Thankfully, Shiro was brought back into the physical world at the end of season six as Allura transferred his consciousness back into the clone’s body.Īside from the confusion of clone Shiro (who fans referred to as “Kuron” while crafting theories) and real Shiro, questions still remained: was the clone actively conspiring against Voltron for four seasons? Why did the Black Lion accept it as its pilot, however temporarily?ĭos Santos and Montgomery cleared up this confusion. His spirit has been trapped in the Black Lion’s consciousness since. Even more shocking, however, was the fact that the real Shiro - our lovable, chivalrous, space dad and the Black Paladin of Voltron - physically died during the battle with Zarkon.
Rather, he’s a clone that was allowed to escape with the purpose of infiltrating Team Voltron and eventually falling under total control of Haggar, the witch previously under the command of the now-deceased Emperor Zarkon.
The Shiro that’s been around since season three isn’t the real Shiro. Season six answered the questions and confirmed a major fan theory that has been floating around since Shiro’s return. Shiro and Lance in Voltron’s spiritual realm. Since his return, he’s been acting strangely, most noticeably when he called out to Lance within Voltron’s spiritual realm (similar to what we see of the Black Lion’s consciousness) and then showed no memory of it after when Lance questioned him.
After disappearing from the Black Lion during a fight with Zarkon at the conclusion of the second season, Shiro returns after being presumably held captive by the Galra following the fight. One subplot, seasons in the making, finally came to a head in season six. The seven-episode season that introduced new plot lines and neatly tied up others, but even dedicated fans were a little mystified by one major reveal - even if speculation had pinned it down months in advance. Recently, Voltron: Legendary Defender executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery sat down with io9 to unpack some of the major revelations from the show’s sixth season and discuss where the paladins of Voltron are headed now.
