Peridot calling Yellow Diamond a CLOD was the greatest development I've seen in Steven Universe.
What does clod even mean
@@patrik9328clod is a gem insult that literally means "worthless rock", even lesser than a literal pebble (the small grey rocks that life in pink diamonds rooms walls).
@@eMYNOCK sounds racist
Lmaoo right 🤣🤣🤣
43:15
Calling Rose and Pearl "friends" is the understatement of the century 😂😂
It seemed more onesided tbh. Rose was just closely affectionate where as Pearl wanted more. We also largely see Rose as someone who was continually exploring herself in many different ways, so maybe there was some point where they were basically a couple, but it must not have lasted long.
@@SilentEchoMedia No yeah for sure. I don't think Rose ever saw her as more than a friend and companion but Pearl was legitimately obsessive to the point where she idolized her and put her on the pedestal of "she can do no wrong." To the point where she was still deeply infatuated years later and anything said even remotely negative was a personal attack on her memory. Until she eventually comes to the realization that "maybe she wasn't so perfect after all." It almost seems like codependency on Pearl's end. Yikes all around and a good look at toxic relationships and friendships
the way i see it was more of a friendzoning on the part of rose. like pearl made her dedication clear but rose pretty much was like "haha, cute but we're just friends" so i would say them "just being friends" is accurate if only because i find very little to go on that they had any actually romance. it was a tale of unrequited love hence why pearl felt so betrayed when rose finally did pick someone
@@williamhallam706 I agree with that 100%. I think that's part of why she hated Greg for a long time. Because in her eyes he came out of nowhere and is the reason Rose didn't choose her, even though there's never really any competition and we never actually SEE Rose make any hints or advances that she likes Pearl like that at all, it's all one-sided.
GURL.
THEYRE GIRLFRIENDS.
"NOOOOO ME TORTA"best line right there😂
for real 😂
YESSSS
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSẞS

Erm, actually, it’s Mí 🤓
Holy crap that Steven Universe spinoff is actually so insanely good
They tackle like the trauma this child had to go through and how to deal with it or accept it. So wholesome.
it was mid tf you mean
@@isjosh8524yes your face
Yeah, I loved it because Steven was so positive and happy, and then as a teenager he's feeling emotions he's not used to feeling. Wondering things about his life and his past, like how would things have been if he had been raised differently, trying to figure out what he's feeling and why, I feel like it's super relatable because we all go through these feelings at some point; learning to cope with feelings of negativity, depression, anger. Figuring out the answers "why" to things the best we can, so we can move forward. Finding our place in the world and in other's lives. It was hard to watch Steven like that, but just so damn REAL. It was so fulfilling.. oh and the Volleyball episode had me cryyying at the end, because I related to Pearl SO much... when Volleyball asked her how she stopped the pain, I whispered my answer just before she said hers... "I didn't" because I knew what she went through, and sometimes the pain doesn't go away. You just learn to accept it and be okay with it, and still move on.
@@isjosh8524It could’ve been better if it wasn’t underfunded and cut short. Not the fault of the creators. Still a great story nonetheless.

"let's run into this corner! "
"Oh no!! we're cornered!! "
made me laugh so much 😭😭
38:51 😂😂
And peridot is silly😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lol
38:51
Who knew being in a corner meant you could get cornered
Not me
No peridot is just an idiot
1:18:31 "Blue Diamond uses her crying power again, but Lapis Resists."
And drops the coldest, most badass line of the entire show:
"I've felt worse..."
That's my all time favorite moment in the entire show!
Yes your correct
YELLOW DIAMOND SQUISHED STEVEN?!
@@Gnarpyboi He survived the Gulag tho
@@GameRexxx I KNOW
The fact that garnet deflected the lightning that could have killed steven really impresses me with her future visiom, it's like ultra instinct😂
'NoOoOoO"
"Me ToRtAaAa"
13:18
nah i'm dying rn 💀
Steven struggling to accept change really hits hard. He was a kid who had to grow up so fast to the point when he finally has the time to be freed from responsibilities, everyone he knows are has grown and going down their own paths. While he's stuck behind. The thoughts he has been holding back for so long came out.
You realize that even though he's a teenager, Steven is still a kid by heart. But his character grew when he admitted he needed help and time away. I guess thats why some people don't like the spin-off. Because it tackles real life problems in a more deeper way.
