#kuron voltron

Because Shiro is japanese is white.

And some people call clone shiro kuro, which is black in japanese.

Some people call clone shiro kuron(i do this) because of the haggar experiment being called project kuron.

But also

And/or if you don’t mind, Rose Quartz with Kin list + C2?

It makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Keith's the only other person capable of piloting the Black Lion and thus leading Voltron. He's shown that he has the potential to be an effective leader, even though he started out with neither experience nor willingness to do so. He also knows Shiro better than anyone; if there was a single person on Team Voltron who could have realised something was off, it would have been Keith.

There's also one more point that's probably the most important: Keith is relentless. He understands the stakes of the war they're fighting better than any of the other Paladins, and he's been shown repeatedly to be able to play those stakes— it tends to be the others that prevent him from doing so (see him advocating for leaving Allura rather than delivering Voltron to Zarkon, or him pushing to chase Lotor rather than focus on evacuating refugees in 4.01). Had he grown and matured as Black Paladin, it would have spelled trouble for Haggar and the Empire, because that's the same kind of tactical ruthlessness you see in someone like Lotor, who is a pain in the ass to go up against.

Enter Kuron. Kuron who has the face and the voice and the memories of the person Keith trusts most in the universe. Kuron who's enough like Shiro that any differences will be brushed off.

Kuron whose differences from Shiro are absolutely devastating.

On the surface, it seems like Shiro! He encourages Keith to accept his position as Voltron's leader...except his actions don't reflect that. It's very manipulative in my eyes, how he simultaneously praises Keith's growth and puts him down. How he tells him that "Voltron needs a strong leader" but repeatedly undermines his strength by issuing orders that he knows the others will listen to over Keith's.

Kuron tells Keith he needs to be a strong leader while doing everything he can to make him seem a weaker one.

Summary:

Just when he thinks his steadily weakening arm will cost him victory and bring death, they take it from him.

He still has the little rock.

------------------------

“Yep. I picked it up on Kerberos.”

Keith blinks, surprised. His mouth falls open into a tiny ‘o’ and it takes him a few moments to respond.

“You… had it with you all that time?”

“Pretty much, yeah. I meant to give it to you long ago but you know, there was always something going on. And since we are traveling across the whole universe now, I guess ‘space rock’ did lose a lot of its coolness factor but- you did ask me to get you one, so.”

Shiro and his space pebble from Kerberos throughout it all until it finally finds it's way to where it was always supposed to go.

New, shorter chapter is up of my fanart inspired not so little story haha

like I'm going off this by memories but from what I remember shiro died. replaced by his clone (or kuron as we ogs called him) kuron activates. dies. but then not clone shiros soul goes into kurons body.

and like. that being said. shiros new body 100% has different scars as original did.

like maybe he had a scar on his leg from an incident with a stick as a kid, or a thin mark across his finger from cutting some food, yknow simple scars from memories of your childhood playing, then also sadder ones too, but he doesn't have them.

not to mention this new body has scars he doesn't know the origin from. the scar across his nose for example. we know how he originally got it. but how did this body get it? if we're going of this is an entirely new body he shouldn't have scars like this. there's marks all along his body surely from any experimentation the galra did to his body. we assume as viewers the glara removed kurons arm for the mechanised prosthetic (so does that mean og shiro had the same arm? that was the thing that activated kuron with the magic right? if shiro survived would he have become like kuron?)

then there's also a fear. was there more clones made. are they alive. what kind of people are they. do they think their team left them? we assume the clones must have some sort of need to go back to their teammates, kuron wouldn't have gotten to them if not.

also if we're assuming the amount of experimentation it too for the glara to remove the bodies original illness that would've killed him. how many died. what experiments did they go through before getting to kuron. did they try different human ages? is there a baby clone of shiro around?

who the fuck was kuron
