Lloyd was the son of Lord Garmadon and Misako , nephew to Sensei Wu and grandson of the first Spinjitzu master . In The Episode " The Green Ninja " , Lloyd became the green ninja . A young , immature child obsessed with candy , Lloyd Garmadon attended the " Darkley ' s Boarding School for Bad Boys " . Lloyd accidentally stumbled upon the Hypnobrai and their General , Slithraa , while running away from the ninjas . Slithraa mistakenly uses his mind control on himself when he attempted to control Lloyd but hit a block of ice that reflected the hypnosis , allowing Lloyd to take over the Hypnobrai army for his childish acts in episode 1 " Rise Of The Snakes " . Slithraa ' s second in command , Skales , and the other members of the tribe were frustrated with their general forcing them to do childish deeds for Lloyd such as collecting all the candy in Jamonacai Village , and building a tree house . After a battle with the ninja , Skales and Slithraa had a battle in the " Slither Pit " in which Skales became general and Slithraa reverted back into his soldier form . The new general then banished Lloyd from their tribe , who left with a map that he had stolen from one of the Hypnobrai to find the other Serpentine tribes in episode 2 " Home " . He succeeds at this by unleashing the Fangpyre , who helped him with many things such as creating new vehicles and almost turning Ed and Edna into snakes in episode 3 " Snake Bit . " After being betrayed by the secret allegiance between the Fangpyre and Hypnobrai tribes , Lloyd decided to unleash the Anacondrai , but only found the last surviving member Pythor P . Chumsworth , who became his " best friend " , to betray him . He was then rescued by the ninjas . In episode four " Never Trust a Snake " , he chooses to help his uncle Sensei Wu , after being read a book also titled " Never Trust a Snake " . The next day , Sensei Wu puts him up to prank the ninjas for today ' s lesson to show them the destructive power of rumours and that jumping to conclusion can only lead to trouble . Then Wu says that he misplaced his lesson book , but when Kai found the lesson book from Lloyd ' s pocket , he found out that he stole it . Then Lloyd says that it was a perfect plan until the ninjas had to mess him up , after which Cole closes the door in front of Lloyd in his room interrupting him . When Nya calls the ninjas to the HQ lobby , she talks about Pythor trying to get all five tribes united . This makes Lloyd feel guilty and he probably feels sad or worse in episode 5 " Can Of Worms . " At the end he washes Zane ' s suit until it was no longer pink . Lloyd gives Cole a can of nuts to say sorry , but Cole says there is a bunch of toy snakes inside . Then he walks to the fridge and opens the fridge . When opened , a bunch of toy snakes pop out and everyone laughs , even Cole . In Episode 6 : " The Snake King " , he is taken into " babysitting " by Kai . When he drops Lloyd off at an arcade so he can look for Samurai X , he overhears Skales talking about a lost city . Buying a headdress , he follows Skales to the city , where he watches Pythor P . Chumsworth unite the tribes by defeating the leaders of the tribes using Sensei Wu ' s sacred flute . When he sees Pythor win , he drops his maracas ( which were making the snake sound that made the other serpentine believe he was one of them ) and is taken captive by the Serpentine . When Samurai X came to free Lloyd , she was not able to escape , she was taken captive by the Serpentine , and forced to fight the ninjas which the Serpentine were sure would come to save Lloyd . Samurai X pretends to fight the ninjas in a plan to save Lloyd , but instead she saves the ninjas and gets the golden weapons to give to the ninjas . Lloyd is still held captive in episode 7 " Tick Tock " and Episode 8 " Once Bitten , Twice Shy " . In " The Royal Blacksmiths " the Serpentine use him to get past some traps in a temple so he can be freed , but because the fang blade was gone he was still imprisoned . In the episode " All of Nothing " , Lloyd is forced to try to save the ninja after they were captured getting the Fangblades . During this , he trips on the Green Ninja Suit , rolling right into the Serpentine . Before he can be captured however , Lord Garmadon shows up with the Skulkin Army . In " Rise of the Great Devourer " , he pilots the Bounty after Pythor tries to take the Fangblades . This meant Lloyd was tied to the training equipment and his mouth taped shut by Pythor .

However , he is eventually captured by the Overlord and nearly killed from being drained of his power before escaping , due to the Ninja successfully rebooting the system . Deciding that his gold powers were too dangerous for him alone to wield , he divides it for the Ninja in the Temple of Light , giving their elemental powers similar qualities to his own . Yet , they discover the Overlord not only survived but is also going after the Golden Weapons , which will complete his transition as the Golden Master . Lloyd leads the mission to stop the Nindroids from space and back , fending off both them and metal - eating alien bugs , but they fail to prevent the weapons from being melted down as the Overlord ' s armor .

While upon the island , Lloyd learns that Chen used to be Garmadon ' s sensei for a time , and that Chen has actually summoned other elemental masters to a fighting tournament . But this turns out to be a front for Chen to steal their powers for his own uses , which prompts Lloyd to rally the other masters into forming an alliance to stop him . This does not last , as Chen uses a search for Nya ( who snuck onto the island ) to eliminate the other masters , leaving Lloyd as the remaining competitor . Thus , he finds himself against the might of all the other elemental powers upon fighting the cultist leader , and is defeated after a time . The scheme is busted when Kai and new ally Skylor , another fellow master whom she and Kai have developed feelings for each other , defeat Chen and destroy his staff holding the stolen powers .

