If Alfor built one, the idea was probably for the lion to either be an alternative head for Voltron or just an alternative lion in general, in case any of the other lions were unavailable, so that they could still create Voltron even if someone went missing / ran off / turned evil.Īnd there’s a pre-existing precedent for a physical white lion, too: It’s not that big a stretch for Alfor to go from “this dude could try to use Voltron for evil / go rogue / etc.” to “I need to have a back up in case he pulls some shit.”Īnd a hypothetical sixth lion could logically be that back up. Alfor begins to doubt Zarkon’s leadership, and has several arguments with him about his judgment and his and Honerva’s hunger for power. What Alfor faces throughout Zarkon’s fall is the very real possibility that the leader of their magic robot lion fighting team could easily end up crossing some sort of line and going too far. But, I’d say that it at least makes narrative sense for there to be a sixth lion.
Now I don’t want to get too into the whole idea of “how likely is it that this is going to happen” because like? That’s hard to tell. And since I have nothing better to do with my time (besides my midterms next week whaaaat), I thought I’d try to answer the question: if there is a White Lion, who would pilot it?

Alternatively Titled: Local Girl Ignores Responsibilities in Favor of Overanalyzing Children’s TV ShowĪlright so ever since we were shown this mural, which depicts Voltron fully assembled and a lion off to the side, some people have started discussing the possibility of there being a sixth lion.
