I don't consider this show canon. Not just because Kion was never mentioned in the original movie. Think about this for example: when Kion first met Zira and her family, he was completely unaware of who she was and the fact that she has been banished from the Pride Lands before. As we also know, at that time Kovu was already familiar with Kiara and got excited when Kion mentioned that he could come and see her again.

But if you recall part of TLK2 when Kiara was a little cub, Simba has been warning her not to go to the Outlands many times. Now tell me, if Simba was so afraid of his daughter, then why wouldn't he warn his son from the Outsiders? In TLG Simba apparently never told Kion about them.

I think real Simba would never allow his son to even get close to the Outlands border, considering his overprotectiveness towards Kiara.
