Keith constantly searching for shiro after a lot of time passed and not giving up, keith not wanting to carry on and keep saving the universe, not without shiro is my favorite trope
GOD GAB IM YELLING RIGHT NOW TOO................... keith’s devotion to shiro is so overwhelming. just to know that kind of relationship btwn two men exists in a cartoon is amazing? like okay. shiro asks keith “how many times are you gonna keep saving me?” and keith says “as many times as it takes.”
as many times as it takes
that’s a life pledge. it’s basically a proposal. keith is basically promising his life to shiro-- as long as he lives, as long as shiro needs help, no matter when or where or how or why, keith will go to him. and we see that time and time again in canon. keith singlehandedly takes out three men (INCLUDING IVERSON) and detonates explosives in the desert to save shiro. keith gets knocked onto the ground by the gladiator and somehow manages to get up and run to the opposite side of the room in the split second that it takes for the gladiator to attack and saves shiro. keith comes running from the other side of a planet to save shiro. keith searches entire galaxies for shiro.
“as many times as it takes” is the most romantic line in the show no one @ me on this
