==Sets==
Lloyd was the mascot ninja and the Golden Weapons are the collectible items of the season. The set background was based on Ninjago City. Unlike previous seasons, this is the first season where every set has at least one or more unique minifigure. Thus buyers can not skip a set if they want to collect every minifigure.
*71768 Jay's Golden Dragon Motorbike
*71769 Cole's Dragon Cruiser
*71770 Zane's Golden Dragon Jet
*71771 The Crystal King Temple
*71772 The Crystal King
*71773 Kai's Golden Dragon Raider
*71774 Lloyd's Golden Ultra Dragon
*71775 Nya's Samurai X MECH
==Songs==
*The Crystalized Whip
*Ninjago Victory (Korean version)
==Trivia==
*According to Tommy Andreasen, this season can be referred to as the Golden Power Chapter as the season focuses on Lloyd’s elemental powers respectively.https://www.youtube.com/live/uwvezZyxItw?feature=share&t=453
**However, Lloyd has lost the ability to use Golden Power as of "Codename: Arcturus" in Rebooted, and only had Energy and Destruction, although he rode on the Golden Ultra Dragon and used it against the Overlord.
*This is the second season to have 30 episodes in total, making it the longest season of Ninjago, in terms of episodes and runtime, tied with Season 11: Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu. 
**However, Season 11 was split into two chapters, the Fire Chapter and the Ice Chapter, each being 15 episodes, making Crystalized the only season to not be split into two chapters to be 30 episodes long.
**In the entire franchise, this season and Season 11 are the second longest seasons, as the first two seasons of Dragons Rising are longer, with twenty 22 minute episodes. 
*This is the only Ninjago installment to not introduce a new major villain.
**Krux was introduced in "Day of the Departed" but wasn't a villain until Season 7.
**This is also the only season in the series where a main antagonist who debuted in a WiLFilm season returns as the main antagonist in a WildBrain season.
*According to a WildBrain animator on Reddit (u/NEKOSEI), LEGO wanted the animators to "get same sex couples into the background anytime [they] could."https://www.reddit.com/r/Ninjago/comments/uev7wg/time_for_the_next_wave_of_ninjago_community/i6smtzm/
*According to set designer Niek van Slagmaat, the cockpit part introduced in 71736 Boulder Blaster will be used "in a very cool way in the future."https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-ninjago-designer-teases-future-set/ This is seen on the knee armour of 71775 Nya's Samurai X MECH.
*Like Sons of Garmadon and Hunted, Tommy Andreasen posted a status on Twitter on April Fools Day with three events from Season 15, two of which are real and one of which is fake.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1509866469982572547
**The three events stated that:
***"The lyrics to the 'Weekend Whip' will become an important plot point. Not only are the words catchy, but they also contain a secret which has remained unfolded since the song premiered in 2011."
***"A insignificant potted plant will prove to be one of the main reasons our heroes stand a chance against the overwhelming forces of evil."
***"Toy-designers and writers have collaborated to avoid spoilers by including characters and objects in the toys, which will not feature in the season's storyline." 
****The third statement is the lie, as all characters/objects in the sets were seen in the show.
*Tommy Andreasen published a poster for the season on April 20, 2022 with the description "We hope you like the new Ninjago teaser poster. This is what the brief looked like ... short and sweet! @WildBrainStudio concept artist Daniel Wang totally aced it imo. The idea to add the Ninja eyes only came after the first lay-out rough. The composition just called for it."https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1516816760455979027
**He also published a description of the poster: "The four weapons of creation (encased in the purple crystal). The entire poster is probably purple with the crystal covering everything like the weapons are stuck in one big crystal. In the crystal we should see refractions/ reflections of the five 'generals'. Not too clearly and maybe just silhouettes which can be theorized upon. NINJAGO logo at the bottom golden embers coming off it."https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1516816760455979027/photo/2
*Dareth's lawyer card and poster is a reference to "Better Call Saul" from Breaking Bad.
*Amount of times a different character reads a title card: 
**Lloyd: 6
**Garmadon: 5
**Harumi: 3
**Wu: 3
**Jay: 2
**Dareth: 2
**Zane: 2
**Nyad: 1
**Ulysses Trustable: 1
**Hounddog McBrag: 1
**Antonia: 1
**Skylor: 1
**P.I.X.A.L.: 1
**Cole: 1
***This makes Lloyd announcing the most title cards, while multiple characters are tied for the least.
***Kai and Nya are the only ninja to not announce a title card.
*This season marks the Overlord's first physical appearance in the main series since Rebooted and overall since Ninjago: Decoded, Pythor's first physical appearance in the series since "Day of the Departed" and overall since Pythor's Revenge, Harumi's first physical appearance since Hunted, Garmadon's first present day appearance since March of the Oni and overall since Garmadon Issue 4, Aspheera since Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu, and the Mechanic since Prime Empire. It is also Skylor's first speaking appearance since Hunted, and the first appearance of the Golden Weapons and Zane’s human cloak since March of the Oni. 
