Water Walking Removal (Steven Universe)

375

AFAIK only these following characters have water walking on their profiles
earl, Lapis, Opal and Lion


As shown above Lion can walk on water

However the videos used to justify pearl, lapis, and opal being able to walk on water don’t actually prove that they have the ability.

Lapis - Iirc, The scene used to justify lapis having water walking is from the episode ocean gem, specifically the scene where lapis and Steven talk at the top of the tower of water lapis made to try to get back to homeworld.



However, the reason Lapis and Steven can walk on water in this scene isn’t because they have water walking capabilities but because the water they are standing on has solid like attributes.

This is shown by steven’s shock at 3:11 when he touches it after she lets him out of the bubble she used to bring him to the top.

Opal - The proof used to give opal water walking is from the episode giant woman, specifically this scene at 0:43 to 1:00



In this scene Opal is seen standing and doing back flips on a platform that has water on it, however because the birds that attacked opal were only stuck a few inches into the ground after she dodged their attacks the water must be extremely shallow and not have much depth, Which means that the reason she can stand on water in this scene is because the water is barely covering the earth and she actually standing on solid ground.

Pearl - Pearl has water walking on her profile because of the scenes in which she walks on the water in her room, The following scene will show that this is more so a property of the room and not pearls own powers.



As shown in the scene above, the water spouts in pearls room have solid like properties similar to the water tower lapis made that’s shown above.

Unless there are other scenes that show these characters walking on normal and non shallow water I think that everyone besides lion should all have water walking removed from their profiles.
 
I agree on Opai. What supports the water being solid for the other examples?
For Lapis-
Steven’s shock when he lands on the water in the scene from ocean gem shown above and most if not all of lapis’s water constructs being solid like her wings and bubble she used to carry Steven to the top.

For Pearl-
The arms that go across the top of the water, also in together breakfast Steven was sliding on the water like a slide
 
"For Lapis-

The water that Lapis was using was from the earth's natural ocean so unless your implying that Earth's ocean is solid...

Also Steven has swam through the pools an water columns in Pearl's room before

All of the water lapis uses is from some source, she controls it telekinetically and can solidify it as shown here

Here

and also Here


The water columns have extremely weird magical properties, Steven only being able to swim through some while also being to stand on others even though he doesn’t have water walking capabilities just proves the point that it is the water in her room that lets pearl stand on it and it isn’t a ability she would have access to anywhere else

Lapis should still have water-walking.

"This could be accomplished by defying surface tension, through sheer speed, by releasing energy that keeps the water under their feet stable or by manipulating the water itself to make a solid surface."

Being able to solidify the water by her own power means she still qualifies.

Oh okay, though I still believe that pearl and opal should have water walking removed from their pages.
