* DubNameChange: In Latin America, all the gems names are changed to their faithful translations in Spanish (Pearl to Perla, Amathist to Amatista, Yellow Diamond to Diamante Amarillo, etc) with the exception of Garnet and Peridot. There is an [[InconsistentDub inconsistency]] with Pink Diamond name, as it varies between Diamante Rosa and Diamante Rosado, both correct regardless. The name of the group, the Crystal Gems, is only translated in the opening song as "las Gemas de Cristal" and the song "Who we are" of the [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie movie]], but it remains unchanged in the show.

* CentralTheme:
** Most episodes tend to converge on themes of mixing magic with reality, accepting or embracing imperfection, and/or finding beauty in the ugly. Rebecca describes the show as "reverse-escapism," where magical beings are fascinated with the mundane. Steven is the epitome of the magic-and-reality theme, as he is half-human (normal) and half Crystal Gem (magic). A standard way they mix magic with reality is solving a magic problem a "mundane" way, like Steven using a glow bracelet (normal/mundane) to lure a worm gem monster (magic) to its death, or using standard household duct-tape to patch up an enormous geode that's about to "leak" out a devastating magical storm.
** The PowerOfLove and [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship]], and how relationships, though difficult to manage, make people stronger.
** Putting in all your effort in everything you do and making contributions for people, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant it is.

** [[spoiler: Blue Diamond]] as well, to an extent. [[spoiler: Compared to Yellow she is substantially easier to talk to (even having a heart-to-heart conversation with lesser lifeform Greg in her introduction) and has shown herself to be fairly open-minded on several occasions. That being said, she is still a diamond with all the conquest and slavery that entails. A few lines of dialogue in the movie even imply that she might have been in charge of inacting punishments within their empire, which would of course include countless shatterings during her [[TimeAbyss long life.]]]]
** [[spoiler: Pink Diamond]] would also fall here before her time on Earth changed her perspective on everything. [[spoiler: Given that her old role was to arrange parties and lift the spirits of the other diamonds it's probably fair to say that she was always a nice individual, but she also didn't seem to see those beneath her in the heirarchy as anything other than amusements and annoyances.]] This is perfectly illustrated in the movie [[spoiler: where she left Spinell alone and slowly going insane for 6,000 years purely because she had become bored with their games.]]
