1. Bismuth says that she created rose's sword 2. The reason the zoo isn't like a prison or anything was explained by Holly blue. "Humans don't take well to captivity"
The amethysts, jasper, and rose are all quartz’s, I’m pretty sure it’s the color that differentiates the specific names for example all Amethysts are some shade of purple
On top of that, there tend to be many sub-types of agates, jaspers, and amethysts. e.g. Zebra Jasper, Biggs Jasper, Ocean Jasper, Blue Lace Agate, Lace Amethyst
No! We've seen purple and pink jaspers, the difference is what they can do! Jaspers are usually way skinnier, carnelians are shorter, and roses are caretakers! Amethyst are the average soilder quartz!
@@flormira9911 nah jaspers don’t tend to be skinnier and carnelians don’t tend to be shorter, skinny and the carnelian we saw in the human zoo were both defective wich holly blue also stated
Also they didn't question pearls outfit and really object to her not acting correctly because as Peridot stated back in season 2, her outfit and form was "fancy", so they probably just see that she's a "newer and better model" and ignore it.
Also adding that since pearls are seen as “custom made property” the way they look doesn’t really matter to homeworld gems because for all they know that’s how there owner wants them to look
I was always more confused about why nobody reacts to Ruby and Sapphire not exactly wearing Homeworld uniforms. Like, there's no diamond insignia to signify which diamond they serve. Ruby is dressed so differently from a normal Ruby, with the headband and lack of diamond sigil. A sapphire can probably get away with it but it still looks suspicious to me.
8:58 Remember Bismuth made Rose's sword herself and calls it her "finest piece of work", right after immediately recognizing it. 1:50 Jasper IS a gem. Roses, Amethysts and Jaspers are all Quartz soldiers. They all essentially look the same but with different color. Amethyst and the Jasper we know stand out because our Amethyst came out late and our Jasper is basically peak Jasper, her cut was perfect. Also, of course it all feels weird, it's a human ZOO.
To clear your confusion: In real life, gemstones like Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Jasper, Carnelian, Agate, etc are from the same gem family: Quartz In the show, all quartzes variations share basically the same rol (warriors/guards) and body type (when not defective)
One of my favorite details is how "round" and "perfect" the humans in the zoo look. That combined with the choosening ceremony implies that they're selectively bred
While i love your theory about rose taking pink diamond’s sword. Back in the episode where we met bismuth (the weapon-smith), she stated how she made the sword for rose and therefore it couldn’t have been pink’s
My boy scoot was in the military?! That's insane I'm not even gonna lie I could never imagine this handsome fellow with gear on bruh wtf. The more you know 🤣
Amethyst was supposed to look like those Amethysts. Jasper is made from the beta gindergarden from Earth. I love that you got the inside to how their rankings work, although it isn't cool. Holly Blue Agate sucks and is super rude! Yup. Humans were there repopulating for like 5,000 years. 😳 This is all they know, which is crazy. They listened to the voice because they never had a reason to question it until Greg and Steven showed up. I'm sure it is called a zoo cause people are in captivity even if they don't know it. I think gindergarden means a place to start making gems vs how Earth's definition is the place kids go to to start learning. If I get into the lore of things, I feel like the zoo and kindergarden were gem words that Earth started using as their own words. I hope that makes sense to everyone. The military?! Thanks for your service! ❤️
Finally! Someone mentions it! "Wouldn't they normally be sleeping right now?" That's the part that always confuses me! The voice tells them it's time to sleep, then 2 minutes later they're all awake and being told to do something else.
we kinda already get that, the before they were crystal gems part and meeting 'rose' part, even a mixture of the two, meeting 'rose' before becoming a crystal gem, just a handful of people got screentime of pre-CG, obeying diamonds tho
You asked "there are other agates?" Yes, they are hundreds of the same type of gem. Only 4 diamonds tho. But every cut of gem has thousands of the same kind. So yeahh
I just wanna say that we don't mind the pausing because we are here to hear what YOU have to say about the show. If I wanted to rewatch the show I'd stream it. No need to apologize because you WANT to hear your theories and questions!
