You know, I was thinking if (more about 'when') they're going to give us some explanation why Kion was absent in TLK2. Of course, some of you'll say that TLK2 was made 17 years earlier and at that time no one would thought of producing such TV series and today TLG is some kind of non-canon "spin-off" (and so all events and characters in TLG don't have any straight connection with events presented in TLK2).

Considering that evil ghost of Scar has returned in TLG, obviously to take revenge on Simba and his family, I think the best (or maybe most rational) way of explaining the fact that Kiara doesn't have a brother in TLK2 would be Kion's death in the volcano as a result of fight with Scar and hyenas. I know it would be very cruel and heartbreaking, but I don't see any other ways to explain this. Even the fact that in TLK2 such team called the lion guard has never been mentioned makes this scenario most likely to happen.
