Ninja

Ninja   The Ninjagos   Secret Ninja Force    
“The ninja have protected Ninjago for years. We've been a symbol of hope for so many. But with the others missing, that hope had been lost. Now I see there is a reason to hope once again, because I can't do this alone.”

The ninja (also known as the Masters of Spinjitzu[1]) are a group of young warriors, mostly Elemental Masters, formed by Master Wu to protect the land of Ninjago from evil. Since the team's formation, they have fought many enemies. After Cole, Kai, Jay, and Zane united, they fought Lord Garmadon and the Skulkin, and later, Pythor and the Serpentine, which were freed by Lloyd Garmadon, who would later be revealed to be the legendary Green Ninja. Lord Garmadon defeated the Great Devourer, he escaped with the Golden Weapons and led the Serpentine.

After the ninja destroyed his Mega Weapon, Garmadon came in league with The Overlord and the Stone Army. The Overlord possessed Garmadon to regain his true form, and Lloyd fulfilled his destiny by becoming the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master and vanquishing the Dark Lord, purifying the world and his father.

As the years went on, the ninja faced further obstacles and adversaries and even gained a new recruit, Nya, who joined the team first as Samurai X and then as the Water Ninja. They battled the Golden Master and the Nindroid Army, Master Chen and the Anacondrai Cultists, the Preeminent and the Ghost Warriors (including Morro), Nadakhan and the Sky Pirates in an erased timeline, Clouse and the Shadow Army, and the Time Twins and the Vermillion.

After Wu's disappearance, Lloyd took the lead of the team, P.I.X.A.L. joined the team as Samurai X, and since Wu's return a year later, they have fought Harumi and the Sons of Garmadon (in addition to the resurrected Lord Garmadon himself), Iron Baron and the Dragon Hunters, and the Omega and the Oni.

After a six-month-long period of peace, they battled Aspheera and the Pyro Vipers, the Ice Emperor (discovered to be an amnesiac Zane manipulated by General Vex) and the Blizzard Samurai. After returning to Ninjago, the Mechanic helped Unagami and his army escape from the video game known as Prime Empire into the real world by trapping players in the game and using them as a power source to create a Manifestation Gate. Jay and Zane found the game's creator Milton Dyer who convinced Unagami to free the Gamers trapped inside the game.

Sometime after freeing the trapped gamers, the ninja wound up in the Dungeons of Shintaro, where they faced off against the Skull Sorcerer and his army of Re-Awakened while ending a war between the Munce and the Geckles. With the power of the Spinjitzu Burst, Cole defeated the masked villain, freeing the two tribes from his tyranny, and the ninja and their master went off in search of another adventure.

Upon hearing no word from Wu and Misako, the ninja head for the Island of the Keepers where they come across the Keepers of the Storm Amulet, who trade Jay to Wojira, only to learn that it was Ronin, who had been deceiving them for their treasures. With help from the survivor, they were able to defeat Ronin. Eventually, energy pulses would begin to make Nya's powers stir out of control, and they would find that it was coming from the Tartarus Trench. The villain, Kalmaar, requires the Storm Amulet, and he is able to gain it, awakening Wojira. As a last resort move, Nya becomes one with the Endless Sea, defeating Wojira and leaving the team.

One year following the incident with Wojira, the remaining five ninja came together again to uncover the Vengestone smuggling operations. During their disbandment, a new group emerged, taking their place in the community. When Nya returned, she asked to have her elemental powers removed. Faced with limited choices, the ninja decided to free Aspheera in order to bring Nya back, but at the cost of becoming criminals. Their situation worsened when they learned that the Overlord, now under the name the Crystal King, was gathering the ninja's adversaries with the assistance of his servant, Harumi. With support from Garmadon, the paperboys, some escaped criminals, and Harumi—who discovered how the Overlord was responsible for the Great Devourer—the ninja managed to defeat the Overlord once more, but at the cost of the Golden Weapons and the four original ninja's powers.

During the Merge, the ninja went missing and were scattered across the Merged Realms. Years later, in their absence, Lloyd took to training two new ninja, Arin and Sora accompanied by their new dragon friend Riyu, to combat the forces of Imperium and shut MergeQuakes for good. Soon after, Kai, Nya, and Zane rejoined the group, with Wyldfyre brought in as Kai's student, but Jay (now suffering from amnesia) remained with the Administration Agents (unbeknownst to the other ninja) and Cole followed master Wu on a quest. Eventually, they discover the three Dragon Cores that can help and used them to keep the merged realms in balance as well as dethrone Empress Beatrix, whom is sent into a MergeQuake rift by Arin.

When Ras returned with a plan to release the Forbidden Five, the ninja seek two ancient dragons to teach them Rising Dragon in order to combat an Elemental Master who knows Shatterspin. The plan partially succeeded at the cost of Kai being banished to the Nether-Space. Sometime later, the ninja participate in the Tournament of the Sources to find out who killed the Arc Dragons and took their horns, having told that the killer might be connected to the tournament. Upon arriving to the tournament, they find that Ras and his allies are there, and that they have trained Frak, Arin's childhood friend, and Jay, who Ras recruited after the former abandoned his job in the Administration, in able to win the tournament; however, both lost. During the Cavern Run, Ras poisons Arin's mind, making him lose faith in the ninja throughout the tournament over time. Nokt was the champion of the tournament until him, Ras, and Bleckt were thwarted. After gaining the eliminated contestants' powers, Nokt betrays Ras and reveals his true intentions, and his sister Rox revealed she possessed Jordana. The siblings revealed to have killed the Arc Dragons, using their crowns to open a portal to release the other three. The Forbidden Five succeed, but the ninja weaken them, forcing the Five to retreat. They also release Kai from the Nether-Space with Nya's use of dragon power from Riyu. Arin, having lost faith in the ninja completely, abandoned the ninja team and helped Ras instead, with intentions of finding the former's parents. Shortly after, Frak joins the ninja.

During the next weeks, the team separated into two teams, with Nya, Kai and Wyldfyre going to search for Jay, while the rest would try to find Arin. Eventually, Zane managed to track the place where Arin and Ras were teleported to, with him, Lloyd, Sora, Frak and Zanth following the clue. During their search, they find a mysterious blade the Forbidden Five are after, with Zane also reuniting with P.I.X.A.L.. After learning about the Forbidden Five's objective of using the five Prismatic Blades to free Thunderfang, the Shattering Dragon of Chaos, the Ninja regroup and locate the last Prismatic Blade, reuniting with Arin who temporarily rejoins them to stop the Forbidden Five and save Ras who was kidnapped. Despite their efforts, the Forbidden Five manage to free Thunderfang, who unleashes a chaotic storm across the Merged Realms. During the fight, Thunderfang absorbs Lloyd's soul, causing Arin to unlock his Object Spinjitzu and use the elixir of the Well of the Lost to free all the souls Thunderfang had consumed, not only causing his death, but also reviving Lloyd. Despite making amends with the Ninja, Arin still decides to go with Ras to bring back his parents with Sora deciding to join them. Meanwhile, Nya figured out Rogue was Jay, who got hurt during the battle, convincing him to return to the monestary to heal his injury. Once there, he reveals that Arin's parents are still alive.

