Operation Kuron

Shiro is the main talk of discussion among the Voltron fandom and this episode has spawned several theories: 1) Season 3 Shiro is a clone 2) Season 1 + 2 Shiro is the clone and Season 3 Shiro is the original Shiro 3) There is no clone and Shiro is a sleeper agent 4) One of these Shiros are from an alternate reality and 5) Both Shiros are clones and the original Shiro is dead. I believe this whole Shiro debacle will be resolved when the other half of Season 3 drops on Netflix. But I guess you’re wondering which theory I believe in. Although there are lots of evidence for either Shiros being a clone like Shiro’s head and facial hair and the fact that Kuron literally means clone in Japanese, I do believe that Shiro is just a sleeper agent and this is all part of Haggar’s plan. I mean she did say that Shiro could have been their greatest weapon and he was the Champion in the Galra fighting pits. I believe that once Shiro was recaptured, Haggar probably ordered Galra scientists to implant something that will turn Shiro into Voltron‘s version of the winter soldier. And then Shiro will almost kill one of the members of Team Voltron and then after that….I will probably have to refer to the fanfiction for the resolution. I honestly don’t know how they would cure Shiro. Rip his arm off?

Haggar and Lotor

So there seems to be some kind of power struggle between the two. Well not entirely. Haggar wants Lotor to focus on the Galra Empire and Lotor just wants to do his own thing and cruise around in his ship surrounded by his badass harem squad. But what really interested me was Lotor’s emphasis on how he wasn’t his father, Zarkon. I mean he was exiled, so maybe in October we will find out what got him exiled in the first place and why he doesn’t want to be like his father.
