Once upon a time, the Gem Homeworld was ruled by Diamonds: White, Yellow, Blue, and the littlest Diamond, Pink. While the other Diamonds conquered many worlds across the galaxy, Pink had only one - the planet Earth. One day, Pink fled the comforts of Homeworld. On Earth, she made a new home, new friends, and finally, new life, giving up her form to bequeath her Gem to her half-human son. Without Pink, Gemkind fell into an era of despair. But when Steven Universe learned of his heritage, he reunited with his fellow Diamonds and championed a new era of peace and freedom across the furthest reaches of space.

Steven Universe Future[]

  • Steven heals Cherry Quartz and introduces her to life in Beach City and Little Homeworld.
  • After learning about a Gem who refuses to join Little Homeworld, Steven discovers Jasper living alone in the woods. He tries and fails to convince her to join him to the point of fighting her, unleashing a destructive new power in the process.
  • After learning that Amethyst has given all the Gems of Little Homeworld jobs similar to their previous occupations, Steven tries to get them out of their comfort zones by assigning them different tasks, sending the Boardwalk into chaos.
  • The Zoomans take over Pink Diamond's Zoo and arrive on Earth. The Rose Quartzes are also unbubbled, and Steven and the Crystal Gems have an awkward sleepover with three of them.
  • Steven tries to heal Pink Pearl's injury, learning that Pink Diamond was responsible for her missing eye. Steven, Pearl, and Pink Pearl travel to The Reef to heal her, only to learn that her scar is a psychological wound caused by one of Pink Diamond's temper tantrums. Fed up with the controversy surrounding his mother, Steven angrily destroys part of The Reef, causing Shell to trap both Pearls in an attempt to reprogram them. Pearl and Pink Pearl form Mega Pearl for the first time and escape The Reef with Steven.
  • Bluebird Azurite arrives at the Beach House and befriends the Crystal Gems (and Greg). She betrays the Gems but is defeated by Alexandrite and forced to defuse into her components, Aquamarine and "Eyeball", who depart.
  • Steven and Lapis go to an alien planet where they find two Lapis Lazulis who are still terraforming planets. They are Nice Lapis and Mean Lapis. Steven tells both Lapis Lazulis about Little Homeschool and by the episode's conclusion, Nice Lapis shows up and joins the school.
  • Steven throws a graduation party for the graduating class in Little Homeschool, but his feelings of anxiety about his friends moving on in their lives without him trigger his pink state and he involuntarily traps him and his friends in a dome-shaped bubble. However, after a pep talk from his friends, Steven realizes he needs to let his friends live their own lives and deactivates the dome.
  • Steven takes up gardening after he quits his position as a teacher at Little Homeschool, and accidentally brings his cactus to life using his phytokinesis. The cactus (later named Cactus Steven) copies what others say, and when Steven starts to dump his emotional baggage on him, he starts becoming more negative and deformed in the process. After a fight between Cactus Steven and the Crystal Gems, Steven apologizes to Cactus Steven putting his negative emotions on him, and Cactus Steven leaves Steven's house on good terms but destroys part of the house.
  • Steven and Peridot watch a reboot of Camp Pining Hearts but aren't satisfied with the result. After discovering he can alter the program through his dreams, Steven and Peridot attempt to exploit this, with nearly fatal results due to Steven's underlying trauma.
  • Steven, Connie, Bismuth, and Pearl go roller skating, culminating in a skating contest won by Stevonnie. Steven is awkwardly introduced to Connie's other friends.
  • After getting separate advice from Ruby and Sapphire, Steven proposes to Connie, asking her to be Stevonnie with him forever. However, she turns him down due to their current age and her plans for college but promises to save the question for another time, leaving him somewhat heartbroken.
  • Steven goes to the doctor for the first time in an attempt to learn more about his new powers. Unfortunately, his insecurities and recent rejection cause him to destroy much of Dr. Maheswaran's office.
  • Steven and Greg go on a road trip, during which Steven learns more about his paternal grandparents. Realizing that his mother and father have too much in common, Steven angrily destroys Greg's van.
  • Steven seeks out Jasper to learn to control his powers. After three days of intense training, Steven fights Jasper to the point of shattering her. Upon being revived, Jasper finally recognizes Steven as a Diamond, but he isn't too happy about it.
  • In desperation, Steven goes to the Diamonds to learn how to control his powers, reuniting with Spinel along the way. After nearly shattering White Diamond when she allows him to control her, Steven realizes how dangerous he is and quickly leaves.
  • Once back on Earth, Steven attempts to help out around Little Homeworld, but only ends up making things worse. Connie, Greg, and the Crystal Gems have an intervention, but Steven doubles down on his insecurities, finally transforming him into a monster.
  • Steven's friends and family work together to bring his new corrupted form under control and eventually succeed by giving him unconditional love, with Connie sealing the deal with a kiss. After returning to normal, Steven finally breaks down, letting out years of held-in emotions.
  • Steven gradually heals from his meltdown over the next few months with the help of his family and friends, as well as a therapist. He also finally upgrades his relationship with Connie from best friends to a romantic couple.
  • Steven leaves Beach City to see the world, but not before wishing everyone close to him a heartfelt goodbye.