History

Pilot episodes

OriginalNinja

Dreading the return of his evil brother, Lord Garmadon, who is desperate to claim the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu, Master Wu, the younger son of the First Spinjitzu Master who created Ninjago with the weapons, searched the land for four teenagers to find the weapons first. He came across the current Elemental Masters of the Elements of Creation: Cole—the Master of Earth, Zane—the Master of Ice, Jay—the Master of Lightning, and Kai—the Master of Fire, whose sister Nya had been kidnapped by Garmadon's army of Skulkin, though none of the four had unlocked their respective Elemental Powers yet. With Wu's teaching, the four became ninja, learned the art of Spinjitzu, and retrieved all but the last weapon, the Sword of Fire. Unfortunately, Garmadon used Nya to lure Kai to the Fire Temple and stole the sword while the Skeleton Army snuck up on the sleeping ninja and stole the other three weapons.

Wu followed the Skulkin general Samukai to the Underworld while the ninja followed him by taming the four dragons who guarded the Golden Weapons.

The four watched as Wu and Samukai fought, the former only possessing the Sword of Fire against Samukai with the other three weapons, giving him the advantage. Samukai eventually gained a hold of all four and intended to use them against Garmadon, however, their immense power overwhelmed him leading to his death, the ensuing tear through space and time allowing Garmadon to escape to the Realm of Madness, which would enable him to wield all four weapons without death. Once the ninja, along with Nya, had moved to Wu's Monastery, they continuing their training for Garmadon's return.

Rise of the Snakes

Unfortunately, lack of action led them to laziness, preferring to play video games instead of staying fit and powerful. Unbeknownst to them, a new threat was brewing. Wishing to live up to his father's feared name, while harboring feelings of sadness for his dad's departure, Garmadon's son Lloyd sought to cause chaos in Ninjago, and achieve his selfish desires in the process. After the ninja made a fool of him, he inadvertently led to the successful release of all five tribes of the mythical Serpentine (one tribe, the Hypnobrai, burning down Wu's Monastery, forcing the team to relocate to the Destiny's Bounty, a damaged pirate ship Zane found by following a mysterious Falcon), now led by the last of the Anacondrai, Pythor P. Chumsworth, who seeks the Fangblades to awaken the Great Devourer, the monster responsible for turning Garmadon's heart evil.

The ninja battle the united Serpentine, while a mysterious samurai continuously steals their thunder. Eventually, Lloyd, who was taken in by the ninja after being betrayed by the snakes, is captured and Wu leaves to find someone who can help free him. On their own, the ninja engage in battle with the Serpentine to stop the awakening of the Devourer, each one unlocking their true potential in the process (with the team learning Zane is a Nindroid). They also learn Nya is the Samurai due to being left out.

Wu returns with Garmadon to help save Lloyd, who to everyone's surprise (and Garmadon's dismay) is the Green Ninja, the warrior prophesied to defeat the "dark lord." Though the ninja, with Garmadon's help, recover all four Fang Blades, Pythor steals them and manages to awaken the Great Devourer, though it devours him and Wu. The Devourer was only able to be defeated by Garmadon with the help of the ninja, wielding all four Golden Weapons, the "dark lord" escaping afterward.

After being rescued by Nya and stealing back their impounded vehicles, the Ninja manage to retrieve Lloyd from Primeval's Eye, where they try to fight back against the Overlord and his Crystal army while Lloyd and Wu reunite with Garmadon, who had been hiding out in Vinny Folson's apartment before witnessing him using Oni form against some crystal warriors, inspiring Wu to have Garmadon teach Lloyd to unlock his own Oni form.

Dragon Ninja

As the battle continues, Nya also begins to rediscover her powers. Briefly separated after a failed strike, the Ninja reunite at the newspaper warehouse, where they learn of Dragon Form, which can turn the tide on the battle, but are unable to achieve it, until many allies, past and present, came to their aid, allowing them to unlock Dragon Form, reclaim their Golden Weapons and defeat the Crystal Council. Lloyd and Garmadon attempted to fight against the Overlord, alongside a vengeful Harumi, who discovered the truth about her biological parents' death. With Lloyd resisting his unlocked Oni form, the original Ninja use their Golden Weapons to combine them into a dragon and defeat the Overlord, at the cost of their powers.

MoS210Monastery

A week later, the Ninja, along with Garmadon, the redeemed Harumi, their allies, the New Ninja and former enemies, work on rebuilding the monastery.

Quest for the Lost Powers

Not long after the monastery was rebuilt, the original ninja went on separate journeys to regain their powers. Kai regains his while on his quest to defeat Fire Fang alongside Skylor, Zane regains his while going through his memory and forgiving his Ice Emperor self, Cole regains his while defending a farming village, and Jay regains his while exploring with Unagami.

The Merge

When Wu discovered scrolls about a disaster that would combine all realms, it came earlier than expected. While it happened, the ninja move to rescue the people caught up in it before heading for the source itself, only for it to close up and separate the ninja.

YoungArinandLloyd

Lloyd woke up at the monastery, which had mysteriously changed, Kai woke up on an unknown island, managed to recover the Bounty and reunited with Lloyd before leaving to study and map out the combined realms, Nya woke up somewhere that led her to the Kingdom of Madness and reunited with Kai, Zane was put in a stasis pod in the Monastery of Imperium, Cole woke up in the Land of Lost Things, and Jay woke up in a place called the Administration, where he lost his memory.

Dragons Rising, Season 1

Many years after the Merge, Lloyd went to the Crossroads, a town created for those who lost their homes and families in the Merge, where he spots a ninja on a bridge protecting a baby dragon from the Claws of Imperium, before they, along with another companion were captured.

Lloyd comes to their rescue to see it was Arin, a boy he once saved and was using his old mask he had lost during the Merge, who was the ninja on the bridge, as well as a fan that learnt Spinjitzu all by himself. With advice and encouragement from the dragon Riyu's Matriarch, Lloyd took him and his friend Sora, the Elemental Master of Technology, in as his first students.

Reuniting with Kai and Nya in the Kingdom of Madness, they end up coming across the Cloud Kingdom and close two MergeQuake rifts with help from the new Master of Wind before Nya stayed behind to find the solution to stopping the MergeQuakes.

Let’sFreeThatDragon!

After failing to rescue a dragon, Lloyd, Arin and Sora sneak into Imperium to disable an old invention of Sora's, who lived there before the Merge, during which, Lloyd met another Elemental Master named Wyldfyre, who was raised by a dragon before they work together to free the captive dragons.

While searching for a way to escape, the Monastery of Imperium arose with Kai, Nya, and Zane joining the fight before they escape the city through it after getting the portal gate activated by Lloyd, powered by the Source Dragon of Energy.

PlanMeetingCore

After many days of stopping MergeQuakes and following Nya's leads, they come across the Temple of the Dragon Cores, where they learn that in order to stop the MergeQuakes, they must unite the three Dragon Cores and immediately split up to search for them while Zane stayed to research the portal gate that led them to the Imperium Monastery, as well as bring in Arin and Sora's friend, Alfonzo Frohicky, to maintain the monastery in their absence.