Day of the Departed / Pythor ' s Revenge . After racing with his teammates to the Ninjago City Museum of History to obtain lanterns for the Day of the Departed celebration , Lloyd went with his mother to the monument of his father to commemorate Garmadon ' s loss . They were then attacked by Pythor , who was looking to settle their score once and for all using a weapon empowered with the magic of Sensei Yang . Lloyd was hard - pressed to defend both Misako and himself , but was eventually able to draw strength from the memory of his father to fight back . Pythor was forced to retreat , but Misako warned her son that he would undoubtedly return . Misako was proven right , as Pythor shortly thereafter returned and sought vengeance on the Ninja by stealing a piece of technology entrusted to them by Cyrus Borg . Hands of Time . In The Hands of Time Lloyd and his teammates are helping Dr . Saunders clean up the Ninjago City Museum , with Lloyd feeling that the Ninja are partly to blame due to their conflict with the museum mannequins brought to life by Sensei Yang . During the effort , the ninja come across a massive painting depicting a battle - fictional according to Saunders - between the Elemental Masters and the villainous Hands of Time , which depicts Lloyd ' s father and Wu leading the charge against the enemy . Finished for the day , the group make their way to the Destiny ' s Bounty only to find themselves suddenly aboard , time having skipped forward a full minute . Analyzing the disturbance , Zane pinpoints the source as Sensei Wu ' s ruined monastery , which Lloyd recalls Wu had said he was going to in order to settle an old battle . The six ninja then travel to the monastery and are confronted by Acronix , one of the supposedly mythical Hands of Time , and engage in a battle that seemingly ends in his demise . The Hatching finds the Ninja questioning a weary Wu about his attacker , and he shares with them that the Hands of Time were Elemental Masters who betrayed their comrades after the Serpentine Wars , forcing Wu and Garmadon to drain their powers using the Time Blades . The Hands of Time and the blades were then thought lost to time , though Wu saw a vision that indicated when Acronix would return . Thinking the matter settled with Acronix ' s apparent destruction and that of the Fast Forward Time Blade , the ninja turn their attention to unpacking their supplies into their new home , only to receive an alert of trouble at the launch of Cyrus Borg ' s latest product . The ninja soon find themselves locked in battle with the evil Vermillion warriors , whom they are only able to defeat after Nya and Jay combine their powers to drive them away . However , their victory is fruitless , as they find Zane knocked offline and Cyrus Borg missing after the Nindroid attempted to get the inventor to safety . In A Time of Traitors Lloyd returns to the Temple of Airjitzu to watch over Wu , whose health appears to be declining ; in Scavengers he overhears Wu lamenting over not having " you " with him when he faced Acronix . Believing this to be directed at him solely , he becomes guilt - ridden and decides to step up as the interim leader of the Ninja . Sadly , his efforts to organize his fellows meet with failure as they refuse to heed his counsel , but after speaking with Wu he learns that his master ' s regret was that he had not brought along the entire team . Relieved of this burden and recognizing his inexperience , Lloyd links up with his teammates to battle the Vermillion at a power station . Prior to this reunion , the other Ninja learned that not only had Acronix and the Fast Forward Blade survived their lost encounter , but that Dr . Saunders was in fact Krux , Acronix ' s twin brother . A Line in the Sand finds the Ninja - minus Jay - facing the Vermillion at Mega Monster Amusement Park , only for the battle to be broken off when another Time Blade returns to Ninjago . The Ninja and snakes race to retrieve the weapon , and it eventually ends up in the possession of the Ninja , who make their escape . The Attack finds the Ninja overconfident due to their success , and even Lloyd falls into the trap , flying his Elemental Dragon into battle despite his awareness that fear could cause it to vanish . It does , but he is saved by the new Samurai X , and then joins his teammates in battling the Time Twins , through which they obtain the Fast Forward Blade as well . Unfortunately , General Machia then captures both blades , and she and the Time Twins then depart with a helpless Wu in tow . Determined to make up for their failure , Lloyd and the other Ninja set out in Secrets Discovered , with Lloyd and Zane boarding Lloyd ' s new " Destiny ' s Shadow " vehicle after learning that Wu is rapidly aging due to his battle with Acronix . Accompanied by Jay and Cole on other vehicles , they make their way to the museum and discover a secret lab of Krux ' s with an entrance leading out into the city sewer system . Making their way through , they run into a group of Serpentine led by Skales and Skales Jr . , who inform them that the Vermillion are the offspring of The Great Devourer and then pointing them in the direction of the swamp where the creatures are incubated . Reunited briefly with Kai and Nya in Pause and Effect , the team separates again for various missions , with Lloyd going after the captured Wu . Despite his best efforts , he is unable to retrieve him from the care of Commander Blunck and Commander Raggmunk . In Out of the Fire and Into the Boiling Sea , Lloyd links up with the others - minus Kai and Nya - and rescues various citizens of Ninjago captured for slave labor by the Vermillion , and then head back into the swamp to rescue Cyrus Borg . Then then learn that the Time Twins have created the Iron Doom , a monstrous vehicle designed by Kai ' s father Ray , equipped with a time travel mechanism created by Borg under duress , and which requires the power of all four Time Blades to travel through time . Together with the new Samurai X , the four Ninja attempt to hold of the Vermillion and give Borg and Zane the chance to activate a self - destruct feature he built into his device , but fail to stop the Time Twins . The actions of the villains briefly cause Ninjago ' s history to be altered , but Kai , Nya , and a restored Wu ' s actions in the past restore the timeline . Kai and Nya are then returned to the present with the Reversal Time Blade while Wu is lost in time with his foes , prompting the Ninja to recognize Lloyd as their new leader and set their sights on finding Wu .
