What are some mini theories you guys have?

Pearl chiseled the whole thing with her nose

I love how in the thumbnail obsidian is just *screaming at herself*

My favourite thing about Obsidian is because she doesn’t get a contextual reference for size you think she’s not that big but apparently she’s twice the size of White Diamond 🤯

I like this theory but there’s one key flaw with it. The temple’s arms aren’t hallow. We have already seen a part of one of the temple’s arms break off and what was inside is just rock.

I’m just imagining pearl in full perfection mode trying to get every detail absolutely perfect and using garnet to predict every little thing that could possibly happen from huge problems to “a small pebble will be on the warp at this time and will do absolutely nothing, but you won’t like it being there”

I always thought the people living in beach city built it as a thanks for saving them

It would make sense that obsidian herself made the rooms of the temple as well. Certain rooms can only be created when fusions themselves exist. You could say that, within obsidian, all other possible fusions exist as well, so each gem and fusion made each room and the technology behind it all in one fell swoop. Maybe through use of her lava, past obsidian created the crystal heart to begin with. Could be why they were so afraid of steven being near it in the past series, cause they didnt know if they could ever recreate it

That would make sense to why theres a lava pit in the bubble room

I think the temple was made after the storm in buddy's book. Obsidian did show up there and fight a sea monster, then went back to beach city. So i assume that obsidian was exhausted and it was raining, so the lava in her cooled, turning into rock. The way they came out of it is through the temple door. Because when obsidian turned to stone, the gem's mentalities were made into physical things, their rooms, and the door being their exit. Makes sense why theres a heart in it.

Obsidian roared and a crystal temple fell out of nowhere.

I just heard a new auto leak for a new Steven universe future episode and let's just say shit's about to go down

One more thing: the Obsidian statue at the temple has curly hair, just like Rose did, which probably signified that Rose herself fused with Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl. But when Steven fuses with them, Obsidian has puffy hair just like Steven does!

*Imagine Obsidian sitting in there all alone for a good while.*

I feel like William Dewey and his crewmen after they settled in Beach City built the Temple Statue in Obsidian’s honor after she saved them from the Corrupted Gem.

I think that Steven universe future will end with garnet saying "and that's all I forsee" to either Steven or rose. Or sapphire telling it to blue diamond

I want to know two things. One how can pocket dimensions like the one in the temple are created? And two, how do gems make their technology?

*_[yes yes yes, that's cool, but WHAT ABOUT THE RUBIES]_*

I always thought humans carved obsidian into the cliif while the temple(aka crystal gems secret base) was always inside the cliff. From mayor dewey's play (i dont remember which episode it's from) we learned that settlers of beachtown were saved from something big(a storm or monster i dont remember) by a giant woman. the woman being a fusion of crystal gems. We also know that the alpha kindergarden is somewhere close to the temple(from runaway boys episode it took what an hour in-show time for steven to get there). Also also there was a tribe of people nearby(from pearls explaination to sapphire...when rose beamed down on earth to hang out with other gems and generally check out the planet, they encountered a few humans collecting water.....which was also like an hour in-show time away from the kindergarden) Soooo.......basically when the whole rebellion was happening, rose and others built a small secret base(maybe to reqruit gems, maybe to spy on) near the alpha kindergarden. Meanwhile, the tribe of humans lived their lives somewhere close by, probablly witnessing the godlike weird ladies doing godlike weird things(like shapeshifting, fusing, making things cold, making things hot, making things appear/disappear, poof into thin air, and other weird stuff gems did do). Perhaps the humans also found the temple where gems would disappear(teleport or the door) and deamed the cliff a sacred place. After the war was over(and amethyst joined the picture), the crystal gems went off hunting down corrupted gems. Since the gems never fought a corrupted gem, it's safe to say that they would go all out(aka fuse into the biggest and meanest fusion they can). So.....the nearby humans(who learned how to carve stone by that point), terrified and mesmerized by the giant woman, just went for it and carved the image into the cliff.

Can’t wait for the Infinity Train video

2:29 - 2:30 LOL WHEN OBSIDIAN JUMPS CONNIE FALLS

I've always wanted to pour lava on myself

What about the crystal heart?

I believe it was made kinda like Eren’s Titan Crystal. Obsidian can harden her body into stone, perhaps a long time ago beach city was a part of the ocean til obsidian used all of the water to cool herself down and turn herself into the stone

Dude how am I this early. This was literally just on my home page lol

I like how regular obsidian looks at temple obsidian and is angry.

Just remember this: Obsidian is part diamond.

White fusion: EKK.. A SPIDER obsidian: ->- bruh

I thought ancient people built it for/ in honour of the gems.

