| The best part was Sensei showing sense of humour again. |
 |
| So Phos got strong and also became dead inside? I can honestly see none of the old Phos now, and nobody seems to mind it? I guess one could attribute it to him losing both arms but he was still childish up until Antarc got taken even though the memories were also lost back then. Anyway he might actually be stronger than Bort right now, or at least has the potential to be stronger than Bort. That golden-platinum alloy is really OP if he were to master it. |
 |
| I love how Phos went from being serious (since losing Antarc) to just messing around with the rest of the gems as soon as they woke up. Just shows how much pain she was going through by itself. As for and Auron_ said: (and I'm sure a few more) complaining about Phos' character change, it's exactly because Phos lost Antarc and was forced to go through Winter alone, where-as normally Phos was always the gem that was teased for being lazy, weak and not useful, basically a plaything for the other gems.... Also because Phos lost a fair amount of memories now with losing it's arms and legs AND the gold / platinum alloy changing Phos even more, seeing as they commented on it's height difference and what not. |

| I Dont like Phos new hairstyle why. And everyone kinda switched up on her they reallly didnt care about her too much untill she had those new arms |
| I like this new design! (Though I kinda like the old one more) Phos became popular real quick too |
| I kinda like how Phos acts now better than he did before.. i hope thats not mean but he's like more mature and ahisodfhasdfs its just cool |
| While I enjoy the mature transition of Pho, I miss the goofy, lazy cute Pho... the new PTSD Pho is cool and all, but no longer has that goofy charm. Bring back goofy Pho! |
 I say goodbye unto you, And with this parting, My most beautiful dream dies inside me... But I tell you goodbye, For the rest of life, Even if I spend all life thinking about you. |
| Funny episode. The gems playing with the new Phos was so hilarious. xD They looked so cute when they got scared of her new abilities. |

| 1/5 I hate this. I understand why phos changed and all but I hate it. That depressed and emotionless personality is one that I despise and this series is no exception. I miss the old phos. What an utter disappointment. I hate her new design too Phos looks super strong now though.. like wow. I didn't expected the arms to be so overpowered lmao |
 |
| A lot of things happend this episode. Everyone woke up, saw the new Phos and started assaulting her LOL. One wanted to fix her, the other one wanted to touch her e and what more. It felt like a slice of life for a bit. Made me smile a lot. But, Phos changed a lot. His stronger than ever. In the inside, Phos is still the same. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I handled Antarcticite's death pretty well, so I thought I could handle Phos' drastic change as well... But that's actually painful. My baby. My precious ball of innocence. Look at them now. All strong but all depressed. Let me hug them. (It's still reassuring to see they still have some of their adorable dorky self, though it seems to be more of a facade than anything...) I also find that very sad how gems are only now treating Phos like an actual person and keep reminding them of how much they've changed. They were so much happier before, now they're finally accepted, but at what cost ? Plus, the gems aren't even treating them as an equal, they're basically just a toy with their stretchy arms. Poor thing. And the look on Bort's face is worrying me, it looks like they're jealous of Phos' new popularity, I hope they're not planning anything bad. |

| Phosphophyllite has significantly changed both ins and outs. She is far more capable than all of the gems when it comes to reconnaissance, defence and offence due to her alloy. In fact, one might say that she has become OP! In addition to that, her mannerism has become more elegant and refined, she's no longer the childish and immature pain in the ass that she once was. No more endless days of messing about it, there exist only work from here on out. For that, it's great that her fellow gems are so intrigued about her metamorphosis, they bring in the careless joy and casual acts of friendship that would be void in this new Phos. Out of all the gems, Bort became the one who could relate to Phos the most being the strongest one before Phos' transformation. Though despite that, as can be seen in the end, I do not think that Bort took this change idly. I sense that she is beginning to feel jealousy toward Phos now that she can effortlessly and singlehandedly dispatched an entire Lunarian attack, a feat once was only possible for Bort to execute. So this golden metal isn't just gold alone, it's platinum-gold alloy! The most wear-resistant metal in the world and is 100 times more durable than high-strength steel. It's said that this alloy is in the same class as diamond and sapphire, only that in this story, the alloy can be formed into various forms because of how Phos can alter its fluidity and shape. For that fact alone, Phos has become one of if not the strongest combatant on Earth, if it's not already clear. Although Phos has become less apathetic, she still retains some of her personality, as the only gem that can physically cry, she's the most 'human' out of the gems. |

| Damn this episode, really liked this sudden transition in Phos's character. Waiting all the way through 9 episodes was definitely worth. Though i guess him losing a good part of his memory does play a role in it. Also that reaction from Bort in the end was within expectations. |

I didn't expected the arms to be so overpowered lmao I'm also no big fan of radical personality changes, especially not fond of gloomy characters. But there are plenty of people totally into that because they can relate or some bs along these lines. On the bright side of things, it works for me here and Phos is finally kicking ass. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| gold power up, i am wondering if the lunarians are even a threat at this point, she seems too OP even Bort seems jelous of her now |
 |
| New Phos is OP but old Phos was hilarious. If they find her hands maybe she'll return(?) Animation has been amazing |
 |
| That scene where all the gems gather around the table and Sensei picks up Jade..... So adorable! It's funny seeing the gems acting more childlike while Phos is acting serious, and a little sad too. |
