The strange loin had a hole in his ear, just like Zira. Since, he was so keen on giving Taka/Scar the same scar that caused him so much pain, it would make sense for him to be the cause of Zira’s injury to her ear. To me, he looks more like a father, but could be a brother as well.
I honestly think that he's her father. He already looked old when Scar was a teen and both Scar and Zira have the same age. It would be impossible for Zira's parents to have 2 cubs in such time gap.
I think it’s ziras farther for many reason I do remember a book and it had the same lion in it and it was ziras farther But ziras farther was evil He had an argument with ziras mother and it ended with ziras mother dying but When ziras mother was fighting her farther she gave him a scar. I remember her farther trying to train her to obey Him and and make her fight and if she dident listen her farther would attack her that might be the reason why theirs a hole in her ear. Ziras got corrupted by Her farther and scar. Scars story is Almost the same as zira their both misunderstood. That’s what made zira and scar who they are now
CrazyWarriorCatLady I believe brother because the reason they both have the notch might be because their father might have given both of them that injury
@@skyholland9629 they say that Zira's father was a great king and when they had a baby girl Zira's father started to type train her at a young age and when her mother interrupted their training he was furious because he wanted to her daughter to be a great king too
The snake gave him a Scar and that's how he got his name Scar also it was the venime made Scar insecure cuz that is also what happened to Kion remember
I find it easier to believe that he is Zira's older brother than in him being her father. My impression is that he is older than Scar but not that much older. I don't think he was already an adult when Scar was born.
In my opinion, this strange lion must be Kuzimu, Zira's father, after he killed Azola (Zira's mother) and made perhaps a friendship with a cobra that bit Taka causing the Scar.
I assume that is most likely zira’s father. as Zira was a little bit younger than scar. Not much but a little younger. this is because Zira is a lioness. Lionesses live longer than male lions. meaning she could not of been scars daughter, or relative, but she lives on till the end of simba’s pride. meaning she is a little bit younger than scar. Also Zira and scar are nuka and zira’s biological parents as nuka quotes to Catania “scar wasn’t even his father he just took him in” meaning nuka wouldn’t say that if vitani and him weren’t his kids as he brags about it. saying he should of been king. these are my 2 theories hope it made some sense.
The Idea I had been most in favor of is the Idea that The Strange Lion was Zira's Father. However the idea that The Strange Lion is Zira's older Brother is very intriguing. It would clear up the question of how Zira would become so "devoted" to the Lion that Killed her Father. If The Strange Lion is Zira's older Brother. It is very easy to believe (if you consider the relationship between Nuka And Vitani) that Zira did not like her older Brother. When you consider Zira's desire for power, it makes it very believable that she might have hated her older Brother. Scar kills Zira's older Brother, Zira becomes Leader of The Outsiders, and Scar instantly becomes Zira's Hero. Zira's total "Devotion" to Scar now makes perfect sense.
Yeah that’s not it sorry but that’s not a nuff point all tho they are similar but someone said that it’s scars boyfriend but scar isn’t gay and he never was who says he was gay he could of been straight or bisexual
Pretty much the whole pride had red eyes, with the exception of Nala, Sarafina, Vitani, and Scar. So I wouldn't use that as proof for much. But these are theories, and theories are fun. All that really matters. The stripe though does give one thought. So if I were to pick a choice...I think maybe I'd go with Zira's father. The stripe is just such a major point. All Disney did was give us more questions they won't answer. >>
This wasn’t in the vid, but I personally think that it’s the selfish lion. If u guys know the canon (sort of) story of how Taka (scar) might have gotten the scar (this is head canon as far as I’ve been told) of course there are many ways on how Taka got the scar, but there is one on how the selfish lion was manipulating Taka into telling him very bad things that might have been the first step of how Taka brought the hyenas into the the den to make Taka’s father mad enough to give him the scar. Since the whole father-abusing-son thing is sort of not canon, but could be, but has not been revealed yet, this might be the opportunity where there is a possibility where Taka’s father didn’t abuse Taka, but was just mad and furious. Perhaps years later when Taka met the unknown lion and how we have a lion guard possibility (non-canon) on how Taka got his scar, this may be where the selfish lion perhaps wants to finish some business that he has started when Taka was only a cub. It could also be Zera’s brother also due to the fact that in Askari’s Kopa backstory where in this fan fiction story of how me, Askari, and perhaps some other ppl totally agreeing with the time Askari (being the narrator we all need and love right now 😊❤) saying this in some point in the vid saying “…Zera being the master manipulator…” including all the other things that Askari has covered in this vid on how they look and act the same to be siblings, that could also be a VERY huge hit on how they could be siblings. They are master manipulators! I’m still working in this theory due to the fact my timing might be a little off including the fact that the selfish lion was an adult when Taka was a cub. Zera and Taka are basically the same age right? I mean, maybe the unknown lion is not the selfish lion, but perhaps the son, brother, or a close friend that supports him in a way to finish the work that the selfish lion had started. I’m still gonna have to edit this A LOT if I’m gonna make this theory reasonable and possible for the time being. Anyway, what do u guys think? Does this make sense (I always get judged a lot for saying things that make sense to me in my brainiac universe even though it doesn’t make sense to other ppl and even though I try to break it down to be more clear, it’s more confusing on how much info and reasons I have just to have a simple answer that apparently doesn’t make sense to other human beings that don’t understand my brainiac universe as I do to make it simpler)? Edit: O. owly TOH universe M. mother of G. Godly Child of the Stars (the collector) How much have I written in this comment?! 😳😳😳
I found this lion king complete family tree video on TH-cam that said the strange lion was Zira’s brother.I don’t know if that is true tho… Love you videos Askari I’ve been watching your videos for years and years I don’t even know how many years I’ve been watching your channel so I’m really your biggest fan ever!
