I just got this video recommended to me. CZcams woke up and chose Padparadscha.
The video is 8 years old, so it's more like a regular sapphire.
@@phictionofgrandeur2387 I’m referring to the CZcams algorithm, not the creator of the video.
that is actually so funny
Padparadscha moment lollll
SAME
coming back to this, it's almost scary just how accurate the Rose is Pink Diamond theory turned out to be xD
I knew they had a Gem as a government-sanctioned emblem on their money, but I didn't realize until now that it's _Steven's_ Gem.
Sparkle Chord its even scarier that this video was 2 year-old and was right.
Same with the Garnet gem fusion theory, they literally mentioned Ruby and Sapphire.
That's what I said!
This was so early too
2016: I think this reveal might come very soon
2017: nevermind I guess it wasn't real
2018: ...
2019: Thanos died
2020: Steven Universe Future
2021: steven ended
2022: Steven Universe fans are depressed
2023: Most of the fans haved moved on but others are suprisingly active(I thought it was fully dead but nvm)
getting this on my recommended 8 years late is hilarious to me
same
Welp, everyone who doubted this theory is probably embarrased by now...
Shoto Todoroki I sure know I am
Shoto Todoroki i believed in it
I BOASTED SO HARD
Yep and that is a fact XD
Lol
no it sounded insane back then.
Here we are in the future
And it's right

Maybe rose reformed as a Quartz to hide her real form

Amethyst has shown that is not sustainable in the episode *Reformed*.
Wow
You guessed it
LITERALLY YOU GUESSED IT SPOT ON LMFAOAOAOAOA
Sophie Schreiber GOOD JOB BECOME A FORTUNE TELLER!
lmao it was true
Rebecca sugar needs to be so proud of themself. This reveal was sooo in plain sight it hurts. I never even made the connection between rose's armory and the moon.
What’s next? Garnet’s a fusion?
Ye
It might seem crazy what I'm boutta say
@@windums560 What if the giant gem was a bunch of tiny broken gems? i know it sounds like a stretch
So fake! What’s next? Lars finds a crew of cast out gems and joins them?💀
Sounds insane to me, personally.
Then what?! The diamonds go to the good side and Steven deals with trauma? What a silly idea......
OK,ya let me guess Steve is going to get insane amount of trauma and become a giant monster that can take on the entire show by himself Jesus, these speculations are so stupid
Then what? Steve uses healing powers to give a cactus insane strength and sentience that ends up destroying a wall?
and then what, cookie cat goes out of production?
Are you sapphire? Cause I think you predicted the future.
Well his voice is pretty deep, probably a genderbent Sapphire.
I must be Sapphire, because I can see a possible future where we're together.

i don't know how and why this was shown to me 8 years later
CZcams recommended this to me now and i was shocked to see when it was uploaded
Look who was right after all! Called it 2 years before the reveal. Respect Bro!
It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Coming back to this 8 years later.
got recommended to you out of the blue as well?
@@StarLightGem yeah but im not complaining lol
Nah this theory is too out there, no way it comes true
Maybe when Rose started the rebellion, the other diamonds stripped her of her diamond authority which led to changing her form and she was further classified as "Rose Quartz"? That's why Steven didn't recognize the mural, she changed from a diamond form to a Rose Quartz form?
U're right😋
No not really
This makes me want to go back in time and experience the Pink Reveal for the first time again.
Something to also consider is that the positions of the diamonds in the old symbol could show a sign of rank. White Diamond could be the supreme leader (and possibly the largest) while Rose would be the smallest and lowest in the diamond rank.
BOOOOOI u were RIGHT
Fucking sapphire over here
blue and yellow diamounds perls have theyr gems in the same place that the diamouns....so maybe pearl is white diamounds pearl
+Jude Rhyme Yeah. This would turn Pearl being with Rose from an evidence for Pink Diamond into a "maybe" as Pearl would be White Pearl instead of Pink Pearl. I say maybe instead of an outright point against as you'd still need to explain why White Pearl would have had interaction with and long enough with Rose to decide to defect with her.
Yellow Pearl was blindly devoted to Yellow Diamond. Blue Pearl showed next to no emotion, but seemed to perk up when hearing about the rebels coming. So maybe less devoted. However, Blue Pearl was locked up in Blue Diamond's mecha chair with BD when the rebels showed up. So it looks like BD keeps her close. So Rose would likely still have to be highly ranked enough that not only Pink Diamond would trust her, but she'd have regular contact with White Diamond. At least tolerated by White Diamond to hang about so she could hob knob with White Pearl.