There's a problem with this When you look on the broken wrists of obsidians statue you can clearly see it's not hollow

I dunno about the pocket dimension, but if pearl can manipulate clouds, sand etc. than maybe obsidian could manipulate lava into the shape of herself.

first and are you guys going to cover the audio leak we got

In the episode change your mind garnett said "let's create obsibion" so pink diamond fused with the gems when steven were not alive

I kind of thought that when the humans settled into what would become beach city, (the story from Steven and Jamie’s play) some humans built an entire shrine dedicated to the goddess like being that saved their lives. Then the gems sort of just started to live in there and make it more advanced as time went on.

No one: Not even a single a soul: Obsidian:ARMSSSSS

didn't feel like watching the video but had a thought, if a fusion is a narcissist isn't it really team spirit?

I love this theory it’s so creative and it makes perfect scenes

When I started watching the show I thought that was like the goddess of the gems

Everyone thought rose bubbled bismuth to have the others believe she was gone but in reality she did it to protect bismuth so she wouldn’t get shattered because bismuth always thought she couldn’t get shattered

I personally think that temple creation must be more involved than that. As well, an interesting aspect of the Crystal Temple is that in the beach next to the city, you can see Obsidian's sword in the water. My theory is that creating the Crystal Temple was a magical ritual of sorts in its own right, which solidified their body into magical stone containing the interior, thus why their weapon didn't disappear when they left the form. The Crystal Temple acts as a body, even going so far as to possess a heart with an artery network connecting it to the rest of the rooms - I take this to mean that the Temple is the byproduct of/used to be a living being. I also see that being why the Temple has the gem-accessible rooms it has, even going so far as to have rooms that only exist while certain Fusions do - because Obsidian contains the theoretical essence of all its components and the Fusions between them, but that has to be awakened from the outside. In my interpretation of things, the gems couldn't edit the Temple in post to make rooms for new Crystal Gems, because the Temple is a direct manifestation of their prior fusion.

i havent been this early since i watched the SU future episodes for free before copyright

I loveee this theory

I saw 9 months ago but it was 9 minutes ago lol wasssuupp

Maybe steven’s hidden rage made obsidian red and lava ish but with rose’s happyness made it pink?

I got the impression there were plenty of amethysts in the rebellion, and while it's possible there were also other pearls, rubies and sapphires, the only ingredient for Obsidian that the definitely only had one of was a diamond. So I don't rule out that the fusion could have existed during the war.

I wonder what it says on obsidian’s sword who else wonders this

!Interesting and fascinating.

Good theory. This explains the appearance of the temple.

It's amazing how preplanned everything even before pilot ep

Seeing as how we see obsidians silhouette rescue the first Dewey explorer I always assumed the townsfolk carved it in her honour

Thats what ive been thinking like how😮 thank you for explaining how it was made😊

I feel like they just carved obsidian into the side of the mountain, & hollowed out the middle by digging it out. It’s simple, but it’s what makes sense to me. Also, as someone else said, the arms of the statue aren’t hollow, so that kinda rules out this theory.

The Obsidian is a gem's temple

Deepcut: Lava Breath Me, an intellectual: Spicy Spit

I think Obsidian needs a redesign. First she needs proper clothes, I would Imagine her clothes are a mix of all the non hybrid gem’s cloths. Second she needs more eyes, with Sugilite having five eyes, and Rainbow Quartz having four, I think she needs nine eyes, four on her lower face and five on her upper face. She also needs two pairs of sunglasses. A pair of sunglasses on her lower face that resembles Sunstone’s and a pair on her upper face that resembles Alexandrite’s. Finally she needs to be more colorful as all her components come in such diversity in colors, particularly a rainbow. I think she needs to have skin that is a fix of all her components skin color’s hair that’s a mix of them, and her eyes and veins should be rainbow colored.

I always thought that the gem was there but the diamonds instead of corrupting it was turned into stone so the crystal gems looked after it... I was so wrong

I love how when obsidian climbs the mech they snap in and out of climbing and I think it means there is a argument going on in it

Holy Moly Guacamole I'm early

With the episode where Jamie and Mayor Dewey put on a play about how Beach City was created, I always felt like the statue was made in their honor by the founders of Beach City. It is implied that Obsidian was formed to save them and lead them to shore.

I NEVER NOTICED IT WAS OBSIDIAN AT THE TEMPLE TILL YOU MADE THIS-

in one of the eoisodes when greg was talking about rose/ pink diamond it showed amethyst as a younger version. but in the video where steven sings the song we are the crystal gems it showed them building more onto it. i remember them saying in one of the episodes that they had a whole gem war so that means more gems could have helped build that while they were fused together posing for the cave to get done. the cafe could have just been a mountain before and made it into this

I sounds right to me completely

I am at 2:33 my guess is that the people who were saved by her carved this into the mountain when they got to were beach city would be as a thanks to onsidan(edit) I was wrong but there’s a theory

This is awesome

Hey sorry for being ofline

I’m change your mind, obsidian is only as tall as pink diamond’s leg ship’s ankle, but the obsidian at the temple is just as big as the whole ship (the legs)

I thought the same thing. And I think maybe it’s possible obsidian can leak out lava through the lava looking swirls all over her body giving her more precise coverage on the outside of the body rather than just spitting it out her mouth. Or perhaps her whole body can become lava as a power we never seen before. And when she cools it makes the rock obviously and like you side when they unfuse it would be hollow.

