== Designer's notes ==
My last Ninjago set for now :) the fighter assembly press is very fun to play with. the set initially contained blue/gold modules for the fighter to give a variation in color too, but that had to be cut. I hope everyone out there will be inspired to build their own fighter segments to connect with the press!https://brickset.com/sets/designer-Adrian-Florea/page-2
==Trivia==
*Pythor's translucent Anacondrai Staff is exclusive to this set. This is the first set to include a Serpentine staff in four years.
*This is the only Day of the Departed set that does not include any vehicles or structures for the villains.
*Despite being released in the Day of the Departed wave, the Samurai X Cave does not actually appear in the special. The only elements of it that do appear are the minifigures.
*The main villains in this set—Pythor, Cryptor, and Kozu—are also the main villains of a wave that allied with the Overlord at some point. The weapons wielded by them pay homage to the Techno Blades, Serpentine Staffs, and Elemental Blades.
*This set has the most Departed Blades included in it.
*This set has exactly as many pieces as another large Ninjago set, 70738 Final Flight of Destiny's Bounty, with 1253 pieces.
*Pythor's minifigure in this set resembles his appearance at the end of "The Curse of the Golden Master" when he takes his hood off and reveals himself to Lloyd. His torso and tailpieces have new printing to complete his new appearance.
**In "Day of the Departed," both Pythor and his statue have purple hands with no white gloves. The minifigure in this set has white gloves. Similarly, Chen had gloves in 70595 Ultra Stealth Raider despite not having them in the episode.
*One of the screens in the cave depicts Seliel, alias the Phantom Ninja, from the Who is the Phantom Ninja? graphic novel. Tommy Andreasen has stated that the novel can be considered canon to the show.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/766956485406494720
*Neither the jet nor the samurai x bike appear in the show.
**In the episode, "The Art of the Silent Fist" when Lloyd and Garmadon enter the cave a vehicle can be seen in the background that resembles the samurai x bike.
*All of the minifgures in this set have Day of the Departed inspired outfits that differ from their original appearance;
**General Kozu's minifigure has several differences from his original minifigure in The Final Battle.
***His original minifigure had a red samurai helmet, while his new one has a black helmet.
***The mouthpiece originally had black markings, but in this set, it is completely red.
***The original minifigure had red arms and black hands, while the new one has black arms and red hands.
***The lower torso and legs are the same as the torso and legs for the new Stone Swordsman (one of which is also included).
***The lower torso and legs are mostly black, while in Kozu's original minifigure they were mostly red.
***The upper torso and head are similar to the originals but have slightly different printing.
**General Cryptor's minifigure has several differences from his original minifigure in Rebooted.
***Originally, his right arm was silver, but with this set his left arm is silver.
***He had purple and silver leg printing, but in this set, his legs are entirely black.
***In this set, Cryptor's head and torso prints are also different from his original minifigure.
**Jay, Nya, and Lloyd's outfits pay homage to the first Ninja suits, while Wu's outfit pays homage to the suit he wore throughout the series up until "Winds of Change." Lloyd's outfit is exclusive to this set.
***Oddly, Jay has a half-mask and his hairpiece, while Lloyd and Nya have their full masks.
***While Nya's Honor suit isn’t exclusive to this set, this is the only way you can get it with the armor and full hood piece.
*This is the first set where Pythor appears on a ninja computer screen as a wanted person. The second is 71741 Ninjago City Gardens.
