32. Behold the 100 Ton Punch



Voltron version: A Transplant for Blue Lion
On Altea, the team worry about the next attack and how they can fare against this more powerful and more determined enemy. Fala's father appears and tells them that GoLion is invicible, but that they've only tapped into 60% of its power due to their lack of skill.
Before Kogane and Moody come to blows over the need for more training, Fala steps in and insists she's the weakest link and wants them to improve her skills. But first, Raible suggests they go into the city and gather the citizens into the castle for their own safety.
Problem is when they get to the city, the people don't want to leave - they insist that they stay and help defend their own turf. Fala is touched by their bravery. With the Blue Lion now repaired, the team hustles back to the castle to start their training.
On Galra, Honerva unveils a remodeled version of Lambda, calling this one Gamma. She and Sincline prepare for another attack on Altea.
Meanwhile, the training is brutal on Fala. Hothead is tempted to go soft on her due to the injury, but Kogane pushes her to get out of tough spots on her own knowing that the enemy would not have mercy on her weakened state. Fala gathers her courage knowing that if GoLion is defeated, her people are doomed.
During the next phase, Kogane has Raible order the Castle guns fired on GoLion so they can practice their evasive manuevers. Next, he has everyone pilot one handed. Seidou doesn't do too well, and his clumsiness makes him the real weak link. Before they can find tune their skills, they learn Galra is on its way.
The battle is difficult, as the team still has its struggles. Even after they form GoLion, they are losing. That is, until Raimon advises Kogane about the Four Lion Attack. All the power is sent to the red, green, blue and yellow lion heads and they launch - delivering a "100 ton punch" to the enemy. From there, they gain enough edge to bring out the sword and win the day.
