Janja, I'm hungry!
Me too!
You two only have yourselves to blame.
To think that you were scared by the roar of a lion cub!
Janja, see, Kion's roar, it wasn't like, like a normal roar.
It was, uh... [NERVOUS LAUGH] Super loud!
And the clouds!
They turned into roaring lions!
Oh, so you're scared of clouds too?
[LAUGHING]
Stuff it, fur brains!
Seems we have a visitor to our humble humid den.
Janja. Hyenas.
Mzingo! What are you doing this far into the Outlands?
Looking for leftovers?
No, but I'd be happy to eat...
Forget it. We don't have any.
Simba's cub, Kion, managed to cancel our lunch plans.
[LAUGHING]
Then you already know about Kion.
Know what?
Simba has told Kion to assemble a new Lion Guard.
Lion Guard? That's impossible.
The Lion Guard died out after Scar...
Unless...
[STAMMERS] Janja?
The Roar! Of course!
Of course what?
Don't you know the stories?
The Lion Guard was legendary.
The most powerful team of lions in the Pride Lands.
At least they were...
[SNICKERING]
Until Scar destroyed them!
[LAUGHING]
What? A lion destroyed the Lion Guard?
Or so the story goes.
Ha-ha-hilarious!
Yeah! Them lions ain't too bright!
[LAUGHING]
Stuff it, fur brains!
A new Lion Guard could be very bad news for us hyenas.
And all the other Outlanders.
I gathered as much from what I overheard from Kion.
Yes, the old Lion Guard protected the so-called Circle of Life.
If Kion's new Lion Guard wins the trust of the Pride Lands,
we Outlanders will...
[GROWLS]
[HYENAS LAUGHING]
-[GRUNTS] -[LAUGHING]
Achoo!
Now, Janja, what were you saying about the Lion Guard and the Outlanders?
I was saying,
with a Lion Guard patrolling the Pride Lands,
it will be next to impossible for us Outlanders
to take whatever animals we want for food.
-Then what are we gonna do? -Ooh!
Oh, we could eat each other.
No, we'll strike now. Before the Lion Guard is ready.
And we'll take down all the animals we can.
Mmm, I like the sound of that.
Whole herds of animals!
-Yeah, right! -Tasty!
Tonight, we Outlanders, will feast.
Hyenas and vultures alike!
Tonight, we strike!

[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]
[WINGS FLAP]
Target in sight...
Dive!
-Hey, Ono! -Whoa!
Oh. Hi, Kion. Good to see you.
You see just about everything, Ono. That's why I want to talk.
Beshte! Beshte! Beshte!
Hey, everybody! Who wants a water slide?
Oh, yeah!
-Me, me! -Do it, Beshte!
One water slide, coming up!
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[GRUNTS]
ALL: Yay!
Yeah!
[LAUGHS]
-Strongest? -[BLOWS RASPBERRIES] Strongest.
Also wettest...
-[GRUNTS] -Ono!
Fuli, wait! Kion wants to talk!
Not now, Bunga. I got to run.
What? Why?
[PANTING] That's why.
[SCREECHING]
I see Fuli is a bit occupied.
Even I can see that, Ono. But I have an idea...
Huwezi!
You can't catch me!
ONO: Fuli! This way!
Fuli, jump!
Beshte, now!
Nice save, Beshte.
[PANTING] Totally. Thanks.
And as for you guys, I said I'm sorry!
I wasn't trying to be mean
when I said you look funny when you scratch your heads.
Apology accepted...
[ALL GROAN]
Hey, guys. Thanks for meeting with me. I wanted to talk to you because...
Well, I need your help.
What's the kerbubble, Kion?
The five of us are the Pride Lands' fiercest,
bravest, strongest, fastest and keenest of sight.
And that's why I want you all to join the new Lion Guard.
Together, we'll protect the Pride Lands and defend the Circle of Life.
[WHISTLES]
Well, lick my tail and call me a meerkat!
Hey, my uncle is a meerkat!
No offense, Bunga...
Wait! Aren't you a honey badger?
A Lion Guard?
Figures.
Always the lions lording over the Pride Lands.
I suppose Simba put you in-charge of this little team, Kion?
