History Recap / VoltronLegendaryDefenderS6e7

* SeriesContinuityError: Allura states that prolonged exposure to the overwhelming power of the Quintessence Field was what corrupted Zarkon, with no mention of the dark creatures that attacked him and Honerva. While there are dark clouds within the Quintessence Field, they do not attack Voltron or Sincline.

** ChestBlaster: The attack the Paladins use to finally defeat Lotor. Since it pooled all the stored up energy into one massive blast that engulfs Sincline, it also counts as a WaveMotionGun.

** RocketPunch: Pidge pulls this off during the final battle.

* MythologyGag: The lion head rocket punch and the chest blaster were both things Voltron did regularly in the original show.

* RocketPunch: Pidge pulls this off during the final battle.

* {{Bathos}}: While everyone gathers their things so they can evacuate the Castle of Lions before they have to destroy it, there's a brief moment where Lance struggles to get Kaltenecker the cow aboard the Red Lion.

* BittersweetEnding: Lotor has been defeated (for now, at least), Allura was able to bring back the real Shiro by transferring his spirit into his clone's body, and the team will finally have a chance to go back home to Earth so they can build a new Castle of Lions with the help of Sam Holt. However, the original Castle of Lions (which has essentially been the main characters' home all the way up until now) had to be destroyed in order to seal the rifts in space-time, and it's going to be a long journey to Earth since they no longer have the Castle's ability to create wormholes.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The Castle, which has been the cast's base and transport, is destroyed.

[[caption-width-right:350:"This body's barely living, but Shiro's spirit is still alive. He's inside the Black Lion."]]

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The Castle, which as been the cast's base and transport, is destroyed.

* SaveTheVillain: Averted, after Lotor is defeated Keith and Allura want to retrieve him so they can all escape the Quintessence field together. They don't have enough time to do that and save themselves before Voltron is destroyed, so they're forced to leave him behind.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Prolonged exposure to Quintessence, gives Lotor nigh-unlimited power, but drives him to insanity... [[HistoryRepeats just like his mother and father]]. The Paladins themselves come close to succumbing to the same insanity before Allura realizes what's happening.

It's the final fight between Sincline and Voltron, with the paladins just barely getting the edge until Lotor starts to warp in and out of reality. Voltron manages to take the fight there, and are nearly driven mad by the surrounding quintessence. After seemingly defeating Lotor, the group leaves and find out that because of all his dimension hopping Lotor had done, he had opened rips that if allowed to grow would destroy and engulf the entire universe.

They end up sacrificing the castle ship to achieve this goal and after finding safe group, Keith tells the others of Shiro's fate. Lance cries when he realizes Shiro had been trying to warn him, but he didn't listen. Allura finds out there's a way she can save Shiro and transfers his soul from the Black to his new body. Shiro comes back, and the others wonder where they go from here. Pidge suggests a new place they could go to that would help them recreate the castle, which was something she gave to her dad. Keith smiles with the others as he says that they were all going home.

* HopeSpot: The group realizes they can return to earth in order to rebuild their castle and hopefully a safe place to rest.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Lotor falls to this due to his
