Fans have been expecting Jasper’s uncorruption and eventual redemption for a long time, to the point where Kindergarten Kid, Gem Harvest, Steven’s Dream, Adventures in Light Distortion, The New Crystal Gems, Tiger Philanthropist, and even Back to the Kindergarten were all theorized at one point to be Jasper episodes.

But let’s face it. Jasper isn’t coming back for a long time. Which gave me the idea for this theory.

The stance the show is taking on corruption is that they absolutely need White Diamond to help, or else the fully-uncorrupted gems will revert without direct contact. So, for now, we can disregard all our old “Steven Will Go Into Corrupted Gems’ Minds With His Dream Powers” theories because at the moment it doesn’t seem like the show’s going in that direction.

Furthermore, it has been theorized many times that almost every gem on the series has a human analogue within the cast (the CGs = the Cool Kids being the best example, along with the more recent Lars = Rose). Going off on this, Marty has been seen by several fans as White Diamond’s analogue, both being people very much devoid of empathy for others and only looking out for themselves. And, well, remember the only good thing Marty ever did, giving Greg his $10,000,000? He only did so because he was “legally obligated” to. Which leads me to think that the only way White Diamond would ever help cure corruption (something she has no real interest in doing, considering she didn’t even let Steven speak and may have even caused it herself), is if she’s been more or less defeated and she has no other choice. If, say, the Diamonds as a whole have been removed from power and the Crystal Gems are now in control. Only then would she actually cooperate, I think.

Wouldn’t that be the most devastating world for Jasper to wake back up into? Last she knew, the Diamonds were on top, Pink Diamond was shattered by Rose Quartz, and the CGs were nothing but a ragtag bunch of rebels on some worthless shell of a planet. She lived to fight, but when she’s finally uncorrupted, there’s no one left for her *to* fight. Now, her leaders are either defeated or in exile, the person she was fighting was actually the person she was avenging all along, and the group she detested is now in control.

Would Jasper lash out against everyone, becoming basically a Soldier Without A Country? Would she eventually find a place in the new, radically different universe she found herself in, or would she try to reinstate the Diamonds’ power? Who knows, really.

If this is true, then when we could we expect this to happen? Well, going off of the (so far accurate) 4chan leak, the current plan in nine seasons, and we’re almost at season six (with the movie probably coming out between six and seven). So, I’d estimate the fall of the Diamonds would come in either season 7 or season 8, with the rest of the series being devoted to the fallout and consequences of overthrowing such an entrenched system, and eventually returning to some sort of normalcy by the end.