You bet your spots he did!
Fuli, the Lion Guard needs you. You're the Pride Lands' fastest.
You got that right.
And you're supposed to be the fiercest?
Well, he is a lion.
And lions are fierce.
It's kind of common knowledge, really.
Show them the Roar, Kion. Show them the Roar!
What's Bunga talking about? The Roar?
You think you're something special just because you can roar?
Wait until you hear it.
Come on, Kion. Show them the Roar!
So, what is the deal with your roar?
Oh, you totally have to show us now, Kion.
Seeing is believing!
Though with a roar, it's more about hearing.
Okay, fine. I'll show you the Roar.
Just stay behind me.
I don't want anybody to get hurt.
Excuse me.
Watch it!
Groundlings...
Ready?
Okay. This is the Roar.
[TINY SQUEAK]
What in the Pride Lands.
That was different.
[LAUGHS]
Kion!
You call that a roar?
[CHUCKLES]
Didn't sound like a roar.
That wasn't the Roar! That was a squeak!
I've found him, Your Highness!
Kion is over here!
See, Dad? What did I tell you?
Thank you, Kiara.
You and Tiifu go ahead and track the gazelle.
I need to talk to Kion. Alone.
Yes, Dad.
Thank you, princess.
Dad! Am I glad to see you!
I'm not sure why, but when I tried to...
Kion, Kiara tells me you've asked Bunga to join the Lion Guard.
Hey!
Is this true?
Well, yeah.
I was just talking to all my friends about it.
Your friends?
Kion, I asked you to assemble the new Lion Guard.
Instead you're just playing with your friends?
I'm not playing, Dad.
My friends are the new Lion Guard.
Fuli is the fastest.
Beshte is the strongest.
Ono is the keenest of sight.
And the bravest, it's Bunga.
Kion, the Lion Guard has always been made of lions.
Do you really think a Lion Guard with only one lion
can protect the Pride Lands?
Well, actually...
Son, listen.
The Lion Guard isn't a game you play with your friends.
It's real.
The Circle of Life, and your life, will depend on who's on your team.
Please, Kion.
There are plenty of good lions for the Guard.
I need you to take your new responsibility seriously.
Just as seriously as Kiara takes hers.
But I do take it seriously...
Kion...
Lil' B, I think Kion needs some time to himself.
KIARA: Be sure to stay low while we're tracking the herd.
And we need stay downwind, so they don't catch our scent.
That's why it's important to watch how the grass moves.
Are we going to attack them?
No. My dad says we should only take what the pride needs,
to keep the Circle of Life in balance.
If we took down gazelles just to learn how to do it,
pretty soon there wouldn't be any left.
Then we'd be as bad as the hyenas.
Huh.
What's Mzingo doing up there?
Vultures only circle like that when they're expecting to eat.
Kiara, look!
KIARA: Hyenas and Janja's leading them.
TIIFU: There's so many of them!
Yeah. And with Mzingo circling over the gazelles,
I have a feeling they're up to no good.
What are we going to do?
Go find my dad and tell him Janja and his clan are here.
I'll stay here and keep watch.
Okay, Kiara. Be careful!
Dad wanted the best for the Lion Guard.
And I found them.
But now, maybe the best isn't good enough?
I just don't understand.

Kion...
Hevi kabisa! Are you...?
Yes, Kion. I am your grandfather.
Mufasa.
I've heard a lot about you.
And I've been watching you.
You are about to embark on a great journey, Kion,
leader of the Lion Guard!
I'm not sure Dad's gonna let me lead the Lion Guard.
He's worried that I can't handle it.
Kion, Simba is worried.
But he's worried because he loves you.
Being leader of the Lion Guard will not always be easy.
Then maybe Dad is right.
Maybe I'm not ready to lead. Or use the Roar.
I'm not even sure I can control it!
First it's super loud. Then it's just a squeak.
And I...
I don't want to end up like Scar.
Don't be afraid, Kion.
Trust your instincts.
The Roar will be there for you when you need it.
And so will I.
Until the Pride Lands' end...
Grandfather Mufasa, don't go yet.
Trust my instincts.
The Roar will be there when I need it.