I remember when this aired there was a huge debate over the content, since human zoo's were once a real thing (and fairly recent in history too), so a lot of individuals felt the content to be insensitive to those affected by it. The general consensus was similar to your own reaction - a lot of people were weirded out by it and the human breeding programme
I love your theorizing! Your theories may not all be right, but you are thinking the right way! And yes, the writers really are as clever as you want them to be. It's one of the things that make this show so satisfying to rewatch.
To understand the zoo think of it as we humans are the animals and the gems as zookeepers. the humans are taken care of and put on display for others gems. pink diamond collected humans (for reason later to be revealed) the humans in the zoo are on a set schedule and the lil voice is supposed to represent instinct and/or god telling them what to do based on pink diamonds observation of human life
I think the human zoo is just like a real zoo, except with thousands of years of improvement. Animal zoos have been improving throughout the years with an emphasis on trying to make the enclosures as close to their natural habitats as possible with all their needs being met, so it makes sense that an advanced species like the gems would make so a thorough zoo for humans.
1. Jaspers, Amathysts and Roses are Quartz and all were created on earth. 2. Bismuth made Rose's sword. 3. Two episodes back, blue diamond said she wants to preserve Pink's diamond legacy by keeping all Pink's gems (Amathysts, Jaspers, etc.) And the human zoo.
Sorry if I don't express myself right, I'm not a native speaker: So... imagine that your little brother whom you love very much dies. You were almost like his father and all you have left of him are his toys. You decide to take some of them and keep them to have a physical memory that reminds you of him. This is basically what Blue feels. "But why don't they just keep the whole earth and visit it with all that it encapsulates of Pink?" (spoiler: earth was the first and only colony of Pink Diamond) Answer: because Yellow doesnt care about feelings nor the past; all she wants is to produce more and more (that includes the Cluster).
In real life, legitimate zoos are obligated to treat animals well. So putting humans in a zoo feels wrong to us because of the connotation of the word, but we put animals in zoos so Gems are just like us in that way if they see us as lower life forms. On top of that, endangered animals are sometimes saved from extinction because of zoos.
If they were the original humans then they wouldn’t need the choosening because there would be no need for a breeding program but since there IS a breeding program chances are probably that after a few generations the gems started getting involved and playing match maker to make sure it stayed a healthy population
Sapphire and ruby are scared of blue diamond. At least sapphire is. That’s why Garnet wasn’t able to go with Steven. They fused in front of blue and wanted ruby to be shattered. That’s why ruby is upset and hates blue diamond. Garnet knew if she went with Steven that blue diamond would recognise her from before
So, yeah. The song tells you couple of the Gems' purposes. Agates terrify (they keep other Gems in line like a drill sergent) & Lapis terraforms (uses water to shape the land for the use of the Gempire).
Loved these, can't wait for the next ones! The zoo is like our zoos of oth4r animals. Everything is controlled so that they are healthy and that there would be no incest.
So the reason Saphire said it like she knew it was going to happen was because she does. She is where Garnet gets her future vision. And that ability is why Sapphires are so respected
If you think about it, it's not much different than an Earth zoo, except that it's bigger and has captives that are more intelligent (though these humans have arguably lost some intelligence after thousands of years in captivity). Zoos also try to control when the animals eat and sleep, and which individuals breed with each other. And the best zoos try to keep the animals as happy and comfortable as possible.
