Original Blue Paladin Theory
So…we all know that the writers of Voltron: Legendary Defender are experts on dropping very subtle hints. It’s one of the reasons I love the show so much. We know that Zarkon was the paladin of the Black Lion. And as they worked together, I’m almost positive that Alfor was the paladin of the Red Lion after this little hint here.

Okay, cool, so that’s Alfor and Zarkon, once upon a time besties probably, piloting the Black and Red lions. Cool. But check it chEcK IT CHECK IT OUT
So we all know that Haggar’s magic is the catalyst that allows Zarkon to locate the Black Lion.


Alright. Cool. But then… wait a second. We see her doing something very similar on her own in the pilot episode.

Zarkon was the one to connect over a distance with the Black Lion. When the Blue Lion reactivated, however, it was the Blue Lion’s Energy that Haggar felt. Does that mean that she’s connected with the Blue Lion?

Especially after the revelation of her Altean origin, it seems likely that Haggar, Alfor, and Zarkon are connected. It would make a lot of sense for Zarkon to consistently put Haggar’s opinion over others as a fellow paladin.

Not to mention, in this scene, she mentions that Voltron is rightfully ‘ours’. Not rightfully yours, mr. Emperor. Ours.
Conclusion? Haggar could very well be the original Blue Paladin.
Don’t ask me why I got so excited about this, sorry for the ramble. XDDD
