Pilot (20??)[]
A few weeks after the events of the latest episode of The Lion Guard, Jasiri and his clan rule the now pacified Outlands, which faces almost no great danger and is now no longer ignored by the Pride Lands. But there are still cunning and mischievous animals that dare to momentarily break this peace, among them Mpishi, a harrier hawk who appeared in an episode of the Lion Guard (Ono and the Egg) and lives trying to capture innocent prey incapable of defending themselves from her and her sharp claws, once Ono and the rest of the lion guard would never be able to defend them again according to her thinking, but this proves to be untrue since in the absence of the egret there's still the African hawk-eagle Hadithi, who keeps pissing Mpishi off because she can never beat him. Along with Mpishi, there is Shupavu's Group, led by the female skink that gives the group its name, they are a group of renegades from the Outlands who were Ushari's friends and allies of Scar, they have been plotting for some time a way to bring the Egyptian snake back, basing their plan on the way Scar was brought, but they don't know how to do it or who to ask for help, but everything is made clear to them when one of the group members infiltrates Rafiki's tree while he makes his predictions, and discovers that to bring Ushari back it is necessary an Egyptian snake skin and the poisonous liquid that it releases when biting someone placed in something that cannot leak, and then putting both on a stick, thus forming a kind of staff, which invokes the so-called Cobra Spirit, an evil being that takes the form of the one whose invoker calls its name, and for that they ask for the help of Mpishi, who gets both, but in return asks them to let her invoke such a spirit, inwhich she doesn't believe until then, but while searching for the two necessary objects, she gets into several troubles with the hyenas and the other outlanders, who chase her off both times, at the end of the episode, Zazu inadvertently enters. in the dark land and, exactly, in the grotto where Mpishi and Shupavu, along with Kenge and Sumu, bring back Ushari in his Cobra Spirit form, this being much more evil than Scar's spirit.
1st Season[]
After the discovery, Zazu alerts Jasiri about Ushari's return, she at first says that he is crazy or that he's been "dreaming too much", but at the same time repeating what happened several times and saying about the ritual done to bring him back, Jasiri begins to feel the strange sensation that Hornbill is telling the truth. At night while the others sleep, Jasiri stays awake in front of the lake where the animals from outlands drink water reflecting on the feeling she had during the morning, when suddenly a small stone is thrown towards the river scaring the hyena, in a position of fight the same looks back and sees one of the hyenas of the clan, which is none other than Janja, who woke up thirsty and went to the lake to drink some water, he then, seeing Jasiri, sits next to her and questions her presence in the place at that time, warning of the danger that some invader could easily take advantage of the defenseless position she was in, Jasiri disguises and leaves the male without an answer and tells him that he will stay there, he then offers himself to keep company, both sleep on site.
Jasiri then becomes obsessed to know if what Zazu said is true, and to confirm this, he sends Mzingo and Mwoga to investigate the cave with the help of Zazu, they also witness this fact and hear Ushari talking about his plan, discovering that the plan is he tries to possess Janja, named Traitor Maximus, and says that if he manages to possess the hyena and was repelled, he would take Janja's own soul with him and thus kill him. After this is told to Jasiri, she goes into a state of deep despair and worry to see that Ushari has returned without any sort of sanity boundary, she then gathers all the leaders and their groups without Janja knowing, and makes the rule clear to all: get Janja as far away from Ushari and his corps as possible. Meanwhile in the Pride Lands, the Kupatana party is being celebrated, Jasiri is invited to participate in the party, and is secretly followed by Mpishi, who seeks to inform Ushari about Jasiri's allies, so that he can devise a strategy to delay the allies of the hyena to not have any more problems, she is shocked that although Kion has left, it does not mean that the Lion Guard is over, and seeing Vitani and her Lion Guard, she returns at a frightening speed to tell her master about the new Lion Guard, this then makes Ushari have to rethink his strategy for a while longer, as his previous strategy mentioned nothing about the Lion Guard, as since Kion's absence he thought it had been extinct.
In the Back Lands, Dhahabu and his herd are the ones who practically rule the place, without any kind of opposition, as he is a wise and benevolent zebra, but its inhabitants suffer from the frequent ones of Mapigano, which can only be stopped by another leopard. who was taught by Kion and his Lion Guard to have the courage to face him: Badili, an inhabitant who, in addition to being considered a hero, is greatly admired by Dhahabu, Mapigano becomes a "scaredy cat" when he sees the leopard as a day scared and mocked, which is the fact that revolts him the most. Badili is a friendly and peaceful leopard that lives in his tree watching the place or taking a nap, but it must not be forgotten that when he is affronted or sees a defenseless being being bullied, he becomes a dangerous "protector of the unprotected", as this makes him remember the past, where he was just a fearful feline, in some episodes more focused on him, it is seen that these memories leave him with a very unstable temperament, sometimes crying, sometimes being perplexed, and in extreme cases, he becomes he becomes an aggressive and frightening butcher, almost as if a demon has tamed his body (no wonder he stars in one of the scariest/violent scenes in the series).
Jasiri, knows that Ushari is looking to attack the outlands, and tells this to Simba with Zazu's confirmation in search of help, Nala then listens to the conversation and offers to command when necessary the lionesses for a reversal against Ushari, this displeases Simba to beginning, but after Nala shows her leadership power in the midst of adversity in "What Does a Queen Do?" (S1-E26), Simba decides to allow her to command, so in the episode "The Surprise Attack" (S1-E32), Nala teaches a lesson on how to command an army to those present, who did not believe that a member of royalty who once had such a sweet voice and a way of being so delicate to become a person with a deep voice and a way of being so masculine.
Wema and Tunu, the two baby hyenas that appeared a few times in The Lion Guard, return in a secondary plot of the series, where they begin to face the period of their growth phase, with their hormones in full bloom and sensations never felt before, along with to them, others who star in this secondary plot are Dogo and Kijana, the jackals children of Reirei and Goigoi also face and share their experience with hyenas. This plot generated, at first, some discomfort on the part of some families, whether for traditional or religious reasons, who feared that the series would end up showing things of an uncomfortable nature to their children about puberty, Disney then committed not to fully address the topic "Puberty" and using more metaphorical language in the plots linked to Tunu, Wema, Dogo and Kijana.
