Voltron Season 7 is right around the corner, but I still really wanted to give my thoughts on the big reveal we got for Shiro at San Diego Comic Con this year! That is, of course, the fact that Shiro had a boyfriend named Adam before he left for the Kerberos mission.
That, combined with another huge surprise excited me as well as most of the fanbase to the point where I believe that Shiro as a character could have a lasting impact on not just Voltron, but also animation as a whole.
Watch the full video to see the other surprise I am talking about, as well as everything else you need to know about the Shiro reveal! As always tell me your thoughts in the comments below.

Cartoon Universe I’m very thankful that you put together this wonderful video of our favorite Paladin. He is so relatable in regards to his complexity and the trials he’s faced in life. Such a well-rounded character who is not only strong-willed but gentle and compassionate.
Shiro's boyfriend has died
Cartoon Universe voltron needs to come as a proper animation , not cartoon
@@titaestrada1867 Adam right?
Shiro: Space dad
Adam: Earth dad
Jazmyne Buro I already want to like Earth Dad. And we all already love Space Dad.
Shiro: space dad that has died
Adam: dead earth dad
eden Delaurier
I’m SOOOO mad about that
He’s dead and we didn’t even get to meet him and shiro didn’t get to say good bye
eden Delaurier SPOLIER MUCH?!? I HAVE CRAPPY WIFI, I BARELY FINISHED THE FIRST EPISODE!!!
Earth Dad is Earth Dead
Everything you said is what I explain to people that felt like "Shiro sexuality is out of nowhere and it needed to be a hint"
Shiro was a selfless character he would protect those in need, he wanted to keep his team safe he wanted to encourage his team to the fullest he had his own things going on but kept it to himself and him having a disease makes a lot more sense on why he did the things he did. This was great and smooth Character development for him.
It seems that the creators learned from Legend of Korra's mistakes and that's why I love this show so much. It's surpassed the original in every vein to the point that now it's a must watch.
Exactly he wasn't defined by his race or orientation, he was defined by his personality and character. To many writers now try to make race and sexuality the key focus of a character, and forget about the other things that make them who they are. Shiro is an example of great character development built over time, from taking in Keith and teaching him how to be a better person, to being a role model to the rest of the team, to showing how everyone can be stronger and better if they worked together
Shiro's character was well done. and to those that say it was thrown out of nowhere. I think it was done very subtly as it should be. in fact it is this video that made me realize he was gay. i watched all thru season 7 and it still went over my head.
Personally I sensed there was something about Shiro from the very beginning that seem to imply him being gay and for me this wasn’t something that seem to come out of the left field. Then again if the writers decided to make one of the paladins gay at the last minute, he was the obvious choice.
"And they were roommates..."
OMG THEY WERE ROOMMATES!?
They were roommates
ohmagawd they were roomates.
...
Imagine the couldn’t sleep
Shiro: I can’t sleep
Adam: I have an idea😏
8:00 "we can't kill off our representation!"
Me after watching voltron season 7: wow... yeah, killing off your reps? can't imagine that happening...
Honestly, it started going downhill during season seven. Adam deserved to live
*yes Sven and Slav are a couple*
YES!!!
I also love Shiro he’s one of my favorite characters of all time but I’m sick and tired of him being treated like dirt in the show
First it was all the torture then was being brainwashed then demoted as leader I couldn’t stand it
If anyone deserves a happy ending in this show it’s Shiro cause he damn well earned it!
patrick mcguire you do realize in the original show they just killed him outright right?
godofawesum223
Pretty sure his character was called Sven but I get your point I still prefer Shiro as leader not that I have a problem with Keith or Allura but that’s just how I feel
He was called Sven because in the english dub they made him as a Norwegian. But the original was Takashi Shirogane. Majority of the character names in the current series are based on the names from the original dub EXCEPT for Shiro.
"I can't think of anything more satisfying than being a paladin"
Said the [clone of] the man who thought his life was going to be short and had to burn bright
I'm glad they made a character who had a personality, and that his entire character doesn't revolve around being gay. Many times people will make characters in their show JUST so they can be a certain race, or sexuality.
I'm fine with changing a character's race or sexuality as long as it doesn't get in the way of the plot or character development, and as long as it isn't obnoxious.
