Well, to me anyway, the characters are very similar. My idea is this: midway through the story, Rafiki summons Kopa and/or Vitani (whatever we want) to a hilltop and begins to give them final words of wisdom. Following that, he gives his staff to an apprentice that he has been training and vanishes in a cloud of the plant stuff that let him know that Simba was alive.
