Steven's been slowly developing for 50 episodes and in some episodes, days and weeks pass by "marble madness". This is relevant to Diamond. Stevonnie can take a Diamond. If the Diamond hierarchy is three gems, Stevonnie may take one down. Maybe a couple more episodes of buildup ands hints are needed yes, but I don't expect this who to stay slow forever especially as more Gem's show up. I don't want it too. Not AS slow. Again, classic anime rules. Start off slow, then start to reel it in and I gotta tell you after Jail Break..the time has come to pick up plot placing for sure. I mean we're already about to see Peridot's ship in the next episode potentially. Steven has been through subtle test after subtle test time and time again. This is a kids show but they're not gonna keep spoon feeding us content forever. Garnet's "death" in the return was the beacon for more impacting, higher paced moments. In The return in jail break we lost garnet, got her back, met a new jem, fought that gem twice, met a new fusion, saw lapis and then lost her. The pacing is speeding up and I trust Rebecca to still keep that slice of of life nature but it will not inhibit Stevonnie's growth at all and when it comes down to facing Diamond(s), she has the potential to wreck shop.
