Amazing to think that this pivotal event in the series happened before the Civil Rights movement, before George Washington, before Shakespeare, before the Aztec Empire. All of this rich human history occurred way after this one event that everybody is still talking about like it was last week. Imagine what a big deal it must have been at the time! The world was shaken!
We don't know that any of these things happened in the universe of Steven Universe. I don't think we even know what year the show takes place in.

Heck with Russia missing there would be no invasions there, which contributed to the fall of a couple historical leaders.

InAnOdderWay's post

I think killing off Pink Diamond had these aims

1)Denouement of the Diamond authority,Pink Diamond's death certainly freaks them out ,they now have a very serious rebellion on their hands,as well the emotional turmoil that comes from Pink's death,

2)Recruitment of leaderless gems to join the rebellion,a large number of gems probably went over to Rose's side immediately following Pink's death either because they genuinely did not like being ruled by their diamond or they saw Rose as their new leader since she was previously a high ranking gem,it could have been Pink's entire court that rebelled following her death,so Rose effectively usurped her position if that's the case

[up][up] There is NO evidence that latter happened. Even the lowest Gem in Pink's Court we've seen, Eyeball, was devastated by her death.

I'm not sure there's much anything saying "that" Ruby was PD's...

Rubies probably shouldn't be used as a litmus test for how other gems would react to something like that. They're common soldiers that aren't taught to value their own existences because there are so many of them.

We do now. "Pink Diamond was shattered right in front of her entourage." Eyeball was a direct witness, ergo she belonged in Pink Diamond's court.

Eyeball was likely a Ruby Guard, similar to how Ruby was in Blue Diamond's court in the Answer.

I just realized Garnet's name should be Emerald. Darn.

[up] Why? Red + blue = purple. If it were a Topaz and a Sapphire, that might be a Emerald.

[up][up]But an emerald is green.

I mean, maybe, she might not have originally been part of it though. She says to Amethyst while she's disguised as Jasper that she understands Jasper not wanting to talk about it, because "She was your original diamond'. That could also mean some gems that were in Pink's court, weren't originally part of it, and maybe she was one of them.

Pokémon. Garnet is made up of a Ruby and a Sapphire, aka the Gen III games. Garnet instead being Emerald would round it out.

It might be glad that we have Garnet instead of Emerald then. Cuz I don't think we'd hear the end of it if it were otherwise.

What gem do you expect next? for some reason I feel they will add a Jade, and for another reason I think it will voice by an Asian woman.
