Lego Ninjago, a show that came out on January 14, 2011. A show that most people should know and is featured on Netflix, Pluto Tv and Roku. Lego Ninjago was one of my favorite shows growing up and my favorite ninja was the fire ninja Kai. I loved Kai’s main character energy and caught myself saying his signature line “fire”everytime he used his elemental power. Lego Ninjago is owned by Wildbrain Studios in Canada. Ninjago has had multiple seasons and a movie called The Lego Ninjago Movie back in September 27, 2017 starring Jackie Chan. Ninjago is home to many powerful ninjas but who is the best ninja of them all?

In the beginning of the series there were 4 ninjas. The 4 ninjas were Kai, Zane, Cole and Jay. These 4 ninjas did not start off with elemental powers instead they had elemental golden weapons. The elemental golden weapons are The sword of fire, The scythe of quakes, the shuriken of ice and the nunchucks of lightning. The first season of ninjago, Rise of the snakes, was focused on the ninja unlocking their golden weapons and their true potential.

True potential is a word used a lot in the series of lego ninjago. True potential is often used to describe overcoming internal struggle or gaining more mastery of your elemental power. The ninja all had to overcome internal conflict from figuring out you’re not a human and a robot and accepting it or figuring out that you’re not supposed to be the strongest ninja, you’re supposed to protect him. True potential is a way the ninja figure out who they are truly supposed to become and become stronger in The Green Ninja was known as the strongest ninja ever alive. The green ninja was supposed to control all 4 elements including fire,ice, earth and lightning including his energy power. Lloyd, originally a 10 year old brat trying to be evil like his father Lord Garmedon, but ultimately switched sides after being shown kindness by the ninja. Lloyd was the reason why Kai unlocked his true potential while saving him from a volcano and gained greater heights. A few weeks after knowing he was the green ninja the rest of the ninja got splashed by a potion turning them into children like Lloyed and when they defeated the threat Lloyd made a sacrifice and grew up with the fellow ninja and was turned back.ways they never imagined possible.

To stop the ninja from becoming too powerful the creators of Ninjago often remove powerful abilities or special forms the ninja learned, so that the characters do not become too overpowered. For example, in season 5, Nya was originally a fighter known as Samurai X, but during that season, she was introduced to her elemental water powers. Also in season 5, Lloyd, the Green Ninja, was possessed by a ghost named Morro, who was Master Wu’s first student. This forced the other ninja to fight Morro’s ghost army in order to rescue Lloyd.

In the latest series of Ninjago, Ninjago Dragons Rising. We have introduced new villains and new and old elemental abilities. In this series The ninja are caught in an event called the merge. The merge brought together all of the realms including Ninjago. As the Ninja are separated they all have to find their way to each other. In the process of separation Lloyd found 2 children trying to be ninja and decided to take them under his wing and make them ninja. In this new season they are facing more formidable villains than ever and the ninja need to take them down, probably facing the biggest challenge they have yet. As different people have different interpretations of their favorite characterś strengths and weaknesses. Who do you think is the best ninja in Ninjago?
