Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Current Canon Point: End of Season 5
New Canon Point: End of Season 6
Major Changes:
During the time of his canon update, Keith spends two years inside the quantum abyss on the back of a
plot deviceSpace Whale. Time passes differently there, so the two years for him is a significantly shorter time for everyone else in the universe except his mother. But during this time he connects for the first time with his mother. This makes a huge difference in Keith. He's spent his entire life wondering why his mother left him, knowing nothing about her, knowing so little about who he is and where he came from. After his father died, Keith was very clearly lost. If it hadn't been for Shiro appearing in his life, he would have taken a much darker path, if he'd gone anywhere.But, even with Shiro's influence, even with his friends and the things he's accomplished, there's always been something empty and painful about his mother's absence. Getting to know Krolia (and being dragged into visions of her past and his past, a sort of bonding whether they wanted to or not) has sort of eased and partially healed some of these deeper wounds. Keith knows that his mother left out of love for him, not because the mission was more important. This has allowed him to come to an understanding not only with Krolia, but also with himself. Keith's long been at war with himself, and while that's not over entirely, he's defeated at least a few of his inner demons. Also he gets a puppy, and that probably helps too. Space therapy wolf.
During this canon update, Keith also comes into his own in terms of leadership. Where his previous experience as the Black Paladin had been frantic and chaotic, haunted by grief and then tension, and ended in him retreating and yielding the position of leader back to (who he thought was) Shiro. Now Keith returns and steps into the role of leader without hesitation. He's decisive and quick to action, but also ready to rely on his team and their input and skills. He bonds more strongly with the Black Lion.
He also shows that he's willing to lay everything on the line for the people who matter to him most, something that becomes clear in his confrontation with Shiro and his unwillingness to give up on him, going so far as being ready to die for his closest friend.
Of course, it's still Keith. He's still dealing with his emotions being intense and sometimes overwhelming. He's still impulsive and impatient (sorry for snapping Lance, but he didn't have time for that) and can be a bit single-minded at times. But over all, he's grown up and come into his own in many ways, even if he's still very much a work in progress.
Ability Changes:
No new abilities, but it's been shown clearly that some of Keith's Galra heritage is not quite as dormant/buried as might have been thought. In his battle with the Shiro-clone, his eyes begin to change when he is on the edge of losing his control. Not quite hulking out, but you know. He also gets taller, muscles up a little, earns a scar or two. And his mullet levels up.

Keith will disappear into the Woods for three days, at which point he will return with his new memories and without his shoes. Guess he'll have to use some of the Town's unfortunate shoes, until he can get new ones.
