Ninjago (World)

The world of Ninjago is the setting of the Ninjago theme. Many of the events center around the large island of Ninjago. However, the series also travels to other islands, different dimensions known as realms, and even into virtual realities.
==Background==
===Origins===
Ninjago was originally a world with virtually no landmasses and was plagued by the monstrous serpent Wojira. The First Spinjitzu Master, newly arrived in the realm, recognized that the beast had to be defeated before peace could be found for all, and thus led the Merlopians and numerous islanders into battle against her. For all their brave efforts, it was only the sacrifice of Nyad, first Master of Water, that enabled the allies to triumph. Wojira was rendered unconscious and sealed in an underwater temple, while the amulets that gave her power over Storm and Wave were turned over to the groups that had fought alongside the First Spinjitzu Master. The First Spinjitzu Master then raised a great landmass from the depths.
The First Spinjitzu Master created the Four Golden Weapons to aid him in shaping the land he had created, but was forced to contend with threats to its peace. At one point, a group of Oni pursued the First Spinjitzu Master to his new home from the First Realm, though one of them betrayed her comrades to aid him. On another occasion, the evil Overlord appeared as a counterbalance to the power of the First Spinjitzu Master, and the two engaged in a series of battles. After they proved to be evenly matched, the Overlord created the Stone Army from an indestructible substance only found on the western half of the island. Unable to overcome this threat, the First Spinjitzu Master split the island into two fragments, with the western half becoming the Dark Island and eventually sinking beneath the waves.
===The Merge===
==Descripton==
Besides the planet itself, Ninjago had 16 parallel realms, including the Cursed Realm, Underworld, Cloud Kingdom, Dark Continent, Djinjago, the Land of the Oni and the Dragon, and the Land of Chima; each accessed by various portals (although all of them can be accessed at any time with the Realm Crystal). In "Curseworld Part II", the Cursed Realm was destroyed, eventually leading to the destruction of Djinjago in "Enkrypted". This leaves Ninjago with only 14 realms. In its present era, Ninjago was portrayed as a liberal monarchy, although the death of the Royal Family brings the current political system of Ninjago into question. Both Ninjago and the Island of Darkness are arranged in a yin-yang position and resemble dragons.
Ninjago and the Dark Island are the only large land masses in the world, which from the space view in "Return of the Overlord", makes the planet look enormous. The "Endless Ocean" almost explains that the two islands are the only land masses on the planet. In The Void, Ninjago could be seen multiple times, but the land of Ninjago appeared differently, not to mention being obscured by clouds. In the episode, when Zane slipped off of Arcturus and began spinning back to Ninjago, multiple small islands could be seen, but barely.
In The Titanium Ninja's opening scene when the nindroids re-entered Earth's atmosphere, the land appeared to be much larger and wider, and shaped differently than in Season Two. If examined closely, when the Ninja re-entered following the Golden Master's debut into Ninjago City, the shape of the land is actually a satellite image of our world flipped upside down. In the top-left of the scene just moments before the ninja used their elemental shields, one can make out Newfoundland, which in real life sits to the east of Nova Scotia. In the show, it lies on the western coast, north of Ninjago City. With further examination, it shows that Newfoundland was in fact added in, but with additional land to the 'north' instead of open ocean and somewhat proves that the scene isn't rendered with the earth's image turned upside down. Although, Newfoundland was added in.
==Politics==
Ninjago City seems to be the world's capital city, which appears to have well over ten million people with its size. It is so far the only confirmed metropolitan area in Ninjago. The city was in many episodes starting in season 1. The city also appears to take a normal city look in the first-second season and a futuristic city look in the third season. However, it turned back to its normal look in the fourth season. The city is located on the northwestern coastline of Ninjago, and is bordered to the east by the Sea of Sand, and mountains to the north and south.
The island of Ninjago is originally depicted as monarchy in Season Eight. Throughout he series, the capital city of Ninjago holds classical liberal values including a free market economy and right to assembly. A free market economy is portrayed as the roots of Ninjago City's innovation, notably present in season 2, when the Ninja worked in respective companies in order to make money for rent, and season 3, where the industrial breakthroughs of Borg Industries revolutionize the entire city. The citizens of Ninjago City have also been shown to have democratic liberties, including right to assembly in the episode "Day of the Great Devourer", when they protest the cities "snake problems". Although Ninjago City appears to run on a democratic free market, the rural areas appear to be fundamentally feudalist. The most notable example is the beginning of "Sons of Garmadon", where a samurai is portrayed owning peasants. In addition, the rural regions of Ninjago appear to be agriculture based and show samurai. Due to this large economic difference, the island's economic system appears to resemble that of neo-liberalism. Ninjago does not appear to have a military, having only the city police and the Ninja as their militia. In Season 8, the police abandon their guns for tazers, suggesting that gun control laws may have been enacted.
Also in Season Four, Karlof mentioned he is from 'Metalonia', which may also imply there is other land outside of Ninjago, although some recent speculation suggests Metalonia is a region or sub-country of Ninjago. In a couple of scenes, you can see few things from other themes, such as LEGO City, as seen at the jail, where you can see the LEGO City Police Badge, with the studs. In Child's Play and The Stone Army, characters were seen wearing orange Space outfits. In The Void, the Ninja were wearing the Spaceman's outfit.
==Locations in Ninjago==

