Theories about Nuka, Vitani and Kovu

[Scars Mate]

Well, I know we've all got our own ideas, if just like to sure mine.

Nuka: is the son o Zira and Scar. Was born very close to the end of scar's reign.

Vitani & Kovu: twins. Children of Zira, but not scar. Scar was going to have Zira mate with another male, because Nuka was horribly skinny, but got got killed, etc. He had already told Zira his plans for getting an heir, therefor she trained Kovu, not Nuka. Conceived around the same time as Kiara, maybe a little before.


I know this is brief, but I'm sort of just skimming the top of it. But those are the main facts.

P.S. post your own!

I personally believe that Nuka is the son of Zira and Scar. Scar saw that Nuka wasn't worthy of being his heir and disowned him. He got rid of Zira as his queen and Nuka as his son. Zira, whom I believe would still be a fanatical fan-girl/follower of Scar. Would take out her anger on Nuka and blame him for everything that's happened. All the while trying to find a way to get her position as queen back and give Scar everything he wants.

Zira then leaves the pridelands for an unknown ammount of time to find a suitable, strong mate. She ends up finding Chumvi and Tojo who hang out right outside the borders. ( I think they would be kicked out as young cubs because they're technically a future threat to the throne. ) She seduces Tojo and concieves Vitani with him, she leaves him behind and heads back to the pridelands. After a few months she gives birth to a girl and starts training her to be strong and tactical in hopes of impressing Scar.

Meanwhile, Chumvi, his mate ( an outsider from Zira's pride ), and baby Kovu ( newborn ) are sneaking around one day to meet each other. When the hyenas patrolling the borders take notice of them and attack. They kill Chumvi, and kill the outsider as well. But before they kill Kovu, Scar hears the commotion and goes to see what is happening. Since he's an oppurtunist, he takes Kovu in as his son and gives him to Zira ( the only mother at the moment with cub ). I personally think Scar wouldn't be disappointed with Vitani but I don't think he would accept her as his heir because she's a female. Nuka is to weak and Kovu is exactly what he needs. ( Kovu is about a month younger than Vitani by the way )

I think the outsiders were a foreign pride from another land that went through some kind drought/fire/whatever and found themselves in the pridelands. I think they came to the pridelands a few weeks before Scars plan to kill Mufasa.

But this is just my self-canon. I can go into far more detail but I don't feel like typing up a lecture.

I know it has been denied officially that Nuka is Scar`s son, but here are my theories.

I do quite like the idea of Nuka being the only cub of Scar, because he fails so bad. It would also explain some of the resentment Nuka has for his younger brother. My theory is that although Nuka was born to Scar and Zira (assuming for a moment that Scar mated with several lionesses in the pride in order to secure his genes and produce heirs.. NO, that does not include Nala..) Scar chose a different cub to follow in his pawprints - Kovu. We`re talking theories here, but Kovu is not Scar`s on. Maybe Scar thought he saw something in Kovu that Nuka was lacking, maybe he thought Kovu looked like he`d grow up to be a strong, cruel leader? Zira does mention that Scar handpicked him to be his succsessor.

Another of my theories: Vitani and Kovu are littermates, but their father(s) is a rogue, none of them are Scar`s cubs.

So my THEORY is that Nuka, Vitani and Kovu are all Ziras, but only Nuka is the lovechild (if you can call it that) of Scar and Zira.

About Scar and Zira:

Do I believe Scar loved Zira? No, I do not.
Do I believe Zira loved Scar? In some kind of twisted way, yeah.. Though I do feel it was more admiration and obsession rather than love, I don`t feel like she had a "crush" on him, more that she looked up to him as her king and leader, and that she admired him and wanted to be by his side because that would gain her a high position in the pride. I think Zira wanted power and control more than anything else, and that was more important to her than love.

In my theories, Scar is the Dark Lord of of Mordor, and Simba the king of Gondor.

I believe Kovu is Zira's son, but not Scar's. Perhaps you are correct in your view.
