STEVEN UNIVERSE Episode 25 & 26 REACTION! | Mirror Gem & Ocean Gem

[@ProjectSenpai]

WOW! THIS SHOW IS TRULY SPECIAL! 🙌❤️

[@FloatingAmongTheCosmos]

Shit is revving up truly now. The real set of eps begins now!

[@maialajossefina.3261]

It IIIs

[@wtimmins]

It’s funny, because it starts off as a pretty light episodic show… or so it seems. And then stuff moves in the depths…

[@tequilalong4345]

Lapis lazuli is a blue silicate mineral in the sodalite group. It contains a blend of sodium, calcium, silica, and aluminum, plus sulfur atoms. In real life she's not a water gem like pearls and corals.

[@Azuredock7912]

I know this is a little late but these episodes is when Steven’s voice gets to how it is in the rest of the series(Besides Future of course). If you go back to the previous episodes you will notice that he sounds way different

[@baileyross8279]

Lapis Lazuli has one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful story lines. She's one of my fav characters

[@burnburnfirefire]

Agreed. I like how she mirrored the crystal gems with water; it's themed well after her character since the mirror played a major part in her life, and so she was still mirroring what she saw.

[@ProfessorNikusaFabelwood]

Yea but she's kinda a ell you know what I mean... For most of the series like seriously just think of it

[@burnburnfirefire]

@@ProfessorNikusaFabelwood True but we're talking about season 1

[@ProfessorNikusaFabelwood]

@@burnburnfirefire if you are talking about season 1,yes I agree with that

[@pauline_f328]

I used to not like her, but I think it's because I didn't really understand just how much past events had affected her. Once I rewatched the show once I was a tad older and more prone to analyzing things I started liking her a lot

[@BradTheProducer]

These episodes were the tipping point where everyone realized there was something far darker and bigger about this show than just Magic Fun Adventures for Kids™.

[@Peridot5xg]

*[Ocean and Mirror Gem were really exciting mid-season finale episodes. Now... the real fun begins...]*

[@kelthusad9411]

1:27 Yes steven, *YOU* *ARE* *INCREDIBLY* *IMPORTANT* *TO* *THE* *GEM* *CULTURE*

[@tsukimilo]

Let's put a pin to this and see where it takes us

[@christietaylor3599]

*evil laughter*

[@EmpressAlligator]

OK SO- these 2 episodes are what absolutely roped me into this show. The story is just now starting to unfurl, and I'm so excited to see more reactions!

[@ParadoxFreak]

Honestly, this show is so full of great characters it’s hard to pick one. Lapis Lazuli is definitely a gem!

[@pauline_f328]

Lmfao

[@midoriya-shonen]

The face the gems make when they realize Lapis is sentient and they've been committing war crimes against her for eons is genuinely horrifying. And these are characters we're undeniably supposed to like, too. The moral complexity of Steven Universe is amazing.

[@migs192]

The way the gems form their bodies is always soooooo cool to watch! Especially in slow motion

[@cbertain1]

You guys are really going to like the rest of this series. There is so much foreshadowing that at the end of every episode you can't help but want more.

[@christietaylor3599]

Not just at the end, all through each episode there are foreshadowing phrases and backgrounds. Howdy, I hate fighting myself. (And these aren't even spoilers, because the way they manifest later is just so unpredictable)

[@Sentanette]

@@christietaylor3599 they said *That* at the end of every episode

[@artemisneomenia]

these episodes were so good since they open the opportunity for new gems to interact with the crystal gems :D

[@Noveler00]

These 2 episodes were going to be the original series end before they got greenlit for more. Now its just the season 1 halfway point

[@danielouellette1258]

Lapis is my favorite bc her design is awesome and she’s a great character

[@lapizlapoppy]

Lapis Lazuli is my favorite character. She's the one that inspired my IGN and usernames "Lapiz". She's such a complex character and I think the show could've utilized her so much more.

[@alejandromondragon2371]

IT BEGINS!!!

[@baraxor]

Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem are the mid-season one finales stories, but they were also to serve as the series finale in case SU was cancelled abruptly in the middle of its first season...a distinct possibility considering the show's slow world building and lack of stand-alone episodes. Before these episodes, SU kind of flew under the radar, with most of its fanbase coming from Adventure Time fans who were curious about a series created by Rebecca Sugar, who had been a major contributor to Pendleton Ward's series. After Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem word started to get around to encourage others to get into SU, with a big explosion of interest after the season one finale. So now we know that the bubbled gemstones within the Crystal Temple, and the monsters still at large outside of it, were once sapient Gem beings like Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Rose Quartz. You might recall how when Centipeetle was accidentally released she briefly formed a normal humanoid shape. More lore a'comin'!

[@gorux]

Always interesting info about each and every SU episode, I'm constantly looking for your comment over many reactors channels... I mean, thank you!

[@panchorios63]

Exactly I was around 10 when this show had came out. I’m about to be 21, crazy how fast time passed. I thought this show was weird and would skip the channel when this show came on. I remember not being able to find anything good to watch and there’s been times I would watch a couple of SU episodes. Mirror gem, and Ocean gem is what really made me start liking this show. Crazy since I became one of the biggest fan of this show since.