Hono Mizu was an ancient city that was destroyed in the catastrophe that birthed the Boiling Sea, with little but it's ancient library surviving. Ray and Maya later selected the library as a hiding place for one of the Time Blades, believing that no one would ever be able to recover it.

When the Ninja destroyed the power substation, all lights went off; and when Zane found his way into Borg Industries system, the logo turned light blue. Cyrus Borg's office is located on the 100th floor. It is later revealed that the 99th floor is where the factory line is located, as well as a video game room, where the Digiverse was being created. From a certain perspective, the tower appears as some kind of key.
In Season Four, Borg Tower is no longer a part of the Ninjago City skyline. It is possible the tower was demolished after the Golden Master's attack, which may explain the lack of futuristic technology in and around Ninjago. However, it reappears in LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin. The tower also reappears in season eight when the Sons of Garmadon break into it to steal the first of three Oni masks.
===Birchwood Forest===
Birchwood Forest is a snowy region of Ninjago. It is where Zane was built and Dr. Julien once lived. Dr. Julien built a juggernaut that defends the forest from intruders and treehorns. It has big hollow trees, which are found everywhere. It is home to tree horns.

In a flashback in Comet Crisis, it was revealed that the comet used to be a great planet. Many aliens lived there. However, there was one creature who could turn into copies of everyone else. After confusement, the people fought each other, until everyone except for the creature died. 
In Wrong Place, Wrong Time, the Ninja had used to Golden Weapons to destroy the Mega Weapon. The weapons eventually got blasted on the comet.
In Codename: Arcturus and The Void, the Overlord planned on building a rocket named Arcturus to retrieve the Golden Weapons; so he can complete his body as the Golden Master. Using the OverBorg to do this, General Cryptor and the Nindroid army lifted off on Arcturus and went the comet. However, the Ninja came, too. Later on, the Nindroids escaped with the weapons and left the Ninja on the comet. In the two episodes "The Void" and "The Titanium Ninja", it is commonly mistaken as a planet.

After the war, much of the monument was in ruins. However, construction workers where seen after the battle, fixing the place up. A statue of Garmadon was also seen being constructed, due to his sacrifice to save Ninjago.

Cecil's resemblance to that of British explorers during the colonization of the Asia suggest that the "Empire" was a reference to the British Empire which historically colonized large parts of the world throughout late 16th to early 18th century.

====Terra Technica====
===Pyramid===
The Pyramid is located in Ouroborus. It is filled with traps such as stone floors, lowering spiked ceilings, wall-mounted arrow launchers, and collapsing ceilings. It is where the Constrictai Fang Blade was once hidden. However, it was mentioned by Cole that Clutch Powers had found it before the Serpentine did.
===Samurai X Cave===
The Samurai X Cave is Nya's secret base located under a dinosaur skeleton in the Sea of Sand. Inside the skeleton's mouth is a stairway that leads to the cave. The cave has lighting on its sides as well as all the inventions Nya has made. It includes control room, where there are holographic computers. It played a minor role in the third season and played a rather bigger one in the fourth season. In "The Temple on Haunted Hill", it was temporarily under the control of the Ghost warriors.
The Samurai X Cave's name and appearance is a reference to the Batcave. Its role in the fourth season was also a reference to the Justice League TV series, as the Elemental Masters gathered up in the base.