Lloyd and Arin went to the Mother Garden, making a brief pit stop to help algae farmers reclaim their village from mind controlled Merlopian pirates, and discover from the Mucoids that Rapton tried to steal their Dragon Core. Despite their effort to spare him, Rapton double-crosses them, only to be taken out by agents that came from the Administration, who take the core for themselves. Kai and Wyldfyre went to the latter's home of the Lava Wastes in the Wyldness, running into some complications along the way, due to Wyldfyre's pranks, they're forced to clean up the Lava-Tides' village from Wyldfyre's past antics before Dorama showed up to claim the Dragon Core, but the two escape, although Heatwave was wounded in the escape. Nya, Sora, and Riyu went to the Pinnacle of Crystals, only to find the location where the Dragon Core normally was is empty, and Nya ends up triggering a trap that sends Howlers after them, but are saved by Sora the dragon's old acquaintance, a Djinn named Arrakore, who was in exile following Djinjago's destruction, also learning the dragon's real name, Zanth. But after eliminating the Howlers, Arrakore gives them an arrow that would guide them to the core, leading them to the Land of Lost Things, where they come across Cole, who now had an ability to form into a golem, protecting exiled children along with a Geckle/Munce hybrid named Geo, who is an Elemental Master of Fusion before discovering the core was powering a device keeping a creature called Sweeper back, until Dr. LaRow managed to steal it while they dealt with containing the Sweeper. When it came to attacking Imperium, Cole stayed behind before following a strange light whispering his name. While healing Heatwave, Kai taught Wyldfyre how to keep calm before discovering the core they managed to grab was a fake. Lloyd and Arin find themselves in The Administration, where they're guided by someone handing them notes that lead them to discover it was Zane, who was detained by their agents when his attempts to activate the gate were detected by them, and learn they plan to destroy the core the two agents took. Managing to retrieve it, Lloyd, Zane, and Arin escape, unbeknownst to any of them, leaving Jay behind.

BoysandWyldfyre

Infiltrating Imperium, they find the Imperium Teen Resistance Force, who intend to expose Beatrix for her deception, which they succeed. However, using the two Dragon Cores and one made from the energy of the Source Dragon, Beatrix began opening MergeQuakes, Kai, Wyldfyre, and Riyu being caught in some, until Sora, unlocking her True Potential, destroys it and Arin sends Beatrix into a MergeQuake before a storm occurs.

Then, using all three cores, Lloyd was able to stop the MergeQuakes, bring the world back in balance and returning those who were caught in the MergeQuakes, including Kai, Wyldfyre, and Riyu before Lloyd uses them to free the Source Dragon of Energy.

The Elemental Mechs

Sometime after stopping the MergeQuakes, while Lloyd went on away for an unknown reason, Kai decided to use the time with Arin and Sora to make a slide course, only for Cole to return, having heard news of Chronosteel being smuggled in, which Arin instantly knew was at Kreel's Junkyard. After using some to create three elemental mechs to calm an inadvertently mutated Lobbo, they confiscate the rest from Kreel. Kai, Cole, Nya, Arin, Sora, and Riyu later went to the Crossroads to watch the Mech Master 5000, which is interrupted by the Mechanic, wanting the mechs for himself, but manage to defeat him, during which, Kai, Cole, and Sora discover they can disassemble, reassemble, and swap mech parts. Sometime, Arin and Sora brought Kai and Cole to the Crossroads for the annual Noodle cook-off, which was interrupted by the Ice Dragons, who were after the Lava-Tides. After restraining both parties, Arin discovered the Lava-Tide chef, Lava-Tony, had stolen their eggs before Riyu sends the latter flying towards an oven, which explodes and covered them all in noodles, which they had to explain to Lloyd.

Dragons Rising, Season 2

Sometime later, Riyu had grown a little taller. A couple of ninja fans film the Ninja, who take down the Mechanic after saving some breakdancers, put out a fire, try to bring Fugi-Dove and a cat down from a tree, rescue Lobbo from his runaway mech, which Sora then turned into a DJ set, and initiates a party that Arin and Wyldfyre also attend. However, Lloyd had been suffering from visions that haunt him in his sleep, seemingly connected to a mallet recently stolen by Cinder, the new Master of Smoke, a user of Shatterspin, and one of Ras' apprentices.

Shattered Dreams (282)

After Ras took over the Cloud Kingdom and seeking guidance from the Source Dragons, Lloyd, Kai, Nya, Arin, Sora, Wyldfyre, who stowed away while recovering from a broken leg inflicted on her by Cinder, and Riyu meet Egalt and Rontu, who agree on the latter's part to teach them the Rising Dragon technique.

Despite some setbacks, including Arin gravely injuring Egalt and Wyldfyre discovering the latter is sick from the Wasting Sickness, Kai achieves the technique, just as the Blood Moon rises, turning the two dragons to stone.

Meanwhile, Cole was able to bring the Finders to the monastery through Imperium's repaired portal gate Geo had been working on in his spare time and discovered Bonzle is a spell need to counter the Blood Moon before, along with Zane, take her to her creator, a sorceress named Gandalaria, despite being delayed by Dorama. Coming across the same light that guided Cole, they meet Gandalaria at a monastery similar to their own before the Administration arrived, who were attempting to retrieve Zane. Defeating them, and not knowing Jay was part of the attempt to retrieve Zane, they head to the Wyldness to seal Bonzle away, only to be ambushed by Jordana, a former Imperium lab technician, who takes Bonzle. Despite Arin's attempt to keep her away, Ras retrieved Bonzle and brought her to the Shadow Dojo, where he initiates a ritual to release the Forbidden Five, using Euphrasia and the monks as sacrifices. However, despite Kai sent into the portal to bring one member out, and Lloyd and Nya achieving Rising Dragon, the ninja were able to stop the ritual and save the Cloud Kingdom while Kai and Bonzle think of a way to escape the Nether-Space.

While Zane went to learn Rising Dragon under Egalt and Wyldfyre training non-stop to carry on Kai's legacy, Arin and Sora, while escaping the Administration after failing to find information about Arin's parents, discover Riyu's matriarch, whose crown has been taken before, despite the Craglings' attempt to heal her, she dies and they, along with Lloyd, Nya, and Wyldfyre, take the matriarch's baby to Riyu's herd. When the Source Dragon of Motion arrived to tell them to participate in the Tournament of the Sources, they discover they weren't invited and decide to break in, which gets approved by Roby, who personally approves invitations for them, where they also catch up with Tox and Mr. Pale, as well as meeting Arin's old friend, Frak, and Beatrix's twin sister, Zeatrix, who has a grudge against the Ninja for dethroning the former without her consent. Later that night, they were attacked, but were thwarted and discovered the assassins, as well as two more, were bots and had Gilba Thorns from the Mother Garden, Zant-Tanz, the Master of Plants, was voluntarily disqualified.

