== Trivia ==
* StevenBomb 1 marked the beginning of the new airing time for ''Steven Universe'' at 10:00&nbsp;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 later StevenBombs.<ref>https://twitter.com/GregoyrDavis/status/624017537303486464<br />Q: ''"Has the order for episodes been changed these past two steven bombs like it happened in the first?"''<br />https://twitter.com/mcburnett/status/624022059622883329<br />A: ''"No."''</ref>

* The clip from "Cry for Help" introducing Pearl and Garnet's fusion was shown at [[San Diego Comic-Con|SDCC 2015]].
* Promotional artwork for the first StevenBomb shows a panicked Steven running with a lit bomb in his hands. This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Batman (1966 film)|film adaptation]] of the [[Wikipedia:Batman (TV series)|1960s Batman series]] starring [[Wikipedia:Adam West|Adam West]], in which Batman runs through a seaside town trying to get rid of a bomb.

** And, in each Bomb except the fifth, at least one fusion reappears.
*** [[Opal]] in StevenBombs 1 and 4, [[Stevonnie]] and Malachite in StevenBomb 2, [[Sugilite]] in StevenBomb 3, [[Alexandrite]] in StevenBomb 6, and [[Rainbow Quartz]] and Alexandrite in StevenBomb 7.
