She looks almost as big as Alexandrite.

How do we know that? The only reference is her size compare to yellow pearl and we don't know how big yellow pearl is. Blue pearl was the same size as sapphire

@other: Personally I'd be more surprised if the diamonds could be dealt with like an ordinary gem, rather than, idk, having to cast their gem into the Fires of Mount Doom to kill them than the converse.

Easiest way to figure it out is to assume Yellow Pearl is the same height as our Pearl.

Unless you're like me and subscribe to the theory that Yellow Diamond is no taller than Garnet and Yellow Pearl is just really really small.

Oh really when?

Alexandrite seems a good comparison. Think of her trying to sit at that table compared to Yellow Diamond's hand taking up most of the screen from a full-body view of Yellow Pearl.

Blue pearl was the same size as sapphire
If it ever looked like that, I'd assume that was an animation error. None of the other gems types varied that much in size except Amethyst, and demonstrating scale was the main reason Yellow Pearl was even there.

Sapphy was shorter than Blue Pearl.

[up]Yeah it was an error, a scaling fail on that scene.

[up]For blood's sake CN, give them some more time to make these eps so the scaling won't be so frustratingly confusing!

According to a short, the height of a fusion is the heights of all the fusees added together. So, assuming/approximating some heights here:

Yellow Diamond: 25 feet tall

Alexandrite: 17'1"

Sardonyx: 13'6"

Malachite: 13'2"

Sugilite: 11'1"

Opal: 9'7"

Rose Quartz: 8'

Jasper: 8'

Garnet: 7'6"

Smokey Quartz: 7'3"

Pearl: 6'

Lapis: 5'2"

Amethyst: 3'7"

Steven: 3'6"

or heights are just borked, because some of those make no sense whatsoever.

What? I don't remember that from any of the shorts, and that's also blatantly untrue for the majority of fusions, which are much bigger than that.

That statement would only be accurate in the shorts where the characters are cheeby-chibi sized.

Considering how the characters' heights aren't at all consistent except with general comparisons to each other, I can't take any definitive heights seriously.

No way Malachite was the combined height of Lapis and Jasper, Malachite is the same height as Alexandrite and Alexandrite was able to catch both of them in her hands when they were unfused.

Oissu!

Their heights seem dependent on the physical power increase, not the height of the individual Gems.

So, is it just tonight's episode and two more before another hiatus?

We have no idea. Schedules usually only go two weeks in advance, we only got the next three episodes' airdates because zap2it is weird and sometimes lists them before anyone else.

Pearl is usually shown as as tall as Greg, who himself seems average height for an adult man. So Pearl is moderately taller than an average human woman, she just looks "average" height because she's usually next to someone much taller or shorter.

Nah, Pearl's pretty consistently a couple inches taller than Greg.

Also, if Greg is average height, that would be 5'10", not 5'7".
