Voltron

How many mecha references can we pack into this show? We're already confirmed for Gendo.

Better question: when's the Megas reference?

Gendo.

A bunch of Macross characters.

"I'm so fucked up" maybe.

I want some weird Japanese transformers references thrown in there.

Are they allowed to crossreference Western made shows like that? Technically this had Robotech and Megas had Voltron but those were redubs of preexisting Japanese properties.

Voltron transformation is basically GaoGaiGar's.

>maybe
There's no "maybe" about this.

I'm guessing Shiro's Bayard Black Lion power will probably have some hand-themed abilities like Shining Finger or Mazinger Punch.

So, I just finished the show. Did they reveal earlier in the show that Zarkon was originally the Black Paladin and I just missed it?

There were some lines that work as foreshadowing upon rewatch but it's extremely ambiguous until its confirmation in the last episode.

It's gotta be a power glove for his left hand. We need hell and heaven up in this bitch.

His fingers aren't curled up enough.

As long as it's not boring-ass Build Knuckle I'm down.

No, that was the big twist of the season finale. It was just weird that no one commented on it. I expected Shiro to go full "TELL ME ABOUT ZARKON, WHY DOES HE WEAR THE BAYARD?" on Allura's ass but nope.

She said "the Black Bayard was lost with the Black Paladin" but it's possible she just didn't know much more beyond that.

>character looking at their own hand in first person, a super common scene in anime
>DURR MUST BE EBA
Fuck you. Autistic faggots like you are why I'm not able to talk about Evangelion on the internet without eveyone instantly calling me an autistic faggot.

See this guy knows what he's talking about.

Bitch knew. As soon as Hunk saved her, she asked about the Black Lion. I guess Zarkon has some level of control over it because of the Bayard.

I know that, but that's vague shit that, at face value, could mean "the Black Bayard was lost when the Black Paladin died but we're not allowed to say the words 'die'". That no one on the team questioned the fact that Zarkon was the old Black Paladin was just weird to me.

Wasn't Keith the only person who actually saw him use the Black Bayard in person? Anyway I'm surprised Shiro was able to get back into the Black Lion so easily without Zarkon or other soldiers giving him chase and getting in his way. Plus he was clearly injured from his fight with Haggar to the point his suit was breached.

Zarkon was able to assume control because he's a more powerful leader. The black lion only accepts paladins with good leadership qualities, and Zarkon is an emperor who commands extraordinary amounts of fear and respect; naturally the lion is going to prefer him over Shiro.

Gonna be rough trying to fight Zarkon when you have a head full of raep-PTSD and Zarkon can cuck you out of your lion whenever he wants to.

but we're not allowed to say the words 'die'

I don't think that's a rule.

I don't see why not. Might've been a thing in the 90s and 00s but they stopped giving a shit as of the last five years at least.

That's my point, I don't see it being a rule they have to follow especially with NFLX.

>How many mecha refrences can we stick in

Never enough.
Never ever enough.

GunXSword, Zeorymer, Lazyner, Fafner in the Azure, Votoms, GaoGaiGar, Might Gaine, King Gainer, Zambot 3, Daitarn 3, Dai Guard, Ideon, Gunbuster, Diebuster, Dancougar, Macross, every fucking Flavor of Gundam, Tekkaman Blade, Full Metal Panic, Baldios, Nadesico, God Sigma, Getter, Mazinger, Dunbine, Demonbane, Banpresto Originals, Gravion, Aquarion, Zoids, Heroman, Majestic Prince, Grendizer, Kotetsu Jeeg, Big O, Giant Gorg, Panzer Galient World, Linebarrels of Iron, Heroic Age, Tetsujin 28, Jushin Liger, Gaiking,
Detonator Orgun, Rahxephon, Betterman, Daltanius, Orguss, Gear Fighter Dendoh, Dragnar, Machine Robo, Xabungle, Evangelion, Braiger, Tobikage, Godmars, Tridger G7, Voltes V, Combattler V, Daimos, Reideen, and L-Gaim.

All of those being referenced are the bare minimum I require to be even 1/10th satisfied.

Dude NGE is a mecha staple, when a series already has some NGE shout outs it's hard to not at least consider the possibility of a reference.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Allura to do the Gunbuster pose after Shiro dines on pineapple salad

>Big O
Art of Shiro covered in tomatoes when?

Also, I'll be really disappointed if we never get to see a shot of Voltron dramatically rising from the deck of a ship with its arms folded, Gunbuster-style.

He considers himself the original owner as well, so not only is it easier for him to assert his will, but he's way more familiar with the lion's capabilities than Shiro is at this point.

Eva's already in brah.

And I'm not sure how to reference something as foundational as Tetsujin 28. I feel like nearly every mecha unintentionally follows similar premises.

Also they'll have to do the pose a bare minimum of once.

He'll say it after he discovers he's really a clone and the real one died or was killed a long time ago.

>No Ginguiser
Well fuck you too then.

Are you implying Shiro prostituted himself in exchange for that ship before crashlanding it to Earth?

Anonymous, Ginguiser being referenced literally exists in the realm of IMPOSSIBLE

Like this version of Voltron getting into a SRW like this youtube.com/watch?v=R7_iSyhv9fA

I gotta be a little realistic

I'm fully expecting somebody to pull off an Obari pose during the series, at the very least if the Blazing Sword is deployed.

You always gotta make it weird bro! Always gotta make it weird!
You will never fall to sleep cradled in his arms.

>no Gatchaman
Come on.

So, who is Shiro to Keith? other than his crush

They seem to have a relationship prior to the first episode, but it's not really explained.

Guys, I've come to a terrible realization.

That once you hear this only disappointment awaits you in the future.

