He was 'carefree' in the first movie because he was actively trying to avoid his trauma instead of processing his feelings. He was most likely feeling the same things in the jungle that he was during TLK2 except he allowed himself to express his fears and anxiety more in TLK2
Hate to ruin your beliefs but Kopa never existed there books he was in were nothing to do with Disney they were basically fan made fan made Kopa is not canon there never was a Kopa
I read on the internet once that Kopa and Kiara were designed by two different artist departments within Disney, but they didn't communicate with each other about these two cubs, so neither group knew the other cub existed. For whatever reason, Disney finally decided to keep Kiara and discard Kopa.
Yes, this is true. The second film did not know that a book series existed while they were creating the film and had already planned out everything. They didn’t know about the books until after the film released and it was brought to their attention. As well, Kopa is not technically owned by Disney, but the author of the stories.

Zira’s attack on Kopa’s life will need to have been sometime after Zira and her family and her followers were banished from the Pride Lands as was shown in The Lion Guard: Lions of the Outlands. Since Kopa is the firstborn and because of Zira’s attack on Kopa’s life leading to Kopa going into hiding, it can explain why Kiara is being groomed as the next Queen of the Pride Lands and Kion has been known as the second born and only son of Simba and Nala. Next, can you please do a What if called What if Kion meets Kopa at the Tree of Life (in the events of The Lion Guard: The Tree of Life)?
I already see someone reminded you, but i made your idea into a video!! thanks a lot, i see you have many great ideas and i hope to hear more from you. What would you think of the idea that Zira survived her fall and meets Kopa again my friend? would love to hear how you would write that out!
@FilmSecrets-11 Kopa has joined Vitani’s Lion Guard. Zira takes command of a new Pride of Evil Lions who are white furred Lions. Simba’s Pride and the Lion Guard goes out to meet them. Zira is blood frozen to see that her attempted victim has now become her worst nightmare. Amidst the battle, Kopa engages Zira in a fight, and then Kopa’s adoptive mother Imani and her mate Koman and their daughter Sanura come to Kopa’s aid and then just before they can kill Zira, the new Pride of Evil Lions turn on Zira at the smell of her fear and drag her down into the river where they all drown. And then as Simba’s Pride and the Lion Guard head back to Pride Rock, Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani having forgotten to ask Kopa what they have been meaning to ask him when he returned tell Kopa that there’s something they don’t understand and they ask Kopa since he had been alive all that time, why wasn’t he back at home when they needed him despite Zira’s attack on his life to which Kopa says that while it wasn’t completely a good idea, being at the Tree of Life was the only way he knew to keep himself safely hidden from Zira ever since the incident to which Simba and Nala insist that they would have done everything to keep him safe to which Kopa says that while he doesn’t deny how great they are with doing that, at that time, he didn’t know what to do as he felt that if he didn’t take immediate action, he would only be endangering them all if he stayed, and that is why he had to go somewhere where he could never be found even if it was the Tree of Life. And then Simba and Nala comfort Kopa by apologizing to him that they couldn’t save him as it was their duty as his parents to keep him safe while Kiara comforts Kopa by telling him that he is her brother and that she will be there for him no matter what. And then Kopa’s adoptive mother Imani feeling very emotional and beginning to cry approaches and giving Kopa a lot of physical affection tells Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani that part of Kopa running away to the Tree of Life and not being back at home when he was needed was actually her fault as she was the one who also helped Azaad get Kopa to the Tree of Life to be healed and kept safely hidden from Zira which really shocks Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani and then Kopa reveals that Zira’s attack on his life was also why Imani turned her back on Zira’s Pride and risked everything to help ensure Kopa’s safety and that he got to the Tree of Life to be healed and kept out of Zira’s reach even if it meant going as far as to beating Zira up and leaving her in a coma when she discovered Zira’s act of betrayal. Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani then ask Imani why she would turn her back on Zira’s Pride and risk everything for Kopa’s life to which Imani says that it’s because Kopa is her son who is her everything and she couldn’t bear to watch him suffer and knew that when Zira attacked Kopa, she had to make a choice between her duty to Zira’s Pride and her son and she chose Kopa because she knew that there was no way she would ever be able to prioritize her duty to Zira’s Pride over her son and the love for him and then Koman and Sanura back up Imani by Koman telling them that while it was really hard, his mate Imani made the right decision and they stood by her decision and Sanura says that Kopa is her big brother and she did not want to imagine a life without him. Shabaha and Tazama and Kasi and Imara then reveal themselves as Kopa’s spies who witnessed Zira’s betrayal and saw Zira attacked Kopa and since that day, they had been working together from the shadows doing whatever they can to keep any information involving Kopa from reaching the wrong ears and falling into the wrong paws. Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani are emotionally moved by Kopa, Imani, Koman, Sanura, Shabaha, Tazama, Kasi, and Imara’s words as they see that Imani’s actions show that she was driven by a mother’s love for her (Imani) adoptive son and that Shabaha and Tazama and Kasi and Imara’s actions were driven by their love and deep care for Kopa and Nala tightly hugs Imani and Koman and Sanura and Shabaha and Tazama and Kasi and Imara as she has tears in her eyes and thanks Imani, Koman, and Sanura for giving her and Simba back their precious boy and Simba says with acknowledgment that she (Imani) did what any mother would do and Kiara and Vitani thank Imani and Koman and Sanura and Shabaha and Tazama and Kasi and Imara for taking such very great care of Kopa. And then Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani ask Kopa what made him (Kopa) finally come back despite his desire to stay hidden at the Tree of Life for as long as he wanted to which Kopa joined by Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga (who have come down for a visit) reveal that Kion and his best friends Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga did, because when he saw their existence and their identity as the Lion Guard through the Mark of the Guard on their shoulders and the Roar of the Elders and their and Makini’s arrival at the Tree of Life and his first interaction with them upon their arrival and their compassion and love and care for him and their offer of friendship and support and protection as a sign of the perfect opportunity he had been looking for to come out of hiding, he knew in that moment that his time and life at the Tree of Life had come to an end and that he could finally come back home to the Pride Lands and permanently be with his family now that he has Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga in his life and by his side and then Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga confirm Kopa’s story and that it was them (Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga) and they explain that they and Makini found Kopa at the Tree of Life when they went there to get the cures that Kion and Ono needed as Rafiki directed them and then when they (Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga) heard Kopa show his side of the story which revealed everything to them about why he had been absent including how they grew up together knowing Kiara as the first born and the future Queen of the Pride Lands and Kion as the second born and only son of Simba and Nala, seeing and hearing how he had to experience such horror regarding Zira’s attack on his life really broke their hearts beyond belief and they share how they even offered him their friendship and support and protection and care and love for him and reminded him that he’s not alone anymore and that when they were ready to leave the Tree of Life and come back to the Pride Lands, they would not be leaving without Kopa and his family and friends he had formed during his time at the Tree of Life and that Kopa is stuck with them forever and under their watch and protection despite them now living at the Tree of Life. Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani are emotionally moved by Kopa, Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga’s words and actions and Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani thank Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga for finding Kopa and bringing him back home to them where he belongs.
1. Zira killed Kopa because one she did not want him with Vitani and she thought Simba killed her mate Scar 2. People say Kopa is not cannon, but other people consider him as one 3. I watch one of Kopa stores were Sarabi tried to save Kopa but got killed by Zira (which is the reason why Sarabi was not in Lion King 2) so Kopa survived Zira attacked but he run away from pride lands
That’s because he’s really not canon anyone who considers him as such is wrong The books he was in had absolutely nothing to do with Disney they are basically fan made meaning There’s no such character as Kopa he never existed
It’s sad because Nuka actually liked kopa he even spent time with him with his sister vitanne (can’t spell). Also imagine if kopa and vitanne stoped the war between both simba and zira instead of Kiara and kovu🤔.
I think kopa and kovu could be the same person I know it’s an odd time line up but like-I explained it in my comment it’s probably somewhere in the recents T^T
You Know What, i'm Starting To Actually Think That Was Cub At The End OF The First Movie Was Kopa, You Can Definitely See The Difference Between The Original Movie's Ending And The Opening Scene For The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride.
What’s even crazy is that Simba and Nala are a bit older in the second movie compared to how young they looked in the first movie when they had their first cub
That’s just because the writers didn’t know who that cub was going to be yet when they ended the first movie hence no name was given to it It’s not Kopa because he never existed, He’s not Canon, the books he was written in were nothing to do with Disney at all
@donnastarpaw Well it's canon To me, I Say it's Kopa At The End OF The First Movie, Some Fans Can Think That Was Kopa in The End, You can See The Differences in The End OF The First Movie And Opening in Second Movie, it is Not A Re-Shot.
I know disney's answer would be the baby cub was just a place holder for kirara,but come on even I don't belive that with the 2 different fur colors,sure the books are not canon,and I have heard the author still needed permission just to publish those books,so to me it sounded like disney should've just made the books canon since the author needed their permission for it,is that not how it works? oh well,I'll never understand copyright no matter how many times it's explained,whatever,so we have a non canon character from a book that needed permission to be published,and I'm guessing that author took rights for this baby cub from the end of the first movie and they decided to make a new character entirely,buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut this does explain why simba is a highly protective father
This is really weird, when you tell this story. Kopa and Vitani seems at the same age, but in The Lion King 2. Kion and Vitani seems the same age. And Kiara is born before Kion and Kiara is the "middle" child if this is true so none of this makes sense.
Yes, it doesn't make sense. Kopa is not actually canon to the movies or the Lion guard. It's only canon to the books which books are actually not canon to the movies. Kopa isn't a cannon character. Kiara and Kion are cannon characters.
Thanks so much for the video! What’s crazy is that in the end of the first movie is that Simba and Nala were young when they just announced their first cub which was Kopa. Then in the second movie Simba and Nala are little bit older when they just had Kiara so it’s not a coincidence😳
@@OGMAKKELLI it does make sense. Besides, thanks to The Lion Guard episode called Lions of the Outlands, Zira and her followers being banished from the Pride Lands does actually happen before Kopa was born.