**This is also Pythor, Harumi, Garmadon and the Golden Weapons' first appearance in the WildBrain seasons.
**This is also the first appearance of Mister F.
*This season marks the second time that Lloyd has been arrested, and the third time that Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane were arrested.
**Unlike the previous instances, they are arrested for something they willingly committed, as opposed to being framed for crimes they didn't commit.
*Though Skylor has made many appearances all throughout the series, this is the third season after Tournament of Elements and Hunted in which she's a major character throughout a whole season. 
*This is the second installment where a group of villains band together, the first being "Day of the Departed."
**Pythor is the only villain to be part of both groups.
*In keeping with Tommy Andreasen's comparison of this season and Avengers: Endgame, the season's second official poster resembles the latter's, particularly in terms of its color scheme and character placement.
** The Overlord is located on the place of Thanos and thus represents the position of the main antagonist.
**Wu is located on the place of Iron Man.
**Cole is located on the place of Ant-Man.
**Zane is located on the place of War Machine, with his Elemental Power of Ice on his hand in the same way as the red light on the War Machine's hand.
**Kai is located on the place of Hulk, but has the katana added to his hands.
**Jay is located on the place of Thor, both of which have Lightning as their primary abilities.
**P.I.X.A.L. is located on the place of Black Widow, but her pose is a little different.
**Skylor is located on the place of Captain Marvel.
**Samurai X (Nya) is located on the place of Okoye.
**Lloyd is located on the place of Captain America.
**Antonia is located on the place of Nebula.
**Fugi-Dove is located on the place of Hawkeye.
**The crystalized chicken is located on the place of Rocket Raccoon.
**Nelson and Ronin are not located on anyone's place and are on the poster in addition.
*This is also the first season where Lloyd uses Destruction.
*When the first twelve episodes aired on May 20, 2022, Tommy Andreasen didn't know the episodes "would be released today and in this way." He further stated that he didn't "think this is optimal."https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1527708490290053125
*This season shares many structural similarities with Skybound as a whole, whilst its second half derives elements from the second half of Legacy of the Green Ninja, Hunted and March of the Oni.
**With the second half of Legacy of the Green Ninja;
***Lloyd is the focus and mascot character. His relationship with his father, and his final battle with the Overlord are key elements within both seasons.
***A prophecy foretells the events of the final battle (in Legacy of the Green Ninja, the Final Battle was yet to be decided, in Crystalized, Quanish the Elder prophesied how darkness would consume Ninjago, but also prophesied that four heroes could commit a selfless act to save it).
***The Overlord, as the main antagonist, uses a substance to corrupt the citizens of Ninjago (Dark Matter in Legacy of the Green Ninja, and infectious crystals in Crystalized). His Crystal Warriors are also similar to the Stone Army he commanded.
***The final battles ("Rise of the Spinjitzu Master" and "Roots") are even similar to each other, in which Lloyd files on a powerful golden dragon (the Golden Dragon and the Golden Ultra Dragon), against the Overlord with a form giving him the ability to fly (Dragon form and Centaur form), and with the battle itself taking place on a location at Ninjago's sky (the Dark Fortress and the Crystal Island). Finally, the Overlord is defeated by being engulfed in some form of light (Lloyd defeats him from the inside of his mouth with Golden Power, and the Golden Ultra Dragon shoots blasts of Fire, Lightning, Ice and Earth combined to create Golden Power and immobilize him, and his form was shattered by the tail of the Golden Ultra Dragon).
****Also in these final episodes, the ninja and some of their allies group together and meet up with Lloyd and his respective dragons after the defeat of the Overlord.
**With similarities from Skybound;
***The ninja become fugitives and are sent to Kryptarium Prison, but eventually break out and jump back into action upon learning that their enemies (Nadakhan and Harumi) are gathering the villainous factions (the Sky Pirates and the Council of the Crystal King respectively) to attack Ninjago City.
***During the climaxes of the season ("On a Wish and a Prayer" and "The Council of the Crystal King") the focus ninja (Jay and Lloyd) end up separated from the ninja and in the clutches of the villainous factions. They are consistently tempted by their personal enemies (Nadakhan convincing Jay to make his final wish and Harumi convincing Lloyd to turn to the dark side) within the following episodes. Both ninja are able consistently resist and are able to escape and reunite with the ninja.
