Jasper is the opposite of PD. PD is a runt of the Diamonds, Jasper is a perfect gem of the highest caliber as expected of a quartz. PD sabotaged her own colony and created off-colors to make gems leave the Earth in an effort to save it.
Even if Jasper was "the perfect gem" coming from those origins is still a disgraceful for her (and for HW), she had to fight and constantly prove how strong is she, she doesn't feel perfect at all, she still saw herself as someone who isn't enough, she lived to the high expectations of everyone else and herself, I think she could get a long with Pink
jomsart They are kind of alike, that's why Jasper had something personal with Amethyst (just watched how much she teased her) , BUT Amethyst never thought of living to someone else expectation, and she didn't have to prove anything to no one (until she met Jasper and knew the truth)
Cloverfr Physically, Jasper is practically *the* perfect gem, however, mentally, I would argue, she has the most flaws of all of the characters we’ve encountered, which is not surprising considering everything she’s been through. And, the flaws are in a sad negative, not an actual “messed up” like Rose Quartz/ Pink Diamond sort of mentality. If that makes any sense ;-; I’m pretty sure Lapis is getting really close to getting over everything that’s happened to her, that is, unless something else happens to her to, possibly, raise her guard right up against the Diamonds... WAIT. I’M SO DUMB WHEN SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS M A H O G G A N Y SHE’S GONNA BLOW HER HORN. Welcome to our television program, Character Tragedy! Today we have a few special guests, including: Steven! Bismuth!(possibly) Greg! Sapphire! Ruby! And...drumroll please... J A S P E R! This is gonna get deep
Taco Hana Yeah I know, Jasper has so many flaws, her biggest is that she is autodestructive. But I do think she could get along with PD, because they lived to someone else high expectations, they could understand each other in that way.
We need to remember that pink was playing both sides for a while. I believe that jasper met pink and pink fed her all sorts of praise. This is sad because how many others did pink do this to just to save face? Also, yellow probably was looking at jasper like someone would look at a dead loved ones dog, "it's my only connection to pink that's left"
*!!! Pink wasn't off colored !!!* People have speculated that she came out way too small and that she shapeshifted into a bigger version of herself every time she came into contact with her subjects, because an off-color Diamond is an irreversible stain on Homeworld's image (or, more specifically, the image of the Diamonds' flawlessness). But in the last few moments of A Single Pale Rose, right after Steven texted Pearl that he found her phone, we get to see the actual "shattering" happen. And there we see Pink Diamond being small as she always has been! If she knew that some of her subjects were in front of her palanquin, there's no way she would just walk outside like that. Another thing that adds to this is that White is considerably bigger than Yellow and Blue. No one questions why White is bigger or why Blue and Yellow are smaller. I don't think it wasn't intended for Pink to be smaller. Pink was never an off color.
But it could make it's own theory. See White Diamond took alot of resources to use probably knockout or destroyed a whole planet. Yellow and Blue came next and after that resources were probably nonrenewable. So in order for more colonies and more planets to be taken over they need 4 diamonds. Pink came next with all of there last "diamond resources". Maybe that's why Pink Diamond is Pink instead of Red but that would make her off color so maybe not....
If PD met Jasper, I think the reason Jasper is the way she is because she thought PD died because of her flaws. I could see her thinking along the lines of "if she was made perfect like me she wouldnt have died" thats why her thing is about being perfect and your not strong enough if you arent
Beautifully A Threat no, she doesn't know that Steven's half human half gem, she thinks he's rose. If she finds out that PD was rose then by extension that'll make Steven PD in her mind
Gaming Master Anthony no she knows now. She has called him Steven not rose when fused with Lapis. She had to have seen lapis's thoughts or memories of steven when fused with her. That wasnt enough though. Upon realizing Steven thought she was talking about yellow diamond right before she became corrupted, I think she finally realized at the end steven didnt know what she was talking about and therefore isnt rose. That being said I do see her taking a liking to steven when she finds out he has PD gem.
i have a hole in your theory. Jasper said "i've been fighting ever sence i burst from the ground, BECAUSE of what you did to my planet, BECAUSE of what you did to my colony, BECAUSE what you did to my Diamond" Doesnt this mean Jasper came out around the same time, just after Pink was shattered? maybe her care for pink is more from her own self loathing for not being there, for not doing what the strongest Quartz soldier ever should have done, for not being able to do the most important job of her life, because she came out too late. she is resentfull because despite her perfection, her greatest role was taken from her, her home taken from her, her diamond taken from her before she could even serve her. jasper in short resents not knowing her diamond, while having ever right to have known her, just like steven could never have personally met his mom. steven and jasper here are like paralleled opposites of the same thing
There's a hole in your theory actually. Eyeball Ruby emerged after Jasper, and Eyeball was one to witness Pink Diamond's shattering. Therefore, Jasper could've been there to witness that event. Did Jasper meet PD? Well, I believe not all gems have that marvelous opportunity to meet their diamonds, unless they're elite. Notice the palanquins have curtains too. So, no maybe they never met personally, from a distance, yeah maybe.
The shattering of PD happened at the end of the war though, it's what caused the diamonds to lauch that final attack that corrupted all the gems that were on Earth. I think she means that, ever since the PD shattering happened, Jasper used the anger and guilt to fuel her work for Yellow ("i've been fighting ever since i burst from the ground" shows continuity in the action).
I’m pretty sure Jasper never met Pink. They said the kindergarten was because they needed extra gems during the war. If the war started because of Pink getting shattered then...
Jasper said she never met Rose Quartz in combat, with recent revelations there might be a deeper meaning to that now. Maybe Pink was intentionally keeping Jasper as far away from her Rose persona as humanly possible. Fear maybe but I wouldn't rule out a possibility of pride either, she might not have wanted her perfect quartz to get damaged.