Gideon Wells what if pearl was used as a messager(pearls can make holograms tharefore holomessages)
+Gideon Wells it's also been explicitly stated that pearl is a defective pearl, her gemstone is an oval instead of a circle like the others (at least yellow) so you could also say that pearl was made for white diamond but didn't turn out right, so Rose took her in instead of letting them destroy her gem. something along those lines.
Whoops.
Sonic Bralaunik oh shush
welp... after seeing the.... yeah
Mhmm😶
Thanks for this blast from the past, CZcams.
The theory we thought was impossible and dumb turned out to be true...
Welp
this theory makes a lot of sense! I can't believe how much thought you put into these theories! Also I believe that she may have been a Diamond as well
Hi
crazy how it's been 6 years already, young me was so shocked at the pink diamond reveal
8
:(
@@mintyreview6794 yoo this is making me nostalgic about the old days lol
Finally a video about this, from someone who made it before the truth was revelated and doesn't deleted it
well this aged well
I have a theory
AJ Universe is a sapphire, he can predict the future, only he pretends to be human
Some of these comments aged terribly but I too used to believe PD was a totally separate entity. It’s so scary how accurate this theory is looking back on it after all the reveals and movie. This guy must be a Sapphire
Peridot, Yellow Pearl and Sapphire to their Diamonds: My Diamond
Rose Quartz to Pearl: My Pearl.
Awwwwww.
So,go ahead tell them. Do you think anybody will believe you
-Rebecca (probably years ago when she saw the theory)
ROSE QUARTZ IS PINK DIAMOND!? ARE YOU SERIOUS
NEXT KAIJU STEVEN AND TEMPLE FUSION DEBUT, HOW RIDICULOUS!!!
Dude, this video is old. Do you are has stupid?
@@MystikoBluthey're pretending it's still 2016.
Rebeca sugar: it might seem crazy what I’m bout to say
Good news you’re right!
I think the biggest thing that makes it lean toward rose being pink diamond is that the show creators repeatedly and deliberately avoid showing so much of a smidgen of pink diamond. that seems like a lot of guff to go through to torment the fandom and keep us guessing. pearl is white, that doesnt mean they hide white diamond to make us speculate that pearl could be white diamond. we know she isnt and they show her, but why deliberately hide pink diamond to simply build suspense to keep us guessing?
this just appeared in my reccomended after all this time, it's amazing
I think Crewniverse is playing us. I think throughout the series they are going to give evidence to support and evident to disprove. Possibly at the end of the show two sides will be created and it will be revealed at the end. But I dunno.
true
This reminds me of "Garnet is a fusion" theory. Although she had TWO GEMS with DIFFERENT CUTS, some people just found the idea of her being a fuaion too obvious to be true xD
Letícia Pais Some people didn't believe it because before Jailbreak people theorized that Garnet was actually evil because she was hiding secrets and very quiet she was suspicious. But when we found out she was a relationship we all fell in love with her xD
Eh, you might *might* be right, Cereza. Just **maybe**
I mean you were pretty spot on there. They played us like a grand piano tbh
in the mural in "it could have been great" pink diamond is standing on rose quartz gems. The same ones that power lion and Rose's spaceship. Not sure what this means but could be evidence that she is pink diamond.
+Molly Gabriella Or it could be evidence that Rose Quartz Gems followed her, but either way that's a good catch.
+Molly Gabriella
I don't know if I would call those Rose Quartz gems...
Its a half a circle with rectangles arrayed out of it.
Considering the abstract nature of the patterns behind the other murals, Im not sure they represent anything specific for Pink Diamond.
Not saying it is impossible, it just seems like a bit of a stretch.
+Dillsfawn no other murals have extra items besides white diamonds sphere so they have to be important. I just think they look a lot like a bunch of pink quartz gems
+AJ Universe Could Rose have shapeshifted herself smaller to fit in with other gems?
Also, if Connie and/or Steven have a near death experience, could they decide to fuse into Stevonnie forever ( like Garnet?)
+Dillsfawn not her gem stone but the ones she uses to power items
I would've loved this theory exactly 4 days ago XP
How bout now...
jungle moon; Rose Quartz is Pink Diamond! This theory lives!
