Okay, so after holding this one back for a couple of weeks now, I’m officially done with this! Bear in mind, this isn’t exactly part of the Dangan King Challenge, but it still counts in filling the slots for these four characters specifically. I had this idea lurking in the back of my mind for the longest time and I finally completed it.
After watching the Lion Guard, I realized Komaru shares many similarities with Kion: their ability to speak with the deceased (Mufasa in Kion’s case and the ghost of a Towa member in Komaru’s), the fact that they have a power that allows them to send enemies off (Kion’s roar and Komaru’s megaphone), their powers also can impact the elements around them (Kion’s roar being able to trigger rain and Komaru’s megaphone being able to set things on fire, electrify, etc). So something just clicked: what if in the TLK AU, Komaru had a Lion Guard of her own? So, after much thought, I’ve decided these are the members!
Komaru: The Fiercest. She became the leader of the Guard after her brother became king. At first she wasn’t very confident in her role and even messed up a few times, but after dominating the power of the Roar and meeting the rest of guard members, bit by bit she started to believe in herself. Her catchphrase is ‘Ondoka!’ (’Go away!’ in Swahili)
Touko: The Bravest. She’s a lone hyena. At first Komaru was put off by her scent, but after she saved her from her abductors way before her brother became King, she decided to mantain her as a friend. She’s pretty snarky and sarcastic, but soon became Komaru’s second paw. She also has a double personality called Syo which she usually summons when things get tough.
Yuta: The Swiftest Swimmer. He’s the little brother of Aoi, a lioness from Makoto’s pride. He’s a very lively lion who wanted to prove himself to his sister, which resulted in him joining the Guard to protect the pride turf. Just like Aoi, he’s a fast swimmer, so fast he can swim against the toughest of currents without blinking.
Taichi: The Smartest. An adult male originally from another pride, father of a cub named Chihiro. He seems like a teen in appearance, but the truth is that his mane is pretty poor and scarce, both due to the malnutrition he suffered in his former pride and his likeness to a Tsavo lion. Despite being an adult he actually asked to join the Guard after Komaru and Touko saved him, as he wanted to be useful to his new Pride in some capacity. Despite not exceeding physically, he’s highly intelligent and uses his knowledge to aid the Guard.
