I think as a grown up lion Kion would still be best friends with Jasiri and her clan members. In my opinion he most likely must/can/will avoid to do bad things, because he has a great sense of justice and cares deeply for other animals, even putting their needs and wishes above his own needs to guarantee that the Pridelanders and Outlanders are happier and can live better than before. Come to think of it, being son of Simba, who always had the problem to prejudicise someone before actually knowing him or her I think that Kion would bring about a great, good change regarding that matter. You know that yearlong feuds between the Pridelanders and Outlanders broke apart Simba's Pride when his father become king of the Pridelands. But with the help of his bigger sister Kiara, (I'm more than certain Kiara told his little brother all about her secret, which is her big crush on the Outlander lioncub named Kovu. I mean seriously there just has to be a reason why he spared only Kovu with his Roar of the Elders in the episode Lions of the Outlands! '''I guess this is because he recognised quickly that in this moment when Kovu blabbered out "Back to the Pridelands? That means I could see Kiara again!" that he was the lion she has told him so much about with whom she is, even though it is as Kion unfortunately finds out in time to come strictly forbidden, in love since they first met as little cubs. My next guess would be that when he met Kovu in person and tried to judge him on his own without listening to how other animals feel about him that his "enemy" holds no grudge against him. Kovu is only afraid that Kion could hurt him and prevent Kovu from seeing Kiara again, as it is his duty to protect his sister. He never would deliberately hurt a friend or very close person to his sister Kiara, when knowing that she cares deeply about him, which is definitely the case for Kovu'''

His next move would be to bring peace to the battling and hating two lion prides, which were actually one single, big pride before the banishment broke everything apart. (We are one = Sisi ni sawa). So harmony for the community is one of Kion's greater goals as an adult lion guard.

He knows that he can only achieve this task when trying out new things, that his father Simba never considered to do e.g. inviting new visitors to stay in the Pridelands, forming and matchmaking new friendships and maybe even loving couples of all the animals living in Kiara's future kingdom.

Seen like this Kion would interact with her, support her decisions, try to point out certain risks or problems that the future Queen Kiara didn't think about and always protect his sister from any danger, no matter if it's of the visible or invisible kind of way.

After the Pridelanders have begun to warm up to new animals as guests in the kingdom he would make the suggestion to those new animals (not just all of them lions but many diiferent species) to start slowly to form a new guard to protect the Pride Lands, lending advice, help and wisdom when needed in doing so.

Kion is likely to teach the habitants of his homeland a much needed lesson about tolerance, acceptance and colaboration. That will make it possible for future generations to live more happily, because everyone respects and accepts one another. So he would as a adult lion try to keep up the legacy of his father Simba and in doing so also expand and change some of the rules for the community while living together. Of course if greater problems arise Kion always would try to think things through first and encourage others to never give up hope and work together instead of battling and hating.

After having finally played his part in being the royal lion guard of his sister, the future Queen Kiara he would build up his own life, spend lots of time with his closest friends like Bunga, Beshte, Ono, Fuli and also travel beyond the Pridelands in search of finding a mate to fall in love and have his own children with to pass on all of his life experience, that makes up the Circle of Life towards his own children.

Perhaps he will even start to have a crush on Tiifu or Rani and find his romance and happily ever after with one of the two lionesses. But as time goes by (regarding the fact that 2 year old real life male lions leave their home to find a Pride to take over and rule this Pride as the new King, or rather let be ruled by the lead hunter lioness, that ends up as his Queen and he has cubs with) it is pretty obvious for Kion that he will follow that path like many adolescent male lions that came before him. Of course he would still take time to travel back home to pay his parents, friends and sister frequently visits as well.

So in general he will become a mixture of both lion kings (His uncle Scar and his father Simba) the characteristics of a just, wise, rational, tolerant, warm-hearted, loved and caring leader of a Pride of his own, which will be a part of Rani's former Night Pride.

But hey, guys. You all know this is just purely speculation and nothing that will or won't come to pass when Kion is an adult lion. Nevertheless it is always fun to contemplate, analyse and then think things through of what would most likely happen to our beloved hero, the lion guard leader Kiongozi, son of Simba.
