Companions (仲間 "Fellows") ("Flash Flood" in the '98 English Dub) is the 9th episode of The New Adventures of Kimba the White Lion (Jungle Emperor 1989).
Said by Kimba (Leo) in previous episode's "Next time on" segment: (Translated from Japanese)
"During a storm, I met Manua. Manua used to live with humans and is about to have a calf. But now, a human with a gun is hunting Manua!.. 'Manua come live with us in Panja's jungle!'"
Plot[]
The episode opens with Kimba (Leo), Tommy (T.K.), Coco, and Kurosaji getting all of the animals in the Jungle to high ground before the storm can flood the Jungle. During this, Flora gets killed and swept away by the flash flood, and Kimba finds Pago (Sierra) and later a domestic cow named Manwela. He brings them both back to his den to wait out the storm. After the storm passes, Manwela tries to get back home, telling Kimba that she can't live in the wild as she is domesticated. Kimba decides to give her a day in the Jungle to let her decide for herself. He tries to find homes for both Sierra and Manwela, but with no luck.
Manwela eventually reaches the plains, and considers actually staying, but she sees her owner and saves Kimba (Leo), getting shot. She gives birth to her calf before she dies, and the calf is taken back home with the farmer. Leo returns to the Jungle and finds that Pago (Sierra) is adopted to another herd.
