    This was before the episode Kindergarten Kid, but that episode shows that Peridot can bubble just as Pearl Garnet Steven and Amethyst can. So if Peridots can bubble, then that does prove that she has Gem abilities. As Bubbling is a thing that all gems seem to have the power to do

    I think that the enhancers act as a sort of wand. They assist in focusing the ability. So Peri had these powers and actively used them, they're just weaker and probably need a bit more work so they're more affective.

      well u have to understand she was made to believe that and knew nothing else but she has a point it is a tactic to make weak gems stronger look at her a perfect quartz is has a low self as teem from being beat by fusion and when she fused she felt more than a quartz and she wanted to feel stronger so she went to fusions and she liked it so u can't blame her

    @tvb5509 Před 8 lety +36

    WHAT IF STEVEN GAVE PERIDOT THE GEM POWER SHE NEEDED TO USE ABILITIES! She's admitted to using his toothbrush, and when Lapis was cracked it disabled some of her abilities. Gems get their energy from their gems, so having a cracked gem means you are missing a lot of energy. Steven's spit and Rose's tears heal those cracks, restoring the lost energy with it. Steven puts the toothbrush in his mouth like how he put the juice straw in his mouth that fixed Connie's eyesight.

    potentially shape shifting and maybe fusion, BUT i dont think she'd have a weapon. Metal bending is her weapon, as water is lapis'

    • @kingv-raptor840
      @kingv-raptor840 Před 8 lety +3

      Lapis creates water that is why it is her weapon. Peridot doesn't create any metals that is why she can should be able to use a weapon.

    • @Hughs
      @Hughs Před 8 lety +12

      lapis does not create water. the only water she's summoned from her gem is for her wings, whether thats created or stored is a different story. she controls water.
      directly from the wiki Ian Jones-Quartey has confirmed that Lapis Lazuli's hydrokinesis is her weapon. As of yet, there is no known limit to this ability, and Lapis can create anything she imagines, from giant hands and shackles to clones of the Crystal Gems armed with ice weapons and even turning the entire ocean into a space elevator.
      Lapis can also summon water from her gemstone to form functional wings. Whether this water is previously stored in her gemstone's pocket dimension or generated by her is unknown. Her wings have also been seen taking the form of hands in "Chille Tid".
      she's never used water that wasn't already around, again, exception wings, but that may be stored somehow

    • @IchiroFuma
      @IchiroFuma Před 8 lety +7

      +Lamp Nine it could be that she forms wings like that by condensing the moisture in the air around her. There would be ample moisture in the air around beach city, making it easier than say, in a desert.

    • @kingv-raptor840

    @FosterBaba Před 8 lety +57

    Peridot is so weak, even compared to Pearl who was made to only be a servent. I can't see Peridot having the strength to shape shift considering how much it takes out of Steven. More than overcooked, I feel like all era 2 gems are nutrient deprived. Which doesn't necessarily take away their abilities, but keeps them from having the energy to use most of them. That being said, could Steven's healing spit fix that?

      +Khayre Tyler She also said it would be bad, even for her. Stretching their bodies takes energy, but Steven doesn't just rely on his gem for energy. He needs rest and food. Stretching out for to long could do damage that might be irreparable because he's half human.

    • @FosterBaba
      @FosterBaba Před 8 lety +1

      +Sardonyx Su fan 4 life With doritos and cheetos I can't believe that simply because peridot seems to lack more basic gem powers besides just shape shifting. she lacks super strength, can't jump high. if it weren't for her metal powers, she'd be as useful as any other human, minus combat skills like connie has. it's more than just suggestion keeping peridot from shape shifting

  • @NikoKun
    @NikoKun Před 8 lety +12

    I totally agree with you. Actually, when Peridot first showed her metal powers, I said to myself, "that's how she moved her fingers before!" it makes total sense that Homeworld would do this, convince them that they're powerless, and that their limb enhancers are the source of their abilities.