This theory...
*is proven*
I remember watching this and thinking "yeah there similar but it can't be true" and boy was I wrong. You have future vision my good sir
Someone cooked here.
Congrats! You are correct.
Goddamn this is actually just aged like fine wine.
This is mocked but at the end theorist got the last laugh
3:58 LOOK AT THE SHAPE OF THE MOON BASE DOOR, THEN LOOK AT STEVEN'S GEM
Okay. And...?
@@AJUniverselmao
Two words
Well done
The thumbnail says it all
This is the original theory. You need a lot more views.
The reason I so thoroughly enjoy your theory videos is because of the respectful separation of facts and observations, from ideas of your own. It is a pain to click on a theory video and have unsupported conclusions being spat out left and right. As for this video itself, very good timing. Steven Bomb 4 gave us a lot to process and the rose diamond theory was the last thing on my mind. I am glad you made it front and center and gave me another reason to rewatch the most recent steven bomb!
Rebeecca Sugar managed to shatter(pun intended) a WIDE spread theory of the fandom and then make a fool out of all of us showing that the theory she made us abandon was in fact right all along. THAT is genius writing folks
I never even realized the insignia corresponding to gem locations! My jaw DROPPED! :D
5:50 mind blown
This MF cooked!
So everyone got this recommended too ? lol
Uuuh WHATS NEXT , STEVEN IS A SNAKE PERSON? RIDIC- oh wait
early ahh comment
**ahem** “A SINGLE PALE ROSE” **walks away**
Your Right! Congrats
If you think about it. The name gives it away.. Roses are normally red and quartz is white. If you combine red+white you get pink. I just thought of this now.
The word Rose in French means both Rose and Pink.
2 years ago?!?!?you were correct!
perhaps the pink diamond mural showed her true giant form so Steven did not recognize because he only new her in the smaller human like form she took on since it looks like the diamonds are less human like then most gems
Why is this getting recommended to me now?
- slowly claps -
Ya done good
YA DONE GOOD
I’m not jealous :’)
i guess no one really considered the moon base's seat to be a diamond's since it was pretty small...
This aged well!!!
While I'm sure that Rose is are more than what we know, I've never been one to believe in the Rose = PD Theory. She's classified as a Quartz and displays pretty much all the features that Peridot once used to describe what amethyst was supposed to be. Especially if she was engineered with the idea of being a high rank fighter/commander in mind then it would explain her prowess in battle and ability to lead.
Another thing to look at though it really don't have too much grounds other than simply pulling a few things together is that Rose is a big lady. She's got some chub/muscle/whatever and what we've seen of YD and BD as well as of the two murals we've seen, Diamonds seem to have similar body types: more slender, elegant/regal in a way that's more fluid than boxy, rather tall. And while there could be digression, I just don't feel as though Rose fits the "image" of what a Diamond is. What's more, she's barely taller than Garnet making her shorter than Jasper, and she is absolutely smaller than YD. To me, that just stacks a lot against the theory.
More to it, with titles, the name of a gem is tied to their rank. Pearls we're assuming are close to if not the bottom of the barrel. And they hold the name/title of pearl. The Diamonds are at the top and once more the name is their title. So then we get to the solider/Quartz cast. Let's take Japser and Amethyst here for a moment. Both are (scientifically speaking) quartz with Jasper classified as an "aggregate of microquartz" which means real life Jasper is made of many smaller things... I'm not a scientist, it's hard to convey. Which backs of a theory I personally suppose of Jasper being either a successful forced fusion or just made of the left over materials used for the bigger and badder soldiers. Amethysts are considered just quartz which personally points me to believing that has Steven Universe Amethyst not been "overcooked" she would have been bigger and of higher status than Jasper. All this leads up to what I've really been trying to get at, Rose Quartz as a high ranking solider. Her own name holds the word/title/classification of Quartz. She's THE Quartz. Or in the top tear atleast.
However one of the things that knocks on this is that rubies aren't quartz (correct me if I'm wrong).
