Season 4 of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power ended with Adora shattering the sword that transformed her into the heroic She-Ra.

At the start of the fifth and final season, now on Netflix, Adora struggles with navigating her new, superpower-less soldier role within the Rebellion. But there are hints that the She-Ra form isn’t totally gone, as wise woman Madame Razz alluded to in season 4, She-Ra isn’t bound to the sword. The hero is part of Etheria and therefore existed before the First Ones controlled her. Magical horse Swift Wind can feel She-Ra’s presence even without a transformation. Adora knows She-Ra is just out of reach.
