And there's another source saying that Kion uses the roar in anger when Kiara's in danger (although it doesn't mention this special specifically). If it turns out to be true, I really would love some sort of reason for Ushari's sudden turnaround.

What if Ushari helps Kiara out in some way, but Kion sees her looking distraught and immediately assumes the worst, and uses the roar before Kiara knows what's happening? Or similarly, Ushari turns up after Kiara hurts herself and Kion reaches the same conclusion? That would explain why Kion needs to speak to Mufasa about making such an awful mistake.

This is also what leads Ushari to attack the Pride Landers. In fact, take a peek at the video again - when Ushari is in the lair, Kion is absent, so if he did wrong Ushari, he doesn't get a chance to say sorry.

It's probably a HUGE long shot for it to work out like that, but I just can't bare the thought of the one truly neutral* character we've had through the series turning evil for no reason other than a plotline.

* Makuu doesn't count, he's only JUST turned neutral. That makes a lot of sense.
