My Lion King Forum

As the title suggests I would like to know which lioness you think is the best fighter.This is canon characters I will do semi-canon later!!!
Choices:
Sarabi
Zira
Nala
Vitani
Kiara

I personally think Vitani would be the best fighter, she intelligent, strong, devoted, and she trains! Closely followed by Nala then Zira. Despite Zira's crazed obsession for war and fights she probably wouldn't be as smart as Vitani or Nala would be in a fight. She would be all about attack rather than mental and physical strength. Vitani is very smart and strong, same with Nala.

Tough one. I'm between Zira and Nala myself, as they were both excellent fighters in them movies. Nala is more witty, but Zira has more brute strength. As for Vitani, I dunno... we didn't get to see her enough in SP, so I can't tell. She did knock out Kovu in the ambush, though, so I assume she's really strong, too.

I'm going to go with Nala and even Sarabi. Zira might be tough, but she is mentally unstable. Ask anyone who knows a thing or two about fighting, and they will tell you that a clear mind is clear. It's not all about how much damage you can dish out.

As they say: Knowledge is half the battle. If all you know about your opponent is 'KILL HIM!!!!!' as Zira does, you're going to lose. And guess who lost...

^agrees with both comments above^
Zira wouldn't have the clear mind would she...no and she also doesn't seem super smart, intelligent enough but not as much as the others. That is why I think Vitani and Nala would make the better fighters!

Vitani and Nala, going off of canon fights, are my top choices. Both of them are level-headed when they need it most, as well as physically powerful. Zira could potentially be the strongest, were she more mentally stable. But it doesn't take much to provoke her, either.

My Thoughts:
Sarabi - She seems to be more of a lover than a fighter, which works fine since Simba needs a good mother. Plus she has an unfair age advantage, as she is older than the rest of them.
Zira - One tough cookie. She talks a mean talk and probably would be able to follow through. However she fights dirty, giving her opponents an unfair disadvantage.
Nala - The perfect combination of a sassy female and tomboyish fighter: The Ultimate Disney Princess! She truly does laugh in the face of danger.
Vitani - Tough and mean, but probably has a sweet layer beneath her rugged persona. Zira would have trained her well, but not well enough to beat her mother.
Kiara - She couldn't win a fight with a wounded butterfly. However, don't think she is all bad. In terms of compassion, she rival all of these ladies.

The Final Score:
5. Kiara
4. Sarabi
3. Vitani
2. Zira
1. Nala <<<WINNER!

It's a tough call, but Zira's blind hatred is not enough to match the awesome survival skills that Nala accumulated during her time with Scar.

I'm going to say Zira, she's the most determinate lioness in the movies imo, actually being the only one who rejected to switch to Simba's side and untill the last chance she tried to attack, preferred to die before betray herself.

I agree completely with this statement. Although, I think Nala outshines Vitani slightly. Seeing as what she had to go through as well, thinking that Simba was dead and now suddenly he's back and she's willing to fight for him. Personally, I just love Nala x) I see why Simba loves her so much ahaha.

Zira - I think she`s a pretty darn good fighter. Afterall, she was the one who trained Vitani and the other Outlander lionesses. You can`t teach someone a skill if you don`t yourself posess sufficient knowledge and talent. Just saying.. Still, I don`t think she is the very best fighter amongst the lionesses.

Vitani - Seems a very skilled fighter, thanks to her mothers training. I think she`s able to keep her head cool in battle, an ability I think Zira is lacking..

Nala - Definitly a tough opponent in battle, she even has her own signature move.

Sarabi - I can see hunting being her strength, more than fighting.

Kiara - ..has a lot to learn. *shrug* I love her and all, but I can`t picture her beating any of the other lionesses in a fight. She did manage to defend Simba against Zira, but there wasn`t a lot of fighting involved really, she just knocked Zira off balance and they both took a tumble off the cliff.

So to break it down in a list, best to worst fighter in my opinion:

1. Vitani (I honestly believe she would best her mother in a fight)
2. Nala
3. Zira (I put her below Nala because I think Nala is stronger and knows more clever moves, I think Zira would be blinded by rage and just attack blindly in a fight instead of being more tactical, etc)
4. Sarabi
5. Kiara (maybe Nala can give her a few pointers?)
