Rose Quartz IS Pink Diamond (Revisited)- Steven Universe Theory

It's been a long time since this theory has been popular, but the episode Jungle Moon from the Steven Universe Stranded special has once again brought the thought about Rose being Pink Diamond into many people's minds. Ever since we knew diamonds were a thing in this show, there have been people claiming that Rose may, in fact, be Pink Diamond. But surely, now that we finally saw Pink Diamond, there is no way that this could be the case! Actually... it is quite the opposite. This new episode actually sparked more debate about this theory than I have seen in quite a long time.
So, what gives? Well, with the death of some evidence supporting this theory brought rise to some more. Watch the full video to see what I mean, as it is quite interesting when all the evidence is pieced together in a single video.

In hindsight, when Pearl sang, "you do it for her/that is to say you'll do it for him," she was fully aware that Steven was PD & that adds a whole other level of context & sadness to Pearl's relationship with Rose/Pink Diamond/Steven. No wonder she's so good at compartmentalizing.

you're right rose is pink! Edit: that explains why steven is so powerful because she is pink! Edit: i think all rose quartz is not a diamond i think pink disguised herself to be a rose quartz

[@charaviolet8172]

Okay, you didn't point out the biggest part of the new age Rose Diamond theory: Steven's possession powers. Steven has the power to possess other people through his sleep, considering all of Steven's powers, we have to assume Rose Quartz also had this power, but maybe worked in a slightly different way. The theory goes that, after gaining the Earth as her colony, Pink fell in love with the Earth and it's life forms, and didn't want to destroy it, but after working so much to gain a single colony, she couldn't just ask the other diamonds "hey uhhh I don't want this one I want another colony". She tried making a human Zoo to preserve the human race, but eventually decided to use her possession powers to possess the body of a random Rose Quartz gem, and pretend that she was just a regular Quartz that went rogue and started a rebellion against the diamonds. After a long time, she realized that the war was going nowhere and there was only one solution to this: to end her own life as a Diamond. Pink managed to control both her own body and Rose's, and planned her own assassination. After that, she forever lived on as Rose Quartz. (until steven was born, I guess) The only real problem I've seen people mention about this theory is that she'd need to go to sleep to possess Rose's body, but considering how most of Steven's powers are activated in a different, more "human" way from Rose's, I believe the sleep is just a Steven thing and Rose could do it at will. If anyone has any questions, reply to this post and I'll answer them! :>

[@minnienish]

but how could pink still have their powers in a rose quartz body?

[@charaviolet8172]

I have two theories about this: 1. When she possesses a gem, all her powers are transferred to the possessed gem until said gem stops being possessed. 2. When Pink was shattered, all her powers were transferred to the Rose Quartz. This one's less likely because while the Strawberry Battlefield battle _could've_ been after Pink's shattering, I personally don't think it is.

[@minnienish]

i have another thing to add to support this theory, even though i don't personally think it's true. since steven has to be asleep to use his possession powers, we'll assume rose did as well. there's a possibility that when rose supposedly shattered pink, pink was asleep, since as far as we know, it doesn't make sense for a rose quartz soldier to just be able to shatter a diamond, unless they were in a vulnerable state. so it's possible that pink DID possess rose quartz and shattered herself while she was sleeping.

[@SuperSwordman1]

Thank you for bringing this up. Everyone says "Oh Rose can't be Pink Diamond. Different gems". But completly disregard the possibility that Rose/Pink had Steven's possession powers. One person even said "Yeah but Steven uses it when he's asleep. Gems don't sleep". 1) Technically they can. Amethyst does all the time. 2) Sleeping's just how STEVEN does it. Rose had healing tears not healing spit so who knows how different his powers are from hers, 3) Sleeping could simply be how Steven uses the powers right NOW. If the power is based around the user being in a completely calm state of mind, it's possible that Pink/Rose used it while going into a trance, not by sleeping.

