Oh.
Mbuni, it's
ma-un-de-lay-e-oh, ya uhhi.
Remember that for tonight!
Mmm-hmm.
Your dad
is sounding good, Beshte.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
He's been practicing.
It's not every day
you get to be a part of
the Kupatana celebration.
Well, considering Kupatana
only happens once a year...
And I can't wait!
It's the biggest party
in the Pride Lands!
It's not just a party, Bunga.
Yes. Kupatana is the one day
all the animals in the Pride
Lands gather side-by-side,
to celebrate
the Circle of Life in peace.
Yeah.
It's the most peaceful day
of the year!
I spoke too soon.
Yep. It's Janja
and his hyenas.
They're chasing a little
jackal pup though the Outlands.
The Outlands.
I wish the Lion Guard defended
the Circle of Life out there, too.
But we don't...
Kion, today is Kupatana.
And not just here
in the Pride Lands.
The spirit of Kupatana extends to
all the animals in the Circle of Life.
Even those
in the Outlands.
Of course.
You're right, Dad!
Lion Guard, let's go!
We're gonna save that pup!
You got it, Kion!
Zuka Zama!
Till the Pride Land's end...
Lion Guard defend!
There he goes!
Come on, fellas!
- Uh-oh!
- Whoa!
Hmm?
Oh, you jackals
are so annoying!
We just chased ya
out of our den yesterday.
And now you're back?
Guess I need to make
an example of ya!
Not today, Janja!
Hey! Hey! Easy on the fur!
What're you doing in the
Outlands, anyway?
Making sure
you let that pup go!
Yeah! Don't you know
today's Kupatana?
Ku... Ku...
Kupatana?
Okay, Kion.
You want the jackal?
He's all yours!
Uh, okay.
C'mon fellas. The Lion
Guard's doin' us a favor today!
Merry Kupatana!
That was different.
Yeah. You think Janja
celebrates Kupatana, too?
I seriously doubt it.
Thanks, you guys!
You were awesome!
You were like, "Let the jackal go!"
- And they did!
- Yeah. But why?
Well, I'm glad we could help.
Um...
I'm Dogo.
And you guys must be
the Lion Guard!
You're the coolest!
You just looked at the
hyenas and they ran away!
Yeah. We have that effect
on no-goods.
You're safe now, Dogo.
But I'd stay away from Janja's
territory if I were you.
Are you guys going back
to the Pride Lands?
I know I'd be safe there!
Don't you need to get back
to your family, Dogo?
I'm all by myself.
But I know there are lots of
friendly animals in the Pride Lands!
Can I please come with you?
Aw.
Well, it is Kupatana.
Okay, Dogo. You can come.
That's the signal!
He did it!
The plan worked!
The Lion Guard rescued Dogo.
Just like I knew they would.
We're getting into the Pride
Lands just in time for Kupatana!
Goigoi! Wake up!
- Aw, I was sleeping!
- You're always sleeping.
Listen! Dogo convinced
the Lion Guard
to invite him into the Pride Lands.
And when you invite one jackal...
You invite us all!
I'll go round up the boys!
All those animals coming
together in "peace" for Kupatana.
They'll never know
what hit them!
You sure about this, Kion?
It seemed like Janja couldn't
wait to get rid of this jackal!
It does seem odd.
Well, I think we should at
least give Dogo a chance.
You picked a great day
to get chased by hyenas, Dogo!
- I did?
- Oh, yeah.
Tonight, all of these baobab trees
will bloom for the very first time.
And all the animals in the
Pride Lands come here to watch!
It's what we call "Kupatana."
I've heard about Kupatana.
But I've never seen it!
I can't wait!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
You can't invite him to Kupatana.
He's an Outlander.
Outlanders never come
to Kupatana. Right, Kion?
Well, we've never had a guest from
- the Outlands on Kupatana before.
- Hmm?
But Dogo's just one little jackal.
It might be good for him
to learn about Kupatana. Come on.
- Poa!
- All right!
Here you go, Dogo.
You can make yourself
at home on this hillside.
Yeah! It's the perfect spot!
Just a short trot
to the watering hole.