@ Idk why when it comes to Disney because they confirmed that lion guard is canon but it doesn’t make sense being canon to lion king, that’s my issue. Personally I feel like lion guard should be its own thing while lion king has its own story. Just my opinion
@@OGMAKKELLI In the new mufasa movie, there is a cub that is born, and it’s not Kiara, so now it’s not 2 different things, and it’s supposed to be Kion I guess
@@OGMAKKELLI no, Kiara is already big and is cuddling with her baby brother. And he as 2 stripes on his head which I think represent his hair ? It’s not an older cub anyways
Hi I have a dark theory about the Lion King Franchise. In the first Movie the scene "Be Prepared" showed the hyena's doing the Nazi March and Ed the Hyena saluting to Scar. This is a reference of dictatorship and hate. But at the end of the First Movie into the Second Movie did you noticed that the names of Simba and Nala's cubs are Kopa, Kiara and Kion, All start with K. Also known as the Ku Klux Klan
People responsible for TLK2 didn’t know Kopa existed, but people decided to use fan theories as fact like naive children… for years… I was a kid when I first heard of it and even I knew he was SEMI-canon, the same rank as Mheetu, Tama, Malka, Tojo, etc.
Honestly I remember the lion king 1 had a short after the credits where Timon and pumba are excited. But then we're told it's a daughter. So my head cannon always thought the missing cub was vitani
The theory says he disappeared away from the pride lands so he wouldn't die from zira for real this time so if he went back zira would notice him going back so that's why he can't be king no more
I still think kopa is not really canon to the lion King movies because that company made those books without Disney’s permission and when they did, they were kinda of mad about it to in a way they don’t wanna mention kopa at all so in way he is not Cannon so we’re gonna have to admit he does not exist
at the end of the lion king 2 movie during the fight, vitani was the first one to leave zira and join simba's pride. at that moment she might have recalled what nuka said when he found kopa injured. this could be one of the strongest points that vitani might have considered before leaving her mother along with seeing how badly zira wanted simba dead.
Here is your answer different artist not same artist who helped make first movie. They redrew the opening scene from the end scene still same cub just drawn differently because The Lion King 2 was not even a concept as the first movie wrapped production before heading to the theaters. Kopa was a side project written by various authors with Disney's permission.
Lion King 2 in the deleted scene “Simba’s daughter is a girl!” A girl?!” Scar do you hear that? (What could’ve happened) “It seems fate is on our side my love. Now there’s not another male to get in the way of our young prince.”
I think Disney just didn't plan the second movie. But I love to think about the first cub as being Kopa. It also explains why Simba was so protective over Kiara later.
I feel like the books and movies are different because they needs mention kopa and they might've not had permission to use the character so they made kiara and kion instead. They might be making them like different universes.
maybe Kopa is in the new loin king movie "Mufasa The lion king" and Kopa is Mufasas brother but Kopa is a boy instead of a girl? An they wanted Kopa back in the series! Please pin this
This is inspiring me to do a fanfic series where Kopa leaves the Pride Lands out of shame leading up to my AU where Kovu successfully kills Simba just as Zira had planned. I will admit I’ve never read The Lion King Six New Adventures but I do understand Kopa is a controversial character. There are some fans that consider him canon while others say he’s not. I believe those that say he’s not canon.
There are loads of possibilities, maybe he was killed but since sarabi wasnt in other movies since the voice actor died they needed a way to sadly- kill the character off. Zira sees kopa and sarabi, wanting revenge over scar's death. Sarabi throws her life on the line and dies protecting Kopa. Kopa runs away during the attack. He leaves the pridelands and is never seen again. It could be like Simba's childhood but Kopa wasnt found by anyone.
Wait I didn’t know Simba had a son but Zira was my favorite one I just like her and the song you are putting and the arts this reminds me of a scary Netflix, movie
I remember Kopa Afua Nuka Vitani were friends i also remember that Zira injured Kopa and took him to the out lands to die after that Nuka saw Kopas body covered in injuries and blood then Kopa went and Kopa was never seen again i remember that the two cubs were different the cub in the first movie was probably Kopa also Kopa had another name it was fluffy then in the second movie the second cub was Kiara it was cute when Kopa and Afua were best friends after that Kovu and Kiara were born Simba told Kiara not to go to far away because Simba was worried that the same thing may happen to Kiara and Kovu and Kiara were in the lake standing on top of crocodiles Zira was spying on Kovu and Kiara Simba and Nala had two sons Kopa and Kion and One daughter called Kiara Mufasa and Sarabi have one grandaughter named Kiara two grandsons Kopa and Kion dose that mean that Scar is the great uncle of Kion Kiara and Kopa dose that mean Nalas mother Sarafina is Simbas auntie Mufasa and Sarabi are the parents of Simba
I think that explains why simba is so controlling and protective over Kiara I think. I never really understood why he had that shift in attitude in the second movie but this makes sense if it happened inbetween
If Zira killed him, that put her on top of the Disney villain chart as she YEETED A CHILD. And she didn't pounce when he was an infant. She waited until Kopa was old enough to be greatly known by everyone, to have a relationship with his parents, to have him already planning out his dreams and then she sniped him.
the actual explanation is what he said in the beginning, the cub was named fluffy and LK2 wasn't planned, the reason the ceremonies are different because LK2 was made years later an they forgot
After the release of Mufasa I think another theory could be that kovu and kopa are the same person. The colors are similar I think it’s been a while since I’ve watched it. It could be completely stupid but just my take. Honestly the colors of the lions in the outlands are darker than the pride lands and it could have something to do with the environment, maybe something tints their fur in a way, meaning his coat could’ve been darkened. Now, I assume that-kovu’s mom idk how tf it’s spelled- did this because she wanted to use simba’s own flesh and blood to get back at him. After all, scar was simba’s uncle, so “mom” felt that simba had betrayed his own family, so she sent kopa to do the same to simba.