[@guilhermerafaelzimermann4196]

Considering the fact gems such as peridot dont have nearly as many powers as an era 1 version for example, that shows that the resources present dictate how powerful a gem can be, so i highly doubt a rose has the ability to gain the powers of a diamond simply by being possessed by said diamond, just like steven didnt seem to use his powers while in Lar's body

[@AruvaChan]

What if Steven doesn’t have rose’s gem? Everyone kept asking if rose was pink diamond but no one ever stopped to ask what if Steven is pink diamond? It would explain why he had such a huge connection to the diamonds and all of these rapidly growing powers! (My crack theory lol)

[@misteridiot]

AruvaChan Just used her gem as a pseudo egg to pass on life? Like rewriting s hard drive?

[@AruvaChan]

misteridiot maybe, maybe it was pink diamonds wish to be human, not rose!

[@whit9172]

But he has Rose's abilities specifically.

[@AruvaChan]

Whit DoesStuff it could also be pinks ability’s

[@whit9172]

AruvaChan It's Rose's signature shield that counteracts that problem. Also, Steven has to have Rose's gem considering he can open her room.

[@CartoonUniverse]

Yep, that was the point of this one for sure! Thank you for understanding :D

[@Alo-gp7mk]

Oh of course! I think it's very (I can't seem to find the right word) honourable(?) for you to come back to this theory and analyze all the new info and try to come up with a possible way Rose Quartz could be pink diamond. The shape of her gem part was incredibly clever and I never thought of that since we've never seen all of Steven's gem.

[@topaz9655]

Alo2500 see i would agree with this theory if it wasn't for a crewniverse's tweet that said "she is a Rose QUARTZ" basically saying a rose quartz is not a pink diamond. Or maybe they pullin a "Garnet is not a fusion" just to trick us but i highly doubt Rose Quartz is Pink Diamond

[@Alo-gp7mk]

Oh I'm not saying I agree with the theory. But I don't disagree with it either, and the crewniverse saying Rose is a Rose QUARTZ was also a reason I didn't believe in this theory. But after watching the video, I'm open to the possibility of Rose Quartz being Pink Diamond. I don't necessarily believe in the theory, but I don't not believe in it either (if that makes any sense)

[@topaz9655]

[@DiamondSparklz61]

Most of us wanted it. Some of us thought it would happen. Your not special bro. No one is. At least about this. LMAO

[@blacksesamecandies]

One reason I've kept this theory in mind is because of the evidence for it. Infact, it seems there is more for it then against it IMO, with most contradictions against it not holding up. I.E, Pink Diamond was this perfect god-like being but was somehow able to be shattered. OR that Pink Diamond was a tyrant monster - but the humans kept in her zoo are in paradise to the point they don't even understand what pain is. We get the small pink diamond nods on various gems/fusions and even just everyday Steven clothes/outfits. We have Steven unlocking Diamond control panels... twice. We have Steven able to make functioning loyal armies (watermelons), then command them to live their own lives (sound familiar?). Not to mention every royalty reference (which is probably a Diamond reference). Steven's watermelon crown, his birthday crown/cape, having a pet lion, having a knight (Connie/Pearl), kneeling in respect (Pearl,Lars,Lion,Connie).Not to mention all the crazy powers, healing organic/non organic, mind-control/reading, emphatic/psychic powers, insanely powerful shields, time/space warping (ala Lion), oh yeah and being a full fledged necromancer. I think people don't often consider what it means if this theory is true though.. If RQ is PD, then in essence Steven =PD, which means the Earth is Steven's colony. If RQ =PD, that means Steven has a say in what the Diamond Authority does and can negotiate on a level others cannot. We know Steven likes to talk things out. If RQ=PD, then that means the salvation of humans,earth and organic life will be preserved and The Diamond Authority is less likely to take over planets teeming with life - again if Steven has any say in it. If RQ=PD, Steven is probably even more powerful then we thought and the "programming" to be a leader obviously follows in RQ and Steven; we also know Steven will be able to rally an army with ease. This would be helpful if there is another war on the horizon. If RQ=PD, Steven can probably make new gems too - or at least heal any that are hurt. If RQ=PD, Steven will be capable of working on a galactic (perhaps universal, heh- get it?) scale with other gem colonies and/or aliens. And most importantly If RQ=PD, Steven can lead the charge in a revolution to change the cast system for gem-homeworld and help advance mankind, bridging the species in peace and harmony - while defending them from any interstellar threats.

