EDIT: Updated my theory with more info/alterations. EDIT 2: Having seen some of the new episodes, I feel I can revise the list a bit again. It also seems that I had forgotten to put Mind on the list of secondary elements So with the recent revelations that Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Ice are NOT the only elements, and that Wind is apparently an element, I'm a little curious as to how Ninjago elements actually WORK. Since there are (as for as we know) only 4 golden weapons, that would seem to imply that fire, earth, lightning, and ice are the main elements. Does that mean other elements are derived from those elements? Do the "secondary" elements make up the main ones or do the main ones combine to make the secondary ones? Is Wind even an element? How do golden power, creation, darkness, and destruction fit into all of this? Can any four elements combine to form Creation (as in either Mega-Weapon or Tornado of Creation), or does it require the four "main" elements? What are your theories or opinions? Post them below! My theory is this: All elements can be used in Spinjitzu and Airjitzu, although Wind is rather redundant in both, though it is possible that Wind Spinjitzu/Airjitzu is more powerful than other elements, in terms of how much "Elemental power" there is. The ninjas' elements (minus Lloyd) are the main elements, and other elements are combinations of them. Light & Shadow (Used by the Elemental Masters) are distinct from Creation & Destruction, the supposed elements of Sensei Wu and the formerly evil Lord Garmadon, until he turned good. It is possible that Lord Garmadon was using Shadow in the pilot episodes when he did the whole Kai VS. Garmadon Fire Temple battle. And during that episode where Lord Garmadon is staying on the Destiny Bounty on the search for Lloyd, he appears to use a dark form of lightning at one point, which is obviously not a Shadow power, and therefore might be a Destruction power, especially when you see his Spinjitzu character card which depicts his element as being Destruction and showing him using dark lightning. Then we have Golden Power and Darkness/EVIL, the former being used by Lloyd until the events of Rebooted, and the latter being used by the Overlord. These could be the same as Creation and Destruction, though they appear to be much more powerful. My theory on the combinations is as follows: HIGH-POWER SUPER ELEMENTS Golden Power - Ultimate combination of all 4 main elements and possibly also Light. A rare higher-power form of Creation + Green Power/Energy - Used by Lloyd (during the Golden Ninja era) and First Spinjitzu Master.Darkness/EVIL - Probably a higher-power form of Destruction that is possibly a dark, unbalanced combination of the 4 main elements and possibly also Shadow. Used by the Overlord.LOWER-POWER SUPER ELEMENTS Creation - An equal balance of the 4 main elements. Low-power version of Golden Power. Used by Sensei Wu and Sensei Garmadon. Lloyd possibly uses a more powerful form of Creation, allowing him to fire balls of green energy from his hands and create things out of thin air (like the motorcycle he made in "The Titanium Ninja"), as well as transform existing vehicles (like the 4-wheeled vehicle in "Ninja Roll"). It is possible this is because Sensei Wu's Creation is the same level of power as the ninja of the 4 main elements, meaning he is not a master of any one element, and Lloyd's is equal to the full power of all 4 elements combined.Destruction - An out-of-balance combination of the 4 main elements. Used by evil Lord Garmadon and probably the Overlord. Possibly a low-power version of Darkness/EVIL.(?) Energy/Green Power - Lloyd's ability to shoot green balls of energy doesn't appear to be a power that Sensei Wu or Garmadon have, so it is possible that Lloyd's Creation element includes some sort of additional power allowing him to do this. This appears to be a lower-power version of the golden balls of energy in Golden Power. It could be its own element or just the offensive side of Lloyd's Creation element. PRIMARY ELEMENTS Fire - KaiIce - ZaneEarth - ColeLightning - JaySECONDARY ELEMENTS Sound - Jacob PevsnerSpeed - Griffin TurnerGravity - GravisMind - NeuroPoison - ToxMetal - KarlofWater - Nya, Lar (if canon)Smoke - AshNature - BoloboForm - ChamilleLight - PalemanShadow - ShadeAmber/Absorption - Skylor (now lost)Wind - Morro It can be really confusing to understand the elements involving light and darkness, good and evil. Light & Shadow are confirmed to be elements, though they are apparently different from the elements of Creation and Destruction, Sensei Wu using the former and Lord Garmadon using the latter. And then you have to throw in the Golden Ninja Lloyd's Golden Power, as well as the Overlord's Darkness/Evil power. Golden Power does not appear to be the same as Creation, and the same applies for Destruction and Darkness/Overlord Power. And then Lloyd's Green Power is there. At first I thought this was a separate element from Creation and possibly a weaker form of Golden Power, but I had forgotten about that scene in "The Titanium Ninja" where he creates a motorcycle out of thin air, which means that he does in fact use the element of Creation, albeit at a much higher power level than Sensei Wu, as he is able to create balls of energy to use as a weapon. So yeah, this is all very confusing. What do you think? What are your theories? Feel free to discuss them here!

