness.
I'm assuming that, in the same way as YD's destabilization attack is weakened from a beam to a melee weapon when it's mass produced, BD's sorrow wave gets weakened from an aoe attack to a beam if it gets reproduced through technology. Also, it doesn't matter if someone can leave the radius of the attack: they cannot get close to the one using it, so a group of bodyguards in a circle around somebody would be able to protect that person perfectly.
Ok hear me out, since Blue Diamond's ability seems to be tied to gem's psyche, what if the technology based off her abilities is the same technology used on White Pearl (assuming it was not WD), to bend her mind into a monotone and obedient servant, lacking of any other programing. Similar to Centipide/Nephrite's mind state before Steven used his own powers on her. Blue's ability of deconstructing minds (like, affecting them) could also translate into actually constructing the base of a mind for gems. Which would take part on their birth.
Now that I think about it - Blue Diamond had her equivalent of destabilizers in Aquamarine's ship. Perhaps those have the same effect as her empathy wave? In that the Gems using them transfer their emotions to other Gems, making them unable to fight?
Valeria Daneva or maybe it's the lasers from Peridot's ship that she came on since we know after Reunited she can make these laser that look like a ball of light
This is an interesting thought to think on truly and base on what we have seen it could be right. We still know so little of WD and so there is much to theorize on about her. Though if her ability is based upon the actual form of a gem the statutes beams we see from Peridote and aquamarine. They could be way weaker forms of it.
The injectors being based off pinks gem creation ability is a fascinating concept, and supports your previous theory that pink is actually the oldest/first diamond. The timeline for these technologies matches up too, pink and the injectors being the oldest followed by the destabilizers which seem to be more standard issue type weapons and the stasis wands, perhaps reserved for gems of certain positions, which could mean they are newer and that there are less of them to go around. It's probably not the best reason we haven't seen very many stasis wands, but it's interesting.
what about the mirror that Lapis was trapped in? It seemed to be specifically meant to stop a gem from reforming while still allowing them consciousness for interrogation purposes. Doesn't that align to some degree with Blue Diamond's abilities?
i really love this idea :o it's possible that's why we never saw white diamond's power thing when Steven and Connie first fight that robot head that seemed to have all the diamond's abilities in Lion 2 The Movie. it would just be too difficult of a power to replicate, plus Rose/Pink knew White would probably never come to earth to actually fight her
Excellent theory! I have a couple things to add. First off, my guess is that the blue destabilizers function differently than the yellow ones, disrupting a gem in much the same way Blue Diamond did to Alexandrite. Secondly, I completely agree about White's power. It would appear to be very strong matter manipulation power, and it would explain how homeworld is even capable of having gravity or an atmosphere AT ALL.
The shattering Robonoids seem like a candidate for White's ability. If White is truly more powerful than Yellow, a Diamond who can poof Gems in an instant, the only step up I can think of from that is shattering powers.
If Homeworld knew of Pink Diamond’s abilities, then how did they not figure out that Pink Diamond was Rose Quartz? It should have been obvious... they even sound the same. Blue and Yellow should’ve at least been suspicious about it and how nothing was adding up.
I’d like to propose that the stasis wands are based on Blue Diamond. When observing her use the power it looked like she was ‘immobilizing them with grief’ and that’s what the stasis does, keeping them from moving. They wouldn’t be able to copy the emotional aspect, so they made it in that way. I know we like to think of the Diamonds as perfect, but Blue was so surprised when Lapis could still move. Personally I think White has some different power waiting for us, something like apathy, or a lack of emotion. In a sense she may be an unfeeling, cold calculation set on one objective, but that’s just an idea.
In terms of the “Pink Diamond can create gemstones (living or not)” power that you stated she had, consider this: the flower she used in that episode looks incredibly similar to the flowers on the moss from “Lars and the Cool Kids.” Perhaps Pink doesn’t have the power to create gemstones, but simply crushed the gemstone that is inside that flower. But your theories are really awesome!!! Just wanted to point out the gemstone thing
White's stasis might be the reason why Blue said she hadn't left Homeworld in eons. Homeworld's been falling apart FOR EONS, and she's had to sit there holding it together. Maybe that's why she projected her might so strongly onto her pearl that she broke her; because her pearl is the only means at which she can contact the outside, like using a video game npc or something.
