After saving the universe, Steven is still at it, tying up every loose end. As he runs out of other people's problems to solve, he'll finally have to face his own.
This tv show contains 37 potentially triggering events.
While no animals have ever died onscreen in Steven Universe, it's worth mentioning that a dog-like character present in the original show is not present in Future, and the creators have stated it passed away between seasons. However, this has not been adressed or even acknowledged in the show so far.
While not onscreen, and the circumstances are left vague, the episode Volleyball prominently features a character who was permanently wounded in the past by someone they loved. Their rationalization of the event is similar to situations of domestic abuse, and some viewers may find it triggering.
This series addresses abuse and psychological trauma that happened in the original series. The guardians of this character loved them, and did what they though was best for the character while unintentionally hurting them and exposing them to situations a child has no business being involved in, such as war or family issues. While the child has already grown up by the time of this series, the frequent flashbacks and mental breakdowns could be triggering.
It can be argued in "Homeworld Bound" that Blue Diamond's 'happy clouds' are synonymous with drug abuse as a coping mechanism. Steven does not enjoy it, saying he doesn't want to just 'feel better', but actually BE better.
Gems can shapeshift & corruption can involuntarily turn gems into alien beasties. As another said, there's body-horror type scenes where a character is in pain and looks (cartoonishly) disfigured.
In "Growing Pains", an x-ray of a character's skull displays many cracks (that healed instantly). In "Homeworld Bound", a character smashes their head against a structure, but they suffer no serious harm.
It is said in an episode that a character has experienced multiple broken bones and fractures (including the skull), but they were all healed right away, as though they never occurred. Lines/healed fractures can still be seen in an x-ray, however.
At one ppint towards the end of A Very Special Episode, we are initially led to believe that some characters jump off a cliff to their death. [Spoiler warning] they do not actually die.
There’s one in “In Dreams”. When Steven confronts Peridot in his dream, she turns around and her eyes are a television screen. It’s intentionally startling.
Yes. Steven Universe is referred to as his mother's name, who is also him in a weird way. He reacts to it as of he's being dead named (as he has throughout the series)
In "Growing Pains," Steven visits a doctor's office. He isn't sick or injured and only basic tests like an x-ray, heart monitor, blood pressure cuff etc. are seen.
A character who is heavily implied to suffer from PTSD (and eventual psychosis) takes their anger out on other characters, attempts to kill someone and actually kills another.
The end of 18 and all of episode 19 is the title character having a meltdown that's been a very long time coming and turning into a Kaiju creature because his magical powers run in his emotions.
Yes, at the end of "A Very Special Episode," a character reveals that the whole episode has been a PSA and spends the last few minutes addressing the audience directly.
No, as religion isn't a subject in the series, but the Diamonds are very frequently read as a N*zi allegory by viewers. They no longer occupy this role AFAIK, though, as they were given a redemption arc in the previous show (although the fact that they were quickly redeemed is itself triggering for me since N*zism is unforgivable).
Very much a no, but the main character (who is 16) attempts to propose to his girlfriend in the episode “Together Forever” and is rejected. The effects can be seen in the next episode, “Growing Pains”.
In "Mr. Universe," a character loses control of the car and slams on the breaks - the scene cuts to black, and the next scene shows the car flipped over. No one is hurt.
There's no straight up blood/gore but there is quite a lot of body-horror type scenes where the character is in pain and looks (cartoonishly) disfigured