I think it could have been the townies. Rember the episode where they showed the saving of the captain from the huge monster from the ocean by a giant woman. I think it must have been obsidian or alexandrite. If obsidian, it could been done by the townies to make a temple in their image.

i like the "dont cost nothing" in the background

Hey.. I commented on an Instagram post way before this video and I talked about everything you just talked about . Even the Amethyst part.

I always new that it was obsidian ever since I saw the scene change your mind on Steven universe

I have a new theory for You: The Slinker! Where is she? Why we didn't see her unbubbled? Is she still free-corupted gem in the temple? We saw gems TRY to get her in series and mini episode but... did they do it, since she's not in SU Future?

I think it was mainly because at the time when rose quartz was still here along with amethyst they got obsidian and maybe since rose quartz knew she was giving birth to a mini gem (Steven) she built it as a home for them to live in since they would have to live in her house and needed a very hallow space,rose built the temple as obsidian and let the gems live their but then it started to break down and grow nature on it leaving it how it is today.I also think rose did built the temple as obsidian to represent how all Garnet,Pearl,And Amethyst worked together for the first time in the years she was still here.

That audio leak that was released? *That music was lit not gonna lie.*

Such a cool theory! I really want it to be canon

Yeah you’re right it’s like the temple I never knew that so they looked like her from the temple that makes sense

I want Garnet and Stevonie fuse

i’ve always wondered why garnet, amethyst, pearl, and rose would need to form obsidian in the first place. perhaps some big battle?

Love this

I agree up until the point where you said they poured lava on themselves to make it hollow if that was true the broken arms on the temple would be hollow but they aren’t

Obsidian looks a frickin' MONSTER! The giant colorful monster women they fought should look like the crystal gem fusion with steven/garnet/pearl/amethyst and Obsidian should have been the boss battle!

In a show about main characters fusing the stars are aligned for EVERY gem to fuse to one by the end of the series

I have one thing to say about this, in season one episode twelve garnet says that she’s the only crystal gem who could swim in lava. Which held up at the time, because rubies and sapphires have a higher melting point than amethysts, and a much higher melting point than pearls. Steven is organic so it’s understandable that he couldn’t either. When the temple was made, obviously pink was lava proof, but how would pearl and amethyst hold up to being coated in lava?

I think they may have just carved it out because there was an episode where the legs were leaned against the temple and it looked like they r the same size unless without rose, obsidian is smaller

the obsidian that we saw is actually obsidian 2.0. The temple statue is obsidian. The temple statue, lets call it obsidian statue, has really curly hair, and rose has curly hair. The clothing design on the statue is similar to rose’s. I havent watched the full video so idk if he mentioned h Th is

why are there no more episodes

I think they just carved it in to the mountain. The arms of the temple aren't hollow so it couldn't have been formed in the way you mentioned unless they added the arms and hands later on.

The temple was s just carved into the cliff side, with The fusion of all the remaining crystal gems as a representation of the crystal gems. And it doesn’t use pocket dimensions, it takes up a specific space and then uses gem tech to allow multiple areas attuned for and connected to certain gems, and from the invisible connection to the gems when they open the main door, this allows for the fusion of the rooms that the jams are connected to. In fact, I’m completely sure that ruby and sapphire each have their own individual rooms, in which neither of them have seen.

I REALLY LIKE YOUR THOUGHTS I STRONGLY AGREE!

That’s super smart!

Though the Rebellion ended, some 100 years or 30 years like the 1990s in the steven year, they found amethyst and then in the 2000’s she evolved in which making the temple. And also forming obsidian

Would've been cool if after this episode they remodeled the old obsidian to be the new one.

He’s got a point and as we know the gems can shape shift so if they get stuck in the statue they can shape shift there hands to a hammer or somthing

This is actually really smart, for some reason I thought the temple was rose quartz before I started getting into SU, and I thought the temple was something else in change your mind.

My thing about this is if they did construct the temple this way why isnt the arms hollow as well the arms are solid plus the temple lines up perfectly with the mountain giving me mount rushmore vibes, but in all honesty i think its a mixture of both

Wasn’t there an episode that rose said “Bismith will be done with the temple when we get back”, or som like that?

Oh that sounds neat, only big problem would be that obsidian wouldn’t be what the lava would cool as, rather a lava sludge that would be Far too hot for them to live in unless they actually sat there for years as obsidian, disregarding that though would be believable in context and it’s a head cannon I shall accept

We ... A, are in the future B, are the crystal gems

I like it so much I even downloaded it
