This is my Allura couples rating and is based on season 1 to 6, but I am open minded and this may change depending on what happens in the next seasons
It's my OTP, and it's not something I hide.
I began to shipped them first for aesthetics, honest it was superficially in the began, I had seen fanarts before watching the series and I felt they looked good together, like a sexy couple of power. Then I started watching the serie and that's where I fell in love with the ship. They have many things that I like in a couple, both are mature, good leaders and seek the same goal. Since the beginning of the show, they have maintained a respectful shared leadership that feels organic, their relationship was similar to that of husband/wife work and both complement each other in a good way: The colors, white lion/male and black lion/female, heart and head and JDS said "If Shiro has sort of been like the edge of the sword, she’s been at the very, very tip of the sword saying like, 'That’s where we gotta go.' " And then there is the fact that they care about each other, Allura sacrificed herself to save Shiro and Shiro returned to save her knowing that was dangerous. When Zarkon attacked Voltron Allura ask for him and when Haggar attacked the castle Shiro screamed her name.
Now, Allura learned to absorb the quintessence in the episode that Shiro died and that is the same skill she used to put the quintessence of Shiro in Kuron's body. Allura was the one who killed Lotor (not on purpose) and also the one who brought Shiro to life. It was the beginning and the end of somthing
they both think highly of each other, The potential and those are details that they have make me ship them so hard.
I love them since the third season. Always though that they had potential since I heard the story of Coran and saw the memories of Zarkon, the fact that Zarkon gave the helmet of Lotor to Allura. And the past in common that they had. Lotor found in Allura everything he was looking for in 10 thousand years, Allura found someone who understood her and knew her culture, someone who helped her to be closer to her father's legacy. And I am always to see couples with an hero and an antagonism, they are so complicated relationships and full of different nuances and feelings, the anguish always is interesting, seeing how things will be resolved: if the antagonist could change to be with the hero or if he destroys himself by not being able to change?, how will the hero overcome the feelings has toward someone should not? Will the hero overcome her feelings for the antagonist or in the end forgive him and try change the mentality of the antagonist and show him a better way of life? etc... And then there's the fact that they share many things in common, and Lotor relly love Allura (Naraku wanted and love Kikyo, but in the end he ended up destroying her because he didnt understand and accept his feelings, love is not always good, sometimes it's something violent and passionate that becomes destructive, is a kind of love and relationship that heals you or destroys you. Everyone has the ability to love, only some dont know how to love and prove it)
I'm sure Lotor is going to come back and I want to know what's going to happen to them, It's complicated with a lot of potential for chaos or something really good and is interesting their relationship.
I love that Lance has genuine feelings for Allura and that he is a better person for her, but even so I think Lance needs to mature (Just like girls who dont feel complete if they arent with the boy they love, their maturity begins when they are alone and love themselves without a man. That's the kind of maturity Lance lacks) I think Lance has to be alone for a while and love himself without seeking recognition from anyone. And Allura loves Lance as friend/family but she has not seen him as a romantic interest. If Allura begins to see that Lance's feelings for her are genuine in the coming seasons and begins to look at it with different eyes, in addition to Lance maturing. It may have a lot of potential but it must be something of a slow fire and not start right now that Lotor is not there.
Kallura was a big part of the original tradition of the other versions. But as I said before in another post, this version has changed many things although it tries to maintain the essence of the previous versions (For example, Lotor is not a misogynistic type with harem but is still surrounded by Women, he develop feelings for Allura but in this version his feelings were reciprocated. At some point like the original version Keith was the black paladin, Lance the red and Allura the blue as in the original version but the real black paladin in this version is Shiro and he was never the blue paladin, he had a more active role as leader and he didnt disappear for a long time to be the first paladin that Romelle knew) Kallura may or may not happen.
At this moment I didnt see much of kallura, only in the first few seasons I got to see some pictures that could be read as future romantic interest, but even their relationship was very tense and when they were co-leaders didnt work. Allura was a rookie, she didnt know how to handle her lion and keith wanted to destroy Lotor (he put the whole team and her in danger), when they went to the other reality Keith told Allura not to go (Allura ignored him), they didnt have good communication so much was so that when Shiro returned, Allura gave more reason to Shiro of what Voltron should do, than to Keith who was the current leader. But hey, Keith spent two years with his mother, solving his insecurity of abandonment. Maybe this maturity will cause Allura and Keith to have more chemistry, it's a matter of seeing what will happen in the following seasons. But right now this couple is in pause for me.
This couple could have been higher in my rating, because I think they have potential but the truth they dont have much chemistry and they have not interacted much either (thing that hurts me). But the interest on Matt's part existed, I think it's cool that he found her beautiful and I got a lot of laugh at his reaction, see that he doesn't flirt and is like that with all the girls that he know is something I loved it. I had faith that they would interact more, but I think in the end Matt was just a boy admiring the beautiful in a girl and he is aware that there are many things to do, so he´s more focused on the mission than on finding a couple, something that I find refreshing and is the kind of maturity I expect from Lance.
Pidge and Allura have not interacted much and that these two are my favorite girls. I want them to interact more and talk about more things. relley I want that in these seasons their relationship grows.
it's a bit difficult to see Allura with any of them because Hunay are my second OTP, they are very beautiful. Hunk fulfilled his promise, went to her planet to save her and taught a new way of life. Shay inspired Hunk to really want to be a paladin. Hunk when he can mentions Shay and Shay when she can mentions Hunk. both have a super pure relationship, in addition to both characters share a same core of goodness even though they are big and strong on the outside. They continue to be innocent in their own way.
I love fanArts are super beautiful, but they have not interacted in anything and I still dont trust Romelle at all. In any case the only character at this point with which could see Romelle is with Keith because Keith took 2 years to reach the colony how much did it take to get out of there?, the vortex of time teaches visions of the past and future. That means that Keith and Romelle had to have seen things from them, whether they want to or not. He is the one who takes her out of the colony and the first to believe her story soo he was the help she needed.
(it's based on my personal taste and perspective)