Awww that’s ok Kopa maybe your name changed like Scars did. I have a cat that took up with us named fluffy~💗💫 I always did think it was odd that Zira presented Kovu to Simba like that…
Id like to believe was kopa was adapted into kion in the series, cause they have resemblances. So basically to me fluffy was probably attacked by a predator or zira, and then simba became overprotective of kiara because he already lost 1 heir, and then theres lots of videos explaining different ways to explain kopa/kion not being in either movie, cause they have similar personalities too, so since simba worried more bout protecting his heir, he let kion run rampant cause he had rafikki and the others and had proved responsible enough do to a fierceness that kiara didnt have yet til she was older while kopa/kion was at the tree of life. I rest my case, it makes my brain happy to think that way
I don’t think this means anything but I realized that all of Nala and simba’s kids names all start with a K for example Kion,Kiara and Kopa even Kovu so what if Kovu is really Kopa but zira got into his head and now had him on her side and kinda memory washed him Edit: and she never really killed him and just got him to kill simba for him Edit 2: Ik Kovu is a different color but idk this is just a theory that I made up in my head lol
2 ceremonies first movie was kopa he was murdered by zira as a way of revenge because she didn’t know hyenas killed scar not Simba so zira killed kopa and the second movie Nala looks a teensy bit older and she carried kiara to rafiki
STOP I'M GIGGLING..WHY DO THE EVENT SOUNDS SOUND LIKE SO SERIOUS AND DRAMATIC WHILE HIS VOICE SOUNDS SO DEPRESSING LIKE THAT GUY WHO DOE THE TOP 6 VIDEOS.. 😭😭
I mean in first movie, there were many little cubs that were never introduced to. So I always thought same thing with the 2nd movie. They just wanted Kiara to be like Simba, befriend Kovu, and unite the two prides. Vitani, Kiara, and Kovu are clearly close in age. They would have aged a year already and Kiara would remember Kopa. So the theory is a great listen but it's still off. 👍🏽
According to google My question was kopa there in the lion King Here is answer from Google 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Kopa DOESN'T exist in the sequel, nor in any of the movies or novels except for the Six New Adventures. Anyway, Kopa is the son of Simba and Nala, an only child. He is the prince and the sole Heir of the Pride Lands. He simply doesn't exist. But I believe so that kopa exist
I always thought it was odd when Kiara was told to stay in the path that simba had marked for her, what if when kopa was alive in the pride lands and did not have that path. The paw prints are too shallow when we see them.
Zero killed coppa when he was a curve there was a huge fight between Simba and zero they decided to switch carbs for a week and 0 never got along with Copa so see and Copa is always was so curious he decided to see her as his mother but zero there and take it well and killed him see let them in the rain to die alone and if you search up The Lion King songs there is one specific song that goes that goes out napo kaise you can see the Copa in there was so scared he decided to run but he wasn't fast enough so zero killed him and left him to die and found Simba and took him to coppa and let him grief alone that's the reason why we have never seen coppa he died before Nala was even born
Copa is still alive he hasn't been here with us in any of the seasons of the lion pride the he still there if you look closely you will see that in one of the songs of The Lion King that we used to sort of you can see he actually his spirit still though is still alive with us
There is a song from people to know where did cobra and what happened to him the song is called go and search in your on your phone The Lion King songs the name of that song is copozz death
I want Disney to come up with a story for Kopa. Instead of doing that in the first place, they made up a whole different character: Kion. I mean was Kion really relevent? Don't get me wrong I like the Lion Guard but they should have went with something like Kopa's story since it's in the books (even if it's not by Disney themselves\they just gave permission to write the books) I'm sure Disney was aware of what the books were about (Whoever wrote the books basically gave Disney an idea of giving them Kopa so they can maybe introduce him and his story) and instead Disney just left that and focused on Kion, who's story is way more complicated and people had to make sense of it themselves.
Shiiish, people's been talking about Kopa since forever in the Lion Guard fandom. So many videos on this theme. Is this "The bite of 87" of the Lion Guard fandom?
They look different because legit the first movie is about Mufasa child which is Simba and then the next one is about Simba’s child the girl kiara and then they make the lion guard which is about all that stuff. I don’t feel like explaining it.
I honestly believe that the theory that zira killed Kopa that would explain why she was banished and why Simba's personality suddenly changed a very overprotective father when in the first movie to see more carefree.
He was 'carefree' in the first movie because he was actively trying to avoid his trauma instead of processing his feelings. He was most likely feeling the same things in the jungle that he was during TLK2 except he allowed himself to express his fears and anxiety more in TLK2
Yea true
Hate to ruin your beliefs but Kopa never existed there books he was in were nothing to do with Disney they were basically fan made fan made Kopa is not canon there never was a Kopa
Proof?@@donnastarpaw
Wait this is photoshopped!

This is understandable and respectable a someone in the art industry, i like how people dig so deep with theories but its really just discardign characters for better stories
Kopa will always be considered semi-canon at this point honestly.
Facts when I first found out what happened to him I cried but then I realized he was still alive somewhere.
Fr
That could change in the Mafusa movie
@@GWBGamingYT honestly I don't think kopa would show up in the mufasa movie bc it's Abt mufasa, before simba was born, maybe Disney someday will bring back kopa in smth else tho, if they actually decide to
Yes fr thats true
Yeah, that would explain why Simba is over protective of Kiara, because Kopa was killed.
