Was this just an excuse to edit Ninjago episodes? Maybe I suddenly remembered about this and remembered that it was literally my entire childhood, so I went back to check and make sure it wasn’t just a fever dream and here it is :) I spent three days of my mortal life on this enjoy
Zane being a robot was a better plot twist than like 90% of modern media. Hell, most of Ninjago (like early Ninjago) had better plot twists than modern media.
as im getting older im realizing how much this show was "for boys" and im very thankful that i had two older brothers that made me watch things like this with them.
I was the exact same way. I was a little girl obsessed with the stereotypical girly things like dressing up and Disney Princesses, but I adored Ninjago. I didn’t have any older brothers though, I ended up finding it on my own with my sister and we loved it, and I’m happy it’s part of my childhood too.
I don't have older brothers but idk how I ended up being so obsessed with this show lol😭 I remember no one wanted to buy me the Lego sets because they were "for boys"
Nah, it was Lloyd being selected as the Green ninja, really wanted it to be Zane and I thought it was gonna be him, since he unlocked his true potential first
I remember absolutely bawling my eyes out when Zane 'died' back in season 3 I think, and then being so fucking happy when Cole found him later in Chen's dungeon. One of the best shows fr
Same here, Zane is my favourite and his sacrifice was so sad to see, especially when the flashbacks kicked in. I was glad when Cole found him again too and started tearing up from happiness when he slowly peaked out from behind the door.
Imagine Team Ninjago ( Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane) would fight against Team Winx Club ( Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa) Who would win? In elementary school we had loads of discussions whether Team Ninjago or Team Winx Club is better Of course all the boys were Team Ninjago and every single girl used to be Team Winx Club Fun times😊
I remember back in the kindergarten four of my "classmates" were pretending to be the ninjas and since they hated me they wanted to annoy me by calling me little lloyd and this was before we knew that he was green ninja, and when we found out, they were so pissed and jealous that they stopped pretending to be ninjas entirely
Zane being a robot is even more shocking when you remember that one time in the first season where he got frozen in a block of ice and while the others carried him back Cole made a comment about how heavy he was
When I was a kid and saw that scene for the first time, I had the most "shocked cartoon character" type of reaction possible. Straight up sound effects and my jaw on the floor.
Speaking as someone who never followed this show, I must say it’s good to see someone’s enthusiasm for their childhood favourites and highlighting their best moments.
@@J3ffik Huh. Just checked and it is still going on. I’ve been revisiting Slugterra and the Max Steel reboot myself. Not exactly childhood but I did drop off before the stories finished.
What time did this show come on? I only remember watching this and legends of chima like ONCE in the evening right before it went to adult swim and then I never saw it again I'm assuming early morning like Pokemon BW and Ben 10
@@octosax1515 Problem with CN is that they never re-ran episodes. I think there was a marathon with all of the episodes for a week leading up to a larger than normal episode, but seeing an episode after it's initial release was rare
A detail I find interesting is, like stated it's first seen as a joke, that Zane wears a pink apron, but he keeps wearing it and it stops being mentioned
Funny thing with that, Kai’s hair doesn’t look like lego because they never decided on a hair piece for him. So the animators just, made one up. Can’t say I don’t prefer the new hair though, it looks less out of place
Same here! I remember we were walking up the stairs (my brothers and I) and we were speculating on Zane's origins. We were going upstairs to watch the show. One of my brothers remembered a clip of Blade Runner our dad showed us (the part where Deckard tells Racheal she is a replicant and shows her pictures of her "childhood".) So my brother explained that he speculated that Zane was most likely a robot since he didn't have parents and didn't remember his childhood. I think that's a crazy theory, but then we all settle down on the couch and open the TV. Ninjago starts, and low and behold it's the exact episode where Zane is revealed to be a robot! Absolute insane coincidence.

This in my opinion was the peak of the Lego ninjago series until they added a movie and like 15 more seasons to it. Me remembering that this show was a part of my childhood brings much more memories than I could have ever imagined.Truly a relic of my past that I will cherish forever

I’ve entered, left, re-entered and left this fandom many times, and even though I might not rejoin the fandom again, this show still holds a special place in my heart. Tbh it hits deeper when you’re older because then you can actually get the jokes/quotes with deeper meaning. I remember being obsessed with this show. And I still love it.

