This was a brilliant episode. Right off the bat, Kenge is a bloody good villain. He is quite genuinely intimidating and scary. A bit psychotic too, which is a step up from most of the comedy villains from previous episodes. Freakiest part was him oppenly saying that he was going to straight up kill (eat) Bunga. Very well performed in terms of voice acting and I deffo don't think we've seen the last of him...

Good to see Makini again, good to see her stepping up to help others without Raffiki's help. And once again, she lost ANOTHER staff, and she seems to be aware of it. Liked the funny moment with Makini and her flower crowns for the fallen members of the guard and Fuli sneezing haha.

Bunga was brilliant in this episode. Brave beyond any doubt. Interesting seeing him use his scent in defence like a real honey badger as opposed to being "the last resort option" as he usually does. And I think you'll agree, in this case, there was no one more deserving than Kenge. Another cool moment was seeing him save Ono from Kenge's bite. Also liked the little callback to "Zuka Zama".

The song was good too and very catchy. Always like a good villain song. Ushari singing it too was pretty cool.

My only critique is that, how did Kenge know he had to look for the guard? I assumed Janja was going to talk to him about it, but instead he seemed to just know thats what they were there for. Little weird.

Overall, great episode, and I can't wait for "Timon and Pumbaa's Christmas".

On a side note: after the opening credits, when Kion said the episode title, did any of you notice Kion's voice is deeper? Wonder how many episodes it will be before that kicks in...
