My headcanon is that they did like each other initially, but they each found someone they loved even more.

If the Kion x Fuli ship had sailed, however, I'd imagine there'd be deeper hints of love throughout the first half of S3, and the Kion x Rani segments in the second half would be replaced with Kion x Fuli segments (including Of the Same Pride, which would have vastly different lyrics and overall meaning). Teen love has always been withing Disney teritory.

I agree that that Fuli and Kion seemed to be growing closer durring the journey, but I thought it was starting to look to obvious. That is why I still think it was a red herring. Think about what problem the creator would do just as well with Fuli and Azaad as with Kion and Rani when they had a great opportunity in the last episode Bunga and Binga had a closer relationship than Fuli and Azaad, it is not surprising that they took care of Bunga  relationship and did not care for Fuli relationship with Azaad because Fuli character is more important but it looks in such a way that Kion could give Fuli leadership along with Fuli roar and the rest of Kion friends so they could leave for Pride Lands and still be a lion guard just without Kion
