So, after watching thru to 'Mama Binturong', I'm convinced that a KionxFuli romance is the most likely romance we will see going forward. With Ford Riley seemingly confirming that Janja has feelings for Jasiri, and with them joining their clans together, I don't think a KionxJasiri romance will pan out, especially not in this show, since we probably won't be seeing Jasiri again.

The other possibility people have obviously put forth is a KionxRani pairing. I don't think we'll be seeing thus either. Even though we are only a third of the way through the final season, and we still haven't been introduced to Rani, I doubt this pairing will happen. Presumably, Kion and The Guard return to the Pride Lands after the events of TLK2. Rani, from what we know, is the leader of the Night Pride, which I'm guessing (and from what we saw in the trailer) is a pride of lions that lives at the Tree of Life and presumably has dedicated itself to protecting it and the animals who come there. So, while I think we may see some sort of crush between Kion and Rani, I imagine they'll have to part ways before long anyway.

That leaves a KionxFuli pairing as the most likely. She's the only one who will be traveling with Kion this whole journey, and the only one who will be returning with him and the Guard to the Pride Lands. We've seen this season focus on Fuli to a significant degree (even more than it focuses on Kion). We are seeing her interactions with Kion becoming more constant. She seems to be, by far, the most concerned with Kion, almost doting on him. She seems to much prefer to stay at his side, even when he's feeling fine.

And, of course, there is the look she had at the end of 'Battle of the Pridelands'. When they were leaving the Pridelands, she came up alongside him, and when he smiled at her, she looked away and down with an interesting look on her face. I could be reading too much into that, but I think it's foreshadowing something that will happen in the future. If not in this series, than in a later Lion King show or movie.
