shiro’s return theory
My sister and I were talking about how the most confusing part of season three for us was how long Shiro’s hair had gotten considering they made it seem like he’d only been gone for a short period of time?? that got me thinking about the theories where long haired Shiro is a clone who is now collecting data, but what if it’s the other way around? what if long haired Shiro is the real Shiro, and they never had the real Shiro to begin with? The Shiro that has been piloting the black lion all this time since they rescued him is a clone that was collecting the data and the memories, which they then fed into the long haired shiro via his mysterious bionic galran arm. considering how short and close cut his hair at the time he was captured during the Kerberos mission, it would make sense for his hair to grow so long in the year that he was a prisoner. The fact that he was rescued by ulaz and sent back to earth with perfectly trimmed hair (+ the addition of white fringe from trauma) doesn’t really make sense……(unless we’re just overthinking cartoon logic?) and the “weird headache” shiro has could be missing memories/data/wHatever????!!
aND ALL THIS IS THE REASON WHY KITTY BLACK DIDN’T ACCEPT SHIRO AS HER PALADIN AGAIN
edit: a couple people asked why the blade of marmora would help a clone escape; i don’t think the cloning would have been common knowledge among all galra soldiers, so marmora couldn’t have known they helped a clone escape unless they had soldiers who were working on this as well.
three seasons later and I wasn’t as wrong as expected
