Mheetu’s Parentage and Where He Went

            Mheetu was a character from the earlier stages of The Lion King (TLK), back when the movie was called King of the Jungle. He’s Nala’s little brother and, though he never made it into the final version of the movie, some people include him in the semi-canon sources. If we include him, it brings up two questions: who is Mheetu’s father and what happened to Mheetu that kept him from appearing in the movie? I’ll be trying to answer these with fan theories. I’ll also be referencing The Lion Guard

(TLG) and the Six New Adventures books.

Nuka’s, Vitani’s, and Kovu’s Parentage

            Nuka, Vitani, and Kovu are the Outlander cubs from Simba’s Pride (SP). Kovu is Scar’s heir but is canonically not Scar’s cub, which begs the question: where did he come from? Nuka’s and Vitani’s parentage are also both hotly contested so I’ll be addressing multiple fan theories about all three of these cubs. I will be working on the assumption that Nuka and Vitani are Zira’s biological cubs, even though this is more of a personal headcanon than an actual canon fact, because Zira doesn’t seem to be the type of lioness who would care for cubs who weren’t hers unless they were special (like Kovu, who was hand-chosen by Scar).
