Most males will be reluctant to keep charging until they come to blows, if the other lions are also charging.

The lion instincts will be like "hey if these lions are charging at us they must be strong and dangerous, otherwise they'd be running, so I better run myself".

Even the PCM who are males that liked to act this way, charging without a second thought to intimidate the opposition, and seemed confident in a fight, being big and powerful, were like "damn they are charging back, maybe we should be more cautious here."

Ndhzengas are just way too confident, if they don't deteriorate soon and aren't unlucky to get catch alone, I find it difficult to see them getting ousted if not being outnumbered, they can remain in power until their current offspring are independent.

Still, these very bold and confident males are also the ones who usually get caught and killed. Like, if PCM or Mantimahle had held their ground until they forced a fight, then suddenly in a brawl, things would be tough against such big, strong lions.

Still these Ndhzengas probably won't abandon each other and in a 2v2, even if they get dominated in the fight, they aren't likely getting killed or badly injured. 1v1 fights between lions rarely end up with serious injuries.

I felt the same way about the S Avocas, though I believe they were a little bigger than the Nwas, and bulkier as well, especially the one who perished. Though, I have never seen the Nwas when they were not in peak physical condition, every time we see them, including just recently, they look fantastic. 

To this day I do not believe the S Avocas ever abandoned one another. When we saw the remaining S Avoca, at the time when the other first disappeared, he had injuries implying he'd been in a fight with someone. Given how close they were, having been at each other's side their entire lives, I think he was at his side until the bitter end. I see the Nwas as being equally close, and the PCMs for that matter (until just recently, when we have begun seeing them being far away from one another), so whatever happens in their future, I would expect them to go through it together.
