Trivia

 * Moral: Everyone should get a second chance
 * "Kupatana" means "harmony" in Swahili.
 * The way Kion lunges onto Janja to save Dogo and Kijana is similar to when Simba lunges onto Nala to protect Timon and Pumbaa in the first Lion King film. In addition, Janja's expression when he sees Kion jumping towards him is very similar to Nala's when she saw Simba.
 * This is the second episode that Kion does not use the Roar of the Elders.
 * The species of Jackals debut in this episode.
 * The villains Reirei and Goigoi debut in this episode, as do their pups (both young and teenage)
 * Their adopted lioness cub, Kiji, also debuts in this episode, although she's only referred to by her nickname Ki, and it's only in the final scene.
 * Kion and Nyota sing their first duet of Little Star and the Lion Guard Adventures. This is their first duet of the television series and their second duet overall.
 * Their first duet was in the pilot film Little Star and the Roar's Return.
 * Kion and Nyota sing the version of "Circle of Life" as recorded by Sir Elton John. The version is also condensed for time constraints.
 * Zazu notes that Kion and Nyota act similar to Simba and Nala when they were cubs, referencing the first Lion King film. It's also seen they bear a striking resemblance to them as well (Kion having golden fur like his father did and Nyota having lighter cream shades like Nala did.)
 * During the Kupatana Celebration, Shaba is seen standing between two adults from the Pride, who are, in fact, his parents.
