History Recap / StevenUniverseS2E10RisingTidesCrashingSkies

* MagicIsAMonsterMagnet:

* SuperheroParadox: Ronaldo argues that the Crystal Gems put Beach City in danger by attracting monsters, as well as the attack by the Homeworld Gems. Pearl agrees that they do [[SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious attract Gem monsters]], but points out that they were at Beach City before any humans moved in.

** "Danger on the Boardwalk: The Truth about the Most Dangerous Boardwalk".

-->'''Ronaldo:''' Unbelievable--''[[BaitAndSwitchComment I missed it!]]''

* ILied: Garnet claims that the Gems will leave Beach City when Ronaldo asks them to to get him to stop bothering them. After Ronaldo comes back and asks them to stay, she openly admits to Steven that she was never planning to leave.
* InUniverseCamera: Ronaldo's documentary is viewed by a camera.

* OffscreenCrash: Ronaldo fails to capture the moment of impact when the hand-ship crashes.

* BreatherEpisode: This episode is more comical than episode immediately preceding it, "Sworn to The Sword", and the most lighthearted and comedic in tone of all the Stevenbomb 2.0 episodes.

** Furthermore, the viewers are perfectly aware that without the Crystal Gems, the Earth would have no defense from the rest of their species.

* UnreliableNarrator:
** Anything Ronaldo says should be taken with a grain of salt if we don't know it to be true already, especially when he made it seem like he was a master alien diplomat.
** Peedee deliberately left out his tears at being forced to leave the shop in "The Return". Fortunately for us, Ronaldo recorded it.
** Jenny doesn't lie necessarily, but she does play off Garnet almost hitting her back in "Joy Ride" as more malevolent than it actually was: she got between Garnet and Peridot's escape pod while Steven was in it to protect him but makes it out that Garnet was lashing out for no reason.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Ronaldo brings up the valid issue that the Gems are constantly attracting danger to the city and strives to do so something about it while the citizens of Beach City are too self concerned to give any thought to the problem but present the defense that the kinds of threats the Gems deal with are too much for ordinary humans to handle.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Ronaldo.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Ronaldo brings up valid concerns about the Gems presence in Beach City. Various threats have been drawn there because of the Gems, who basically say "we were here first so deal with it" and are very apathetic to the trouble they cause to the humans that live near them. Ronaldo's father agrees with his son that bad things have happened because of the Gems but points out that normal humans can't really do anything about the threats.

* InUniverseCamera: Ronaldo's document is viewed by a camera.

** Jenny doesn't lie necessarily but she does play off Garnet almost hitting her back in "Joy Ride" as more malevolent than it actually was (She got between Garnet and Peridot's escape pod while Steven was in it to protect him but makes it out that Garnet was lashing out for no reason.))

* BaitAndSwitch: When Ronaldo tries to interview Onion, it looks like we're finally going to see him talk, only for him to swat the microphone away and run off.

* {{Troll}}: Onion, who looks like he's gonna let Ronaldo interview him, only to knock the microphone to the ground and run away.

* POVCam: Ronaldo's document is viewed by a camera.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Ronaldo mentions how the space hand "exploded into an explosion".

* ApatheticCitizens: Even when Ronaldo tells the citizens outright that the Crystal Gems are responsible for all the weirdness, they just don't care. Fryman is more concerned with running his business.

* BreatherEpisode: This episode is more comical than episode immediately preceding it, "Sworn to The Sword".
** It's also, noticeably, the most lighthearted and comedic in tone of all the Stevenbomb 2.0 episodes.