Zira’s attack on Kopa’s life will need to have been sometime after Zira and her family and her followers were banished from the Pride Lands as was shown in The Lion Guard: Lions of the Outlands. Since Kopa is the firstborn and because of Zira’s attack on Kopa’s life leading to Kopa going into hiding, it can explain why Kiara is being groomed as the next Queen of the Pride Lands and Kion has been known as the second born and only son of Simba and Nala.

Yes that would be good

And then Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani ask Kopa what made him (Kopa) finally come back despite his desire to stay hidden at the Tree of Life for as long as he wanted to which Kopa joined by Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga (who have come down for a visit) reveal that Kion and his best friends Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga did, because when he saw their existence and their identity as the Lion Guard through the Mark of the Guard on their shoulders and the Roar of the Elders and their and Makini’s arrival at the Tree of Life and his first interaction with them upon their arrival and their compassion and love and care for him and their offer of friendship and support and protection as a sign of the perfect opportunity he had been looking for to come out of hiding, he knew in that moment that his time and life at the Tree of Life had come to an end and that he could finally come back home to the Pride Lands and permanently be with his family now that he has Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga in his life and by his side and then Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga confirm Kopa’s story and that it was them (Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga) and they explain that they and Makini found Kopa at the Tree of Life when they went there to get the cures that Kion and Ono needed as Rafiki directed them and then when they (Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga) heard Kopa show his side of the story which revealed everything to them about why he had been absent including how they grew up together knowing Kiara as the first born and the future Queen of the Pride Lands and Kion as the second born and only son of Simba and Nala, seeing and hearing how he had to experience such horror regarding Zira’s attack on his life really broke their hearts beyond belief and they share how they even offered him their friendship and support and protection and care and love for him and reminded him that he’s not alone anymore and that when they were ready to leave the Tree of Life and come back to the Pride Lands, they would not be leaving without Kopa and his family and friends he had formed during his time at the Tree of Life and that Kopa is stuck with them forever and under their watch and protection despite them now living at the Tree of Life. Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani are emotionally moved by Kopa, Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga’s words and actions and Simba and Nala and Kiara and Vitani thank Kion, Fuli, Bunga, Beshte, Ono, and Anga for finding Kopa and bringing him back home to them where he belongs.
1. Zira killed Kopa because one she did not want him with Vitani and she thought Simba killed her mate Scar
2. People say Kopa is not cannon, but other people consider him as one
3. I watch one of Kopa stores were Sarabi tried to save Kopa but got killed by Zira (which is the reason why Sarabi was not in Lion King 2) so Kopa survived Zira attacked but he run away from pride lands
Well also the actress that played sarabi had passed and they didn't want to recast
He’s semi-canon. And Zira killing him is a fan theory
That’s because he’s really not canon anyone who considers him as such is wrong
The books he was in had absolutely nothing to do with Disney they are basically fan made meaning There’s no such character as Kopa he never existed
@@mysryuzahes not even Semi Canon Disney never made him he is fully fan made meaning he’s 100% NOT canon at all
@@donnastarpaw hes born at the end of Mufasa...
Kopa deserve his chance to become canon.
Right
Agreed. #LetKopaIn

It’s sad because Nuka actually liked kopa he even spent time with him with his sister vitanne (can’t spell). Also imagine if kopa and vitanne stoped the war between both simba and zira instead of Kiara and kovu🤔.
that can also explain why she picked Kiara over her mother when she realize they were the good guys
I think kopa and kovu could be the same person I know it’s an odd time line up but like-I explained it in my comment it’s probably somewhere in the recents T^T
Kopa needs his own movie 🎥
He does
@@RichardNorman-ge3fg exactly 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Absolutely
And I don't understand why he could not appear in Mufasa movie instead of Kiara.
Frrrr
You Know What, i'm Starting To Actually Think That Was Cub At The End OF The First Movie Was Kopa, You Can Definitely See The Difference Between The Original Movie's Ending And The Opening Scene For The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride.
Exactly at the end of the movie kopa was born ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@PrincePakiso-rh2wz Heck Yeah.
What’s even crazy is that Simba and Nala are a bit older in the second movie compared to how young they looked in the first movie when they had their first cub
That’s just because the writers didn’t know who that cub was going to be yet when they ended the first movie hence no name was given to it
It’s not Kopa because he never existed, He’s not Canon, the books he was written in were nothing to do with Disney at all
@donnastarpaw Well it's canon To me, I Say it's Kopa At The End OF The First Movie, Some Fans Can Think That Was Kopa in The End, You can See The Differences in The End OF The First Movie And Opening in Second Movie, it is Not A Re-Shot.
Yes I want to find out why and nice review on this video of why Kopa isn’t in the lion king movies.✨🤔
Ok
I know disney's answer would be the baby cub was just a place holder for kirara,but come on even I don't belive that with the 2 different fur colors,sure the books are not canon,and I have heard the author still needed permission just to publish those books,so to me it sounded like disney should've just made the books canon since the author needed their permission for it,is that not how it works? oh well,I'll never understand copyright no matter how many times it's explained,whatever,so we have a non canon character from a book that needed permission to be published,and I'm guessing that author took rights for this baby cub from the end of the first movie and they decided to make a new character entirely,buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut this does explain why simba is a highly protective father
Thank you for posting the video.