1:45 lol the first thing they said 2:00 ...they're different colors then Jasper tho 6:00 :) 6:40 lol, _you_ said they were dumb, too 12:10 Wy...I THOUGHT IT WAS Y6 Vi....lol he could be Wyvi 16:15 if they were chosen to leave, I mean
The zoo’s structure and Rose’s sword do not correlate at all. They have no connection, that’s just the look. Also(THIS ISNT SPOILERS)the zoo belonged to Pink Diamond because she liked humans so much, so it was made specifically for her to preserve them and keep them in a zoo like trophies. When she was shattered, Blue Diamond kept over the zoo as it held sentimental value of Pink. This was stated twice or three times I believe in this episode and the past one
Gem society is made up of many, many species, with the Diamonds of course at the top. Some Gems like Jasper share a generic name with an entire class of Gem species. (Garnet too, and Fusions give themselves names even if that name is already used.) Next is commander level: apparently Beryl-types like Emeralds, Hessonites, Morganites etc., as well as certain aristocratic Gems closely associated with the Diamonds like Sapphires. Then the Quartz warrior-caste, which itself seems to be divided between Agates (the mid-level management, or O-4 through 6 in the military) and Quartzes like Amethysts and Rose Quartzes. Jasper technically should be in the Agate class, and has the nasty temperament of one, but was specially created as the ultimate Quartz warrior. Maybe that's why she's stronger downstairs than upstairs. Then specialist technical Gems like Peridots, Nephrites, Lapis Lazulis, and Desert Glass. Bismuth is possibly of this class as well. Then common laborer Gems like Rubies. Finally, Pearls--although like any "pet" they can have an assumed status thanks to the indulgence of a high-ranking owner. The Betas at the Zoo station were created at Earth's Beta Kindergarten in haste during the rebellion, so they are flawed in many ways. Holly Blue Agate uses the term "Off-Colors" to describe those like Skinny Jasper, and this is this actually the derogative used on Homeworld for Gems who "came out wrong" like our Amethyst. At this time, I was wondering whether our Pearl was something of an Off-Color was well. According to Rebecca Sugar, Jasper was the sole Beta Gem to be taken into Homeworld service after the rebellion (as part of Yellow Diamond's legion). The other Betas are deemed nearly worthless, and thus are exiled to obscure corners of the Gem Empire like the Zoo station. To be fair, the Beta Quartzes act more like our Amethyst than fierce no-nonsense warriors. How did Pearl feel about it? As far as Rose Quartz was concerned, from Rose's Scabbard and We Need To Talk Pearl was completely devoted to and actually jealously obsessed with the one we assume was her mistress. In any superior/subordinate situation, if your boss is a jerk and incapable you probably won't have any respect for him or her; if your boss is competent and treats subordinates civilly you will probably respect and admire him/her. Rose Quartz seems to be about the sole Gem who didn't care about the Gem class structure and treated all Gems equally according to their character. As I posted before, a Gem's SOP seems to denigrate any lower-ranking Gem while being expected to be over-the-top servile to your superiors. Unpleasant all around. Keep in mind what Bismuth said about the sword she created. Yes, Rose's sword has a rose motif on the guard and pommel, Pearl herself described it back in Rose's Scabbard. There were a surprising number of fans who shipped Andy and Holly Blue Agate. Similar personalities and outrageous comments towards others, I suppose. I was thinking that the Zoo must have been a death camp for its first inmates, if Gems knew nothing about human needs, nutrition, psychology or genetics.
Could you compile a list of like your top 5 (maybe 10 if there's alot) episodes, your top 3 to 5 songs (now that you have the context) and like a list of your top 10 theories then react to them after you finish everything (as far as you were planning to go). It would be nice to see you first see how it unfolds then see how close or how far off you were. Man if you were in my friend group, it would have been lit to theorize about SU together. Theorizing is how we survived SU hiatuses when Cartoon Network was messing around with airing the show.
Nah that zoo episode was crazy asf There's a zoo bc Blue wanted to save some humans before earth got destroyed as a way to carry on Pink's legacy. The humans are being told what to do because that's just how Homeworld works. You don't have choices you just do whatever your leader tells you do (the voice in that case). And they need to be married in order to continue repopulating I'm assuming. Maybe dead humans go in the disposable human shoot and the younger just stay in the zoo until the next marriage. Also last note, I feel like there's some type of brain washing with the voice in that zoo episode. Greg has only been there for a little and he's already used to the sleep schedule and has gotten along with everyone.
Here’s something that can help. Every gem in the show, there are multiple of that kind. They’re not unique or their own person. There are thousands of each kind all made for a specific purpose to operate as a society. Thousands of Pearls, thousands of Rose Quartzes, and thousands of Agates.
