Janja/Relationships

Cheezi And Chungu
Cheezi and Chungu are possibly Janja's closest friends as he both appears with and relies on the pair more than any others of his clan, though Janja continuously calls the two "fur brains" for their stupidity and can get furious with them when his plans get messed up, sometimes due to their incompetence. In Janja's New Crew, having enough of their screw ups, he exiles them from his clan. But after Nne and Tano betray him, he welcomes them back into the clan.

Nne
In Janja's New Crew Janja, tired of Cheezi and Chungu's idiocy, "Fires' them and replaces them with Nne and his comrade Tano. However the two Hyenas betray their leader and leave him on a cliffs edge to chase some oryxes, only to be repelled by The Lion Guard.

Since then, Janja seems to have forgotten about the ordeal and still keeps the two in his clan.

Tano
In Janja's New Crew Janja, tired of Cheezi and Chungu's idiocy, "Fires' them and replaces them with Nne and his comrade Tano. However, the two Hyenas betray their leader and leave him on a cliffs edge to chase some oryxes, only to be repelled by The Lion Guard.

Since Scar has returned, Ushari has since lost all fear of Janja and has shown mild aggression towards his failures and shortcomings. Ushari often finds himself explaining plans to Janja.

Kiburi
After his attempt to kill Simba fails, Kiburi is exiled and later meets Janja and the others in the volcano who “welcomes” him to his new home.

Reirei
Reirei has been an ally of Janja ever since she and her pack have joined Scar's Army in Divide and Conquer. They occasionally argue among one another as seen when they fight over which group is smarter, who should get rid of Rafiki, and who should control Kilio Valley.

Kion
Kion is Janja's arch enemy. Initially, Janja had very little fear of the cub, even going so far as to warn him and his friends to leave before they got hurt in "The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar". But many encounters with the Roar of the Elders has only caused Janja to detest Kion more than ever, with many of his fantasies involving him defeating Kion with little effort. It is almost a given that any encounter Janja has with Kion will result in an affray.

Bunga
Bunga is one of Janja's arch enemies as he and his clan have antagonized him and the rest of the Lion Guard most frequently. When he goes into the Outlands in The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar, Janja orders Cheezi and Chungu to bring the honey badger to him for lunch. He later tried to eat him again in Fuli's New Family when he entered in the Outlands alone for a second time., only for Bungu not to take him seriously.

Ono
Janja and Ono are archenemies as he and his clan have antagonized him and the rest of the Lion Guard more often than any other villain in the show. In Ono's Idol, the young egret creates his own spin that stops him, Cheezi, and Chungu from having a meal out of klipspringers. Hadtihi knocked the hyenas into the river afterwards. In Eye of the Beholder, he notices that Ono cannot see properly with just one useable eye, so he plots to eat as many zebras as he wants, but when Ono shows up by Embamba Canyon to help the rest of the Guard, he spoils the hyena's plan.

Fuli
As with the rest of the Guard, Janja has a deep hatred for Fuli. The only time they appeared not to be hostile toward each other was in "Janja's New Crew". They have been enemies ever since Janja and his clan attacked a herd of gazelles in The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar. Despite her speed, Janja will still try to trap her, as seen in "Fuli's New Family".

Beshte
Beshte really hates Janja just like the rest of the guard. Beshte is always there when Janja and his clan is on the attack. When Beshte is alone in the Outlands Janja tries to smush him by pushing big heavy rocks on him.

Jasiri
Janja hates Jasiri for respecting the Circle of Life and for being all nice and kind, unlike other hyenas. She does not seem to feel threatened by Janja, and is able to defeat him and most of his clan alone, much to his dismay.

Before he caught Jasiri and the two hyena cubs in the steam vent he got soft eyes while looking at her, playing hide and seek with them. As he spoke with his two comrades Cheezi and Chungu he even said: "Oh, look guys! Ain't that cute? Jasiri's playing with the cubs".

When he tried to kill Jasiri by throwing her into a steam vent that was about to explode, he stayed to watch her death and no matter what, always attacks her, showing that he badly wants his revenge and that he claims that what the two have, ain't over yet.

In The Hyena Resistance, despite their rivalry, Jasiri saved Janja from falling into lava, much to his surprise. Despite Jasiri offering him to join the resistance, Janja refuses, prefering to stick to disrespect the Circle of Life and being bad.

Madoa and Janja are enemies. When Janja knocks Jasiri and the cubs in a steam bent Madoa gets the guard for help. In "The Hyena Resistance" Madoa helps her clan stop Janja's clan. Madoa isn't really sure why Jasiri saved him but she's glad that they stoped Scar's army.

Later when Tamaa reforms from his selfish ways, he imitates the Lion Guard to outsmart him, Cheezi and Chungu. When he found this out he attempted to eat him, but Kion stopped him before he could. In Divide and Conquer, he briefly sees Tamaa again when he distracts him from Kion, being tackled by the latter seconds later.