  • @wingedadrian
    @wingedadrian Před 8 lety +11

    I've thought about the whole "limb enhancers are tele (or ferro)-kinetically controlled" thing myself, and it makes sense. All of it, actually. It's rather of a placebo effect when you get down to it. "You can't use powers because you don't have any". I've been told that over and over from the moment of creation, so I guess my diamond is right, I don't have powers. "Here, these are limb enhancers that only work for peridots like you. The fingers are specially controlled but I can't tell you specifically how to use them. Just think about moving your fingers and it will work." Well hot dog, it did! Thanks, Diamond! ... Then if they were to lose their limb enhancers (either stolen from them or they mess up and Homeworld snatches them back), the peridots would also believe as a matter of course that their powers are gone. If one peridot showed an inclination of using her ferrokinetic abilities without her enhancers, I feel like Homeworld would bubble if not shatter her.

  • @cerulean22b69
    @cerulean22b69 Před 6 lety +9

    this makes sense. ever since Peridot revealed that she thought she didn't have powers i figured it was a lie homeworld was telling her and perhaps all Peridots just to keep them in line. makes me feel sad for Peridot, she really thought her limb enhancers were all she was, and without them its no wonder she felt so scared and lost. its why she had such a dramatic reaction to Amethyst taking her tablet away, because that tablet was like new limb enhancers to her.

  • @juni2583

  • @dr.arielfinch4316
    @dr.arielfinch4316 Před 8 lety +13

    There's something bugging me about Earthlings.
    HUGE SPOILERS.
    Jasper, an Earth-grown Quartz was able to fuse momentarily with what I can only assume is also an Earth-grown *corrupted* Quartz, then starts to experience corruption herself. It's implied (or even confirmed, can't remember) that fusions are both gems working in tandem and using some kind of bond to stay fused. It's even directly shown that they share thoughts. So what if Jasper experiencing corruption is a direct result of seeing/hearing/feeling those thoughts from the corrupted Quartz?
    She even says, "I've been fighting from the second I broke free of the Earth's Crust! Because of what YOU did to my colony! Because of what YOU did to my planet! Because of what YOU did to my Diamond!"
    Steven responds, "I- Y-Yellow Diamond?"
    Jasper answers, "My Diamond! YOUR Diamond! PIIINK DIAMOOOOND!!!" and then completes the corruption (or so I think from what I just saw ;-;).
    I don't think that was just *her* thoughts, though. I know Jasper hates Rose, but it seems like the contact with that corrupted Quartz sent her over the edge and.. let's face it, caused brain damage.
    What do you think?

  • @TheBlueCrystal770
    @TheBlueCrystal770 Před 8 lety +7

    I've had a whole theory about how the Diamonds aren't as powerful as they may seem, peridot says their perfect beings with no flaws. But it makes sense that they want you to think those things to fear them and not rise against them. And we see blue diamond running away from a battle that would seem easy to her. Just a theory

  • @ferociousfeind8538
    @ferociousfeind8538 Před 8 lety +7

    I'd like to politely disagree with Peridot's supposed shapeshifting capabilities. While they may seem similar, shapeshifting and reforming are fairly different. reforming is creating a semi-permanent avatar to interact with the outside world, while shapeshifting is the temporary ability to change that permanent form into something less sustainable for a shorter amount of time. The Centipeedle saw Steven freaking out, and readjusted its permanent form into something less threatening, before the larger form takes full effect. Amethyst temporarily shapeshifts into a bird, a very unsustainable avatar, as she already has a permanent, humanoid form.
    Peridot is capable of changing her permanent form via reforming after being poofed, but incapable of temporarily changing her form into anything less sustainable.