[@lucasmartinez5703]

I agree that from a narrative perspective Rose being Pink Diamond has serious potential that could greatly impact Steven's character.

[@tylerian4648]

If RQ=PD, then Jasper can have a loyalty powered swap to the Crystal Games side.

[@garthor]

I like your nod to the fact that Steven is royalty... it seems to me that the people that make steven universe put a lot of thought into the names they picked for their characters, and from behindthename.com; Steven traces back to a biblical name meaning "Crown" or "That which surrounds".

[@zackmatthew9224]

Well since the crew had said that Rose isn't Pink Diamond. And after watching Jungle Moon.. Stevonnie dreamt a memories, where him/she being Pink Diamond. A lot of theory saying Rose is Pink. Because Steven who have Rose gem is having Pink's memory. My theory is, during one time of Pink colonizing earth. Pink did something no Diamond had done. She fused. With a gem. Rose Quartz, Steven's mom.. And during her fusion, they share everything. Memories included. So this dream Steven had on Jungle Moonbase was a subconcious memory, Rose got when she was fused wt Pink before. Rose probably wont remember much of Pink memories after unfuse. But the memory remain in subconcious mind... And when Steven was at the Yellow Diamond Jungle Moonbase, maybe the subconcious memory recognize the place. And form a dream memory. Why this memory? Well maybe because its a memory where Pink strong emotion is attached to. She was quite very angry when Yellow dismissed her. And she even break a glass. Why did Pink Diamond fuse with Rose... maybe an accident... or to understand more of Rose intention etc. Or maybe Pink loved Rose...her favourite gem.

[@icedragonaftermath]

That actually would make a lot of sense. After all, gems do share many of their thoughts and experiences while fused. That said, there are clear limitations given Pearl was able to keep a secret from Garnet when they fused into Sardonyx. That said, maybe fusing with a Diamond is fundamentally different from fusing with another Gem because of how overpowering the experience is. Maybe Pink Diamond chose to give her those memories. Maybe Rose took them for some reason. Hopefully we'll find out soon.

[@irok1]

The idea of Pink fusing with Rose is actually a great one, I’ve never heard of it before. Especially about the debates going along at that time about cross gem fusing...that would be pretty cool.

[@Zelink108]

Zack Matthew “The crew had said that Rose isn’t Pink Diamond” Uh, source please? Do you have any confirmation of this? Otherwise we can keep speculating.

[@AscendtionArc]

Although I hope your wrong, I must congratulate you for finding a way to sink this new evidence without inventing a new power that cause Steven to randomly hijack Diamond brains from anywhere in the universe. I love this theory, because of how it explains all the contractions we are told about Rose and her behaviour, as well as the inevitable reveal it would cause, but it seems so unpopular that nearly everyone is scrabbling for crazy ideas to make the experience not be a memory from Steven; I've even heard people suggesting that since Steven talked to the Cluster (which was alive, even if it was an artificial Frankenstein) he has universe wide necropathy. Your idea at least accepts Steven is the source and fusing with a diamond would still be a great way to explain how Rose became the first non-diamond to ever disobey them; although I still love the dilemma of not being able to order people to be free.

[@zackmatthew9224]

Hmm dont remember where exactly I've seen it but the screenshot of the Universecrew saying it did spread at one point in the past at twitter I think... it spread all the way to tumblr... I think it was after the season where Peridot lived at the barn and before they get into the cluster this theory was spread out... after the moon base

When pink shattered the glass there was a reflection of herself which is a hint that she 'shattered herself'

[@bobvella7228]

i'm into the theory, faked her death and used/held a transformation to rotate the gem to look like a rose quarts.

[@ZONE-fj8ly]

Or her subconsciousness reside in her gemstone, same way how Steven entered the watermelon stevens.

[@baraxor]

Rose Quartz's center cut is in the form of a pentagon. Pink Diamond's appears to be that of a hexagon.

[@ZONE-fj8ly]

+Justin X, There is a possibility that Rose could have a pocket dimension the same as Pearl. But then again, Pink Diamond's gem wouldn't be attached to Steven to experience her memories.