If the gem injectors are based on Pink's power, that would be a beautiful parallel to her later creating Steven, but it also has implications when it comes to the origins of gem kind. Was Pink Diamond the first gem? Where did she come from? If she is the first, how did she get to the point we see her at in Jungle Moon? At the very least, Pink Diamonds creation inspired and spurred the mass production of gems and advancement of gem kind. This would definitely be a motivation for her to start the war for Earth if she knew she was the reason for the death of planets. She could also inspire the kinder, more ethical creation of gems through Steven. Gems can be made one at a time, instilling value and individuality into each Gem made. Maybe that's part of Pink's intentions for Steven. Oh! What if Pink could make a gem, but not a living one, but Steven could? Maybe Pink/Rose wanted to find a way to change how Home World made gems. It feels plausible given what Peridot said about era 2 gems and Home World's resources and that what made Pink rebel specifically was the affect of Kindergartens on the Earth.
On another note concerning White D holding together homeworld. Just a random thought that came to mind. What if homeworld is WDs emotional "weakness"? What if it really is "home" to her? A symbol of her glory from which it all started. Maybe, just maybe, her reasoning concerning homeworld is sentimental, something she doesn't want to give up or leave behind? I'd like that (i imagined at some point that based on the star theme, she might have been an entity that crushed into original homeworld like a shooting star and emerged from it 💃✨if she's not a star herself or something.. Carbon and chemical fusion and stuff. Who knows)
I don't think the other Diamond's and the rest of Homeworld knew about PD's powers, because if so, SOMEONE (especially one of her fellow Diamond's) would suspect something
What about the blue things in stuck together that topaz almost used against aquamarine. They didn't have the crackly electricity thing like gem destabilizers, but had the same shape. They had a floating oval in the middle. Could they make the target really sad or something?
I think Pearl's replicator wand from Onion Trade may have been based off of white diamond's powers. Which if WD can replicate things, maybe all gems are a form of replication? Or maybe "white" pearl is a replicated form of a cracked pearl doing WD's bidding.
I honestly think the gems don't have anything to simulate White's abilities as one she'd probably be too hard to actually simulate, and two the gems treat her as if she's a goddess and they might see it as heresy or just not want to offend her considering Blue said she has a temper and it could be implied that White is responsible for the destruction of Homeworld. White is treated like a goddess. Pearl said White is above all other gems and remember back in Jungle Moon, the code Yellow put in on the screen had White,Yellow, Blue,Pink and White again, possibly signifying that White is their creator and their destroyer.
If anything has come from Blue and been reproduced as Gem Tech, I could MAYBE see it being the hand-ship canon beams, based off the giant barrage shots of light she tried to destroy the Crystal Gems with in Reunited. Maybe. If I squint really hard. Is that likely? I mean...eh. I guess it would be more applicable as a mass-produced power-into-a-weapon type of tech compared to using her Emotional Aura power. Or at the least it'd be easier to create and reproduce it in general
I agree that the flask robonoids are an extension of pink diamond's power but not the injectors. Pink was the last diamond to be created so what about all previous gems?
There were Blue gem destabilizers, like they were based off of Blue Diamond but... what they'd do, effect emotional state... (idk how to phase it but) them looking like the yellow one's makes it seem like a shakey design to me. That design looks like it's at least supposed to 'hit' something else.... I mean it seemed cool when Topaz somewhat instinctively ambushed Aquamarine with it, but what was it gonna make her do? Cry?? And then she'll run off?... (Not trying to downplay BD's power) If they were actually yellow one's and looked blueish because of the lighting, wouldn't they look a little more green?... If that's how lighting works... *ed:* oh! they could be white too! just a thought. Until those are explained/demonstrated a little more, I dunno what to think about them really.
I don't think the destabilizers are limited due to lack of technological developments, as we've seen some type of version of it be used as a barrier in Peridot's ship. Maybe your theory about limiting them to melee weapons to ensure no gem has more power is actually more accurate.
MetalDC The force fields on the ship are something significantly weaker, though. A single touch from one doesn't spread energy across the Gem's whole body and poof them like a touch from the wand does. That says to me that the force field is what happens when you try to use a destabilizer at range, which brings it back around to a design limitation. One that they just found a use for.
