@Chish:

1) This is fiction. And in fiction a lion's roar is magnificent and able to put everyone in place. So even if real lions roar shittily, that's not important.

A lion's roar, in fiction, for me is like some rumbling BOOM. For comparison, a jaguar or leopard's roar is more like some growling lightning to me. And which kind of roar did Ghira do?

2) Yes, his hair is black. But the design, the appearance, resembles a lion's mane. The overall appearance makes him look like a black lion.

Also, just gonna clarify: Black Panther, not just Panther, Black Panther. Which is why I said "Leopard, Jaguar or Puma".

Which in hindsight was stupid of me since Black Panthers are strictly just Leopards and Jaguars, there aren't "Black Pumas".

All that said, remember: Ghira is not an animal. He's not an actual lion, jaguar, puma, tiger or whatever. He doesn't need to resemble any of those animals to the letter.

And he's not the only one. Sienna didn't have orange skin with a white belly like a tiger. Does that make her not a tiger faunus, even with the tattoos?

Same here. His hair resembles a lion's. And his roar resembles a (stereotypical) lion's. He's black-haired, but that doesn't mean he couldn't possibly be a Lion Faunus.

Besides, his allusion is irrelevant. Since when was it said that alluding to X fictional animal character dictated that a Faunus would be the same animal? Does Adam look like a giant furry ogre to you? Does Neon look like a white cat with a muffin body to you?

Bagheera was a black panther. Doesn't mean Ghira is one as well. There is no law that says that.

And if they were aiming for "Black Panther" in his design, that explains the black, but fails to explain his lion-like appearance.
