They cooked with this episode. It literally has to be in the story. The sword shattering on Lloyd made him lose the tournament. While I'm not a fan of sora winning the tournament I can live with it. since sora is basically a new ninja as a whole so maybe her winning was a better call so they found a way to make sure Lloyd loses which I'm completely fine with it executed good. She has a lot of development to go threw and now that Arin is basically the new morro it would be interesting to see how sora and Arin's relationship will go out.
@@S-Magma1215 She's a newbie, the ninja and the other elemental masters are well trained adults that are great elemental masters. But they just had to pull the rigged tournament on them not sora.
I think my favorite part of the fight was when she used the duplication, and how Lloyd combated it. Taking advantage of her anger as well as her insecurities so that way she would single herself out......... brilliance.
Completely agree. This episode was phenomenal and easily one of the best from Dragons Rising. Lloyd vs Zeatrix is absolutely peak and I will hear nothing less. I agreed with everything you brought up and actually had a lot of the same thoughts. As an extremely hardcore Ninjago fan who loves analyzing chatacters and plots, and writing in general, these are some of my favorite types of videos. I love hearing what other people thought about stuff like this and I very much agree with what you said. Lloyd's character is absolutely incredible and I wish he got more appreciation for it. His character development is INSANE and it's so awesome to look back to Rise of the Snakes and see the mischievous little kid who's matured into the legendary Green Ninja. I've loved all of Lloyd's journey, but his arc in Dragons Rising has really hit hard as someone who also deals with anxiety and putting a lot of pressure on oneself. I love how no matter what he goes through, being possessed, losing his father, being betrayed, almost dying at the hands of his father, having anxiety, to name a few, he never loses his kind, gentle demeanor. I have so much respect for him and that's one of my favorite things about his character. All the people saying he's an awful master really bother me, because yeah, he's not perfect. But no one is. And please, try to be sympathetic and look at what he has to deal with while trying to train two children. While there are some things to be improved upon, he's doing very well. I'm very passionate about Lloyd's character, so I'll stop here before I get going too much lol. Anyways, you've more than earned a sub and I greatly enjoyed listening to your stance.
@@Beezos5050 Wow, I appreciate your comment so much!! I completely agree with everything you said! I love watching the early seasons and just seeing how much Lloyd has changed but how much he’s still the same. I think his character development gets ignored by some of the fandom, but he truly has one of the greatest character development/arcs of the series. Thank you so much for subscribing!!
im a HUGE lloyd fan probably the BIGGEST FAN of lloyds charatar so im open to answer ANY questions relating lloyd or conversations no matter how long the paragraph whatever episodes pacifically this one though is my fav from this season. glad to meet another ninjago fan and im open to discussing this show and this awesome character.
Completely agree, I'm so glad to see someone else appreciate the great writing of DR! Also, I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to make a third video this dang good!! Subscribed.
I'm calling it now; we've found one of the next great ninjago youtubers. You're gonna join the ranks of Crysty 783, Bendobricks, Parachuting Kitten and all the other great youtubers that have made a name for themselves through ninjago video essays. I can feel it. I know it.
This was one of the first things I showed my friend about Ninjago. And it wasn't a bad first impression She said she didn't think a lego show could be so entertaining I don't think she will continue to watch the show, but at least it left a good impression on her
This episode was really great. Never thought about the fight but maybe after the rewatch it Lloyd vs Zeatrix maybe be my second favorite after Sora vs Dizzy (master of balence). I also love how Lloyd is handled in DR, not only for finally have the role of master but also his vision which I have to say the writers did a fantastic not only making him struggle mentally but also being feared of his own future. Little criticism I can see in this video is when some part you speed your voice a little to much but this could be me as I delt with videos that have people speaking fast a little
i agree with this entire analysis; if you can believe it, i actually wrote a whole essay about this episode to practice for one of my classes lol. but the use of the fight between lloyd and zeatrix along with the complex role of lloyd's fear really makes this episode my favorite dr episode ever so far. amazing video ❤