  • @sumuhsu5912

  • @jacobedwinolano431
    @jacobedwinolano431 Před 8 lety +9

    ABOUT THE SHAPE-SHIFTING PART.. I HAVE A SORTA-THEORY
    so gems have mass manipulation abilities or something of that kind..
    they may rearrange the electrons/neutrons/protons to their bidding to morph their form
    or transform all the surrounding matter into pure energy and then morphing the pure energy into matter
    or they could "make" matter from the void which is very, very unlikely
    all of which can have a bright light byproduct (why they shine a white light when they form)
    but then... in the shorts, they said that they were like holograms but with mass..
    so it may be the second and/or third..? i don't know.. but the fact remains that light IS massless
    so all gems have this mass manipulating property (whatever you want to call it) embedded in the gem itself..
    so there are sub-branches of this property depending on the application/time
    - REFORMING (or forming if it is the first time the gem form) this happens when a gem (the gem itself) forms a
    body (it forms the mannequin-ish frame.. or the mannequin is kinda like programmed to each specific gem)
    - POST-FORMING (or commonly known as shape-shifting) is the ability to change your form with a defined body
    as to peridot not having this ability.. it could be that some standard are needed to be met to attain this ability;
    either the resources in making the gem, programming the gem to have/not to have post-forming abilities,
    or it can be that peridot just can't shape-shift because she is new to the idea (could be a psychological thing)
    or that she is a little "rusty"
    - FUSION is a post-forming activity with other gems (peridot having the capability to fuse is up to debate)
    - SUMMONING is a kind of reform after you reform (if that makes sense) examples are the gem weapon summoning
    my theory to summoning is that data of the subject is stored in the gem (or memory idk) and that the gem just
    manipulates the matter and stuff to form things.. but about pearl summoning lapis and her mirror... can gems store
    other gems?? plus.. i think the ability to bubble is part of summoning (but steven has a broader skill set either
    from rose practicing bubbling all the time in her past life that she can widen the use of bubbling and this skill
    embedded in her gem, passed the ability to steven (i theorize that this is how steven can summon rose's shield,
    because the shield's data is stored in rose's gem)... so bismuth makes weapons and the crystal gems stores them
    in their gem, from what i understand
    plus i also believe that lion's pocket dimension is kinda like their ability... a REALLY professional technique
    of shape-shifting to the point you can create your own world (rose's room could be subject to this)
    not connected the theory i made.. what if the bright light (or "song") that the diamonds used to the gems in the war
    has something to do with the bright light emitted in reforming gems??
    and is corruption like a virus? (from the episode earthlings)
    PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG WITH THIS

    @RossOriginals Před 8 lety +71

    Hang on, hang on, I still stand by the idea that Pearl and Peridot are unable to shapeshift.
    Why?
    Imagine you're a student making an animated film, but you only have the resources to animate existing models rather than make new ones, because your computer isn't good enough or you don't have the software for making new models, so all you can do is re-texture or possibly tweak the existing model you're given and animate it, which means all your characters look the same except for having different colours... well it's not a perfect analogy but you see what I'm saying? Maybe the resource shortage means that new Gems are made without the "software" to shapeshift (for lack of a better term).

      Only her clothes, that's like re-texturing your model. She always refuses to change her overall body-shape.

    • @AJUniverse
      @AJUniverse  Před 8 lety +9

    • @RossOriginals
      @RossOriginals Před 8 lety +2

      AJ Universe
      Did you not get the analogy with only being able to make small tweaks to your model?
      Okay, so forget the student animator.
      You know the game "The Sims" has a big custom-content-making community? A lot of people will just make clothes designs because that's the easiest thing to make, you get software with the game that lets you do that, but making custom objects requires proper modelling software, so I would equate changing clothes to making new Sim outfits and changing shape to making new custom models. Similarly it's possible that some Gems lack the "software" component or the processing power to change their overall shape, so can only build upon their generic mannequin and make small changes to their overall design, like making a new outfit for your Sim character.
      Actually that analogy was probably even worse and probably needed even more specific knowledge...
      Well anyway.
      I'm just saying it's a plausible alternative, not necessarily saying your notion is invalid.

    • @AJUniverse
      @AJUniverse  Před 8 lety +10

      ***** Okay, but SU isn't the sims. In SU the Gems generate clothing as part of their bodies. That clothing isn't just a texture. It has depth to it. And they are only able to change it using their shapeshifting power, or by reforming. Pearl has changed her clothing without reforming. Therefor she can shapeshift. It don't matter how many times you compare that act to something else, in the lore of the series, it is shapeshifting.