It all started as a rebellion and later with the amount of followers it became a war that last more that 1000 years, consideration that HW gems were running away in panic (Monster Reunion, A whole new world) the attacked of the Diamonds wasn't planned, and was most likely a respond to Pink Diamond being "shattered"
If Pink Damond really wanted to get rid of Jasper, it'd have been stupid easy. Just send her on a solo mission, as Pink Diamond, then ambush her. I'm sure Rose could have taken out Jasper by herself. And Rose with Garnet would be no contest. I think you're adding too much evil to Pink Diamond. The whole point of the series is that good and evil are almost never that simple.
However its also just as likely that Jasper was across the battlefield from "Rose" and saw the shattering from a distance. This could also be why she feels so horrible about it. If she had been better and stronger she could have destroyed the gems in her way.
Midget Kangaroo now if Jasper tried to shatter Steven all over again once they release her from her bubble and Steven tells her that he's Pink Diamond, Jasper's gonna be sorry for trying to shatter her own diamond all those times XD
Nowon & DPool Productions they are butthurt about the reveal and are making any theory they can to make pink seem like some horrible remorseless monster.
Well, when your main character's mother is a two faced liar who put herself before every single person around her, willing to destroy her mothers' hearts, mentally abuse her pearl, lie to all of home world and her troops, and allowed her fallen, corrupted allies to be ignored while she went around getting dick, the show's not gonna be a nice happy ride.
I think Pink was the only one who cared for her Gems. The others seem to only care as long as the Gem is useful and obeys. Remember home world society is more mechanical with the emphasis on purpose. Yellow want Jasper back because she failed and wanted to make her pay. Pink never wanted anyone to get hurt thus she never shattered gems. It is true she cared for all life.
Is every theory going to be about how awful Pink Diamond is now? We have no proof Jasper even MET Pink Diamond. Considering she was common soldier, I doubt it.
Enzo 2206 cause jasper herself said she never encountered rose quartz and from the sound of it she actually somewhat respects her for her fighting and strategy Something she would not respect if she saw "rose" shatter pink
I always thought that she looked smaller in Jungle Moon because she was more childish. Like how Steven's age changes based on his mental state. That had to come from somewhere. So if Pink looked smaller then, it's because she was more mentally childish. But she grew up a bit when she finally got her own colony.
fairymairah well her diamond was shattered and she never recovered from that. She spent months trapped in a mental hellscape where it's implied that lapis tortured her. Which left her so traumatized she is constantly seen in the water afterwards. She became so obsessed with corrupted gems because I think she knew what they were and had a need to feel some level gem familiarity. Only to be defeated by a character that treated her like a joke and was another traumatized point being fusion. To the point it lead to her becoming corrupted. Whatever is happening to her now has got to be insanity only to now find out her entire purpose for existing was a lie. It's one after the other. I feel bad for her in the same way I feel bad for the Ice King. I have more emotional investment with her than I have with Steven for years.
In a single pale rose. When Steven is in pearlseption when he sees pearl crying while shapeshifted into rose, right before beaming Steven into her gem, she looks off screen because you hear a very loud scream. If you listen to it, it’s recognizable, it’s Jasper’s voice.
I'm waiting for someone's assessment of Steven and his reaction to this and his mental state. When u look at that ending frame of a single pale rose, garnet and amethyst are shocked but he just looks so sad
I'm pretty sure they never met since jasper says "I've been fighting from the second I broke free of the earth's crust BECAUSE of what you did.... " which includes pink's "shattering"
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BRAK MY HEART FOR JASPER ALL OVER AGAIN EVERYTIME YOU MENTION HER! I'm just so sad for Jasper, she dosen't deserve any of this shit that the show and the fandom force her through.
I think "hated" is a strong word. Rose did some bad shit, but she 100 percent had good intentions. She may have greatly feared or disliked someone..but not hate
I like how, at the rose diamond revelation, everyone was either angry or excited about it. It's been about a week now, and everyones talking about "How this will be affected by this"
Nathan Forte No. Pearl said herself she belongs to nobody so I doubt she would just be like "Oh yeah you're PD now so I'm just gonna belong to you." Pearl wouldn't *want* to be Steven's Pearl.
@The Roundtable - Hey this has been on my mind ever since the Pink Diamond was Rose reveal. What if White Diamond knew? She never showed up for the trial for the murder of one of her fellow diamonds after all.
But Vox, didn’t Jasper say she broke free out of the earth’s crust to what Steven (Rose) did do her Diamond? So doesn’t that mean she was made after Pink’s shattering??
Steven: *chilling in pink's room* Jasper: *muttering* finally... my diamonds' back... *walks in pinks room to see her* Steven: jasper! Why are you here! Jasper: why are you here Steven: *muttering* oh yeah... pink was your diamond.... *White diamond walks in* White diamond: hello, jasper... Jasper: oh! White diamond.... why is he here? White diamond: what do you mean?!?! Why are you talking to your diamond that way?!?! Jasper: W-WHAT?!?! T-that thing is not my diamond...
I think if Jasper gets a redemption arc, it should be similar to the diamonds. Like she starts off with calling her "My Diamond" and only hanging around with Steven and the Crystal Gems because she belongs to her/him (Steven) but like the diamonds, realizing that they are different people.
What if Pink was playing Jasper along with Pearl? She could've done that to either distract her from what Rose Quartz was doing. Even to the point of seducing Jasper to make her think Pink had valued the gem greatly. In turn, Jasper would fight for Pink like Pearl had done with Rose.
I'm just eager to get a clear timeline of events, because there are a lot of theories that need the one thing or another to happen before or after Pink Diamond is shattered. Jasper emerging is a big event that needs a clearly defined place in the timeline.
What if Jasper turned out the way she is because no matter how perfect she came out of the ground, how powerful she was, how good of a quarts soldier she was, maybe Pink Diamond just straight up ignored her achievements in the war and that made Jasper crave Pink Diamond's approval even more and therefore taking her inner anger on the battlefield.
My theory on why pink was so small at first is because when the diamonds are born they have no planets concord and they more concord the more they grow and As for pink diamond case since she only had earth and the moon she slightly grown.
