16. Legendary Bridge of Love
Voltron version: Bridge Over the River Chozzerai
One Altean legend claims that a young woman named Frida, of Altea, and a young man named Yuuji, of Helena, were in love. The problem was their two lands were at war and they were separated by water. The pair tried to make a bridge of stones, until one day the Goddess of Love, Roman, rewarded their efforts by performing a miracle. She created a bridge so the two could finally be together. And because of their great love, their kingdoms made peace and prospered together.
Fala explains that a new bridge had been built to replace the original one that was destroyed by Daibazaal in his first raid. There will be an opening ceremony in which the legendary lovers re-enact their embrace. Fala is to play the part of Frida, and one of the boys would play Yuuji. All vie for the spot, except Kogane who would rather mind the castle. Hothead wins the draw and is elated, but when he learns Hys will chaperone, he calls her an 'old bag'.
Jaga relays to Honerva the movements of Fala and Hothead. The witch sees this as a good opportunity for Sincline to move in. Daibazaal sees it as a waste of time for Sincline - better left to a Beastman. The rest of the episode unfolds much the way the dub version does, with Sincline going home in defeat. Daibazaal is unhappy with Sincline's obessession with Fala. He insists that Sincline will be the one to take Fala's head so the two of them can drink her blood 'through the night'.
