#krik (voltron)

[reindeer-games-sven]

Clearly I have a favorite in this show 

[sweetmariabear]

I could be completely wrong but! In the ending cutscenes for each character in Voltron: Legendary Defender we see in Pidge’s that the Holt Family helps to establish a new team (Vehicle Voltron cameo) and we see team members. Aside from Chip being a robot, it appears that Krik who is standing next to Chip, is depicted and drawn as female. Which is actually really neat imo.

cheers to vehicle force, an out of character video about the three leaders and their boss.

please enjoy :)

I felt the need to draw some Vehicle boys. So, I have Zandee, Chip, and Krik. It felt off drawing Krik without the garment (crown?) I previously drew for him, but I think as a pilot, he would put that aside. Anyway. I think the others got Krik his first coffee on Earth. I don't know if that's a good idea or not, but. Oh well. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Anyway! I hope y'all enjoy this one! Commissions are open and available on my Ko-fi. Until next time!

I know you might have already translated the page in the Dairugger book where Keats and Kirigas’s gems glow, but the rough translation refers to the gem as Taisanatama or Tama. So maybe it could be the name of their gems. But I wanna know what you think and translated.

Hi there, thank you for the Ask!

I don’t see Taisanatama in that page spread, but the text calls the gems tama (hiragana: たま, kanji: 玉) twice. Tama can mean: marble, ball, lens, gem, bead, jewel, etc. Did you mean chiisanatama (小さなたま) instead?

If so, that means small marble, ball, gem, lens, bead, jewel, etc. Chiisanatama is what is written in the first mention of it on the page. The second mention is hitainotama (ひたいのたま) I suspect the intention is to mean bead or jewel.

If I were localizing this translation, then I'd call it "mind lens", "psionic gem", "oracle stone", or similar due to the context of its use. Personally, I like "mind lens" the best.

Full text:

ラガー•ガードは無事にうさ縫うの旅を続けていた。 戦いもなく、メンバーもそれぞれくつろいでいた。 ところが、キーツ•チーフの額についている小さなたまが、突然光り始めた。 「何か怪しい物を感じる！」 「私も」 見ると、キリガッスの額のたまも光っていた。

My amateur translation combined with Google translate:

The Rugger Guard continues their journey safely. There was no fighting, and so each member was relaxing. However, the small jewel on Chief Keats' forehead suddenly began to glow. “I feel something strange!” “Me too.” When they looked, the jewel on Kirigas’ forehead was also glowing.

Scan of the page spread is below for those who haven't seen it before. Since this is from a book for children, words that would otherwise be written with kanji are in hiragana instead. I swapped out some it for kanji when typing up the text.

Voltron: The Series

So I wanted to make a big post about all the animated Voltron's because I'm neck deep into this series and I must yell about it In total there's five (5) animated Voltron shows, technically four (4) since most focus on the lions. I tend to explain a lot so for my own sanity I'll be splitting this up into multiple posts which will all link back together Dotu/VV (here) - V3D - VF - VLD

Word vomit under the cut <3

In the 80s 1984 is when American audiences first said hello to Voltron! Originally it was an anime called Hyaku Jo Oh Goraion, or Beast King GoLion, from Toei which was mistakenly handed over to World Events Production (WEP) after they vaguely asked for the anime with the lions in it. Soon enough it was renamed Voltron: Defender of The Universe (dotu), dubbed and edited, and became immensely popular, giving us the legend we all know and love! Most iterations of Voltron after this follow the same plot, except for VLD which is a hard reboot and its own series that will be talked about later. In Dotu, the legend is of five (5) space explorers who crash-land onto planet Arus, find Voltron and use him to defeat the evils of the universe. Those five (5) being Keith in Black, Lance in Red, Pidge in Green, Sven in Blue, and Hunk in Yellow. The show is fairly episodic but as it's being adapted from an anime it has some story beats too it, like how Sven became critically injured which led to Princess Allura stepping up to take over blue lion, or the plot with her distant cousins Princess Romelle, Prince Bandor, and Prince Avok of Pollux. The show was so popular that WEP had eventually commissioned a season 2 to be animated from another company as Golion ended at only season 1. Which had some changes to color pallet, overall tones, and even relationships from season 1.

That same year Vehicle Voltron (VV) also came into existence! Also adapted from an anime called Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV or Armored Armada Dairugger XV which has no relation to the Golion anime at all! The gist of it is that a team of 15 pilots explore the edges of the universe to help find new habitable planets to curb the fast-growing population of planets part of the Galaxy Alliance. The group is split into three teams. The air team whose commanded by Jeff, the sea team whose leader is Krik, and the land them whose led by Cliff. They all report under Commander Hawkins who's leading the expedition and the explorer itself. As the anime isn't connected to Golion/Dotu, WEP found creative ways to show that relationships! The main way is that fans were introduced to Pidge's twin brother Chip, another scrappy young kid with glasses who happens to have anger issues, he mentions this connection in one of the episodes "Letters to Home" where Chip waits for Pidge's letter to get to him.

For the last little bit of this, Dotu and VV have got themselves a movie! This is a purely WEP/American creation so no ties to the animes anymore. It's called Fleet of Doom which brings the two Voltron together and explains their pilots' histories while having a side plot that is pure KA fodder. Unfortunately we haven't gotten anything big like this again but in Voltron Force specifically we did get a call back to Vehicle Voltron

Just a clip of Keats being an incredible shot. The guy straight up took out two Galveston soldiers in a second like nobody's business.

The Voltron Vehicle Force are underrated as hell and I will die on this hill 

[chellekumari]

[queenscene2]

Before Krik was a Sea Team captain, he worked at Best Buy

Posting some old silly sketches of Cliff and Krik from Vehicle Voltron because Im hopeless

[sweetmariabear]

[dear-kumari]

Hi so nobody told me Ginger was highkey lusting after Sven in this comic

[chibi-pix]

Thanks to one discord server, I was put in the mood to draw Krik. SO, here I am with him drawn up for the VLD Blind Twinverse AU. For whenever he gets to show up. And he is not having a good day. But he won't stand down (even if he's forced to his knees). He'll still glare defiantly up at a Galran commander.

Anyway! I hope y'all enjoy this one! Until next time!

You're damn right Pluto is a planet!