S2E14 Screenshot (233)

They then discover Jay, who had been deceived into joining the Wolf Clan, only to be cast aside when he lost to Nya, effectively dumping her at the same time. After her loss to Cinder, Wyldfyre inadvertently gets all the Ninja disqualified, but they prove their worthiness by winning the Cavern Run. Upon her loss to Nokt, Nya intended to search for Jay, only to be captured by Nokt alongside Riyu. When it came to Lloyd and Zeatrix, she struck him down, despite his victory, which led him to withdrawing from his battle with Nokt while Sora defeats Frak, who was revealed to be in the Wolf Clan until his loss. Cole and Arin soon discover a monastery with many portal gates and come across the spirit of Wu, who confesses to being responsible for the Merge, devastating Arin. With assistance from Zur, a Devonian Elemental Master of Reflex, Wyldfyre discovered Roby's uncle, Bleckt, conspired with Ras to rig the tournament, and called him out as Nokt was being crowned the winner of the tournament. With the scheme uncovered, Nokt, having absorbed all the participants' Elemental Powers, and his sister Rox, who possessed Jordana during the ritual, create a rift with the Arc Dragons' crowns to release the rest of the Forbidden Five from the Nether-Space. With help from Riyu, Nya opened another rift to free Kai and Bonzle before Kai took on Nokt, until Roby absorbed the powers and returned them to their rightful owners. As the Forbidden Five make their getaway and Nokt grabbing Ras, Arin, miffed at Sora deceiving him, Lloyd's teaching inabilities, and learning Wu was responsible for his parents' disappearance, betrays the Ninja to rescue Ras as the portal gate to the Cloud Kingdom is destroyed, stranding them in a different realm. Sora was then proclaimed the tournament winner by default while Wyldfyre and Roby begin a relationship, Lloyd receives a Dragon Icon from the Motion Source Dragon, Frak joins the ninja, and Kai decides to help Nya search for Jay in an attempt to regain the latter's memory. Arin ends up in the First Land with Ras, where he vowed to help the latter get better, believing Ras is the only one who could help him find his parents.

Ages of the ninja

He passed his Elemental Powers to us. Of all people, a bunch of kids.”
“Jay, we're still teenagers.”
“Yeah, but grown-up teenagers.”
Kai and Jay, "The Gilded Path"


The ninja's ages are not specified.[6]

Ninjago: The classic ninja were in their teenage years during the original series, with the exception of Zane, who is decades older but was built to have the appearance of a teenager. Lloyd became physically around the age of his older friends due to the effects of the Tomorrow's Tea, but he is still chronologically the youngest of the team due to having originally been a child. Zane is over 100 years old, due to spending around 60 years as the Ice Emperor in the Never-Realm.

While the ninja were officially teenagers during the original series, with Jay referring to them as "grown-up teenagers" in "The Gilded Path," their specific ages and the amount of time that passes between seasons was kept vague for the purpose of keeping them in an age-range that is young and relatable to the show's target audience.[7][8][9] Furthermore, Tommy Andreasen noted that the age of the ninja is not specific and is up to the viewer's interpretation.[10] According to the Hageman Brothers, the ninja's aging is comparable to Bart Simpson's, whom is often used as an example of the phenomenon of cartoon characters remaining the same age despite the passage of time.[11] Similarly, Tommy Andreasen compared the ninja's aging to that of Batman, stating that "time is less of a factor" in fiction.[12] Tommy Kalmar refers to the group as "teen ninjas" in his 2022 "What is Ninjago?" video on LEGO.com, meaning they were still officially teenagers during the events of Crystalized.[13]

Ninjago: Dragons Rising: Sometime after Crystalized, the Merge occurs and the story skips ahead years later. Ninja students Arin and Sora are teenagers,[14] Wyldfyre likely is as well, since she was also a child during the Merge, Frak is the youngest ninja, being born at least after the Attack of the Great Devourer due to being a hybrid, but aging differently due to being a Serpentine. While the amount of time is unknown, enough years have passed that the ninja students grew up from children with short legs to teenagers with normal-sized legs, instead of the medium legs which pre-teens/young teenagers usually have in LEGO post-2018. This may imply that the older six ninja, excluding Zane, are now young adults in their 20s instead of teens, but as mentioned above, the creators do not specify ages.

See more specific information and possible estimations of the ninja's ages, as well as the sources for the information, on the individual pages' Age sections linked here: Arin, Cole, Jay, Kai, Lloyd, Nya, Sora, Zane.

Trivia

  • The name "ninja" is not treated as a proper name when Wu refers to the team in his writing in the Dark Island Trilogy and The Book of Spinjitzu or when it is written in Pythor's Revenge. However, the word is treated as such, being written as "Ninja," on several other occasions, such as in earlier books, often on the website, and in the March of the Oni character posters. Official episode descriptions for the series have written the word both ways.
  • Arin, Sora, Wyldfyre and Frak are referred as 'new ninja,' while Lloyd, Kai, Zane, Nya and Cole are referred as 'classic ninja.'[15]
  • The "official order" of the classic ninja seems to be Kai, Jay, Zane or Cole, and Lloyd or Nya.
    • The intro in seasons 1 and 2 has Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Lloyd (when introduced), and Nya.
    • The Character Card statistics are ordered as Fire (Kai), Lightning (Jay), Earth (Cole), and Ice (Zane).
    • Books such as the Character Encyclopedia and The Visual Dictionary order their pages for the ninja as Kai, Jay, Cole, and Zane.
    • On the Wu-Cru missions site, the ninja are ordered as Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Nya, and Lloyd.[16]
    • In the Museum galleries, the ninja are ordered as Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Nya, and Lloyd (with Wu first and Garmadon between Nya and Lloyd).
    • The intro for Ninjago: Decoded is ordered as Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Nya, and Lloyd.
    • Zane's narration in "Legacy" is ordered as Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, and Nya (Lloyd is introduced later).
    • Tommy Andreasen's drawings of the ninja in 2018 were ordered Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Lloyd, and Nya,[17][18] though it's possible the order in this case was mostly a coincidence.
  • The ninja's phone number in Season 1: Rise of the Snakes was 555-122091-1.[19]
  • Most of the ninja, including Master Wu, Misako, and P.I.X.A.L., have changed their physical appearances in the show.
    • Jay, Kai, Zane, and Cole turned into kids in "Child's Play," but they turned back into teenagers shortly after.
    • Jay changed his hairstyle after becoming a bounty hunter, sharing the same hairstyle as Unagami and Okino.
    • Lloyd was a child until he threw a jar of Tomorrow's Tea at the Grundle in "Child's Play" and aged into an old man in "Wishmasters." He reverted back to a teen due to Jay's last wish.
    • Zane was originally a Nindroid in human form until "The Titanium Ninja" and debuted in his titanium form in "The Invitation." In "The Mask of Deception," he gains a cloak that lets him turn into his human-like form. However, he has never used this ability since Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu, but uses it again in "The Benefit of Grief" and (in his damaged state) "Return of the Ice Emperor."
    • Cole was a human until "The Temple on Haunted Hill," where he was turned into a ghost by Yang, but turned human again in "Day of the Departed." He now has a scar from the transformation, though it has faded as of Season 8 and only shows when he performs his Earth Punch.
    • Nya's lips are no longer red from Season 6 onward. She had a brief infusion with the Endless Sea from "Nyad" to "A Painful Promise."
    • The classic ninja's appearances changed in Season 8, being similar to their movie counterparts. See here for more information.
    • Wyldfyre changes her hairstyle between "Time to get Red" and "The Shape of Motion" after giving her hair bone to three baby Lava Dragons. Her eyeslashes were also changed to match her minifigure face print.
    • After being touched by the Reversal Time Blade, Wu has become a baby. Throughout the eighth and ninth season, Wu grew from a toddler, child, young teen, teen with mustache and goatee, then got his straw hat, and finally back to his old form. From Secrets of Forbidden Spinjitzu to Crystalized, Wu had a braided ponytail and sideburns before returning to his old appearance prior to Season 1 of Dragons Rising.
    • Misako's white streak of hair was absent for The Hands of Time and then appeared again in Season 8 more prominently than previous seasons.
    • P.I.X.A.L. originally had the same hairpiece as Tox, but in Season 8 onward, it was changed to a silver variant of Nya's Season 8 hair. In Dragons Rising, P.I.X.A.L.'s face was redesign.
  • Jay, Arin, Sora, Wyldfyre, and Frak are the only ninja to have never died.
  • Jay was the only ninja to appear in every Ninjago episode until "The News Never Sleeps!" and "Never Trust a Human" aired, with Cole and Nya following behind him. But Nya has since made more appearances than Jay, since he only appeared in one episode, and Cole, who appeared in three, in Season 1 of Dragons Rising.
  • All of the ninja, (and Master Wu) have traveled to another realm, including after the Merge.
    • The original four (and Master Wu) have been to the Underworld and Realm of Oni and Dragons.