I honestly think the Spin-Off was a nice touch, cause after all the dust settled, Steven is literally still just a kid, even if he has saved the world, and often times a lot of other stories don't actually deal with what happens after it's all said and done.
Benjaminisagoodfriendtothebestofourabilitytobeagreatfriendofoursand
I like that they made it essential to show what so much trauma does to you once you settle down, once you leave survival mode. And especially how it starts showing the labor of its poisoned roots now he's an older teen.
"Children who are exposed to abuse and trauma may develop what is called 'a heightened stress response'. This can impact their ability to regulate their emotions, lead to sleep difficulties, lower immune function, and increase the risk of a number of physical illnesses throughout adulthood."
Like with my own trauma, sure there were effects even as a child, behavioural, anxiety that led me to chest pains and s*... But once I was around 15, that's when depression really started hitting, panic attacks, insomnia, lots of symptoms related to anxiety that really f* you up. And as I aged and got into a safer circumstance, my health seemed to lash out, like Steven's.
It feels ridiculous for me to experience such intense anxiety attacks or/and insomnia from things that aren't dangerous, or an attack on my life, after what I've been through in the past. Emotional deregulation, unexpected triggers 🤷♀️ this felt very real, although it was resolved too quickly.
Also, I feel for Steven. He got his fun times robbed, and now everything's settled and everyone he's helped have figured their stuff out, he's losing them to their future instead of getting to appreciate the peaceful times, he's lost his purpose and he lost human formative years. So there he goes, finally off to be a human
Just like Finn from Adventure Time 😮❤
Spinel❌
Spinle✅
Steven being rose quartz which is actually pink diamond is the single most discombobulating, bamboozling and flabbergasting yet shocking plot twists ever
Edt: tbh I thought everyone would think it was a joke
I have digested less convoluted reveals from final fantasy, like man that was a will turn of events in Steven universe ngl
the words are quite exquisite
i was so vindicated lol i was a believer from the beginning
I do love the fact that it all FUSES together 😂.....get it pls
did you get the joke
Really glad people are making recaps like this, there are so many shows that I feel like I would have enjoyed but just never could justify the time needed to watch them. On some level, I feel like I'm missing out, but I tend to need to constantly stop in the middle of things for parenting or other responsibilities. Even after getting a sort of "medical retirement", there just isn't enough hours in the day being a single dad and being able to at least somewhat understand why people like a show I haven't had time to watch myself makes me feel a bit more in the loop with others.
I suggest watching some with your kid(s). I do that with my kid & she enjoys it a lot. With adult shows, maybe you can find time during breaks or at night to watch a show here and there. I hate that I missed out on so many shows & so that’s how I have been catching up on some of them.
How ready Greg was to charm more diamonds always gets me like BRO YOU ALREADY GOT ONE HALF GEM KID, YOU DON'T NEED MORE!
Bro he wants more
"Hey dad, why is my sister 18 feet tall and blue"
@@bluebros1813 "Well son, when a 40 foot tall woman who can control emotions and a man love eachother very much"
This show is really comforting and you really get connected with the characters through they'r stories. To be honest the ending episode's always get me, when Steven breaks down, because he's scared of change it's hard not to feel bad since you know all the things he has went through. Im surprised how a silly little children's show can get a person this invested in it.
“silly little children’s show” is a major insult
@@michaelalvarado5057ong
Your pfp is the same as the pfp me and my gf are matching
@@michaelalvarado5057...one of the first episodes involved hucking a fridge full of ice cream sandwiches at a monster to defeat it. Another was Steven using his turned sentient underwear to defeat another monster.
It's fair to call it a silly cartoon because it IS a silly cartoon. Even the later episodes have weird silly things in them, it just starts having more serious undertones.
A lot of cartoons do this unless they are specifically designed to be practically brain dead.
greg really has universal rizz. he rizzed up one of the 4 perfect gems in the universe and he didn’t even know it
And then he went on to rizz up another one
Who?
@@alexplays3257Pink Diamond
Wdym 4?
@kimaandkynlee3850 Small spoiler if you haven't finished the show:
Rose Quarts isn't an actual gem, but a disguise taken by Pink Diamond after she faked her own shattering in order to save earth.
