The Sixteen Realms and what are they (known and unknown)

[Lenny7092]

Hi, guys! Ninjago was originally about heroic ninja protecting the land of Ninjago from various threats. When the story progresses, we learn that there are sixteen realms, and Ninjago is one of them. It’s like Norse mythology with nine realms.

 

This is revealed in Season 5: Possession (you know, with Morro and the green ghosts who wanted to unleash their giant queen on Ninjago).

 

There are many ways to go from Realm to Realm.

 

Here are the list of the known ones of the Realms until Season 9 ended:

1. The Realm of the Oni and the Dragon - the first of the realms. It is where Season 9 took place sort of, as the Ninja got stuck in there. It’s also where the Oni and Dragons fight and the First Spinjitzu Master came from.

2. Ninjago - the main setting in the franchise. The FSM created this Realm.

3. The Underworld - the Skeletons live there. It’s under Ninjago.

4. The Dark Realm - Introduced in Season 1, where Lord Garmadon got an extra of arms and the power to use all four of the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu. Sensei Wu went there to get Lord Garmadon’s help to fight the Serpentine and save Lloyd Garmadon.

5. Cloud Kingdom - a place on the clouds where people write destinies.

6. The Cursed Realm - That was where people from Ninjago get imprisoned. That was also where the Ghosts live, and their queen is the physical embodiment of the place. This is destroyed when Nya used her Water powers to destroy the queen.

7. Djinnjago - That was where Djinns. Nadakhan’s place. It was destroyed when the Cursed Realm was destroyed.

8. Chima - That’s where another Lego theme called Legends of Chima took place.

9. The Departed Realm - That’s where dead people in general go.

 

Now, we don’t know about the other seven realms. We can make theories about and hopefully they can come true. They could be other Lego themes, like Legends of Chima. In my theories, these realms would be:

1. Nexo Knights - people in there kept calling their home “Realm”. Talk about a keyword.

2. Lego City/Clutch Powers - In an episode in Season 1, Cole once said that Clutch Powers found the Blade Cup. Clutch Powers is a character from a direct-to-video movie called Lego The Adventures of Clutch Powers in 2010. This dude is traveling to many places. He lives in Lego City, which is related to the theme with the same name. A video game called Lego City Undercover in 2013 takes place in Lego City, so it’s possible that Clutch Powers and the video game share the same place.

3. Lego Ultra Agents - two characters from Ninjago, Tox and that invisible guy, look like villains from that Lego theme. It’s possible that they were villains who reformed because of the events in Ninjago’s Season 4. I know that they may have character animation models that got inspired by the Ultra Agents villains, but that could be it.

4. Lego Power Miners/Lego Atlantis/Lego Pharaoh’s Quest/Lego Alien Conquest/Lego Dino Attack in 2012 - Well, one of Atlantis’ descriptions did say that one of the Atlantis search team’s member came from PM indirectly. A Lego magazine in 2011 did say that these themes share the same world.

5. Lego Monsters Fighters/Lego Galaxy Squad - Well, in a Lego magazine in 2012, when a vampire’s mansion from MF made a beam of light, it reached space and then got the attention of the bug-like aliens from GS.

6. Lego Alien Conquest - Well, the aliens’ home world.

7. Lego Galaxy Squad - Well, the bug-like aliens’ home world.

 

So, there. What do you think? What theories do you have in mind? Well, I believe that Ninjago’s Season 10 would be about the Ninja fighting against the Oni, who left the First Realm and seem to plan to conquer all of the Realms. Plus, I think that Ninjago is developing a shared TV universe, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Flash-Arrow TV universe.

With the exception of Nexo Knights. I think the other 6 realms should be left ambiguous. That way the writers can still use them for future seasons.

 

Clutch Powers the movie is drastically different from Ninjago in that the characters act like minifigures and can be taken apart. There is probably another character in Ninjago named Clutch Powers

 

Same with Paleman and Tox. They are confirmed to be descendants of Elemental Masters. So they are similar to there Ultra Agents characters. But not the same ones.

I too like the idea of leaving some realms ambiguous because when a Lego theme reveals every tiny little detail it gets tedious and sigh inducing. (Looking at you great beings).