  • @thethirdminescateeryerboi9698

    • @johnathannapier6894
      @johnathannapier6894 Před 8 lety +7

      Possibly, but my theory on corruption is this:
      It's based on emotion. Emotions are powerful in the Gem world. Steven started learning how to control and expand his powers through emotion. The emotional reaction Peridot had over her tablet unlocked her powers. When Ruby and Sapphire refused on the ship and was happy to be reunited she put up a much better fight against Jasper. Jasper's anger fueled her power one minute but her pride brought her down. If you recall right before Jasper corrupted she said something about no Gem wanting to stay fused with her. That is it! Depression, real sorrow and abandonment. The feeling that her purpose was lost consumed her. A Crystal Gem understands they have the freedom to choose their own purpose, however, Home World Gems serve a specific purpose only. Those are the two paths a Home World Gem could follow. If they realize they can serve their own purpose (be their own master) then they defeat the chance of corruption. If they succumb to the downward spiral of losing their purpose then they begin to corrupt. That weapon that was used might not have been a song that causes corruption. It may have been a song that ressonates a certain frequency to shatter Gems. This would have killed countless Gems, Home World or Crystal Gem alike. Those who were left witnessed everyone they knew shatter. Garnet and Pearl had Rose to look up to and though they may have been sad they knew their purpose was to help who they could find. Home World Gems that survived would have been lonely and wander aimlessly trying to find others unable to fulfill their purpose and filled with grief they would have over the thousands of years corrupted. Just a theory... Thanks for reading.

      Oh, Hi Senpai. But consider also that (in that episode) we learn that she both likes and wears clothes on special occasions. She 'may' have just been talking about - wearing one of steven's shirt. Plus she seamed confused about the symbols "Where am I going to put it" as though it would have to be added to her current appearance, not replacing the existing logo.
      Chances are this 'uniform' is just what all Peridot's wear, and she's never even considered having anything different until declaring herself 'crystal gem'. And just cause she's willing to - doesn't necessarily mean she 'knows' how...

    • @dannieltaylor5833
      @dannieltaylor5833 Před 8 lety +10

      There exists one hole in this theory: The Rubies from Hit the Diamond. While it is theoretically possible that they were "cutting loose" while away from homeworld, I find it kind of unlikely. They all are clearly rubies (same color, similar hair shape, same build) but they had clearly different appearances. It stands to reason that all gems are unique, even if Homeworld forces them to have certain traits (i.e. diamond insignias).

    • @kirstyshadowdancer5095
      @kirstyshadowdancer5095 Před 8 lety +1

      Danniel taylor
      I don't really say they have unique appearances. You look at them in the bubbles, end of earthlings, it's hard to see their gem placements so they look similar. They Do have different personalities, they stand differently, talk differently, move differently. But when they were playing baseball - there were a few times when I wasn't sure who was on first base (pun intended). They're dressed and look like - well. Soldiers. Troops. They're not intended to have individuality and the idea is implied that most lower ranking gems aren't given that luxury.

    • @dannieltaylor5833
      @dannieltaylor5833 Před 8 lety +1

      While, to some degree, I can see where you're coming from, but there are some on the team of rubies that are very easy to pick out, disregarding the one that I call "Terminator Ruby" because of the gem-eye and her attitude, you have one with a visor, one with suspenders, and one with no black "uniform", all of which are pretty unique.

      that's not how it works, also amethysts are formed due to them being exposed to radiation giving them their violet color. which means, when amethyst was in the ground she was close and more likely exposed to an irradiated element under her and seeing as how she was left in the ground longer than other quartz gems it caused her to become overcooked. so she's not incomplete, more like the opposite.

    I think that she was using her powers from the very beginning but Homeworld gave her limb enhancers to make it look like limb enhancers are doing the trick - not she herself. So when she lost limb enhancers she thought she has no power because she thought she just simply couldn't. It turned to be false when in episode Too Short To Ride she tries to use her power in act of desperation even if she knows it won't work... and it worked.

    I actually had that theory as well. because it seems to me that she concentrates on whatever she is controlling, such as the tablet or her limb enhancers. she used the powers lightly simply associating the powers with the enhancers and never realized it was her own ability. but without the limb enhancers which probably increased the force of the pherokenisis, she feels like it's a new thing to learn, but explains why she can do it so easily in the episode earthlings. she is reacting to danger unexpectedly and unintentionally like when she first used the blaster on her limb enhancers.

  • @rorywolf9482
    @rorywolf9482 Před 7 lety +2

    there was a theory i read a while back, that it was possible that peridot got her powers due to being in the bathroom for so long. She admited to using Stevens toothbrush, which could have possiblly made her gem more powerful or giving her powers or giving her both. there was so much of stevens DNA in the bathroom, and we've already seen proof of this.
    peridot should have been cracked by now, she's fallen off of cliffs, been crushed and even more.
    peridots and amethyst have the same hardness, and amethyst fell off of an even shorter cliff that peridot, and her gem was cracked (I think that episode was called indirect kiss) and peridots has never been cracked.
    plus, peridot gets her metal ability after being in that bathroom.