Getting away from all the "well mineralogy says this so i think this" mumbo. Rose, from what I've seen, just really seems too emotional to be a Diamond. For the most part, what we've seen/have heard is that they are typically collected(unless called a clod but hey) more rational than emotional, and have the type of personality to say "I'll let 50 die if it means saving 1000" or something like that. BD was okay with the loss of 7 gems. She seemed to show no sympathy for Sapphire despite being told that Sapphire knew she would be a casualty. It was for the greater good. YD had no problem detonating the communication gem when she found Peridot was defecting/malfunctioning/disobeying because it would be for the greater good. Rose is about teamwork all everyone being valuable. (As far as I've seen and hear about her.) She cares about the emotions of others and whats to know how they feel. It's just not very Diamond like.
I see things going for both theory but to me, the idea that Rose if PD is just a bit of a stretch for me to believe. Sorry about the wall of text, make of it what you will.
well what do you think of it now?
@@mr.d8654I guess it’s pretty great
ahhh there it is... that irony taste 😂
@@magicdolphin3090 it taste like blood
This is the hallmark of a well thought out show, that you could logically deduce a plot twist but yet most being still sidelined by it
oh man, i think this might be a long shot /s
"I dont belive in this theory as much now"
...
she could have been a hgh ranking member of PD's court
This aged well, very accurate
I think that the next step would be to determine where the actual Pink Diamind went or what happened to her. And to do that I think we need to analyze each Diamond's role in their matriarchy. In the Moonbase Murals, each Diamond was depicted doing something, or in a certain pose. That makes me think that they each had a specific purpose or domain that they controlled. And because Honeworld removed the Pink Diamond symbol after the rebellion, they would no longer have control over Pink Diamond's domain or purpose.
Sapphire broke her promise to not look
Wow congrats AJ for theorizing this theory
1st of all its not proven that peri cant activate the controller, steven found it before her, and even if only diamond can activate the controller, why peridot doesnt have anything to say to steven when he activated it, like :" How da f*ck did u do that, the controller is diamond only" or something
They all found it at the same time, peridot garnet and pearl got up there before Steven and amethyst (recently just finished rewatching so I know that happened) and she does say that, she says "that's only meant for elites!"
dude there's no way peri will act like in the show infront of a diamond even if she's a rebel
+Smith Black it wasn't her diamond, she only has loyalty to yellow diamond it seems
thespud12
lets me quotes peridot on this
"the diamond are the gems matriarchs.......we live to serve them"
"only the most elite of the elite can enter this sanctum"
"that chair is only for the most elite gem, u cant go around and sit where the elite would sit"
and there's more
bonus:
Amythes:" so how do u turn it on? "
Peridot:" i have no idea "
Steven: " hey it got one of those hand thingy "
Peridot just didn't know how to turn it on, neither did Steven but when he hit the hand thing he recognized then it worked, probably not because of his rose gem as peridot was also able to activate the stairs to the tower, and the door to the base. Just saying
Interesting theory think it holds some weight
When I first heard of Rose Diamond theory, I liked the idea, but honestly all this new information over time has made me lean more towards the idea of Rose just being a high-up gem, perhaps analogous to Sapphire or something. I like to think her job involved culturing production of new gems or something along those lines, but who knows.
BOI YOU WhERE WRONG..but hey you where going on the right idea but then you got baited.....well thinked that it was wrong.
Here we are in the future
PLEASE forget the "EMPHASIS ON COULD"
this aged like fine wine 😌
CZcams recommend me this… i wish i could experience the episode of a Single pale rose again
I believed that Rose was Pink Diamond until Steven Bomb 4 came out. There's just so much pointing towards Rose not being a Diamond. Yellow and Blue Diamond are huge. If Rose was a diamond, she would definitely be much bigger than she was. In The Answer, when Rose and Pearl attacked the cloud arena, no one recognized them. If Rose was Pink Diamond, they would definitely know who she was and refer to her as other than just a rebel. She would've been a former ruler, there's no way no one would've known who she was. I do think that she was very important, however. I saw a theory on Tumblr suggesting that she could've been Pink Diamond's personal body guard. She is a quartz, and quartz gems are loyal soldiers so that would make sense. It also makes sense how she would've been important enough for her gem to be able to activate the control panel on the moon base, if she was indeed Pink Diamond's personal guard, she would've been very close to PD and trustworthy enough for such access.
I agree with you on everything else except the size thing. They wouldn't make Steven bomb 4 full of info and make 1 episode about gems being able to make themselves Bigger.. Without it having something to do with the diamonds. Maybe all diamonds r stretched out to seem higher and bigger than everyone elts
+Bill Tonys
So I guess you missed the part about that episode where they *specifically* said they *can't* maintain shapeshifted forms for extended periods of time?
