Last week I talked about my favorite theories that were proven to be wrong in Steven Universe.
A lot of them, a quite a few of you mentioned were barely theories to begin with, and were a bit stupid.
That is true, and is the case of the most incorrect theories. So in this video, I am going to do the Top 10 Theories That Were Proven to be True.
It is amazing to see just how much foreshadowing the makers of the show have put into so many episodes.
This is going to be a good list, because if you´ve been a fan for any longer than a few months,
you´ll probably remember the moment when some of these theories started to make sense.
And definetly the moment when they were confirmed as true.
Although I don´t guarantee that your favourite theory will be here,
I think that I chose some of the bests the show has offered this far.
Now it´s time to start the list:
10. Onion and Sour Cream are brothers.
This one was always preety apparent from the moment we saw how both of these characters look like.
Sour Cream and Onion, AKA Yellow Diamond, have very similar skin and hair colour.
Plus their names go very well toghether, since sour cream and onion are popular gravies of potato chips.
In Joy Ride, there was preety much confirmed when Sour Cream talks about his relationship with his stepfather, Yellowtail.
Since Yellowtail is Onion´s dad, that makes Sour Cream Onion´s half-brother.
Well, maybe it´s true that Steven and the Crystal Gems are the focus of the show,
sometimes I really love learning more about the human characters and their families.
9. Pearl was in love with Rose Quartz.
Well, it´s first seen that Pearl has always looked at Rose Quartz as the leader of the rebellion,
Rose´s Scabbard revealed that there were a lot more of Pearl´s feelings.
And following episodes, only raised more questions about Pearl´s relationship with Rose.
In We Need to Talk it´s even showned that Pearl was jealous of Greg for being in a relationship with Rose Quartz.
Rose is the reason Pearl stayed on Earth, and fought against her Homeworld.
Rose is probably the gem that taught Pearl almost everything she knew.
With all those things in mind it´s easy to see why many predicted this to be the case for Pearl feelings towards Rose.
And this is much confirmed in a tweet by a Steven Universe writer,
that Pearls feelings are clearly showed.
Wow! This writer likes to joke around a lot!
It seems to be that this tweet was one of his more serious ones,
It looks to cover that this love was unrequited, but it ends by being much more complicated than just that.
8. Peridot is a cyborg.
Peridot, as you first met her, was actually a little bit intimidating,
but looking at her now, it´s very surprising to see just how much she´s changed since then.
A big part of why she appeared as a threat, was because of how advanced she appeared to the rest of the gems we knew.
She had long limbs, with fingers that could float and create screens.
At first people belived that she was a new type of gem with enhancements,
meant to replace pearls,
later some speculated that her arms and langs were not actually a part of her body.
And this was absolutely the case.
With the lost of her enhancements, in Catch and Released,
it was revealed that Peridot was actually very short in stature.
With this being the beginig of Peridot´s change towards the Crystal Gems,
and with it becoming part of the team.
7. There are multiples of every gem.
One of the things that made the Crystal Gems unique,
when the series first started,
was that there was nobody else quite like them on the show.
In particular, their names matched up exactly with their gemstone.
And as we met more gems during the first season,
each one was unique and looked unique.
So that implicated that there may be only one each gem,
but that seemed a little unlikely as there are gonna be so many types of gems before they ran out of gems to use,
what sent us to the conclusion that there are multiples of each gem.
Before being proven true in Back to the Barn,
evidence for this theory was given when Jasper calls Pearl "a pearl",
and Rose calls Pearl "my pearl".
Now, with the latest episodes, it´s quite common to see multiples a gem,
as rubies are quite plentiful
6. All monsters were once gems.
One of my favourite parts of the first season of Steven Universe was seeing all of the corrupted gems.
I even made a Top 10 list about the 10 most popular ones.
Of course, they were mostly just known as monsters until their true development was revealed in Ocean Gem,
as explained by Pearl.
The evidence for this theory was in Monster Budies
when Centipeetle tries to reform in an uncorrupted state.
For a few moments, you can see the humanoid silhouette
that looks just like a gem before later emerges in it's smaller form.
I really do hope that we can see how Centipeetle actually looks like very soon.
5. Amethyst is a runt.
This theory has not crossed anybody´s mind until The Return,
when Jasper calls Amethyst "a runt"
Sure Amethys was always seen as small,
but Jasper pointed out that particular fact about her.