Jaspers and amethysts are both quartz, they are just different colored. Just like Rose quartz. All amethysts are some shade of purple, while jaspers vary from yellow to orange and red. Rose quartzes are pink etc.
YES! I completely hate ALL forms of ranks and hierarchies. I can't stand ANY system that places any person/group above another. So if there's a manager, a boss, a captain, a king, a president, a chief, a supervisor, a commander, or ANYTHING of the sort, I disagree with it and will have no part in it. Nobody is above me or better than me and nobody can tell me what to do. It works both ways of course, I don't see myself above anyone else, nor do I want to have power or control over others. I don't let people boss me around, and I don't boss them around either. That goes for parents, teachers, police, or anyone too, titles mean nothing to me xD Everybody matters and everybody counts. I would never value one life above another.
In the real world, Amethyst is a type of quartz, so is rose quartz. In-universe, quartzs were made on Earth, and seem to have been made with a larger percentage of Pink Diamond's power, kinda like how blue gems are made of more of Blue Diamond's power on likely one of her colonies Spoiler 15:30 Its kinda sweet seeing how tiny, half diamond steven is so much stronger than his father. His first little weak, holding back punch compared to the second, which knocked Greg back pretty darn far...
with the choosining, it makes sense. that way they do not over or underpopulate and also will try to match people who are the least related to stop birth defects from in$est perhaps?
It appears she acts like that because Rose helped her be who she wanted to be and when they were on HomeWorld if you didn’t abide by the rules David either shatter you they would prove you in bubble you or they will hit you with a regenerator that will make you act is brand new so if you didn’t act the way you were supposed to they would fix it
Ruby works as a guard and worked for Sapphire as works for other gems but I don’t know if shes in Blue Diamond’s court because Yellow diamond has yellow gems and Blue diamond has Blue gems and Steven is Pink Jasper is mostly orange and Ruby is Red and it could be that Rubies are apart of Pink Diamonds court
There is an explanation for the humans being in the Zoo, but... you're not ready for it yet, there's a lot more you need to learn. It is explained down the line, but not for a while
I like his reactions but he needs to realize his questions would be answered if he lets it play out, then he forgets a lot especially if it's something he said.
Since they were part of earth I guess they have to protect the earth zoo I don’t like agate cheeseburgers she’s like Pearl but more high class God I don’t like her😂
Holly blue agate is a type of chalcedony, a mix between quartz and moganite. Both of those are silicon dioxide, but moganite has a different crystal structure. The blue color comes from iron content. The name blue holly agate comes from the Greek Acates (a river where agate was historically sought), the English blue (blue), and the name Holley (a place in Oregon that is the only source of holly blue agate). 7 on the Mohs scale. Agate isn't a traditional birthstone for any month, but it is for the astronomical sign Gemini. Symbolically, they're meant to encourage productivity, which is fitting enough, and also fitting is that her hair has stripes that make it like an agate geode. It's rather ironic that she is so dismissive of her amethysts for being from Earth, given that she's a Gem that, irl, is only found on Earth.
1. Bismuth says that she created rose's sword
2. The reason the zoo isn't like a prison or anything was explained by Holly blue. "Humans don't take well to captivity"
#2 makes me think about the first humans and what they had to go through before they got the paradise they have now. 😢
@@ViaCRoz nah pretty sure pink made sure they adjusted well
@@jervisangelopitao7118 true.
After watching season 5, you'll understand the real point of the zoo.
The amethysts, jasper, and rose are all quartz’s, I’m pretty sure it’s the color that differentiates the specific names for example all Amethysts are some shade of purple
To elaborate, quartz Gems are all military class. Like Holly Blue Agate.
On top of that, there tend to be many sub-types of agates, jaspers, and amethysts. e.g. Zebra Jasper, Biggs Jasper, Ocean Jasper, Blue Lace Agate, Lace Amethyst
Not only the colors, but the gem shape and cut
No! We've seen purple and pink jaspers, the difference is what they can do! Jaspers are usually way skinnier, carnelians are shorter, and roses are caretakers! Amethyst are the average soilder quartz!