And look at the view!
Okay. Well, thanks.
Welcome to
the Pride Lands, Dogo.
Now, let's split up
so we can
finish our patrol
in time for Kupatana.
Bunga, Beshte,
head to the watering hole.
Sounds good.
Ono, Fuli, you're with me.
We'll meet up back at the lair.
Hello, son.
- Mom, Mom! You heard my signal.
- That's right.
And here we all are!
In the Pride Lands!
Yep. This place sure beats
the Outlands.
I really fooled the
Lion Guard, didn't I?
Sure did, Dogo.
Great job.
But why are you sitting out here?
Uh, the Lion Guard said I could
stay on this hillside.
Jackals don't sit
on hillsides.
They have no idea what us
jackals are like, do they?
When's this Kupatana thing start?
I'm hungry!
Not for a while, honey.
In the meantime,
let's make ourselves at home.
Jackal style!
Hey, Ma Tembo!
Happy Kupatana!
Happy Kupatana, Beshte!
Happy Kupatana, Mbuni!
See you at the celebration tonight?
Yep. Can't wait!
Heya, Dogo.
Dogo?
He's so cute!
I know. But this is Muhanga
the aardvark's den.
He can't stay here.
Dogo?
You got your own spot
on the hill, remember?
Oh, right. Okay.
Poor little fella.
Must've gone for a walk and gotten lost.
- Yeah.
- Whoa!
- But I thought he...
- Dogo.
Go back to your hill.
This den belongs to
someone else, too.
Weird.
Dogo!
These are aardvarks' dens!
You can't stay here!
- Uh... Bunga?
- Uh-huh.
Hey! What's going on here?
What are jackals doing in our den?
Easy, everybody. Easy!
- We'll take care of this.
- Yeah!
How?
Uh, only one thing to do.
Kion!
That was Bunga and Beshte!
Ono! What do you see?
Hapana!
Kion, I think you need
to see this for yourself.
Oh, okay, Ono.
Lead the way!
What were you doing in there?
Did you eat all my ants?
Easy there! I'm sure
they didn't mean any harm.
Heyvi kabisa!
That's a lot of jackals!
Where's Dogo?
- You looking for my boy?
- Who are you?
Didn't mean to startle ya.
I'm Reirei, Dogo's mom. And this...
Goigoi, get out here!
...is Goigoi, Dogo's dad.
- Hey! That's our den!
- And our fruit!
It's such a lovely den.
And the fruit's delicious!
We didn't say you could eat it!
You took our stuff without asking!
You're thieves!
Thieves?
Us? Never!
Enough!
Which one of you is Dogo?
I'm right here, Kion.
Dogo, I thought you said
you didn't have any family.
Uh, no. I said I was
all by myself.
Which he was,
at the time!
My son always
tells the truth.
But when he went into the Pride
Lands, we had to follow him.
You can't expect a little
pup to live in a strange place
without his mom and dad.
Right, Goigoi?
Whatever you say, dear.
And we couldn't leave our other
kids alone in the Outlands.
What kind of parents
would do that?
Okay, yeah.
- I can see that. But...
- Ah! Help!
Kion! Mbeya the rhino...
He's trapped in a mud pit.
All the way over
at Lake Matope.
We'll need to get moving.
Okay, Reirei.
You and your family have to stay
away from the aardvarks' dens.
- And food. Got it?
- Oh, yes.
And I'm so sorry
for any misunderstanding.
Lion Guard, follow me!
Come on, kids!
Let's leave these nice
aardvarks to their business.
We'll find someplace else to go.
Yeah, you do that.
You were right, Reirei.
The Pride Lands is filled
with great things to take.
Just wait for that big old
Kupatana celebration.
All the Pride
Lands' animals in one place!
Mmm-mmm.
Now, let's help
ourselves to more
of the Pride Landers'
generosity.
But, Mom, won't Kion and the Lion
Guard get mad and kick us out?
Dogo, Dogo, Dogo.
Today is the one day
these silly Pride Landers
will let us get away
with anything.
Right, Goigoi?
Yup!
Because it's Kupatana.