So it had to had some significance.
Going back to On the Run,
it did appear that many of the other holes in the place were bigger than Amethyst,
so something must have happened.
She was in the ground too long and therefore emerged smaller than the others.
And all of this was, in fact, true.
In Too Far, Peridot confirms all these things,
and also tells Amethyst that she was suppose to be a huge soldier gem.
It makes you feel really sad for Amethyst,
but all of these defects on her at least make her an unique gem.
4. Pearl was a servant, as well as defective.
This theory first became popular after Jasper calls Pearl "defective" in The Return.
Looks like the previous entry on the list.
Once that was said, many people took this as meaning Pearls was different from others like her,
and it could be concluded that if more pearls did exist,
they were in fact servants because the traits Pearl exhibits.
She likes to clean and organise, which are things a servant does.
She was also extremely loyal to Rose Quartz,
and would rather be a follower than a leader.
In Sworn to the Sword, Pearl states that she wasn´t built for fighting,
and in Friendship, she calls herself "just a pearl".
This was finally confirmed in Back to the Barn when Peridot,
our explainer of many secrets, clarifies this saying that pearls are made to order for gems of hight ranking.
3. Peridot will join the Crystal Gems.
I did say earlier that Peridot was at first seen as intimidating,
but there was a twist between her and Jasper from being redeemed.
It would´ve been seen much more likely for Peridot to join the Crystal Gems.
Steven has previously shown making friends of Lapis and Centipeetle,
two very different gems.
With that in mind, it would be seen as a possibility that Peridot would be the next in line.
And there was a sign of hope in Jailbreak when we saw Peridot taking an escape pod to Earth.
If she had any chance to be redeemed, it would have to be when Steven was able to interact with her consistently.
And this is exactly what happened,
as many predicted. and just look at Peridot now!
2. Ronaldo was right.
Personally, I find this one a bit mindblowing because it shows that
we should not just give a cold shoulder to things that may seem a bit crazy or not serious.
And in this case, it was that the resident conspiracy theorist, Ronaldo,
was right about just everything he predicted.
We learn a lot about Ronaldo in Keep Beach City Weird.
And he claims that the true evil in the world are polymorphic sentient rocks,
who want to hollow out the Earth.
These beings are part pf the Great Diamond Authority.
His first statement of polymorphic sentient rocks was inmediately true,
as Garnet Amethyst and Pearl are shapeshifting gemstones.
With that known, it wouldn´t be too hard to think that everything else he said was also true.
And it was!
The Diamond Authority is the ruler of the gems,
and their goal was to use Earth´s resources until it was completly dried.
That is not the only time he´s been right,
and there are many instances where his crazy theories have been correct.
With those 9 out of the way, it is time for the final theory.
If you haven´t already guessed it, number 1 is...
Garnet is a fusion!
Yes, yes, I know.
I am predictible.
But it seemed fitting to put both of the Garnet´s ones in the number 1 spot.
Also, this was a great theory from the very beginnig,
and was a mistery for a whole season.
Of course, looking at the huge pile of evidence the answer was pretty much always clear.
Garnet had multiple gems, for a start,
she had three eyes with a pupil and an iris, which was unusual.
When Alexandrite defuses there is a frame where it looks like Garnet is two separarte gems.
Even her instrument is a fusion of a piano and a guitar!
In addition, there were some foreshadowing in the pilot, and in the intro for the show.
Plus even her size, accent, and role as a leader,
could have been counted as good evidence for this.
Support for this theory was literally everywhere,
and it was a huge payoff for those who were always believers in this theory
when Jailbreak aired.
So those are the Top 10 theories that were proven to be true.
It was quite a list and the huge variety of theories shows just how deep this show can go
with pretty much anything.
Now, of course, those are not all of the best proven theories, as there are many more of them.
With that in mind, I´m puting toghether an exclusive video for Patreon subscribers with more theories proven right,
since there are just so many.
Even the lowest tier gets to see the video, so that´s just another reason to support the chanel.
A new awesome Patreon supporter is Squids.
Thank you for being such an awesome fan of my videos!
Also reciently I did a stream to celebrate the 50k youtube subscribers on the kamcord app.
And those who gave me stars during the stream get a shout out.
So thank you PERIDOTAMINOUSER, Jkan and HoloPearl.
Thank you for watching!
