Steven Universe Future was supposed to give us answers to a lot of burning questions, but the explanations we got last week don't tell us the WHOLE story of how the Rose Quartz army came to be, or what their powers are. Thankfully Deepcut is here with some theories that may fill in the gaps.

    I like that it was explained but i mostly like that Steven consider them as sisters.
  • @ListlessLion
    It'd be cool if the Rose Quartz have all of PD's healing properties, but none of her destructive powers. They'd be kind of like projections she made of the parts of herself she wanted and pretended to be.
  • @ArgoIo
    I don't think Pearl would not have suggested such a disguise, if rose quartzes didn't exist or where not scheduled to be produced on earth.
  • @Leomoon101
    I'm glad that we finally get to see Rose Quartz get unbubbled. This was a loose end that I really wanted to see get tie up for a long time. Thanks for the likes guys!

    Actually, the most diverse gem is pearls. There’s been purple pearls, yellow pearls, blue pearls, even multicolored pearls like ours! There’s so much customization that can happen.
  • @dreamshade8123
    [they were made so I could be there to listen to their wonderful screams when I scare them]
  • @dvdb304
    I have a theory that pearl’s Spear is actually an accessory, this explains why a gem that wasn’t made for fighting has a weapon because from what we’ve seen only gems made for combat own weapons
  • @ZinrenaHalfpaw
    i like that the "human Zoo" ship looks like the sword rose quartz use during the war

    The only facts about the Rose Quartzes that can be relied on, are that: 1. They were created by Rose Quartz herself, not by or on behalf of the other Diamonds. 2. They were bubbled by or on the orders of Pink Diamond, because of the fact that they were Rose Quartzes. From the existence of her secret laboratory at the Diamonds Palace on Homeworld, we know that Pink Diamond was capable of designing and creating new species of Gems. It's possible that the Rose Quartzes were either the first or most successful of her designs. There appears to be much variation in appearance and personality among the Rose Quartzes, much more than between the Amethysts at The Zoo. So, there may have been a lot of Amethyst-level rowdies and goofballs in the Rose Quartz cut, and relatively few like Shy Rose Quartz with perception and intelligence. Why were they created? The simplest answer for me is that Pink Diamond wanted a corps of Quartz Gems to match the Amethysts of Blue Diamond and Citrines of Yellow Diamond, who were more versatile than just Jasper warriors, Agate administrators and Ruby soldier-laborers. From Eyeball's words, it seems that only our Rose Quartz had healing ability, doubtlessly derived from her power as a Diamond. While it can't be discounted, I doubt that the Rose Quartzes were made to run The Zoo, as there's far too many of them. I think that they were supposed to help Pink Diamond in the colonial development of the Earth, before she turned against that plan. Why were they bubbled? I can think of two possibilities: one, they were bubbled on the orders of the other Diamonds because a certain "Rose Quartz" was conducting a successful guerrilla rebellion that seemingly couldn't be put down by Pink Diamond; or two, that Pink Diamond caused this to protect them from shattering by the other Diamonds after she'd conceived the plan to fake her own death at the hands of "Rose Quartz"... if the other Diamonds knew that these Rose Quartzes were already safely bubbled at The Zoo, they couldn't accuse any of them of being the regicide Rose Quartz.

    I think that they would have healing powers and Quartz-level strength. My general explanation for Quartz varietals is that Amethysts have more pyrokinesis, Jaspers have more physical strength, and Rose Quartzes are the weakest in both, but get healing powers to make up for it. Amethysts and Jaspers act as front line soldiers, while Rose Quartzes are battlefield medics that can handle themselves in a scrap just fine. If our Rose could heal, then it would be weird that nobody would question why this Rose Quartz can manifest this whole-ass ability that none of the others have.
  • @murloc1696
    Well I mean to take inspiration from the real life gem quartz’s are commonly used in electricity due to them being good conductor so maybe they have powers like generating electricity or something similar like how in the episode “maximum capacity” Steven made the tv go all static but idk it’s just a theory
  • I'm sure Rose Quatzes do NOT have healing powers... This a Power of Pink Diamond... Even if she changed her appearance, she was still a Diamond in a Quartz disguise.
  • @bryanperez4061
    No doubt Pink Diamond made them specifically they all actually take after her with their playful demeanor
  • @Phoboskomboa
    I assumed that Pink Diamond took the form of a typical rose quartz before any were made, but after they were designed. It's possible that rose quartz (plural) already existed as a possible off-color of other quartz, but were rare. There is unpredictability to how gems come out, but as someone who grows crystals in a lab, I can tell you that you know what your starting materials are and your expected main phase, so for the most part, you know what to expect.
  • @CartoonUniverse
    Are you disappointed by any theories that got debunked in this episode? Are you satisfied with the explanations we received?
  • @queerlang6611
    I wish you'd discussed the fact that the Rose Quartzes were very conscientious: Navy RQ could tell Steven was okay, EMO RQ was sweet to Pearl and /knew what a back massage was/ and offered one without being asked to Garnet. OFC Garnet did not wanna be touched, but the mere fact they knew that I think says a lot about their job in the zoo. Navy RQ knew they were outstaying their welcome. I think its v interesting. I'm curious if they even /have/ innate gem weapons
