“We can rule out pearl belonging to pink from garnets flashback.” Honey you got a big storm coming

I believe Pearl was made for White Diamond but gave her up to Pink Diamond as a gift. She was a spy to see what Pink Diamond is doing on earth but she got sidetracked by Rose.

"We can rule out pink diamond" Me:Oh honey

ya'll remember when seeing yellow diamond was huge news?

I'm here after A Single Pale Rose...

I think they set such an inexperienced zircon to defend rose quartz, so she wouldn't have a fair trial and for sure lose the case. Why else would they put such a young gem in the defense of a case as important as the shattering of a diamond?

Pearl’s gem is in the same place as white diamond

I don't know if anyones mentioned this yet but typically a gem that belongs to a diamond is shown to have their gem in the same place as their diamond. Pearls gem is on her forehead like white diamonds. I 100% believe that our pearl belonged to white diamond.

Pearl is the John wick of Steven Universe

“W can rule out pink diamond” Me, after watching a single pale rose: you couldn’t be further than the truth

You know what's REALLY scary? Peridot's neck at 2:31

Interesting theory, but hasn’t Pearl said herself that she taught herself to fight even though that’s not what she was made for?

In the episode Steven’s Dream when Steven tells Pearl about white diamond pearl says “When I served...” then she pauses and finishes saying “...Homeworld” she really was going to say white diamond but caught herself

"Crystsal Clear" YOU HAD ONE JOB ROUNDTABLE, ONE JOB!

Pearl can use an axe, a sword and a spear. Now all she needs is some armor and a horse to become the great knight class from Fire Embelm. Edit: I didn't expect this many likes for a simple comment

Technically white is not a color it's a combination of all colors. This would explain why pearl was white diamonds pearl she contains all of the colors of every diamond and displays them in her outfits.

4:10 "imagine crossing paths with this war machine" *focuses on pearl cowering behind garnet's leg from pizza steven*

I can agree to our "defective" pearl being an executioner for the court with all her skills, the debate of who pearl really belongs to due to her color scheme is still up in the air with her tinted pink or white hair and skin as much it may be crazy, pearl's physical form still gives bits of color of all the diamonds, meaning perhaps she served in the royal court with her skill as executioner. Besides her physical form having color schemes from all the diamonds, Pearl may be "defective" because she possesses as few personality traits of the diamonds from her combat skills and her intelligence to her emotions and reasoning, I think that pearl was given to pink to be a "nanny" to mature pink so she could eventually command her own colony.

I think pearl had the power to "Video" or show what happened during a trial. She uses her gem in a projector kind of way like in Rose's scabbard when she makes Rose appear by using a hologram. So, seeing how Yellow Pearl writes down what happens and Blue Pearl draws. Then It would make sense to have had a video of the trail. This is just my theory, but I do agree with some of your points.

What if homeworld is doing those forced fusions so they find a way of putting pink diamond back together?

What if Stevens mom was actually pink diamond, that is why you don’t see her on the flashback and that is why you never see pink diamonds pearl because our pearl is the pearl quartz’s used. And when quartz gave up her lifeform for Steven a rumor began that the diamond was shattered by quartz probably since she was the last see before the disappearance of pink diamond.

I still like the idea of Pearl being originally White´s, and White "trading" pearls with Pink after Pink broke hers, like a good older sister. Pearl´s gem is on herforehead, and ehr personality is that of a perfectionist.

In conclusion... Pearl is badass

4:09 I can almost hear pearl saying, "that's not my baby''

Ever just look back at these video and laugh?

We watching this after season five laughing the entire way

Hot + White= Dangerous

You know, Pearl is quickly becoming my favorite character. I mostly like Garnet, but it was probably out of habit since Garnet is a cool character and my birthstone is a ruby. I've been more invested with Pearl since she's the one main character with the most mysteries. She more interesting because we know so little whereas Garnet isn't quite a mystery at all; much of the mystery behind Garnet dissipated from Jail Break on. I guess that's why I was so irked by Gemcation using her as means to get Steven to reveal his girl troubles. My lack of patience for more character development has been stacking because it's taking gradually longer to see new episodes and more teases keep coming with them. Arguably though, watching the episodes back-to-back post release would actually show proper pacing. I just hate that the air date schedule is so awful.

I like to watch old theory videos and pretend I'm just an omnipotent being who knows the future

I really like this theory. Actually, I like anything that has to do with Pearl being White Diamond's. The role of the executioner seems fitting.

I think that Pearl was made for White Diamond, but came out defective and was given to Rose, which explains both Pearl’s gem placement and the Pink Diamond on her suit

so pearl was the one who chopped off Ned Stark's head. got it.

Him: pearl belonged to white because she was in the other team against pink Me:*laughs in 2020*

2:34 can we take time and look at Peridot neck look at it it's like a baby born giraffe!

The real question is: When Steven dies, will Rose come back? (By dies I mean he's totally decomposed, died from old age, and all that's left is the gem).

