There's another possibility for the corruption. It was the result of Rose's shield interacting with the attack at ground zero.

White Daimond intentionally doing the corruption without Blue and Yellow not knowing doesn't make much sense. For one thing, why would Blue and Yellow even care?

It would have felt kind of awkward to use gifts from somebody you then had to lock up for attempting to kill a child
Amethyst did use hers after "Bismuth"... once.

Maybe it's a maintenance issue—regular use wore down or deformed the attachments, and without Bismuth they didn't know how to repair them.

It makes me wonder if Yellow would actually be more dangerous if she fought the cluster herself. Her lighting can one-shot any gem right?
One imagines the necessary exertion is commensurate to the gem's size. Even the arm the Cluster made was literally millions of times the size of most gems (maybe even the diamonds).

More to the point, you'd think she'd have popped out and used it before her ship was destroyed.


Speaking of the ships, I wonder the implication of them being destroyed.

In the short term, how are they gonna get around? The preview shows them at the old gem ship in South America, but gives no idea how.

Long term, and regardless of how things work out between them and the Crystal Gems, they're gonna have to leave Earth. Repair the Galaxy Warp? Repair Pink's arm ship? Use what still works in the wrecked ships (or the Sun Incinerator) to call Homeworld for help?

For all we know, the Diamonds can just think them into existence.

I think if she had hit with electricity blasts that would agitated further and suddenly she's fighting two arms and possibly the rest of it's body,arm wrestling with her ship was probably the only to subdue it,she succeeded,if at the cost of their ships

Pink can fly / float. Maybe Yellow and Blue can too?

There's probably some abilities from them we haven't seen for sure. Pink had a whole kit of powers. It'd be weird if the couple we've seen from Blue and Yellow were their only ones.

Begs the question why we didn't get to see them get used, but they could have happened off screen while Steven was in the mental world.

I mean, just because you have a lot of powers doesn't mean they're all going to be useful in a fight.

Probably because they wanted to show off the powers of Diamonds while balancing with everything else going on,and there just was'nt the time to have all their abilities displayed

Plant manipulation, tears that heal and revive others while giving them powers and access to a pocket dimension, floating, Dream Walking and Telekinesis, a big-ass shield and creating a protection bubble.

It's weird that for a diamond, Pink had a lot of powers that only work on organics

I was mostly just getting the question out the way, because I expected "Why didn't we see them use them then?" to be the first thing people would point out against it.

We already saw Yellow Diamond sprint, but even at that pace it'd take days to reach South America—and that's putting aside how much panic she'd cause running through human cities.

Oh, maybe Lion can make a slightly bigger portal that they can fall in longways.

How fast was she sprinting...

I would try remembering, but it looks really slow...

A little detail I saw pointed out about the preview is that the way Pearl is holding her hands is the way Pearls (herself included) hold their hands when they're in front of Diamonds.

I assumed they just used the warp pads.

The broken ceiling mean there isn't anything getting in their way, but they couldn't fit a whole foot on the warp pad.

I mean unless they shapeshift smaller. Which they probably can do, but won't want to.

Making themselves smaller would probably be seen, at least by Yellow, as making themselves less significant.

I remembered that joke that there were only ten wedding invitations to send, and decided to count.

Take the attendees, subtracts the ones that were part of the ceremony or that lived in Steven's house (i.e. Lion, Pumpkin, and Cat Steven), group together the families (and Nanefua's guards), and you get nine: Andy, the Millers, the Frymans, Mr. Smiley, Jamie, the Maheswarans, Onion's family, the Pizzas, and the Deweys.

I'm wonder if they miscounted (or did I?) or if the tenth was for Lars and the Off Colors, even if their chances of making it to Earth by the wedding were slim.

Is the Love Like You Reprise really supposed to be a part of the other credit music?

[up]Yes. "Love Like Your (Reprise)" actually seems to be the name for the whole song, together.

(I posted this earlier, but totally didn't get that's what she meant.)

Ah! Didn't expect that.

As a side note. I wanted to add "Love Like You (Reprise)" to the Dark Reprise page. But while writing the entry I realized that it depended a lot on the interpretation that the song is from Rose's perspective. It's incredibly heavily implied at this point, but is it still too speculative to put in the trope entry?