I think it's Ziras father because he was older than Scar and most likely older than Mufasa. He also has the same torn ear, stripe, and red eyes as her. It doesn't seem like he's Nalas father, considering he didn't pass down any visual traits to Nala. He can also be Ziras big brother.
My 6 year old daughter is a huge fan of your videos! She asked me to write that in her opinion, Strange Lion is Zira's older brother. All the best to you!
@@AskariTLKye, but in the lion guard zira dosent have that “birthmark” but strange lion doses, and the scene where we see the strange lion is form the lion guard
nuka has scars black mane reddish body fur tint and banishment and simba being mean to zira would anger him. but he was out for blood which means scars death really affected him so that is why i think nuka is scars son
The resemblance between the unnamed male lion and Zira are very obvious. They have the same colored eyes, same type of nose, and body structure. They both even have a cut on one of their ears. They are clearly related in some way but none of this isn’t confirmed yet but it is very possible. The Unnamed male lion is either the father, Parental uncle, Older or younger brother, or the cousin of Zira.
My favorite of these theories are that she is Zira's father, but I also like the one about him possibly being Nuka's father. I mean think about it, it could be that the strange lion had a cub (Nuka) but abandoned him and Zira (The strange lion's sister) takes him in. That might be why she isn't as close to Nuka as she is her own children (Kovu and Vitani) but Zira never told Nuka that he is just her Nephew and is why she allows him to call her "mother" because he knows no difference. And the reason why she had such a hard time excepting his death is because he was the last thing that reminded her of her brother since he is probably already dead as well. Wow! That would be awesome since it would inadvertently make TWO of these theories true! Great video! :D I love TLK
The time frame doesn’t add up for him to be Nuka’s dad if we are to assume he died from the roar, which feels implied. Simba wasn’t even born then and Nuka is younger than him.
Definitly a relative of Zira, most likely father or brother. He can't be Kovu's father since Scar killed/"destroyed" him when he got his scar and Kovu wasn't born then. But he also can't be Nala's father since we actually saw him in TLG being rescued from a tree and Rafiki then told them that Kion has a close resemblence with him.
I think strange lion is zira's father. Because in the song "when I got my scar " scar is telling that strange lion was telling that he has wisdom and power so, then scar is telling most powerful should be king . And you told in one video zira is the daughter of leader of lion of some group . It makes strange lion zira's father.
Honestly the strange lion and zira may look alike but I think red eyes have nothing to do with it cuz u know who else has red eyes? Sarabi. I think that zira and the strange lion must be siblings or cousins because they are also very similar in age and the strange lion would have to be much older than zira to be her father. Plus they both have very similar personalities (evil, manipulative, mysterious) and they both have the strange line like mark on their foreheads that you don’t see on many other lions in the lion kind or lion guard. Hope this helps!
I think he could be Nala's father actually. Because his status is unknown and so is Nala's father. It's also said by the directors that Nala's father was a rogue, and since this unknown Lion wants to take over the Pride Lands with Scar's help, it's obvious he's alone and have no Pride. Also, I don't think It'd be Zira's brother or Father. They look nothing alike. Zira's actual father's name was Kuzimu, a dark grey-brown male with a brown mane and red eyes. And Zira's brother was named Nunka who looked identical to Kuzimu but with their Mother's blue eyes. But both are dead. Nunka was drowned by Kuzimu. Leaving Zira and her Mother, Azola, but Kuzimu also killed her. So it was just Zira and her Father. Kuzimu abused Zira her whole life making her evil. That's also how She got her chipped ear. She ran away as a very young lioness and met Scar. Kuzimu died of an illness, so Zira is the last of her family. Then that's where we end off when She meets Scar/Taka. He began to twist up her brain, she fell in love with him. Blah blah, then came Nuka, but he was weak blah blah. Scar mates with Sarafina and had Tama and Mheetu, but she was a female and Mheetu was weak as well so he didn't want them, then when Nala was older he mated with her and had Vitani, but she was a female so Nala gave her to Zira, blah blah, Then scar mates her again and had a son named Zuberi, but he seemed weak(Really wasnt) and Scar killed him through rage. Scar stole Kovu from Kula and Chumvi, then killed them, blah blah. That's how Kovu became the future King. Wow, I got way of topic..... PFFFT- too bad!
1 where did you hear that backstory from because all of that sounds like theories made by fans that you just lumped together. 2 it's stated in an episode of The Lion guard that there was a cub that look similar to Kion who was Nalas father and his grandfather that's fell from a tree and rescued by the lion guard of his time.
@@WolfBlossem78 My uncle worked with Disney when the lion king was filmed!! Because of him I grew up on the Lion King. He told me the inner and backstory of characters and stuff!
@@alexei1072 My uncle worked with Disney when the lion king was filmed!! Because of him I grew up on the Lion King. He told me the inner and backstory of characters and stuff!
My theory is that he is Uru's brother, since the ages match up and since Uru is often portrayed with a head stripe. Maybe he got like kidnapped or lost while exploring when he was very young, and an unknown malicious lion with some kind of hate against the Pridelanders took him in and raised him to hate the Pridelanders too, and gave him a the ear notch and eye scar while training him. This also explains why Scar didn't recognize him, since he would've only heard stories and seen drawings of the little strange lion.
If the Strange Lion was Zira's father or brother, I don't know how Zira would have reacted upon finding out what happened to him when Scar used the Roar on him and the Strange Cobra.