I just hope that when the arc starts, Yellow Diamond is still there to help explain everything. She is the only gem I think Jasper would listen to, and it would be interesting to see the contrast between Yellow's relief and Jasper's probable breakdown.
Honestly, I want to see Jasper join the crystal gems for three reasons 1. We already have Lapis and Peridot on the crystal gems, so why not jasper? 2. It could lead to a more stable fusion of malachite, which would be pretty cool. 3. THAT WOULD MEAN 36 POSSIBLE CRYSTAL GEM FUSIONS!
Also a lot of the gems coming out wrong could also help persuade blue and yellow diamond that the Earth was not a suitable colony because every gem made there was flawed
I see your point. Also doesn't the fact that "Rose" seeing the beauty in *everything* kinda debunk this theory anyway? Just because she did Jasper a great wrong doesn't mean she intended to, and it doesn't mean Pink Diamond hated her.
No I have one question where did that footage that was in a completely different art style come from because I want to know I love seeing new content for Steven Universe and I really want to see that because it gives a little bit more time to Jasper or at least I assume it does and be more specific the clip with the no outline style of animation
Ghost Fox That clip with Jasper and Amethyst is actually from an ad campaign run by Dove and Cartoon Network. If I'm not misremembering, the ad was promoting body positivity and accepting yourself and others :)
I definitely want to see more of Jasper and I want to see what she thinks about Rose being Pink Diamond. She's an interesting character an a great antagonist. She makes the show interesting.
wait a minute It's been a minute since i watched season one, but wouldn't have jasper recognized pearl and vice versa?? Maybe jasper called pearl defective because she remembers that she was pink diamond's pearl and she became a crystal gem. But thinking about this, this makes me even more confused. There were flashbacks of pearl fighting with rose. How did nobody notice that was the same pearl that belonged to pink diamond fighting with the crystal gems?
Mees de Wijs she is a diamond. Diamonds are cabale of many things that other gems cant do. Gems other than diamonds cant shapeshift for a long time. But diamonds can keep it like forever.
Because she is a diamond, so the writers can pull shit to say its their power for convenience, just like alot in season 1, especially that sand control of Pearl
I disagree I don't believe Jasper ever actually met pink diamond. When Jasper was being corrupted she had told Steven "because of you I've been fighting from the second I broke out of the crust, because of what you did to my colony, because what you did to my Dimond, pink Dimond!" This and with what Peridot says at the beginning of the episode when they arrive to the kindergarten "halfway through the Rebellion they were scrambling for soldiers" it's more than possible that pink diamond was already shattered and living the life as Rose Quartz full time. So I don't think she even knew pink in any way.
There's a hole in your theory actually. Eyeball Ruby emerged after Jasper, and Eyeball was one to witness Pink Diamond's shattering. Therefore, Jasper could've been there to witness that event. Did Jasper meet PD? Well, I believe not all gems have that marvelous opportunity to meet their diamonds, unless they're elite. Notice the palanquins have curtains too. So, no maybe they never met personally, from a distance, yeah maybe.
Jasper really is going to be very interesting, hell, we might even get a song out of her. I also want to see how Lapis reacts to this if Jasper is uncorrupted when she comes back
The Idea of Lars as a space pirate using the same teleportation powers as Lion to jump his ship in better spots to fight enemy ships is the best thing I've ever heard all day.
Hey I used to think that maybe one day the humans would actually care about the gem war and there could be some cool human helpers to the crystal gems in conflicts. Doubt it will come into play.
There's still plenty of show left. You don't know. And Jasper isn't dead. She's corrupted and bubbled right now. If you're in a bubble, you're gonna be let out the bubble eventually.
Well, she is kinda dead for like, the entire of season four after Mindfull education, but now with the Pink Diamond thing, i believe she will come back, especially with the Bingo Card saying she will
I see you are still bitter over the reveal. Every theory you've had since has tried to paint pink as some horrid remorseless monster. You theorists are really being childish right now.
Well, pink is a lot like zach Morris in the sense that he used everyone around him to get what he wanted. He is just stating what the story is seeming like at this point. Wouldn't you demonize someone who uses others for their own gain?
Also just because Pink unintentionally caused Jasper misery doesn't mean she hated her. That would go against her "seeing the beauty in *everything"* moral.
Stitch Blue no i wouldnt Context matters mate, thw reason for the war wasnt a lie she wanted to protect earth And even when she lied about her identity it was only to stop the info from somehow leaking to homeworld and the war restarting
Stitch Blue why are you all so adamant that she must have done everything for selfish or insidious reasons. Sure she originally came to earth as a diamond trying to colonize the planet. But she fell in love with the life there and the freedom it enjoyed and realized colonization meant the destruction of said life. So she tried finding excuses to leave the planet. The other diamonds didn't listen. She grew desperate. Realizing that there were gems unhappy with their lot in life or were just rejected for being off color she devised a plan, one that would not only save the planet bit provide said off color gems a home. She figured a rebellion of gems would convince the diamonds to back off the planet. It didnt. She refused to allow the crystal gems to shatter other gems. She refused to kill. She was backed into a corner and forced into a last resort tactic, faking her death. She had no way of knowing the diamonds would go so far, be so cruel. She had posed as rose because she knew that the crystal gems hated the diamonds. It didnt matter that she wanted their freedom, she was still a diamond. So she made her final order to pearl be to keep her secret. She tried for thousands of years afterwards to reverse the damage the other diamonds had done to the gems on earth. She was a good person whose actions led to unfortunate consequences that garnet didn't even predict.
I have a few theories I would love to hear your thoughts on about the diamonds, mainly pink. What if diamonds grow in size over time based on age or better yet based on the size of their courts? It would explain pinks size difference in general plus her vrowth spurt from jungle moon
Ether101 Prime you'd think he'd have learned his lesson after how he treated the rose is pd theory and its supporters. Hes just salty and all kinds of butthurt cuz he was so far off the mark that its clear he cant theorize for crap.
