He just doesnt like them very much. Thats why at twelve, Kolivan asked Keith to try activating Krolias blade. The BOM episode back in season 2 has been setting up for these moments of Keith constantly having to choose between the Blade and Voltron. [11] The comic book version of Keith depicts him as 26 and a very asocial character in the beginning. Other humans took her mate into one of those trucks and all the scenes in which little Keith would grow up with his father disappeared. Plot device. Keith becomes the leader of the Voltron Force after escaping Planet Doom. its finished!! Combining this with his selflessness, if he had to choose between himself and his team he would choose his team. it would prove for a very wholesome moment. Or they have a medical emergency?Lance eyes him. Its in May, right?. No one understands the importance of a good meal like Hunk, recognizing how food can remind people of home and that a full stomach can make them more open to new ideas.

But at the same time? He had tried to stay with his teammates as they cheered and celebrated their victory. The paladins could only hear Keith over the intercom, imagine what would have happened if Lotor arrived later just after Keith sacrifices himself. It couldnt be helped. However, the ensuing conflict turns out to be far more complicated than anyone could have guessed. The series is taking the story in some interesting directions, so while we can make some pretty solid educated guesses about what's to come, the broader scope of the space-based action series really opens up the playing field. He was sent to recover information, steal cargo, and tail certain Galra commanders. forgetting that he cannot just simply attack at Balmera or refusing to back down from the Zarkon fight). 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. Upon the death of the emperor, an explosion of pure quintessence sends Shiro and their young son into an alternate reality where he faces himself, quite literally, and a version of Keith who - to his elation - is still alive.As time passes and solutions to the paladins' new arrival allude them, Shiro must understand this is not the same Keith he built a family with, no matter how similar they might be, no matter how much he wishes for it to be true. Then Zarkon brings Honerva to Lotor, explaining to the young boy that his mother has returned. Its beyond himself and his own feelings.

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. Kolivan knew Keith was emotional, more from his Terran side than his Galran one. But he didnt expect Keith to drop everything he was doing just to sit down and cry after hearing the news. Only both sides are going to get a lot more than they bargain for. By the end of Season 6, Allura used her newfound Altean alchemy skills--which include transferring quintessence and, apparently, other types of energy--to restore Shiro's spirit by transferring it into the body of his injured but recovered clone. Keith was happy for them, he really was. In the end it seems like they end up becoming one and the same. Might I suggest a procreation clinic?