I also have a theory about kopa, what is he joined the night pride when he was younger, idk if this one could work but its a long way's from the pride land's and that's what he wanted to do is get far away from there and it could work.
This took place in Scar's adolescence, and he killed the strange lion. If he were to father him, that would make Kovu *older* than Simba, which is simply not true.
I honestly think he is Zira's mate who betrayed her. Zira took kovu and met Scar, he was the one who comforted her. The strange lion doesn't look that much younger or older
Im leaning more towards Ziras father, as they look so similar, and its confirmrd that zira was a cub during the events of the first lion king (being nalas age when the movie ends) And it
I think that the strange lion was ziras dad cuz they both have a line at the end of there head and they both have red eyes and same eras and same Attitude
Zira and Nala couldn’t be sisters, and if they were, that’s a huge age gap. Because Zira is scar’s mate. Scar was far older than Nala, being the equivalent of a 30-40 year old when Nala was a cub. it would make more sense that the strange lion is Nala’s father, (and maybe at the same time Zira’s brother) and slightly older than scar, perhaps exiled or a run-away after receiving the snake bite. Or perhaps this lion is far older than we thought, (even though he doesn’t look THAT old) and they are both Nala and Zira’s father.
I believe the strange lion is Zira's father. It's not likely her brother since Zira is around Nala's age and the strange most likely died before her birth and she never mentions him. The 3rd theory doesn't really make sense since Nala's father is said to be another lion and the strange lion died long before Zira's child were born which was probably around Scar's rein, a little before Simba took over, so the strange lion could not have fathered Zira's cubs. Also, Scar is not Nuka's father; when he states that Kovu is Scar's successor not his son, he refers to Scar by his name and not by father nor does he or Zira ever mention Nuka being Scar's son; Nuka's jealousy is from being the 1st born and not being the future king similar to Scar's animosity towards Mufasa.
My theory is that the strange lion is mufasa and scar secret uncle...maybe mufasa and scars dad had a brother....maybe the secret lion was the lion guard.... I mean think about it the secret lion has a scar...scar was the lion guard at the time he got a scar....and kion got a scar who is also the lion guard....maybe he was trying to get scar to go on his side which explains why a Scar wants to be king
Another theory Did scar name him self? Cause he had scar and why would his parents name him scar if he didn't even have one when he was a cub. Plus his parents can't predict the future so, did scar name himself?
Yes, Scar did name himself. He was previously named Taka but changed his name after he got the scar. I explain it in this video: th-cam.com/video/6otLEXtJeQ8/w-d-xo.html
I think 1. Theory is correct. Strange lion looks like Zira, if she was male. Strange lion is maybe a year older than Scar and Mufasa. That would make Zira being few months older than Simba. Great video!
There's no way he's not closely related to Zira. He looks way too much like her. He can't be Nala's father because we know what Nala's father looked like. And it wasn't like that.
The only problem with the third theory is the fact that Zira was born in the same generation as scar. Nala was born in the same generation as Simba. Scar is Simba’s uncle…
At 4:09 I know nuka and the strange lion have the same eye color, but that doesn’t make him his father. My theory is that the strange lion is ziras father. Which means his nukas grandfather
He's Mufasas and Scar drother. He looks so same vith them and he dident like Mufasa mayby bikuse he vas chosed to king and this "strange lion" thinget that if Scar bikames king then he cug have little of the Scars instead. And if i wrote somthing wrogn dont blame me i am just a finland child.
My other theory is that zira and him either brother and sister or father...they have the same nose, HOLE in the ear, triangle fade on there heads, the same grin,and same exact eyes and personality..... maybe they are brother and sister and he is the father of kovu and the sister of zira...maybe he died and zira took kovu in...which makes sense because I'm pretty sure we know that z ira is not the mother of kovu
I think that the most probable thing is that he could be her father. That is because of their age difference. The Strange Lion is too old for beign Zira's brother or mate IMO.
3:19 How would the Strange Lion be Nuka’s father? I mean his mane color is black which means that his father should be Scar especially since the Strange Lion is way older than Scar. It would make more sense for the Strange Lion to be Nuka’s grandfather.
The strange lion.....I never thought of him and his personality to much but I could sugest that he is a lion from Zira's homeland or maybe her brother.
I think both the strange lion and Zira had originally planned to take over the pride lands but zira “ fell in love “ with scar and when he died she took in Nuka, Vitani and Kovu so they could try to take over the pride lands and she could take control but Disney loves to leave plot holes in their stories sometimes
i kind of came up with a new theory because of the way he looks and how he seems to be older than scar, i think he might be his family. An older half-brother perhaps. If we hold on to looks only we might also conclude that the mysterious lion is actually scar's biological father. Mufasa and Scar never looked alike. It had me thinking Scar might have been adopted. The strange lion appearing out of nowhere fits the missing father scenario.
I don’t think lion gaurd is actually canon because it’s actually impossible. First of all, it takes place while kiara is growing up, however kion is never seen in in the second movie, not even once. Secondly, the characterization is completely different for practically every character. For example kiara acts like a stuck up entitled brat that isn’t likable but in lion king two she is a kind and sweet young lioness. Another character is simba, in the original he acts as a cautious and good king but in lion gaurd he acts like scar did when he ruled, twisted and unkind. He brags about being king and acts rudely towards many characters. Lastly all the other animals in the outlands aren’t once seen in either of the originals. The hyenas are there but aren’t the same ones as before and there are also many other animals. Simba also lets crocodiles in the pridelamds even though in the second lion king crocodiles try to eat and kill kiara and kovu. Not to mention the timelines just don’t add up in the show. This is not meant to attack or alarm any lion gaurd fans, but just my opinion on the show. I don’t really like it because it changes what you know about the original movies, makes many of the characters rude and unkind unlike there real personalities and also makes kion much to overpowered. He uses his roar too much, and the Outland animals are also starving because of kion. The only reason the steal is because they need food, the basically have to do it. And again, this isn’t hate to any lion gaurd fans I just wanted to give my opinion on this situation since lion gaurd is just a confusing mess to me.
