Plot; Shiro's past as a gladiator in Zarkon's arena comes into play against a deadly Robeast.
Strong episode that slowly begins to flesh out backstories while putting our still gelling heroes in a do or die situation against their greatest foe yet. The final battle between Voltron and its green crew and a powerful Robeast is well handled, with a great payoff in the first use of the iconic Blazing Sword (though never called such). It ends with a jaw dropping revelation with a whole host of future implications.

- Humor feels a bit more organic here, though I'm not warming to Coran re-imagined as buffoonish comic relief.
