The Black Paladin and the team's leader. He and 1984's Sven come from the same *GoLion* character, and this is the version that kept the Japanese name. A year missing after the Kerberos mission to Pluto's moon ends with Shiro escaping Galra custody alone, scarred and fitted with a prosthetic arm the premiere never explains; the Black Lion, the core of Voltron, does not choose a Paladin until the very end of that episode, when it accepts him as the team's leader over rank or seniority.