@@flormira9911 nah jaspers don’t tend to be skinnier and carnelians don’t tend to be shorter, skinny and the carnelian we saw in the human zoo were both defective wich holly blue also stated
Also they didn't question pearls outfit and really object to her not acting correctly because as Peridot stated back in season 2, her outfit and form was "fancy", so they probably just see that she's a "newer and better model" and ignore it.

I was always more confused about why nobody reacts to Ruby and Sapphire not exactly wearing Homeworld uniforms. Like, there's no diamond insignia to signify which diamond they serve. Ruby is dressed so differently from a normal Ruby, with the headband and lack of diamond sigil. A sapphire can probably get away with it but it still looks suspicious to me.
@@emri2275 "Custom made property" will make more sense once you watch the movie and see that particular scene.

Roses sword has an extremely obvious rose and thorn pattern on the hilt. Bismuth also clearly stated that she made the sword.
15:50 Yep. Steven was just going easy on his dad, no power neutralization going on here.
The zoo is pink diamonds, they said it in one of the episodes last video
Bismuth made Rose's sword
1. Jaspers, Amathysts and Roses are Quartz and all were created on earth.
2. Bismuth made Rose's sword.
3. Two episodes back, blue diamond said she wants to preserve Pink's diamond legacy by keeping all Pink's gems (Amathysts, Jaspers, etc.) And the human zoo.

Theorizing is how we survived SU hiatuses when Cartoon Network was messing around with airing the show.
impossible, bismuth made rose's sword
Nah that zoo episode was crazy asf
There's a zoo bc Blue wanted to save some humans before earth got destroyed as a way to carry on Pink's legacy.
The humans are being told what to do because that's just how Homeworld works. You don't have choices you just do whatever your leader tells you do (the voice in that case). And they need to be married in order to continue repopulating I'm assuming. Maybe dead humans go in the disposable human shoot and the younger just stay in the zoo until the next marriage.
Also last note, I feel like there's some type of brain washing with the voice in that zoo episode. Greg has only been there for a little and he's already used to the sleep schedule and has gotten along with everyone.
Here’s something that can help. Every gem in the show, there are multiple of that kind. They’re not unique or their own person. There are thousands of each kind all made for a specific purpose to operate as a society. Thousands of Pearls, thousands of Rose Quartzes, and thousands of Agates.
OKAY EVERYONE, ANY THEORIES HE HAS (TRUE OR FALSE) WE WILL SAY NOTHING ABOUT.
Jaspers and amethysts are both quartz, they are just different colored. Just like Rose quartz.
All amethysts are some shade of purple, while jaspers vary from yellow to orange and red. Rose quartzes are pink etc.
Scoot:”What if rose is…? Me:”Yes? Scoot:”WHAT IF SHE STOLE HER SWORD!” Me:”Dude.😭”
Gareg best name
Im naming my kid gareg
Jay-Ten is a baddie 😩
Quartz is a cut of crystal, it just means they were built a certain way
YES! I completely hate ALL forms of ranks and hierarchies. I can't stand ANY system that places any person/group above another. So if there's a manager, a boss, a captain, a king, a president, a chief, a supervisor, a commander, or ANYTHING of the sort, I disagree with it and will have no part in it. Nobody is above me or better than me and nobody can tell me what to do. It works both ways of course, I don't see myself above anyone else, nor do I want to have power or control over others. I don't let people boss me around, and I don't boss them around either. That goes for parents, teachers, police, or anyone too, titles mean nothing to me xD Everybody matters and everybody counts. I would never value one life above another.
In the real world, Amethyst is a type of quartz, so is rose quartz. In-universe, quartzs were made on Earth, and seem to have been made with a larger percentage of Pink Diamond's power, kinda like how blue gems are made of more of Blue Diamond's power on likely one of her colonies
Spoiler
15:30 Its kinda sweet seeing how tiny, half diamond steven is so much stronger than his father. His first little weak, holding back punch compared to the second, which knocked Greg back pretty darn far...
you are like 8 months later
9:15 Bismuth said that she made her sword before this :'3
Don’t worry, you’ll get Pearl backstory eventually. Season 5 has a good bit of it ;)
with the choosining, it makes sense. that way they do not over or underpopulate and also will try to match people who are the least related to stop birth defects from in$est perhaps?