        • Zane mentions he and Cole passed through it on the way to Mysterium.
    • All of the Ninja (except Frak) have traveled to the Cloud Kingdom.
      • Before the Merge, Kai, Zane, Cole and Jay traveled there one time and Lloyd two time but was possessed by Morro the first time and the second time was brief, due to his fight with Morro.
      • After the Merge, Nya, Lloyd, Arin and Sora went there three times, Kai, Zane and Wyldfyre twice, and Cole once.
    • Due to his fight with Morro, Lloyd is the only one to go to the Cursed Realm.
    • All of the ninja (except Jay and Frak) have been to the Wyldness after the Merge.
      • Prior to the Merge, Wyldfyre was stranded and grew up there and Lloyd had already briefly traveled there during his fight with Morro.
    • Kai, Jay, Cole, Lloyd, and Nya have traveled to the Never-Realm in order to rescue Zane after he was banished there.
      • This also marked the first time where the six classic ninja travel to another realm at the same time.
    • Kai, Zane, Lloyd, Nya, Arin, and Wyldfyre traveled to Imperium after the Merge.
    • Jay, Zane, and Cole traveled to Mysterium after the Merge.
      • Jay was an Administration Agent at the time.
  • Five of the classic ninja have traveled to space.
  • After Cole's physical reformation in "Day of the Departed," Zane once again becomes the only biologically non-human on the team. Lloyd is mostly human, but also part Oni and Dragon, because of his ancestry.
  • At one point, the Hageman Brothers had an idea to make each ninja have a distinctive physical attribute in addition to their elemental powers, following how Zane was a titanium robot and Cole was a ghost. They were thinking of Jay being a master of disguise and Kai becoming a rock fire lava monster when he got angry. However, they're glad they didn't go with this idea in the end.[21]
  • All the ninja have at one point did not wear every different suit shown in the show.
    • Kai did not have his Scuba suit due to not going down the Tartarus Trench and his Source Tournament suit due to being trapped in the Nether-Space.
    • Jay did not have his Merge suit, Mech suit, or Climber suit due to being in the Administration, making him the first ninja to have any new suits simultaneously, as well as not having an official Source Tournament or Storm suit.
    • Cole did not have his Prime Empire avatar attire due to not purchasing it and his Scuba suit due to not going down Tartarus Trench.
    • Zane did not have his Tournament suit due to being a prisoner of Chen, his Digi-Robe due to not entering Prime Empire, and his Storm suit due to his body being upgraded and enlarged by P.I.X.A.L.
    • Lloyd only got up to his ZX suit due to being a minor antagonist before joining the ninja.
    • Nya only got up to her Deepstone suit due to being Samurai X. She did not have her Prime Empire avatar attire due to not purchasing it, and doesn't have an official Fugitive suit during her brief loss of powers.