No hate but I dont think the strange lion, is the father of Nala beacuse the strange lion is evil like Zira and he looks like Zira (The strange lion can be possible the father of Nuka beacuse Zira mated with another Lion to make kids and Scar)
I think i have a good one. so. the episode where zira meets kion. after the song she shows him a rock that looks like a lion, and then when scar tells janja(i dont know how to spell his name lol) about how he got his scar, the lion has the same exact scar. so i feel like its Zira's father :)
Hey Askari, I got a other theory for the strange lion. What if this was Kopa? The lion & the cub look like each other. I know it's mean that Kovu is not Simba's son but it's just a theory so let me explain. So Kopa was born before Mufasa & was someone who'll be a perfect leader. But like Simba with Scar, he got a better connection with his uncle, the Selfish lion. But the Selfish lion wanted to take the throne at the place of Kopa & so get a plan for get rid od him. He get a even stronger connection & the real trust of Kopa as the days were passing. But one day, the selfish lion get Kopa into the outland, teeling his that for be a real lion he needed to stay in the outland & pass test. But as the cub was going too proch from a cliff, the lion push him into it. When Kopa looks up for see where he was, he saw 1 snake who bites at the eyes ( how he get his scar). For revenge, since his own family betrayed him, he decide that every lion who pass in the outland will get the same scar as him. But in the outland, he find a other lioness & the two fell in love. Some months later, there got a cub that they name Zira. So he give Scar his scar & is the father of Zira. I related the Zira's father theory at the end as you can see. And you know, til the prideland end lion guard defend!
@@marbleracinggenius2683Man it's just a theory, and Kopa is a no-canon one. I just made a theory since Kopa & the Strange Lion llok like each other. Plus, like i say, it will be that Kopa was born before Mufasa, so he'll not be Simba's son but Simba's lost uncle. I just create a theory about what i think, i don't say it's the truth. Take it like an alternative univers.
He could be a leader of some old lion guard as he to has the scar and it can mean that he was once a leader of the lion guard or he could be a long lost relative of zira
I don’t think this is Zira’s father. Zira’s father Kuzimu doesn’t look at all like the strange lion. Though this theory isn’t that great, it’s all I’ve got. The strange lion is Kovu’s father and Zira’s brother. After Scar killed him and his snake friend, unborn Kovu and his mother were all alone. Then Scar took the throne. Kovu was born shortly after, but his mother died during his birth. That’s when Scar chose Kovu as the next king. Edit: After a little research, the lion does look like Zira’s father. But there are slight differences to the two so now it’s more possible the strange lion is Zira’s brother.
The strange loin had a hole in his ear, just like Zira. Since, he was so keen on giving Taka/Scar the same scar that caused him so much pain, it would make sense for him to be the cause of Zira’s injury to her ear. To me, he looks more like a father, but could be a brother as well.
I honestly think that he's her father. He already looked old when Scar was a teen and both Scar and Zira have the same age. It would be impossible for Zira's parents to have 2 cubs in such time gap.
Askari Am I the only one who noticed how many times Zira’s ear notch moved from one ear to the other????
I think it’s ziras farther for many reason I do remember a book and it had the same lion in it and it was ziras farther But ziras farther was evil He had an argument with ziras mother and it ended with ziras mother dying but When ziras mother was fighting her farther she gave him a scar.

Ziras got corrupted by Her farther and scar. Scars story is Almost the same as zira their both misunderstood. That’s what made zira and scar who they are now

Bro he was definitely older than scar rewatch the song and you will see what I mean
Itsy-Bitsy is it cuz of his mane? If that’s what u talking about then he definitely is older than scar
Eric Lunsford he is way older than scar, this scar is barely older than kion, and that lion is full grown with a huge mane
I agree with you about that
The snake gave him a Scar and that's how he got his name Scar also it was the venime made Scar insecure cuz that is also what happened to Kion remember

I assume that is most likely zira’s father. as Zira was a little bit younger than scar. Not much but a little younger. this is because Zira is a lioness. Lionesses live longer than male lions. meaning she could not of been scars daughter, or relative, but she lives on till the end of simba’s pride. meaning she is a little bit younger than scar. Also Zira and scar are nuka and zira’s biological parents as nuka quotes to Catania “scar wasn’t even his father he just took him in” meaning nuka wouldn’t say that if vitani and him weren’t his kids as he brags about it. saying he should of been king. these are my 2 theories hope it made some sense.

Good point, that theory now makes sense, thanks for sharing.
Well looking at the strange lion's face and details I would believe that he's Zira's father because of the mark on it's top head.
The actual father is Msamaha
Yeah that’s not it sorry but that’s not a nuff point all tho they are similar but someone said that it’s scars boyfriend but scar isn’t gay and he never was who says he was gay he could of been straight or bisexual
Oris I'm A Wizard UwU how do you know that?
I think it is her brother because if you look on Zira's story by Askari you'll see who's Zira's father and that Zira was an only child
Pretty much the whole pride had red eyes, with the exception of Nala, Sarafina, Vitani, and Scar. So I wouldn't use that as proof for much. But these are theories, and theories are fun.