We can do whatever we want.
As long as we do it jackal style!

Oh, dear.
Has there been
another misunderstanding?
Whew.
Thank you so much.
Hakuna Matata, Mbeya.
Happens to
all of us sometimes.
Maybe next time you could get
stuck in mud that isn't so sticky.
It's okay.
We've still got time
to hit the watering hole
and get cleaned up
before the celebration.
Or maybe not.
Nothing to see here.
Move along.
I'm sorry, Kion.
I just don't understand
why everyone's so upset.
Yeah. We didn't take
anything from the aardvarks.
- What about all these other animals?
- Oh, them? Well...
It was just
a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
Is that what they call stealing food
and invading other animals'
homes in the Outlands?
Well, yes, it is.
Things are so different out there.
How could we possibly know
what's acceptable in the Pride Lands?
Give me a break.
Kion, you don't know how hard it is
to start over in a strange place.
We just don't know how to fit in.
We do so want to be accepted
as part of your community.
Don't you Pride Landers
have a word for that?
We do.
It's Kupatana.
We're actually gathering
in Mizimu Grove tonight
to celebrate Kupatana.
Kupatana.
Ku-pa-tana.
It sounds lovely.
Do you think
we jackals can be
a part of your Kupatana?
Maybe, but only
if you can treat
everyone in the
Pride Lands with respect.
Can you and
your family do that?
Oh, yes.
I think we understand now.
Right, Goigoi?
Goigoi!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Huh?
Uh, yeah,
whatever you say, dear.
Okay. Now we should go.
We need to clean up
for the Kupatana celebration.
But I hope we'll see you there.
Oh, they'll see us there,
all right.
Won't they, Goigoi?
Whatever you say, dear.

Hey. Did Dogo
and his family come?
- I don't see them.
- Shh. It's starting.
Thank you all for joining us.
We're here not just to witness
the blooming of the baobab flowers,
but to celebrate our community.
Our Kupatana.
And to honor all of our roles
in the Circle of Life.
It is time.
Wow.
This is so unexpected.
I didn't think I'd be so moved.
What? By a bunch of flowers?
No, by all the options.
All these delicious
little animals,
all in one place.
How will we ever know
where to begin?
I don't know.
Let's dig in.
And now, let the Kupatana
celebration...
Begin?
- Oh, no.
- Dogo.
I knew it.
What is going on?
- It's Reirei and her jackal family!
- Jackal family?
Sorry, Dad.
This is my fault.
But I know what to do.
Everyone! Don't be afraid!
You can all help the Lion
Guard by defending each other!
Kion is right.
If we stand together,
no Outlanders can defeat us.
We've gotta round up
these jackals
and send them back to the
Outlands where they belong.
- Ono?
- Affirmative.
Fuli! I see Goigoi!
Behind the elephants!
Huwezi!
Nowhere to run, Goigoi!
That's what you think.
Beshte! Jackal pups
near the giraffes!
Enough with the nipping.
Come on, where are you, Reirei?
Zuka Zama!
Got you, Dogo.
You know what?
I don't think you're cute anymore.
Now, now, little one,
it'll all be over quick.
Drop the hyrax.
Why, Kion.
What's got you so upset?
You lied to me, Reirei.
Oh, no.
Did we make another mistake?
- These Pride Land rules...
- Save it.
You're going back to the Outlands.
All of you.
Just one more chance.
- That's all we...
- You heard my son.
Leave. Now.
Oh. Simba.
I think there's been
a misunderstanding.
You know what they say,
there's no place like home!
- Let's go, kids!
- Whatever you say, dear!
- Kion?
- I'm sorry, Dad.
Don't forget, Kion.
I encouraged you to save that
jackal pup this morning.
Yeah, but you didn't tell me to
invite him into the Pride Lands.
You made a mistake, Kion.
But you made it
in the spirit of Kupatana.
You gave strangers
a chance to fit in.
And tonight we saw
Kupatana in action.
All the animals of the Pride Lands
- standing together as one.
- Thanks, Dad.
I guess this
year's celebration's over.
You kidding?
Usually we just get to
look at these things.
