[quote="ScarLoyal"]But that STILL doesn't mean that Zira not at all related to Simba, it's mostly about Zira's relation to Scar and therefore being his aunt by marriage, BUT i believe that to be wrong and therefore 'possibly' simba's aunt by blood. It couldn't be THAT bad could it? But of course we'll have to see.[/quote]
I'm not saying it's bad, but the director of
Simba's Pride confirmed Zira is not Scar's mate, but merely Scar's follower. So your theory about Zira being Simba's aunt by marriage to Scar is not inconsistent with the director's vision therefore not consistent with the movies. In the movie, Zira never mentions she is related to Sarabi. So, in the end, you can keep your theories however you like, but I fail to see how Kion's ear rims validates your theory that Zira and Sarabi are sisters.
[quote="ScarLoyal"][quote="TheLionPrince"]No, it doesn't. Ear rims seem to be natural for male lion cubs to have, and adult Sarabi and Vitani seem to have them, but that doesn't mean they are related.[/quote]
But the point is, Kion is THE son of Simba and while obviously he'll inherit his grandmother's traits and grandfather's, BUT to inherit Zira's ear-strips that EVEN Vitani or Nuka never had, seems a little fishy to me..
Besides, Disney might retcon it and change the relations, I mean maybe I DON'T know, but you can't possibly know either.

Vitani, by the time she is an adult, actually has ear rims:
To conclude all of this, you're right that Kion is carrying on the ear rim traits that Simba had and received from his parents, but bringing Zira into the fold is a bit of stretch given she is not genetically related to them from what's told to us by the movies and their filmmakers.