This is a good example of how to handle these types of character choices.
Well said. Its nice to know that the writers put the narrative and character development first. i hope adam and shiro works out......
Just saw season 7......forget my last part of my comment........shadam is dead💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
And what sucks is, they still never even really defined their relationship. If not for the SDCC panel, they could have easily just been childhood friends.Absolutely no character development, so in the end, nothing really changed.
+Liam Barnes your right, and thats really frustrating cause we barely get to know adam as a character in both the present and in the flashbacks.
My friend deadass forget that Takashi Shirogane, a literal anime character, was Japanese, until halfway through season one, way back in the day
Honestly I’m really glad at how they handled shiro’s sexuality. He had a real personality and was genuine, they didn’t make his sexuality his entire personality and never outright say it, because they don’t need to. Shiro blends in with the cast because they chose to make his sexuality just a part of him, they didn’t make it stick out or be something huge, and I like it that way because it normalizes LGBTQ+ people like myself without making them seem different.
Car salesman: *slaps roof of shiro* you can fit so many minorities in this thing!
СУКА БЛЯТЬ 🤣
Car salesman should be adam.
ROFLOL! Exactly!
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He's my Second favorite character next to Keith
Neo Nightwing wait so Keith is your favorite character?
Neo Nightwing same well pidge is my second favorite character not shiro
Neo Nightwing Keith and lance are my least favourite characters, can you tell me why you like Keith?

I'm seriously looking forward to season 7's release. I'm thankful it's coming out before my next college semester starts up ❤️❤️❤️
Also, I just wanted to say I absolutely adore that animated Peridot at the end of the video. Very cool 😺👍
I love the Peridot so much as well! And I cannot wait for S7!
AHHH ITS COMIN OUT TOMORROW IM SO EXCITEDDDDD
It came out yesterday, I feel numb. And I cried after I finished. I'll keep watching but this show is hurting me more than Supernatural.
I think season 8 iscoming out soon
YES SHIRO APPRECIATION
Me and my friends got so excited when it was revealed that Shiro had a bf
SHIRO IS SPACE DAD!
Probably shouldn’t watch this since I’m only on episode 5 but it’s too late to turn back now
oof there’s a lot of spoilers here lol
wat u play roblox because of OOF
IM FINE WITH IT DO IT IM EXCITED ABT THIS
Lol I give two spoiler warnings!
XxPaperjam _PlaysxX [On Roblox] I don’t play roblox lol I don’t even know what it is tbh
I truly loved how Shiro literally destroyed the heteronormative stereotype when it was revealed about his sexuality.
I am not sure if I am explaining it correctly.
But it was a nice change of having a really strong who is also a main on the show have something really huge in my lifestyle to relate to.
I was afraid to watch it when it first came out due to the everyone on a team being straight. So I kind of distanced myself after seeing Shiro.
I thought "oh. Here's another status quo show"
And then boom, found last year he was gay.
And I'll just say it was a huge self esteem builder.
If you haven't figured it out I am gay.
But it meant so much to me that the LGBT character reveal was Shiro.
I know I shouldn't dump all this in a RUclips comment section
But I just wondered if there were others that identified similarly.
To Shiro sexuality reveal I mean.
Yeah, apologies for dragging on, but, as you can tell, it meant a lot.
And I'm glad you covered this.
I haven't seen past SSN 2 in case of the spoiler warning you put out.
But I'll check back later after I've viewed the series.
I’m here after finishing VOLTRON season 8... MMMMM
So... um... Shiro being LGBT changed nothing...
Horse Hay I also noticed how Shiro and his “boyfriend” didn’t look each other in the eye while talking. It honestly seemed unneeded.
Skyrogue19 they only spoke like 2 sentences to each other, love was not even shown. And one of them is now killed off
Agreed, the fact Shiro is gay didnt add any value to the story or improve on it. Adding Adam into the mix was weak. But him dying is a part of war.
Shiro being gay wont stop people from shipping lance and keith.
Trung Do it wasn’t the fact that shirt was gay, it was the fact that he was in a relationship, if Adam had been a girl nobody would have batted an eye, but suddenly because of shirts sexuality people focus on that instead of the story they’re trying to tell, love, war, and loss
I just finished the series. Watching your video makes me so happy to know that Shiro is also loved by so many.
