It’s the final fight and our second - and third! - giant robots of the season on Voltron! Join hosts Katie Cullen and Megan Salinas, along with guest Josh Keaton (voice of Shiro), for Voltron 7x13: Lions’ Pride Part 2. Voltron has just fended off Sendak’s fleet, only to engage in battle with a mysterious robot that’s fallen from the sky! With its quintessence-vampire blades and quick fighting style, it proves to be too much for Voltron, which is when Atlas literally steps in - it turns out the Atlas has had the ability to transform into a giant robot this whole time, and Shiro puts it to very good use. With the vampire robot vanquished and Earth now an open post and a haven for the Voltron coalition, the question remains: who made the robot, and why? Mysteries for another season.

We’re back on Earth! This week’s Voltron episodes cover what happened on Earth during the Paladins’ three-year absence in the void of space, and hosts Katie Cullen and Megan Salinas are here to break it down alongside AJ LoCascio, rejoining the show’s cast as new character James Griffin! Earth’s technology advances at a staggering rate thanks to Altean and Galran tech and the unceasing work of Sam Holt; unfortunately, it’s not quite enough to stand up to the inevitable Galra invasion of Earth, led by Sendak in yet another villainous return. A dangerous mission to a supply depot nearly loses Veronica (Lance’s sister, as we soon find out), and instead introduces us to the underground resistance and gets the Garrison the much-needed supplies to finish the as-yet-unveiled ship Atlas. Earth manages to get out one last distress signal, reaching the Paladins just as they head for home.
