The Lion Guard is a team of animals who protect the Pride Lands and defend the Circle of Life.
Role
The Lion Guard is the team tasked with the job of defending the Pride Lands from danger, traditionally led by the second-born cub of the current leader of the Pride Lands. The leader of the Guard is bestowed with the power of the Roar of the Elders, which helps them in battle. Each member is bestowed a marking upon their shoulder in the shape of a roaring male lion's head. The mark may differ in color, seemingly depending on the fur, skin, or feather color of the animal with the mark. Interestingly, if a member of the guard passes their role on the team to someone else their mark will disappear when the leader gives the new member the role. While usually most Lion Guard leaders only choose four members to join the guard, they can have additional members or old members still continue to be on the team when the leader assigns them a new role.
Backstory
The Lion Guard is a tradition within the Pride Lands, especially for the second born child of the reigning monarchy. The very first leader was Askari, who created the Lion Guard himself as a way to combat a great evil. Generations later, Scar led the Lion Guard before Kion, but he was irresponsible with his duties, corrupted his purpose and abused his powers, using the Roar of the Elders to destroy the other members of the Guard, which resulted in him completely losing the power of the roar forever. However, very little has been revealed of past Lion Guards. Kion's Lion Guard is the only Guard in history with only one lion. Vitani is the first known leader of the Lion Guard not of royal blood, and is the sister-in-law of Princess Kiara. In Paintings and Predictions, Rafiki shows a painting of Nala's Father being saved by the Lion Guard of his time after he fell from a tree. In The Ancient Outpost, Rafiki reveals that the past Lion Guards used an old shelter as a lookout point for observing the Pride Lands. In The Ukumbusho Tradition, it is revealed that a male lion named Askari was the leader of the first Lion Guard and made peace between the lions and the elephants of the Pride Lands. In Cave of Secrets, it is revealed that long ago, an evil group of lions wanted to take over the Pride Lands, and in doing so they nearly destroyed it. So, the good lions of the Pride Lands created an unstoppable force to defeat them, but only the worthiest in the Pride Lands could use this force, which was Askari's original Lion Guard. In The River of Patience, Nirmala tells Kion that Askari discovered the Roar at Cikha Escarpment. Later - in Triumph of the Roar - Makini tells the Night Pride that Askari would practice there until he learned everything it could do. In Return to the Pride Lands, Vitani is made leader of an all lioness Lion Guard.
The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar
When Janja's minions Cheezi and Chungu threaten to kill Bunga, Kion steps in, roaring so loudly that the hyenas drop Bunga, who climbs to safety. Rafiki and Simba overhear Kion's roar, and the two come to realize that it is time for him to lead the Lion Guard. When Bunga and Kion return to Pride Rock, Rafiki leads them to The Lair of the Lion Guard, where he explains that Scar used to lead the Lion Guard until he lost his powers. Simba then tasks Kion with gathering a new Lion Guard to protect the Pride Lands. Bunga and Kion set out right away, and Kion asks the honey badger if he will join the team. Bunga accepts, and his adopted uncles, Timon and Pumbaa, offer him enthusiastic congratulations. Unbeknownst to the friends, they are being spied on by Mzingo, a vulture minion of Janja's, who reports back to his leader about the newly formed Guard. When Janja hears the news, he announces to the clan that they will strike that very night. On the other side of the savanna, Kion has appointed Beshte, Fuli, and Ono to positions on the Guard. He gathers the team together and attempts to show them his Roar, but all that comes out is a squeak. Just then, Simba arrives and reacts in horror to Kion's choice of teammates. He insists that the Guard must be made of lions and then berates Kion for apparently treating his role as a leader like a game. Wanting to be alone, Kion isolates himself from his friends, where he encounters the ghost of his grandfather Mufasa. The wise king tells Kion to trust his instincts and promises that he will always be there to guide him. No sooner has he faded from the sky when Kion hears Bunga calling for him, shouting that the hyenas are attacking a herd of gazelles. With no time to lose, Kion assembles the Lion Guard, using his paw to gift them each with a special shoulder marking. Together, the five friends attack the hyenas, driving them back into the Outlands. Kion finishes the fight with the powerful Roar of the Elders, and even Janja flees in terror. Simba, Nala, and Rafiki watch from a nearby ridge and realizes that his son was wise to have chosen who he chose. He congratulates his son on the victory and accepts this new, brilliant assembling of loyal animals.
Never Judge a Hyena by Its Spots
The Lion Guard becomes separated when Kion is swept into the Outlands. With the help of Mbeya the rhino and Jasiri the hyena, the Guard is able to reunite with their leader at Flat Ridge Rock, with Kion learning along the way that he and Jasiri are not as different as he initially believed. Though they are at first distrustful of the hyena, Kion convinces them that not all hyenas are bad.
The Rise of Makuu
When a new crocodile leader, Makuu, begins to cause trouble in the Pride Lands, the Lion Guard uses a demonstration of the Roar of the Elders to show Makuu what he's up against if he chooses to fight them.
The show centers on Kion, the son of King Simba and Queen Nala, and the younger brother of Kiara. As second-born to the throne, Kion was gifted with a power called the 'Roar of the Elders' and becomes the leader of the Lion Guard, a team that protects the Pride Lands and defends the Circle of Life.