    • Frak did not have any suits prior to his debut as a ninja.
  • Technically, the classic ninja have the title "Master", as they are all Masters of an element. This was shown in "The Corridor of Elders," when Arcturus identified Lloyd as "Master Lloyd."
    • As a ninja, however, Lloyd is the only one who has achieved the rank of Sensei/Master/martial art teacher.
      • He started to be called "Master Lloyd" after Wu was lost in time in The Hands of Time until Wu's return in "Green Destiny" (in which Wu himself called him Master Lloyd) and wasn't called like that again until after the Merge when he took Arin and Sora as student and began to use a Bo staff while Master Wu was missing.
        • However Arin calls him "Master Lloyd" after the latter freed him and Sora from a prison train in "The Merge: Part 2" before becoming Lloyd's student, although Lloyd hesitates.
      • The Dragon Masters officially granted him the title "Master" before the Tournament of the Sources while Lloyd still didn't feel worthy of this appellation. Lloyd then went to the Tournament as the master of his team and started wearing a Master robe.
  • At some point, all members of the team (and some allies) have turned (or been) against their team and been reverted back (or joined the ninja):
    • Garmadon was revived in Sons of Garmadon and became evil again but has since tried to regain his humanity starting from March of the Oni.
    • Lloyd was possessed by Morro in Season 5.
    • Cole was hypnotized by Skales.
    • Nya, Cole, Jay, and Zane were corrupted by Dark Matter (although the last three were only briefly corrupted before Lloyd undid the effects).
    • P.I.X.A.L., Cyrus Borg, and Master Wu were controlled by the Overlord.
    • Kai was briefly corrupted by the Staff of Elements and nearly attacked Lloyd and Skylor.
    • Ronin was forced by Morro to betray the ninja in "The Crooked Path," hired by the police to capture the ninja in "Public Enemy Number One," and terrorized the Keepers in The Island.
    • Misako was controlled by Bansha in "Grave Danger" and was corrupted by Dark Matter in the Dark Island Trilogy.
    • Nya was possessed by Delara.
    • P.I.X.A.L., as Samurai X, was controlled by the Quiet One during Season 8 before Zane killed the spider thus freeing her.
    • Wu and Lloyd were briefly corrupted by a Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu.
    • Zane's memories were erased by Vex, who manipulates him into being corrupted by the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu and become the Ice Emperor, started the Long Winter, and held Lloyd hostage. However, Zane regained his memories when Vex said "protect."
    • Jay and Kai fought each other after the latter knocked over the former's glass of water in "The Shape of Nya," but halted upon Nya's return.
    • Wyldfyre fought Lloyd after being freed from her cell, believing he was an oppressive Imperian, until he saved her from being shot at by the Imperium Guards in "Mindless Beasts."
    • Sora reluctantly activated her Photacs to fight for the Claws of Imperium against the ninja, but disabled them while escaping them.
    • Kai and Wyldfyre fought over their power differences, only to be stopped by the other ninja in "The Temple of the Dragon Cores."
    • Cole attacked Nya, Sora, and Riyu for chasing after Fritz and Spitz in the Land of Lost Things as a golem, but stood down upon recognizing Nya.
    • Jay was made manager of realm assignment in The Administration, though after an encounter with Bonzle and Wu, he starts to doubt working for the Administration Agents. He later joined the Wolf Clan under Ras' deception, only to be cast aside for losing to Nya, and eventually became a bounty hunter under the name Rogue, but was brought back to the monastery to heal from injuries inflicted on him.
    • Kai, Sora, and Wyldfyre were almost corrupted by the Wolf Clan.
    • Frak was a member of the Wolf Clan prior to becoming a ninja, only to be cast aside for losing to Sora.
    • Arin followed Ras after finding out the cause of the Merge and promised by the latter that he'd find his parents.
    • Sora chose to go with Arin and Ras following Thunderfang's defeat.
  • Although Lloyd is the leader of the team, every ninja of the original team has taken on the role of the leader, specifically, early on in Possession when Lloyd was possessed.
    • It was previously assumed that Cole was the leader, but this was never officially part of the show.[22] This was referenced in "The Two Blades" when Vania assumed Cole was the leader and in the Ninjago honest trailer when the narrator said "we were led to believe" Cole was the leader. It was also mentioned in the Character Encyclopedia and its expanded edition. There was no official leader of the team prior to Lloyd's transformation into the Golden Ninja, other than Wu.
    • Although Nya never received the title of leader (or proclaim herself as such), she often plays this role due to her mature and independent temperament, being the one who often organizes plans, lead the other ninja and takes decisions. Notable examples among others are "The Art of the Silent Fist" or the first scene of "Return to Primeval's Eye" where Nya does not hesitate to take command to lead the other ninja in Lloyd's absence. She also often plays an advisory role for Lloyd (the official leader).[23]
  • After Rebooted, the four original ninja could only harness their elemental powers while dependent on their leader, Lloyd, because he shared his Golden Power between them. This was shown when they lost their powers when Morro possessed Lloyd in "Winds of Change."
    • However, when Lloyd lost his powers in "Big Trouble, Little Ninjago," the other ninja still had theirs. Tommy Andreasen implied this may have been due to the passage of time and Lloyd's growth causing the ninja's powers to become more independent from him.[24]
  • The four original ninja are the only Elemental Masters that have elements of creation.
    • Though linked to Golden Power, Lloyd's element (Life/Energy) is not an element of creation and his power of Destruction is an elemental essence.
    • Nya, Wyldfyre, and Frak's elements, Water, Heat, and Quake respectively are not elements of creation.
    • Sora's element, Technology, originated during the Merge.
  • Lloyd is the only ninja to possess an elemental essence, which is Destruction due to his Oni heritage.
    • This makes him the only ninja to control more than one elemental power/essence.
    • It is unknown if he possesses the essence of Creation, as he is also part Dragon.
  • Kai and Sora are the only ninja to not have their main color changed.
    • Lloyd was green, then gold, but is now green again.
    • Jay was blue, before changing to dark blue, during his brief affiliation with the Wolf Clan.
    • Zane was white, then silver, and now again white.
    • Cole was black but, then alternates between gray and brown whenever the ninja wore predominantly black gi and now he is black again.
    • Nya was red, then maroon, then dark grey and is now azure (dark gray being now her secondary color).
    • Arin had a lighter shade of orange before changing to a darker orange, then back to light orange while under Ras' mentorship.
    • Wyldfyre was celadon before changing to dark red.
    • Frak was dark gray when he was part of the Wolf Clan before changing to black when he joined the ninja team, and later changed it to lime green.
  • Sora is the only ninja to not have her secondary or tertiary colors swapped.
    • Lloyd's first secondary color was gold before swapping to dark green.
    • Kai briefly changed his secondary color from maroon to orange.
    • Jay briefly changed his secondary color from dark blue to yellow before changing it to black with yellow as his tertiary color and blue as his quaternary color, due to his brief affiliation with the Wolf Clan before changing it once more to alice or twin bed blue as his secondary color and maroon as his tertiary color, due to becoming a bounty hunter named Rogue.
    • Cole changed his secondary color from gray, to brown, and is currently orange.
    • Nya's color scheme kept changing since she is a ninja: her secondary color was azure (when her main color was dark red and then dark gray) until Season 14 and she had dark blue as a tertiary color in season 5, and dark red in season 7, (when her main color started to be dark gray). In season 14 her secondary color became dark gray (when azure became her main color) and dark red has returned to her tertiary color in season 15. She now alternates between dark red, yellow, or dark blue as a tertiary color.
    • Arin's secondary color was a darker shade of orange while his tertiary color was celadon before changing to a lighter orange and dark blue respectively, and then to black and magenta as his secondary and tertiary colors while under Ras's mentorship.
    • Wyldfyre's secondary, tertiary, and quaternary colors were dark red, orange, and red in that order before changing her secondary color to celadon, while keeping orange and red as her tertiary and quaternary colors respectively.
    • Frak's secondary color was purple when he was part of the Wolf Clan before changing to lime green when he joined the ninja team, and later changed it to orange.
  • The classic ninja have seasons or TV specials that focus on them.
  • Five of the classic ninja, as well as Wu and Garmadon, have traveled to the past. Kai is the only one who has traveled to the past thrice.
  • Nya and Jay are the only ninja to remember what happened in Season 6, although Lloyd showed signs of experiencing déjà vu, while the rest may have gained some recollection.
    • Due to Jay losing his memories, Nya is currently the only character to remember Skybound.
  • Each of the ninja have their own signature color.
    • Kai's signature color is red.
    • Jay's signature color changed between blue and dark blue.
    • Zane's signature color is white.
    • Cole's signature color is black.
    • Nya's signature color changed between maroon, azure, and gray.
    • Lloyd's signature color is green.
    • Arin's signature color is orange.
    • Sora's signature color is pink or white.
    • Wyldfyre's signature color is red or dark red.
    • Frak's signature color is lime green.
  • The classic ninja have individual animal symbols that correspond to their characteristics (as of Season 6, depicted on their suits with matching colors and elemental resemblance).
    • Kai's is shown as an orange (with red outline) Lion—resembling his aggression.
    • Jay's is shown as a dark blue (with purple outline) Octopus—resembling his active nature.
    • Zane's is shown as a blue (with white outline) Tiger—resembling his intelligence.
    • Cole's is shown as a yellow (with orange outline) Gorilla—resembling his strength.
    • Nya's is shown as a white (with light blue outline) Phoenix—resembling her determination.
    • Lloyd's is shown as a yellow/gold (with green outline) Dragon—resembling his power (and later revealed to be his ancestry).
  • The classic ninja have their own signature weapon that they are most known for and later changed their signature weapons to match their movie counterparts (except for Jay), until Season 11.
  • Zane is the oldest ninja of the team, as he was created forty years ago. Although as of Season 4, he has a new body, technically making him no longer an "outdated model."
    • As of Season 11, Zane is even older than the other ninja after spending decades in the Never-Realm.
  • Prior to Arin, Sora, Wyldfyre, and Frak joining the ninja as students, Lloyd was the youngest, though was aged physically to be the same age as his friends.
    • However, in Season 6, when Lloyd aged into an old man, he was temporarily physically the oldest ninja of the team before reverting back to a teen.
  • Most of the ninja have had a love interest which was another focus in a season.
    • Jay and Nya had an attraction to each other in the first two seasons and following a break-up in Season 3, they got back together in Season 6 and remained a couple. They soon Yin-Yang promise in Season 10. They once again broke up in Dragons Rising, Season 2, due to Jay's memory loss and corruption to Shatterspin. Though they are back together by Dragons Rising, Season 3, Jay still has no memory.
    • Kai has an interest in Skylor, the daughter of Chen, in Season 4: Tournament of Elements. They officially got together at some point before Quest for the Lost Powers.
    • Zane had an interest in P.I.X.A.L. in Season 3 and they remained together until the Merge. As of Dragons Rising, Season 3, they are back together
    • Cole was flattered by Nya showing feelings for him during Season 3, which caused a rivalry between him and Jay until the two reconciled their friendship. Cole appears to have feelings for Geo as seen in Season 2 of Ninjago: Dragons Rising when they held hands and smiled at each other.[26][27][28]
      • If true, that makes Cole the first confirmed LGBT+ ninja to appear in the series.
    • Lloyd had an interest in Harumi in Season 8: Sons of Garmadon, but she was later revealed to be evil. Although she seemed to have only been using him, he seemed saddened when she died in Season 9, going as far as to dig through the rubble to find her body. He was in complete shock when she revealed herself to him in Season 15, before admitting he tried to look for her after Garmadon's defeat. She redeemed herself when she discovered the Overlord was responsible for her parents' death, and gave him a friendly wave at the end of "Roots."
    • Wyldfyre had a crush on Roby throughout the second part of Season 2 of Ninjago: Dragons Rising before becoming an official couple in "Elements of Betrayal."
    • Frak is shown to have a crush on Sora in "The Missing".
  • From Season 8 to Season 10, the original 6 had their names and signature colors on their weapons. As of Season 11, their weapons are now gold and just have their signature colors.
  • Except for Arin, who does not possess an Elemental Power, all of the ninja have lost their powers at one point and regained them.
  • Although Lloyd is the Green Ninja, Cole is physically the strongest of the team, due to his super strength.
  • Prior to Season 8, Kai and Jay were the only two classic ninja whose appearances stayed the same throughout most of the show since their debut.
  • Most of the ninja were a different species from their own at some point during the original series and Dragons Rising.

