Who Kovu’s REAL Parents Are In The Lion King... 

🤯😱

That movie would've been so savage 😮😅

Or even an adult version of the lion king giving more info and background that kids probably shouldn’t hear, with the same or similar animation. I’d love to see lion king about scar and Zira as well as a movie about scars and mufasa’s parents!! Or even a movie that goes into more detail about kovu’s past!! That I think people would watch.

Hold on let me say something rq if that’s ok they are in the making of a Mufasa the Lion King movie which probably has Scar and his past/backstory

@@SilasOsterwalder-yx3tj Chances of that is slim since Disney don’t really go on Villain backstories since Maleficent and maybe Little Mermaid (live versions)

He really does i was thinking he was related to Rani and balio when they were first introduced but by kion being Rani's mate Kovu couldn't be Related to the night pride directly as Surak is Rani and baliyos uncle and Nirmala's Mate(they are infact married looked it up) so he could possibly be related to some other lions that left the tree of Left after healing from an injury that we just haven't heard of yet

​@@carolynrobinson-pi4hf Why couldn't he be related to Rani and her family? Yes she married Kion but they have no connection to Scar or Pride Rock. Just imagine if Kovu was Rani's long lost older brother. That could even tie into her parents' death. When Rani and Baliyo were practically newborn cubs - lets say for argument's sake they are from the same litter - Zira and her followers attacked the Tree of Life for whatever reason (that might even be what ultimately led to Simba banishing them). The Night Pride managed to fend them off but Sâhasí and Ãnanda were killed in battle, Rani was injured (that would explain her own scar) and Kovu kidnapped (maybe precicely because he resembles Scar so much). Due to the trauma of what happened his earliest memories are repressed (like what happened in "Anastasia"), so he genuenly doesen't know anything about his birth family or where he came from. The possibillities for storylines practically write themselves!

Kovu is actually 2 years older.

@@susanbones3381Zira and scar wouldn’t attack the tree of life. Scar not only refused treatment for his eye due due to how far away it was (and the pridelands was going thru tough times during that time) but i rlly doubt with the timelines they traveled to the tree of life. It took kion years. Tree of life is way too far away. It’s not as close as you think.

I just realised that. He has a brown mane and fur like Night Pride lions.

Yep, that’s corect

Yet there's the theory Vitani is Scar and Nala's daughter because Scar originally wanted Nala as his queen. According to this fan theory, they had a cub who was Vitani, but it's canon that Nala ran away to find help and that's when she found Simba. So Scar gave Vitani to Zira who raised her like her own cub. In the final fight between the Outlanders and the Pridelanders, Vitani says to Nala "Where's your pretty daughter, Nala?" Obviously referring to Kiara but people have theorized she was mentioning herself.

@@IBeMelissa There’s also a theory where Zira adopted Vitani by killing some lion couples named Tama and Tojo. They might be Vitani’s real parents

Or... maybe because if he was scar's son, it would make the two lovers cousins.

That's completely ridiculous. Kovu's father literally doesn't matter. What does matter is who Kovu is *not* the son of - Scar. And there's no way you're convincing me Zira didn't give birth to any of her children. These details should have already been in the movie and show.

@@awkwardcrabwalk4762 That's why they ditched the idea of Scar being Kovu's father.

@@awkwardcrabwalk4762well in MUFASA it was stated/speculated that scar and mufasa weren’t even blood so I’m confused..

What if kovu's parents died at pride Rock when Simba came back to take back his home from scar

Yes

I agree. Nuka has the same traits as Zira and Scar.

kovu says it himself in the movie " scar was not my father, but he was one of us " so idk why everyone makes up theories about scar being his father??

I'm not sure the age adds up for Kovu to be Scar's son. He's Kiara's age and if you take into consideration that Simba and Nala had a different cub at the end of the first movie (I know, I know that's a whole other can of worms but having lost a child would explain why Simba's so overprotective) some time had to have passed. Scar would have been dead well before then

Ah 😂😅

And the outlander nose

@@Nalabear_2020 I also think he got the outlander nose from another family member

@@Nalabear_2020 Scar also has an outlander nose. If you look up pictures of actual lions both noses appear on similar looking lions. It's probably just a thing like fur color but this brings up the question why no one from Pride-Rock had a black nose besides Scar while literally all the outlanders had black noses. But Disney isn't that accurate to how the animals work anyway.

I think so too!

