If they can move faster than time, doesn't matter.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.The thing about Bismuth's description of Rose's sword and Eyeball's account of Pink Diamond's shattering and focus on the sword rather than the shield is that they're specifically at odds with one another, at least tonally if not completely literally. And because this is, y'know, a consistently plotted and well-written show that clearly trusts its audience, this can't help but read as an incongruity that was put there deliberately with the intention for the audience to notice it and wonder what it means. That this is not an oversight, and indeed means something. Whatever that something is.
Was Bismuth waving poetic about the sword's incapacity of harming a Gem's gemstone? It feels doubtful to me, but it can't be discounted, of course.
Was Eyeball mistaken about what she saw, or misremembering those events? Seems more plausible, but given the gravity with which her account was given, and how neither Pearl nor Garnet denied it, it doesn't seem like it can be that simple.
Or, most controversally is Eyeball the one who is stretching the truth, with or without realizing it? Would it be possible for it to maybe not have been Rose specifically — or rather alone — who did the deed?
Like, say, a fusion with Rose as one of the components? Pearl's always been unusually flaky about this subject, even for what it is.
But that's just pure speculation, of course. It's not even concrete that this is important, no matter how it feels like it's intended to be.
The Jasper gem respected Rosey's war tactics...
She doesn't respect the use of fusion...
So fusion must not have been involved much...
Makes sense.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Maybe Jasper didn't know she was using fused gems in her army?I can see her definitely using fusions,she had Garnet for one and there were probably more gems like her
So respecting her tactics its basically sayings she was a worthy foe and doesn't outright confirm anything really.
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverThe Jasper gem seemed to recognize Garnet was a fusion on the spot...despite no indication.
There's no way to tell...maybe it was a lucky guess.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Actually I think i have an idea on how she found out.
See, out of all the depicted fusionsnote , they have one thing in common: they all have retain the gems of their components (IIRC even in the same placements), so it's possible that Jasper saw that Garnet had 2 gems and deduced she was a fusion from that. And that a gem would have only 1 um...gem unless they fused, in which the new body would have multiple gems.

That wasn't the case.
Garnet had her Gauntlets out from the moment the Hand Ship landed...and they cover her gems.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Probably, if the Rubles' ship was able to to do that and the Red Eye was built for that very purpose, it'd make sense if the more important ship was also able to do that.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I assume Garnet was a big deal what with fusing right in Blue Diamond's court and then joining the rebellion??
Forever liveblogging the Avengers@last page of discussion Rose probably shattered Pink Diamond by Ending her rightly

Again, at this point, I just want them to cut the fluff and get right to the heart of the matter. Those more Slice of Life episodes were fine when the show was just starting out, when we were still getting introduced to the characters and laying downs some worldbuilding. But now we're at the point we've more than gotten to know the characters and just how this world works, so there's no excuse not to get things moving. And sometimes it does, but other times it goes back to Beach City for 3-5 eps before we can get back to the main plot again. I do like the show, but continuing to just keep up with the fluff rather than really kick things into high gear nearly five seasons in is what's keeping me from loving it.
To be fair, I wouldn't mind them so much if they were done in moderation. 3-5 Gem episodes, 1 Beach City episode; 3-5 more Gem episodes, 1 more Beach city, etc. But rather than simply letting us catch us a breather between the Gem episodes, there are just more Beach City episodes than there need to be, in part because, like you said, they're often just so boring by comparison. If they were all the show was, that would be one thing, but why would I want more of the so-so Column B when I could have more of the much more tasty Column A? I wouldn't mind a taste of Column B to mix things up, but Column A should be the main course rather than just the appetizer, which is what it feels like half the time. Beach City eps are important to connect Steven to his humanity, sure, but just how many of them do we really need?

I'm still pulling for Lion 4 to at least give us something, because so far the plot has been kind of meh after Out of this World. The most activity this thread got about an episode in recent memory was everyone ranting on how much they hated Rocknaldo and everyone talking about how good Storm in the Room and Room for Ruby were.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I'm kind of surprised no one brought up the cannons.
@Ultimatum: I thought Bismuth's idea was to mass produce the Breaking Point?
Anyways, who cares about symbolism. Symbolism doesn't win wars!
I don't think the argument applies because the sword could become the rebellion's symbol, rather than Rose's. She already had her shield and healing tears going for her.
@thatother1dude: I don't disagree. I don't see how your argument works against my point either.
@Deaths Apprentice: I understood that as "[the sword] was made specifically to poof gems without shattering them." But, really, this
came to my mind and I'm wondering if it's reasonable or not to consider.
@Diamond is Unbreakable: I took a break from the series to watch Steven Universe and now I'm back to it. The irony was not lost on me
