What we saw so far:
>Phos gets chosen to make an encyclopedia. He meets Cinnabar, who wants to fucking die, and decides to find a job for him. Phos befriends an Admirabilis, Ventricosus. Admirabilis are used as slaves by the Moon People. Ventricosus tells Phos about the Humans and their myth of creation. She tries to sell Phos to the Moon People and he loses their legs, but they sort things out and she gives him agate legs.
>Phos new legs makes him super fast. Adamant Sensei sends him with the Amethyst twins to see if he learns how to fight. Phos gets too scared to even call for help during battle. Due to feeling bad about it, Phos cannot hibernate like the other gems during winter. He is paired up with Antarciticte to defend the sleeping gems from attackers, and loses his arms to the talking ice floes. When he gets an alloy replacement, Moon People attack and take away Antarc.
>Phos gets temporarily partnered up with Bortz since he is now strong. A double sunspot anomaly appears, and from there a giant Moon People who attacks the gems, but they manage to defeat him. Phos realizes the giant was related to Sensei in some way and decides to learn about it by directly trying to talk with the Moon People.
>Phos can only get breathing sounds out of the Moon People. He pairs up with Ghost Quartz, a multilayered gem and keeps trying to investigate Sensei in secret.
>Because of his fault, Ghost gets taken to the Moon and only his inner gem, Cairngorm remains. They sort things out. Another double sunspot anomaly appears, this time Pieces that they manage to defeat. Sensei is shown to know the pieces too. Just before Winter comes again, Phos loses his head.

>>160869853
Thats an interesting question, given what we know about Phos. The answer would be that most likely Phos head is fine dust by now. But if it was alive we dont know, it would probably be like that, yes.

>>160869853
I would think that Phos' head would need its own body to function, just like with Lapis'.

The moon people having a Hindu/Buddhist-mythology-based appearance indicative of deeper symbolism, or just because it is cool-looking, or just to add atmosphere?

Deeper symbolism.

They look like Bodhitsavas, who search for Nirvana/inexistence. We are gonna learn later that nirvana is pretty much exactly what they want. There is also a story about the bodhitsavas looking for gems/treasures in paradise or something like that, seems like the author based the start of the story on that.

>>160871148
The story has quite a few buddhist elements other than the design of the moon people. I wouldn't say it's about deeper symbolism, it's just the theme that shapes the story.

>>160871224
So, is Sensei Satan then, as he is the primary reason why the gem people are still alive?

>>160871279
Did the author forgot that the gems need a special coating to go underwater or else their powder washes off?

Honestly, i think Sensei would be more like the Buddha himself. Or an AntiBuddha better said. But i dont know if i could call that Satan, they are different religions.

Something from the Moon. First one to come from a Triple Sunspot, so thats new.

But if you want a real answer a faulty copy of the human woman that created Adamant, thrown in there to unsettle him. It probably works exactly like the vessels main figures the gems have to disperse, limited movement and nothing else.
