Lapis is a really powerful gem, mk? regardless if you side with her or not (i know the fandom is a bit torn about her) she’s freakishly powerful she created water clones to fight the Crystal Gems, can speak through them, and can control multiple at any one time
she took the whole friggin ocean to get into Space, making a tower from the water, consistently rising up
ALL WHILE Chilling at the top of the tower, which is literally over 60 miles tall AT LEAST and Rising
NOT ONLY THAT, but she did ALL of this AT THE SAME TIME With A Cracked Gemstone
not even at full power, and fully capable of all this without even looking tired
without a cracked gem? she can fly at incredible speeds, making it back to Homeworld pretty darn fast without a ship’s capabilities flew out past the Milky Way, carrying a Barn full of stuff, in a water bubble, THEN turned back and plopped it on the moon to chill a while
but… vs a Diamond? well she’s still pretty capable at least… with someone like Blue Diamond
who can incapacitate Gems without much of a problem by sheer grief alone
completely unimpressed in the face of a Diamond and that incapacitating grief?
nah
her powers of Depression are unmatched
single handedly, chained Blue and cancelled that power
granted, it is easily broken, Blue still has to put forth the effort (even if it is a little) to use her own power to break it Blue is strong as hell too, taking a straight hit from a physical barn, (also thrown by Lapis) several hits from the Crystal Gems, (including Lion’s roar which we don’t know too much about) and having her own giant ship crash down on top of her
what happens?
upset, but pretty well unfazed
and that brings us to Yellow Diamond.
and what does Yellow Diamond have?
electricity. which brings us to why Lapis Lazuli poofed so easily
because, although I’d love to say that Lapis shouldn’t have poofed that fast because she’s INCREDIBLY powerful for the reasons listed above… shes still a Water type gem that got hit with an Electric type attack
This is like a lvl 100 Water Starter and built Pokemon, going up against a lvl 85 Electric Legendary
