Ep 9. Ono's Idol

Ono's Idol is the ninth episode of the second season of the animated TV series The Lion Guard. The episode follows Ono, the egret, as he searches for a new role model after hearing that his idol, Hadithi the legendary eagle, will be visiting the Pride Lands.

Ono is excited to meet Hadithi, but when he finally gets the chance, he is disappointed to find out that the eagle is not as heroic as he had imagined. The Lion Guard witnesses Hadithi struggling to fly due to an injured wing and attempting to cover it up with false bravery instead of seeking help.

Ono is heartbroken and feels lost without his idol. Kion, the leader of the Lion Guard, encourages Ono to find a new role model whom he can look up to. Ono is initially unsure but decides to take Kion's advice and sets out to find someone who embodies the same qualities as his previous idol.

Meanwhile, the Lion Guard faces a new threat as a group of hyenas attempt to steal a herd of zebras. Kion and the rest of the Guard step in to stop the hyenas, but they quickly realize that their usual tactics are not working as well as they should.

After consulting with Ono, the Lion Guard realizes that their tactics need to be adjusted and they should take a page from the zebras' playbook and rely on teamwork to defeat their foes. Together, they work to successfully protect the zebras and drive away the hyenas.

Ono realizes that he does not need to have an idol to be a strong and brave egret. He learns that he can draw inspiration from those around him, especially his friends in the Lion Guard who stand by his side no matter what.

In the end, Ono finds a new role model in Anga, a new egret who has joined the Lion Guard. Ono sees a lot of himself in Anga, but also admires her sense of confidence and ability to adapt to new situations. The episode ends with Ono embracing his new role model and excited to continue his journey of growth and self-discovery.

Overall, Ono's Idol is a heartwarming episode about acceptance and finding inspiration in unexpected places. It showcases the importance of being adaptable and open-minded, and emphasizes the value of trust and teamwork.