  • All of the ninja (as well as Wu and Garmadon, excluding Frak) have at least one personal enemy.
  • Lloyd, Jay, and Arin are the only ninja to have confirmed surnames.
    • Zane's surname is most likely Julien, though it is not confirmed.[29]
    • Kai and Nya's surname was considered "Smith" behind the scenes, though this is not necessarily canon to the show.[30][31]
  • According to Wu in Season 11, the first ninja were originally monks living in the mountains of Ninjago. As predators killed the monks, they had to become faster, stronger, and more cunning in order to survive, eventually evolving into ninja.

    • Sora lived in Imperium prior to the Merge.
    • Wyldfyre was born in a realm, parallel to the Wyldness before being stranded there prior to the Merge.
  • Six of the ninja and their masters have defeated a major antagonist at some point in the show.
  • Lloyd, Cole, Nya, Jay, and Zane are so far the only classic ninja that at one point were responsible for orchestrating most major events.
  • Most ninja, including their masters and one ally, have performed almost every ancient art.
    • Lloyd and Zane know and have performed Spinjitzu, Airjitzu, Rising Dragon, and Dragon Spinjitzu and have used Forbidden Spinjitzu at some point, but do not know Shatterspin.
    • Jay knows and has performed Spinjitzu, Airjitzu and Shatterspin with a Wolf Mask and has used Forbidden Spinjitzu, yet has never performed Rising Dragon, due to not being trained under Egalt.
    • Cole knows and has performed Spinjitzu and Airjitzu and has used Forbidden Spinjitzu, yet has never performed Rising Dragon, due to not being trained under Egalt, or Shatterspin.
    • Kai and Nya know and have performed Spinjitzu, Airjitzu, and Rising Dragon, yet have never used Forbidden Spinjitzu or Shatterspin.
      • Kai held the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu once, but couldn't use it because he had no powers yet, due to Aspheera taking them away.
      • Nya never held the scroll.
    • Arin only knows Spinjitzu, learning a primitive form of it by himself. He improved it with Ras' deceptive advice and Frak's encouragement, and Object Spinjitzu, which he inadvertently invented.
      • His Spinjitzu has hints of Shatterspin in it, indicating that he is forcing the progress and letting anger take control.
    • Sora only knows a rudimentary version of Spinjitzu, being in the process of learning it.
    • Frak knows Shatterspin with a Wolf Mask, but never performed it.
    • Wyldfyre doesn't know any of them.
    • Wu knows and has performed Spinjitzu and has used Forbidden Spinjitzu, yet does not know Airjitzu.

      • It is unknown if he knows Rising Dragon.
    • P.I.X.A.L. briefly used Spinjitzu alongside Zane and did have a noticeable reaction to the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu, yet never used Airjitzu.
      • Tommy Andreasen did mention, however, that the theory of Nya unlocking her Spinjitzu Burst in "Curseworld, Part II" to destroy the Preeminent has lead the team to reconsider or not if this was her form of the burst.[33] This has not yet been confirmed, however.
  • Wu and the classic ninja are the only characters in the Ninjago series to appear in every consecutive installment since their initial introduction.
    • Wu, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, and Nya have all appeared in every season since their introduction in the pilot episodes, as well as the Dark Island Trilogy and "Day of the Departed."
    • Lloyd has appeared in every season since his introduction in Season 1, as well as the Dark Island Trilogy and "Day of the Departed."
    • P.I.X.A.L.'s streak was broken when she did not appear in Season 1 of Ninjago: Dragons Rising, after appearing in every season since her introduction in Season 3, as well as the Dark Island Trilogy and "Day of the Departed."

  • The classic ninja's future reflections, apart from Cole and Lloyd, are shown in the ice labyrinth in Season 5. While it would seem the cast's change in appearance after the movie means these visions are no longer accurate, Tommy Andreasen has implied they may still look like this in the future.
    • When asked about how the future reflections didn't seem to compare to the Season 8 designs, he replied "That reflection is like 50 years into the future … season 8 is not."[34]
    • When someone said that the timeline was altered by Wu in Season 7, he said "No he didn't. We did a design update. Shows do that and we will do so again sometime."[35]
    • Whatever may happen in-universe, the appearances of the ninja will most likely not revert to their original designs within the show itself.[36]
  • Cole is the only classic ninja whose future or older self has not been seen, as everyone but he and Lloyd had future reflections in the ice labyrinth, while Lloyd temporarily became an old man in the second half of Skybound.
  • Some of the ninja get more of a spotlight in the sets than others:
    • After the 2019 Legacy spinners, Kai has appeared in all eight collectible set series (Spinjitzu Slam, Arcade Pods, Spinjitzu Burst, Epic Battles, Spinjitzu Training, Dragon Power, and Rising Dragon, and Dragon Spinjitzu), Lloyd has appeared in five, Jay has appeared in three, Zane, Cole, Nya, and Arin have appeared in two, and Sora has appeared in one.
  • Tommy Andreasen does not think whether the ninja have different heights or not is relevant to the story.[38][39] He later said that their heights are "Average."[40]
    • An image by PenPlays on X show in a police line up of the classic ninja, sans Nya, that they appear to be around 6' 5".[41]
  • Kai, Cole, Sora, Wyldfyre, and Frak are the only ninja who have not been shown to cry or shed a tear at any point.
    • Zane shed a tear when he regained the memory of his father's last moments in "Tick Tock"

    • Lloyd shed tears after the Colossus crushed the Destiny's Bounty in "Big Trouble, Little Ninjago," believing Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, and Wu were killed, and when assumed they were dead in "The Spider's Design"