***The main antagonist of the season (Nadakhan and the Overlord) are brought back into Ninjago with the help of a previous enemy of the ninja (Clouse and Harumi), although Clouse summoned and was trapped by Nadakhan at the beginning of the season, while Harumi was resurrected by the Overlord in return for her gratitude towards him and she summons him back within the middle of the season.
***Nadakhan and the Overlord's motives are even identical, as both want to exploit the ninja for their powers in order to complete their goals (with Nadakhan needing their powers specifically via his Djinn Blade to build a reconstruction of Djinjago, whilst the Overlord desired to corrupt their elemental powers to destroy the Balance).
***In order to prepare for the final conflict against the main antagonist and the villainous faction, a team is formed of the ninja's past/recent allies and enemies (the Ninja Replacements and the Resistance).
***In the final episode ("The Way Back" and "Dragon Form"/"Roots"), the main antagonist manages to grow in power (Nadakhan gains unlimited wishes and the Overlord transforms into a powerful centaur creature). However, his right-handed minions turn to the side of good and help the heroes fight him (Flintlocke and Dogshank against Nadakhan, and Harumi against the Overlord). Eventually, all the other ninja except for the focus ninja end up temporarily frozen by the main antagonist (the ninja being turned into golden statues and petrified crystal zombies respectively), leaving the focus ninja to defeat him with some help left (Jay being assisted by Flintlocke and Dogshank to shoot the Tiger Widow venom at Nadakhan, and Lloyd using the Golden Ultra Dragon to defeat the Overlord).
****The final battle also takes place on the main antagonist's home turf (the reconstructed Djinjago and the Crystal Island respectively) which hovers over Ninjago City, and eventually become destroyed upon his defeat.
**With similarities to Hunted; 
***The main antagonist attempts to accumulate a certain task to conquer Ninjago, but with constrating effects (Garmadon wanted to preserve the realm of Ninjago from the Oni, whilst the Overlord wished to destroy the Balance).
***A Resistance is also formed to fight against the villainous faction (the Resistance in Hunted is composed of most of the Elemental Masters, while the Resistance in Crystalized is composed of many of the ninja's friends, families, allies and past, redeemed villainous factions such as the Hypnobrai, Unagami's army, the Keepers and the Maaray Guards).
***Dragons serve as a core focus in both seasons. Hunted expands upon the lore of the dragons, and the dragons found in the Realm of Oni and Dragons play a crucial role throughout the season as they help bring the stranded Ninja back home and save Ninjago from Garmadon. In Crystalized, the ninja must achieve Dragon Forms as prophesied by Quanish the Elder and they summon the Golden Ultra Dragon which help defeat the Overlord.
**With similarities from March of the Oni;
***The Overlord has similar motives to the main antagonist (the Omega, as he wishes to blanket the Sixteen Realms in darkness).
***The citizens of Ninjago are negatively affected or influenced by the powers of the villainous factions (the crystal army turning them into crystal zombies, while the Oni turns everyone into petrified statues with black clouds of darkness.
***In the episode before two episodes remaining in the season ("An Issue of Trust" and "Into the Breach"), Lloyd and Garmadon are teamed up to stand against the main antagonists (the Overlord and the Omega). 
***The abilities of the Oni, as well as the Oni Form is showcased here, specifically through Lloyd and Garmadon, which are used against the villainous factions and the main antagonist.
***The villains are only defeated by an ability with the use of an elemental essence originating from the power of the dragons (The Golden Ultra Dragon is created from the Golden Weapons and bestows Golden Power; while the ninja, with the addition of the Sons of the First Spinjitzu Master create the Tornado of Creation, which bestows the power of Creation, and both methods also bestow the four elements of Creation) and the world of Ninjago and its people are free from the villains and their influencing powers.
***The final scenes from the final episodes ("Roots" and "Endings") showcase the ninja and their allies at the Monastery of Spinjitzu after defeating the main antagonists and the villainous factions.
*Despite the fact that Skales has a minimal role in this season, his character arc that began in "The Curse of the Golden Master," where he refused to fight the Overlord and preferred to stay with the other Serpentine in their village, is finally completed here, as he decided to go to the surface in "Dragon Form" and to fight the army of the very enemy he had previously feared so much.
*Crystalized holds the record for the most cast members in a season, beating Hunted which previously had the longest cast list of a season by that point.
*This is the only season in the original series to feature Andrew Francis as Cole after Kirby Morrow's death.
**This is also the first season to feature Kathleen Barr as Aspheera, replacing Pauline Newstone.