This is really weird, when you tell this story. Kopa and Vitani seems at the same age, but in The Lion King 2. Kion and Vitani seems the same age. And Kiara is born before Kion and Kiara is the "middle" child if this is true so none of this makes sense.
Yes, it doesn't make sense. Kopa is not actually canon to the movies or the Lion guard. It's only canon to the books which books are actually not canon to the movies.
Kopa isn't a cannon character.
Kiara and Kion are cannon characters.
@caseydreamuslpsandmore2582 why isn't it same and why are the animated nit in sync with real live actions?
@@jchoi07 I can't answer that.
Thanks so much for the video! What’s crazy is that in the end of the first movie is that Simba and Nala were young when they just announced their first cub which was Kopa. Then in the second movie Simba and Nala are little bit older when they just had Kiara so it’s not a coincidence😳
@@OGMAKKELLI it does make sense. Besides, thanks to The Lion Guard episode called Lions of the Outlands, Zira and her followers being banished from the Pride Lands does actually happen before Kopa was born.
@ Idk why when it comes to Disney because they confirmed that lion guard is canon but it doesn’t make sense being canon to lion king, that’s my issue. Personally I feel like lion guard should be its own thing while lion king has its own story. Just my opinion
@@OGMAKKELLI In the new mufasa movie, there is a cub that is born, and it’s not Kiara, so now it’s not 2 different things, and it’s supposed to be Kion I guess
@@saphide Probably is Kion because Kopa is Kiara’s big brother
@@OGMAKKELLI no, Kiara is already big and is cuddling with her baby brother. And he as 2 stripes on his head which I think represent his hair ? It’s not an older cub anyways
Amazing video 😀❤
Zira thought that Simba killed Scar it was Ed Banzai and Shenzi
Kopa went to go get the gazelle and never came back
Kion just chilling, protecting the Lion Guard 💀
Hi I have a dark theory about the Lion King Franchise. In the first Movie the scene "Be Prepared" showed the hyena's doing the Nazi March and Ed the Hyena saluting to Scar. This is a reference of dictatorship and hate. But at the end of the First Movie into the Second Movie did you noticed that the names of Simba and Nala's cubs are Kopa, Kiara and Kion, All start with K. Also known as the Ku Klux Klan
Wow so true
And furthermore, they’re african lions so they're black.
Because the writers of The Lion King said oops we forgot 😮😮😮
They didn’t forget they just didn’t know about him cause he a fan made character😂
This where Kopa is geographically
>Every single character who is alive
6th feet under
>Kopa, Mufusa, Scar, Zira and list goes on
People responsible for TLK2 didn’t know Kopa existed, but people decided to use fan theories as fact like naive children… for years… I was a kid when I first heard of it and even I knew he was SEMI-canon, the same rank as Mheetu, Tama, Malka, Tojo, etc.
Honestly I remember the lion king 1 had a short after the credits where Timon and pumba are excited. But then we're told it's a daughter. So my head cannon always thought the missing cub was vitani
If kopa is older than he should have been the future king.
Exactly not kovu ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The theory says he disappeared away from the pride lands so he wouldn't die from zira for real this time so if he went back zira would notice him going back so that's why he can't be king no more
I still think kopa is not really canon to the lion King movies because that company made those books without Disney’s permission and when they did, they were kinda of mad about it to in a way they don’t wanna mention kopa at all so in way he is not Cannon so we’re gonna have to admit he does not exist
Honestly, we have three different universes is what I’m thinking. One with Koba, one with Kira and one with Kion.
No kion was born in mufasa lion king
at the end of the lion king 2 movie during the fight, vitani was the first one to leave zira and join simba's pride. at that moment she might have recalled what nuka said when he found kopa injured. this could be one of the strongest points that vitani might have considered before leaving her mother along with seeing how badly zira wanted simba dead.
Kopa is not even associated with lion king or Disney 😂 so your theory is pointless
@bccdream435 u cant say it's not associated with Disney when the books got licensed from Disney
@ * As Alex Simmons confirms here, Kopa was never truly affiliated with Disney, and was solely his creation with Disney's label.
Or that cub is just named Fluffy cuz at the time, they didn't think about adding a sequel. Or even have a storyline for lion king 2
Here is your answer different artist not same artist who helped make first movie. They redrew the opening scene from the end scene still same cub just drawn differently because The Lion King 2 was not even a concept as the first movie wrapped production before heading to the theaters. Kopa was a side project written by various authors with Disney's permission.
Actually yeah that makes sense. I thought it was simba 😂😂
Lion King 2 in the deleted scene “Simba’s daughter is a girl!” A girl?!”
Scar do you hear that? (What could’ve happened) “It seems fate is on our side my love. Now there’s not another male to get in the way of our young prince.”
Prove that this is a deleted scene
Where is this scene?
@ Just look up Lion King 2 deleted scenes and it should be there
Wow, thanks! That explains a lot!
1:02 why was that photo a bit unsettling for me :’)
I think Disney just didn't plan the second movie. But I love to think about the first cub as being Kopa.
It also explains why Simba was so protective over Kiara later.