This wasn’t in the vid, but I personally think that it’s the selfish lion. If u guys know the canon (sort of) story of how Taka (scar) might have gotten the scar (this is head canon as far as I’ve been told) of course there are many ways on how Taka got the scar, but there is one on how the selfish lion was manipulating Taka into telling him very bad things that might have been the first step of how Taka brought the hyenas into the the den to make Taka’s father mad enough to give him the scar. Since the whole father-abusing-son thing is sort of not canon, but could be, but has not been revealed yet, this might be the opportunity where there is a possibility where Taka’s father didn’t abuse Taka, but was just mad and furious. Perhaps years later when Taka met the unknown lion and how we have a lion guard possibility (non-canon) on how Taka got his scar, this may be where the selfish lion perhaps wants to finish some business that he has started when Taka was only a cub. It could also be Zera’s brother also due to the fact that in Askari’s Kopa backstory where in this fan fiction story of how me, Askari, and perhaps some other ppl totally agreeing with the time Askari (being the narrator we all need and love right now 😊❤) saying this in some point in the vid saying “…Zera being the master manipulator…” including all the other things that Askari has covered in this vid on how they look and act the same to be siblings, that could also be a VERY huge hit on how they could be siblings. They are master manipulators! I’m still working in this theory due to the fact my timing might be a little off including the fact that the selfish lion was an adult when Taka was a cub. Zera and Taka are basically the same age right? I mean, maybe the unknown lion is not the selfish lion, but perhaps the son, brother, or a close friend that supports him in a way to finish the work that the selfish lion had started. I’m still gonna have to edit this A LOT if I’m gonna make this theory reasonable and possible for the time being. Anyway, what do u guys think? Does this make sense (I always get judged a lot for saying things that make sense to me in my brainiac universe even though it doesn’t make sense to other ppl and even though I try to break it down to be more clear, it’s more confusing on how much info and reasons I have just to have a simple answer that apparently doesn’t make sense to other human beings that don’t understand my brainiac universe as I do to make it simpler)?

How much have I written in this comment?! 😳😳😳
I found this lion king complete family tree video on TH-cam that said the strange lion was Zira’s brother.I don’t know if that is true tho…
Love you videos Askari I’ve been watching your videos for years and years I don’t even know how many years I’ve been watching your channel so I’m really your biggest fan ever!
I think it's Ziras father because he was older than Scar and most likely older than Mufasa. He also has the same torn ear, stripe, and red eyes as her. It doesn't seem like he's Nalas father, considering he didn't pass down any visual traits to Nala. He can also be Ziras big brother.
For my Theory is Zira's Fathers.
Same. I think that’s the most accurate theory.
@@AskariTLKno! Her father is Kuzimu, and the strange lion's name is Askari (loool Askari)
I like to think it's her brother
@@AskariTLK 5
@@kovacslisacaterina Maybe The strange lion-Kuzimu
My 6 year old daughter is a huge fan of your videos! She asked me to write that in her opinion, Strange Lion is Zira's older brother. All the best to you!
You forgive to say that zira haves the same birthmark of the unknown
You’re right, thanks for pointing out
@@AskariTLKye, but in the lion guard zira dosent have that “birthmark” but strange lion doses, and the scene where we see the strange lion is form the lion guard
Maybe zira’s father. He has the same unusual stripe as her and he has red eyes and they have similar fur. They even have the same smile
nuka has scars black mane reddish body fur tint and banishment and simba being mean to zira would anger him. but he was out for blood which means scars death really affected him so that is why i think nuka is scars son
That's a good point.
3:38- I'm the oldest, I'm the strongest, I'm the smartest OH THESE TERMITES! (*I don't want to admit it, but I'm also the ITCHIEST!) LOL X'D
😂😂😂Nuka is so funny😂😂😂
but it is sad that way Nuka died
Yeah😑
The resemblance between the unnamed male lion and Zira are very obvious. They have the same colored eyes, same type of nose, and body structure. They both even have a cut on one of their ears. They are clearly related in some way but none of this isn’t confirmed yet but it is very possible. The Unnamed male lion is either the father, Parental uncle, Older or younger brother, or the cousin of Zira.
My favorite of these theories are that she is Zira's father, but I also like the one about him possibly being Nuka's father. I mean think about it, it could be that the strange lion had a cub (Nuka) but abandoned him and Zira (The strange lion's sister) takes him in. That might be why she isn't as close to Nuka as she is her own children (Kovu and Vitani) but Zira never told Nuka that he is just her Nephew and is why she allows him to call her "mother" because he knows no difference. And the reason why she had such a hard time excepting his death is because he was the last thing that reminded her of her brother since he is probably already dead as well. Wow! That would be awesome since it would inadvertently make TWO of these theories true!
Great video! :D I love TLK
Thanks for sharing this with us, and glad that you liked the video!
The strange lion is Kalyana
@@AskariTLKcan you make a rani story it’s something I have been waiting for a long time
The time frame doesn’t add up for him to be Nuka’s dad if we are to assume he died from the roar, which feels implied. Simba wasn’t even born then and Nuka is younger than him.
Definitly a relative of Zira, most likely father or brother. He can't be Kovu's father since Scar killed/"destroyed" him when he got his scar and Kovu wasn't born then. But he also can't be Nala's father since we actually saw him in TLG being rescued from a tree and Rafiki then told them that Kion has a close resemblence with him.
I think strange lion is zira's father. Because in the song "when I got my scar " scar is telling that strange lion was telling that he has wisdom and power so, then scar is telling most powerful should be king . And you told in one video zira is the daughter of leader of lion of some group . It makes strange lion zira's father.