[@bobvella7228]

i think you misunderstood. amethyst shape-shifts all the time, i'm just thinking that could be used to rotate that navel rock.

[@ZONE-fj8ly]

+bob vella, Yes but the problem with that theory is that if it rotates it would be a hexagon while Rose's gemstone cut is a pentagon.

[@fireworkbutterfly]

What if pink diamond isn’t a real diamond. Maybe she’s a cubic zirconium aka a fake diamond.

[@jamilahs5650]

Now that would be a plot twist!

[@knowdaqueen177]

That would explain how she got shattered

[@myachi_art]

*This should be a theory!*

[@fireworkbutterfly]

Actually, the reason I say this is because her cut is not the same as the other diamonds and every gem showed so far of the same kind of gem has the same cut even overcooked ones. So since pink diamond has a different cut she must be a different gem and the closest gem is Cubic Zicronium which was artificially made to be like diamonds.

[@kingescanoriel473]

Wow u are right she faked her death fck the idiots who told that this theory is wrong

[@mlplovelygirl]

HOW

[@xoxxes1869]

Rose lS 100 percent pink diamond

[@inhumanvoid8929]

It's the truth

[@nadezhdakeniya1528]

Another possibility that Rose could be kinda pink Diamond. You know how Steven has a power that has been highlighted throughout the series but never really been explained? The power to possesses living things. As you know Rose has many powers that only _she_ has, like healing. So what if she has those powers cause Rose is none other than Pink Diamond possessing Rose Quartz!!! Hear me out. It would still fit Rose's motif of being special because she chose to rebel, cause Pink Diamond still rejected her role. It would make sense of her gem being still bubbled in the temple, cause she can't possess anyone if she is shattered. It would explain why the Rose shattering with a sword thing does not make sense. Cause *Pink faked her own death* so she can focus on the rebellion. Plus if you watch the dream sequence and a Rose episode, (like Greg the babysitter) *Rose and Pink act and speak in a really similar way*, Rose even punched the controls when she was angry, just like Pink (this could be because Gems act like the diamonds they are made for, but still). There is also other points but this comment is already getting too long. Thanks for reading!!!

Art With KODA I wanna agree with this theory but gems don't understand the concept of age, they just come out, *POP* right out the ground

Amanda1482x that's a good theory too ^__^ I could see that! ♡

Amanda1482x and when stevonnie experienced that from pinks point of view they were literally that small compared to yellow. Connie probably feels the same for Mrs. Mahaeshorn; never getting a word in edgewise.

[@Zelink108]

Alex Christian Then how do you explain the cracked window that Pink cracked that was the same size as Stevonie?

[@knowdaqueen177]

[@aoidesu7876]

Your theory is correct

[@cdmay4]

I think there's too much evidence against pink diamond and Rose Quartz being the same but I do think that somehow, Steven has a stronger connection to pink diamond than anyone thinks, especially since if you go back and rewatch episodes, there's for shadowing in the art for pink diamond and Steven's eyes often switch between stars and diamonds when he gets excited. I also think the eyes turning to diamonds in the dream wasn't a coincidence. I don't know what it would take for this connection to be made though.

[@skakee10]

I personally think rose quartz was particularly really close to pink and since they were close pink somehow bestowed some of her powers onto rose, hence why she has more powers than any other gem in the show and her resurrection powers make people share pinks color scheme

[@StarSlinger2]

But what evidence do we really have? They look different? Regular Gems can shape-shift, who knows what a Diamond can do? We have a hearsay accounts that Pink Diamond being shattered by Roses's sword, which we know is impossible, and the account of the shattering makes no sense to anyone who actually pays attention to the details and not just take everything at face value. Also, do we really think that a "common" gem soldier like a rose quartz can resurrect and re-engineer life at will? Rose's power scope seems way higher than anything else we have seen. There must be a reason for that.

