Simba/Relationships

Kion
Simba has a good and loving father-son relationship with his son, Kion. In "The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar", Simba becomes annoyed with Kion when he and Bunga unintentionally disrupt his lecture with Kiara and ends up having to separate his two children when they argue. When Rafiki declares that Kion is ready to lead the Lion Guard, Simba is at first worried about this, thinking that due to Kion being a cub, he is not ready. But changes his mind when Nala encourages him to listen to Rafiki. After seeing that Kion has chosen Bunga, Beshte, Fuli and Ono to be part of The Lion Guard, Simba wass not pleased. He tells his son that the Lion Guard has always been made up of lions and scolds Kion for treating his role of leader as a game and tells him to take his responsibilities seriously like Kiara does with hers, however in truth, he is taking his duties as the leader of the Lion Guard very seriously.

However after Kion and the Lion Guard save Kiara from a gazelle stampede and chase away Janja and his clan, Simba realizes that Kion was wise to have chosen who he chose and expresses pride in his son and accepts the new Lion Guard. Ever since then, Simba has helped Kion defend the Pride Lands, as seen when he helped Kion defeat Reirei and her jackal family, and, he even become leader of the guard temporarily while Kion was away.

Bunga
Simba often found Bunga annoying at times due to his impulsive nature, and often disrespectful attitude. But has some respect for him seeing Bunga is his son Kion's best friend. The two start to get along after they find out that they were both raised by Timon and Pumbaa. Though in Simba's case Bunga can be the annoying little brother at times.

Scar
While Scar is Simba's uncle. As a cub, Simba loved his uncle,but Scar never felt the same way due to his jealousy of his nephew's royalty status as next in line for the throne. After Scar murdered Mufasa and took over, Simba ran away in fear believing it was his fualt, only to return years later as a young adult and helped by his new friends in Timon and Pumbaa. Simba and Scar then fought each over for the title of King of the Pride Lands with Simba ultimately emerging victorious, successfully reclaiming his birthright as King of the Pride lands in the process.

Ever since his return thanks to Ushari and Janja and his clan, Scar now seeks revenge against Simba for his defeat and also wants to retake the Pride Lands from him. So far since his return, Scar has currently made two attempts on Simba's life.