Honestly the strange lion and zira may look alike but I think red eyes have nothing to do with it cuz u know who else has red eyes? Sarabi. I think that zira and the strange lion must be siblings or cousins because they are also very similar in age and the strange lion would have to be much older than zira to be her father. Plus they both have very similar personalities (evil, manipulative, mysterious) and they both have the strange line like mark on their foreheads that you don’t see on many other lions in the lion kind or lion guard. Hope this helps!
The reason I don’t think that’s Nalas father is because her father was a jungle lion
Yes
How even can you think the strange lion is her father? I mean, look at the comparison of them. They look NOTHING alike. This is just my theory.
I'm not saying it's true, but that's what I think about them.
Shay and Bestie Slimes Mheetu, Nalas brother, looks a bit similar to this strange lion.
Since when Nalas father was a jungle lion?
I think he could be Nala's father actually. Because his status is unknown and so is Nala's father. It's also said by the directors that Nala's father was a rogue, and since this unknown Lion wants to take over the Pride Lands with Scar's help, it's obvious he's alone and have no Pride.
Also, I don't think It'd be Zira's brother or Father. They look nothing alike. Zira's actual father's name was Kuzimu, a dark grey-brown male with a brown mane and red eyes.
And Zira's brother was named Nunka who looked identical to Kuzimu but with their Mother's blue eyes.
But both are dead. Nunka was drowned by Kuzimu. Leaving Zira and her Mother, Azola, but Kuzimu also killed her. So it was just Zira and her Father.
Kuzimu abused Zira her whole life making her evil. That's also how She got her chipped ear. She ran away as a very young lioness and met Scar.
Kuzimu died of an illness, so Zira is the last of her family. Then that's where we end off when She meets Scar/Taka. He began to twist up her brain, she fell in love with him.
Blah blah, then came Nuka, but he was weak blah blah. Scar mates with Sarafina and had Tama and Mheetu, but she was a female and Mheetu was weak as well so he didn't want them, then when Nala was older he mated with her and had Vitani, but she was a female so Nala gave her to Zira, blah blah,
Then scar mates her again and had a son named Zuberi, but he seemed weak(Really wasnt) and Scar killed him through rage. Scar stole Kovu from Kula and Chumvi, then killed them, blah blah.
That's how Kovu became the future King.
Wow, I got way of topic..... PFFFT- too bad!
Where tf did you learn this
1 where did you hear that backstory from because all of that sounds like theories made by fans that you just lumped together. 2 it's stated in an episode of The Lion guard that there was a cub that look similar to Kion who was Nalas father and his grandfather that's fell from a tree and rescued by the lion guard of his time.
Impossible

"who is the strange lion?"
Scars boyfriend obviously
I was thinking simba's brother
True that
But we know that scar isn’t gay and he had his own children with zira all tho he met the strange lion before he had cubs with zira
@@jesslps2408 it was a joke lmao
My theory is that he is Uru's brother, since the ages match up and since Uru is often portrayed with a head stripe. Maybe he got like kidnapped or lost while exploring when he was very young, and an unknown malicious lion with some kind of hate against the Pridelanders took him in and raised him to hate the Pridelanders too, and gave him a the ear notch and eye scar while training him. This also explains why Scar didn't recognize him, since he would've only heard stories and seen drawings of the little strange lion.
If the Strange Lion was Zira's father or brother, I don't know how Zira would have reacted upon finding out what happened to him when Scar used the Roar on him and the Strange Cobra.
I also have a theory about kopa, what is he joined the night pride when he was younger, idk if this one could work but its a long way's from the pride land's and that's what he wanted to do is get far away from there and it could work.
My theory is that he is Uru's brother .
Nguvu mated with a lioness called Dhaifu and had cubs with him they are called Tanuka and Zira .
When I started watching this channel I became a HUGE fan of the Lion King
I think the strange Lion could be Kovu’s Father.... since he would be old enough to father Kovu.
This took place in Scar's adolescence, and he killed the strange lion. If he were to father him, that would make Kovu *older* than Simba, which is simply not true.
The strange loin look more like scar from live action film
Plus, the strange lion looks nothing like kovu. Just saying.
I honestly think he is Zira's mate who betrayed her. Zira took kovu and met Scar, he was the one who comforted her. The strange lion doesn't look that much younger or older
So interesting🤩That's a problem to resolve one day or it can never be resolved🤔 Thanks for your nice video👏
Thank you! 🙏
Im leaning more towards Ziras father, as they look so similar, and its confirmrd that zira was a cub during the events of the first lion king (being nalas age when the movie ends)
And it
I’m glad I watched this vid after I watched all the seasons of the lion guard I really enjoyed watching all the episodes and made a lot of ships ect
Nice to hear that! :)
I think that the strange lion was ziras dad cuz they both have a line at the end of there head and they both have red eyes and same eras and same Attitude
It’s almost impossible that the strange lion is Nuka’s father, as Zira would be his sister, and Nuka does call Zira “Mother” .
Zira and Nala couldn’t be sisters, and if they were, that’s a huge age gap. Because Zira is scar’s mate. Scar was far older than Nala, being the equivalent of a 30-40 year old when Nala was a cub. it would make more sense that the strange lion is Nala’s father, (and maybe at the same time Zira’s brother) and slightly older than scar, perhaps exiled or a run-away after receiving the snake bite. Or perhaps this lion is far older than we thought, (even though he doesn’t look THAT old) and they are both Nala and Zira’s father.