AJ Universe that makes sense, I just thought about that since both the melee weapon and barrier seemed to affect Steven equally, even if one is stronger than the other, though I didn't want to chalk it up to Steven just being human
We still don't actually know that she's the youngest. That's never been said anywhere. And Gems must have been made in a different way before the injectors, or how were there Gems alive to make the injectors in the first place.
Jon Brewer No they can't. Bubbles don't put conscious people, Gem or otherwise, into physical stasis, preventing their movements. Even poofed Gems are only kept in stasis mentally. They're almost entirely different.
We have seen a weapon based on blue diamonds ability’s, the hand ship had a sort of light cannon and blue diamond can throw light orbs and make orbs that can shoot explosive versions
I think the observation spheres on the moon could also be White Diamond-based tech. And, I mean, it would play into the whole image they seemed to be trying to give us in Legs from Here to Homeworld that she knows a lot more than others think Observational abilities would fit there perfectly.
I really like this new style of your theories, where its like a narration as you travel through the universe. Its really cool.
(Also great video)
i think the thing with rose squishing the dirt into gem shards is just a demonstration of her strength? because it takes heat and pressure to make real life gems. so i dont think the gem injectors were made after rose's power. the red crystal on the top of them might imply that, but at the moment i dont believe they're related to pink diamond. not to mention, its implied that pink diamond is the youngest of the diamonds, so there mightve been gems made from the injectors before pink diamond was born. but i could be wrong about that.
Injectors are almost definitely older than PD, I agree.
It looked like Pink was breathing onto her hand while she was crushing the dirt. Maybe her breath was supplying the needed heat like Superman does with his eyes when he squeezes coal to make diamonds. And just because Pink may be the youngest diamond it doesn't mean she is young.
Rose's cannons blasts are similar to Blue Daimond's blast. They're both able to be manipulated and have almost a pure destructive purpose. There's also the laser for the green hand Jasper and Peridot arrived in.
General energy blasts are probably a generic Gem ability or at least Diamond ability. Pearl does it too, but only with her spear.
i’ve been watching your videos for a while now (and to be honest, i’ve been marathoning them right now) and i just wanted to tell you to keep up the good work! your videos are thought provoking and entertaining! thanks for sharing with us.
If there is a tech that replicates each Diamonds ability then maybe all Steven needs to do is obtain each piece of tech and combine them with his healing powers to cure the corrupted gems.
Scary idea what if Blue Diamond could transmit other emotions like rage. Any armies opposing her would turn on each other.
Yes, but Lapis has shown that even her ability is not all-powerful.
It only works on gems as well
Anzac-A1 Lapis is op.
thecreatorofthedark Technically it effects organics as well, they just have resistance.
StrikeWing17971 um no. Connie and lion had no clue what was happening. Steven and the other gems fell flat. Except lapis because she felt worse grief
It's possible the wands are just like - a capacitor. That stores energy for a time. Like Yellow or blue could charge up a wand with their energy signature and distribute them to high ranking officials. This would mean that like a gun or a battery you only have so many shots, and they prefer to therefore use individual attacks than risk blowing all the energy in one shot...
Since Pink is the youngest, and the gem empire was already well established, what if Pink was fashioned after the injectors instead of the other way around?
Bearstar Presents her being the youngest isnt cannon. Implied, not canon though.

Maybe the stasis things are from blue
She did make glowing balls with lines on reunited
Yah I was think that too. It holds gems in place, but it's stronger because of the aura and it effects them emotionally as well.
I'd believe it. Practically all of her abilities are crowd control.
full party. White as tank, yellow dps, blue support and pink is healer.
Crying Elander 👌
Crying Elander Full Party of Godesses. The Crystal Gems gave a valiant effort, but I don't think they dealt any damage to Blue whatsoever.
wouldnt the bubble that transported steven and white pearl be an example of the stasis power coming from White Diamond herself? cause if we were to take what you established: that tech/common gem tools are lesser replications of the diamonds own powers, then wouldnt it be reasonable to assume that the "stasis tools"(like peridot's robo-fingers and the wand) are just lesser abilities of white's own power? we see that the stasis power is bound by a tool and a projection beam thing, yet when white supposedly uses it, she does so without the beam, being used at a range and without clear line of sight, maybe mentally. the biggest argument against this would be the fact that steven and white peridot were transported by a white bubble, rather than individually frozen by a membrane sort of thing that covers the surface of the target
casual normie It could be that White can control the conditions within the bubbles while the stasis tech can't.
