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 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, 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 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 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 the third, she was mentioned by Peridot in "Cry for Help". In the fourth, a silhouette of Lapis is seen in "The Answer", but it's unknown if it's the same Lapis Lazuli who debuted in "Mirror Gem".
