So I was reading this post about the temple fusion possibly being the thing that took down Pink Diamond and I–

“Who cares about her shield? Her huge sword is what I remember.”

(meanwhile, three seasons ago)

I don’t know about you, but THAT’S the kind of sword I’d use to shatter a diamond.

EDIT: MAYBE THAT’S WHY FUSIONS ARE SEEN AS NOTHING BUT WAR MACHINES? BECAUSE A FUSION SHATTERED PINK DIAMOND?
