I would hardly call this show 'violent'. Kion's superficial scar is actually the most grevious injury we've seen on this show. Usually, they all just run around and tackle each other. And Ushari's death wasn't even shown, technically. It was also the softest TV or movie death I have ever seen. I would not call burning to death a soft death. It is incredibly painful. If a character burns to death in any media, it is dark, the fact this happens in a Disney Junior show is dark as well. And also the fact there is a consistent amount of violence in a Disney Junior show is pretty extraordinary. If a character burns to death, they always get covered by something or the camera pans away. Ushari got covered by the steam, but you still heard him crash into the lava. Just because a death is not shown, does not mean it is not soft. So the Lion Guard really is pretty violent.