Where do YOU think Lego got the name NINJAGO from? -
This is Ninjago's new set coming this August with the other Ninjago sets. It costs $100.00 and Go to Lego's Ninjago website to see it. http://www.lego.com/en-us/ninjago/products/70732-city-of-stiix Although, Ninjago's set "Temple" is going to be on a delay. It is said to be arriving in the month SEPTEMBER.

Ok here is the picture and LOOK VERY CLOSELY: It LOOKS like his symbol is Lloyd's and the FIRST SPINJITZU MASTER's SYMBOL. At least that's what I see. I know it CAN'T be his symbol, but IS it??? Oh, and he's also wearing a SIMILAR suit to the ninja's FIRST suits. Do you guys think that this is CRAZY, or is it JUST me?

Take your pick, please. If you don't see the poll, tell me.

Hello everyone! I am new here and I want to discuss about Ninjago summer 2015. It looks like their new enemy are Morro(which means hill), and ghosts. And season 6 is coming out sometime in either July or August. Please tell me your thoughts.

Since Cartoon Network aired the last 5 episodes in a week (probably to air them before the second half with the ghost ninja) and since previous topics generated little or no response I thought I'd combine the recaps and review of the last 4 episodes. Spoilers Ahead You have been Warned. Episode 7: The Forgotten Element Alternate Title: 'Does this seem kind of familiar to you?' Recap: So Chen rounds up the remaining contestants except for Lloyd and promptly steals all their powers. (I'll get to this in the review.) Skylor (I'm dropping the Mortal Kombat monikers since they dropped the tournament pretense). Skylor asks that Kai be spared and Chen agrees even trying to recruit the red ninja to the dark side. When Lloyd, Nya and Garmadon sneak in, they are betrayed by an unconvincing dark Kai. Garmadon grabs Skylor to extort Chen, but Chen calls his bluff. This causes an Incredibles-type conversion in Skylor. Elsewhere, the losers have built their jet. It can't fly but still has weapons so they use it to bust out. They save Nya and Garmadon on their way to freedom. It's a grand melee as Chen is about to gain all the powers. But Skylor nicks the staff, after a mad scramble the staff breaks and everyone regains their powers. The defeat the cultist, but Chen, Clouse and Skylor escape. The ninja are reunited and the bad guy is defeated, so why are there 3 more episodes and why do I have this uneasy feeling that things are about to get worse. Review: First, lets settle this power stealing rubbish right here. So Chen could steal anyone's power at any time. Why set up this tournament? Why not seek out each master and steal their power while they are alone and vulnerable? How is this banishment enforced? These aren't critical questions, but still plot holes that make the ride very bumpy. Kai's betrayal and act felt low stakes. His fight for control against the staff was ok, but not much above that. You can see scenes lifted from James Bond, the Incredibles and X-men here. The fight between the Masters and the cultists could have lasted longer. Overall, it is ok, but you can tell this isn't the finale or even the end of this particular bad guy.