👏👏👏 PREACH MAN 👏👏👏 When/if it's revealed to Jasper it's going to be HEART WRENCHING because of how much she worshiped Pink, and how much she hated Rose. Just o o f
A lot of people think it was Jasper that yelled when Pearl poofed Pink (the yell that made her turn her head and show it was her). If that turns out to be the case, she must have.
I'll come back to the theories after vox gets all of his "Rose is the TRUE villain" nonsense out of his system. It just seems pandering at this point, and hardly what SU would have in store with all the characters and complex decisions.
liking the idea is fine but believing its a likely path for the show to go down is the problem. this "theory" would make a good fan fic but is very unlikely to ever be true.
I listened but didn't really agree with it. Like, that way of thinking about Rose only works if you go through the Doug Walker way of reasoning: seeing what you like and throwing away everything that seems insignificant even though it plays a part. I mean, between Rose's Scabbard and We Need To Talk alone, we have more than one side of what Rose/Pink was thinking. Otherwise it's way too presumptuous to know wha was going on in PD's mind.
It's likely more to inspire fan interest, which is cool, but the whole "ROSE IS THE TRUE VILLAIN" angle is eye roll worthy. There's SO MUCH of other diamond motivation and theory that can be explored.
I NOTICED SOMETHING. In a Sing Pale Rose, the flashback before the last one, when "Rose shatters" Pink Diamond, you can hear a 'NOOOO!' in the backround. The voice sounds very scratchy like Jasper's so yeah, Jasper was there!
JASPER DESERVES BETTER

POOR JASPY BABY GIRLL
Jasper is the opposite of PD. PD is a runt of the Diamonds, Jasper is a perfect gem of the highest caliber as expected of a quartz. PD sabotaged her own colony and created off-colors to make gems leave the Earth in an effort to save it.
Even if Jasper was "the perfect gem" coming from those origins is still a disgraceful for her (and for HW), she had to fight and constantly prove how strong is she, she doesn't feel perfect at all, she still saw herself as someone who isn't enough, she lived to the high expectations of everyone else and herself, I think she could get a long with Pink
jomsart They are kind of alike, that's why Jasper had something personal with Amethyst (just watched how much she teased her) , BUT Amethyst never thought of living to someone else expectation, and she didn't have to prove anything to no one (until she met Jasper and knew the truth)
Cloverfr Physically, Jasper is practically *the* perfect gem, however, mentally, I would argue, she has the most flaws of all of the characters we’ve encountered, which is not surprising considering everything she’s been through. And, the flaws are in a sad negative, not an actual “messed up” like Rose Quartz/ Pink Diamond sort of mentality.
If that makes any sense ;-;
I’m pretty sure Lapis is getting really close to getting over everything that’s happened to her, that is, unless something else happens to her to, possibly, raise her guard right up against the Diamonds...
WAIT.
I’M SO DUMB
WHEN SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS M A H O G G A N Y SHE’S GONNA BLOW HER HORN.
Welcome to our television program, Character Tragedy! Today we have a few special guests, including:
Steven!
Bismuth!(possibly)
Greg!
Sapphire!
Ruby!
And...drumroll please...
J A S P E R!
This is gonna get deep
Taco Hana Yeah I know, Jasper has so many flaws, her biggest is that she is autodestructive.
But I do think she could get along with PD, because they lived to someone else high expectations, they could understand each other in that way.
If PD didn't do it not of us would be here the earth would be a Large geo weapon so thanks to PD YOUR ALIVE DAMNIT!
We need to remember that pink was playing both sides for a while. I believe that jasper met pink and pink fed her all sorts of praise. This is sad because how many others did pink do this to just to save face? Also, yellow probably was looking at jasper like someone would look at a dead loved ones dog, "it's my only connection to pink that's left"
Ichiyama22 and Eyeball.
Ichiyama22 Yellow kept the angery relics, lmao
Stitch Blue LMAO
The last sentence hurt me.
Cloverfr I know :( I've felt that pain myself
jasper: my diamond .after all these years of service do you care about me . pink[heavy thinking]: .......NO. jasper: [intense sobbing]
Marin Eduard
Probably less sobbing and more sheer mind break before going into full berserk or full hermit.
Jasper would have been right about rose reducing a gem to a more unstable or offcolor or rebellious state if what vox says is true
Pink Diamond thought for a moment. And then laughed.
Marin Eduard damn it man i can feel the text
*sobbing intensifies*
*!!! Pink wasn't off colored !!!* People have speculated that she came out way too small and that she shapeshifted into a bigger version of herself every time she came into contact with her subjects, because an off-color Diamond is an irreversible stain on Homeworld's image (or, more specifically, the image of the Diamonds' flawlessness).
But in the last few moments of A Single Pale Rose, right after Steven texted Pearl that he found her phone, we get to see the actual "shattering" happen. And there we see Pink Diamond being small as she always has been! If she knew that some of her subjects were in front of her palanquin, there's no way she would just walk outside like that.
Another thing that adds to this is that White is considerably bigger than Yellow and Blue. No one questions why White is bigger or why Blue and Yellow are smaller. I don't think it wasn't intended for Pink to be smaller. Pink was never an off color.
Rens no one saw the shattering and no one would stare at her because that might get them in trouble
Rens keep in mind at that point pink gave 0 shits what her sisters thought
But it could make it's own theory. See White Diamond took alot of resources to use probably knockout or destroyed a whole planet. Yellow and Blue came next and after that resources were probably nonrenewable. So in order for more colonies and more planets to be taken over they need 4 diamonds. Pink came next with all of there last "diamond resources". Maybe that's why Pink Diamond is Pink instead of Red but that would make her off color so maybe not....