The strange lion is obviously Mufasa wearing a costume. Insert Mufasa laughing gif.
No it's not mufasa
I believe the strange lion is Zira's father. It's not likely her brother since Zira is around Nala's age and the strange most likely died before her birth and she never mentions him. The 3rd theory doesn't really make sense since Nala's father is said to be another lion and the strange lion died long before Zira's child were born which was probably around Scar's rein, a little before Simba took over, so the strange lion could not have fathered Zira's cubs. Also, Scar is not Nuka's father; when he states that Kovu is Scar's successor not his son, he refers to Scar by his name and not by father nor does he or Zira ever mention Nuka being Scar's son; Nuka's jealousy is from being the 1st born and not being the future king similar to Scar's animosity towards Mufasa.
I agree with you. The Zira’s father theory is what makes most sense.
I’ll do a video about Nuka in the future.
My theory is that the strange lion is mufasa and scar secret uncle...maybe mufasa and scars dad had a brother....maybe the secret lion was the lion guard.... I mean think about it the secret lion has a scar...scar was the lion guard at the time he got a scar....and kion got a scar who is also the lion guard....maybe he was trying to get scar to go on his side which explains why a
Scar wants to be king
Please let there be a season four the Lion guard
Maybe the strange lion could be an ancestor of Zira 🤷🏼♀️.
Awesome Video I always thought the Strange Lion was Zira’s Farther But I’ve also heard a theory that the strange lion could be Kovu’s farther
Thank you!
I also believe that the strange lion is Zira’s father. I’ve seen that theory about Kovu but doesn’t make much sense to me.
Askari same
The diffrence about them is that zira is not calm
In ziras death when she says never thats the same death of alfred he says never to and he falls to the water
Hey Askari, Im not sure of theory number 3 and my theory is Scar's uncle
Tbh as soon as I see the side-by-side comparison, they look like siblings.
I agree
Him: who else has red eyes?
Me: Simba and mufasa so surprise he is ahadi(Simbas grandpa)
Ligit 2 hours ago you were at 943 subs and now 1k congrats
I know, I can't believe it! Thank you!! :D
Yw
Nuka has red eyes like the strange lion.
They are probably related.
Strange lion might be his grandfather
Another theory
Did scar name him self? Cause he had scar and why would his parents name him scar if he didn't even have one when he was a cub.
Plus his parents can't predict the future so, did scar name himself?
Yes, Scar did name himself. He was previously named Taka but changed his name after he got the scar. I explain it in this video: th-cam.com/video/6otLEXtJeQ8/w-d-xo.html
@@AskariTLK oh, ok

Askari can you do a video on Rani from the lion guard not much is known about her or her parents
Please make a video on it!😀
I will!
It’s a possibility but I think we need more evidence just to be sure
I think 1. Theory is correct. Strange lion looks like Zira, if she was male. Strange lion is maybe a year older than Scar and Mufasa. That would make Zira being few months older than Simba.
Great video!
I would believe The Strange Lion is Zira’s Father
speking of the Unknown Lion, dose he have a name @Askari??🤨 because i have zero clue.😐
There's no way he's not closely related to Zira. He looks way too much like her.
He can't be Nala's father because we know what Nala's father looked like. And it wasn't like that.
Yeah, he’s definitely related to Zira
The only problem with the third theory is the fact that Zira was born in the same generation as scar. Nala was born in the same generation as Simba. Scar is Simba’s uncle…
Makes more sense The strange lion being zira's father
I think the same
Yes!!!!!!!!!
Davy Brito da Silva TV@ yeah it does
At 4:09 I know nuka and the strange lion have the same eye color, but that doesn’t make him his father. My theory is that the strange lion is ziras father. Which means his nukas grandfather
Você pode fazer legendado em português por favor 😢
0:30 When Askari said prepare he meant be prepared like Taka says in the iconic song BE PREPARED. And yes I'm prepared like Taka said.
He's Mufasas and Scar drother.
He looks so same vith them and he dident like Mufasa mayby bikuse he vas chosed to king and this "strange lion" thinget that if Scar bikames king then he cug have little of the Scars instead.
And if i wrote somthing wrogn dont blame me i am just a finland child.
My other theory is that zira and him either brother and sister or father...they have the same nose, HOLE in the ear, triangle fade on there heads, the same grin,and same exact eyes and personality..... maybe they are brother and sister and he is the father of kovu and the sister of zira...maybe he died and zira took kovu in...which makes sense because I'm pretty sure we know that z ira is not the mother of kovu
That strange lion IS related to Zira. The only thing we don't know whether if the strange lion is Zira's:
A. Father
B. Brother
C. Mate
I think that the most probable thing is that he could be her father. That is because of their age difference. The Strange Lion is too old for beign Zira's brother or mate IMO.
Your stories are the best I have ever seen ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
First one :Reasonable
Second one : Reasonable
Third one : NO NO NO NO
Fourth one: NEIN NEIN NEIN
I hope they make more Lion King/Guard films or series in the future.
I hope it, too. A prequel is what we need
I think these theories are very interesting 😊
I wonder what’s the Strange Lion’s real name and I wonder what are things about him and more.
To me the strange lion design fits of scar’s design from live action, just the main is different
Can you do a theory about
What is Zazu's FULL story and his family three pretty pleaseeee
3:19 How would the Strange Lion be Nuka’s father? I mean his mane color is black which means that his father should be Scar especially since the Strange Lion is way older than Scar. It would make more sense for the Strange Lion to be Nuka’s grandfather.
The strange lion.....I never thought of him and his personality to much but I could sugest that he is a lion from Zira's homeland or maybe her brother.