Imma bookmark this to watch later after the episode comes out!!!
Honestly the reveal was disapointing. After all the hype after comic con, I expected to see a deeply developed relationship on display. Instead, we got a short scene, with a cold romance, that ended.
It felt like we were told Shiro had a gay relationship, and not really shown it. And, no. Im not complaining Shiro was not more clearly gay/"coded gay." I'm complaining that Adam and Shiro were not clearly shown as a functional couple.
For all the hype, I expected deepth, not an after thought.
Well, it's the tail end of a failing relationship. It's like that before you break up. You still have feelings, you still want the person you care about to be okay but you start getting resentful of the other person for not being able to see your wants and needs or that you realize by the end that those things don't match up or align. Shiro was sick and Adam wanted him to stay but Shiro saw it more as a ticking clock for his time on earth and didn't want to waste it. Adam wanted him close because he cared for him and it's normal to want to be there for a person you love if they're going through something difficult. None of these sentiments are wrong but they're both in conflict in how both men wanted to emotionally deal with the situation. Adam would have been scared and suffering waiting for Shiro to come back from a dangerous mission that he didn't have to do in the first place and Shiro would have regretted not doing what he could to leave a mark with his time. He would have come to resent Adam too for keeping him grounded. They both would have been emotionally suffering.
So the best thing to do was to end it.
After this long explanation I DO AGREE WE NEEDED MORE but the assumption that it was going to be a happy reunion from the fandom seemed like a strange thing to me. I read that they were engaged but the thumbnails we had of them, they weren't even looking at eachother and Shiro never talked about him to the others so i just figured it had gone wrong from the get-go and it was settled or was too painful in his heart. In that sense, I wasn't disappointed because I figured it was the case but it was indeed too little, like: How did they meet? How did they fall in love? When did they decide to get engaged? etc.
But here's the thing I'm not hearing: Can we acknowledge that Adam probably thought that Shiro died BEFORE the Voltron team found blue? This means that Adam died believing Shiro was dead too. Ouch. BUT we didn't SEE Adam die... if that's true, then the lack of scenes with Adam could make sense so this might not be the end. Shiro's face will probably be everywhere now in season 8. If Adam survived... boy... that will be bigger than just a reunion. Space Dad has become Earth Commander...
I mean but hey at least they got married so that’s good
Great video and I love Shiro even more after watching it.
Save me before i get drown by the comments!
XxPaperjam _PlaysxX [On Roblox] have a safety ring
Ok ik I shouldn’t compare Legend of Korra to Voltron bc they are two WAY DIFFERENT fandoms but u can tell that Lauren and Jaquiem learned from all the flaws that the show had and fixed them and created a better plot and story for Voltron. It amazes me how much 2 producers put their soul into making this show becoming a reality!! Mad respect for them!! No one truly expected Shiro to actually be part of the lgbt rep canonically!! That’s how you know that the show has taken a turning point and this just changes everything that we thought Shiro was this whole time and made him just even more amazing than he already is!! The way they portray their characters is just breathtaking and though I will be very sad to see this show come to an end, I have been blessed to be part of this fandom and to be able come this far. Voltron to me is a masterpiece and that’s saying something bc I’ve been into MANY amazing shows, but Voltron is a very special show to me....Season 7, the first half of the final arc, here we come
This video is perfect!
I started watching VLD exactly a week ago and have been watching about a season a day and am watching the last 10 minutes of S7 Ep13 tomorrow 😂
I personally love Shiro and have way too many theories and stuff on him. Never mind about the ships lol.
I also only just started watching your videos and aah this is amazing!
I DIDMT REALIZE ANY OF THIS MY EYES ARE OPEN THANK YOU MAM
I have already binged watch it all.
This is clear and well-said! We stan shiro!
I have been rewatched this show so many times but I never caught the fact that so many of Shiro's decisions in the early eps are influenced by the fact he was dying! Time for another rewatch with this information in mind.
Did everyone watch season 7?
Yaaaayyyy! SHIRO WILL LIVE!!
#early SO EXCITED FOR SEASON 10
season 10 o.o
Cartoon Universe Whoops!! Oml I must've been thinking of the date lmao **season 6
Tori Johnson you mean season 7 right? Because season 6 came out on June 15th......