Steven couldn't last the day, and it resulted in reverting into a baby.
And Amethyst openly admitted she "...*can't* do this all day..." when she was putting up the banner.
+Bill Tonys Agreeeee
+Dillsfawn yeah but rose (if she is pink diamond) haves more stability and power
Or maybe that's how she got stuck short being extended for so long
+Bill Tonys
Perhaps, but it still establishes a limitation and we have no evidence that Diamonds are excluded from that limitation.
Im not saying its impossible to overcome, it is just *very unlikely* based on what evidence has been provided so far.
2019 ?
Someone?
No?
Ok.
Stfu
2020
I am grateful that i stuck to this theory until now
"It might seem crazy, what i'm boutta say'' ahh comment section
There's the idea that the Diamonds are permafusions, like Garnet.
Perhaps when 2 Gems with the same stone placement fuze, the stone changes shape?
If it does, then what if there were 2 Rose Quartz, and when fuzed their gem changes to a diamond shape? It would allow for her to be just as tall as the other Diamonds, and would explain the difference in Gem Shape.
Speculation, yes. But they're setting up something big here.
I have a theory that Rose was a high ranking quartz gem under pink diamond. In the sky arena, the statues seem to be more the champions of the diamonds', and I have a feeling the statue that is destroyed is of Rose. She may have been created as a Rose Quartz to be a field medic as well as a soldier, which could mean she was given more empathy to suffering in order to help her teammates--but this same empathy is what made her turn against homeworld in order to save the Earth
+Girl Face If that theory turns out to be true and if Rose was made by Pink Diamond, then the latter spectacularly shot the Homeworld Gems in the foot. Then again, that could've been Pink Diamond's plan if it turns out that she wanted to save the Earth.
It might be crazy what im about to say
Why hath this appeared to me now, 6 years after the reveal. Either way, amazing video
I'm here after everything ohhhh what a feeling...
Anyone else just going through SU theories and looking at the comments to see who was right and who was wrong?
Yes
Me and it was entertaining
with all of the continuity the show has given us i think that anything as big as steven not recognizing his mother on the moon base or how our pearl isn't pink to match rose just makes it seem extremely unlikely that rose is pink diamond
I believe that our pearl is actually white diamonds pearl. Remember her gem placement and how white her skin was in the beginning of the show??? Maybe WD mistreated pearl and Rose showed her kindness
+Justin Rollins maybe after rose took pearl away from White, Pearl changed her outfit
Well, guess what?
h a h
Keep up the great work bro!
I love watching your theory videos on Steven Universe and my husband I go back and forth about the theory, were are kinda in the middle about the whole thing and we noticed a few things....one thing we did notice is yeah we believe that Rose was a general which we were able to tie back to Jasper saying that she admired her tactics in the first war; but even with that look at the Temple the Gems reside in, it looks like a fusion and we notice a gem on the head as well as the chest and her hair is made up of roses (I dont want to even get into what I think here yet, lol) and why does Rose have a shrine so were a bit stumped there seeing how the only ones who have shrines or temples seems to be the Diamonds.
Also, when pearl and Rose shows up to fight in Blue Diamonds court we couldn't help but notice that Pearl has her gem on her head which follows with White Diamond now just follow us here.... Peridot stated before that pearls were pretty much "Made to Order" and we already see that Homeworld pearls reflect their owners. What made pearl rebel? Everyone so far has a color scheme that reflects there gem now except pearl, she wears a little bit of everything? Help us fill in if you can! Keep up the great work btw :-)
To me it was Jasper who confirmed that Rose Quartz is Pink Diamond. This is a fairly odd explanation but hear me out. When Jasper describes Amethyst, Pearl, Garnet and Steven she speaks as if Rose is the only Rose Quartz.
Jasper described Pearl as "a" lost and defected pearl. "a" puny overcooked runt to describe Amethyst, and "this" shameless display to describe Garnet.
However she said "You have the power "of" Rose Quartz" rather than "You have the power "of a" Rose Quartz".
This makes me believe that Rose is not a mass produced Gem and possibly pink diamond.
That's... oddly specific... also nice profile pic, *Nice!*
Nah I don't think so