It is not Chumvi and Kula. Kula is not canon, but Chumvi is related to the Night Pride.

Zira said in the movie to Simba "Kovu was the last born before you exiled us to the outlands" Which makes him older than Kiara. Just not by much

@@callanightshade8079 Oo you’re right I remember that now!! hmm

First child, Kopa ain't canon

​@@callanightshade8079 thats if she was being honest.

Lion King and Lion King II were there before Lion Guard. We're talking 1994 and 1998 vs 2015. Disney probably never planned for Lion King being so popular that they would be still making content about it 20 years later. So using Lion Guard context to explain what happened in the films is kinda doomed to fail. Those films were made without Lion Guard in mind so Kiara is in fact Simbas first (and only) child in the movies. Kovu and Kiara also don't need to be the exact same age. Judging how Kovu first appeared in LK2 he was older than Simba in LK because his mane already started growing instead of the little fluff Simba head. If Kiara is the age of Simba in the first movie and Kovu is a bit older it works out. I personally have multiple possible theories. TL:DR: Kovu got either stolen from another pride or adopted by Scar after his parents got killed in some way either unrelated or directly by Scar and his minions. Nuka said "Scar took him in" so this proves that Kovu was born before Scar died. First one is shortly before Simba returned and Scar was ruling Pride-Rock a Lioness (with or without her husband) and her cub travelled through the land and stayed at Pride-Rock for a short time. Why? Because when Scar saw Kovu he instantly saw himself and a worthy successor and being his sneaky self he offered them a place to stay and arranged the death of Kovus mother / parents through the Hyenas so he could adopt Kovu. With Kovu still being basically a baby there would be theoretically enough time for Kiara to grow and only being a few months younger than him. Alternatively the Lioness was still pregnant and gave birth to Kovu at Pride-Rock and when he saw the cub Scar decided to "take him in" while the rest of the theory stays the same. Second theory is the Hyenas killed and ate everything they could get their hands on and stumbled over baby-Kovu and his parents / pride. Scar had already ordered them to bring orphaned cubs to him to be "judged" as food or if they would be joining the pride, ideally as his successor. This could be because Scar realized he was incapable of producing an heir on the level of Mufasa or Simba with Zira and the other Lionesses would reject him so he needed an alternative besides Nuka. Third theory is Scar, Zira and the Hyenas killed Kovus parents when he was a baby to take him in or straight up stole him from another pride roaming the lands for the same reasons described above. Maybe Vitani was stolen from somewhere else as well. This could've been common practice for Scars rule when we theorize he didn't allow any other Lions at all but when he stumbled upon Kovu he saw the solution to all his problems. In all three theories it makes sense that Kovu thought highly of Scar because he treated him well despite not having to do it. Same as he thought highly of Zira for raising him. Also Nuka and Vitani were like his siblings although they weren't. This suggests that Kovu was so young when he lost his parents that the Outlanders are all that he knew. And because of that Simba kicked him out with the others as well because he wasn't "One of us".

Yeah but if you assume Kiara was conceived during the “Can you feel the love tonight” song she was conceived while Scar was still alive, meaning Kovu could have been too.

​@@cathygrandstaff1957 i think its unlikely Kiara was conceived then. Simba still had to travel back to the pridelands, fight scar, and watch the ecosystem bounce back before presenting her as a new born, in front of all the animals that also had to travel back from where they fleed to during Scars reign. Thats a pretty long time. Gestation only runs for a little over 3 months.

Kovu could possibly be a little older than Kiara.

That is exactly why in the movie it is stated by Nuka, that Kovu isn´t Scars son but just adopted, so no one starts to think, Kiara and Kovu are getting in any kind of incestous relatioinship.

But I thought Kiara was Kovu's bride. Who is Aisha? Or are you saying Aisha was King Regandi's bride who joined him in his territory?

