The Limitless Potential of All Rose Quartz Gems! - Steven Universe Theory

[@ChristyTina22]

Can you imagine being bubbled just because you were the same kind of gem as the leader of the rebellion? If any of them got free, I don't think they'd side with the Crystal Gems. I think, like Lapis did, they'd try to flee from both sides.

[@chrono-glitchwaterlily8776]

Now that is true racism, I KNEW CONCRETE WAS MISUNDERSTOOD

[@imarock8763]

Thats an interesting thought considering we know all the gems from pink diamonds court were bubbled and maybe shattered depending on what side you were on..id definetly see them going after rose quartz that looked like rose

[@ChristyTina22]

+Sean Lindsey Would they stick around for an explanation though?

[@outlawtc7226]

I would rather that than them sitting there bubbled atleast we would have the chance to get to know one of them or possibly more than one so that the questions would not be lingering so hard above me and others who think like me

That moment when you realize that a real rose quartz would most likely have NONE of the remarkable abilities as our Rose Quartz / Pink Diamond.

[@marinacruzchueco3768]

I thought I was going to see a theory video and instead ended watching an inspirational one about believing in yourself and not being afraid of change. You are really something else and I think that's a great change you and your analysis are making in your subscribers. I love you.

[@takeru1282]

That pep talk was intense. Really needed that right now

[@vizualbandit5331]

Our Rose was imbued with a fraction of Pink Diamonds power.

[@lindseywannemacher9040]

Joshua Hill that's what I was thinking. Perhaps she was the first Rose Quartz ever made? And Pink some of her powers to her. It makes sense. Rose has Diamond- like super abilities beyond the everyday Gem.

[@vizualbandit5331]

Lindsey Wannemacher Right and remember Peridot tried to create life via the farm and said "You were made in my image..." So its likely that Our Rose was made exactly in Pink Diamonds Image also being apart of Pink Diamond herself.

[@amyrose4ever157]

Jade Steven has only taken over the mind of a sleeping human so far, and I don't think homeworld gems sleep at all. So maybe that's why she couldn't go into her mind

[@taetm8868]

Joshua Hill it would be funny if our rose was actually a fraction of pink diamond in the end

[@LordVanOskuro]

+BTS stole all the jams Maybe she was in a way. All the other Roses might have been prototypes that PD made in order to create a second body that she could use to see how regular gems lived, an avatar if you will. As for the zoo, maybe that was a false pretense to get it past the other diamonds notice. In reality, it could have actually been an arc for the human race.

[@8unnylover]

Surprise, she's actually a diamond too...! So, we actually have no idea what real Rose Quartzes are capable of

[@qscoobydoo7799]

she is not like others rose quartzs because she is not one :))

[@tori6056]

Wow. I didn't expect that motivational speech at the end. It really made my day, thank you :)

[@tadhgknight3484]

Not to bum you out or ruin the moment, but i think it was just to get the vid over 10 minutes

[@msmx9088]

literal plot twist: Rose is so powerful cuz *she is a diamond*

[@angelsdevil4100]

I honestly needed that Papa Slice pep talk. Thank you for putting so much effort into your videos.

[@luisrogelio98]

This became a motivation video quick, guess I'll roll with it now , you just got to love this show and slice of otaku

[@johnshort2016]

And now we know why she was so strong she was pink diamond

[@thepiasticbag2462]

Who watching this after "A Single Pale Rose"?

[@lilianadaguiar2439]

Rose Quartz is one of my favorite characters because she is powerful, yet still has many flaws.

[@dooozeey]

[@casiorollo]

SteviiLove and then we find that pink diamond and her are the same. Which means we have no idea what Rose quarts gems could do.

[@_peachjam_]

Man, watching these videos after finding out about Pink Diamond is wild lmao But dude, do you know what would have been *really* cool? If like, an episode before the whole Pink Diamond arc, if we had met an unbubbled Rose Quartz, and she was voiced by someone else. Sort of hinting at the fact that Rose wasn't actually a Rose Quartz. Even if it was just for a second, like if Steven had bumped into her durring a rush and she went 'wh- huh?' and it was someone else, that would've been really cool

[@coolguy4411]

oh how silly this feels now

[@Lukejackp]

seriously your everywhere

[@thatbluedemon186]

[@shuuzo]

OH MNY GOODD this has to meab somehing lol talking about being afraid of change, i needa get out of my abusive house and i'm probably gonna get kicked out anyways and what you're saying is right cuz im trying to stay here in this bad place cuz im afraid of being homeless but if i really try i can probably be ok but idk i'm trapped i wish i could be as brave as all of them on SU are

[@Marie-mm1df]

Accordingly, Homeworld gems are limited of their true potential, but our Rose Quartz somehow broke through the limitations, as gems have “assigned roles,” and showed other gems that they have powers beyond just having a gem and a weapon. It’s fascinating to me, and also makes me ponder the hidden abilities of other “limited” gems in both Era 1 and 2.

