8. Stolen Blue Lion
Voltron version: The Stolen Lion
Fala has some training sessions with the boys in the lions, and it goes from bad to worse. After spinning out of control, she is saved by a traveler named Bambara (Bokar), from Planet Orion.
Bambara thinks Fala should act like a princess and not 'make war'. He also thinks the heroes were too hard on her. Moody calls the newcomer a snob adn the fight is on. Bambara wins, and all but Moody are impressed enough to ask him to stay and pilot the blue lion.
The cobra attack that happens in the night is chalked up to Raible 'testing' the pilots again, and nobody is yet wise to Bambara's Galran origins. That is, until Fala hands over the key to the lion and Moody then notices a cobra up the man's sleeve.
The rest of the episode plays out much like its Voltron counterpart, with Bambara kidnapping Fala in the lion, only to ultimately become energized as a cobra beast - and then destroyed by GoLion.
Quotes:
"An attack like that couldn't take out a sheep!" - Moody, remarking on Fala's fighting skills.
"My father's spirit dwells in all the lions." - Fala
Key Differences:
The guys aren't just hard on Fala, they're downright mean at times. Moody actually calls Fala an idiot at one point in the training. This, contrasted with her treatment in Voltron, is interesting to see.
Facts:
*The Beasts sometimes talk and often have names in GoLion, lending them a definite sentient quality Voltron took away.
*Raimon's spirit claims that a wicked soul cannot fly blue lion. Fala believes her fauther's spirit is in the lions.
