Why the Black Lion sensed the fake Shiro anyway.

keinoaposh:

So in this post I explained why season 3 Shiro is fake because of how the Lions reject paladins. But that doesn’t explain why it still sensed and located the fake Shiro when he was floating out in space. 

The Black Lion didn’t pick up on Shiro for seven whole days while he was floating out in space, until the last day. On the last day, right before fake Shiro was about to die, he started reminiscing about his team. 

He started focusing on his mental and emotional connection with the team. That’s what the Black Lion picked up on. The Lions are psychic and emotional beings, they connect with their paladins through mental links. It’s the psychic connection that allows the Lions to form Voltron. Although this Shiro is fake and/or brainwashed, he believes he is real. The connection he feels to the other paladins is real, and it was so strong that  the Black Lion was able to pick up on at the last possible moment.  

When this moment was over, when fake Shiro stopped reminiscing so strongly like this, the Black Lion no longer has anything to pick up on. So when fake/brainwashed Shiro tries to pilot the Black Lion, it goes back to recognizing him as fake and it rejects him.