Kion! Kion! Janja! The hyenas! They're attacking the gazelles!
What? Oh, no!
[HYENAS LAUGHING]
Mzingo's telling the hyenas which one to target next.
Smart, in a devious sort of way.
I don't get it.
They've already scored a couple gazelles.
That should be plenty for all of them.
Yeah. Why are they still attacking?
Janja and his clan will keep going until the whole herd is dead.
-What? -No...
Don't they understand the Circle of Life?
They don't care about the Circle of Life.
They're not hunting for food.
They want to throw the Pride Lands into chaos.
And it's up to the Lion Guard to stop them!
The Lion Guard?
You mean us?
What about what Simba said?
So, what if we're not all lions?
I know we're the Pride Lands' fiercest, bravest,
fastest, strongest, and keenest of sight!
-That's true. -Of course, we are.
I guess?
Yeah! Let's go get those stinking hyenas!
Hold it, Bunga. This isn't a game.
We need a plan to take on the hyenas.
And I think I have one.
That is, if the rest of you are ready to join the Lion Guard.
I'm in.
Ditto.
Lay it on us, Kion.
Bunga...
[ROAR]
You are the bravest!
Fuli.
[ROAR]
You are the fastest.
Ono.
[ROAR]
You are the keenest of sight.
Beshte.
[ROAR]
You are the strongest.
We are the Lion Guard.
And here's what we're going to do.
[SIGHS]
What's taking Tiifu so long? Dad needs to stop this!
What?
Until the Pride Lands' end, Lion Guard defend!
[ROAR]
-Aah! -Zuka Zama!
-What the... -[GRUNTS]
Looking for something, feather neck?
[GASPS]
[CHUCKLES]
Huwezi!
Nowhere to run that I can't run faster!
[SURPRISED SHOUTS]
Hey!
[SURPRISED SHOUTS]
See what I mean?
Huh?
[CHUCKLING]
That's right! Keep going!
Coming through!
And, Beshte! Now!
Out of the way!
Twende Kiboko!
[YELLING AND LOUD CRASH]
Simba, Nala, look!
[HYENAS YELPING]
RAFIKI: Kion's Lion Guard! [LAUGHS]
They have Janja and the hyenas on the run!
That's our boy!
But the herd!
TIIFU: It's charging right towards Kiara!
-Oh, no! -Kiara!
[GRUNTING]
Help!
Kion! Kiara's hurt!
Okay. We need to get to her fast.
I'm the fastest there is. But what do I do once I'm there?
Just get me close! I'll take it from there.
-Bunga? -Don't worry, Kion.
This time, yours truly has a plan!
-Okay. Hurry. -This way!
Zuka Zama!
Kiara is trapped behind that rock.
Ah, I can't get any closer.
Then this is where I get off!
Hang on, Kiara!
[CHUCKLES]
[GRUNTS]
Zuka Zama!
Bunga? Have you lost your mind?
Never had one, Kiara!
Now, if you don't mind. Scram you, goofy gazelles!
Take this!
[HISSING] [TRUMPETING]
Uncle Pumbaa taught me that one.
[COUGHS]
Thanks, Bunga.
You might be stinky, but you sure are brave.
Kion! Bunga and Fuli did it! Kiara's safe!
Great! Have them regroup with us at the edge of the field.
It's time to give Janja and his hyenas something to remember.
Mom! Dad!
-Kiara! -You're safe.
I might not be if it weren't for Kion and his friends.
I guess he knew what he was doing when he picked them.
He did, didn't he?
Look! Look!
Well, if it isn't Kion, the lion cub.
You and your friends better leave now, before you get hurt.
We're the Lion Guard, Janja. We defend the Circle of Life.
You and your kind are not welcome in the Pride Lands, ever!
[ROARS LOUDLY]
[HYENAS SHOUTING]
Zuka Zama!
Now that's the Roar!
[ROARS]
[GRUNTS]
[SCREAMS]
Did you hear that?
-Kion. -Whoa.
[YELPING]
You win today, Kion.
Next time won't be so easy.
See, Simba? You see, huh?
[CHUCKLES]
He is ready! It is time!
Simba?
Yes, Kion is ready.
It is time.
Time for the Lion Guard.