All the ships have the bubble that Steven and White Pearl were transported in.
Sorry to be that person
But you write white Peridot
Instead of white Pearl 😅
Blue diamonds spheres she used in reunited that shot all those little bullets looked quite similar to the shots that peridots ship fired
Great video!! I like your thoughts on White Diamond having the power to create stasis fields. It would explain her pearl's frozen form.
We have seen a weapon based on blue diamonds ability’s, the hand ship had a light sort of cannon and blue diamond can throw light orbs and make orbs that can shoot explosive versions
That's just something that Gems can do. Pearls can even do that, focusing it through her spear.
i cant really see pearl being able to create a ball of light that shoots explosive projectiles, other gems may be able to use a watered down version which would have to be channelled through something like a spear but it would likely be specific to a few gems and would be in no way as strong or be able to use in multiple ways like blue.
if its something gems can just do then you would really expect it to be used to just destroy the rebels when rose wasn't there to protect them instead of fighting them one on one
it makes more sense for hw to take blue diamond combat ability and decide to make that into a weapon instead because it being just another gem ability that all gems can do then you would expect to see it used in battle, especially in gems like jasper who is constantly fighting

Maybe Yellow Diamond’s left hand can fire a beam that reconstitutes a Gem’s form.

No candidates for blue diamond tech?
What about the blur destabilizer that topaz almost used on aquamarine?
The energy beams that homeworld ships can fire could be based on Blue Diamond's ability to shoot her energy from consintrated spheres.
Great video, I love ur channel, liked the vid
Love you Mr.universe

I think the injectors probably came first.
It's like another take on the old question "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?".
what about the mirror that Lapis was trapped in? It seemed to be specifically meant to stop a gem from reforming while still allowing them consciousness for interrogation purposes. Doesn't that align to some degree with Blue Diamond's abilities?
i really love this idea :o it's possible that's why we never saw white diamond's power thing when Steven and Connie first fight that robot head that seemed to have all the diamond's abilities in Lion 2 The Movie. it would just be too difficult of a power to replicate, plus Rose/Pink knew White would probably never come to earth to actually fight her

If White Diamond's powers really have to do with stasis and permanence, maybe it can explsin why White Pearl doesn't move at all?
The shattering Robonoids seem like a candidate for White's ability. If White is truly more powerful than Yellow, a Diamond who can poof Gems in an instant, the only step up I can think of from that is shattering powers.
I’m 100% on board with this theory! Yellow destabilizes and Blue puts others in stasis.
If Homeworld knew of Pink Diamond’s abilities, then how did they not figure out that Pink Diamond was Rose Quartz? It should have been obvious... they even sound the same. Blue and Yellow should’ve at least been suspicious about it and how nothing was adding up.
I’d like to propose that the stasis wands are based on Blue Diamond. When observing her use the power it looked like she was ‘immobilizing them with grief’ and that’s what the stasis does, keeping them from moving. They wouldn’t be able to copy the emotional aspect, so they made it in that way. I know we like to think of the Diamonds as perfect, but Blue was so surprised when Lapis could still move. Personally I think White has some different power waiting for us, something like apathy, or a lack of emotion. In a sense she may be an unfeeling, cold calculation set on one objective, but that’s just an idea.
What about the prisim in the games?!
Stephen's room would be a blue diamond power. The room taps into people emotions right? Or do we think that's more pink diamond's empathy powers?
Rose's room just reads its user's mind.
In terms of the “Pink Diamond can create gemstones (living or not)” power that you stated she had, consider this: the flower she used in that episode looks incredibly similar to the flowers on the moss from “Lars and the Cool Kids.” Perhaps Pink doesn’t have the power to create gemstones, but simply crushed the gemstone that is inside that flower. But your theories are really awesome!!! Just wanted to point out the gemstone thing
The flowers with the gemstones in them were bred by Rose. They were pretty clearly created that way via this same power that we see Pink use.
