i have no doubts that lance will soon be the black paladin. he's lead voltron more than shiro did during season five and progressed a lot.
shiro is definitely a clone, or he's being brainwashed. shiro would ever act behind allura's back like he did to get lotor on the throne. my theory is that lotor, in the last season, got into his brain somehow and is controlling him in some way. he was never surprised by his words or actions and shiro agreed with everything lotor said the entirety of season 5. the major hint was when he called out to lance — i think shiro's trapped inside himself, and he was able to speak freely for the few seconds in the dimension the paladins were in. it makes sense; that's why everything went black for fake shiro. he was blocked out.
i really do think that him calling out to lance was foreshadowing lance's rise to leading voltron. why wouldn't he call out to allura, who everyone thinks will lead? why lance?
thoughts??
sorry it's so long lol
- hmm ...
yeah. i agree there.
one of my friends guessed that the shiro in the lion world was the real shiro and clone shiro was never there - just real shiro, and since keith isn’t there he’s trying to reach out to lance.
i agree with his theory, as it seems pretty likely - or maybe we have been fooled this whole and fake shiro is real shiro and we are all coming up with weird theories for no reason :,)
but we still have lots left to see and uncover, as the whole voltron series is just over halfway through now.
but on the shiro thing ... didn’t a season or two ago, when the got shiro back .. they referred to him but two names in galran capacity- and the long hair doesn’t really make sense? like how could you get from original shiro to space jesus to a bird on your head in just a day or two? but the galra is wild, we have no idea what could or will or might happen there, really - just a big mess of voltron theories and long paragraphs from fans of the show
