There is a difference between a villain, antagonist, and bad guy.


 * A villain is someone who is evil and wicked and only wants what benefits themself only. (e.g. Frieza from DBZ; capital tyrant)
 * An antagonist is someone who serves as an obstacle separating the protagonists' goal from themself. (e.g. Jasper, Navy, etc. from being subdued by Steven)
 * A bad guy is someone who commits wicked acts for the sake of achieving their own idea of justice. (Jin Kazama in Tekken 6; kills people to summon Azazel who is the true evil Jin wants to kill)


 * 1. Jasper fits antagonist more because she is not committing evil acts but is carrying out her duties for Homeworld, even refusing to submit to Steven because Rose is the one that shattered Pink Diamond.


 * 2. Navy is unhinged thanks to the exposure of empty space that the crystal gems caused her and the ruby squad to be in as they, again, simply carry out the acts for Homeworld.


 * 3. Eyeball wanted to murder Steven for prestige, yes, but it would also be avenging Pink Diamond and pleasing Homeworld for shattering the last bit of a sentient Rose Quartz.

Overall, a villain does not exist in this show.