[@lyricaltherapper.3672]

This is an amazing information part on your side

[@johnblaze1988]

Slice, you're reading my mind. I was thinking about Peridot discovering her metal power the whole time during this analysis.

[@Hawkgirl719]

I feel like Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz had a conversation similar to Rose Quartz and Pearl.

[@TriniLush7]

Deb Hawkins I think so too. I don't think she's shattered but bubbled and hidden because PD just couldn't take it anymore.

[@Hawkgirl719]

Miss Mitchell I thibk White Diamond shattered her, and she knew it was coming because she was trying to keep humans alive.

[@nesquik9579]

Deb Hawkins pink diamond was going to destroy the earth with all the kindergardens, spires, etc... Rose and the gems didn't think it was right so the shatterd pd and started a war and won so earth could live on. Get your facts right /derp\

[@Hawkgirl719]

In case you haven't been paying attention, NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. We're all giving our theories. Any facts we THINK we know are now up in the air because Pink Diamond was FRAMED, so DERP YOURSELF.

[@BlookiethePookie]

Actual pink diamond and rose quarts are the same person

[@metalmagerin3]

Not to mention, our Rose Quartz knew about the power of Fusion. Fusion requires emotional stability and positivity. Most homeworld gems limit their fusions to gems of the same type, such as the Ruby fusion. That's because there's a hierarchy that got broken when Garnet got made. A Ruby mixing with a Sapphire broke the diamond order, which limited gems to their roles. But Rose could fuse with any of the crystal gems at any time. Sardonyx said fused gems take the abilities of their components. Perhaps one of Rose's fusions amplified her healing powers? To such an extent that Homeworld couldn't replicate it. We do know Rose is strong alone, but together they were an army strong enough for the diamonds to consider their little corruption beam.

[@chillcloud3339]

Welp, now we know why she was so limitless in power

[@neoslayerpw8230]

OP BUSTED BROKEN AND *THICC*

[@fireflamegamer8321]

I love watching this videos

[@-18]

It would have been nice if Steven's mother was a Rose Quartz as the whole rebellion and resistance thing would have been real and not based on a lie, but with the amount of powers that made Steven's mother had... It was guessable that she was a Diamond.

[@valeriesmith9460]

I love watching these old videos so much in light of the new information

[@Moon525]

Amazing and deep analysis as usual. I agree with a lot of this and I think the Crew is trying to convey these messages; the idea that love and emotions unlock everyone's potential.

Ok, dude seriously, your speech, this video, and pretty much almost everything you talk about, it's just... I dunno, but your speech about individuality and the true message behind the show gave me goosebumps. Love your stuff man.

Rose Quartz is powerful cause she is Pink Diamond

[@chronichols2551]

What if lars went in to lions main?

[@scarvesinsummer795]

If what you're saying is to have Lars exit through his own hair, the experience'd probably tear him apart

[@lalas181]

I was gonna say that if he went into Lion's mane he'd suffocate, but then I remembered "wait, he doesn't really need to breath anymore" and that train of thought burst into flames.

[@ganonsannoyinglittlebrothe9112]

Larseption

[@gracekim1998]

A time paradox 😆

[@Toekneebob]

The obvious answer to your question is, "Lars would then be in lion's mane if he went into Lion's mane." you probably were wondering, though, what would happen to him after he entered. My hypothises would be that he would be just fine. His hair is only a portal. Trying to exit out of his own hair is impossible, but coming and going to that diemension IS, as long as he uses other resurected being such as lion.

[@ap7635]

Shattered gems are still partially conscious and Rose's tears can easily cure gem cracks. Maybe with enough RQs you could bring a shattered gem back to life. If YD was the one to shatter PD it would make sense that she'd push for the RQs to be shattered before anyone else could realized they could bring her back.

[@-kiwiflower3783]

while this theory was mostly disproved by the rose is pink d thing, this is not to say that rose quartzes weren't amazing, they were likely mostly made to tend humans, as we have not seen any gems that are intended for this and it's highly unlikely that they left a species that built something PINK DIAMOND 'couldn't destroy' though that was a lie guards would be placed and these guards would be capable of harboring intelligence, keeping these humans in line, and being compassionate enough to care for them, not to mention that when someone got hurt and it was infected pink not only would ask yellow to "Hue-man proof (my) zoo (please)" but reengineer these gems with basic limited healing which, still not enough to rival or come close to her own, would make them high in status. I assume these Quartzes would also serve to protect the humans. While not rare, these gems would be high in status and still not be cocky because of how they were engineered, I believe these gems were made to differ from rose and the rest of pink's court, instead of being childish they are calm and intelligent like blue's court strong and buff like Yellow's court and mysterious as white's what do they have from pink? well, perhaps curiosity or ... no just curiosity. If that. They more likely relate to their diamond with their ability to heal and compassion. I would include more but not here. maybe in a response video later.