Pidge could have reverse character development. She's already cut her hair, so the only way to show she's progressed as a character is for her to grow her hair back.

We could have long hair Pidge .

Blame Fukui and his love of gratuitous edgy rape, not me.

oh ye of little faith. Pidge's arc can only go from short-hair Pidge to slut Pidge[/spoiler

Shiro - Ken the Eagle
Lance - Joe the Condor
Keith - Jun the Swan
Pidge - Jinpei the Swallow
Hunk - Ryu the Owl

>Gaiking

I'll shit myself if the castle turns out to be Space Dragon.

What if she grows a mullet

She's a Keithaboo?

So Tumblr is the only source of fanart and its obvious that the artists are a bunch of women getting wet towards Shiro

What do I do?

At least he has no womb to surgically remove.

Learn 2 internet. Plently of actual porn out there if you aren't stupid about it.

What, you aren't wet towards Shiro too?
I'm more of a Keith fag myself.

I've got bad news and I've got good news.

We're mostly Pidge but goddamn if we don't have the gay for Shiro ourselves.

Hell most of our fanart is Keith and Lance or Keith and Shiro.

>not wanting to fuck best boy
Ideally my fellows would be churning out hot Galra nudes right now but in the meantime Shiro is a very nice cut of beef.

Fuck Fukui for ruining Char's Counterattack and also ruining Bright. Also fuck him for killing a Puru and having her live a godawful life that would have been more merciful to kill her within weeks of being forgotten by Judau.

Sounds like you need to get out a sketchpad and git gud.

Also fuck Fukui for his MUH NIPPON Zekefaggotry.

My nigga. I'd love some more Galra art, but a Shiro is fine too.

>19 years old

I know they won't bother because it's a pain in the ass to animate but please let Shiro grow out some shag by the time we catch up with him next season.

Maybe the rest of his hair will grow out too and he'll really become Japanese Space Bucky.

>OMG LOOK AT ALL DA EVA REFERENCES

Shipping Shrio with anyone feels weird to me.

He's clearly the Dad. Not the "Daddy."

Spending a year among the Galra will turn any teenager into a man.

That's why chances are if he's going to get shipped with anyone at all it's either Allura (very likely) or on a long shot Keith (after he's been revealed to be an alien, significantly changing their dynamic). Otherwise the most I'll see from it is one or more of the characters will form a crush on him but he won't reciprocate.

The Pidge-Gendo one's been confirmed already.

>questioning sexuality.

>all this gay art.

You people don't know what you're doing to me.

>slut Pidge

Yes please. It must get lonely out in space.

If you're a fag, you're a fag, just don't act like a faggot.

What gay art are you talking about?

>Woo
>1 2 3 4, Voltron's here, bigger than you know
>5 6, keep win, we fighting on, you can't get away.
>7 8, we run the universe and we're here to stay.
>9 10, we're here to win, Voltron's here let the games begin.
>Let's Voltron, Let's Voltron, Let's Voltron.
>Form up, let's go all night, let's roll all right, we're gonna rock and roll, we're gonna rock and roll.

Get that filthy hillbilly western animation bullshit out of my face.

I puked a little

...

Cadet trio will show up as a bunch of disposable mooks during the return-to-earth episode.

I don't remember this at all

>50 of the 115 fics on AO3 are Keith/Lance
jesus, do people really like rival shipping that much?

>Almost all of the fics on AO3 involving Pidge feature her as trans, and have her using they/their pronouns.

Fuck this gay earth.

The more a pair bickers, the faster shippers flock to them.

Hell, outright hatred between two people can be fucking catnip for shippers.

I wanted to make some kind of Pokemon joke (because all the games have a baked in rival), but really I should have said what said.

So we can all agree the Western animated ones are garbage right?

I hope this show gets referenced in Deadpool 2

>Shiro with a beard
Not sure I'd want this to be referenced in the future

Where were Third Dimension and Force animated anyway? Toei is Japanese and Mir is Korean but I'm not sure who animated the other ones.

Americans almost always outsource their animation so I doubt they were animated in America, Canada or France maybe?

>not wanting Big Boss Shiro

What's wrong with you?

> Implying that beard will give him status of the Big Boss

Why the fuck does Voltron Force look so BAD? Like it looks like early 00s digital anime bad

My guess is that it was made on the cheap-cheep. And probably made because somebody saw something nostalgia-ish make a brief comeback.

To mix comparisons a lot, it'd be like having Baccano! animated because of the swing revival of the 90s, only with a tenth the budget and passion.

But what I want to know is, on the original Voltron design, what was the purpose of that eye-like gem in the forehead?

When Hunk couldn't find the "form giant robot" button. Because Megas was all about the buttons.

It's funny how the current cartoon isn't the CG one, and we have hand drawn instead.,

How do you know how old he is? Has a chart of ages been released?

Are you stupid?

Start getting wet to Shiro with the rest of us

non-trans pidge is ooc.

What about Winning Knuckle?

I wish Pidge kept her secret. It was more interesting that way.

Everyone succumbs to Shirofaggotry in the end.

There was no point in keeping it in secret since almost all of them had known the truth

I just want to say that Evangelion is overrated as fuck

>why do they keep calling Pidge pidge instead of Katie!!!!
i don't remember them calling Pidge for his name either "Darrel"

...

>People thank that Shiro/Keith has a chance
>Implying it's not one sided sempai-kouhai
>Implying Keith/Lance and Allura/Shiro isn't end game

>caring about end game

The only endgame is Shiro/Death.

I wonder if Dreamworks really has enough balls to go canon gay.

I like Shiro as a character, but I expect him to die and I expect Allura to take over piloting one of the lions.

They did Korrasami and this is a Netflix show, so probably.