She could still be off color, even if her size is correct
She’s probably the smallest because she’s a low tier diamond. Like how white diamond was the biggest so the most in control ???? Idk just a thought
If PD met Jasper, I think the reason Jasper is the way she is because she thought PD died because of her flaws. I could see her thinking along the lines of "if she was made perfect like me she wouldnt have died" thats why her thing is about being perfect and your not strong enough if you arent
Beautifully A Threat but also if she met PD and kept that sot of mindset, she wouldn't be as pissed as she is at Steven.
Why not? Jasper doesnt see Steven as a perfect being. All she knows is he's half human half gem. Plus she doesnt know Steven has PD gem.
Beautifully A Threat no, she doesn't know that Steven's half human half gem, she thinks he's rose. If she finds out that PD was rose then by extension that'll make Steven PD in her mind
Gaming Master Anthony no she knows now. She has called him Steven not rose when fused with Lapis. She had to have seen lapis's thoughts or memories of steven when fused with her. That wasnt enough though. Upon realizing Steven thought she was talking about yellow diamond right before she became corrupted, I think she finally realized at the end steven didnt know what she was talking about and therefore isnt rose. That being said I do see her taking a liking to steven when she finds out he has PD gem.
Beautifully A Threat huh. I'll have to rewatch that arc then
*Jasper looking at steven* . Jasper: “Hey Boss. WTF?!”
If pink intent was for "defective" gems, then wouldn't the only off color in pink's court be Jasper?
LovelyLittleStalker it wasnt her intent, she just never shattered off colors
The Famethysts are from Pink. They are also Off Colors.
Jasper is a Famethyst.
LovelyLittleStalker I don’t think she purposely made imperfect gems.
i have a hole in your theory.
Jasper said "i've been fighting ever sence i burst from the ground, BECAUSE of what you did to my planet, BECAUSE of what you did to my colony, BECAUSE what you did to my Diamond"
Doesnt this mean Jasper came out around the same time, just after Pink was shattered? maybe her care for pink is more from her own self loathing for not being there, for not doing what the strongest Quartz soldier ever should have done, for not being able to do the most important job of her life, because she came out too late. she is resentfull because despite her perfection, her greatest role was taken from her, her home taken from her, her diamond taken from her before she could even serve her.
jasper in short resents not knowing her diamond, while having ever right to have known her, just like steven could never have personally met his mom.
steven and jasper here are like paralleled opposites of the same thing
Oh I like this one!
There's a hole in your theory actually.
Eyeball Ruby emerged after Jasper, and Eyeball was one to witness Pink Diamond's shattering. Therefore, Jasper could've been there to witness that event.
Did Jasper meet PD? Well, I believe not all gems have that marvelous opportunity to meet their diamonds, unless they're elite. Notice the palanquins have curtains too. So, no maybe they never met personally, from a distance, yeah maybe.
The shattering of PD happened at the end of the war though, it's what caused the diamonds to lauch that final attack that corrupted all the gems that were on Earth. I think she means that, ever since the PD shattering happened, Jasper used the anger and guilt to fuel her work for Yellow ("i've been fighting ever since i burst from the ground" shows continuity in the action).
I’m pretty sure Jasper never met Pink. They said the kindergarten was because they needed extra gems during the war. If the war started because of Pink getting shattered then...
It wasn't though, Pink was shattered at the end of the war
kobe jones The war started well before pinks shattering I’m pretty sure it ended with her being shattered and the diamonds launching their attack
Jasper said she never met Rose Quartz in combat, with recent revelations there might be a deeper meaning to that now. Maybe Pink was intentionally keeping Jasper as far away from her Rose persona as humanly possible. Fear maybe but I wouldn't rule out a possibility of pride either, she might not have wanted her perfect quartz to get damaged.
The shattering of pink was at the end of the war
It all started as a rebellion and later with the amount of followers it became a war that last more that 1000 years, consideration that HW gems were running away in panic (Monster Reunion, A whole new world) the attacked of the Diamonds wasn't planned, and was most likely a respond to Pink Diamond being "shattered"
If Pink Damond really wanted to get rid of Jasper, it'd have been stupid easy. Just send her on a solo mission, as Pink Diamond, then ambush her. I'm sure Rose could have taken out Jasper by herself. And Rose with Garnet would be no contest. I think you're adding too much evil to Pink Diamond. The whole point of the series is that good and evil are almost never that simple.
Is that why everyone keeps getting redeemed?
Wasn't jasper the one who yelled in "A single pale rose"? Like when pearl disguised as Rose looked away since she heard a yell. Wasn't that jasper?
Aleksandr Bultema if it were jasper would have attacked rose, but jasper states she never met rose in combat
UndertaleSkeleBros true true, I wanna know who yelled though :0
However its also just as likely that Jasper was across the battlefield from "Rose" and saw the shattering from a distance. This could also be why she feels so horrible about it. If she had been better and stronger she could have destroyed the gems in her way.
it sounded like her
Almighty Kue sorry but she would have gone into a rage and fought with rose quartz something we know never happens
Jasper sucked out too much resources and cane out first so everyone else didn't come out right
Nuuu, poor big buff Cheeto puff! She deserves better! 😢
Oblivious Senpai she tried to shatter steven.... twice sorru bitch can fuck off
Jasper deserves all world's love ;^;
UndertaleSkeleBros Lol and Steven is pink diamond
Midget Kangaroo now if Jasper tried to shatter Steven all over again once they release her from her bubble and Steven tells her that he's Pink Diamond, Jasper's gonna be sorry for trying to shatter her own diamond all those times XD
Jeez! How dark are you guys going to make your theories?! Damn, Vox!!
Nowon & DPool Productions Once there's a new significant SU, SVTFOE or OK KO episode.
Nowon & DPool Productions they are butthurt about the reveal and are making any theory they can to make pink seem like some horrible remorseless monster.
Well, when your main character's mother is a two faced liar who put herself before every single person around her, willing to destroy her mothers' hearts, mentally abuse her pearl, lie to all of home world and her troops, and allowed her fallen, corrupted allies to be ignored while she went around getting dick, the show's not gonna be a nice happy ride.
