* Many fans, looking at the old version of the Diamond Authority symbol (four diamonds forming a bigger diamond, instead of three intersecting triangles) and a partially-seen mural at the Moonbase, theorized that there was once another Diamond Authority member called "Pink Diamond" (as the diamond missing in the modern symbols was pink), that her gem was on her navel (due to the placement of the pink diamond at the bottom of the symbol), and that she was probably killed during Rose's rebellion (since gem Gem structures dating before the rebellion have the pink diamond, whereas gem structures dating during the rebellion or afterwards have the modern symbol, and the pink diamond at the Sky Arena had been broken). It is later confirmed that Pink Diamond did exist — she was the ruler of Earth back when it was a gem colony, and Rose Quartz's rebellion was against her.

* Even before the title of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E24LegsFromHereToHomeworld "Legs From Here to Homeworld"]] was leaked by CN France, giving it away in a sense, [[https://www.deviantart.com/ladyheinstein/art/Diamond-Ship-688907032 fans correctly guessed]] that Pink's ship would be shaped as legs, and would be the pink structures seen in front of Rose's landfill, seeing as Yellow Diamond's ship was a right arm, Blue's was a left arm, and a structure showing White Diamond's head and torso is seen in "The Trial", confirmed in "Legs From Here to Homeworld" to be her ship.

** Around the time of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E2TheTrial "The Trial"]] to [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E13YourMotherAndMine "Your Mother And Mine"]] (which is when we first see a flashback of the event), people started theorizing that the person eyewitnesses saw shattering Pink Diamond was Pearl, shapeshifted to look like Rose Quartz (the trauma related to the event being why she hasn't shapeshifted since). This was confirmed to be true in "A Single Pale Rose" — though Pink Diamond was only ''apparently'' shattered, but actually only poofed.