Hello out there Ptah here. Since the latest episode has been up for a while, I thought I'd get the topic thread rolling. I'll add my own snark-tastic spin down below, but I'll need to change it up. When I commented on earlier episodes, they had been out for a month or more. Long enough that spoilers didn't feel necessary. These more recent ones will get the spoiler treatment. Ninjago Season 5 Episode 39 "Spy for a Spy" Summary: The Ninja Alliance faces trust issues that could tear it apart before the next round in the Tournament of Elements. Nya reunites with Kai and the others and snoops out the spell on page 149. In the Labyrinth, Cole frees Zane and make plans to bust everyone out. Spoilers Ahead You've been warned Episode 39 - Spy for a Spy Alternate Title - "Crouching Kabuki, Hidden Snake" We interrupt your March Madness for a little game of 'I've got a secret'. The Ninja are feeling smug about their alliance. Of the remaining eight only Shadow is not on board. Tsang hears about this and shreds their alliance by adding his staff of powers to the purse. In the B-plot shelf, Cole manages to steal the cell keys and free Zane. Nya and Dareth make it to Chen's stronghold. They dress Nya up as a Kabuki dancer and she contacts the Ninja and manages to steal the spell on page 149. These two plots take the spotlight while the Ninja figure out who is the spy in their group. Shadow acts suspicious so the naturally accuse him. Kitana acts straight up helpful. If you are over 10 you know where this is going. Kitana's the spy; Shadow's the patsy. Oh and Jay injuries his leg. As if he wasn't useless enough before. Nya is found out and Clouse gives chase. This leads to a Crouching Tiger-esque running battle that's pretty cool. Nya escapes into the Jungle with the spell. Cole and Zane stay to free the other prisoners. And Chen and Kitana plan their endgame for the Ninja and the Tournament.

Here's a theme where doing it anime style is appropriate, Ninjago! Here I made a giant banner containing all five Ninja in their new outfits in the 2015 story arc. I'll also be doing more Ninjago fan art as well, seeing as how this and my anime style mesh more easily than BIONICLE.

Greetings! Right above this, you will see a poll. Personally, I think Master Chen and Pythor are the best Ninjago villains we have seen so far, and that the Overlord is a horrible villain and character. My reasons: Master Chen and Pythor P. Chumsworth are such unique and enjoyable characters, which is part of the reason why I love them as villains. They are also great plotters and manipulators. Master Chen owns a noodle franchise, has a presumably French assistant, loves theatrics, and controls an Anacondrai cult, whilst Pythor is basically a snake version of Sideshow Bob. What's not to like? On the other hand, the Overlord is an awful character. He has this silly grumbling voice that makes him sound more like an eight-year-old doing an impression of Dr. Claw than an intimidating master of darkness, needs everyone around him to help him to have a mere physical form, and needs the power that almost destroyed him in order to resurrect him... wait... what? Oh, and, he was defeated by both an outdated robot and a teenager wearing a golden kimono. Pathetic.

So, what does the everybody think?

Those Ninjago sets look pretty good but I know next to nothing about the plot of Ninjago. So here's my guess as to what the plot of Ninjago is, based on nothing but the sets: 2011: Ninjas start being trained by the old beard guy to defeat the evil skeletons, who threaten to destroy the ninjas for some reason. There's also some evil dude named Marmalade or something who commands them who's pretty much the Makuta of Ninjago as I understand it. They succeed and the skeletons get punched out of 2011 to 2015 Bonkle where they will enact their revenge on the Toa. Marmalade survives though. 2012: Marmalade decides to do the exact same thing he did with skeletons, but this time with snakes as skeletons were too bony, so he is now in command of the skeletons. The Ninja get upgrades somehow and this green dude comes out of nowhere, kind of like Takanuva did for the Toa Nuva except this guy wasn't a normal guy who put on a Ninja hood of green and transformed into a ninja like how Takua put on the Avohkii and transformed into Takanuva. Snake dudes are also poisonous. 2013: Not much happened this year except everyone got a vehicle or a creature of some sort to ride to breach a temple of light or something in the hopes of finding the Ninja Hoodvohkii, the Ninja Hood of Light or something. The bad guys are... still Marmalade except with clones this time, as snakes and skeletons didn't work. 2014: The Borg invade Ninjago somehow, which is a city somehow, populated by ninjas probably. They assimilate old beard guy and the white ninja guy with their evil borg ninja while also somehow purifying Marmalade who is now not-evil. He dies heroically probably or turns evil again and it was all a disguise and is killed for it, because he doesn't appear in 2015. Other than that, not much happened this year either. 2015: The snakes return for revenge probably, this time without Marmalade, and also some of them have become human somehow, probably to better combat the ninjas as snakes generally don't have arms or legs although they do have venomous fangs. Or maybe they're evil snake hunters who have killed the snakes and are wearing them on their heads as a show of superiority, in an attempt to threaten the ninjas. There are also mechs loaned from the late HERO Factory, which went bankrupt, because the Ninjas also have a dragon problem in addition to a snake problem. and maybe even later a snake-dragon problem.The only way to win is to beat the snakes or something. Old beard guy is good again too and wants to atone for his crimes probably. I don't know how inaccurate or accurate this is, but... I'm just going to repeat that the Ninjago sets look pretty good. Probably one of the better system themes of this year.