Mmm. This is the best
Kupatana ever.
Mmm.
Have to admit, Bunga's right.
These baobab blossoms
are delicious.
You see, Kion?
Everything has its place.
Yeah.
It's the Circle of Life.
Happy Kupatana, Dad.
Happy Kupatana, Kion.

Remember that for tonight!
Mmm-hmm.
Your dad
is sounding good, Beshte.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
He's been practicing.
It's not every day
you get to be a part of
the Kupatana celebration.
Well, considering Kupatana
only happens once a year...
And I can't wait!
It's the biggest party
in the Pride Lands!
It's not just a party, Bunga.
Yes. Kupatana is the one day
all the animals in the Pride
Lands gather side-by-side,
to celebrate
the Circle of Life in peace.
Yeah.
It's the most peaceful day
of the year!
I spoke too soon.
Yep. It's Janja
and his hyenas.
They're chasing a little
jackal pup though the Outlands.
The Outlands.
I wish the Lion Guard defended
the Circle of Life out there, too.
But we don't...
Kion, today is Kupatana.
And not just here
in the Pride Lands.
The spirit of Kupatana extends to
all the animals in the Circle of Life.
Even those
in the Outlands.
Of course.
You're right, Dad!
Lion Guard, let's go!
We're gonna save that pup!
You got it, Kion!
Zuka Zama!
Till the Pride Land's end...
Lion Guard defend!
There he goes!
Come on, fellas!
- Uh-oh!
- Whoa!
Hmm?
Oh, you jackals
are so annoying!
We just chased ya
out of our den yesterday.
And now you're back?
Guess I need to make
an example of ya!
Not today, Janja!
Hey! Hey! Easy on the fur!
What're you doing in the
Outlands, anyway?
Making sure
you let that pup go!
Yeah! Don't you know
today's Kupatana?
Ku... Ku...
Kupatana?
Okay, Kion.
You want the jackal?
He's all yours!
Uh, okay.
C'mon fellas. The Lion
Guard's doin' us a favor today!
Merry Kupatana!
That was different.
Yeah. You think Janja
celebrates Kupatana, too?
I seriously doubt it.
Thanks, you guys!
You were awesome!
You were like, "Let the jackal go!"
- And they did!
- Yeah. But why?
Well, I'm glad we could help.
Um...
I'm Dogo.
And you guys must be
the Lion Guard!
You're the coolest!
You just looked at the
hyenas and they ran away!
Yeah. We have that effect
on no-goods.
You're safe now, Dogo.
But I'd stay away from Janja's
territory if I were you.
Are you guys going back
to the Pride Lands?
I know I'd be safe there!
Don't you need to get back
to your family, Dogo?
I'm all by myself.
But I know there are lots of
friendly animals in the Pride Lands!
Can I please come with you?
Aw.
Well, it is Kupatana.
Okay, Dogo. You can come.
That's the signal!
He did it!
The plan worked!
The Lion Guard rescued Dogo.
Just like I knew they would.

Well, I think we should at
least give Dogo a chance.
You picked a great day
to get chased by hyenas, Dogo!
- I did?
- Oh, yeah.
Tonight, all of these baobab trees
will bloom for the very first time.
And all the animals in the
Pride Lands come here to watch!
It's what we call "Kupatana."
I've heard about Kupatana.
But I've never seen it!
I can't wait!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
You can't invite him to Kupatana.
He's an Outlander.
Outlanders never come
to Kupatana. Right, Kion?
Well, we've never had a guest from
- the Outlands on Kupatana before.
- Hmm?
But Dogo's just one little jackal.
It might be good for him
to learn about Kupatana. Come on.
- Poa!
- All right!
Here you go, Dogo.
You can make yourself
at home on this hillside.
Yeah! It's the perfect spot!
Just a short trot
to the watering hole.
And look at the view!
Okay. Well, thanks.
Welcome to
the Pride Lands, Dogo.
Now, let's split up
so we can
finish our patrol
in time for Kupatana.
Bunga, Beshte,
head to the watering hole.
Sounds good.
Ono, Fuli, you're with me.
