48
Humans at the base camp, including Lucifer, Joe, and Kutter, alongside Donga tribe members, attempt to capture Kimba using a recording of Panja’s roar. Although Kimba recognizes the deception, he approaches the humans to investigate. Lucifer shoots Kimba with a tranquilizer dart, intending to reserve a direct confrontation with the white lion for himself. Weakened by the drug, Kimba flees toward the dangerous forest to escape. Lucifer and Joe pursue him into the swampy terrain while others remain too fearful to enter. The dense vegetation allows Kimba to hide inside a tree hollow until the tranquilizer wears off. Seeing his prey escape, Lucifer abandons the chase and vows that a future battle between him and the white lion is inevitable.
