Pilot The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar. Kion, the second-born cub of Simba and Nala, discovers that he has the ability to channel the roars of the great lions of the past, giving him fierce power, just like his great uncle Scar, who had the same power before him, but who tragically misused it. At the instructions of Simba and Rafiki, he forms a team called the Lion Guard to stop a group of hyenas, led by Janja. As Kion chooses his non-lion friends, Bunga the honey badger, Ono the egret, Beshte the hippopotamus and Fuli the cheetah, to populate it, Simba scolds him for not taking his new responsibilities seriously but when they save Kion's sister Kiara from a herd of stampeding gazelle and defeat Janja and the hyenas, Simba realizes that Kion has protected the Pride Lands and is indeed ready to lead his new Lion Guard.