    • @AJUniverse
      @AJUniverse  Před 7 lety +1

      That's not how Steven's healing powers work. If it were, all of the Gems would be equally invincible with the amount of time they spend around him. Amethyst's damaged gem would have just sealed right up because she had some residual Steven skin cells on her.
      Amethyst's gem landed directly on a large stone. Peridot landed on sand. Peridot herself said that Peridots' holographic bodies are unusually durable. The visor over her gem? That's part of her unusually durable holographic body.
      And again, as I said in the video, Peridot has always had Gem powers. Just forming a body is a Gem power. The crew has said, and it has been made clear in the series, that Gems come out of the ground with all of their capabilities already available to them. Since Gems don't grow or develop physically. They just might need to learn how to access some of them. If Peridot has metal powers, she's had them since she came out of the ground.
      tl;dr That's not how Steven's power works, that's not how Gem powers work, that theory is quantifiable wrong.

      Maybe it's because Peridot isn't in the right state of mind to do so. If +AJ Universe is right, and Peridot really was controlling her limb enhancements on her own, than that means that the entire time Peridot had them, she was taught that it was the limbs' doing; that she was just tapping into the machine, rather than the machine tapping into her. I think that if she ever realizes that it was never the machine, she will be able to control any metal and not just a few kinds and mostly in snap decisions.

    peridot seemed unaware that she was reforming, if she isn't aware of reforming than she wouldn't be able to make conscious changes to her form, and if she couldn't make changes to her form while reforming than she definitely wouldn't be able to shapeshift, or maybe even make a weapon but we've heard nothing about that

  • @shadowofthesilver
    @shadowofthesilver Před 8 lety +2

    I felt like Peridot was lied to about her powers because era 2 gems have much stronger powers. It's been stated that Lapis' "gem weapon" is her water abilities, so it makes sense that Peridot's metalbending is her "gem weapon". If this is seen as too powerful, Homeworld might cover it up to, as you said, try to halt another rebellion. I mean, once Peridot learns to control her powers, she could take down entire fleets possibly, since spaceships are most likely metal. That's an ability that would be hard to combat.

  • @l50I50l
    @l50I50l Před 8 lety +5

    I disagree with your first argument. Gems are a lot like computers. Most Gems we have seen up until now have had the ability to reshape themselves however they like as long as they can sustain that from. It was one of their apps, so to say. That doesn't have to mean that every Gem has to have that ability. Especially after the war.
    Not every computer has Firefox, for example.
    And look at it from the Diamonds' point of view. Gem technology is far enough advanced now and can make up for shape-shifting. And limb-enhancers are also more powerful because they have additional functions the Gem doesn't have to sustain. So why waste resources on powers Gems do not need? Especially if they are Gems who specialize in this new technology?
    And shape-shifting is basically Changing Who You Are, which is what led to the rebellion in the first place. A Gem didn't do what it was made to do and rebelled. It makes sense that the Diamonds' would want to take that ability away from new Gems to prevent that from happening again. It makes sense that they'd get a predetermined form instead. It's not like there is something like Gem fashion (at least not yet).
    Supporting this is the fact that Peridot looks exactly the same before and after she was poofed and reformed. Of course, she has to look the same, she has to wear a uniform and everything. But there wasn't even a little difference.
    And if Gem Weapons are an extension of shape-shifting (if you didn't say it, I did), it makes sense that Peridot hasn't learned how to make one of her own yet. She hasn't even asked to learn how, or tried it on her own.
    Fusion, though, shouldn't be a problem because Peridot can just "borrow" the shape-shifting ability of Ameth--, I mean, her fusion partner. Whoever they may be.

  • @alexanderpolete3801
    @alexanderpolete3801 Před 7 lety +1

    I think Amethyst actual ended up using MORE resources. Bismuth called her "Deep cut" which is a technique used in gem cutting to give the gem more color at the cost of cutting away more of the crystal (paralleling color to power and size to... size), which is why her shapeshifting is exceptional.

