When the Ninja visit the Ninjago Museum of History , the workers inform them that the Great Devourer ' s venom had worked its way through the sewer system of Ninjago City and ended up seeping through into the Museum , resulting in the venom infecting the Museum ' s merchandise of the Stone Warriors and bringing them to life . While the Ninja are fighting off the toy Stone Warriors , one slips out of the room and down the hallway , and as Sensei Wu follows it he runs into Misako . Lloyd then walks out from the merchandise room to see his mother , and as Misako tries to explain to him that she had her reasons for being away , he refuses to listen to her . Lloyd heads to another room to be alone , but Misako follows , informing him that she left to do research for the Green Ninja prophecy in hopes of preventing it . The other Ninja arrive , and she begins telling a story of the First Spinjitzu Master that involves the Island of Darkness and the Stone Warriors . However , in another part of the Museum , the Great Devourer ' s venom drips from the ceiling onto a Giant Stone Warrior statue , bringing it to life . While Misako is telling them that there is hope to prevent Lord Garmadon and Lloyd ' s fight , the Stone Warrior rampages through the building and confronts the Ninja . They attempt to fight it off to no avail , to which they flee and run through the Museum as they try to figure out how to defeat it . They stop inside a large room and close the doors , and while the Stone Warrior breaks it down Lloyd comes up with a plan and tells the Ninja to distract it . Lloyd leaves the room and the Stone Warrior breaks in , Misako deciding to assist Lloyd by leading the Stone Warrior to Lloyd ' s location . She meets up with him , and Lloyd tricks the Stone Warrior into stepping over the fabricated flooring to reveal the giant sinkhole where it was unearthed . After the warrior falls , Misako tells Lloyd that she is proud of him , and Sensei Wu comes in to ask her to stay with them , to which she accepts . While Sensei Wu is thoughtfully gazing at a picture of Lord Garmadon , Misako , and himself before Lord Garmadon ' s banishment , Misako walks in the room commenting on how Lord Garmadon looked before . She hands Sensei Wu a scroll containing her research , and as he looks over it she says that she should have chosen him instead . When he says that is in the past , she replies that there is still the future while holding his hand . However , their moment is interrupted by an earthquake . At Ninjago City , after the Ninja save a woman from the crumbling earth , Misako realizes that the earthquakes are a sign of the Stone Warrior Army ' s return . As the citizens of Ninjago rush into a building to get to the roof in order to escape on the Destiny ' s Bounty , Dareth bumps into Misako in the rush , making her drop her research scrolls . When they arrive on the roof , Misako attempts to hold Sensei Wu ' s hand again , only to be separated by the enormous crowd heading toward the Bounty . Right as the " Destiny ' s Bounty " is leaving , Misako remembers her scrolls , saying that they would be too important to lose and heading back down . She spots the scrolls tangled among the wires of the long ceiling lights , though she is met by Stone Warriors and carefully climbs down the wires . Upon obtaining the scrolls she slips while jumping to the railing , and before she falls Sensei Wu grabs her and helps her up . The two run into a room where they are cornered , trying their best to fight off the warriors by using Spinjitzu . Seeing that their efforts were pointless , they decide to escape through the window , only to be caught by Nya on the Destiny ' s Bounty . Sensei Wu loses the photo in the wind , Misako assuring him that the past is the past . The ninja prepare the Destiny ' s Bounty to sail to the Dark Island and find out if Garmadon is there . Misako joins them . On the way , they are attacked by Star Teeth and find Dr . Julien . The Bounty is destroyed , but the doctor repairs it and turns it into a half blimp , half boat . They proceed to the Dark Island . Once there , Misako says that finding the Temple of Light will give the ninja pure elemental powers to defeat the Stone Army . The ninja find the temple , and charge themselves up for the final battle . Misako watches from afar , and says that good may win after all . Soon after , Misako realizes that returning the Helmet of Shadows to its pedestal in the celestial clock might stop the countdown to the final battle , meaning that Lloyd would not have to fight Garmadon . She then formulates a plan with the four ninja where she would attempt to steal the helmet from Garmadon and return it to the clock . She feigns capture at the hands of the four ninja , who are disguised as Stone Warriors , and is brought before Garmadon . Misako at first tries to convince Garmadon that he can be good and prevent fighting with his son , but Garmadon insists that the final battle is their destiny . He then sets his helmet aside and turns his back towards Misako , talking about how he still loves her and inviting her to join his side , but while he is doing this , Misako silently steals the helmet . She then escapes with the ninja and Nya , who comes to rescue them , in the Power Drill . However , the stone army and Garmadon , who pilots a giant four - armed robot , give pursuit , and Garmadon ends up catching them , but Lloyd destroys his robot before he can do any harm . They are about to face off , and Lloyd has the upper hand , but Lloyd cannot bring himself to harm his father , and the group continues with their journey to the clock . At the clock , Misako tells the group that they need to find the helmet ' s pedestal among the clock ' s complex moving mechanisms , but the clock ' s complexity coupled with the interference of the stone army delay their attempts . Misako finally is able to find the pedestal and place the helmet on it , and the clock stops . At first , the group believes that they accomplished their mission , but the clock starts again and it is revealed that they were moments too late ; the clock ' s hands point at the symbol representing the final battle , indicating it has started , and the mechanisms line up to reflect a beam of light somewhere across the island . The cliff collapses , separating Nya from the rest of the group and sending the others into the ocean below , though they survive . After exiting the ocean , Jay and Kai want to rescue Nya from the Stone Army , but Misako and Wu tell them that , although that time will come , they must divert all their efforts to preparing Lloyd for the final battle , which could begin at any time . Misako continued to aid the ninja during their subsequent engagements with the Stone Army and Garmadon , who was eventually possessed by the Overlord . With the " Bounty " once again downed , the group were forced to utilize the Ultra Dragon to make their way back to Ninjago while Lloyd piloted the Golden Mech of The First Spinjitzu Master . During the ensuing battle for Ninjago , Misako noted that the Helmet of Shadows could be used to control the Stone Army , and was proven right when it fell into the hands of Dareth . Lloyd ' s defeat of the Overlord not only freed Ninjago but also purified Garmadon of all evil , and Misako was reunited with her husband at long last . The Tournament of Elements . In Spellbound it ' s revealed that Chen had Garmadon put his name a love letter to her sent from Wu . That letter was the reason she fell in love with Garmadon . She realizes the truth in The Corridor of Elders when Chen reveals it and later on she forgave Garmadon for what he did . " The LEGO Ninjago Movie " . Misako appears in the film as a younger , red - haired woman who is a former warrior and went by the name " Lady Iron Dragon " before separating from Garmadon .
