"Keith's the loner. I'm the brain. Hunk's the nice one. Allura's the decision-maker. Coran's the wise old guy. And Lance is the goofball."

"This one's for you, Shiro."
— Keith takes up the mantle of the Black Paladin
"Hey, Blue, you know what? I gotta say, that's a great color on you. Oh! Are you from outer space? Because your body is out of this world! (pause) Argh! Jeez, that's like my best line."

- The Black Lion chooses Keith to be its new pilot and leader of the Paladins.
- Lance now pilots the Red Lion, just like he did in the original series.
- Allura is chosen as the new pilot of the Blue Lion. Only in this version she replaces Lance, not Shiro/Sven.
