No spoiler markup in Recap. Anything that needs it (spoiling later episodes should be left off.)


** This would be answered in the season 5 episode "Change Your Mind" where Steven's gem [[spoiler:gets removed and it's strongly implied that he came very close to dying]].
** It would be further answered in the ''Steven Universe Future'' episode, "Growing Pains", with Steven's first visit to a doctor. [[spoiler: Turns out Steven isn't actually NighInvulnerable -- his Gem powers just put him back together ''really'' quickly. Pretty much every bone in Steven's body has been broken at least once by that time, to the point his X-ray looks like a completed jigsaw puzzle.]]

* TheUnreveal: Steven asks what happens if a half-human Gem is injured. However he phrases it as "What if a gem is half human?", so Pearl claims that the answer is... [[MathematiciansAnswer Steven himself.]] (Fans have often wondered if Steven can be 'poofed' like other gems, retreating into his gem if injured. Apparently, today's not the day we learn the answer.)

Don't put spoilers from future episodes in recaps. And no, it's still a euphemism—"ceases to be" is an even less accurate description with the cluster gems in mind.


* NeverSayDie: Pearl says that "when [a gem] is shattered completely, they will cease to be." [[spoiler: It's later confirmed that this phrasing is fully justified and ''very'' specific: the shattered remains can be forcibly fused into mindless Cluster Gems.]]

* NeverSayDie: Two instances:
** The first is when Pearl says that "when [a gem] is shattered completely, they will cease to be."
** The second is when Pearl dodges Steven's question of what will happen when he would need to regenerate. This is less censorship and more of Pearl legitimately not knowing what would happen. Fortunately, WordOfGod has answered what would happen if Steven got poofed:
-->'''[[https://twitter.com/mcburnett/status/614483780812705792 Matt Burnett:]]''' Dead forever.