And I can’t find it anywhere on Google so I might edit this comment when I do find it. God there’s no way for me to properly describe how much I loved, love and will always love this show. Edit: I found the quote! It was “If you can’t change your circumstances, change yourself.” It’s from the episode called “The Void”. Also, my older brother and I literally still quote/reference the “Zane you’re squeezing my arm” part regularly to this day.
It's hard to believe that Ninjago is still ongoing, I remember back when the Green Ninja was announced as being a thing everyone in school was speculating what his Element would be and we kinda landed on Poison
@That Muggle-Born Demigod his element.. which isn't actually an element in the regular sense, is life... or green, but green in this case represents life which connects all living beings (but he can shoot sick blasts of energy so there's that)
I remember watching the season 2 finale when it first aired (it was the series finale in promos) , I was absolutely blown away and couldn't believe that it ended so beautifully.
when i was younger i used to watch ninjago all the time with my 2 years younger brother, it was literally my childhood. it's been years, i'm 15 now (i was just 3 when the show came out, i'm pretty sure) and i recently came back to this show!! i rewatched the seasons i already watched and watched the new ones, i just finished the last season yesterday and started tearing up. that was not only because of the ending, but also cause i suddenly rememberd how i was so young and hyped when the 6th season came out and yesterday, i was there, sitting on the couch, watching the last episode of the 16th season. i'm really glad i at least have dragons rising. maybe it's not the same but it has some og characters. this show will stay forever in my heart :D tldr; i love ninjago!!1!1!
As a kid I always thought the little pilot series was season one and this was season two, I remember getting so hype watching the trailer where Lloyd opened the serpentine tomb on the CN website as a kid. Oh the nostalgia
I agree, I love Zane so much, he's my favourite character on the show (smart, logical, kind, caring, adorable, analytical, mature, selfless, level headed, methodical and just plain awesome). Always standing for peace, freedom and courage and always protecting those who cannot protect themselves. He was a robot but knew how to be a better human being than all the others. Those two episodes were also very emotional too.
When Kai said that his destiny wasn't to be the green ninja, but to protect the green ninja, and it turns out that Lloyd was the green ninja, it blew my mind when I was a kid! Lloyd and Kai's friendship was so brotherly and I loved watching it. Especially in season 5 Kai becomes a big brother character to Lloyd, it warmed my heart. Ninjago was my childhood.
I felt cool because I managed to figure it out before the show revealed it by noticing that lloyd's eyes were the same as the green Ninja's eyes on the Lego set boxes
I remember my grandma wouldn’t let me watch the final of the season 2 because it was „too scary for me” so i watched it from behind the sofa with my bro and it’s a core memory now
Honestly, the creators of Ninjago are fucking geniuses, they combined 2 things that every 9-year-old boy loved ninjas and legos (WTFF HOW DOES THIS HAVE SO MANY LIKES)
Bro the nostalgia on this is unreal. So back when I was 7, i sometimes slept in my parents bedroom and I would sometimes go in the middle of the night and while I was rounding the corner (there was a corner on the edge of the kitchen and the dining room leading to my parents bedroom) I imagined that the great devourer about as thick as our 8ft tall roof, was chasing me, and me and my parents now talk about how I was running to their bedroom at like 1:00 am screaming at the top of my lungs. So yeah I remember this show and still love it
Rewatching the Cole coming out as a ninja scene now and I am just like “damn. That’s fucking deep” I legit cried because it was so sad when his dad wouldn’t accept him. I feel you man. At least Cole’s dad accepted him.
Okay but imagine 14yro Cole: Dad, I’m gay His Dad: Of course son, love who you love :) 14yro Cole: Oh thank god, I’m so glad. I also don’t really like dancing- His Dad: YOU WHAT- (Okay but looking back on that scene, damn. I know it probably wasn’t intended to be a metaphor for coming out, but it hits hard. On rewatch a lot of what the ninja do or say are metaphors for a lot of things if you look hard enough)
The nostalgia... I remember being so ashamed that I was watching this show because it "wasn't for girls" I have never ever told anyone I was watching ninjago just because "girls are not allowed to watch such things". It's weird that I even had these thoughts, everyone in my family is incredibly supportive and would never say such things!
I've honestly enjoyed everything I've seen of it thus far and I'm sad that my childhood self thought it was super immature or whatever dumbass excuse I told myself
1:03 Originally, Zane was in fact going to be autistic, and then the writers were like "Screw it, let's make him a nindroid instead" and used that to explain his "strange" behavior.