We'll meet up back at the lair.
Hello, son.
- Mom, Mom! You heard my signal.
- That's right.
And here we all are!
In the Pride Lands!
Yep. This place sure beats
the Outlands.
I really fooled the
Lion Guard, didn't I?
Sure did, Dogo.
Great job.
But why are you sitting out here?
Uh, the Lion Guard said I could
stay on this hillside.
Jackals don't sit
on hillsides.
They have no idea what us
jackals are like, do they?
When's this Kupatana thing start?
I'm hungry!
Not for a while, honey.
In the meantime,
let's make ourselves at home.
Jackal style!
Hey, Ma Tembo!
Happy Kupatana!
Happy Kupatana, Beshte!
Happy Kupatana, Mbuni!
See you at the celebration tonight?
Yep. Can't wait!
Heya, Dogo.
Dogo?
He's so cute!
I know. But this is Muhanga
the aardvark's den.
He can't stay here.
Dogo?
You got your own spot
on the hill, remember?
Oh, right. Okay.
Poor little fella.
Must've gone for a walk and gotten lost.
- Yeah.
- Whoa!
- But I thought he...
- Dogo.
Go back to your hill.
This den belongs to
someone else, too.
Weird.
Dogo!
These are aardvarks' dens!
You can't stay here!
- Uh... Bunga?
- Uh-huh.
Hey! What's going on here?
What are jackals doing in our den?
Easy, everybody. Easy!
- We'll take care of this.
- Yeah!
How?
Uh, only one thing to do.
Kion!
That was Bunga and Beshte!
Ono! What do you see?
Hapana!
Kion, I think you need
to see this for yourself.
Oh, okay, Ono.
Lead the way!
What were you doing in there?
Did you eat all my ants?
Easy there! I'm sure
they didn't mean any harm.
Heyvi kabisa!
That's a lot of jackals!
Where's Dogo?
- You looking for my boy?
- Who are you?
Didn't mean to startle ya.
I'm Reirei, Dogo's mom. And this...
Goigoi, get out here!
...is Goigoi, Dogo's dad.
- Hey! That's our den!
- And our fruit!
It's such a lovely den.
And the fruit's delicious!
We didn't say you could eat it!
You took our stuff without asking!
You're thieves!
Thieves?
Us? Never!
Enough!
Which one of you is Dogo?
I'm right here, Kion.
Dogo, I thought you said
you didn't have any family.
Uh, no. I said I was
all by myself.
Which he was,
at the time!
My son always
tells the truth.
But when he went into the Pride
Lands, we had to follow him.
You can't expect a little
pup to live in a strange place
without his mom and dad.
Right, Goigoi?
Whatever you say, dear.
And we couldn't leave our other
kids alone in the Outlands.
What kind of parents
would do that?
Okay, yeah.
- I can see that. But...
- Ah! Help!
Kion! Mbeya the rhino...
He's trapped in a mud pit.
All the way over
at Lake Matope.
We'll need to get moving.
Okay, Reirei.
You and your family have to stay
away from the aardvarks' dens.
- And food. Got it?
- Oh, yes.
And I'm so sorry
for any misunderstanding.
Lion Guard, follow me!
Come on, kids!
Let's leave these nice
aardvarks to their business.
We'll find someplace else to go.
Yeah, you do that.
You were right, Reirei.
The Pride Lands is filled
with great things to take.
Just wait for that big old
Kupatana celebration.
All the Pride
Lands' animals in one place!
Mmm-mmm.
Now, let's help
ourselves to more
of the Pride Landers'
generosity.
But, Mom, won't Kion and the Lion
Guard get mad and kick us out?
Dogo, Dogo, Dogo.
Today is the one day
these silly Pride Landers
will let us get away
with anything.
Right, Goigoi?
Yup!
Because it's Kupatana.
We can do whatever we want.
As long as we do it jackal style!

Oh, dear.
Has there been
another misunderstanding?
Whew.
Thank you so much.
Hakuna Matata, Mbeya.
Happens to
all of us sometimes.
Maybe next time you could get
stuck in mud that isn't so sticky.
It's okay.