Okay, so I have a couple problems with the new story. Starting with the "masters of the elements." So, where exactly do they fit in? We were told that they are descendants of the original masters of the elements, and that Cole, Kai, Jay, and Zane fit into this category. How does this work, exactly? The First Spinjitzu Master, who was the father of Wu and Garmadon, formed Ninjago using the four elements, represented by the Golden Weapons. Why is there a problem with this? A few reasons. One, because there were only four GWs, of the elements Earth, Fire, Lightning, and Ice. Somewhat related to this, there were only four elemental Dragons. You could argue that other Dragons exist, but we just haven't seen them. Two, if TFSM is the father of Wu and Gamadon, both practitioners of the four elements of Spinjitzu, this would mean that the four ninja (and Nya) are descendants of him, as well. Three, if all these elemental masters have been passing down their powers through the generations for thousands of years, then how old are Wu and Garmadon? Their father was the guy who brought their land into existence, so that means that those two have incredible longevity. However, that doesn't work. Why? One reason: Lloyd. When we first met him, Lloyd was a child, implying that he'd only been around for a few years. This doesn't work. We saw that picture of a younger Wu, Garmadon, and Misako. Garmadon was banished to the Underworld while he and Wu still looked young. This means that the "undead" version of Garmadon actually WAS able to leave the underworld, and he got Misako pregnant. However, we know they hadn't seen each other since before his fall, so that means that it couldn't have happened recently. Okay, I feel like I'm starting to bounce around a lot here, so I'l condense it: Story 1--the Golden Weapons: Ninjago was created thousands of years ago by The First Spinjitzu Master, who was the father of Garmadon and Wu. Garmadon, presumably while he and Wu were still fairly young, fell into the Underworld, and was unable to leave it. Many decades later, after Wu had a chance to age, he trained four young men in the art of Spinjitzu, which manifested in four elements. Story 2--Serpentine/Garmadon's mischief: Garmadon had a son with a woman named Misako before he fell into the Underworld. Lloyd was seen alongside the Ninja (who are depicted as being fairly young, themselves) while he was still just a kid (pre-teen or early teen). If the first story is to be believed, then Lloyd couldn't be Garmadon's son, or Garmadon spent only a few years in the Underworld, and Wu aged significantly in that amount of time. Already the timelines aren't adding up. Story 3--The Overlord: This one mostly follows suit of the first two stories, taking into account the significance of the First Spinjitzu Master and the creation of Ninjago, as well as the importance of the elements (four elemental blades in the Temple of Light). Story 4--Nindroids: Again, this one follows suit of the first few stories, with little retconning. Story 5--Tournament of Elements: Okay, here's where things get screwy. Suddenly, the First Spinjitzu Master (who harnessed the powers of Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Ice, and subsequently passed it on to his sons) is related to Kai, Cole, Jay, and a robot who was built by some guy, and therefore can't bear a genetic connection to the element of Ice. And then there's all these other guys with different powers that have apparently been around since the time of TFSM. "Many generations," Garmadon tells the Ninja, even though there's been only two generations separating Lloyd from TFSM. What's worse is that no one seemed to know about these other powers, until it became convenient for Garmadon to reveal that they had always existed, without any indicators like Golden Weapons or having a hand in the formation of Ninjago. Another point that came up in another topic is that Lloyd is now the Master of Power, instead of Light/Creation, as he was from the moment he became the Green Ninja. No story's perfect, but now they're barely trying to keep the lore consistent. What do you think? Is there something I missed? Thoughts? Theories? Theatrics?