Pythor feels like the most underrated villain of this show to me. He doesn’t feel like a very menacing threat anymore, especially compared to the other shit they face later on but he felt like a big deal when I was a kid, and that means a lot to me now
Pythor was always the minifigure I always wanted as a kid and finally getting him (either christmas of 2012 or 2013) was just about the best thing that could have happened to a kid back then
yes, after putting a literal GOD OF EVIL, the DESTRUCTION INCARNATED, A FUCKING DIMENSION INCARNATED, time travelers, a ancient sea beast, somenone who can absrob elements, etc etc. Pitor really just gets oversahdowed XD.
I had a huge grin on my face this whole video! It brings back so many good memories watching these episodes on Saturday afternoons with my siblings! Good times! :D
Judging by how Ninjago City looked in Season 1, I bet they saved a big chunk of the animation budget for the Devourer. And that payed off, because he still looks gorgeous almost 10 years later. Also, Pythor is such a diva.
I miss season 1 Zane. As an autistic person myself I used to relate so much with his character but now in modern Ninjago they just treat him as the smart robot character and a lot of his original charm is just not there anymore. I don’t want to be that one fan who thinks old Ninjago is better because of nostalgia (in fact Ninjago has improved quite a bit in my opinion) but new Zane just feels so dry to watch.
Yeah, I getcha. Ninjago improved in a lot of ways over the years... but classic Zane really was something special. (A true neurodivergent icon, you might say.)
This show still holds up remarkably well even watching it as an adult. It's one of (if not the only) show that I watched back then that I can watch now and enjoy without cringing my eyes out, even if the animation isn't as good as I remember it.
"he used fang quon do!" has the same energy as that background character from ATLA live action who, as a firebender, was shocked that Zuko could produce fire.
Two of the biggest plot twists of my childhood. Zane being a robot and Lloyd being the green ninja. Gave me goosebumps back then and it gave me goosebumps watching it again here. I love this show
It is truly a cannon event😌 Edit: isn't it funny how they fell from ridiculously high heights and survived repeatedly, but in one of the later seasons cole falls and everyone thought he died- Edit 2: lmao I forgot he fell into the smoke thingy
As an 18 year old (I'm finally 18 now, my birthday was Jul. 20). This show was everything to me as a child, especially the parts where Zane finds out he's a Nindroid, Garmadon sacrificing himself to the Cursed Realm, Lloyd being possessed by Morro (my favorite season to be honest, Morro was a good villain and good plot, very emo and dramatic too) I'm very glad that I still watch this show to this day.
I just started my rewatching a few days ago (already almost done with season 4) and the nostalgia is insane. I only got to season 6 before dropping the show so I can’t wait to see how it continues.
god i miss the old days of ninjago, sure i dont watch it anymore since i’ve grown up but honestly it was one hell of a ride being a kid and watching this gold of a show
I love how Cole is like “ I’m a ninja and I save the world and can make cool tornado thingys” his dad responds: “go join one direction bitch” Edit: Holy shit thx for the likes
@UCG9di03JEO_0Z1D3lIZc2uA Cole: I have been chosen to hold one of the four most powerful weapons out there, and have trained intensely for the past- Cole’s Dad: You aren’t in BTS, I have no son
The 'Me pretending to come out in the shower' was hilarious "I found something new that I'm really good at" "Dad, I'm -gay- a ninja" "Maybe if he just saw you in action"
1. This entire video was nostalgia city. 2. The commentary/notes are everything lmao. 3. I'll be making a list of my favorite side notes as I watch. -"Siri." -"Oogway." -"Dora" -"Lloyd's edgy phase." -"Zane's my favorite." (Dude same) -"Lmao I forgot each 'S' lasted two whole seconds." (Again, same) -"The Bromance in this scene is beautiful lol." -"Pythor and Scales being in a failing marriage." (All parts) -"Kai tripping balls for half a minute straight." -"Oh no, however will they pass this two foot wall?" -"Vibrates aggressively." -"Hello, bruthaa." -"How social anxiety says people will react to me." -"DANGER NOODLE" -"Living in quarantine pretending the world isn't falling apart." -"Insomnia, anxious thoughts, existential dread, future commitments." -"Me @ my demonic cat." -"Braincells aligning.... Panik." -"Tickles wind chimes while drinking a smoothie." *(In hindsight, this is a lot of favorites. I like the whole video lmao.)*
Funny story: Ninjago was how I learned English. When I was 10 I really wanted to watch it but there was no dub in my country, so I just decided to watch it in English. I couldn't speak any English at the time, but I became obsessed with Ninjago so I just watched it non-stop. Eventually, I ended up learning the language because of it. This video was pure nostalgia :')
Authority: you must take these tests to learn english or else. This madlad: learns english just by watching what was meant to be a lego commercial Authority: .....
Same thing, but with video games. I remember playing to my favorite game, but I wasn't talking with the community at all, since it was almost 100% English.

