Don't worry, Peridot. It's our sworn duty to protect anything that calls this planet home, and that includes clods like you.

Garnet

"Hit the Diamond" is the 5th episode of the third season of Steven Universe and the 83rd episode overall.

Synopsis

Steven and the Gems engage in an old-fashioned game of baseball.[1]

Plot

Steven and the Gems are amazed to see five Ruby soldiers sent by Yellow Diamond coming out of a tracking vessel. Garnet unfuses so that Ruby can infiltrate the group and discover their purpose, which in turn causes suspicions. To prevent them from searching the area and finding Peridot, Stevens proposes a baseball match: If the Rubies win, they can search the barn, but if the Crystal Gems win, the Rubies will have to leave Earth forever. The first team consists of Steven, Pearl, Amethyst, Sapphire, and Lapis Lazuli, all disguised as humans. The second team consists of the group of Rubies, one of which being the Ruby infiltrating them.

Trivia

  • This is the first time Garnet has been shown to voluntarily unfuse.
  • Sapphire's legs are shown for the first time.
  • Rubies are revealed to be typically somewhat inane:
    • The leader of the Rubies forgets to count herself when accounting for her troops, nor did the other Rubies notice, allowing Ruby to pretend to be one of them without too much diligence.
    • They all believed that they needed to play baseball to search the barn.
    • They did not notice that the disguised Gems were using Gem abilities.
    • They were easily fooled by Steven's claims that Jasper, the "leader" of the Earth mission, is on Neptune, a planet 2.7 - 2.9 billion miles away.
  • In the episode's ending credits, the five Rubies are given designated nicknames:
    • Eyeball, the Ruby with her gemstone placed where her left eye would be.
    • Doc, the Ruby with her gemstone placed on her chest.
    • Army, the Ruby with her gemstone placed on her left shoulder.
    • Navy, the Ruby with her gemstone placed on her naval.
    • Leggy, the Ruby with her gemstone placed on her left leg.
  • This episode first premiered on Cartoon Network France.
  • This episode's name was first revealed in the episode listing on the Cartoon Network website.[2]
  • Promotional content for the episode was first shown on Cartoon Network's mobile application, "Cartoon Network Anything."

Cultural References

  • "Hit the diamond" is a popular expression used to mean "play baseball". The bases are in the shape of a diamond when viewed from overhead, so the "diamond" is the field.
  • While Steven explains the rules of baseball to the Rubies, an instrumental version of the song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is played. The song is performed at most professional baseball games and is closely associated with the game.

Continuity

  • The Ruby troops all don the same hairstyle as the Ruby guards in "The Answer".
  • Lapis' human name, "Bob", is possibly a reference to Steven's line "No prob, Bob" from "Ocean Gem".

Errors

  • Ruby's gem is missing in multiple shots: when Army punches her after she strikes out at the start of the game, and while she watches Sapphire hit the ball at the end of the game.