I feel like the books and movies are different because they needs mention kopa and they might've not had permission to use the character so they made kiara and kion instead. They might be making them like different universes.
maybe Kopa is in the new loin king movie "Mufasa The lion king" and Kopa is Mufasas brother but Kopa is a boy instead of a girl? An they wanted Kopa back in the series!
Please pin this
Help I was trying so hard to keep up with the movies while watching this 😭
This is inspiring me to do a fanfic series where Kopa leaves the Pride Lands out of shame leading up to my AU where Kovu successfully kills Simba just as Zira had planned. I will admit I’ve never read The Lion King Six New Adventures but I do understand Kopa is a controversial character. There are some fans that consider him canon while others say he’s not. I believe those that say he’s not canon.
If Kopa was to be included, I think he would've been an evil lion. Perfect, young;strong alliance for Scar to work with if you ask me.
I think your theory is pretty good 👍🏽
There are loads of possibilities, maybe he was killed but since sarabi wasnt in other movies since the voice actor died they needed a way to sadly- kill the character off. Zira sees kopa and sarabi, wanting revenge over scar's death. Sarabi throws her life on the line and dies protecting Kopa. Kopa runs away during the attack. He leaves the pridelands and is never seen again. It could be like Simba's childhood but Kopa wasnt found by anyone.
Wait I didn’t know Simba had a son but Zira was my favorite one I just like her and the song you are putting and the arts this reminds me of a scary Netflix, movie
Kopa isn't cannon. We will have to accept that, even though he is loved by all. It be nice if he was.
I hope one day disney introduce kopa in any lion king movie and he will become the king of pride land after simba.
I remember Kopa Afua Nuka Vitani were friends i also remember that Zira injured Kopa and took him to the out lands to die after that Nuka saw Kopas body covered in injuries and blood then Kopa went and Kopa was never seen again i remember that the two cubs were different the cub in the first movie was probably Kopa also Kopa had another name it was fluffy then in the second movie the second cub was Kiara it was cute when Kopa and Afua were best friends after that Kovu and Kiara were born Simba told Kiara not to go to far away because Simba was worried that the same thing may happen to Kiara and Kovu and Kiara were in the lake standing on top of crocodiles Zira was spying on Kovu and Kiara Simba and Nala had two sons Kopa and Kion and One daughter called Kiara Mufasa and Sarabi have one grandaughter named Kiara two grandsons Kopa and Kion dose that mean that Scar is the great uncle of Kion Kiara and Kopa dose that mean Nalas mother Sarafina is Simbas auntie Mufasa and Sarabi are the parents of Simba
I don’t think so from what I’ve heard about the new prequel that airs at theaters starting the end of this week the 20.
Is it
I think that explains why simba is so controlling and protective over Kiara I think. I never really understood why he had that shift in attitude in the second movie but this makes sense if it happened inbetween
1:02 Its Just Graphical Upgrades Bro.... Bcz Everything Is More Colourful In The Second Lion King.... Including Simba.
If Zira killed him, that put her on top of the Disney villain chart as she YEETED A CHILD. And she didn't pounce when he was an infant. She waited until Kopa was old enough to be greatly known by everyone, to have a relationship with his parents, to have him already planning out his dreams and then she sniped him.
the actual explanation is what he said in the beginning, the cub was named fluffy and LK2 wasn't planned, the reason the ceremonies are different because LK2 was made years later an they forgot
I'm not hating, btw
Bro is onto nothing💯🗣️🔥🔥
I swear
What’s the name of the Music at 1:53?
The theories would explain why Simba is always so stressed especially when he was not scared after Scar’s death
After the release of Mufasa I think another theory could be that kovu and kopa are the same person. The colors are similar I think it’s been a while since I’ve watched it. It could be completely stupid but just my take. Honestly the colors of the lions in the outlands are darker than the pride lands and it could have something to do with the environment, maybe something tints their fur in a way, meaning his coat could’ve been darkened. Now, I assume that-kovu’s mom idk how tf it’s spelled- did this because she wanted to use simba’s own flesh and blood to get back at him. After all, scar was simba’s uncle, so “mom” felt that simba had betrayed his own family, so she sent kopa to do the same to simba.
Awww that’s ok Kopa maybe your name changed like Scars did. I have a cat that took up with us named fluffy~💗💫 I always did think it was odd that Zira presented Kovu to Simba like that…
It’s cuz he’s wasn’t real, somebody asked Disney if they can make these books
I want the lion king 3
My guess is that he had amnesia forgetting his name and then was adopted by zira
The first Lion King the cub was simba and the 2nd was simbas daughter Kiara 😅 and simba does have a son his name is kion he has his own show.
Id like to believe was kopa was adapted into kion in the series, cause they have resemblances. So basically to me fluffy was probably attacked by a predator or zira, and then simba became overprotective of kiara because he already lost 1 heir, and then theres lots of videos explaining different ways to explain kopa/kion not being in either movie, cause they have similar personalities too, so since simba worried more bout protecting his heir, he let kion run rampant cause he had rafikki and the others and had proved responsible enough do to a fierceness that kiara didnt have yet til she was older while kopa/kion was at the tree of life. I rest my case, it makes my brain happy to think that way
I’m really sure that Kopa was the firstborn cub of Simba and Nala, not Kiara.
