Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed/Relationships

The relationships of Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed.
==Allies==
===Scar===
They had a good relationship with Scar as they both conspired to kill the king and take over the grasslands in order to feed on whatever they wanted, in doing so Scar rose as the new king and allowed the hyenas to enter the kingdom and feed freely. Shortly after in Simba's final battle against Scar, he tried to stop him by saying that the Hyenas were responsible for everything, unaware that the three heard Scar selling them out. As a result, the three and all the other Hyneas ended up killing Scar by eating him Alive.
==Enemies==
===Simba and Nala===
At first, they saw him threatening when they entered their territory and chatted in a terrifying way to them that they both wanted to eat them because they were still cubs, however when Simba asked Shenzi if she should hunt someone who is tiny, she told him "Like you?" before proceeding with a chase between cub and predator.
Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed would not interact with Nala again during the film, but with Simba, when Scar ordered them to kill the cub in an effort to devour him, however they threatened him from far away, yelling at him that if he ever returned, they would kill him.
When Simba does return to the Pride Lands years later, the hyenas are frightened that their lie to Scar has been exposed, but eventually come to Scar's defense in the battle against Simba's pride and friends before they turn on Scar once he is defeated. Simba and Nala's current relationship with the hyenas is unknown, however it is likely they remained enemies despite their now disloyalty to Scar as they are not seen together in the sequels.
===Zazu===
The hyenas are also Zazu's enemies as he also puts him through worse times like when they put him in a geyser to send him flying through the air as a warning to Mufasa, later during Scar's reign, Scar orders the hyenas to eat Zazu even though they couldn't do it due to lack of food in the grasslands, later in the final battle, Shenzi and Banzai planned to eat both him and Timon, only to be defeated by an enraged Pumbaa after being called pig.
===Mufasa===
The three hyenas are afraid of Mufasa since he is responsible for keeping them away so as not to hunt anything, so on that occasion he attacked them and got angry with the three when they tried to eat his son, this could be considered to be enemies as he threatened them not to ever go near Simba again. Since in real life hyenas and lions are natural rivals, as is the case with Mufasa and hyenas, despite that after the incident Scar conspired the hyenas to kill his brother and thus occupy the throne.
===Timon and Pumbaa===
They are his arch-enemies since they both prefer to devour them as food and thus feed freely, so during the final battle, Shenzi and Banzai chased Timon who took refuge in the cage where Zazu was, Pumbaa when seeing this throws a tantrum when Banzai says pig and charges at them while Ed watched them scared, this the same happened in the film of the Lion King 1½ where this time, Timon tried to propose to Shenzi to the surprise of herself and just when she was about to kill Pumbaa along with Ma and uncle Max, fell next to the hole in which he was standing and that served as a trap along with the other hyenas while all of them let out a scream of defeat until they reached the point where they betrayed Scar.
==Family==
===Janja===
Nothing is known about their relationship, it is only known that Janja is a descendant of Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed's clan.