  • @alisonbrei4789
    @alisonbrei4789 Před 8 lety +1

      Shapeshifting/Fusion/Physical construct (a body) are just speculation but it's based logical context. If you can make a body and you can make alterations to that body well I hate to break it to you but that's shapeshifting.

    • @davidreed6056
      @davidreed6056 Před 8 lety

      Summoning weapons and regenerating their physical forms, shapeshifting, and hings similar to those are all things that Gems can do, some with actual weapons, some with elemental manipulation, and some with both. Rubies have been shone to be able to manipulate heat and summon weapons from their Gems, Sapphire uses her future vision and ice manipulation, Lapis uses Water, Amethyst and Quartz soldiers in general have the spin dash like attacks, weapons, and quite possibly other abilities like Rose and her healing tears. Peridots are made to be intellegent, so quite possibly they are made to be scientists, Pearls are made-to-order Gems that are customised to.their.owners will, that means that a Pearl can have their powers other than regeneration amd shapeshifting away, Bismuths are forgers that can make anything from weapons to complex structures, they can survive temperatures as hot as magma, and have shapeshifting abilities. There are many things that are the same with each and every Gem the ability to manipulate their physical form, if the Gem weapon can be made from parts of the body like Garnet's gauntlets or Bismuth's hammer hands then summoning a weapon is incredibly close to manipulating the physical forms appearence. I lost myself half way.through this so if any of this doesn't make sense that's why.

    • @thermophile1695
      @thermophile1695 Před 8 lety

      +David Reed
      Let me provide a counterpoint:
      Bismuth's shapeshift ability appears to be slightly different than that of most gems. She seems to be able to harden parts of her to serve as weapons. As hammers, this is at least a feasible extension if normal shapeshifting, but Bismuth is able to form her arms into blades. In order to make an effective blade, something has to be extremely hard, much harder than gems can be normally.
      If Bismuth can have far stronger shapeshifting, then why can't Peridots have weaker shapeshifting abilities?

    • @zzmarquisduncan467
      @zzmarquisduncan467 Před 8 lety

      Because bismuth was a bismuth. You must have heard this next comment at least 30 times on this page, but hopefully it clicks this time. All gems are unique and have different abilities. Bismuth's were born with that technique to harden her body part is because shes a bismuth. Which, not to be a jerkoff off to you, should have went without saying its 'understandable' because Bismuth is a Black Smith.

    • @thermophile1695
      @thermophile1695 Před 8 lety

      zzmarquisduncan467
      How does that contradict anything I said? Bismuths have a different shapeshifting ability then most gems, then it is obviously possible to have stronger or weaker shapeshifting.
      Unless you're arguing that Bismuth's hardening ability is completely separate from shapeshifting, which is possible, even if I'm not convinced. If you think about it, gems can change the physical attributes of their body when they shapeshift. When amethyst turns herself into a cat, for example, her entire body has hair, and I'm pretty sure she's more elastic when she turns into a ball. I can't be completely certain, of course, but I'm pretty sure that whatever a gem turns into would have slightly different textures and physical properties.
      Bismuths seem to simply have a drastically heightened version of this ability, giving the required abilities for blacksmithing and construction.

    I always questioned peridot's abilities; she couldn't apparently summon a weapon, but when they first visited the moon base in "it could have been great", she was able to project a beam of light, so I knew she had gem abilities. I was suspicious of what abilities she has though. After all, in "the kindergarten kid" she says 'we peridots are hard to poof'

    This is likely because to Homeworld, Gems that fuse or shape shift outside their perceived design is greatly frowned upon, perhaps even illegal to do. The best way to keep another uprising from ever happening again is to stupefy the populace.

    When Peridot reformed, her outfit didn't change. Maybe it doesn't have to, but every other gem has changed their appearance when reforming. So why didn't she?
    Maybe era 2 Peridots only have one specific body that can't be transformed. And maybe Peridot didn't know she would be unable to create a new outfit with a star.

      i think she just didn't know that she could, or she did know that she could but was sure that if she did she would be punished
      or maybe she didn't even realize she was reforming, because she continued doing what she was doing before she poofed and didn't realize that she had been poofed

    • @silverYolo
      @silverYolo Před 8 lety

      +Liam Hassall not at all.