I think both the strange lion and Zira had originally planned to take over the pride lands but zira “ fell in love “ with scar and when he died she took in Nuka, Vitani and Kovu so they could try to take over the pride lands and she could take control but Disney loves to leave plot holes in their stories sometimes
I think it’s Zira brother’s because ur kinda right and he kinda is like zira
i kind of came up with a new theory
because of the way he looks and how he seems to be older than scar, i think he might be his family. An older half-brother perhaps.
If we hold on to looks only we might also conclude that the mysterious lion is actually scar's biological father. Mufasa and Scar never looked alike. It had me thinking Scar might have been adopted. The strange lion appearing out of nowhere fits the missing father scenario.
If it was a DELETED SCENE, then it wasn't in the movie. Zira didn't make herself fall. She wanted to get up herself but slipped. It was an accident!
Relax, these are just theories. I’m not claiming any of this as canon
Actually, the deleted scenes were the original scenes but were deleted because they were too dark for disney.
Guys the strange lion is scars dad because scars dad looks exactly like scar s dad but his dad probably made the snake attack him for his revenge
My opinion is that The Strange Lion is Zira's older brother.
I don’t think lion gaurd is actually canon because it’s actually impossible. First of all, it takes place while kiara is growing up, however kion is never seen in in the second movie, not even once. Secondly, the characterization is completely different for practically every character. For example kiara acts like a stuck up entitled brat that isn’t likable but in lion king two she is a kind and sweet young lioness. Another character is simba, in the original he acts as a cautious and good king but in lion gaurd he acts like scar did when he ruled, twisted and unkind. He brags about being king and acts rudely towards many characters. Lastly all the other animals in the outlands aren’t once seen in either of the originals. The hyenas are there but aren’t the same ones as before and there are also many other animals. Simba also lets crocodiles in the pridelamds even though in the second lion king crocodiles try to eat and kill kiara and kovu. Not to mention the timelines just don’t add up in the show. This is not meant to attack or alarm any lion gaurd fans, but just my opinion on the show. I don’t really like it because it changes what you know about the original movies, makes many of the characters rude and unkind unlike there real personalities and also makes kion much to overpowered. He uses his roar too much, and the Outland animals are also starving because of kion. The only reason the steal is because they need food, the basically have to do it. And again, this isn’t hate to any lion gaurd fans I just wanted to give my opinion on this situation since lion gaurd is just a confusing mess to me.
I totally agree. They also destroyed the whole meaning around the death of Mufasa; Kion just speaks to him like he never died.
Exactly. I also forgot to mention how Zira even states that the hyenas ran away, so it doesn’t make sense why they’re there.
I think yes because in scar’s song ‘When I led the guard’ the lion was at the place where we saw zira with kion in the lion guard
No hate but I dont think the strange lion, is the father of Nala beacuse the strange lion is evil like Zira and he looks like Zira
(The strange lion can be possible the father of Nuka beacuse Zira mated with another Lion to make kids and Scar)
I think i have a good one. so. the episode where zira meets kion. after the song she shows him a rock that looks like a lion, and then when scar tells janja(i dont know how to spell his name lol) about how he got his scar, the lion has the same exact scar. so i feel like its Zira's father :)
Hey Askari,
I got a other theory for the strange lion. What if this was Kopa? The lion & the cub look like each other.
I know it's mean that Kovu is not Simba's son but it's just a theory so let me explain.
So Kopa was born before Mufasa & was someone who'll be a perfect leader. But like Simba with Scar, he got a better connection with his uncle, the Selfish lion. But the Selfish lion wanted to take the throne at the place of Kopa & so get a plan for get rid od him. He get a even stronger connection & the real trust of Kopa as the days were passing. But one day, the selfish lion get Kopa into the outland, teeling his that for be a real lion he needed to stay in the outland & pass test. But as the cub was going too proch from a cliff, the lion push him into it. When Kopa looks up for see where he was, he saw 1 snake who bites at the eyes ( how he get his scar). For revenge, since his own family betrayed him, he decide that every lion who pass in the outland will get the same scar as him. But in the outland, he find a other lioness & the two fell in love. Some months later, there got a cub that they name Zira. So he give Scar his scar & is the father of Zira.
I related the Zira's father theory at the end as you can see.
And you know, til the prideland end lion guard defend!
It is not Kopa because Simba was not born and kopa is simba’s son
@@marbleracinggenius2683Man it's just a theory, and Kopa is a no-canon one. I just made a theory since Kopa & the Strange Lion llok like each other. Plus, like i say, it will be that Kopa was born before Mufasa, so he'll not be Simba's son but Simba's lost uncle. I just create a theory about what i think, i don't say it's the truth. Take it like an alternative univers.
Kopa isn’t canon.
The strange Lion name is Jasiri he is the youngest brother of Zira
He could be a leader of some old lion guard as he to has the scar and it can mean that he was once a leader of the lion guard or he could be a long lost relative of zira
You're a good youtuber. I like your videos
I don’t think this is Zira’s father. Zira’s father Kuzimu doesn’t look at all like the strange lion. Though this theory isn’t that great, it’s all I’ve got.
The strange lion is Kovu’s father and Zira’s brother. After Scar killed him and his snake friend, unborn Kovu and his mother were all alone. Then Scar took the throne. Kovu was born shortly after, but his mother died during his birth. That’s when Scar chose Kovu as the next king.
Edit: After a little research, the lion does look like Zira’s father. But there are slight differences to the two so now it’s more possible the strange lion is Zira’s brother.
Nice theory, I read a similar one somewhere.
