Okay so this is basically a repeat of what I said over on the Death Battle discussion thread.
Basically, rewatching the DB and how they used the high end Diamond Blast calc for Steven, it got me thinking as to why we don’t use that as as well.
The argument that exists for the Blast coming from Homeworld, thus making the amount of power needed larger, is Blue Diamond’s claim that White Diamond hadn’t left Homeworld in “Eons”. While Eons is not a very specific amount of time it usually means a really, really long time. This would imply that the Diamond Blast would’ve had to have come from Homeworld if White never leaves the place, since all 3 Diamonds were together to do it.
The counter argument that exists to this is that in the show, we get a few different angles of the Blast through flashbacks, and the farthest back we can actually see the Blast coming from is from beyond the Moon, so some people say the Diamond’s simply traveled to an unspecified distance behind the moon to fire the blast. Obviously this line of thinking contradicts Blue Diamond’s claim, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong. Therefore, I want to offer an alternative to adding the higher end Diamond Blast to the profiles without having to straight up change the ratings to make them way stronger than they are now.
The Higher end Diamond Blast should be calced and added to the relevant profiles that scale, with a “possibly” rating. This is because Blue Diamond’s claim must hold some weight to it, as a Diamond herself she would most likely know if White had left Homeworld for any reason. But obviously the counter argument still exists, but it is still entirely possible that Blue Diamond is right and the blast came from Homeworld, so it should have a Possibly rating for the profiles to reflect that. I also think it should be calced on here rather than using existing calculations that others off site have made, as it seems to fluctuate to anywhere from Small Planet level to Solar System level from what I’ve seen, so a more concrete calc on here should be made.
Also the Diamond’s Age should be updated to 20,000 years old as the Art Book confirms that long ago is when they first emerged.