Aboni Lashkar GDI yes thank you I'm just a fkin moron
@@jesterday3965 No you're fine! People can make mistakes
i just heard this music and crying i love him so much
I HAD NO IDEA SEASON WOULD BE THE LAST I'M SO SAAAAQD
Looking back at this makes me so sad. So much potential, instead we got vague hints with no canon confirmation and Bury your Gays.
5:24 - 8:10 That's the end of season 6 tune I know for sure, I'm also a huge fan of Shiro, and this part is probably my most part favorite in all of Voltron, which is kind of interesting because my favorite episode is the first episode of season 2, Across the Universe😊🖤🤍
otherwise, TYSM!
7:43 would that have been lance (he was also holding the lgbt sign)
And if it was then will he still be lgbt or not
If you pay attention to who are holding the signs you'll see that both who are holding the sign have something to do with the sign: Keith and Hunk hold the Race sign, both are related to this, Hunk approached Keith; Pidge and Allura hold the Gender Sign, both are related to this, Allura approached Pidge; Shiro and Lance are holding the LGBT+ sign, so...?
JW If Lance was bi or gay, I feel like that would just be weird with his character. Not because it’s bad or anything, but because he’s been heavily involved with romance and we’ve seen no hints at this.
MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IS ALSO SHIRO!
Im sooo hoping season 7 is amazing
Welp um. Season seven update and...Yah no shiro didn't change sh*t XD
This did not age well
SPOILER
season 7 killed Adam
CharlesGreen22 shook
Smh ik
I still have yet to forgive them for that.
Yeah well Adam was a pointless addition to the series. He gave very little to no value to the series.
yeah I'm still disapointed
I was flabbergasted 😭
3:06 THAT IS FAKE SPACE DAD! I WILL NOT TAKE ANYTHING LESS THAN REAL SPACE DAD!
He was gay the whole time
Wow
i love shiro so much
they really need to bring back sven. I love him.
He is actually Altaen and galra
Keith is gay too, I can sense it.
Nope, Keith has Acxa.
Nope. Just Shiro. Did think it was Kate tho.
More like Acxa likes Keith. I personally felt zero vibes from Keith in terms of interest. He was just embarrassed because he was being teased. He could be gay or straight and I'd still say the same thing. There was no chemistry between them. Maybe in the future they'll try to make something happen but for now, it's a one sided romantic interest.
The first fucking time I saw Keith the inner me yelled that he's gay
Not just that Shiro was running out of time, but him being a mentor to the other paladins was most likely needed for them to develop themselves as well. Like when Shiro's soul was still in the Black Lion, Keith and Lance got a little push from Shiro to do something that they'd probably just talk themselves out of.
sPOILERS wATCH OUT
LAUREN SAID THAT ADAM WAS MOVED ON NOT FUCKING PASSED AWAY AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SHIRO WAS ALWAYS IMPORTANT
Shiro and keth are both my favorite character
The second i saw spoler warning I paused the vid and wrote this bye.
one thing is i feel my life is like shiros in many ways
This aged well
I loved Keith story and his relationship with Shiro Big BROTHER
onii-chan ;)
Neo Nightwing same
Damn bro you had to put brother in caps lol
Yeeees!
Uh maybe Lance is bi then since he is on the other side of that sign and all the rest of them match up, what with Keith's genetic diversity as it were
Thrust8EX Gosh, that would be awesome. We can at least hope because, like you said, all the others duos match up...
Thrust8EX No please I don't want the whole show the be filled the gays
How Shiro changed everything, Shiro not dying means none of the main good guys will die. no mater how many fake out date they pull
I hope this was after season seven
With the disease, when the Galra took his arm and made a clone of him, whether for good or I'll, they healed him.
Where did the picture from 3:36 come from?
7:51
yeah....that would definetly...suuuuucccckkkkk
*and then they were flight partners*
where i can download voltron ? pls tell me
Wait ok I would just like to confirm
Was the guy Shiro got married to in the end Adam ? Because the he wasn't wearing glasses during the wedding, and stuff. Was he just wearing contacts? Or wat?
Shiros disease actually explains why there were so many clones of him.
This isn't a season 7 theory, I guess. More like.... For the ending of the show.