This Episode was the one I looked forward to the most, not only did it sound great from the Descriptions I saw previous to the Episodes release, but also because the named was totally awesome and gave you so many thoughts on to how this Episode could of been written!! Lloyd’s Arc has been great so far in Dragons rising too, I loved his development in the previous Seasons but Dragons Rising is truly my most favourite by far and Dragons Rising hasn’t even ended yet nor close to finishing! Sora winning the Tournament was expected, but done well. It makes a change of an Elemental Master winning such as Lloyd, Nya, Cole etc. The second half of Season 2 is truly amazing, from Arin running after Lord Ras. The Tournament of the Sources, Jay wearing a Wolf Mask even! It kept me interested the whole time! I can’t wait to see what the Writers do with Arin, I hope they don’t make him a Bad Guy, but I hope they don’t make him a Good Guy to quickly. I truly love what the Writers are doing with Dragons Rising. Also, How you looked into the Episode and described everything was also very nice, your voice is nice and calming and goes well with the Background Music!
@@Ve_eee Thank you so much! I loved reading your thoughts about the season! I always feel a bit insecure about how my voice sounds, so this comment made me feel better about that. Thank you!!
Hi, I just saw your video and I gotta say, as a day one Ninjago fan, this was a really fantastic breakdown video. Honestly, I’m still trying to decide what I like, best from dragons rising season two. but after watching your video, I can see this episode in a much more deeper light and I have a new appreciation for this chapter in the story. I gotta say, you’re really skillful at this. Have you ever considered reviewing the rest of dragons rising? I just subscribed. :)
You lady have a new subscriber :] I really love this video 9:50 Honestly I want to listen to these thoughts, I have a lot as well but I feel they are too much for a youtube comment
imo they should humanize zane more bc borg said hes the balance of human and tech and rn it just shows a walking computer that's all I see a 010101 binary ass blue eyed steel ni I mean dude they need to fix him
Best episode of the whole show- No Best episode of Dragons Rising- No, but it's up there Best episode of DR season 2- Maybe Best episode of DR S2 part 2- Yes
Could you make a video about Lloyd, and comparing him to his Masters of Spinjitzu counterpart and analyze how he's changed, for better or for worse because I would like to hear your opinion on the topic. Also, your video was great, keep up the good work.
imo lloyd vs zeatrix fight just felt kinda off idk like lloyd turning giant and then ant sized, and zeatrix riding in a bubble, it was just a bit too much it didn't feel like something that'd be in ninjago. Great vid btw new sub.
I originally did not like this episode. Now that I've seen this video... I think it's okay. A 6.5/10 or so. I am really sorry, but I just feel like Lloyd is repeating his arc from the first half of the season. In S2P2, he realized that him fighting the visions only makes them worse and him stressed. Now, he is getting worried about his visions, until he learns that fighting it only makes it worse and him stressed. Wow! It is also a little late for an "investigational meeting" scene at this point. It's been 5 episodes since they've got there and most of the investigation has already happened, so why introduce a new red-herring and a "new start for the mission" now? Lastly, Ras' intelligence drops significantly in this episode. Why be mad at Frak for listening to Cole's advice when Cole's advice let him win? Without it, his whole mission might have been compromised, so yelling at Frak for this not only accomplishes nothing, but also directly causes Frak to turn on him. This is so out of character for Ras, who is otherwise the best part of the season for me, so yeah, I hated that scene. However, your analysis was not only quite wholesome with all the casual thoughts, but it was a genuinely pretty good analysis of the Zeatrix vs. Lloyd fight that made me like the episode (I do not want to know how often I wrote "episode" in this comment.).
No need to be sorry, everyone is entitled to their own opinions! I was also really interested in hearing opinions from people who didn't really like the episode, so I appreciate your comment a lot! I agree with your point about Ras, I feel he became a little more petty in this episode haha. Thanks for your comment!!

Honestly more people would complain Lloyd made it to the finals in both tournaments
What was wrong with sora winning? I mean technically Nokt won anyway
@@S-Magma1215 he also cheated anyways
@@S-Magma1215 She's a newbie, the ninja and the other elemental masters are well trained adults that are great elemental masters. But they just had to pull the rigged tournament on them not sora.
@@cooldude_not Soras matches were rigged as well tho? Her first match was about balancing to the goal against the master of balance
I think my favorite part of the fight was when she used the duplication, and how Lloyd combated it.

Excellent analysis of this great dragons rising episode. I'm excited to see what episode you're going to review next.
I think this is the best episode
I feel like saying that Lloyd's elemental power is life is like saying that Kai's elemental power is motion!

Lloyd vs Zeatrix = best writing of all episodes in dragons rising
agree! this was such a top tier episode i LOVED it!
This season was defiantly one of the best but with the new Lego sets being leaked for season 3 it looks alright
I really wish I could rewatch it! Please Netflix, release Part 2.
@@Regeor The episodes are also on Lego’s RUclips channel!
I found a few of the part 1 episodes but no part 2 ones. Maybe they’re region-locked?
