Talk:The Lion King II: Simba's Pride/@comment-28140330-20170910235854

 When I first saw 'The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride', I was shocked to noticed that Nala gave birth to Kiara.



 At the end of the 1998 film, I was sure that Simba and Nala's cub is a boy.

 On a few books of the story, it even says, at the end, Simba and Nala's cub will be 'the new king'.



 There were even book series called The Lion King: Six New Adventures and their male cub was named Kopa.



 And when Kiara was created, Kopa was unrecognized, and the official trailer of The Lion King II identified Kiara as "Fluffy", the placeholder name of the cub at the end of The Lion King, therefore disowning Kopa. Additionally, a new male cub character was created for The Lion Guard named Kion, functioning as another replacement for the character. Kopa's name, in Swahili, means "hearts".