Kiara is Kovus

My theory is that Scar and Zira cubed naped Kovu. In the process of stealing Kovu they killed both the parents of Rani

I’m the movie it’s revealed that Scar isn’t Kovus father only from one of Kovus lines He says “Scar wasn’t my father but he was still a part of me”Which is why Scar can’t be Kovus father

He said that "scar took kovu in"

Or at least his parents came from there

Not the only one

I don´t think, that´s a valid argument. My foster child sometimes calls me Mama instead of my first name, and she is 15 years old living for nearly two years with us. Smaller kids tend to call the people around them the way these people are introduced to them. Another example from my family (we live in Germany, just to explain the words I use for this), my grandmother was always called "Uschi" by all of the family except my mother, which called her "Mutsch" another word for mom. Even thought, she was my Grandma, and kids in Germany usually call their grandmother "Oma" and the grandfather "Opa", I never called her that, even once. She was always "Uschi" to me, while my greatgrandmother was always called "Anni-Oma". Taking this example, imagine you take in a baby or toddler and teach it to call you mother, it will do exactly that, no matter, if you are its mother or not. If you give birth to a child and teach it to call you by your first name, it will do so, because that´s what you taught it. Same can be applied to Zira and the fact, that Kovu calls her mother, it is, what she taught him. In conclussion, no matter, how Kovu calls Zira, it is at least no prove for her biological parentship, but just for what she taught him to call her.

Except in movie it's stated he is not Scar's son. You underestimate lengths Disney would went to prevent "Pwease let us think of da children !" from outrage at their movies.

​​@@cracmar03yes "scar is not the father" is the excuse iam speaking about 😂 because disney dident came up with something logical just a lame phrase .. its so obvious that kovu is scar son and kirara and kovu being Cousins a totally normal thing among lions .. its so annoying to make a problem out of it

To be fair Nuka is Scar's son, but in his eyes was wrong and then Vitani came into the picture, but we don't know who her parents are either, unless it is Zira and someone else, maybe also one of Scar's cubs? It could be Vitani came first thinking that Simba's son would be next in line, but then Kiara was born and was next in line, so Zira found Kovu and just says he was Scar's chosen one, since they needed him to get to Simba through Kiara. At least that's what I think happened and also Nuka was too old at that time also to be a good pick as he wouldn't of been able to get into Simba's pride easily since they seem to know who he was.

@@JackalopeBunny I wasn't sure if Nuka was biologically Scar's or not, his attitude does in the movie does make it look like it but I don't remember if it was confirmed or not. In any case though, Scar clearly found Nuka less acceptable than Kovu and by naming Kovu heir that gets around lineage but opens the floor for Nuka to make an attempt to take his position back or else act as we saw him act - extremely resentful and needing prove himself worthier than the adopted child. Half the wars and battles before the Industrial Revolution were started because someone felt they deserved to be the heir of this or that instead of the person actually chosen for the position

@@drakephoenixfeather4056 that's pretty much Nuka he wanted to prove he could do what Kovu was supposed to do, but in the end it just got him killed.

@JackalopeBunny I don't disagree, but his focus was on getting his mother's love and attention by showing he could be better than Kovu, not in showing he'd be better suited to ruling than Kovu. It's slightly different but sends him down a similar path either way

Simba is in line before Scar anyway. Simba was the rightful ruler, Scar was not

it's night now

​@@ItzAlissalol I'm from Baltimore

Still biologically related

So ... they are half related. You realize they have to be biologically related, because their biological mother is same lol. They are just Half-Siblings.

Kovu. For all we know Zira might not be his mother.

Yeah, there's no confusion on the mom, she 100% is Zera (idrk how it's spelled this is just my way who cares), but no one knows who the father is, although it was definitely a lion with similar appearance to scar. Actually, maybe not, because even human DNA isn't that simple, and if we look at Zera, she has the same red eyes as Simba and Mufasa. Perhaps he inherited a similar appearance to Scar because he is technically of his bloodline? It'd be far from out of the question for Zera, a lion of similar age to Simba, to be Mufasa's daughter.

@@jcage1022 Kiara is Simba’s daughter not Zira.

I don’t think it’s Scar

Who is chumvi?

@@danielledewitt1 chumvi is a character in the lion king six new adventures

@@FarmerTrio725 Ah so not canon then.

@@danielledewitt1 yeah pretty much

@@FarmerTrio725 So therefore impossible.

He never did he says:Scar wasn’t his father but he took him in” and Kovu says at a different point in the movie he says”Scar wasn’t my father but he was still a part of me”

@@SilasOsterwalder-yx3tj right but it's never said zira wasn't his mother and that he was an orphan.

This makes more sense as as cubs, thats a little late for Scar to be the father of any of them, including the sister. Vitali, i think?

@@Rhaenarys I have a theory that Vitani is Scar’s granddaughter/ a cub of Scar’s relative. Zira couldn’t have Scar so she targeted someone related to him in hopes to deceive him into believing she’s pregnant with his cubs

You mind if I use this headcanon for a story?