We've still got time
to hit the watering hole
and get cleaned up
before the celebration.
Or maybe not.
Nothing to see here.
Move along.
I'm sorry, Kion.
I just don't understand
why everyone's so upset.
Yeah. We didn't take
anything from the aardvarks.
- What about all these other animals?
- Oh, them? Well...
It was just
a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
Is that what they call stealing food
and invading other animals'
homes in the Outlands?
Well, yes, it is.
Things are so different out there.
How could we possibly know
what's acceptable in the Pride Lands?
Give me a break.
Kion, you don't know how hard it is
to start over in a strange place.
We just don't know how to fit in.
We do so want to be accepted
as part of your community.
Don't you Pride Landers
have a word for that?
We do.
It's Kupatana.
We're actually gathering
in Mizimu Grove tonight
to celebrate Kupatana.
Kupatana.
Ku-pa-tana.
It sounds lovely.
Do you think
we jackals can be
a part of your Kupatana?
Maybe, but only
if you can treat
everyone in the
Pride Lands with respect.
Can you and
your family do that?
Oh, yes.
I think we understand now.
Right, Goigoi?
Goigoi!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Huh?
Uh, yeah,
whatever you say, dear.
Okay. Now we should go.
We need to clean up
for the Kupatana celebration.
But I hope we'll see you there.
Oh, they'll see us there,
all right.
Won't they, Goigoi?
Whatever you say, dear.

Hey. Did Dogo
and his family come?
- I don't see them.
- Shh. It's starting.
Thank you all for joining us.
We're here not just to witness
the blooming of the baobab flowers,
but to celebrate our community.
Our Kupatana.
And to honor all of our roles
in the Circle of Life.
It is time.
Wow.
This is so unexpected.
I didn't think I'd be so moved.
What? By a bunch of flowers?
No, by all the options.
All these delicious
little animals,
all in one place.
How will we ever know
where to begin?
I don't know.
Let's dig in.
And now, let the Kupatana
celebration...
Begin?
- Oh, no.
- Dogo.
I knew it.
What is going on?
- It's Reirei and her jackal family!
- Jackal family?
Sorry, Dad.
This is my fault.
But I know what to do.
Everyone! Don't be afraid!
You can all help the Lion
Guard by defending each other!
Kion is right.
If we stand together,
no Outlanders can defeat us.
We've gotta round up
these jackals
and send them back to the
Outlands where they belong.
- Ono?
- Affirmative.
Fuli! I see Goigoi!
Behind the elephants!
Huwezi!
Nowhere to run, Goigoi!
That's what you think.
Beshte! Jackal pups
near the giraffes!
Enough with the nipping.
Come on, where are you, Reirei?
Zuka Zama!
Got you, Dogo.
You know what?
I don't think you're cute anymore.
Now, now, little one,
it'll all be over quick.
Drop the hyrax.
Why, Kion.
What's got you so upset?
You lied to me, Reirei.
Oh, no.
Did we make another mistake?
- These Pride Land rules...
- Save it.
You're going back to the Outlands.
All of you.
Just one more chance.
- That's all we...
- You heard my son.
Leave. Now.
Oh. Simba.
I think there's been
a misunderstanding.
You know what they say,
there's no place like home!
- Let's go, kids!
- Whatever you say, dear!
- Kion?
- I'm sorry, Dad.
Don't forget, Kion.
I encouraged you to save that
jackal pup this morning.
Yeah, but you didn't tell me to
invite him into the Pride Lands.
You made a mistake, Kion.
But you made it
in the spirit of Kupatana.
You gave strangers
a chance to fit in.
And tonight we saw
Kupatana in action.
All the animals of the Pride Lands
- standing together as one.
- Thanks, Dad.
I guess this
year's celebration's over.
You kidding?
Usually we just get to
look at these things.
Mmm. This is the best
Kupatana ever.
Mmm.
Have to admit, Bunga's right.
These baobab blossoms
are delicious.
You see, Kion?
Everything has its place.
Yeah.
It's the Circle of Life.
Happy Kupatana, Dad.
Happy Kupatana, Kion.
