This is Why Kopa was REALLY This Cub at the end of the Mufasa film #mufasa #lionking #simba #lionguard At the surprising end of Mufasa: The Lion King, we witness a moment that surprised every long-time fan — young Kiara, still just a cub, meets her brand-new baby brother, the son of Simba and Nala. A sweet, heartwarming scene — but also a deeply puzzling one. Because if you remember The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride, Kiara was portrayed as an only child. She had no brothers. So... who is this mysterious cub now shown alongside her? Disney hasn’t told us his name. He wasn’t part of Kiara’s life in the sequel. So what’s going on here? Could this cub simply be a new addition for the live-action timeline? Or is he secretly a character we’ve seen before — perhaps Kion from The Lion Guard? Or even Kopa, the long-lost son of Simba known only from Disney’s books? This mystery goes deeper than it seems. Why would Disney introduce a new cub now, unless it connects to something bigger — something hidden in the extended universe of The Lion King? That’s exactly what we’re going to explore in today’s theory. By looking at The Lion King 2, The Lion Guard, and even the forgotten books like The Six New Adventures, we’ll investigate just who this cub really is — and what his presence means for the Lion King timeline as a whole.