[@yazoosamv4784]

lol u thought

[@jilliancrawford7577]

If I may point out, although this theory did cover the idea of angles of the gem and how the body forms around it, it still doesn't explain one small thing; Rose's gem is smaller overall than Pink's. No matter what angle you could rotate Pink's gem, it's still too big to be Rose's gem. If Pink's gem was somehow shrunk to be Rose's size, as far as I know, the only way to do that would be polishing and shaping to the point of what I assume would be the equivalent of shattering. It may not result the same way, but I'm sure it would have a similar effect if you are removing parts of a gem to make it smaller.

[@raylee6965]

a gem lobotomy of sorts? that could work.

[@raylee6965]

as a term to describe it i mean lol

[@mortalanonymous9338]

Rose's is also a completely different shade of pink. Much darker and more saturated. Totally different stone.

[@garthor]

I think Rose's just looks smaller because Rose is so much bigger than Pink... >_> Its an optical illusion of sorts... I'm going to stick with the Rose = Pink theory... =p

[@sabinat.1399]

Mortal Anonymous that's true, but Sapphire's gem changes color when she and Ruby become Garnet. So possibly gems could change color slightly depending on what form a gem takes?

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW

[@BahuschBahusch]

This is probably the most famous SU theory

[@anyanP]

Maybe suspiciously identical color schemes aren't just a coincidence, but have a very different explanation behind it. In "Rocknaldo" we was given an idea of gemstone shards being inside living creatures' blood. What if this is whats going on? What if all living beings on Earth are "infected" with what remained of Pink Diamond: her dust? And Rose's ressurection power is actually activating that dust? This actually could explained a lot. Coloration of ressurected? Caused by microscopic diamond shards. Source of that dream? Diamond dust in Stevonnie's blood. Even Steven's ability to fuse with humans actually are more plausible if said humans ALSO are some sort of human-gem hybrids via diamond shards in their blood. Hell, even changes in Lars' behaviour in this episodes could be explained by this. He acted more open and more childish. He was confident, but easy to cry. And he was shown decent leader skills... Yeah, it may be just character development, but it also may be character development and being influenced by Pink Diamond. (also, it's safe to assume that such tiny shards would be practicly undetected, so it dosen't create a plothole.)

[@fainepeony7390]

anyanP Perhaps I’m tired but that almost makes sense?

[@tylerian4648]

Makes a lot more sense than the people saying rose quartz and PD are without doubt not one in the same.

[@lenamafalda]

This theory now makes more sense to me. And Connie's vision was improved thanks to Steven's saliva in a season 1 episode, so she must have experienced an effect with diamond shards, just like how Lars got resurrected.

[@zuupower3503]

Very interesting theory but not plausible. If that was the case, Gems themselves could fuse with humans alone, just how gems can fuse with Steven.

[@garthor]

It seems to me that Gems haven't ever tried to fuse with humans... I can't remember the exact episode, but when Pearl finds out that Steven fused with Connie, she seems to think it impossible, but then realizes she doesn't actually know if its possible or not... Having said that, this theory seems highly improbable to me. It seems to me that gem shards in the blood in order to be effective at all, would have to be large enough to be detected by modern microscopic instrumentation. I don't believe we should readily dismiss anything Ronaldo has to say though, I think at least a couple things he's predicted have come true. I also do like the theory that Steven isn't the only gem-human hybrid on earth. We have all assumed up until this point that Rose gave Steven her gem in order for Steven to live, but what if that wasn't actually the case? Did she and Greg have to try multiple times, before finally figuring out the magic formula to produce a biological-gem combination compatible for life? If not, and if it hadn't been done before, how would Rose have known she needed to sacrifice herself in order for Steven to live?

[@fairloke]

Your theory was right!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤🌹

Fairloke my mind is blown!

[@daritapro]

I was so against this theory but you had it spot on all this time! You're amazing!

[@brycemoose7026]

GG to those of you that stuck by this theory

[@hermeticallysealed1]

Rose being Pink would violate too much of the setting. Gems can't change their actual gem, even shape shifting the stone stays the same shape and place. Shape shifting cannot be held for long. If Rose were Pink, she would have had to have disguised herself as a Rose Quartz (remember, there are bunches of them.), and frankly after the war, she would have just reverted back to her normal look. There is no reason to justify Rose being Pink. As for Steven's dreams, Steven's powers are based on empathy, and he is extremely empathetic. He picked up on Blue's emotions from the other side of a planet, I imagine he can probably feel lingering psychic residue if the emotions were strong enough. And let's face it, picking up emotional residue is a used enough trope that it wouldn't be that unusual for the Crew to use it as a storytelling method.

