Can I just, talk about this scene here real quick?
yeah this one. Where lance is about to get fucking shot by Sven.
Like, before either Lance or Sven could even blink properly like, Keith just comes in and slices that gun right the fuck off so fast you can’t even see his blade.
Not only is this a bad ass moment for Keith (we even get the slow-mo and different angles of the hit as well) it also kind of shows us how Keith will cut a bitch if someone is about to hurt his lance friends.
I mean his sword came out of literally nowhere and cut off a part of the guy’s gun so fast and so cleanly too. Like, that’s not a sloppy cut at all. It was clean and it was fast. He was going in with the intent to Kill with that kind of cut.
And what does it show us about Keith? Well, it shows us that Keith will not let anyone hurt his friends and that he does care about Lance’s well being. (Which in turn, is great development coming from his new role as the team leader and considering Lance is his right hand man)
Cause let’s face it, Keith is hotheaded, he views himself as a loner, not typically a team-working kind of person. So for Keith, this is pretty new.
This scene is especially interesting because Lance, our dear precious boy Lance, is the sharpshooter of the team. He knows how to fire a gun and he knows how to doge from a shot.
When he’s on the battlefield, he’s cautious and analytical, so in turn, that makes him very aware of his position (and even more aware of how risky it is). He has to know how to dodge from a shot.
(Some images of Lance being a cautious boy)
And Lance is a damn good shot too. He never misses. The only time he does is if his opponent is too fast for him.
(Cue acxa dodging all of his shots because of her speed and obvious experience in combat)
And it’s safe to say that the team knows this. So then why did Keith go in for the kill like he did here? (Because let me tell you honey, that was not a warning cut, he was going in fast and hard and he was determined to cut. that. bitch)
Was it because it was just an instinct for Kieth to go and save Lance??
Just like he did here?(Keith looks absolutely fucking pissed)
Was it because he saw the immediate danger and gauged Lance’s reaction time to be too slow?
I mean cause look at him. He was barely getting up to face Sven when Keith fucking came over here and cut his fucking gun.
They’ve come so far from the first season, where Keith and Lance could barely even protect each other properly and now they’re saving each other’s asses like it was nothing.
In conclusion, they’ve become a lot more in sync and have become prone to save each other at the drop of a hat,
in the span of only seven episodes.
Bonus, Lance saving Keith:
