After Kiros led the Outsiders into Milele, Mufasa delivered a speech to the animals of Milele, claiming that their fight was his fight and that the Outsiders would simply come for them after they finished with him. Mobo countered that one lion's hope could not change the fate of Milele, but Mufasa replied that the animals could save their home if they worked together. Swayed by Mufasa's speech, Mobo joined his fellow animals in fighting off the Outsiders. After the battle, they made Mufasa their king.