"Steven stops amethyst by smacking her glasses off" Bruh thats garnet
34:09
My interpretation when watching was that Greg started to feel like Rose saw him more like a plaything than a partner. Greg, in turn, came to terms with the fact that she's not a regular person either. They were worlds apart. It was interesting to see
She did. 'I never thought id be finding you quite this entertaining' - Rose Quartz
It’s so cool to see the full story. And to hear them. I watched this show overtime with my completely deaf cousin at their house. They never had the sound on. And I didn’t complain. Just read subtitles and watched along. They all sound so different then I thought they would. I liked the show a lot. Never got to see the end. Thanks for this full recap,
Why didn’t they put the sound on knowing you could hear? They could still have left the subtitles on…
@@naiquannasharp1993 was a busy house. It wasn't just the two of us there. Most of the time. I didn't mind it. I was older, and wasn't too invested at first, but overtime I grew attached
Yea and then the show become shit.
@@GodChaos333how did it being a busy house affect the sound
the first few episodes of steven universe are just something else, they're pretty, meaningful, Intresting, engaging, beautiful, just completely perfect.
I agree to that (I dislike cat hands my Gawd 😂).... Honestly it got... Convoluted to me after season one.
@@SpeedWayDre i like every episode of steven universe but i think that one has to be my least favorite one because it was just horrifying to watch lol
So beautiful…
@@Idkanymorelol. I liked the entire franchise. Including that episode.
@@janhobson6904 yea i like every episode like i like that the cat episode is where he somewhat learned to shape shift, it was just a horrific sight 😭
him calling lapis aqua just killed me every time, otherwise great vid lmao
One of if not the best channels on CZcams, you deserve high praise my friend!
*[This is gonna be a fun hour...]*
Hi
Hi
Hello
WHO IS THIS PERIDOT5XG
I can't believe it, it's the great and loveable Peridot!
I will never understand how humans and gems can procreate.
Fusing with the reproductive parts necessary like eggs or sperm
It's a gemussy 😂😂
One theory I heard was Rose shape shifted herself a human reproductive system in order to do it, though I guess because she couldn’t recreate the gem it just ended up giving Steven her own.
@@stevenmattrell3448 kinda hard to make a diamond outta thin air lol
Nanomachines
Out of all the villians character development i loved Jasper's the most. Hers was so emotional. I wish there was a bit more than the comedic worship scene and maybe Amythest and Jasper would've dated..
I see them more as sisters but you do you.
I love this. I cannot watch full blown episodes right now without feeling impatient for many reasons, school and lack of time. But I do enjoy someone retelling me the story
I like this a lot
No one’s talking about amethysts completely realistic reaction to watching watermelons dig and decorate their grave
Yeah that shut cracked me up
"Those flowers are lovely!!!!"
Fun fact: ALL gems are actually female some of them just have more masculine appearances (topaz or Steven’s lawyer an example)
Another fun fact: aside from gems who’ve met humans, most from home world refer to all life forms as she/hers. Even pumpkin lol
The diamonds also refer to Steven as she
...Not really. They're genderless. They just generally use feminine pronouns.
minor correction, some of Stevens fusions use masculine or neutral pronouns, including Rainbow Quartz 2.0 (he/they) and Stevonnie(they/them) as confirmed by Rebecca Sugar
Hm I thought they didnt have a gender. Thought I read that before. But damn they really want no men
@@androow1983 I mean they all go by she/her and are physically capable of getting pregnant
This whole video brings back so many childhood memories. I never watched the last season and the movie and subsequent spinoff, but I’m excited to rewatch the entire series again including the movie and spin-off.
Really great breakdown of the series. Steven Universe wasn't perfect but it did a lot of good. I've always had some appreciation for it.
This series is amazing but like why dose he say spinel that way
Garnet and Jasper Fighting each other had a very epic song which i absolutely loved back in the day when i was young.
What’s the name of the song?
@@daisyding2773 I honestly don't remember rn but if you search it up on yt as "Garnet and Jasper fighting song" or smth like that it'll probably show up.
@@awkwardghost_8253 it's called 'stronger than you' i think
@@glitchingela736 Correctomundo
44:48 “Jasper and Aqua!” Did you forget Lapis’s name or are you trying to see if anyone’s paying attention?