    • Arin cried upon seemingly learning his parents were dead in "I Alone Can Save Them".
  • The ninja have distinctive eyebrows in order to easily identify them when they have their masks on.[42]
    • However, when wearing their black suits in Crystalized, they were unable to distinguish themselves from one another.
    • Wyldfyre and Frak are the only ones that haven't worn a mask.
  • The ninja's names were chosen "Quite carefully ... and with legal checks to avoid any infringements."[43]
  • The classic ninja had at least one episode where the ninja learns secrets about one of their parents.
  • Except Frak, the new ninja either lost their parents or had bad relationships with them.
    • Arin lost his parents to the Merge in "The Merge: Part 1," briefly saw them in a MergeQuake rift in "The Power Within," sees them in a vision where he fears they gave up on him finding them in "Beyond the Phantasm Cave," and ultimately abandons the ninja to join Ras, believing the latter will help bring them back, only to discover they were dead in "I Alone Can Save Them", unaware that Jay told the ninja that Ras lied.
    • Sora ran away from her parents when they refuse to acknowledge her technology skills and her opposing misuse of dragon power, which is seen in a flashback in "Return to Imperium," and briefly reunited with them before disowning them in "The Power Within" upon seeing them continue their loyalties to Beatrix.
    • Wyldfyre's biological parents were never mentioned as she grew up in the Wyldness.
      • But according to Chris "Doc" Wyatt, "Wyldfyre's parent is a dragon. Biology doesn't determine parentage".[44]
    • Frak's relationship with his parents is currently unknown, except the fact that he took a photo of them with him in the Tournament of the Sources.
  • Although originally the ninja used pajamas often during sleep, in newer seasons they are already sleeping in their gi, due to simpler animation because of modest budget (or in-universe because it allows them to leap into action more quickly).[45]
  • Tommy Andreasen has stated that he believes any of the ninja could turn evil given the right set of circumstances.[46]
  • According to Tommy Andreasen, if the ninja had YouTube channels, Jay would make game videos, Kai would give bad dating tips, Nya would make self-improvement videos, Cole would do "the joys of cake," and Zane would make Brent Miller parody videos.[47]
  • In Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu, Master of the Mountain, The Island, and Crystalized, the story of the ninja starts in the Monastery of Spinjitzu. According to Tommy Andreasen, it's because "We like our beloved characters to rest a bit. Who would deny them that after all their hard work?"[48]
  • The ninja do not have official birthdays. However, Jay and Lloyd's birthdays seem to take place not long after The Hands of Time, since within the season, they both received early birthday gifts but did not celebrate their birthdays.[49][50]
  • In Ninjargon, "ninja" means one who protects.[51]
  • During "Stiix and Stones," Cole, Kai, Jay and Zane had a total of less than two hundred in cash. At present, however, their assets are unknown.
  • At one point, the ninja separated, but reunited or remain separated.
    • Zane inadvertently left the team when his original body was destroyed before rebuilding himself and came back after the Tournament of Elements.
    • Kai, Jay, and Cole left the team after Zane's assumed death before being brought back together by Lloyd, which led to the Tournament of Elements.
    • Nya left the team after merging with the Endless Sea before being removed of her powers by Aspheera, and later regained them.
    • Kai, Jay, and Lloyd left after Nya's departure before returning upon seeing the Candlelight vigil for Nya.
    • Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, and Nya left the team, due to the Merge. Only Kai, Zane, and Nya returned during the quest to prevent the MergeQuakes. Cole periodically returns, balancing his time between the ninja and his commitments with the Finders. Jay stayed at the Administration, until he was recruited by the Wolf Clan before being casted aside after losing in the Tournament of the Sources, later becoming a bounty hunter before eventually being brought back to the monastery to heal from inflicted injuries.
    • Kai left the team, due to being trapped in the Nether-Space, but returned upon Nya opening the portal.
    • Wyldfyre briefly left the team to vent some anger over losing Kai, but came back after reuniting three baby Lava Dragons with their mother.
    • Arin left the team upon being deceived by Ras and nursed him back to health and briefly fought alongside them against Thunderfang before eventually rejoining Ras to find a way to bring his parents back.
    • Sora left the team to join Arin and Ras in bringing back Arin's parents.
  • The new ninja (Arin, Sora, Wyldfyre, and Frak) are the only ones to not have a criminal record.
    • Nya had one as well, although it was erased by Jay's final wish.
  • When asked where the ninja take money, Tommy Andreasen replied, "We can say they are funded by Borg if that eases you."[52] and "The[y] have a 'Kick-back-Whip-Around-And-Spin-Starter' w[h]ere people can donate."[53]
  • P.I.X.A.L. is the only official member of the team who is not a ninja, yet have ninja abilities.
    • In Riyu's case, he was training to be a ninja to obtain such skills like the ninja team, practicing Spinjitzu with Sora under Rontu's guidance until the Blood Moon appeared.
  • Arin and P.I.X.A.L. are the only official members of the team to not harness an Elemental Power.
  • Wyldfyre, Riyu, and P.I.X.A.L. are the only official members of the team who do not know Spinjitzu or any form of it.
    • Riyu started training under the tutelage of Rontu from Season 2 onward.
  • Wyldfyre and Frak are the only Elemental Masters of the team who have not yet reached their True Potential.[54]
  • Apart from Nya, who wasn't a ninja at the time, the ninja did not have their hair pieces in the sets until 2014 in the Rebooted wave as part of their Techno gi designs, even though their hair was seen in the TV series (even more than their masked appearances) since 2011. Before that, Jay, Cole, and Zane's hairpieces existed in other LEGO themes, while both of Lloyd's existed but not in blond, and Kai's did not exist at all, as it was designed by WILFilm for the show.[55] Young Lloyd's hair did not physically exist until it was released in 71741 Ninjago City Gardens, almost nine years after its first appearance in the show in "Never Trust a Snake."
  • The Hageman Brothers' names for the ninja in the first beat sheet for the pilot were Ash, Wynn, Rayne, and Cole, puns on ash, wind, rain, and coal.[56]
  • According to Lloyd, each of the classic ninja can feel their powers through different parts of the body.
    • Cole feels Earth in his guts.[57]
    • Zane senses Ice in his mind.[57]
    • Nya feels Water through her veins.[57]
      • Chris "Doc" Wyatt jokingly gave non-canon answers for Kai, Jay, and Lloyd:[58]
        • Kai feels fire in his neck.[59]
        • Jay feels Lightning in his kidneys.[59]
        • Lloyd feels Energy in his beard.[59]
      • He later gave ones for Sora and Wyldfyre.[60]
        • Sora feels Technology in her brain.
        • Wyldfyre feels Heat in her heart.
  • The ninja at one point or another had different topics they feared the most.
    • Kai is afraid of water.
      • Kai's fear of water vanished once his powers returned as shown in scenes from Skybound, The Hands of Time, Sons of Garmadon, The Island, and Seabound where he is near or submerged in water but isn't shown to be scared anymore.
    • Jay is afraid of attics.
    • Cole was afraid of dragons, until he befriended Rocky, his fear shifted to Serpentine until they made peace, his fear shifted to ghosts until he got used to being one.
    • Zane feared he would lose his humanity.
    • Lloyd was afraid of heights before conquering it to summon his Elemental Dragon, feared of becoming his father, though he possibly got past it after reconciling with the latter at the end of Crystalized. His fear shifted to failing Wu.
    • Nya feared of becoming normal, losing her friends, and Jay treating her like a complete stranger.
    • Arin feared that his parents would be disappointed in him and blamed him for having replaced them by a new family.
    • Sora feared being confronted again with Beatrix and Ras.
    • Wyldfyre was afraid of heights until she conquered it in order to rescue Roby from falling and feared that Heatwave gets the Wasting Sickness.[61]
    • Frak is afraid of giant puppets.
  • According to earlier concepts and tweets, Jay was originally stated to be the Green Ninja.