Allura did it on the Balmera. Reminding himself time and time again that he was doing the trials, that the faces of his uncles and father were just holograms. She braced herself. All to reach Ulaz. In what I believe to be the best season of DreamWorks' Netflix seriesVoltron Legendary Defender so far, the Paladins and their allies made some costly sacrifices in order to not only defend the known universe from threats, but even unknown realities that exist out there in the cosmos. Lance considered himself too greedy for Keiths attention to consider going on double-dates. They need to break his bond, but the process ends up being heart wrenching for Keith. Voltron season 8 sees the Paladins and their coalition of allies depart Earth to bring the battle straight to Honerva (formerly, the Witch Haggar) and the rest of the Galra Empire. He has the ability to focus on the bigger picture (i.e. It seems like so far, weve seen him trying to reconcile the BOM/Voltron conflict and trying to balance both in his life. I dont want to meet whatever guy he thinks is perfect for me and I dont want to think about the fact that I needed him to set me up with someone, you know? Allura shares a tearful goodbye with each Paladin - especially Lance, professing her love for him and bestowing on him his own Altean markings - before she harnesses the Quintessence and restarts all of existence. Kolivan saw Keith grow stronger, dexterous with his mothers blade. Keith's hands are restrained behind his back, and Shiro discovers that his own hands are also bound. It's the perfect avenue for Keith to help those affected by the war, delivering aide right to those who need it most. Hes saving the rest of the world and his friends, which is exactly how hes always been. Voltron's season 8 finale does, though, kind of hint at Allura continuing to exist in some form. Keith was so much softer. Keiths first steps with a leashafter the scare of seeing him run toward Antoks tail. Keith was willing to sacrifice himself so we could see how he really is putting the mission before anything (blade training) and for Lotor to make his proposal. THIS is the exact person who Keith has devoted his life to. My point: those things are plot devices. They had no blood connection as many of the blades, and yet, Keith mourned for vargas. Hes a huge risk taker, willing to push his limit/luck to achieve the best possible outcome. The soft violet glow of his mothers blade bathed the inside of the pod, never leaving the kit in darkness. He went into a place filled with mind-swished mermaids to save everyone. This transforms Honerva back in to her true, Altean self, healing the corruption caused by the Quintessence. There's no doubt that Allura's death hits Lance the hardest, but despite his grief, it's Lance more than anyone who champions Allura's belief that there is good inside everyone. There's even a short post-credits scene that depicts a starry nebula in the shape of Allura with the Lions flying straight for it, hinting at Allura now being a part of some larger, cosmic force. 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. MAJOR SPOILERS ahead for Voltron: Legendary Defender season 8! Its about saving the world. There were moments here and there that suggested Keith took initiative in plenty of those missions. Keith showed no interest in giving up. 20 guests She could put a front and evade fighters, shoot a few of them. Allura then reminds Honerva of the good in her own life, sharing the happy memories they unearthed when exploring Honerva's consciousness. Every two years open spots in this prestige college were available. Like with quintessence or a healing pod. Keith is an expelled ace pilot cadet from the Galaxy Garrison who functions as a Paladin of Voltron fighting the Galra Empire, piloting, at first, the Red Lion, but later transitioning to the Black Lion after Shiro's disappearance. Keith is a protagonist from the Netflix TV series, Voltron: Legendary Defender who serves as the Red Paladin piloting the Red Lion of Voltron. The final season saw him take his biggest leap when he professes his love to Allura, allowing himself to be open and vulnerable around her. In the wake of Allura's sacrifice, the Voltron season 8 finale jumps ahead for a one year later epilogue. After all, the best course of action after a fallen member was to do their best to accomplish their goal. He'd go on to pass the trials and it'd be revealed he was the son of Krolia, a female agent who ended up on Earth as part of her duty, where she got pregnant. And the universe as they know it will be forever changed. A saving people person. What did the writers do? He realizes the BOM is a little different from Voltron in that sense. When Allura says goodbye to Pidge, she tells her to remain "curious and fearless," which as we see in the year since their battle with Honerva, is exactly what Pidge does. That was an attitude the blades could not fully comprehend. Keith couldnt place what it was, and yet he felt it igniting his limbs. However, sometimes his inferior Fe comes out as hotheadedness (like when he blows up at Pidge). And yet, the decision to kill Allura and only Allura is for some a controversial one. Keith has already bonded to someone. Keith returned to his chambers. Guys his age dont know how to treat him, so Keith finds Shiro in a bar. He was slated to take over his father's role after Zarkon's obsession with the Black Lion, coupled with aid from the Galra rebel faction called the Blade of Marmora and their allies, led to the emperor's defeat at the hands of the Voltron team. But the creation of Chip here also hints at how Pidge will continue protecting Earth and the rest of the universe. Lance could actually die! In the end he chose Voltron, proclaiming I know who I am. THAT is when the Blade activates for him. Work Search: Keith in heat is mewling and desperate and docile, malleable under Shiros hands like freshly dampened clay. Turns out that our charismatic half-Altean, half-Galra character had long been recruiting Altean refugees from his father's galactic war in order to harvest their bodies for quintessence used for his research. What did you think of Season 6 and what do you want to see in Season 7? He couldnt spar with anyone there, but he would follow basic forms with his face all scrunched up to practice his menacing faade. 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.

Voltron: Legendary Defender season 8's ending is a shocking conclusion for for the hit Netflix animated series and we're breaking it down. By far the most sensitive of the Paladins, it absolutely suits Hunk to use his love of cooking to connect and strengthen the bonds between the many different races and cultures of the Galactic Coalition. #also its great to know the BOM and Voltron conflict was foreshadowed as early as S2, #I think the first part of S4 was a little rushed regardless, #but I always knew Keith's choice to join BOM wasn't out of nowhere, #and Keith is always for the greater good and a risk taker, #but I agree that Keith isn't in the best place mentally. [7] The character receives a lot of character growth as the seasons progress.[8][9][10]. So please check tags and read at your discretion. He's not, he just didn't see any other way to do bring down the shield and is the type to put himself on the line before others. Being his inferior function, Keith isnt the best at comforting people or relating to them, but it doesnt mean he doesnt desire it. Leading up until that moment, theyve shown him being conflicted between saving everyone he can and prioritizing the mission above individual lives.

