Awww, this episode was so adorable! <3
I must say that I love Fuli more than I ever did, ever. Because I never related to any character that much in the past. I get why she got so annoyed when interrupted doing what she usually does, and particularly enjoys. Generally, I never got the point of "Never let your friend be by themselves" because honestly - every normal introvert needs their alone-time. And there's nothing wrong with that, especially if that person is used to being alone. Being alone doesn't necessarily mean being lonely, it's the best way to be free. But not all the time. It's amazing how she's always there to save Bunga as well, despite the fact that she was kind of hurt at the very moment. She showed that she was brave enough, but also a devoted friend, even though she doesn't show it in a "normal" way usually. I also hate when someone touches my hair XD , I can imagine how she must have felt being touched randomly and just told how "soft" her skin is -.- . But in the end, when she was asked to be alone when others were to gather, she showed her other side, the one that cares for her friends and actually wants to be with them, but not all the time.
It was great that we were able to see more of that friendship between TLG members, because, honestly, that wasn't shown that much earlier. We were constantly told that they were more of friends than any former Lion Guard, but, usually they seemed like being just cooperative co-workers. This time, it was different. We saw the whole Guard concerned over Fuli's well-being, Fuli watching over Bunga in his stupidity, Kion, Beshte and Ono saving Fuli and Bunga from the lava, and, in the end, the hug. It was all filled with emotion, and finally we could really feel that there really was a special bond between them.
Bunga... He was the only character whose story actually annoyed me in this episode. And since it's a pretty important sub-plot, there's no way I can skip it. He was pretty stupid and definitely careless to assume that just the fact that he's immune to snake's poison automatically means that he's immune to anything, including being eaten. I would have understood if he thought that he was immune to any poison though, cause that would make sense. This way, it was just sad to watch him, and honestly, I was scared for him. I mean, I knew that nothing would happen to him, since it's a Jr. Disney cartoon, and he's one of its main protagonists, but still, I was anxious. I'm glad he turned out OK.
Alright, am I the only one who's still bothered by Kiara's amazing hunting skills? She's apparently younger than she was in the Simba's Pride, and still, she's a much better hunter. Oh, well. Tiifu and Zuri just bothered me again, Tiifu a bit less. Zuri - I want to punch in the face.