      Doggy Tooner If that were that I was trying to say with the title, I would say it. The title sets the stage for exactly what the video itself says. Click-bait is when a title or thumbnail contains buzz words or images that do not pertain to the video content, and are only there to bait people into clicking. What I did is called coming up with an eye-catching title.

    @Crystal_959 Před 8 lety

    well, when you shapeshift and something happens, there's always a form you revert back to. They can't hold a shape unless it's their form that they decided when the reform. It's also said that shapeshifting and maintaining a form takes energy. When a gem's form is injured, it poofs into it's gem so it can use all it's energy reforming. Not enough resources might mean Peridot doesn't have the energy to change her shape when she's already in a form.

  • @Mohamed-in8uc
    @Mohamed-in8uc Před 8 lety +1

    My theory is that Era 2 gems don't have " extra " powers is because the diamonds don't want another rebellion, specially after what happened to Pink Diamond. Peridot for example doesn't have super strength like all other gems do.

  • @lurkergggg8759
    @lurkergggg8759 Před 8 lety +1

    The clips from "Kindergarten Kid" kind of show that Peridot's form is MUCH MUCH more stationary in form than the other gems. So I can believe now that we have seen how hard it is to poof Peridot. What her form lacks in transformation ability she more than makes up for in stability and pure endurance.

  • @allison0411
    @allison0411 Před 8 lety

    Remember when Steven lost his healing abilities when Greg lied to him? If Homeworld convinces gems that they don't have powers, they might end up losing them. (Not lose them completely, but lose the ability to use them like Steven did with his healing abilities.) But Peridot's limb enhancers were everything to her, which is why when Amethyst was about to throw away the tablet (technology like the limb enhancers), it triggered Peridot's metal abilities. But for now she still doesn't know how to summon a weapon or anything.

  • @hadleydragonscales
    @hadleydragonscales Před 7 lety

    One small thing I'd like to bring up on the matter of gem weapons is that Lapis's weapon has been confirmed by one of the creators of SU to be her water manipulation abilities instead of a physical weapon that she can produce from her gem. We see this again with Sapphire and her future vision, though this maybe due to how little screen time she has outside of being fused into Garnet in a combat situation. However, we know from the episode "The Answer" that Ruby's weapon is a gauntlet, almost just manifesting as a small scale version of Garnet's dual gauntlets, leading me to believe that Sapphire may not have a gem weapon at all. My point is that I don't think physical gem weapons occur across all gem varieties, or that our Peridot *has* to have one. I'm not sure if that is the case with the era one Peridots, though. I also would like to note that one of the Rubies (Eyeball I think) in the episode "Bubbled" (I'm fairly certain) had a knife instead of a gauntlet, making me think that gem weapons can vary from not just gem type to gem type, but from specific gem to gem. Oh! One more bit of evidence that might help my case that not all gems have weapons. Bismuth. Bismuth was only shown to use her shapeshifting abilities during her sparring session with the other Crystal Gems as well as when she was adding on the modifications to the Crystal Gems' weapons. She also didn't use any sort of gem generated weapon during her fight with Steven (though I'm assuming that's because she was equipped with the Breaking-Point). Anyway, awesome video! It's theories like these that get my gears turning and makes me love this show even more! :D

    4:55 there were still plenty of nutrients and that kinda stuff for Amethyst to get, it just took a lot longer, which is why she was 'overcooked' and came out too small, but (as far as i know, I haven't watched the episode) Peridot doesn't say anything about her being overcooked, just that there weren't enough resources for her to come out right
    so they have very different situations; Amethyst had to do things more slowly but got everything she needed eventually, while Peri couldn't get everything she needed so she was pulled out of the ground as soon as she had enough to create a physical form

    I think it makes sense that lower ranked gems are lied to. I mean one major thing I'm sure many would remember in the gem war was not only was a Quartz soldier(s) fighting back but a pearl was wielding a weapon. Summoned or not that would imply that pearls can fight and since pearls are considered luxury items akin to servants and jewelry started fighting back all those key figures capable of owning a pearl which might be case by case since eyeball thinks she might get one for taking out rose, could be a disaster since if someone like sapphire who was an aristocrat could have had a pearl and sapphire isn't exactly a natural born fighter since she needed rubies for protection initially.
