"Simplified down to our basic form, Gems are, well, just gems!"
Pearl teaches the viewers about Gem bodies.
Tropes:
- Homage: The entire thing is a loving recreation of the Gunbuster Science Lessons
, from the format of the short to the art style, even the color of the background. - Never Say "Die": Pearl says that "when [a gem] is shattered completely, they will cease to be."
- Super-Deformed: The characters are all drawn in super-deformed style and the backgrounds are highly simplified.
- Tap on the Head: Garnet poofs Amethyst via tapping her on the head. She attempts to do it again using one of her gauntlets, but Amethyst dodges.
- The Unreveal: 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... 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.)