In the episode where steven and connie have problems keeping together, you can see that one halopearl has... A battle axe

I don’t know if someone already made a theory on this if anything someone had to of but I’m not sure. Anyway ok look at yellow and blue pearl and now look at the diamonds yellow and blue. The pearls gem is in the somewhat same spot as the diamonds. Even looking at pink pearl she has her gem in the same spot as pink. So why is our pearl have her gem on her forehead? It makes it kind of obvious that the pearls gem corresponds to whoever the pearl works fors gem. Or at least who she originally worked for. So was pearl technically working for white diamond before or maybe during pink diamonds time as pink diamond. Until they became closer maybe.

Honestly a single pale rose just felt like "HAHA GOT YOU!!"

Who else loves Pearl? and her saltiness?

Crystsal Clear.... Nice job guys....nice job....

Have you noticed her old outfit was the same as the other Diamond's Pearl's but in white? There are many evidences, and I'm quite sure our Pearl is White Diamonds.

I have a theory so our pearl is the default version I think since pink pearl was taken white had to give pink a pearl not like her so she gave a default and since Pearl's are very loyal gems I dont think she had any association with white at all or she'd be devoted to white plus I'm sure white would've made it without a pearl because to her she's the perfect gem and would be solo stuck in her head

I’m so excited to find out pearls background. We know garnets and amethysts but not pearls. COME ON!!!!!

0:56 Morganite had a pearl

Ohhh it was all just in front of us the WHOLE TIME!!!!! SHE IS ROSE QUARTS AND PINK DIAMONDS PEARL!!! Dang we should’ve looked closer at it...

why is there nobody else realizing that "crystal" in the title is spelt wrong im

In the song 'do it for her' it sounds like she wasn't meant to fight though. That's how she could relate to Connie. And didn't Garnet say she got poofed a lot during the war when she was trying to fight for Rose? I mean she obviously has skill, but no power. Since a pearl isn't considered a fighter and usually considered weak though I can see why she could have been the one to shatter Pink Diamond though. Pink Diamond wouldn't have considered her a threat. Don't think she was made to shatter gems though.

"Crystsal Clear" Yup

Pink was so happy in life and she was nice it made me cry when she phoned rose quartz inform Steven butt this vid is about Pearl anyway

2:30 I just realized how long the necks are It makes it look weirder every second --

I love Crystsal Clear. I mean, Crystal Clear is damn good too, but Crystsal Clear is WAY better.

This one's a little too far out. I think Pearl only ever picked up combat in an effort to better serve Rose Quartz, who probably inspired Pearl to rebel in the first place. I think she was a simple servant Pearl for someone higher up, and while on Earth she was likely intrigued by a new beautiful and kind Rose Quarzt who got the idea in her head that there was more to their lives than just what they were programmed for. I also believe her reason for picking up so many different types of weapons simply has to do with her know-it-all attitude.

If pearl WAS an executioner then i feel the other pearls would have a little fear and prefer to stay as far as possible

*when your still watching these while after watching the movie*

I mean it makes sense. Think about her emotions too. In battle she’s calm and collected with her eye on the prize, if it means protecting the ones she loves it’s a no brainer for her. I could see that same attitude translating to that kind of life style, especially if we look at younger pearl and how she acted towards people. It would also make sense for white diamond to have the most lethal pearl. Which now that pearl is gone I wouldn’t be surprised if pink pearl was trained to fight like her (at least to the point of still being controllable)

Maybe she was an assassin too? More than just executioner, if White Diamond wanted someone gone, they'd be taken care of by Pearl without a fair trial.

It’s always entertaining to come back to these old videos xD

when its revealed that pearl was actually pink's: ok... that was my second choice I also thought pearl was white's because, i mean.... look at her!

I feel bad for Pearl

Blue Diamond vs Yellow Diamond. Perfect theme for a Splatfest.

Pearl worked for Pink Dimond, and Pink Dimond is Rose Quarts

"The last time we saw a fight was watermelon Island" Boy what you talkin about last time we saw a fight was in heart of the Crystal Gems

I don't believe your theory is right. Yes our current Pearl is very powerful and well versed in combat, but there have been several scenes in the show in which Pearl truly felt like she was "just a Pearl", a servant, not good enough. If she was supposed to be so powerful from the beginning she the whole "strong in the real way" thing etc. wouldn't make any sense. Plus I believe in "do it for her/him" the "deep down you know you were'd built for fighting" part refers to Pearl herself. She wasn't built to fight, let alone shatter gems, but trained herself to be more than she was supposed to be. All of which makes Pearl, in my opinion, a much more interesting and amazing character. She trained herself to be as badass as she is!

No I don't. The reason is during the episode in sugilite, she stated that she's 'Just a Pearl'. If she was an executioner, I feel her demeanor around being 'Just a pearl' would be different...

Did anyone notice that the title said a “Crystsal Clear”

Pearl needs a clam or an oyster to protect her

I'm sorry I'm nine seconds into this video and ITS THE HOT WHITE ONES THAT ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS. VOXX IT IS ALMOST FIVE IN THE MORNING AND YOU GOT ME CRACKING UP WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME.

Pearl has been my favorite character since before the show aired

Rubies are red, Saphires are blue. When they are fused, They are stronger then you.

