True Sight
I'm never going to be ok about arin's porch swing
I'm laughing so hard at the idea of Kai and Akita just doing so Reckless™ and accidentally killing Kataru, Lloyd, nya (and the rest of the ninja too) via a heart attack. They'd barely make it through a day together.
Kai and Akita thrive off of Chaotic Righteous Moron Energy, they will not hesitate to pick a fight with anyONE you mess with them? You look at their family wrong? It’s Fight Time, there is no fear in either of these red-coded fools, they would pick a fight with the FSM himself for kicks. Kataru and Nya are in tears trying to get them not to Pick That Fight, Lloyd you’re trying but get that look out of your eyes, the other ninja are in the background with popcorn.
It does
Even the publishers can't resist emperor-posting
saw a video that said ‘when a found family’s motto gains a different meaning at the end of the series’ and like. dare i say ninja never quit.
at the beginning of the series it was motivating. they were little kids pushing themselves to be brave, trying to encourage each other that they can do this.
but now it’s borderline self destructive. they never quit, they never get a break, no matter what happens they have to push through, regardless of the cost.
zane holds onto the golden armor even as it starts breaking him apart, because he has to protect his friends, he can’t quit until the overlord is gone
jay holds out in season 6 even while being tortured, trying to convince himself that things would be okay if he just keeps going a little longer, that he can save everyone he just has to not quit
lloyd nearly and does get himself killed trying to defeat garmadon/the oni in s8-10, because ninja never quit.
nya sees the city get entirely destroyed, and realizes her only option is to give herself over to the sea. doesn’t matter the consequences, ninja never quit so if there’s a way to save everyone she has to do it even if it will kill her physical body
i’m sure there are tons more examples this is just off the top of my head, but like. it’s so heartbreaking to see them push themselves further and further as the show goes on, no matter the consequences. because ninja never quit right?
The Explorer's Club is one of the funniest episodes because it's basically a session of DnD where Nya decides she's Done Roleplaying 5 minutes in.