White's stasis might be the reason why Blue said she hadn't left Homeworld in eons. Homeworld's been falling apart FOR EONS, and she's had to sit there holding it together. Maybe that's why she projected her might so strongly onto her pearl that she broke her; because her pearl is the only means at which she can contact the outside, like using a video game npc or something.
I think the robots on home world translate to blue diamonds power as they shoot out death beems like blue diamond
If the gem injectors are based on Pink's power, that would be a beautiful parallel to her later creating Steven, but it also has implications when it comes to the origins of gem kind. Was Pink Diamond the first gem? Where did she come from? If she is the first, how did she get to the point we see her at in Jungle Moon? At the very least, Pink Diamonds creation inspired and spurred the mass production of gems and advancement of gem kind. This would definitely be a motivation for her to start the war for Earth if she knew she was the reason for the death of planets. She could also inspire the kinder, more ethical creation of gems through Steven. Gems can be made one at a time, instilling value and individuality into each Gem made. Maybe that's part of Pink's intentions for Steven. Oh! What if Pink could make a gem, but not a living one, but Steven could? Maybe Pink/Rose wanted to find a way to change how Home World made gems. It feels plausible given what Peridot said about era 2 gems and Home World's resources and that what made Pink rebel specifically was the affect of Kindergartens on the Earth.
On another note concerning White D holding together homeworld. Just a random thought that came to mind. What if homeworld is WDs emotional "weakness"? What if it really is "home" to her? A symbol of her glory from which it all started. Maybe, just maybe, her reasoning concerning homeworld is sentimental, something she doesn't want to give up or leave behind? I'd like that (i imagined at some point that based on the star theme, she might have been an entity that crushed into original homeworld like a shooting star and emerged from it 💃✨if she's not a star herself or something.. Carbon and chemical fusion and stuff. Who knows)
I really think this theory is correct great job
My only issue with this theory is, if Pink is the youngest diamond then how did they make gems before her and the injectors?
Some less destructive and efficient way, I would imagine.
I don't think the other Diamond's and the rest of Homeworld knew about PD's powers, because if so, SOMEONE (especially one of her fellow Diamond's) would suspect something
What about the blue things in stuck together that topaz almost used against aquamarine. They didn't have the crackly electricity thing like gem destabilizers, but had the same shape. They had a floating oval in the middle. Could they make the target really sad or something?
Korrin Alefalf Those were just Gem destabilizers in a different color.
I think Pearl's replicator wand from Onion Trade may have been based off of white diamond's powers. Which if WD can replicate things, maybe all gems are a form of replication? Or maybe "white" pearl is a replicated form of a cracked pearl doing WD's bidding.
I honestly think the gems don't have anything to simulate White's abilities as one she'd probably be too hard to actually simulate, and two the gems treat her as if she's a goddess and they might see it as heresy or just not want to offend her considering Blue said she has a temper and it could be implied that White is responsible for the destruction of Homeworld. White is treated like a goddess. Pearl said White is above all other gems and remember back in Jungle Moon, the code Yellow put in on the screen had White,Yellow, Blue,Pink and White again, possibly signifying that White is their creator and their destroyer.
If anything has come from Blue and been reproduced as Gem Tech, I could MAYBE see it being the hand-ship canon beams, based off the giant barrage shots of light she tried to destroy the Crystal Gems with in Reunited. Maybe. If I squint really hard. Is that likely? I mean...eh. I guess it would be more applicable as a mass-produced power-into-a-weapon type of tech compared to using her Emotional Aura power. Or at the least it'd be easier to create and reproduce it in general
Wouldn't the comunications be from blue, she can project her feelings like a transmission right?
I agree that the flask robonoids are an extension of pink diamond's power but not the injectors. Pink was the last diamond to be created so what about all previous gems?
AJ Universe, what is your favorite tech field of study? For me, it's Computer Science and Engineering as well as Electrical Engineering.
I think the gems shards that pink diamond made are the shards from 'secret team'
There were Blue gem destabilizers, like they were based off of Blue Diamond but... what they'd do, effect emotional state... (idk how to phase it but) them looking like the yellow one's makes it seem like a shakey design to me. That design looks like it's at least supposed to 'hit' something else.... I mean it seemed cool when Topaz somewhat instinctively ambushed Aquamarine with it, but what was it gonna make her do? Cry?? And then she'll run off?... (Not trying to downplay BD's power)
If they were actually yellow one's and looked blueish because of the lighting, wouldn't they look a little more green?... If that's how lighting works... *ed:* oh! they could be white too! just a thought.