It’s driving me nutsssss lmaoo
This has definitely been bothering me
he also calls aquamarine lapis at 1:07:04
Mr. Universe when Blue and Yellow show up is like hey Steven want a couple of siblings? 😂
The better call saul theme when the lawyer came on made my die of laughter
1:02:03 seeing Greg looking at an animator drawing Himself is too Hilarious.
i just realised this now, the giant murals of the diamonds show the amount of planets under their rule, look at the pink diamond, only one colony, earth
love you man, thanks for making this.. it's been years since i last watched my fav show of all time
thank you for bringing back nostalgia, i still remember coming back from school. turning on the tv and immediately changing it to cartoon network to watch Steven universe . :)
Made me cry as a child then still makes me cry to this day.
😢😅😊😂😂❤❤❤
Steven and Connie’s fan made family at the end looks amazing, they have a beautiful child.
I was wondering what was with the thumbnail.
That is a rollercoaster of emotions and to be honest I nearly cried at the end 😅 All and all great video keep doing what your doing!
Seeing this makes me wanna rewatch the show. Despite the inner Fandom shot n the behind the scenes drama...the show itself is a wonderful piece of media that explores a Lot of serious and relatable topics. On top of that handling them wellfor the most part. Will forever be one of my favorite shows.
i wish i could watch the actual show and movies this is such a good show i like how he actually gets older in the shows and movies rather than staying the same exact age in every episode. they give back story the whole thing is rlly nice.
I can show you how
What? Just watch the show
@@Sendittothemoonis there any where i can watch it on my phone? besies the popular streamijg apps?
in one of the eps when he was near his teen years. he stayed young for awhile. "(o.o) boy, you haven't change much at all for a little while there.."
Pink Steven just screaming "She's gone" and the ground just absolutely getting decimated felt like something straight out of Dragon Ball
Peridot calling yellow diamond a clod is my fav part 😭😭 ALSO dont even let me start on how adorable it was when garnet said i love you to steven😭😭
I can't imagine how much effort it took you to summarise it all in one video, hats off sir. You made my day and for so many others with your videos this one and the ones before
1:05:00
I really appreciate the videos you make, so don't feel bad about not having "original" things to say. Just the massive amount of work it takes to make the story easily digestible is enough for me.
bro just calling lapis, aqua for 10 mins strait

Did anyone else cry at the last episode? I’m a 26 year old man and watched it twice and couldn’t help but tear up both times. It’s a really deeply emotional cartoon.😅
Same
Hah try that but rewatch it almost 6 times and get really sad because it ended and the only continuation is just to watch comics about steven universe and then cry wishing we would get a continuation but its never gonna happen because stevens in college now, now dont mind me im just gonna cry thinking that steven grew up faster than me 😃👍
Same
Same
43:20 the meme gonna be that lol 😂
Lol
"If every pork chop were perfect we wouldn't have hotdogs-"
*loud light cannon noise*
15:48 they call garnet amethyst
44:50, 45:19, 46:47, 48:34 they call lapis aqua
1:21:03 they call blue diamond lapis
First time seeing this show I thought it was going to be a boring kids show. Then the story continued again and again, that's when I realized the writers were creating a story that wasn't going to skip. once it got to season 2 I was hooked and became emotionally invested.
Movie was ok, songs were good.
Steven Universe Future hit me the hardest because it resonated with me the most.
You should do a story overview of Amphibia & The Owl House
M
M
Dude they need to do a show of just the straight up gem wars that would amazing
Thanx for taking your time making this video loved it
Him calling lapis aqua at 46:47 makes me mad because my friend used to call her that all the time and that’s what it reminds me of 😭
When Jasper showed up, I knew that the show was getting much more serious.
I wish Steven Universe could come back with a new season I loved it so much and can't imagine it ending forever 😢
like maybe we can get new story about the past or maybe new monsters like emerald
i hope so 😢
same, I really want more episodes with Spinel or the Diamonds.
Thanks for the vid! There were some episodes ive never seen before a while back "The episodes airing back then were weird and i missed a few" and i can actually piece them up!
Thx for the Clarence one btw
1:15:40
That pearl within a pearl thing might sound nonsensical, but if you take a look at it from a metaphorical view, it makes sense, atleast to me
When far below the facades and different aspects of your personality, there's a part of you that wants to speak the truth
But it gets buried again and again by other things, excuses of all manners
Like there's no real reason for the important thing to be said, like it's not going to mean or change anything or that noone has to know
Sometimes, somewhere, a part of you believes you still need to say it anyways
man… im just happy, as a person who thinks deep and enjoy different shows and their lore? that the creators gave us fans a fusion of all four of the gang.. Obsidian goes hard !!
