[[WMG: A good guy hyena who is portrayed as TheWoobie will be introduced in a future episode to show not all hyenas are bad guys]]
Most likely Kion or Bunga will act like a total JerkAss towards the good hyena and there will be FantasticRacism tension in the episode but in the end, the hyena winds up saving one of the lion guards' lives and becomes a friend of the lion guard.

* If this does indeed happen, it would resemble early drafts of ''Simba's Pride'' (Zira was originally going to lead the hyenas, but it was scrapped due to Scar's death at the hands of said hyenas). Considering she blames Simba for Scar's demise instead of the hyenas, this isn't too farfetched.

Janja mentioned other Outsiders at one point during "Return of the Roar". It is possible he was talking about Zira and her pride.

Even though Mufasa and Scar never saw eye to eye, the former does seem to care for the latter a lot. When Scar killed off the members of his Guard, Mufasa let him off because 1) he figured Scar learned the consequences of trying to usurp the throne, and 2) he didn't have the heart to exile his own brother, even though he essentially committed an act of high treason.

During ''Return of the Roar'', several cave paintings are seen adorning the walls of the Lion Guard's lair. One in particular stands out; Scar appears in the clouds, looking down at the Outlands (specifically, the volcano where the hyenas reside). Perhaps at some point, he will play some role in their scheme (acting as a counterpart to Mufasa, whose spirit aids Kion and his friends).

[[WMG: The hyenas are all that remain of the clan seen in Disney/TheLionKing]]
The hyena's number seem vastly smaller when compared to the original movie. Janja's clan most likely escaped from Pride Rock during the battle between Simba and Scar, and weren't around to witness Scar's betrayal (and subsequently die in the flames).

[[WMG: Alternately, Kion and the rest of the Guard were on a Walkabout during the latter part of "Simba's Pride".]]
They all realized that they couldn't become the best they could be staying in the Pridelands and realizing that the Pridelands needed the absolute best, Kion lead his friends on a trip to reach their full potential. They returned some time after the end of "Simba's Pride". Kion likely then served as his new brother-in-law's adviser until Kovu got a better feel for the Pridelands and its inhabitants, at which point Kion resumed leadership of the Lion Guard (possibly leaving it in Bunga or Fuli's paws until he was available again).

Halfway through the first season (or even the first episode), she'll reveal she was a girl all along, and be rather irritated that her fellow hyenas couldn't tell the difference. When they try to defend themselves, saying she looks and sounds like a dude, she'll point out that ALL female hyenas look and sound like males. This will provide a learning point for kids, as well as a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

Since Kiara, being Kion's older sister, is still a cub in the show, Kion leaving the Pride Lands to start his own pride would be the best way to explain his absence (or lack-of-existence, given he's a newly introduced character) from "Simba's Pride" when Kiara is all grown up.

[[WMG: Timon and Pumbaa are Bunga's uncles]]
In the sneak peek, Bunga says "Hakuna Matata" is what his uncles always say. The duo ''did'' adopt a lion cub in the original film, so it's not too much of a stretch for them to be a honey badger's uncle.

[[WMG: Kovu will make an appearance]]
As of now it has been stated otherwise. But maybe further in the series, who knows? At least Kiara will be in it.
