Canon scar getting his... scar

I think this new lion is Nala's father.

Stupidest theory i’ve heard

That seems a bit harsh. Besides, what if the show proves them right?

we aleready saw nala's father as a painting, it does not looks like that at all, and it doesn't makes sense that he is evil

I agree, Nala has zero outlander traits and this lion looks more related to Zira, but I keep an open mind till I see the show. Maybe we will see more of Scar and "evil random lion" then..

[SimbasGuard]

While I very much doubt that The Unknown Lion is Nala's Father. (Sarafina would be considerably younger than him, a Young Teen to his Adult). I wonder if we might see Nala's Father in this episode?

So...

Spoiler: show

there's no explanation of who this mystery lion was, which may or may not be explained down the road.

"Battle for the Pridelands" simultaneously had so many final episode-type callbacks while also planting plenty of seeds for future explanation and plot threads for the rest of the season that I'm actually starting to trust that the writers knew what they were doing when they penned this, so we'll see if this is something they come back to.

I can't help but find myself replaying "When I Led the Guard", because it's actually a good musical number in that there's so much that you have to read into there in order to flesh out Scar's telling of his descent into madness.

Spoiler: show

(And again, will probably be further explained through Kion's new journey in this season.)

There's also a really nice visual moment that I won't spoil.

How have you seen the episode already? Disney doesn't even air it for a couple more hours yet.

What is that visual cue I have already watched it so could you pm what it is to me, I would like to watch it again with that cue in mind.

I can't access my pms on here, but it's the bit where the show

Spoiler: show

fades to black on Scar's face so that you just see how eyes and scar.

I don't think it has much story significance in itself, I just thought it was a cool visual.

Netlify (the link is posted in one of the above comments) posts episodes early in the morning before episodes air on TV.

I don't think The Unknown Lion taking Scar to the same place Zira took Kion in "Lions of the Outlands" is just a coincidence. I think more will be explains some how, if only through a callback or passing reference.

Spoiler: show

Scar is just Scar's nickname. another 1/2 question answered.
