Trivia

 * StevenBomb 1 marked the beginning of the new airing time for Steven Universe at 10:00 p.m. UTC.
 * Episodes within the airing cycle were moved around to make the StevenBomb 1 plot line flow better. These episodes include stand-alone episodes from season 1 ("Open Book", "Story for Steven" and "Shirt Club") and "Full Disclosure", a season 2 episode.
 * The schedule adjustments also resulted in the 2015 April Fools' Day episode "Say Uncle" airing during Season 2 instead of Season 1.
 * The episode airing order did not need to be adjusted for StevenBomb 2 or StevenBomb 3.
 * The name was derived from the opening scene in "Garnet's Universe", where Steven "Steven bombs" Garnet from the rafters as she returns from a mission.
 * StevenBomb 2 marked the beginning of a new airing time of Steven Universe at 11:00 p.m. UTC.
 * Cartoon Network confirmed the second StevenBomb beforehand via phone call.
 * Like the first StevenBomb, the first episode of StevenBomb 2 aired with an episode involving Pearl's and Rose Quartz's relationship.
 * The third, however, was somewhat involved with Garnet and Pearl's relationship.
 * The fourth involved Ruby and Sapphire's relationship.
 * The fusion of Pearl and Garnet, Sardonyx, was introduced in StevenBomb 3.
 * In addition, this StevenBomb is referred to as "#weekofsardonyx" on the staff's Tumblr.
 * A promotional art for the first StevenBomb shows a panicked Steven running with a lit bomb in his hands. This is a reference to the film adaptation of the 1960s Batman series starring Adam West, in which Batman runs through a seaside town trying to get rid of a bomb.
 * The final episode of the second and third StevenBomb ("Chille Tid" and "Friend Ship") were both represented by a question mark in the promo art.
 * StevenBomb 3 is the only StevenBomb so far where Connie does not make an appearance (though she is mentioned).
 * StevenBombs tend to act as a countdown to an apocalyptic scenario that is to occur in the future.
 * So far, each StevenBomb has introduced a new fusion.
 * StevenBomb 1 introduced Malachite, StevenBomb 2 introduced Rainbow Quartz, StevenBomb 3 introduced Sardonyx and StevenBomb 4 introduced the Ruby Gem fusion.
 * Also, each StevenBomb has Peridot in at least one episode.
 * StevenBomb 1: "The Return"/"Jail Break"; StevenBomb 2: "Keeping it Together"; StevenBomb 3: "Cry for Help"/"Friend Ship"; and StevenBomb 4: All except "The Answer".
 * As well as that each introduces a side fusion.
 * StevenBomb 1 reveals Garnet's status as a fusion, StevenBomb 2 introduces the Cluster Gems, StevenBomb 3 silhouettes an Unknown Fusion Gem and StevenBomb 4 reveals the result of a fusion of gems of the same type.
 * And in each one reappears at least one fusion.
 * Opal in StevenBombs 1 and 4, Stevonnie and Malachite in StevenBomb 2, and Sugilite in StevenBomb 3.
 * Garnet also refuses in StevenBomb 1, 3, and 4. The 4th also shows the first time Ruby and Sapphire fused.
 * So far every StevenBomb has a theme that stretches through most of the episodes that air in it.
 * StevenBomb 1's theme is the Gem Homeworld invasion by Peridot.
 * StevenBomb 2's theme revolves around the word "do" or "doing", as evidenced by:
 * The "Do it for Her" song and the quote "Why won't you just let me do this for you, Rose!", by Pearl, in "Sworn to the Sword".
 * The quote "What have I done?! What had I done? I done bad" in "Rising Tides, Crashing Skies".
 * The song "What Can I Do" in "We Need to Talk".
 * The quote "Just let me do this for you!", by Lapis Lazuli, in "Chille Tid".
 * Interestingly enough, the first episode of StevenBomb 3, that is, the first episode immediately after StevenBomb 2, "Cry for Help", also features a song with the word "do", "Tower of Mistakes", in the lyric "Is there something I can do?" repeated several times.
 * StevenBomb 3's theme was Sardonyx and the conflict revolving her, Garnet and Pearl.
 * In a thread raising concerns about leaked content, writer Matt Burnett foreshadowed this conflict by jokingly describing StevenBomb 3 as revolving around "Pearl hitting rock bottom".
 * StevenBomb 4's theme is Steven's birthday, as well as Peridot's redemption.
 * In each StevenBomb, at least one Crystal Gem sings.
 * In StevenBomb 1, Garnet sings "Stronger Than You" and Steven sings "Full Disclosure".
 * In StevenBomb 2, Pearl sings "Do it for Her" and Rose sings "What Can I Do".
 * In StevenBomb 3, Amethyst sings "Tower of Mistakes".
 * In StevenBomb 4, Ruby and Sapphire sing "Something Entirely New" and all of them (with Peridot) sing "Peace and Love (On Planet Earth)".
 * StevenBomb 1 is so far the only StevenBomb to have more than 5 episodes.
 * It is revealed in StevenBomb 4 that Steven's 14 years old, and that Connie's age is 12¾.
 * Ruby and Sapphire were featured in some form in one episode from each StevenBomb.
 * In the first StevenBomb, they were first introduced and fuse with each other in "Jail Break", in StevenBomb 2, the were constantly being mentioned throughout the episode "Keeping It Together", they almost unfuse in the same episode. In StevenBomb 3, they unfuse in the episode "Keystone Motel" and in StevenBomb 4, Garnet was telling a story about them in "The Answer".
 * So far each StevenBomb has Garnet without her visor in at least one episode.
 * In "The Return" (StevenBomb 1), Garnet is shown without her visor when hit by the Gem Destabilizer, and "Jail Break" (StevenBomb 1) shows Garnet without her visor shortly after her formation. The hand cluster takes off Garnet's visor in "Keeping it Together" (StevenBomb 2), when Garnet says "That's fusion." in "We Need to Talk" (StevenBomb 2), her red eye winks at Greg. Garnet takes off her visor while she says "I can be brash, you can be reckless. And we can both get carried away." in "Cry for Help" (StevenBomb 3), "The Answer" (StevenBomb 4) has no sight of Garnet wearing her visor, and in "Steven's Birthday" (StevenBomb 4), Garnet removes her shades in an unsuccessful attempt to get baby Steven to stop crying.
