One evening, animals assembled at the Tree of Life to witness Kion's coronation. Kion approached Rani, who expressed her pleasure at his return and asserted that she looked forward to ruling with him. Makini painted a ceremonial mark on Kion's forehead, then presented him to the gathered crowd. As their friends and family cheered, Kion told Rani that they would make a good team, to which she replied that they already were. They then roared alongside one another.