Ravin MadMan
Name one good thing she did.
Ravin MadMan yea these guys been so butt hurt. Like everyday they got a negative vid about PD. Lol so much hate
I think Pink was the only one who cared for her Gems. The others seem to only care as long as the Gem is useful and obeys. Remember home world society is more mechanical with the emphasis on purpose. Yellow want Jasper back because she failed and wanted to make her pay. Pink never wanted anyone to get hurt thus she never shattered gems. It is true she cared for all life.
Pearl and Jasper need to have a chat. They're probably the most tortured characters
Is every theory going to be about how awful Pink Diamond is now? We have no proof Jasper even MET Pink Diamond. Considering she was common soldier, I doubt it.
Savannah Simpson I think the scream we heard when she was fake shattered was her.
Wordplay Reviews no it wasnt
Enzo 2206 cause jasper herself said she never encountered rose quartz and from the sound of it she actually somewhat respects her for her fighting and strategy
Something she would not respect if she saw "rose" shatter pink
Wordplay Reviews That sounded like a Ruby
Charly Stones i want proof of this
I always thought that she looked smaller in Jungle Moon because she was more childish. Like how Steven's age changes based on his mental state. That had to come from somewhere. So if Pink looked smaller then, it's because she was more mentally childish. But she grew up a bit when she finally got her own colony.
Jasper has a life of constant tragedy. This makes me feel so bad for her.
i want to agree ! ! ! ! !
fairymairah well her diamond was shattered and she never recovered from that. She spent months trapped in a mental hellscape where it's implied that lapis tortured her. Which left her so traumatized she is constantly seen in the water afterwards. She became so obsessed with corrupted gems because I think she knew what they were and had a need to feel some level gem familiarity. Only to be defeated by a character that treated her like a joke and was another traumatized point being fusion. To the point it lead to her becoming corrupted. Whatever is happening to her now has got to be insanity only to now find out her entire purpose for existing was a lie. It's one after the other. I feel bad for her in the same way I feel bad for the Ice King. I have more emotional investment with her than I have with Steven for years.
fairymairah agree with you
+crazy_fangirl_37 :3 ^_^ thank you ! ! !
Aaand to complete the cake, no one likes her, both in the show and in the fandom, its sad
I think the reason why her gem is on her nose, is because she can't stop to smell the roses.
I pray to God that this Isn't true.
Everything Jasper has ever ever done in her life was for her diamond.
In a single pale rose. When Steven is in pearlseption when he sees pearl crying while shapeshifted into rose, right before beaming Steven into her gem, she looks off screen because you hear a very loud scream. If you listen to it, it’s recognizable, it’s Jasper’s voice.
I'm waiting for someone's assessment of Steven and his reaction to this and his mental state. When u look at that ending frame of a single pale rose, garnet and amethyst are shocked but he just looks so sad
Rose Foxwell-morgan I mean, wouldn't you be if you just found out your pretty much the next in line for a tyrannical (to him and the gems) throne?
I'm pretty sure they never met since jasper says "I've been fighting from the second I broke free of the earth's crust BECAUSE of what you did.... " which includes pink's "shattering"
My favorite episode was Earthlings and my fav fusion is Smokey and jasper caused the fusion so jasper for me is one of my fav characters
Random thing to say but I love how gems either have HELLA thick lips or no lips at all.
It's going to be the saddest arc ever
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BRAK MY HEART FOR JASPER ALL OVER AGAIN EVERYTIME YOU MENTION HER!
I'm just so sad for Jasper, she dosen't deserve any of this shit that the show and the fandom force her through.
I think "hated" is a strong word. Rose did some bad shit, but she 100 percent had good intentions. She may have greatly feared or disliked someone..but not hate
I love how u talk about real theories ( idk how u spell it) yet still make it funny
Just wanna point out I’m NOT letting Steven get evil!! Or Connie
I like how, at the rose diamond revelation, everyone was either angry or excited about it. It's been about a week now, and everyones talking about "How this will be affected by this"
"Rebecca EXPLAIN! What do you mean this is the same cut?"
I love this
OMG IS PEARL STEVENS PEARL NOW?!?!?!?!?
Nathan Forte No. Pearl said herself she belongs to nobody so I doubt she would just be like "Oh yeah you're PD now so I'm just gonna belong to you." Pearl wouldn't *want* to be Steven's Pearl.
春の花 ッ maybe so but earth is technically still his colony
That explains why she was so protective of him from the start
🤔
if jasper joins the crystal gems....my heart will BURST AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT
@The Roundtable - Hey this has been on my mind ever since the Pink Diamond was Rose reveal. What if White Diamond knew? She never showed up for the trial for the murder of one of her fellow diamonds after all.
That makes a lot of sense...Pink had all these off colors and Jasper all of a sudden appeared perfect? Something not right
I think Pink Diamond was okay with Off-Colors because she was also defective with her size.
But Vox, didn’t Jasper say she broke free out of the earth’s crust to what Steven (Rose) did do her Diamond? So doesn’t that mean she was made after Pink’s shattering??
Other lesser gems: worshiping the diamonds
Diamonds to the elites/aristocratic gems: WeLCoMe To tHe hYpe hOuSE
Steven: *chilling in pink's room*
Jasper: *muttering* finally... my diamonds' back... *walks in pinks room to see her*
Steven: jasper! Why are you here!
Jasper: why are you here
Steven: *muttering* oh yeah... pink was your diamond....
*White diamond walks in*
White diamond: hello, jasper...
Jasper: oh! White diamond.... why is he here?
White diamond: what do you mean?!?! Why are you talking to your diamond that way?!?!
Jasper: W-WHAT?!?! T-that thing is not my diamond...
Yea she probably will do that
I think if Jasper gets a redemption arc, it should be similar to the diamonds. Like she starts off with calling her "My Diamond" and only hanging around with Steven and the Crystal Gems because she belongs to her/him (Steven) but like the diamonds, realizing that they are different people.
