However, sometimes his inferior Fe comes out as hotheadedness (like when he blows up at Pidge).

And if viewers needed an extra push to see Lotor as the villain he truly is, even after his own generals abandoned him during a particularly overzealous rant, his exposure to unlimited quintessence at the season's end revealed his true nature (like what happened to his father, which was referenced earlier in the season as a reminder) and drove him completely mad.

Honerva's plan is not simply to conquer the universe, but rather to tear apart reality in search of a universe where she can be reunited with versions of Zarkon and Lotor who haven't been corrupted by Quintessence. Not her little Keith. But I dont agree. When he was 24, he met and proposed to Beverly Hagel, who died 7 weeks before their wedding date in a plane accident. He couldnt spar with anyone there, but he would follow basic forms with his face all scrunched up to practice his menacing faade. It's beyond himself and his own feelings. So it isn't that hard to believe something similar could have happened to Allura. He sent Thace and Antok for supplies and appointed Ulaz as the medic for the growing kit. "That- What is that?" Sure, he and his Sincline-version of Voltron (which is so friggin' cool, by the way) may currently be stuck in the quintessence field, but with access to that much raw energy coupled with Lotor's shrewd mind and his Altean-enhanced tech, you'd better believe he'll reappear in future episodes in some fashion or another. Kolivan lets him know exactly what he thinks of that when they get back to their ship. Dried tear tracks and hunger consumed his small existence. Keith was happy for them, he really was.

Ok so I've seen a lot of people complain about how the writer didn't put anything in s6 about how Keith was about to sacrifice himself and all that jazz and feel free to disagree but I'm gonna state my opinion right now: No, I'm not saying that Keith's life isn't important or that sacrificing yourself is okay, but like, it was not important enough to have screen time about.

That'll give us a good chance for the Paladins themselves to get caught up with newcomers like Krolia and Romelle (the name of the princess of the planet Pollux in the original series, along with her brother Bandor), and the newly reunited Shiro. Keith might have been the leader, but Lance . Hes called everywhere, and while he is happy to know that the Galran Veterans Association is fully staffed, and that the kits at the shelter have company, and that the soup kitchen is covered, the lack of service opportunities does nothing to alleviate the tightness in his chest that says he must be doing something. But he thinks hes the weakest link of them. And for the Paladins, they have a long journey to get to Earth if they want to build a new castle (likely using the condensed crystal remnant of the old one in some way), and since they don't have the ability to gate-hop, we're probably in store for a bit of a road-trip story in Season 7. Already, there was the earlier controversy over the decision to kill Adam, Shiro's previous partner, immediately after introducing him, calling to mind the trope, "Bury Your Gays." In the end it seems like they end up becoming one and the same. Hes valuing the mission above his own individual life, understanding that in the BOM, individuals often sacrifice themselves if they cant make it out in order to preserve the mission. Sacrifice was a must for their cause. And for the most part, Shiro's sexuality plays little to no role in season 8, with the focus instead on how Shiro is a natural leader, a steady and calming presence on the bridge of the Atlas, and a true friend to his fellow Paladins. It brought a flick of exasperated pride to Kolivans ears. Which then makes it especially frustrating for Shiro's final moment to be a scene of him marrying some ancillary male character with whom he had zero romantic development of explored chemistry. Let alone have a kit with him. It seems like some people think Keith wouldnt have made this choice if he hadnt felt so disconnected from the team. Much like his mother, the kit didnt stop calling through desperate sobs until a crackling voice came from the pod. A saving people person. Observed him from afar. While on a diplomatic mission with Kolivan, Keith gets hit on by one of the local aliens. Spoilers ahead if you're not caught up with Season 6 of Voltron. Ive been seeing people be concerned that Keith almost sacrificing himself was because he felt like others wouldnt care if he died but honestly? Promising Thace they would see each other again. Given the way he interacts with Shiro, he cares deeply for those that are close to him and respects them a great deal. Kolivan saw talent and a fatal flaw that could bring their kit down. So when it comes to channeling enough Quintessence to reboot of all existence, the only one capable of pulling it off is Allura. The Shiro that the Paladins and viewers have been hanging out with since that battle was actually a clone, one of many aboard a creepy Galra ship that blew up in spectacular fashion during Keith's battle with the Manchurian Shiro. They should stay inside where no one else has to be bothered with them, instead of being spread around and getting in the way of everyone elses business, LANCE. Youre a real joy to be around, Keith.I try.. However, the ensuing conflict turns out to be far more complicated than anyone could have guessed. That he's using this talent of his to help in the diplomatic negotiations for the Coalition makes it all the more impressive, putting Hunk in a position of leadership he rarely saw during the series. When the Paladins return to their universe, they discover that Allura also created a New Altea. Like her father before her, Allura makes the choice to risk her life because she sees no other option - and with the situation as dire as it becomes, her solution is arguably the only one that makes any sense. Ulaz left, but not before he examined Keith prior to leaving. he asked shakily. Later in the series, Keith joins the Blade of Mamora to better understand his Galran half and so Shiro can return as the Black Paladin and leader of Voltron. As soon as Krolia was out of the planet, she allowed herself to breathe. However, the epilogue is certainly consistent with Hunk's character, crafting for him a meaningful and fitting way to carry on Allura's core belief that people are stronger when they work together. Voltron has shown previously that when a Paladin is near death, their consciousness can be saved within their Lion, as Shiro's was within the Black Lion. A year later, they're holding elections on Daibazaal (seemingly restored alongside Altea) and Keith's mother, Krolia and his mentor, Kolivan are elected as the Galra's first representatives to the Galactic Coalition. (Tags to be added as drabbles are added). But withthe Paladins having destroyed the physical gate to the quintessence field, followed by sacrificing the Castle of Lions itself (by detonating its powerful teleduv crystal in order to provide a super-supermassive gravity well to seal up the multiple breaches in different realities thanks to Lotor's reality-hopping), there's a good chance that access to that energy is cut off, at least temporarily, and Lotor along with it. They had been receiving intel about the whereabouts of the Red Lion for two deca-phoebes. He focuses on his own business and needs very little outward validation or comfort from others. That was Keiths playtime, and each time the blades would allow Keith to follow them longer than the time before, the kit would explode in a fit of giggles. In other words, don't be surprised if the drama takes the wheel in Season 7 and the action takes a bit of a relative back seat. Despite Voltron: Legendary Defender having a lighthearted and humorous tone, there are some moments where it hits very close to the heart. Allura is a hero in every sense of the word, and for Voltron: Legendary Defender to end with this incredible woman becoming the defender of every universe in existence is absolutely worth celebrating. Keith returned to his chambers. Please comment if you liked it!! Lance was the most worried about Shiro and Keith while they were at the Blade of Marmora. Luckily Keith talked him out of it.