[@simplyexplained875]

Our "Rose Quartz" was the only known healing gem in existence though. According to Eyeball.

[@nicolovespanda]

I think it's a little strange how it's not like rose's power was from training, or something really self-made. She just happened to be a rose quartz and that's why she's so powerful and that's it

[@t.silver7317]

*awkwardly laughs*

[@blanketqueen5795]

I think they miigghhhttt have a lot of character development and grow as a person! :3

[@thecrystalcrystals9242]

What if Rose Quartzes retrieved from the Zoo are used by post-SGW (Second Gem War) humans to alter/enhance their own abilities? What if Rose Quartzes are the first step towards superhumans seen during K.O's lifetime, during the Heroes' War? I KNEW there was more of a connection between the shows!

[@taleni-wrld]

But can quartz gems shatter my impatience for a new Steven universe episode

[@myownday]

My theory is that Rose Quartzes were made specifically to be maintainers of the human zoo. It makes sense that all of them would have healing powers and empathy if they were meant to care for fragile humans. It also explains why all the bubbled quartzes are located at the zoo and also how Rose came to know about humans to begin with.

I truly enjoy the lessons in individuality, kindness, compassion, ect. in this show, because it displays them without patronizing it's audience. Similar to how Avater taught reponsibility and personal strength, Steven Universe has individuality and emotional awarenss to offer.

It’s interesting to watch this now with what we know

[@jaredkhan8743]

U know, her being pd makes a little more sense now

[@Esternos2891]

Jared Khan i thought so a long time ago. why would rose quarts be so stupidly powerful over the other types of quartz. it seemed so much more likely to have been a diamond (to be honest i used to think she kinda possesed a rose quartz, like how steven possesses lars or watermelons. now i stand corrected)

[@kieakewii]

I needed this today. My family and I don’t speak anymore due to how I feel about certain things being ran and I feel like I’m a Rose or Pearl and I’m scared but trying to free myself from control.

[@ConfusedGirl1995]

Who bubbled the other Rose Quartz gems? Their bubbles are clearly pink, and we know from the other bubbled gems in the temple that the bubble colour indicates the maker of the bubble. But if they were bubbled because one of them shattered Pink Diamond, then who made the pink bubbles? Our Rose? Another member of Pink Diamond's court? I don't know if it has any relevance, just curious!

[@MaskedKittyYT]

Sadie B i would assume that pink diamond did it before she was shattered, because the rebellion did somewhat happened before she was shattered, by the time rose shattered pink she was a big known rebel and there were no roses in her known crew, so i assume when the rebellion started pink was made by yellow to bubble the whole cut of gem.

[@LadyRavencide13]

It's a good message! Hit the nail on the head there, but it can be hard to release your potential and try your hardest, it's hard work, first of all knowing which path to take and then committing yourself to it. It's difficult, it's stressful, and it can be hard work. I'm thinking in terms of finding the right career and decisions re which course to do at uni etc etc But it's true that when you stop holding yourself back you can do amazing things.

[@elizabethmontoya-laporte160]

When you came for a theory but got a pep talk instead

[@lpsprincess67]

When you said, "She wanted to inspire other gems", I thought back to Pearl's song Strong in the Real Way (the actual name of the song slipped my mind). Pearl says "I want to inspire you, I want to be your rock and when I talk it lights a fire in you." Considering Pearl was seen as more or less a weak gem due to her petite physique, these words could have on been from rose, which she found solice in. I just thought I'd mention it since it struck such a huge cord with me

[@balisongnerd]

In the trial zircon says there where no rose quartz when pink was shattered

[@balisongnerd]

oh ok

[@MegaChickenfish]

It could be that, like Steven's multitude of gem powers are impacted by his emotional state, that same thing is true to gems, and if they were more creative and open-minded about their abilities they'd find out they had amazing talents they never knew existed because they were pidgeonholed into one purpose their whole lives. Peridot strikes me as the main example of this with her telekinesis.

[@shashish6856]

well this is awkward

[@bigdray55]

You make a good point, in that Rose and the rest of the Crystal Gems may be able to tap into extra powers due to there emotions. Which is why the diamonds may not want other gem to experience emotions and the diamonds reserve that for themselves. Peridot got completely emotional over her tablet when she discovered her powers.