What if Pink was playing Jasper along with Pearl? She could've done that to either distract her from what Rose Quartz was doing. Even to the point of seducing Jasper to make her think Pink had valued the gem greatly. In turn, Jasper would fight for Pink like Pearl had done with Rose.
I cannot even EXPRESS how excited I am at the idea of Jasper returning. IM DYING FOR IT AHHH.
Amazing video !Love your theories so much!
I'm just eager to get a clear timeline of events, because there are a lot of theories that need the one thing or another to happen before or after Pink Diamond is shattered. Jasper emerging is a big event that needs a clearly defined place in the timeline.
I wanna see what it looks like when a gem emerges from its hole
What if Jasper turned out the way she is because no matter how perfect she came out of the ground, how powerful she was, how good of a quarts soldier she was, maybe Pink Diamond just straight up ignored her achievements in the war and that made Jasper crave Pink Diamond's approval even more and therefore taking her inner anger on the battlefield.
My theory on why pink was so small at first is because when the diamonds are born they have no planets concord and they more concord the more they grow and As for pink diamond case since she only had earth and the moon she slightly grown.
good theory! White Diamond has the most planets! and she's Bigger than the other Diamonds ! ! ! ! !
I just hope that when the arc starts, Yellow Diamond is still there to help explain everything. She is the only gem I think Jasper would listen to, and it would be interesting to see the contrast between Yellow's relief and Jasper's probable breakdown.
I think they haven’t met ever since pink diamond faked her own death
I love Blackfoot's videos,and you guys got me to him. He is so positive and a great part of the fandom! Thank you!
Wait if jaspers gem is where her nose is does that mean she doesn’t have a nose AND does that mean she cant Smell anything?!
Discuss
Honestly, I want to see Jasper join the crystal gems for three reasons
1. We already have Lapis and Peridot on the crystal gems, so why not jasper?
2. It could lead to a more stable fusion of malachite, which would be pretty cool.
3. THAT WOULD MEAN 36 POSSIBLE CRYSTAL GEM FUSIONS!
Cheeto Puff Redemption!!
Jasper Quartz hecc yeah
Also a lot of the gems coming out wrong could also help persuade blue and yellow diamond that the Earth was not a suitable colony because every gem made there was flawed
I feel like you're just making up reasons to hate Pink Diamond at this point.
Doc O Carneiro exactly
Doc O Carneiro I kinda feel this
Yeah, seems that way
Nah
I see your point.
Also doesn't the fact that "Rose" seeing the beauty in *everything* kinda debunk this theory anyway?
Just because she did Jasper a great wrong doesn't mean she intended to, and it doesn't mean Pink Diamond hated her.
Jasper: destroying gems for fun
Jasper after watching this video: Crying eating 50 tubs of ice cream
No I have one question where did that footage that was in a completely different art style come from because I want to know I love seeing new content for Steven Universe and I really want to see that because it gives a little bit more time to Jasper or at least I assume it does and be more specific the clip with the no outline style of animation
Ghost Fox That clip with Jasper and Amethyst is actually from an ad campaign run by Dove and Cartoon Network. If I'm not misremembering, the ad was promoting body positivity and accepting yourself and others :)
Ghost Fox I think you’re talking about the Dove self-esteem project, you can find it easily, just look it up
I always wanted the Cheeto puff to be a Crystal gem with her snatched eyeliner and buffness lol
SOOO EARLY I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY
I definitely want to see more of Jasper and I want to see what she thinks about Rose being Pink Diamond. She's an interesting character an a great antagonist. She makes the show interesting.
Yesss another videoooo
wait a minute
It's been a minute since i watched season one, but wouldn't have jasper recognized pearl and vice versa?? Maybe jasper called pearl defective because she remembers that she was pink diamond's pearl and she became a crystal gem.
But thinking about this, this makes me even more confused. There were flashbacks of pearl fighting with rose. How did nobody notice that was the same pearl that belonged to pink diamond fighting with the crystal gems?
But why did PD's eyes change when she changed into rose but pearl's didn't
Mees de Wijs when she shapeshifted, pink had more control over her features. When she reformed she was able to keep the form forever
Mees de Wijs she is a diamond. Diamonds are cabale of many things that other gems cant do. Gems other than diamonds cant shapeshift for a long time. But diamonds can keep it like forever.
nomad link yeah well okay but has that been confirmed? I just find it a way too lazy outcome overall but that’s just my opinion
Because she is a diamond, so the writers can pull shit to say its their power for convenience, just like alot in season 1, especially that sand control of Pearl
She can’t keep it forever. After she was poofed, she reformed into Rose Quartz.
Seriously how many of these videos are you guys gonna make?!
I disagree I don't believe Jasper ever actually met pink diamond. When Jasper was being corrupted she had told Steven "because of you I've been fighting from the second I broke out of the crust, because of what you did to my colony, because what you did to my Dimond, pink Dimond!" This and with what Peridot says at the beginning of the episode when they arrive to the kindergarten "halfway through the Rebellion they were scrambling for soldiers" it's more than possible that pink diamond was already shattered and living the life as Rose Quartz full time. So I don't think she even knew pink in any way.
There's a hole in your theory actually.
Eyeball Ruby emerged after Jasper, and Eyeball was one to witness Pink Diamond's shattering. Therefore, Jasper could've been there to witness that event.
Did Jasper meet PD? Well, I believe not all gems have that marvelous opportunity to meet their diamonds, unless they're elite. Notice the palanquins have curtains too. So, no maybe they never met personally, from a distance, yeah maybe.
Fusion in this show is op a gem who was never soppoused to battle and a weak common soldier were able to beat the perfect soldier
Who else was here in under a minute?
Jasper really is going to be very interesting, hell, we might even get a song out of her. I also want to see how Lapis reacts to this if Jasper is uncorrupted when she comes back
me too pink diamond i hate her too
The Idea of Lars as a space pirate using the same teleportation powers as Lion to jump his ship in better spots to fight enemy ships is the best thing I've ever heard all day.