What if Shiro died? (And I mean stay dead, this time)
Its no secret Shiro's been tortured ALOT throughout the show by the writers. So... What if, by the end of the show, he dies?
I can imagine a scene where he sacrifices himself, and in the aftermath they circle around him, but the Paladins can't save him this time. Or maybe they could, but Keith decides that maybe, its time to let Shiro rest. (Something he can't seem to do while living.)
I think it'd be a nice parallel to season 6's ending. Where instead of coming back, he dies in peace.
❤️❤️❤️
Haha, watching this after season 7 🤦♀️
Shiro is best boi
Shiro is my fave too
Favourite characters best to worst
Shiro
Keith
Cosmo (keith's wolf)
Hunk
Pidge and allura
Krolia (keith's mother)
Allura's mice
Kolivan
Sam holt
Matt holt
Corran and Lance
King Alfor
Romelle
Acxa
Ezor
Honerva (nice altean version of haggar )
Zarkon
That is all I can think of right now.
Tell me your order of favourites too I would love to know
Aaaaaaand he marries Curtis at the end of Season 8
I have to agree, Shiro is my favorite character for many reasons. And if he were to have died in season two, that would be so sad! And it would honestly just ruin the show for me
Season 8 has arrived!!!! And Shiro is not gay WITH Keith. He was gay with Adam but now that Adams dead...in season 8 he's gay with a different guy which i dont know his name. And he gets married. In the last episode of season 8 The End is the Beginning...it shows Shiro in a suit white and a black tie and his fiancé is in the same suit. And then they kiss!!!!!!!!!! Now more news... LANCE IS ALTEAN!!!!!!!! When Allura kisses Lance, Altean marks appear like Alluras. But sadly Allura goes with Anerva and she is never heard of again. (Just saying im a emotional mess because i had tears in my eyes when Lance got the marks. Then when Shiro kissed his fiancé i started to cry....im emotionally happy. And i screamed "SHIROS GAY!!!!!!" I cried for 20 minutes strait.)
Hunk is the best Character.
I have a crush on shiro and Keith
and Shiro is now married
Yep, it also break people think that being gay is weak, scared, or another not so manly man. You guys just dont judging people by their sexual interest.
I’m suddenly a Shiro stan
Welcome to the club
Ellie B what's a stan
HEY WAIT A MINUTE BRO THATS NOT SHIRO AS YOUR DISCORD PROFILE PICTURE
THATS A CLONE
Sven and sloth 😂 yes just yes
*what if Shiro and Adam get back together when they get back to earth* *space dad and earth dad for the win*
Kevin Lawrence YESSS!!! Ok but like I hate to ruin this but.....it was confirmed by Lauren that...... *Adam moved on....* NUUUUUU I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT😭😭😭
What if something happens like in all the mangas I've read where it turns out the new guy is some bady, and he realizes there is only one true Space Daddy!? I NEEEEEEEEDD THIS TO HAPPEN!!!!! ME WANT SO BADLY!!
sorry Adam is dead
waaaaaa! Either way, he deserves someone nice!! Everyone does!!
That's not what season 7 said...
The most disappointed 😞☹️ shiro didn't get chance to pilot the black lion his connection was stronger than Keith
Meanwhile in the voltron fandom: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
*I'm a shirt stan.* ...
People who suddenly like shiro because of this are just as shallow as those who will hate him for it
How did Shiro realized he was gay
Serena Lara Gonzalez
Probably the same way anyone would discover their sexuality. Thinking "hot damn I want to tap that" about someone. Or no one if we are talking about asexuals.
Mi Shiro ya se casoooooooooooooooooo ♥♥
So I have to know... what do you think of Sheith?
I don’t know if I believe that the writers always intended Shiro to be gay. In the first season it definitely seemed like he was a potential love interest for Allura. This is backed up by the fact the writers had to age down Allura so she was more appropriate for Lance or Keith(the other potential love interests).
Me: *totally ignores the spoiler warning even though I’m only on episode9........ o f. t h e. F i r s t. S e a s o n.
Me: *Laughs in episode one.*
He changed everything by marrying adam at the end of season 8 OwO
Sheath forever,I can t wait for shiro and Keith
Shiro X Adam or Adam X Shiro is the real question!
Shiro and Guts are Manly Men men.