Great job brother ❤ thank you so much for this one
I stopped right before you were gonna recap the movie and watched it and it was fire. also luv the vid
“Pearl really really really loved rose”
The next episode: “We need to talk.”
god remembering day to day week to end waiting for that final season to drop is really good , love the show , i hope we got another one like this
Great Job! Thanks for making this video.
I haven’t seen a lot of this show, but after watching this I can definitely see why lots of people love it. It sounds really awesome.
watching this show and growing up with little to no physical affection, while its shown often in the show made me uncomfortable at first until i thought about it and learned that it was a normal amount and physical affection and it was something i needed to work on. because of that this will always be on of my favorite shows
I'm just now noticing towards the end of the video how the crystal gems all have the star on each of them. Steven's shirt, Pearl's jacket, Amethyst's pants, and Garnet's glasses as well as her chest piece I think. I quit watching around the time they was playing baseball with Lapis so it's nice to catch up with what I missed.
been a while since i watched steven universe and i still think its one of my all time favourites
I only saw a few shows when this first came out, and then stopped having to wait each new episodes. Thx for making this so I don't have to waste my time on it. I like the theme song.
Thank you. I was supposed to sleep to this, but you told the story so well that I just couldn't, I have seen and watched Steven universe multiple times over and over, and yet you still managed to make me watch the entire video so kudos to you Good sir!
this show was a real gem pun intended. but its also the truth I enjoyed this show from start to finish. Honestly this was one of the best shows I ever watched. very likeable characters, great character development and a fantastic story.
I started crying at the end that is why this is the best show
Fun fact the first episode with Steven sings the cookie cat song is actually a foreshadowing about Pink's story
how
This is my comfort show, it’s so good, so honest, actually real
I started tearing up at the end even tho I never got that deep into Steven Universe. Good video
Steven seeing the VHS always gets me a lil, one of the best and most emotional cartoons in the last few decades.
I never managed to finish watching this cartoon, so this video came just in time! the story kept getting better and the finale is beautiful, I loved it 🥹🩷
The fact I watched this around the beginning of the show, and though I didn't keep up with it, it's nice to go back and now look at what I missed. It's interesting, that's for certain.
1:18:11 "guess its time to worked the old universe charm", no way greg said that
Grizzler. Greg+Rizzler
Garnet-Quiet kid
Amethis or some thing-Best friend
Pearl-Nerd
Yep, this video right here done it for me, thank you so much for this Nostalgic landscape of a file
1:18:10 "guess it's time to work the old Universe charm 😅" everyone "nNO"!!!
kills me every time 🤣☠☠
43:06 “ APPERENTLY MORE THAN YOU… YOU *CLOD!* “
If you look at 37:01 you can see in the Top Left corner you can see its like a diamond. Can that be pink diamond and Steven have another pink gem?
(Just a Theory to me)
Thank you for the episode order. I'm studying serial story structure and it really helps.

Watching this video reminds me of the good times when me and my brother would sit down and just binge watch Steven Universe for HOURS until it got taken off Netflix 😢
😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😊❤❤❤❤❤
It's nostalgic how we actually waited for the movie to air in cartoon network channel back when we are still in highschool and now I forgot most of them 😔 i want to rewatch the whole show again but then i found ur channel then i found out u also made a beginning and end of this series so now I'm here 😅
Bro went from called lapis her real name to call her aqua then lapis again
Also I like how you showcase only out of context,sad and wholesome moment with sounds
It's nice to get a recap on a show I never got to fully watch. Didn't go how I had imagined (or in some ways, hoped) but nonetheless was nice to see & hear of it all
Nephrite arc especially was nice to hear the conclusion on as I only got to see the initial centipeedle part
"The episode ends with the pearls coming to terms that Rose wasn't the greatest person."
1:28:50
OH YEAH THINK?!
bro you did my favorite show justice plus this was a nioce walk down memory lane
I never watched you for, but now I love your channel. I love Steven universe.
Remember that one episode when Uncle Grandpa stars on Steven Universe?
Well good thing that one isn’t canon
So glad you made a Steven universe vidoe its one of my all time favorite cartoon shows, can you mabye do Adventure time at some point ^^
28:34 Had me rolling lmao
Loved Steve Universe so much. Such great times :D
We shouldnt cry because it ended, but rather be happy because it happened. Clichè quote, but it really fits this series
The Cornette Wrestling bit is beautiful for wrestling fans, that man is an iconic manager