[@lucasoliver2571]

We're finally here boys!

[@nicoleviper4090]

Ahhhh Thx so much for uploading this, Mirror Gem is my fave episode form season 1, I love Lapis so much and I loved you guys reaction to her.

[@jaxcraft2848]

Meet Lapis

[@haha-lj5sq]

LMAO the foreshadowing! “I must be incredibly important to gem culture”

[@christietaylor3599]

You two are in for an amazing ride. It just gets better and better. Cannot wait till you see Garnetts true colours.

[@Potkanka]

I love the show so much but I've only watched it in full once so it's really fun to watch it here and notice all the foreshadowing! These two episodes really were where the world started growing... bigger. Well, much bigger than before.

[@thaugjalet8544]

She so gorgeous and she my fav too

[@Brickpit3737]

Lapis Lazuli has one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking story lines from the show.

[@melodyissleepy]

I can’t wait til you guys get to episode 36, this show has a lot of lore, and its amazing.

[@Swcher]

I never realized the pun of water wings

[@arturoherrera4467]

Fun fact, the end of this episode was a provisional ending to the show in case it wasn't renewed for more episodes/seasons

[@Beatz110]

You've finally seen something else besides Steven's Daily life!

[@Axetwin]

Episode 25 is when things start to kick off. It's when the writers stopped getting you used to the rules and setting the groundwork and started actually building towards something.

[@scrunglee]

Oh, how I've waited for this episode.

[@pokapoka-r4m]

Okeeey, every time I see reactions to these episodes, I scream with joy

[@themostepic0162]

It happened! Get ready because it gets quiet and then ready intense again

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

I have so much to say, but also so little because spoilers spoilers spoilers. I'll contain my excitement. But man, these two episodes are amazing. Finding out the monsters are also gems, that there are more gems (besides pearl, garnet, amethyst and rose), that Lapis' home is not on earth? AAAAhhh good stuff

[@AnnMegFair]

Ohhh the universe just got a whole lot bigger - pun intended. Experiencing this story again through you guys is so exciting. Such a fantastic show.

[@bmoak]

This is the huge turning point of the series.

[@TorchesUponStars]

Love the “No prob, Bob” that Steven gives.

[@vice166]

wait steven called lapis bob in this ep, so that's where she got it from lol

[@gorux]

Yeah! Just like this one, this show has many subtle callbacks and foreshadowing! Like the murals of gem built places revealing characters from the last arc or pearl covering her mouth with her hands when unable to answer about certain topics…

[@Viclee93]

This show is just about to get so so good. I really hope ya’ll stay away from spoilers. The season finale is top tier.

[@MindYourBusiness23282]

Steven literally knows the BARE MINIMUM about the crystal gems if even that 😂

[@bmoak]

If you carefully at what the withdrawn ocean reveals around Beach City, you can see some interesting things...

[@RanticProductions]

Buckle up because Steven Universe is the longest of long games when it comes to the main arc

[@AGO339]

i love that this is like the midpoint of season 1 like season 1 is as long as two seasons, the first half starts everything off, setting in main setting, characters, the verry basics of gems (being made off light, what happens when they poof, their ability to fuse, their constant missions for dangerous artifacts or hunting monsters), then these two episodes kick off the connecting of dots from here on this season all the clues and information proided so far starts being meshed with new facts about gems and earth and such, as we kind of connect everything like a detective's yarn and cork bored. and thats not to say there arnt MORE mysteries past this season just this season takes a very fulfilling long brought to fully set everything into place so the next 4 seasons can be more story oriented and episodic (not that filler and random hijink episodes stop)

[@Ryusola]

Okay this is where the plot rollercoaster starts, strap in

[@maxmayfire9958]

I honestly love Lapis’ design!

[@NorthMountainFairy]

Oh, you’ll see Lapis again. Her story is quite something. And she is not one to be trifled with as a future antagonist will woefully discover.

[@shaburesasa7952]

finaallyyyyy

[@KermitDominicano]

Im so excited for you guys to see the rest omg

[@ALK82]

Hell yeah let's go!

[@ace-of-teacups]

Lapis Lazuliiii /singing

[@gorux]

You fled into the bottom of the seeeeaaa!

[@AGO339]

30% spoiler-y opinion: in hindsight i get why the chrystal gems were scared that there was a living gem in the mirror but to this day it doesnt feel like they ever fully justified their reasonings fohow they react when they realize theirs a conscious gem trapped in the mirror, although we learn from context later in grander schemes. like its the one thing I've never fully forgiven, them being unwilling to give the mirror gem a chance. like for all they knew it was another like minded gem when it was trapped. they knew they didnt trap her in it!

[@Радужноглазка]

OMGg LAPIIS I LOVE LAPIS IT IS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER LAAAPIIIS LAZULI!!!!!!!!

[@kingofrivia1248]

Lapis always had been and always will be my favorite. God damn precious cynical biatchhhhh.

[@lorbmithril9340]

please post faster, i wanna see your reaction to important parts like this lmao!

[@gorux]

I second this! One reaction each hour should suffice

[@teshaunmills3323]