And I can’t find it anywhere on Google so I might edit this comment when I do find it. God there’s no way for me to properly describe how much I loved, love and will always love this show.
Edit: I found the quote! It was “If you can’t change your circumstances, change yourself.” It’s from the episode called “The Void”. Also, my older brother and I literally still quote/reference the “Zane you’re squeezing my arm” part regularly to this day.
as a girl, i LOVED THIS SHOW. I loved every part of it. i love my dad to introuducing me to it.
“GET YOUR HANDS OFF MEEEE” I laughed so hard....nostalgia hit so hard at the beginning....
Also did you use the “Chara appears at the end of the genocide route” sound whenever Pythor got mad...?
seeing someone so composed lose their composure is pretty satisfying.

It's hard to believe that Ninjago is still ongoing, I remember back when the Green Ninja was announced as being a thing everyone in school was speculating what his Element would be and we kinda landed on Poison
@That Muggle-Born Demigod his element.. which isn't actually an element in the regular sense, is life... or green, but green in this case represents life which connects all living beings (but he can shoot sick blasts of energy so there's that)
Yeah I’m still surprised it’s at its 15th season. I honestly loved the most recent season. I think it’s the best by far
@iiRoxy not even llyod knows what it is XD
I’m loving the baby Sidon profile pic.
When I was 10 I forgot Jay existed and thought lloyds was lightning 😐

I’m happy us 2000s kids are all finally old enough to talk about how great this show is.
I am not from 2000s but this was still my childhood.
@@hyninjax4897 same
A year older than the show
That was a massive flex back then
Edit: Emphasis on “Back then” cuz apparently that wasnt clear enough
@@Mast3rKK Dude, you're like 11 years old. That's not a flex at all.
I feel old so old right now
It's so weird being a 90s kid and seeing that this show is now nostalgic for an entire generation.
Let’s be honest here, Zane/his falcon’s theme was frickin beautiful.
Every time I hear it I just get hit by a truckload of nostalgia, it's so good
its called falcon chase and its on spotify
Legit every time I hear it I get goosebumps. It’s such a beautiful theme and I always feel super nostalgic when I hear it.
Little unrelated... is the show THAT long ago already?
I miss Zane as a human being before he turned into a cyborg in the future
when i was younger i used to watch ninjago all the time with my 2 years younger brother, it was literally my childhood. it's been years, i'm 15 now (i was just 3 when the show came out, i'm pretty sure) and i recently came back to this show!! i rewatched the seasons i already watched and watched the new ones, i just finished the last season yesterday and started tearing up. that was not only because of the ending, but also cause i suddenly rememberd how i was so young and hyped when the 6th season came out and yesterday, i was there, sitting on the couch, watching the last episode of the 16th season. i'm really glad i at least have dragons rising. maybe it's not the same but it has some og characters. this show will stay forever in my heart :D
tldr; i love ninjago!!1!1!
As a kid I always thought the little pilot series was season one and this was season two, I remember getting so hype watching the trailer where Lloyd opened the serpentine tomb on the CN website as a kid.
Oh the nostalgia
Let’s be real here, Zane is the best character, like the episode where he unlocks his true potential is just a tear jerker same with his sacrifice
I agree, I love Zane so much, he's my favourite character on the show (smart, logical, kind, caring, adorable, analytical, mature, selfless, level headed, methodical and just plain awesome). Always standing for peace, freedom and courage and always protecting those who cannot protect themselves. He was a robot but knew how to be a better human being than all the others. Those two episodes were also very emotional too.
Facts
@tord weck 🗿 I just watched that episode and now I’m sad
He really is though
For real man that scene makes me cry hahahahahah
When Kai said that his destiny wasn't to be the green ninja, but to protect the green ninja, and it turns out that Lloyd was the green ninja, it blew my mind when I was a kid! Lloyd and Kai's friendship was so brotherly and I loved watching it. Especially in season 5 Kai becomes a big brother character to Lloyd, it warmed my heart.
Ninjago was my childhood.
I felt cool because I managed to figure it out before the show revealed it by noticing that lloyd's eyes were the same as the green Ninja's eyes on the Lego set boxes
@@tylermannor4290 Same goes with the "secret identity" of Samurai X
@@hylbertvonmayhem6562 I mean getting her spinner was basically a spoiler for the show, because it was fairly obvious who she was once you got that

