OH MY FUCKING GOD ARCANE S2 JUST HAD A DRS2P2 MOMENT

Yeah. And the quote we once found "cringe":

"Ninja never quit"

Has helped me a lot of times as well (even recently) and i'm not ashamed to admit it :)

We can make fun of Ninjago’s lessons all we want however I would be lying if I’d say I haven’t repeated “When there is no calm outside of you find the calm inside of you” during stressful situations (exams) and that it didn’t helped.

I always knew french will be useful once (nah)

Here is the transcript for that new trailer

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lloyd: Arin may be stuck(/blocked) alone with ras. At the same time Jay too. (Is missing)

. . . . . . . . . .. . . .. . .

Wyfy: Look!

....... . .. . . .. . .

Cole: We'll find them.

. . . .. . . . .. . . . . .

Thunderfang: Find the swords! Free me!

. . . . .. . .. . .. .

HOLY SHIT WINGS OWNDJWLDBKAJD

. . . .. . . . .. . . ..

Thunderfang: I return! / I'm reborn!

Thats it~

(i havent touched french in years so keep mistakes in mind)

I literally thought of this lately its insane how we don't bring this up more.

I was thinking about the whole s4 dilemma of zane's elemental dragon haunting him.

And in the end he realized the thing holding him back was his own failure and confusion to understand his own self. That he isn't the white ninja. That guy died. Hes just a copy of that hero, with all memories.

He is now the titanium ninja, who has to wear this cloak of who he was meant to be and become

This is a rare non Wu post, but this has been in my head for a while now and I need to say it, just a small theory/thought. Don't take it too seriously..

But

Our Zane is DEAD.

Wild thought, right? Like we've seen him come back time and time again, how could he be dead? He's a robot he can't die- no. You don't understand.

Zane DIED in season 3. The son that Dr Julien MADE with his love and care, is DEAD. I've been trying to pinpoint why Zane hasn't felt right to me ever since s3, maybe it's just the way he was made but he further becomes a bot, than, Zane, further becomes the protector of those who cannot protect themselves, than ZANE, than OUR cooking, funny, jokes and japes loving Zane. The Zane who was confused but was..Human nonetheless. The Zane we never even thought could be anything else BUT human, just. Different.

That Zane died when he sacrificed himself. What he was made from, made WITH, could not be replicated. The titanium ninja might look like our Zane, might sound like him sometimes. But he's empty. And only further growing farther than what Zane was. A brother. A friend. Now he's an informat laying heavily on the FACT that he IS a nindroid that can be replaced. Because he WAS replaced.

Our Zane is gone.

And he's not coming back.

OMFGALJANSOABSKOWVSLAB😭😭😭

HES MAGNIFICENT

(the sets arent out where i live yet T_T )

MORRO AQUIRED!!!!!!!

The set is probably overpriced ($40 for 300 pieces) but I don't care because MORRO!!!

haha get imprisoned loser

I dont have a great spot for him but for now he's gonna chill on my shelf above my monitor, right in front of my medications. Probably not the best idea considering how much that shelf gets bumped/wobbled and he will almost certainly fall over but that's fine he looks cool there

Also they gave me this cute lil toucan 3-in-1 as a freebie :D

I need whatever he took

there are wonders in this world for all to see

(I had this in my drafts for half a year i forgor)

CRACKHEAD THEORY RANT TIME

(plus dive into Ras'plans??)

People, I'm putting my money's worth on Ras'master being the First Spinjitzu Master!

So i can't rant nicely now but look:

Grasslands vibe!!4!

And the place where Ras'master teleported the dojo

Also it's clear that it's someone/something with great power if they can just do that.

And my theory on it being a source dragon has been buried with s2pt2(cause of the dead "balance" source dragon), so if not a source dragon then what. Well, eighter a new powerful character or FSM.

Also the color theme is very much Golden for the master...

As why he can't communicate normally is an intresting question.

Cause he speaks in morse code or broken toaster with Ras.

Maybe the merge fucked with his ability to communicate or smth(more on this below)

More reasons and Ras plan dissection contain SPOILERS for s2pt2 under!

We now know the goal of Ras and the Master:

To reverse the merge

(and all of this, somehow through the Sources, maybe capturing or even killing them, as we now know)

Sounds intresting, considering it doesnt exactly makes sense rn. Like, i get it, the merge was made to be prevented, it shouldn't have happened, but the merged lands are mixed right now. I don't even know how you could separate them anymore.

So obviously, the FSM was the first to want to prevent the merge, with the help of the Sources. He also created multiple standalone realms.

We also know, Wu had something to do with the eruption of the merge. Now its probable he didn't cause it directly and on purpose, since he was looking like he wanted to prevent it. My guess, maybe he was searching for the Dragon Cores and use them similarly of how Lloyd later fixes the merge quakes. And the origin of the merge is tied to the early Spinjitzu family, or just the FSM.

"Too soon"

So he did know it will come, just way more later.

But obviously:

So he didn't tell anyone but he probably knew this might happen all along cause his daddy told him... Oh Wu when will you learn

The last thing he tells Lloyd is:

"Remember, family is key"

Is also very intresting...

Another note, circling back to the idea that the FSM can't communicate properly is the exact same situation with Wu!

He is audiably struggling to talk to the ninja and barely speaks words.

So what if the merge affected the whole early Spinjitzu family (excluding Lloyd ofc). We don't know anything of Garmadon as of now tho, but he could be in a similar position.

Wu lives with this mistake he had a part in, but i doubt it's simple. It's probably the FSM's fault to begin with, as the possibility of realms colliding came after he created multiple more.

The reason why Ras' Master can't be Wu(plus he might doesn't even know the FSM did seek help from Ras) is simple. He is definetly not powerful enough to transport the Shadow Dojo. We haven't seen his full powers, but seeing him in this weakened spirit state is pretty much enough to prove that.

Another thing. He led the ninja to this location:

Which leads to the Monasteries in each realm. (Or just the 16 monasteries, since there seems to be both one in Imperium and one in The Land of Lost Things, which were in the same realm)

Ultimately this could be to warn them about the forbidden five's plans. Which doesn't contradict anything, the Forbidden Five has no intrest in Ras' plan, nor the Source dragons. But they can definetly complicate things.

But i am not sure if Wu has anything to do with Ras' plan or master as of now, but i can't explain it why. He may have, I don't know...

Also:

You guys think the Cauldron of Realms is the place Wu led the ninja to?

It doesn't look, cauldron-y but it definetly leads to all realms... And the place was referred to as a Monastery so maybe unlikely.

...

Anyways i'd love to hear your thoughts on this theory!

And with s3 around the corner this might change

Arin was specifically written to be voiced by me, due to pie-baking being my personal hobby. And in anticipation of Ninjago: Dragons Rising Season 3…