EDIT: Tahu has been added! Somebody on the BZP FB page commented on Pohatu's cyclonic sandstorm ability resembling Spinjitzu... Naturally, I took the opportunity to do this! Move aside, Dareth. Make room for the TRUE Brown Ninja! Apparently, Pohatu has been taking lessons from Sensei Wu. And, here's Tahu: You're welcome.

So I thought I'd share some Ninjago Miis I'd created with y'all. These were created specifically for use as Mii Fighters in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS! Kai pic (QR Code) Zane pic (QR Code) Cole pic (QR Code) Jay pic (QR Code) Lloyd pic (QR Code) Nya pic (QR Code) Full gallery (when public) My personal versions have the Ninja as Mii Swordfighters wearing Ninja Suits with Shuriken of Light (Neutral 2), Airborne Assault (Side 1), Hero's Spin (Up 3) and Blade Counter (Down 1) as their specials. Nya is also a Swordfighter, but wears the unlockable Samurai Armor and Samurai Helmet, and uses Blurring Blade (Neutral 3), Chakram (Side 3), Stone Scabbard (Up 1) and Power Thrust (Down 3) as her specials. Of course, if you download the Miis yourself you're free to do whatever you like with them!

Okay so I went to the Ninjago website on LEGO.com a while back and I found a funny error on the picture for the box art for LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids. On the side of the 3DS game's box, you should be able to see the logo for the game, Super Smash Bros. I found this beyond hilarious for the fact that this hasn't been changed sense it was posted to the website! http://www.lego.com/en-us/ninjago

So the category winners have been determined. Now they will face off against each other in order to determine who is indeed the greatest ninja ever. And that greatest ninja ever will then get this set. It's a simple process, really. (I know, however, that it may be difficult to determine any kind of ranking when it's a question of different media like this. But I believe in you.) This grand final voting will run until Sunday, September 28th at 11:59 PM Eastern, after which I will groggily set up the results topic. Remember, just by having placed in this poll you will receive one of these nifty things. And that deserves some congratulations. -- GREATEST NINJA FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE CATEGORIES 1.