OUR childhood.
I remember my grandma wouldn’t let me watch the final of the season 2 because it was „too scary for me” so i watched it from behind the sofa with my bro and it’s a core memory now
5:10 man what the danger noodle do everyone put a RIP in the comments for him🐍
I've never forgotten the wisdom of "Butts are for sitting." And I'll likely carry it with me for my entire life.
In german its translated to: chairs are for sitting xd
I’m still waiting for jay to teach the others “the art of kissing pillows”
@SomeDood
Omg lol
Butts can be used for many other purposes
Buts are for FU-
Honestly, the creators of Ninjago are fucking geniuses, they combined 2 things that every 9-year-old boy loved ninjas and legos (WTFF HOW DOES THIS HAVE SO MANY LIKES)
Yeah i watched when i was 7 and loved so much
i was abt 4 when it came out, absolutely loved it
or 9 year old girl ;) (never liked dolls)
exactly best shit ever
9 year old girls too ;) Used to watch this with my brother we loved it
The way you spin some dramatic moments into jokes is too good. Thank you for this
This show come out when I was 5 and I’m now 17 and still touched by how this series has been at my side even if I slowly drifted away.
This show was a beacon of light to all kids, including myself, who watched this when they were young.
Yeah i loved it anyway
I remember you’d be treated like a god during elementary in kindergarten 1, and second grade if you had a lego set of any of the ninjas
Its still going on
I miss the simpler times.
Watched this from when I was 5 to when I was 10 lmao, great times
I love how Pythor in every scene is just like "ugh the STUPIDITY I have to deal with" lmao
Group projects be like..
And then he gets eaten because he naively thought he would be able to control the devourer. How ironic xD
Pythor was by far my favorite character
”Butts are for sitting”

"Me pretending to come out in the shower" THIS IS TOO PERFECT 💀
The bird: yo kid, you want drugs?

“You know Floyd…”
“It’s Lloyd.”
“*whatever.* this is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship….”
Bro the nostalgia on this is unreal. So back when I was 7, i sometimes slept in my parents bedroom and I would sometimes go in the middle of the night and while I was rounding the corner (there was a corner on the edge of the kitchen and the dining room leading to my parents bedroom) I imagined that the great devourer about as thick as our 8ft tall roof, was chasing me, and me and my parents now talk about how I was running to their bedroom at like 1:00 am screaming at the top of my lungs. So yeah I remember this show and still love it
This show was my whole childhood. And it’s still amazing.
Rewatching the Cole coming out as a ninja scene now and I am just like “damn. That’s fucking deep” I legit cried because it was so sad when his dad wouldn’t accept him. I feel you man. At least Cole’s dad accepted him.
“Hey dad I’m coming out of the closet as *N I N J A* “
Can we talk about the text that Kiwi wrote though?
Okay but imagine
14yro Cole: Dad, I’m gay
His Dad: Of course son, love who you love :)
14yro Cole: Oh thank god, I’m so glad. I also don’t really like dancing-
His Dad: YOU WHAT-
(Okay but looking back on that scene, damn. I know it probably wasn’t intended to be a metaphor for coming out, but it hits hard. On rewatch a lot of what the ninja do or say are metaphors for a lot of things if you look hard enough)
@@Thatonepersononline “The shampoo bottles” bro when I tell you I died laughing
@@kyd9269 I identify as a ninja
The nostalgia... I remember being so ashamed that I was watching this show because it "wasn't for girls" I have never ever told anyone I was watching ninjago just because "girls are not allowed to watch such things". It's weird that I even had these thoughts, everyone in my family is incredibly supportive and would never say such things!
Well thats surprising ig. Like where I live no one cares about if a girl watch it or not. Its made for all kids after all.
I've honestly enjoyed everything I've seen of it thus far and I'm sad that my childhood self thought it was super immature or whatever dumbass excuse I told myself
I suprisingly watch/watched Unikitty (YES, UNIKITTY) even if I am a boy. I just really enjoy it.
Anyone who doesn't watch ninjago has no childhood
@@kazota. true
one of the acutal shows that held up even in new seasons
1:03 Originally, Zane was in fact going to be autistic, and then the writers were like "Screw it, let's make him a nindroid instead" and used that to explain his "strange" behavior.
I remember sobbing my eyes out when Zane sacrificed himself- this is pure nostalgia at this finest, and im glad i was raised with this show.
Same here, I love Zane so much.
i sobbed for like 30 minutes over zane
I had a huge crush and evey time I saw that episode I cried
@@frog_lover5343 only 30 mins. I couldnt sleep a whole night because i was so traumatized by his death
@@ezioauditoredafirenze1840 his death was so sad though like I had dreams about it
Pythor feels like the most underrated villain of this show to me. He doesn’t feel like a very menacing threat anymore, especially compared to the other shit they face later on but he felt like a big deal when I was a kid, and that means a lot to me now
Pythor was always the minifigure I always wanted as a kid and finally getting him (either christmas of 2012 or 2013) was just about the best thing that could have happened to a kid back then
@@tylermannor4290 I still vividly remember being very excited to get the Great Devourer set back when that came out.

