Isn't there a long-standing theory that Rose is Pink Diamond? Or has that been debunked by now and I forgot?
I guess even in that case, if Rose stopped using that name, then in a way you could still say Pink Diamond is out of the picture.
she her hers hOI!!! i'm tempe
Personally, I find "Lion is really a corrupted Pink Diamond" a more believable theory
I can see Yellow Diamond bringing out the weapon again once she finds out that the Cluster didn't destroy the Earth.
I wonder if they need all three Diamonds to pull that off, though. I still think White Diamond is that thing from "Serious Steven", so I'm not sure if we'll see it again if that's the case.
Actually, if that is White Diamond, I wonder how she got stuck on Earth. Maybe she was fighting Rose or something, then Yellow Diamond ordered the retreat (maybe to seize power?), and White Diamond was stranded like Centi.

Oh God! Natural light!You know that makes me think of something. We know Lapis wasn't corrupted, because she was in the mirror right? So the corruption boom only affects gems that are currently formed. So then, what about gems like the sand glass, the heaven and earth beetles, and that diamond shaped gem in Serious Steven? How are we sure those are corrupted gems? Maybe they were all placed in objects before the corruption happened?
(He could talk to the Cluster anway, he doesn't need dreamwalking.)
On the one hand, the Crystal Gems were still there — or, at least four of them were. Given that "Rose Quartz and her terrifying renegade Pearl" were The Dreaded already, four might have been enough to stop them.
On the other hand, they don't seem to have known this. So that probably wasn't the actual reason.
Maybe they were waiting for the vicious gem monsters to wipe each other out, leaving only the calm ones — Centipeedle's crew were left totally alone since their corruption and seemed docile enough anyway.
... Wait, when did the Cluster get installed, anyway? It was a plan B sort of thing, so it couldn't have been too far in advance. Maybe they finished it just before launching the corruption wave?

2) Because they don't want any gems to return and defect after rediscovering the history they want to erase.
Either way It's the Only Way to Be Sure.

The corruption wave only works against Gems. The Cluster would be large enough to rip a planet apart. Not just Earth, but any planet that the Diamonds sicced it on. I don't know what circumstances there are that would make the Cluster preferable to using the corruption wave, but those are the differences.
They weren't in the entrance to the ship, they can probably travel through the ship...
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.So do you think it's safe to assume that Centi was on Homeworld's side in the war? She was only seen reporting to YD (at least I think that was YD) and the Crystal Gems don't know anything about her until they read what she wrote. If that was the case, the CG's were probably too sympathetic, given how much she's suffered, to be mad at her for fighting for Homeworld

I'm thinking that the Cluster wasn't really supposed to wipe out the rebellion (its growth took thousands of years, after all), but rather a weapon to be hatched and then used.
I would presume that the Cluster's incubation made Earth unsuitable for further harvesting.

That does seem to be the case. I love how we're getting all these pieces of the story - we saw Lapis' POV of Homeworld's retreat from Earth, now we're getting Centi's.