The human zoo really wasnt all that weird bro, like thats just how it is
Human zoos are sadly a real thing. It's the dehumanizing result of colonial imperialism. The Bronx zoo had a human on exhibit named Ota Benga.
It appears she acts like that because Rose helped her be who she wanted to be and when they were on HomeWorld if you didn’t abide by the rules David either shatter you they would prove you in bubble you or they will hit you with a regenerator that will make you act is brand new so if you didn’t act the way you were supposed to they would fix it
Amythest, Jasper, and rose quartz all fallen into the quartz classes.
Bismuth made her sword and it has the rose thorns around its hills with flower petals on the hem.
Bro we when through this already bismuth said that she’s the one who made the sword 🗡😜😂
Ruby works as a guard and worked for Sapphire as works for other gems but I don’t know if shes in Blue Diamond’s court because Yellow diamond has yellow gems and Blue diamond has Blue gems and Steven is Pink Jasper is mostly orange and Ruby is Red and it could be that Rubies are apart of Pink Diamonds court
Why does the voice that was telling them to do sound like the voice actor for Marinette/Ladybug
With the zoo being so safe and stuff I wouldn't be suprised if that one hurt person was just giving birth or something
hes so close to the big twist tho
We just explained to you, there are variety of quartzes.
Lemme get this straight, you get that it's to "repopulate" but then you tell Greg to play along 💀
Remember Bismuth told Steven she made Rose’s sword
Waiting for that will be all 👁️👁️
Rose's sword
Don't u remember bismuth said herself she made the sword. So it's not pink diamonds. 👀👀👀
Oh 👁️👁️
There is an explanation for the humans being in the Zoo, but... you're not ready for it yet, there's a lot more you need to learn. It is explained down the line, but not for a while
Bro doesn't know about rocks😭
Bro when you finish SU i recommend u watch regular show, is a very funny show and it has a crazy character development through the seasons.
I really don’t mind the pausing cuz you always have something interesting to say
you do pause a lot, but that's why I'm watching, soooooo thank you :)
I need 1 more episodes this should have been 3 episode set
I never noticed, bu there are no babies or children in the zoo, so what does the choosening do exactly?
You have to u deter and even tho they are gems the diamonds are like family and pink is the youngest
Bismuth made Rose's sword. Rose's sword does indeed have a rose motif on the pommel. Do you think Rose is the same size as a Diamond?
Yes yes yes thx 😊
Sure is convenient all the gems speak english
Same with the humans in the zoo
@@MB-hh2dh that one is kinda understandable, because they dont speak perfectly, but yeah
I like his reactions but he needs to realize his questions would be answered if he lets it play out, then he forgets a lot especially if it's something he said.
I can aford patreon lol😢
Don't think just watch go with flow
5:20
i prefer the pausing :)
Hi scooooottt
Since they were part of earth I guess they have to protect the earth zoo I don’t like agate cheeseburgers she’s like Pearl but more high class God I don’t like her😂
Holly blue agate is a type of chalcedony, a mix between quartz and moganite. Both of those are silicon dioxide, but moganite has a different crystal structure. The blue color comes from iron content. The name blue holly agate comes from the Greek Acates (a river where agate was historically sought), the English blue (blue), and the name Holley (a place in Oregon that is the only source of holly blue agate). 7 on the Mohs scale. Agate isn't a traditional birthstone for any month, but it is for the astronomical sign Gemini. Symbolically, they're meant to encourage productivity, which is fitting enough, and also fitting is that her hair has stripes that make it like an agate geode. It's rather ironic that she is so dismissive of her amethysts for being from Earth, given that she's a Gem that, irl, is only found on Earth.
What were u talking about jasper's and amethysts bruh 😂😂
yo
Pls watch amphibia
whyyyyy, why you always overthinking everything that happens, it starting to get on my nervs bro, even more than the pausing thing
