    Also UG got Steven to use his shield

    Fight me

    dan I am okay with that being the case

    but I'm curious if they ended up doing anything with it in a non-cross over episode as well

    Nope!

    Oddly enough, he didn't even bubble when in danger in Joy Ride.

    By if I mean in an episode they skipped for this marathon, since that was implied in one of the interviews about the steven bomb 2: electric bogaloo

    But for Connie it was a lot of surprises.
    Her outright devotion to Steven was surprising to see. Its interesting that she never objects to the idea that she should serve Steven as his warrior.

    Well
    she's also a child, and probably gets caught up in the single-minded enthusiasm/training that Pearl provides

    she has always been pretty desperate to find a role in the world of Cool Magical Stuff.

    Also I mean swordfighting is pretty darn cool. I know when I was her age I'd have probably gone with just about anything to learn how to swordfight.

    Also Connie has admitted that she feels like a nobody compared to Steven, so she wasn't that far off from that mindset to begin with.

    the emotional beats for Pearl may have been a bit rrepetitive, but teaching Connie to swordfight is a good plot and the song was pretty great

    I am always down for characters with little to no fighting experience getting a cool training montage and start wrecking shit so i liked this episode

    There has never been an instance of that particular plot i've disliked i'm pretty sure

    If only they could give Connie some kind of special sword from the gem homeworld.

    Some kind of... space sword.

    I thought
    Pearl's song was too forced.

    I loved the Jam song, though.

    This was such a pretty episode

    also
    it's interesting how this episode furthers that Pearl isn't a fighter by design
    Jasper calls her a "defective Pearl" so I assume the gems have a caste system of sorts and Pearls are like supervisors or organizers given Pearl's personality.

    Can someone explain the thing with pearl and swords to me

    Like I know she's trained to fight a lot but her weapon is a spear

    why does she collect swords and seem so into them

    its kinda weird to me

    Not sure but the default guess is....Rose Quartz used a sword.

    Edit: 2nd thought, we now know she sorta idolizes knights and the iconic weapon there is also a sword.

    I think it fits Pearls character that she treasures the skill she had to practice and hone over the skill that was more or less baked into her being.

    Absolutely

    I just wonder why she focused on swords and not the thing she can actually magically make and mostly uses in real combat

    Connie is a great character

    Its been said before but basically someone could say pretty much anyone in the show is their favorite and I wouldn't bat an eye

    the last show I can think of like that was probably ATLA

    Watching the episode again,
    When they first warped to the sky arena, there is another diamond pattern on the wall behind the warp. Reminded me of the windows logo, it had 4 colors yellow, white, blue, pink. In the jailbreak episode there was a similar diamond pattern on the gem hand ship, I think (either that or the homeworld warp...). But it it only had 3 colors. Pink was missing.

    I thought we also saw her being a bit more than just moonstruck by Rose. This showed her devotion in a much more active role. It's ground we've already seen but from a different angle.

    The Diamond Authority? And the 3 colour one is after Rose dissents? I'm reminded of that theory that Rose is a Rose Diamond.

    Nice catch.

    I think that that's something like Garnet being a fusion that a lot of people sort of knew was coming, but finding the little hints everywhere was sort of neat.

    I think it's pretty much a sure thing that
    Rose was one of the actual governing council of gems.

    And the other three are still alive and kicking, and doubtlessly ready to kick it into high-gear if they think that "Rose is coming back."

    I'm a little confused about tonight's episode, the Ronaldo one--is it a two parter or no? My guide listing says it shares the same half hour block as Sworn to the sword.

    So Yellow Diamond is likely one of the others

    I wonder if all of the ruling council have names in that pattern, when it seems like all other gems dont