Until those are explained/demonstrated a little more, I dunno what to think about them really.
perhaps the robonoids with there lasers they were fairly similar to blues power in reunited
Great video 👍🏻
My idea for the diamonds weapons/role
Pink-healer/shield
White-knight/sword
Yellow-rouge/Hammer or axe
Blue-support/scythe or staff
Thank God the ship is getting fixed
10/10
I don't think the destabilizers are limited due to lack of technological developments, as we've seen some type of version of it be used as a barrier in Peridot's ship. Maybe your theory about limiting them to melee weapons to ensure no gem has more power is actually more accurate.
MetalDC The force fields on the ship are something significantly weaker, though. A single touch from one doesn't spread energy across the Gem's whole body and poof them like a touch from the wand does. That says to me that the force field is what happens when you try to use a destabilizer at range, which brings it back around to a design limitation. One that they just found a use for.
AJ Universe that makes sense, I just thought about that since both the melee weapon and barrier seemed to affect Steven equally, even if one is stronger than the other, though I didn't want to chalk it up to Steven just being human
Well slap my butt and say WOMP WOMP, good theory my guy.
The transporters are based off the Lars/lion interspace connection
you have an interesting Point sir
I think we actually did see White Diamond use her stasis powers. White Pearl's transportation bubble she picks up Steven in, right?
That was White's ship. Moving bubbles like that are just something that their ships can do.
@@AJUniverse, ah thank you!!
electricity can be redirected the destabilizer is electrical.
But is it tech or is the gem destabilize just a rod of sorts which requires yellow diamond to charge it with her power?
It would be technology either way.
I like it!
Would BD have a weapon or tech based off of her? And if so, what?
I was in highschool when the trial aired
If injectors were made after pink then how were gems made before that? She is the youngest after all and there were colonies and armies before that.
We still don't actually know that she's the youngest. That's never been said anywhere. And Gems must have been made in a different way before the injectors, or how were there Gems alive to make the injectors in the first place.
Yellow and Blue Diamond could heal too, so the flask robonoids could be based on their power too, not just Pink Diamond's.
Yellow and Blue were never shown to be able to repair physical things the way that Rose can.
Destabilizer force feilds exist.
huh, this is an interesting take
Doesn't White teleport with her ball things? Like warp pads?
That's just a function of Gem ships.
AJ Universe But they still teleport the gems when they use the pads?
Or do you mean the ball things are a gem ship function? I should probably brush up on some SU stuff
What if pink diamond made amythest with her abilities it would make sense right and I mean our amythest the crystal gem
*taser laser handbeam thing*
Can you do a theory on if Steven can create gems and if so will he?
This is actually, no lie, what Thursday's video is going to be about.
Is anybody else having an issue with youtube videos jutting out to the right and overlapping the suggestions?
white diamond is skynet
What if Steven crush sum coal make a diamond would need a code of sum sort or will cum to life instantaneously?... Thoughts any one #AjUniverse
But...every gem can make stasis fields...
Jon Brewer No they can't. Bubbles don't put conscious people, Gem or otherwise, into physical stasis, preventing their movements. Even poofed Gems are only kept in stasis mentally. They're almost entirely different.
Tradução?
Alguém???
im gonna miss steven universe :(
There's a lot more to come
I agree w yiy
Imagine turning lapis into a weapon.
but at that point why not just send a fully functioning lapis to do the job instead?
Gatekid3 well maybe this tool could allow the user to do things a normal lapis couldn't.
Instead of Lapis using the barn...
...the barn with use Lapis!
Andrew Shao the barn is very dead also remember the corrupted gem that was in it?
im just imagining that scene, but lapis dive bombs blue diamond while the barn lands by peridot gently.
We have seen a weapon based on blue diamonds ability’s, the hand ship had a sort of light cannon and blue diamond can throw light orbs and make orbs that can shoot explosive versions
That's a good point. It may not be her primary ability but it's something she can do.