[@dexdrako]

it wouldn't be shape shifting it would be PD using some device (like the mystery sphere in the moon base) to "recut" (to use a gemology term) her gem to look like another gem type shape.

There's another interesting point forgotten here. The diamonds say that pink diamond was shattered. But we never saw those shards, they should have been present during the trials, or at least mentionned.

[@TrickyTalon23]

[@user-br5gs5bg1t]

What if Pink Diamond is not shattered at all?! What if maybe she is alive and since there is a likely possibility that Rose and Pink Diamond were close, this could mean that they had another connection, a unique one. That's right everyone, I'm talking about telepathic communication!!!!! I believe this could be a great possibility because Steven has Rose' s gem meaning that Steven is now able to communicate with Pink Diamond just like Rose did with Pink Diamond (theoretically of course). Maybe in the war they had to use it....or maybe Pink is trying to connect with Steven and that is why Steven is dreaming about it.

[@AkiraAlexisSoyra]

diamond rose PD is Rose

[@tezisthebest491]

Yeah they had another connection alright

[@clementineanartist5714]

Akira Alexis Soyra that comment was made 3 months ago.

[@goldenpersonality6222]

Here's my personal theory. What if rose knew Pink diamond personally. That she and pink were kinda close. That how she knew about how Yellow and blue treated her like she wasn't important. Thats why Steven could see a conversation between Pink and Yellow. Thats also why rose may not have shattered her. She may have felt sorry for her. Also the rebellion was to make all gems free. Then pink could have been treated better. But something or someone shattered happened to pink. And if she was close to pink and the earth belonged to pink, Gems started to believe rose shattered her because she started the rebellion. Rose could have easily been a target to blame as the leader of therebellion. But truth be tolled. Rose and pink were friends and that may even be how rose met pearl. if our pearl did belong to pink diamond and she and rose were friends then she would have met pearl sometime. Who knows maybe you could make a video on this theory. (Edit maybe thats also why all the rest of the rose quartz solders were in her personal room at the zoo).

[@script_0529]

Also Rose couldn't shatter her even if she wanted to. Her sword can cut through the body but never the gem. That's why bismuth created a weapon for shattering homeworld gems but Rose just didn't allow it

Besides the 3D model you showed of was an Amathyst not a Rose Quartz... Also we don't really know what shape Pink Diamond's _table_ has. Maybe it's octogonal... ...I had to google diamond parts to explain what I wanted to say.

Wubzod On this video, the schematic is really bad. But on a better schema it is more like.

[@gagagincks]

+Wubzod i think your theory is more irrelevant or less accurate than the point that rose/Steven could be Pink diamond then so Pink diamond wasn’t shattered by her it just might’ve looked like it from the witnessing gems angles there is some logic to your thought yes but also Roses gem could’ve been Pink diamond I propose this because we never saw the sides of her/Stevens gem so it could very well mean that rose and Steven are also Pink diamond

Cause Rose didn't shatter Pink Diamond.....

[@script_0529]

Rebecca said it would shock us who shattered pink diamond. And even though they said at one point int he show that Rose shattered pink diamond, Zircon was walking about how the story makes no sense. It doesn't make sense to either blue diamond or yellow as well. Bismuth, the gem who made Rose's sword, even said that the sword could cut through their form, but never the gem

[@Leo-zk9rd]

Pearl would have to shape shift into Rose and fake shatter Pink Diamond and then Pink Diamond would shape shift back into Rose, Pearl would go back to Pearl. Rose never existed.

ZONE13 maybe not white and yellow diamond but Blue probably would want Steven to take his mother's place. He would have pink diamond gem after all

[@ZONE-fj8ly]

Dredd, They don't understand anything about organics or how they reproduce for them to understand his mix biology and geology. Besides, it is not really Pink Diamodn's gem but her subconsciousness that resides inside of Rose Quartz or something else. However, she could be alive somewhere.
