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.
 * Steven Bomb 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 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 references 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 Steven Bomb ("Chille Tid" and "Friend Ship") were both represented by a question mark in the promo art.
 * StevenBomb 3 is the first StevenBomb where Connie and Malachite don't make appearances.
 * 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 and StevenBomb 3 introduced Sardonyx.
 * Also, each StevenBomb has Peridot in at least one episode.
 * StevenBomb 1 "The Return"/"Jail Break", StevenBomb 2 "Keeping it Together" and StevenBomb 3 "Cry for Help"/"Friend Ship".
 * As well as that each introduces a side fusion.
 * StevenBomb 1 reveals Garnet's status as a fusion, StevenBomb 2 introduces the Cluster Gems and StevenBomb 3 silhouettes an Unknown Fusion Gem.
 * And in each one reappears at least one fusion.
 * In StevenBomb 1 Opal, in StevenBomb 2 Malachite and in StevenBomb 3 Sugilite.
 * So far every StevenBomb has a theme that streches 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".
 * 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.
 * Steven Bomb 1 is the only Steven Bomb to have 6 episodes instead of 5.
