#voltron legendary defenders
Spoilers: So over the last several seasons (wow, we’re already on the 6th season, that’s crazy) I started to notice that there was a sudden change in how Keith treated Shiro after the first couple seasons. Then this season it hit me. Keith and Shiro have always been close. The reason Keith was so surprised to find Shiro in episode one was because Shiro was the one person on the planet that he really trusted, and that person has previously vanished from his life, thought dead. We also know that Keith quit the pilot program, but we never questioned why. Perhaps the reason was because Keith was grieving Shiro’s loss or maybe Keith just slowly lost the motivation to continue without Shiro there.
We glazed over that because Lance comically also wanted to bathe in the glory of saving someone everyone recognized as a hero, but the bottom line is, Keith had a deep friendship with Shiro prior to the series even starting. Then a couple seasons in Keith went through the Blades trial with Shiro was watching, and there was a hint that came up that we the audience didn’t totally understand. Even after Keith pledging to get Shiro back to safety in a harrowing moment at the beginning of the season, there was a moment when their bond expanded. When Keith was going through the deepest torture of the trials, the person he most wanted to see was Shiro–the person he trusted, the only person at that point that he loved. And as the series progressed, that relationship expanded even more. Either as relationship between brothers or a love deeper, we the audience will never really know, but the fact remains, we got to witness something truly beautiful.
