Hall of Villainy

The Hall of Villainy is an exhibit in the Ninjago Museum of History. The exhibit houses life-sized statues of the major villains fought by the ninja over the years. Some of the villains include infamous adversaries such as Samukai, Pythor, Kozu, Cryptor, Chen, and Morro. The exhibit also features objects associated with the villains, such as the Yin Blade.
Each villain holds a customized weapon with a black hilt and a translucent green crystal at the bottom—a Departed Blade. Samukai holds a Double-Bladed Bone Axe replica, Pythor holds an Anacondrai Staff replica, Kozu holds a replica of Kai's Elemental Blade, Cryptor holds a replica of Cole's Techno Blade, Chen holds a Jadeblade replica, and Morro holds a replica of the Sword of Sanctuary. Each weapon is associated with the villain in some way—for instance, the ninja wielded Elemental Blades while fighting Kozu and the Stone Army.
==History==
===Day of the Departed===
Dr. Saunders oversaw the creation of the Hall of Villainy. On the Day of the Departed, the ninja stopped by the museum and were introduced to the exhibit by Dr. Saunders. The ninja, namely Kai and Jay, were made very uneasy by the exhibit and the statues inside. As Cole wandered further into the exhibit, he found a painting of Yang and an artifact called the Yin Blade, which could cut open the fabric of reality. Saunders mentioned that there are more statues to be added to the exhibit, including ones of the Overlord and the Golden Master. As Cole received a message from Yang, the ninja, Wu, and Misako left the museum, setting off to commemorate their ancestors. Cole then realized he was fading away and went to the Temple of Airjitzu to settle his debt.
At the temple, Yang tricked Cole into opening the Departed Realm, allowing the spirits of the ninja's old enemies to escape into Ninjago. The spirits traveled through the city, heading into the museum and possessing the statues in the Hall of Villainy. Samukai, Kozu, Cryptor, Chen, and Morro were resurrected, after which they confronted one another. The five villains went to the painting of Yang, which he used to send them a message, explaining that though he brought them to life they can only remain in Ninjago for the duration of the lunar eclipse unless they kill the person that killed them. While Yang was explaining this, Pythor arrived in the museum and stole the fake Anacondrai Staff his statue was holding.
Pythor joined the other villains as they were speaking with Yang, who told them to choose an adversary to go after. Chen said he would go after Kai and Nya, Pythor says he would go after Lloyd, Cryptor says he would go after Zane, Morro says he would go after Wu, Kozu says he would go after Dareth, and Samukai was left with going after Jay. After making their decisions, the villains go to the Hall of Sidekicks, where they gathered reinforcements for their upcoming missions.
The villains set off to defeat their respective adversaries. Samukai, Kozu, Cryptor, and Chen were all defeated a second time, with their spirits being sent back to the Departed Realm while their statues were destroyed. Morro, on the other hand, warned Wu of the coming attacks, which allowed him to reunite with the ninja and head to Yang's temple. Morro returned to the museum, placing the statue in the position it was originally in before peacefully returning to the Departed Realm.
===The Hands of Time===
The ninja were shown rebuilding the Hall of Villainy after the Day of the Departed.

==Trivia==
*According to Tommy Andreasen, the statues were meant to be made out of thick plastic or ceramic.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/782532032559742976
*According to Dr. Saunders, two statues of the Overlord, one of which was him as the Golden Master, would also go on display at some point, as they were yet to be unpacked and were still in the storage room.
**Ultimately, Krux, who went under the alias of Dr. Saunders, was lost to time alongside his twin brother before the statues could be displayed. It can be presumed that the Hall of Villainy was eventually disassembled and that The Overlord's statues were never used.