This is the most interesting theory I've seen about Pearl. I am so desperate to know about her origin it's insane!!!

Bruh, that intro got me S H O O K

yo anyone see that new adventure time? worst birthday ever

0:13 my favorite is white, because she talks down to others and is better than others. She also is, rather than simply unstable, completely without emotions. Can we get a white diamond shirt? Perhaps “hello, starlight?”

I really want Pearl to be a executioner so bad, because it’s so cool! Awesome Theory!

this actually does make sense... if yellow pearl was taking notes and blue pearl was drawing visuals of the gem on trial's description, it would make sense if white pearl is the one who shatters the gem if they are found guilty

>Crystsal clear

My good sir I am from the future and I can prove almost anything you say wrong >:]

Regardless of how well this theory holds up over time, it's still a fascinating look into Pearl's character. I would be thrilled if they chose to take this darker route in her development.

deep-down comment theory: Pearl is pink diamond's pearl. Pearl was a gift from white diamond from conquering earth, which explains her gem forehead. Pink diamond trust her pearl very much that it was also the sole reason of her destruction. Pearl *probably* have persuaded pink diamond to go outside on her palanquin. Pearl did this cause she was a massive dork to Rose. And yeah, Pearl was a traitor and abused her owner's trust.

I think there is a group of diamonds that have been discarded and were failed attempts to make pink diamond when they were trying to make a red diamond but what they made were Black diamond Green diamond Orange diamond And they made a red diamond Homeworld just ran out of materials

Damn watching this when the series is almost on it’s 6th season is weird really really weird

I can see this series taking a twist like that, honestly pearl would be the best gem to have that role in the past since we barely know hers. And it would be flat out mind blowing.

EH HEM. So if the Diamonds have pearls, There pearls have there gem in the same spot as their Diamonds. So pearl can't be Pink Head IT has to be white. And One eps when Jasper ( Return ) ( I THINK ) Jasper said " A lost Defective Pearl " so pearl was a home world servant probably pearl has to be Whites Or maybe since people say that Yellow or White Shatterd pink Pearl must of ran off while pink was shatterd and White won't be seen until she gets her pearl in her colony

Pearl The Executioner....

I think pearl first belonged to white, but when volleyball (pink pearl) was cracked from pink, i think pearl was reset and given to pink for an exchange for pink pearl

In the words of SuperSonic1014 "I'd call Pearl many things but HOT is not one of them." 0:03

Great video as always but I prefer the live Awestruck over the cartoon Awestruck! Your guys format is great when you do live commentary

I wonder how Pearl wields her battleaxe? It could see her learning how to use a heftier weapon in the past because fast and precise attacks don't work on all enemies. Although I think she'd probably have a smaller one she could move agilely with, I'd like to see how she would use a heavy weapon. I imagine if she swung a heavy ax and missed, it would be stuck in the ground or she'd have to put a lot of effort into just taking it out of the ground, so i think she would never stop moving the ax until it hits its mark. She would gain momentum making each swing stronger and she wouldn't have to slowly start each swing over.

I love how badly this video aged 😂

I'm not exactly sure if I believe that she was White Diamond's pearl, but I'd like to bring attention to the fact that the other pearls belonging to diamonds have their gem in the same place as their diamond, and Pearl has her gem on her forehead...just like White Diamond

Dang, Pearl keeps having some rough issues.😯

Only 10 seconds in and im already laughing my ass off.

"Its the hot white ones that are the most dangerous" that will go on my top ten quotes

Something I've been asking myself was that in the episode where Peridot yells at Yellow Diamond, she asks, "and where is the Jasper I assigned you?" even though the Jasper she was talking about calls Pink Diamond her diamond.

pearl is amazing

My theory on Pearls in general is still that: Pearl is not a gem, it's a byproduct of organic life. Pearls are the remnants of an organic species enslaved and 'fixed' by Homeworld, possibly via a, for lack of a better word, 'soul-less' Gemtech version of what Rose did in the creation of Steven. Or possibly Pearls are still created through an organic process and there's a planet of biological Pearl makers in the Homeworld dominion. But I'm pretty sure giant Pearl-birthing clams would be too much symbolism even for Steven Universe to handle without exploding. In specific to our Pearl, I still think regardless of White or Pink Diamond originally, it was Rose that put the mental block keeping her from speaking on her. Pearl's insistence on her being the one person Rose would never keep a secret from when Lion showed up, etc etc, plus it gives at least one more twist of the "Why did Rose do these things?" knife and delays the real reveals that have been delayed years already. Actually getting all the answers seems unlikely to me. If it was Rose that placed the mental block, however, overcoming it and Pearl finally being able to give at least some answers about why Rose kept these secrets is a pretty good consolation reveal.

The idea of pearl being an murderous gem is a great theory. Also can someone explain why Pearl has the colors of all the diamonds, pink, blue, white, and yellow.

A pearl's gem location and skin color corresponds to their diamond. Blue/Yellow pearl: has their gem on there chest like Yellow and Blue Diamond Pink Pearl/Volleyball: has her gemstone on her belly like Pink And finally Pearl: has her gem on her forehead like white and has white skin
