* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: We never get to see its full form (since that would result in an EarthShatteringKaboom), but the Cluster does manifest a massive arm to fight the Diamonds. It appears incomplete, only displaying raw muscle tissue without skin, befitting its EldritchAbomination nature.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Trauma doesn't just go away because of one happy event. The Gems are feeling the aftermath of the Pink Diamond bombshell and Lapis leaving.
** An untrained, normal human going up against an unfathomable disaster is borderline TooDumbToLive. When Ronaldo dons his Gemsona armor and prepares to join the fight, he's tackled and forced to go to the evacuation shelter.
** The Cluster was scheduled to emerge months ago. After such a long delay, the Diamonds have apparently decided they're done with waiting; they travel to Earth themselves, and forcibly try to make the Cluster emerge.
** Making the Cluster from shattered Crystal Gems makes sense as a punishment tactic, and may have worked as a superweapon had its components remained scattered individual pieces. However, after being convinced to form a HiveMind by Steven and thus capable of cognitive thought, the Cluster's first reaction to waking up and seeing the Diamonds there is to punch Yellow's ship across Beach City's bay.
** Steven attempts to reason with the Diamonds with the truth of Pink Diamond. They're not exactly rational, since they're still grieving and still think Steven is Pink's murderer. Hence, their response is to lash out at him.
** Connie and Lion might be immune to Blue Diamond's EmotionBomb, but Connie's still a young girl who barely comes up to Blue's ''ankle'' with a sword that might as well be a toothpick and Lion is about the size of a kitten compared to Blue. In a physical match-up, they're hopelessly outclassed, and Blue easily takes them out while shattering Rose's sword into pieces between her fingers.
** Rose's sword is an extremely powerful weapon and, as shown in the past, ''capable'' of poofing a Diamond (something that is ''incredibly'' difficult to do). However, Pink threw her fight with Pearl to fake her death, while Blue is actively fighting back. As a result, the sword doesn't get a chance to repeat history.
** When the team's best efforts only add up to slightly displaced hair against the weaker Diamond, fighting ''two'' Diamonds at once, including the more martially inclined, is practically [[HopelessBossFight hopeless]] [[MassOhCrap and they know it]].
