Kion loses to Makucha in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe and because of this Makucha and the others get to eat all the animals at the Tree? And then Kion loses his Roar for failing to protect innocents and goes into exile as a failure, and the show ends here, with that as the reason for Kion and the rest of the Guard's absense in TLK.
Thoughts?
