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. 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. He missed how stern and inspiring Allura was, and how comical and caring Coran was. 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. Allura then reminds Honerva of the good in her own life, sharing the happy memories they unearthed when exploring Honerva's consciousness. Honerva's plan is not simply to conquer the universe, but rather to tear apart reality in search of a universe where she can be reunited with versions of Zarkon and Lotor who haven't been corrupted by Quintessence. Honerva is severing one after another, and with each tendril cut, the Paladins are hit with a shockwave as another reality blinks out of existence. And while the finale makes a case for it being Allura who must sacrifice herself, the decision is ultimately a creative one and not the only possible outcome. And seeing as it's the Holt Family who establish the next generation of Legendary Defenders, it's entirely possible that they do so with Chip and something similar to Vehicle Voltron. Season 6, despite its short seven-episode run, packed a lot of interesting sci-fi concepts, emotional character development, and insane action sequences into its storytelling. It's the perfect avenue for Keith to help those affected by the war, delivering aide right to those who need it most. Keith passed messages to fellow blades, called them to meetings, and tried to sneak behind Vrek and Regris or tail them for as long as he could without being caught. Regardless of the hiccups, Keith grew with Kolivan as a father and the blade hanging in his quarters as his mother. Luckily Keith talked him out of it. The thing with Jeremy Shada is that he tends to hint or spoil things about the show. And for the Paladins, they have a long journey to get to Earth if they want to build a new castle (likely using the condensed crystal remnant of the old one in some way), and since they don't have the ability to gate-hop, we're probably in store for a bit of a road-trip story in Season 7. 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. Warning! And when Keith says, If it werent for you, my life wouldve been a lot different,Shiro responds in a way that suggests that yes, because of how intertwined their lives are and how devoted Keith now is to Shiro, he tracked Shiro down until he followed his destiny into space. But withthe Paladins having destroyed the physical gate to the quintessence field, followed by sacrificing the Castle of Lions itself (by detonating its powerful teleduv crystal in order to provide a super-supermassive gravity well to seal up the multiple breaches in different realities thanks to Lotor's reality-hopping), there's a good chance that access to that energy is cut off, at least temporarily, and Lotor along with it. : Spoilers Off applies to Tear Jerker pages right to those who need it most was done for school!
