Peole are always way to quick in assuming that they just join forces as if its a done deal certain to happen. But its more the exception than the rule.

Aslong DM is territorial. His priority will be defending that position. Even if he has to attack his own sons.
And if he is ousted he needs to be able to hold his own. If he busts a leg in the process. No lion will go easy on him becouse he feels sorry.

The only rule about lions is that every rule has its exceptions.

Sizanani helping his brother, literally feeding him, could be called charity, perhaps.

Nhenha and Nkuhuma went easy on Limper, not because they were sorry ofc, that would be anthropomorphism, but because he was in a condition that he did not present a threat and indeed died some weeks later.

Ofc lions usually join forces by being around each other, getting used to each other and bonding over time. It is not a magical switch, but a lot depends on the approach durign first contacts, that video of the male in Masai Mara deliberately approaches two males they were expected to kill him, in submissive way is certainly a different dynamic than two nomad feeding next to each other on big enough carcass they managed to find, the former is bit closer to one decisive moment back up by improved familiarity and bonding in next weeks than most situations. There is a lot infighting in some coalitions more than others to the extent that at times somebody not knowing the individuals culd hardly tell they are coalition partners. Reply