Here’s the last one. Episode 27: The Surge Did they rename Darkley’s School for Bad Boys again? And where are those elemental weapons, Kai? The Overlord didn’t steal those too, did he? While I’m at it, I guess the light of Lloyd only blasted the Overlord’s form to bits, and he was standing on top of a tower, so I guess he could have been housed in a computer. We’ve already seen the Overlord in “spirit” form before, so I guess he could take that again and put himself into the computer system – what quicker way to gain power? But he was weakened after Lloyd clobbered him, so he couldn’t get himself out. Hence the messy plan. Of course, the reboot switch for this computer is even messier. Most computers turn off with a switch, and in the rare event that doesn’t work, you can always pull the plug. Why the elaborate reboot sequence? Of course, I suppose this isn’t a reboot as much as a hard-drive format, which is harder to do, but still, why the use of the four-techno blades (dated term, dudes) instead of the standard disk unpartition? I blame sets. I suppose security could have something to do with it, but surely your wouldn’t want the reboot items to be gold, prominent, and unable to stop an invasion from within. Alright. I do like that no matter what they do, the ninja never get any recognition or Life Upgrades. They’re ninja, you know. Also, if you’ve watched season 2-3, you know that Jay and Nya are a thing, but Nya was never consulted on the matter – Jay just filibustered along in typical Jay style. Thus, Nya talking to him about boundaries makes sense. The computer nominating Cole as Nya’s match does not. When computers know anything about love, I will have green pointed ears and be sitting on a boat dock on a planet of the Alpha Centuri star system. Still, given that the computer in this case is guided by PLOT, I’ll give some credence to the idea that the two have more chemistry than Jay and Nya. Cole is less of an overwhelming blabbermouth and would be more respectful of Nya. But I have to say that Nya is a lot better character by herself, and why does the girl always have to be a love interest, or forcefully painted so she isn’t? Anyway, how this ends up pleases me, but what Nya does to Cole in the middle of this season doesn't. There are way too many romance plots and romantic mess going on this season. Stick to the ninjas and samurai fighting evil, pleeeease. Ugh. [/rant] I thought elevators were inside buildings. Also, training staffs are indestructible – they can deflect metal saws and claws. Sensei used the self-sacrifice ploy again. The Overlord forgot to watch his copy of Ninjago seasons 1-3 on Cyrus Borg’s complimentary hard drive. And frankly, the Overlord should keep his mouth shut: the fact that the ninja knew about Lloyd being what he wanted literally sunk his ship. Episode 28: The Art of the Silent Fist The trees in Ninjago are really weird. I get the whole animation dealio, but they still look like turtles. One thing I can’t fault this season for is the pacing. Unlike last season where we had filler and some other pacing issues, these episodes chug along at a breakneck pace. In just a few minutes, we’ve established a whole bunch of details, some of which will be important later, like draining the golden power out of the bots and Wu’s capture. I also think it important to note that PIXAL was evil for a while – what is it with the evil girls, Ninjago? Also, what is it with the dinosaur bones? Last episode we had one just casually tossed aside like it was nothing, and this one had the X cave hidden under a skeleton. I think it’s supposed to be a joke about the contrast between old dinos and new technology, but I think I missed it. And Cole’s dad’s “box” to hide the ninja is too small to fit them all. (Ninjaspace? ) The PIXAL/Zane romance plot has too many holes in it. They just met each other mere days ago, and Zane cuts out half of his heart for her. That’s insane. It’s also Zane – we’re talking about the guy who frees sea monsters out of sympathy and befriends mechanical birds. Still, it’s a bit early to be so affectionate – she did steal the stuff you were guarding earlier. Come on. Episode 29: Blackout Pythor’s invisibility also explains why he was able to sneak into the Borg place and steal the corrupted drive. I like this episode because it gives us a taste of mystery though. I also like the scene with Lloyd and the raptor. 28, 29, and 30 all give us a taste of the affection that Lloyd and Garmedon feel for each other as father and son. Even the venom of the Great Devourer couldn’t overcome it. Episode 30: The Curse of the Golden Master According to the Serpentine, the curse of the golden master is getting too much power, that the power is the problem. Actually, I think the real curse of the golden master is that Lloyd loves his father. He relied too much on the golden power to save him, however – the golden power is slower to charge up than just using Spinjitsu to leap the gap. The ninja running into Scales and thinking him as the enemy is actually legitimately funny. Wrong snake indeed. But where did the weirdly lighted underground space come from? The one where the snakes were sealed showed them in with the stone platform the army was on in a dingy space. They could have made improvements though. Also, if Scales made an oath not to return to the surface, how did he get the groceries and the copy of the Ninjago Times? “Where are my knights in shining armor?” Go Nya! Episode 31: Enter the Digiverse Kai is the guy who normally makes the motivational speeches and handles any situation with confidence, if not downright impatience. Seeing him disturbed is OOC. Digiverse is scary, kids. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Go Nya! Do not insult the samurai of Ninjago! Also, the title sequence for this season refers pretty strongly to this episode. Episode 32: Codename: Arcturus Okay, so why does Kai not use his NRG flaming-shield flying fireball here? That would get him back in the car, and even if he was tired PIXAL could still drive. I guess flame on cars = bad period. He also could have used it to fly up to Pythor if he was so big on kicking his white tail. He could have used it offscreen, I suppose, although that’s hardly stealthy. Still, in that situation Kai wasn’t aiming for stealthy anyway – he made it clear that he was going for broke, so why not actually go for broke? *sigh* I think this plot of trying to get the golden weapons from space is a really cool idea that will lend itself to some comedy come next episode. Also: does Spinjitzu work in space? We will soon find out. (Unless you live in Australia, in which case you already know.) Not-so-final Thoughts I hesitated to release this one because there are two more episodes left in the season, but I guess I’ll see what the future brings. So far, this season has been well-paced, humorous, and tense with lots of dark drama. Unlike season three, the pace has increased to reflect the drama level. The romance plots feel like a distraction to the overall picture, but fortunately the story hasn’t focused too much on them. A few niggling logical quandaries are its thorns in its side as well. Hopefully those will be resolved as the story goes on. So far, it’s a fine piece of work, and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