Interesting idea
I don’t think pink diamond/ rose quartz would hate any gem no matter what, now nervous is more likely
Anyone dying to see the new eps?????????
Who isn't?
Remember, Steven is only as old as he feels, and since Steven was pink, logic implies the same applies to her.
Na Jasper is dead basically. I wouldn't count on cool stuff like that happening in this show.
StormyDmaster Jasper is not dead😂... she'll come back in the future😌
Hey I used to think that maybe one day the humans would actually care about the gem war and there could be some cool human helpers to the crystal gems in conflicts. Doubt it will come into play.
There's still plenty of show left. You don't know. And Jasper isn't dead. She's corrupted and bubbled right now. If you're in a bubble, you're gonna be let out the bubble eventually.
Well, she is kinda dead for like, the entire of season four after Mindfull education, but now with the Pink Diamond thing, i believe she will come back, especially with the Bingo Card saying she will
Chill the hell out. Rebecca said both Bismuth and Jasper are gonna come back. Look it up.
Dude, thanks for the shoutout ^_^
I see you are still bitter over the reveal. Every theory you've had since has tried to paint pink as some horrid remorseless monster. You theorists are really being childish right now.
Ravin MadMan true
Well, pink is a lot like zach Morris in the sense that he used everyone around him to get what he wanted. He is just stating what the story is seeming like at this point. Wouldn't you demonize someone who uses others for their own gain?
Also just because Pink unintentionally caused Jasper misery doesn't mean she hated her.
That would go against her "seeing the beauty in *everything"* moral.
Stitch Blue no i wouldnt
Context matters mate, thw reason for the war wasnt a lie she wanted to protect earth
And even when she lied about her identity it was only to stop the info from somehow leaking to homeworld and the war restarting
Stitch Blue why are you all so adamant that she must have done everything for selfish or insidious reasons. Sure she originally came to earth as a diamond trying to colonize the planet. But she fell in love with the life there and the freedom it enjoyed and realized colonization meant the destruction of said life. So she tried finding excuses to leave the planet. The other diamonds didn't listen. She grew desperate. Realizing that there were gems unhappy with their lot in life or were just rejected for being off color she devised a plan, one that would not only save the planet bit provide said off color gems a home. She figured a rebellion of gems would convince the diamonds to back off the planet. It didnt. She refused to allow the crystal gems to shatter other gems. She refused to kill. She was backed into a corner and forced into a last resort tactic, faking her death. She had no way of knowing the diamonds would go so far, be so cruel. She had posed as rose because she knew that the crystal gems hated the diamonds. It didnt matter that she wanted their freedom, she was still a diamond. So she made her final order to pearl be to keep her secret. She tried for thousands of years afterwards to reverse the damage the other diamonds had done to the gems on earth. She was a good person whose actions led to unfortunate consequences that garnet didn't even predict.
“That’s as if colored as it gets” that is priceless
I don't think pink hated jasper .
Jasper only did what she was made for...
And I think pink knew it.
But yes.... jasper deserves better
I have a few theories I would love to hear your thoughts on about the diamonds, mainly pink.
What if diamonds grow in size over time based on age or better yet based on the size of their courts?
It would explain pinks size difference in general plus her vrowth spurt from jungle moon
Vox continues to make baseless theories and treat them as fact.
Ether101 Prime you'd think he'd have learned his lesson after how he treated the rose is pd theory and its supporters. Hes just salty and all kinds of butthurt cuz he was so far off the mark that its clear he cant theorize for crap.
but he ISN`T treating them as fact
"I AM CONFUSION" best part
Woah this like just came out or something cause it says there are only 7 comments hello lol
👏👏👏 PREACH MAN 👏👏👏
When/if it's revealed to Jasper it's going to be HEART WRENCHING because of how much she worshiped Pink, and how much she hated Rose. Just o o f
How dare you Pink.
A lot of people think it was Jasper that yelled when Pearl poofed Pink (the yell that made her turn her head and show it was her). If that turns out to be the case, she must have.
I'll come back to the theories after vox gets all of his "Rose is the TRUE villain" nonsense out of his system. It just seems pandering at this point, and hardly what SU would have in store with all the characters and complex decisions.
but I still like his Rose is a Villian video ! ! ! ! !
not that I agree with everything he said ! ! ! ! !
liking the idea is fine but believing its a likely path for the show to go down is the problem. this "theory" would make a good fan fic but is very unlikely to ever be true.
I listened but didn't really agree with it. Like, that way of thinking about Rose only works if you go through the Doug Walker way of reasoning: seeing what you like and throwing away everything that seems insignificant even though it plays a part. I mean, between Rose's Scabbard and We Need To Talk alone, we have more than one side of what Rose/Pink was thinking. Otherwise it's way too presumptuous to know wha was going on in PD's mind.
It's likely more to inspire fan interest, which is cool, but the whole "ROSE IS THE TRUE VILLAIN" angle is eye roll worthy. There's SO MUCH of other diamond motivation and theory that can be explored.
Another thing...Jasper was proof that earth could be a very important place to make gems.
Rediculing all Pink had told Blue and Yellow.
4 veiws 28 likes why
I NOTICED SOMETHING. In a Sing Pale Rose, the flashback before the last one, when "Rose shatters" Pink Diamond, you can hear a 'NOOOO!' in the backround. The voice sounds very scratchy like Jasper's so yeah, Jasper was there!
Heyo
steven universe: the show that always has us feel bad about about at least 1 character.
I hear Yanny
Vox for the thumbnails do u get the same person to do the art because who ever is doing is sooo goood at it
Oooooooooo
I IMAGINE STEVEN GOING INSIDE JASPERS GEM, HEALING HER FROM CORRUPTION AND BEING SNEEZED OUT OF HER NOSE
Wow. Steven Universe fans are getting salty over your theory videos. As usual, children can't handle criticism.
or it could be as simple as the theory not making sense within the sprite of the show?