nice timestamp
I had a huge grin on my face this whole video! It brings back so many good memories watching these episodes on Saturday afternoons with my siblings! Good times! :D
Judging by how Ninjago City looked in Season 1, I bet they saved a big chunk of the animation budget for the Devourer. And that payed off, because he still looks gorgeous almost 10 years later.
Also, Pythor is such a diva.
The Devourer is a she ;)
A Yash
Pythor Za Diva🐍
True
Yesss
Its amazing how even when they saved budget the show still looked great
I miss season 1 Zane. As an autistic person myself I used to relate so much with his character but now in modern Ninjago they just treat him as the smart robot character and a lot of his original charm is just not there anymore. I don’t want to be that one fan who thinks old Ninjago is better because of nostalgia (in fact Ninjago has improved quite a bit in my opinion) but new Zane just feels so dry to watch.
Hmm 🤔 I never noticed that about him.
Yeah, I getcha. Ninjago improved in a lot of ways over the years... but classic Zane really was something special. (A true neurodivergent icon, you might say.)
The should add Echo Zane (as a part of the team), so he could act like old Zane-
I think old Zane is better too
And I can’t stand the whole Jay vs. Cole thing 🤬 THEY RUINED COLE
This show still holds up remarkably well even watching it as an adult. It's one of (if not the only) show that I watched back then that I can watch now and enjoy without cringing my eyes out, even if the animation isn't as good as I remember it.
Lord Garmadon was a genuinely good villain even for a kids show, and that laugh is almost as seared into my mind as Joker's
I grew up on Ninjago and I legit cried when zane "died"

"...and here we have the Ninjago corner"
"But it takes up a third of the room"
"Exactly"

Two of the biggest plot twists of my childhood. Zane being a robot and Lloyd being the green ninja. Gave me goosebumps back then and it gave me goosebumps watching it again here. I love this show
Nnooooo you spoiled it :(((
Same here, I love ninjago. Zane is my favourite and season 1 is my favourite.
And how freaking big the great devourer was holy...
I was pissed at first but then he got a good redemption arc. Too good for a kids show
It is truly a cannon event😌
Edit: isn't it funny how they fell from ridiculously high heights and survived repeatedly, but in one of the later seasons cole falls and everyone thought he died-
Edit 2: lmao I forgot he fell into the smoke thingy
cole canonically has super durability so it makes sense lol

As an 18 year old (I'm finally 18 now, my birthday was Jul. 20). This show was everything to me as a child, especially the parts where Zane finds out he's a Nindroid, Garmadon sacrificing himself to the Cursed Realm, Lloyd being possessed by Morro (my favorite season to be honest, Morro was a good villain and good plot, very emo and dramatic too) I'm very glad that I still watch this show to this day.
Almost the exact same. The nostalgia of season 5 is so high for me lol. I remember being absolutely blown away when Nya became a Ninja.😂
Same
the fuck happened in that show

YES SAME HERE!
Also I remember they had dragons and I was obsessed with it.
I just started my rewatching a few days ago (already almost done with season 4) and the nostalgia is insane. I only got to season 6 before dropping the show so I can’t wait to see how it continues.
god i miss the old days of ninjago, sure i dont watch it anymore since i’ve grown up but honestly it was one hell of a ride being a kid and watching this gold of a show
