"Steven Universe" season 4 has reportedly seen a sudden reshuffling with its episodes, and Cartoon Network has yet to announce why the episodes have been rearranged. Episode 7 was initially going to be the episode titled "Tiger Philanthropist," but this has since changed, and it will now be the one called "Onion Gang."
The synopsis states that Steven will discover that Onion has a secret group of friends, but it is uncertain who these friends are and where they may have come from. According to The Bitbag, it is possible that they could be gem mutants, the monsters first teased during the season 2 episode, "Nightmare Hospital."
According to the report, Onion may have been keeping them in his basement all this time. This will be quite a contradictory to his character, given that Onion has always been depicted as a quiet and somewhat shy type of character in the series. Because of this, it has always been suspected that Onion has no friends other than Steven.
The character, as stated by Ecumenical News, has also been depicted as a person who is only comfortable speaking to his parents and has an uncomfortable relationship with Steven he revealed that he had special feelings for Steven. All of this may be addressed once again when Steven discovers that Onion has other friends.
However, this reshuffling also means no official release date for the episodes "Tiger Philanthropist" and "Gem Harvest" have been confirmed. While the former was initially set to be the seventh episode, the latter was initially going to be episode 6, However, the reshuffling has made "Last One Out of Beach City" as episode 6.
As it stands, "Onion Gang" will be released this Sept. 15. Cartoon Network has not announced when the next batch of episodes will air, and if the next batch would include the aforementioned "Gem Harvest" and "Tiger Philanthropist" episodes.
