I think contend and or agree that there is one diamond with three personas/forms. I'm hoping for Zod, or Aokiji from One Piece (Rebecca loves one piece), or Brooke Augustine from Infamous Second Son, or Meruem from Hunter x Hunter.

Those are all villains that seem ruthless but either go through a reasonable change in heart, or have the backstory and reason to be the way they are. I'm shooting for Meruem the most, because he started off as purely evil, but one outstanding underdog eventually showed him the way to enlightment and not necessarily goodness but at least empathy and justifiable action. Meruem never stopped being the villain, but you understood him by the end. Zod is just a patriot looking for the greater good of his people. Aokiji fought pirates because he knows the evil that many of them are capable of and the marines general side with the common man while pirates only do what they want. Brooke Augustine from Infamous Second Son is most likely how Diamond will end up being. If you understand that a person is doing bad things, but have a moral justification to it, they can remain a villain because they're doing bad things but you also leave from for plot/character growth by the end of the conflict. That's the kind of character the Diamond has to be if Steven is supposed to be able to do what Rose couldn't like Garnet prophesizes.
