What Episode Does Keith Learn Of His Galra Blood

The Blade of Marmora

This episode begins the next phase of the plan to defeat Zarkon by allying with the Bract of Marmora.

In add-on to consisting of Galra members against Zarkon, more interesting details are revealed about how the organization works. Their base of operations is located betwixt two active black holes. The members are also suspicious of newcomers and aren't easily convinced to join the brotherhood, fifty-fifty if they're the universe's best defender. These reveals add together on to the inventiveness of their environment and the believability of its members' mindset. They're fighting against their leader, and then that gives cracking crusade for caution.

Asouth for the Paladins, Keith is the standout character for this episode. When budgeted these Galra traitors, he'southward completely anxious to get there, and snaps at the balance of the Paladins equally they partake in their usual pocket-sized talk. Keith is known for attitude issues, but when you consider Keith observing his Galra bract in prior episodes, his outbursts accept more than weight to them than usual. Of course he'd be anxious to meet these rebels so to acquire more about the artifact to observe out the truth about his upbringings, a very relatable want. The Blade of Marmora only allow two Paladins to speak with them, and Keith is chosen to go with Shiro.

Withal, it's Keith'south ties to his blade that becomes a drawback when the whole grouping accuses him of stealing information technology even though he had it all his life. So, Keith is thrown into challenges to get the Bract of Marmora on the Paladins' side, prove he didn't steal the Galra blade, and possibly acquire nearly his past. The grab is that every challenge is a grueling fight that gets harsher every time, and everyone shoots down any valid statements of how unfair they are. It's remarkable to see how much hardships Keith's willing to put up with to get what he desires. It doesn't paint the Bract of Marmora as very sympathetic though. They may exist understandably wary of outsiders, but Keith's a main protector of the galaxy regardless. It doesn't warrant this magnitude of tortures.

What they do to Keith gets worse when they mess with his desires, starting small with creating a vision of Shiro to get Keith to hand over the blade, and then tapping into Keith'due south bigger desire to learn his groundwork. At least out of this vision, we do get an interesting look at Keith'south Earth life in which he had a human dad who got the Galra blade from his mom whom we go an interesting proposition for who she is post-obit Keith catastrophe his suffering. Knowing that he promised Shiro to lead the team someday, Keith decides that learning where he came from isn't every bit of import as being there for others and decides to give up his blade before anyone can relieve him.

Through this gesture, the blade grows in size considering Keith is of Galra blood. When y'all put this and the vision together, this concludes that Keith's mother was from the Galra Empire which is interesting trivia for this graphic symbol and something intriguing to look into in episodes to come. Keith'south development does wonders for him not only with the insight on his background, but also how what he learns helps him overcome his attitude faults to become a meliorate leader.

It helps the whole episode come up together as a great pace in our heroes' plan especially when short scenes of Haggar interrogating Zarkon's crew to find the traitor bring a stiff sense of urgency. In a higher place all, it leaves us with a potent, idea-provoking lookout man. 9.5/ten
