* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Allura demonstrates a significant number of stereotypical feminine qualities (especially compared to [[{{Tomboy}} Pidge]]), such as wearing [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] and [[TrueBlueFemininity baby blue]], being a graceful LadyOfWar, and has a love of [[FriendToAllLivingThings animals]] and sparkly things. However, she's also a very competent fighter and is later able to hold her own as a Paladin of Voltron, and had trouble handling Coran when he de-ages because she dislikes children.

Anything That Moves is a disambiguation


* AnythingThatMoves: As long as it's on two legs and female, Lance will hit on it. What can we say? He's a lover, not a fighter. This sometimes gets him [[DistractedByTheSexy in trouble]], especially with people like [[HoneyTrap Nyma]].

Flagrant misuse, as explained here and here.


* NobleSavage: With a critical eye Allura has elements of this and other magical native tropes in an SFF manner. For example her role around Keith in season two, where the story centers her having to go to Keith and reach a higher ground with him (and we never get her own backstory with the Galra aside from a moment at the beginning, and instead the focus is on her father throughout the seasons). Furthermore she's portrayed as a mystical being who noticeably sacrifices her own needs in later seasons.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: While the rest of the team may bicker with each other, they all deeply admire and respect Shiro. Season 4 lampshades this with Coran stating that he's the most popular Paladin among the allied Coalition.

By TRS decision Whip It Good is now a disambiguation page. Moving entries to appropriate tropes when possible.

* FantasticRacism: She has difficulty trusting the Blade of Marmora due to this, even after the likes of Ulaz proving his sincerity by sacrificing himself for Voltron. She also becomes cold toward Keith when she learns that he is part-Galra. However, it is {{Justified}} by the fact that the Galra ''killed all of her people''. Growing over this to work with the Blade of Marmora and admit to Keith that he's FamilyOfChoice, regardless of his blood, is part of her CharacterDevelopment, and she apologizes to Keith specifically for any hurt her attitude caused.

The Chick is now a disambiguation, not a trope. Replaced Five Man Band example with the one on the trope page.


* FiveManBand: Played with. The [[Anime/{{Voltron}} original show's]] main roster (one of the {{Trope Codifier}}s) is done in Season 3, casting Keith as the reluctant [[TheLeader leader]], Lance becoming TheLancer as his right-hand-man and {{Foil}}, Hunk and Pidge keeping their roles as TheBigGuy and TheSmartGuy respectively, and Allura joining the fighting force as TheChick as she continues to maintain order throughout the team and learns how to be a Paladin. However, this configuration doesn't stick, nor do they remain a team of five when they do take it up again in Season 7.

* FiveManBand: Played with. ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'': The paladins that form Voltron are 5, (one for each limb and head of their CombiningMecha).
** The initial lineup consisted of TeamDad Shiro, the rival duo of the hotblooded loner Keith and CasanovaWannabe Lance, and the support team of TheBigGuy Hunk and TheSmartGuy Pidge.
** After Shiro's dissappearance, Keith steps up as the new {{Leader}}, and Lance buries the hatchet becoming [[TheLancer his]] [[NumberTwo right hand man.]] Pidge and Hunk keep their old roles, but Allura (formerly the BigGood) steps into the field as the new fifth paladin and TheHeart of TheTeam. This arrangement is the usual set up in other iterations of the

* TheTeam: [[BigThinShortTrio Hunk, Lance, and Pidge]] were part of the same unit at the academy. When they sneak out to investigate the crash, [[ThreePlusTwo they meet Keith as they rescue Shiro]] and the Blue Lion takes them to Arus, where they awaken Allura and Coran. The two Alteans teach the five pilots to work as a team, and they all bond together to form Voltron and defend the universe. Shiro becomes TeamDad and TheLeader. Keith and Lance form a [[RedOniBlueOni rivalry]] for the "{{Lancer}}" role where the former is [[AcePilot an Ace]] IneffectualLoner and the latter is a GloryHound CasanovaWannabe. Pidge is TheSmartGuy, Hunk the BigGuy, Allura is TheChick and BigGood, and Coran is her OldRetainer.

Super OCD is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


** A more hilarious example happened when he has to transport Slav, whose SuperOCD and constant rambling about alternate realities seriously annoy him. (Of course this could have just been stress and panic leaking through at the prospect of being in a Galra prison again.)

* NeverSayDie: [[spoiler:Notably, the finale goes out of its way to avoid using the words "dead" or "death" in regards to her final fate, only ever referring to it as a "sacrifice".

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original series, Keith was the calm, collected leader. In this version, he's a hotshot loner, similar to the original's Lance. It takes several seasons for Keith to finally mellow out into his original personality.

* ActionGirl: Pidge is a capable warrior on par with the other paladins, even if she prefers to use her head.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationNameChange: Pidge's real name was given as Darrel "Pidge" Stoker in the comics, while here it's mentioned to be Pidge Gunderson. Pidge's real name is actually Katie Holt.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: This show's Pidge is reserved and slow to open up to others, as opposed to the happy and overtly friendly kid from the original.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalComicRelief: This version of Lance is mostly a comic relief character who sometimes butts heads with Keith. In the original series, he was instead more like this version's Keith, impulsive and not much of a team player.