Kopa doesn't exist in the Disney canon of the Lion King universe
I don’t think this means anything but I realized that all of Nala and simba’s kids names all start with a K for example Kion,Kiara and Kopa even Kovu so what if Kovu is really Kopa but zira got into his head and now had him on her side and kinda memory washed him
Edit: and she never really killed him and just got him to kill simba for him
Edit 2: Ik Kovu is a different color but idk this is just a theory that I made up in my head lol
2 ceremonies first movie was kopa he was murdered by zira as a way of revenge because she didn’t know hyenas killed scar not Simba so zira killed kopa and the second movie Nala looks a teensy bit older and she carried kiara to rafiki
WHY IS THIS SO DRAMATIC IM CRYING
Bro Simba and nala not worried😂
I remember seeing things about Kopa a lot some years ago.
STOP I'M GIGGLING..WHY DO THE EVENT SOUNDS SOUND LIKE SO SERIOUS AND DRAMATIC WHILE HIS VOICE SOUNDS SO DEPRESSING LIKE THAT GUY WHO DOE THE TOP 6 VIDEOS.. 😭😭
I mean in first movie, there were many little cubs that were never introduced to. So I always thought same thing with the 2nd movie. They just wanted Kiara to be like Simba, befriend Kovu, and unite the two prides. Vitani, Kiara, and Kovu are clearly close in age. They would have aged a year already and Kiara would remember Kopa. So the theory is a great listen but it's still off. 👍🏽
Kopa isn't a Disney character
Kopa rlly looks like Kion 😮
I what I was thinking
@@jcatskywalker886 More Kion looks like Kopa since he literally existed before him.
Where can I buy/read lion king six new adventures someone please reply to this comment
They said that the first cub was named fluffy but I still think it is kopa
Yes I included him in my universe and I think zeta had something to do with Kopas disappearance.
But in the movie mufasa simba&Nala have a son
That’s kion 😂
According to google
My question was kopa there in the lion King
Here is answer from Google 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
Kopa DOESN'T exist in the sequel, nor in any of the movies or novels except for the Six New Adventures. Anyway, Kopa is the son of Simba and Nala, an only child. He is the prince and the sole Heir of the Pride Lands. He simply doesn't exist.
But I believe so that kopa exist
I'm pretty sure in the new mufasa live action he was in the very end as a sibling to kiara
Kopa deserves to live😢😢
I always thought it was odd when Kiara was told to stay in the path that simba had marked for her, what if when kopa was alive in the pride lands and did not have that path. The paw prints are too shallow when we see them.
Sarabi wasn’t in lion king 2 because the actress died
Zero killed coppa when he was a curve there was a huge fight between Simba and zero they decided to switch carbs for a week and 0 never got along with Copa so see and Copa is always was so curious he decided to see her as his mother but zero there and take it well and killed him see let them in the rain to die alone and if you search up The Lion King songs there is one specific song that goes that goes out napo kaise you can see the Copa in there was so scared he decided to run but he wasn't fast enough so zero killed him and left him to die and found Simba and took him to coppa and let him grief alone that's the reason why we have never seen coppa he died before Nala was even born
Copa is still alive he hasn't been here with us in any of the seasons of the lion pride the he still there if you look closely you will see that in one of the songs of The Lion King that we used to sort of you can see he actually his spirit still though is still alive with us
There is a song from people to know where did cobra and what happened to him the song is called go and search in your on your phone The Lion King songs the name of that song is copozz death
The books lion king six new adventures is non canon and no been released by Disney
Exactly 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Well I asked Google and it said Zire killed kopa
Bruhhh no one knows who Kopa is 😭 😭 if he existed, he would be future king. Just listen to what Disney said. They literally made the movies
I was about to say about kopa
that can explain why Simba is so overprotective of losing Kiara too in Simba Pride
No it’s because of what happened to him?
@TSSTUDIOS958don't bother with them, it's just kids not understanding the movies and being easy influenced by fanfiction
@@basiarokoszak3850 Dang
Well that escalated quickly
I want them to make a Lion King 3 Kopa comes back and explains what happened to him when he was younger and that he's back

i've watched the lion king over 100 times its my fav diseny movie and i never notest it till now
isnt that crazy XD
❤❤😢😢 I can’t believe she almost killed Kapo ❤❤❤😢😢
I want Disney to come up with a story for Kopa. Instead of doing that in the first place, they made up a whole different character: Kion. I mean was Kion really relevent? Don't get me wrong I like the Lion Guard but they should have went with something like Kopa's story since it's in the books (even if it's not by Disney themselves\they just gave permission to write the books) I'm sure Disney was aware of what the books were about (Whoever wrote the books basically gave Disney an idea of giving them Kopa so they can maybe introduce him and his story) and instead Disney just left that and focused on Kion, who's story is way more complicated and people had to make sense of it themselves.
Shiiish, people's been talking about Kopa since forever in the Lion Guard fandom. So many videos on this theme. Is this "The bite of 87" of the Lion Guard fandom?
Maybe kopa is illegitimate cup.
They look different because legit the first movie is about Mufasa child which is Simba and then the next one is about Simba’s child the girl kiara and then they make the lion guard which is about all that stuff. I don’t feel like explaining it.
My favorite non canon character after Kovu.
The only male cub Simba & Nala had was Kion
What about kion he’s part of this family as well!!!!
This video should've just said 'Because Kopa's not a real Disney character' and be done with it but OK.

Is that a confession?
@@eeveefennecfoxYou said that on my comment, you’re very annoying 💀