To mourn. 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. 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. Normally, he didn't have to think about much of anything; Keith was the brawn while Lance played the brain. It seems like so far, weve seen him trying to reconcile the BOM/Voltron conflict and trying to balance both in his life. Keith was the youngest blade Kolivan had ever worked with. Let's talk about Shiro. Its beyond himself and his own feelings. 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." The first movement was harsh for everyone in the base. She took them straight to the most ominous image. Not even when they kiss. 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. The blades were unsure of how to proceed. 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. Its just I know Lance is going to try and set me up with a date and I really I dont want to deal with it. Worried about losing allies, Keith isnt as firm about turning the alien down as he would normally be. Hunk and Lance were his best friends and they deserved the world, but to Keith their wedding was a reminder of his own sad love life or lack thereof. It would be forced, weird and overall bad writing. In addition to that, Keith is motivated by higher meanings and weighty causes. Placing her knife wrapped up to avoid hurting the squirming kit, and a simple message on a memory card: One last look and a gentle touch on that black mop of hair were all she did before she sent the pod deep into space and straight to the only place, she knew her kit would be safe. Keith attempting a Heroic Sacrifice by flying his ship towards Haggar's shield, closing his eyes and grimacing as he braces himself for impact despite Matt's protests for him not to do it. Not too mention, repairing some of the damage done by the Galra is sure to soothe Keith's inner turmoil over being part-Galra himself - something Allura also helped Keith to accept. A saving people person. It was barren of the holographic capabilities to display ones deepest fears and hopes. When the Paladins return to their universe, they discover that Allura also created a New Altea. Voltron wasn't going to spend an episode on the team going "oh no,Keith, don't do these things" specially not right now that there are a hundred things happening and Keith is not even working with team voltron. Lets see how much you can take, old timer.. At the start of Voltron: Legendary Defender, Keith was a dropout from the Galaxy Garrison, despite being considered the most talented pilot of his generation. So just like how the Blade activated for him when he accepted himself as a paladin of Voltron, he found himself fitting in with both the Blade and Voltron when he decided to fly towards the sun. Yeah, Lance had that moment in season 1 where he took an explosion for Coran, and that moment in season 5 where he almost died while trying to protect that base. Lance and Allura's relationship was a focal point of season 8, why must Shiro settle for a tacked on, five second blip of a wedding to a character audiences know nothing about? Plot device. Keith was as talented in that area as he was in hand-to-hand combat. Dried tear tracks and hunger consumed his small existence. Shiro is like an adult in his 30s you know. He was even willing to leave so the others would have a better chance of winning. Ultimately, all it provoked was Keiths early enlistment in the organization. Once planet Earth was but a dot in the dark canvas of space, Zarkons forces rained on her. The Atlas-Voltron arrives and again battles with Honerva, now back in her own mech suit. For a show as popular and beloved as Voltron, it's impossible to please everyone, but for the most part, Voltron season 8 builds to an ending that's shocking, emotional, and a fitting conclusion for what has been a truly excellent series. He pursued his spar partner endlessly, catching him a few times before he was shaken off. Later on, he becomes the Paladin of the Black Lion of Voltron until Shiro's return where he training with the Blade of Marmora. None of them were equipped or knowledgeable about kits, let alone kits from another race. (Gryffindor confirmed lol). He stopped Pidge from getting into trouble with Commander Iverson at the Garrison and ended up getting in trouble himself. In this, the blades that couldnt handle Keith when he was a baby, reached to him to impart knowledge during a fight. That, paired with the fact that Keith continued to call Kolivan dad, put extra pressure on Kolivan to act as both: the leader of the blades and Keiths father. Kolivan saw talent and a fatal flaw that could bring their kit down. The amalgam of emotions that caved in his eyes didnt surprise Kolivan. sue me, Whatever It Takes (Until We Mate) - the 'Whatever It Takes (Until It Takes)' Remix, Gentleman on the Streets, Demon in the Sheets. The silence stretched on for a few minutes before Keith finally broke it. But for those meager doboshes, Keith could see his mother. He presents her at court, she's greeted by the smiling faces of King Alfor, his wife, Melonor, and their daughter Allura, and everything is just as Honerva wanted - perfect. Get your heads out of your fanfics. That she knowingly sacrifices herself is noble, bringing to a close the conflict that began between her family and Zarkon's over 10,000 years ago. Keith didnt know why exactly it was just two years instead of annually like any other college and if Keith was being even more honest right now, he didnt exactly know much up to that point either. It was so endearing that both of their families had such colorful histories. His eyes turned into violet slits as his canines showed through his smirk. Invitation, Keith mumbled, to Lance and Hunks wedding., Should be exciting. Its about saving the world. LOL. In the wake of Allura's sacrifice, the Voltron season 8 finale jumps ahead for a one year later epilogue. Sarah is a graduate of THE Ohio State University where she earned her B.A. Shiro is escaping with the Black Paladin's through a worm hole and Keith has to make a dangerous choice.#NetflixFamilySUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/NetflixKidsFam.
