Episode 8 - The Search For Utamu

Episode 8 - The Search For Utamu

Postby JackStover » February 26th, 2016, 4:02 pm

After all of that time trying to figure out what happened with "Fuli Speeds Ahead", it turns out, the episode was simply renamed. It continues my suspicion that Disney is convinced that boys don't like Fuli, as not only did they rename the episode, they didn't even bother showing her in the preview. Bunga's part of the plot was important, and one could argue it was the real "A" plot because the episode ended on it, but Fuli's plot shouldn't have been brushed under the rug like it was.

Have a super fatigued Fuli image to celebrate the end of this mystery.

Are you sure it was just renamed? Because I seem to remember "the search for utamu" being the name of one of the episodes before, and they just switched the order. on the lion guard wiki, it says that fuli speeds ahead will premier april 1st. and the description of it is "Fuli's confidence is damaged when her speed backfires on her, making her a target of manipulation for Janja." http://lionguard.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_List
I was disappointed with the marketing of this episode too, but we still may get Fuli Speeds Ahead

edit: it seems like when you click on fuli speeds ahead it redirects the the search for utamu. I was probably wrong, then

The plot for Fuli Speeds Ahead was about her overexerting herself while fighting vultures, which happened in this episode. That's what all of the TV Guides said, at least.

Yeah. I don't know what the lion guard wiki is taking about with Janja. I'm pretty sure it is fan run though so it's probably just a mistake

Interesting. So who/what exactly is Utamu? I can't seem to find the episode online just yet.

That was an earlier description found on some TV guides if I'm not mistaken. I've updated it now though.

Utamu is a very tasty bug that Bunga wants to find for Timon & Pumbaa. Or something like that.

I'm hoping I can find a screencap of the new cat (yes, already forgot the name :lol: ), since it's part of the Lynx family it's a perfect avatar! :)