Sensei Wu's Academy is a several-story boarding school the Ninja own and live in. It is located in the mountains of Ninjago. It was originally named Darkly's Boarding School for Bad Boys, but the building soon became Darkly's Boarding School for Great Children. When the Ninja bought it, it became Sensei Wu's Academy. Since then, girls also entered the school. The teachers of the school are Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Nya, Darreth, and Sensei Wu being the headmaster.
===Shintaro===
Shintaro is a beautiful kingdom, also referred to as "the Ivory City", atop a mountain some distance from the Monastery of Spinjitzu. Built and inhabited by the Sky Folk, Shintaro has a near mythical status among the inhabitants of Ninjago Island, due in no small part to its isolation. In addition, the mountains surrounding it are filled with perils, making any approach to it hazardous. However, those who do reach it are greatly impressed with its beauty and the ingenuity of its inhabitants.
====Dungeons of Shintaro====
Inside the mountain beneath Shintaro is a vast network of tunnels and caverns, which are inhabited by the Munce and Geckles as well as numerous creatures, many of whom are dangerous. This subterranean realm was once ruled by the cruel Hazza D'ur, a malevolent sorcerer. King Vangelis used stories of his tyranny as justification to bar his people from entering the depths of the mountain. At one point the dungeons were also terrorized by the dragon Grief-Bringer, but it was defeated by Lilly, then Master of Earth. Lilly was subsequently honored by the Munce and Geckles, with whom she left her Blades of Deliverance before departing the mountain.
The dungeons were later entered by a trio of adventurers at the request of King Vangelis, who claimed to want the Skull of Hazza D'ur found and destroyed. However, once it had been delivered to him, Vangelis revealed his intent to make use of the sorcerous artifact, and consigned the three to the depths of the mountain when they protested. Vangelis then adopted the mantle of the Skull Sorcerer, using Hazza D'Ur's magic and the enmity between the Munce and Geckles to enslave members of both races to mine Vengestone from the depths. This was then sold in order to finance the city of Shintaro, a dark secret of which none of its inhabitants but Vangelis were aware.

It was featured in the set 70734 Master Wu Dragon.
===Stiix===
===Spirit Coves===
The Spirit Coves are where Flame, Whisp, Rocky, and Shard had migrated in order to reach adulthood and morph into the Ultra Dragon. It was apparently the birthplace of the four dragons. In Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu, the Ultra Dragon returns here after a mission with Lloyd, feeling homesick for the First Realm. With Lloyd's blessing, it departed for the First Realm.
===Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master===
The Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master is grave located under the Endless Ocean, where the The First Spinjitzu Master is buried, as well as the location of his golden staff and the Realm Crystal. However, his tomb is guarded by three deadly traps and riddles, which can be passed by intelligence or the Sword of Sanctuary. The first trap is a room with 15 doors, which all lead to all 15 realms of the Ninjago universe. Each door has a character above it, and statue of the First Spinjitzu Master in the middle. The way to choose the correct door is by going in the center of the room and doing Spinjitzu, allowing the statues to move in the symbol. The correct door is then revealed to be the same door that was the entrance to the room. The next room includes the golden staff of the First Spinjitzu Master, surrounded by booby traps. The way to move forward is to simply fall down a trap door, leading to an underground ice land. Looking into the ice will allow one to see a reflection of themselves in the future. Inside the ice land is a maze, as well as ice which can reproduce once broken off. Under the maze is the skeleton of the First Spinjitzu Master, holding the Realm Crystal, which was later taken by the Ninja.
It appears in the set 70736 Attack of the Morro Dragon.
===Tower of Tears===

===Valley of Despair===
The Valley of Despair is a location seen in LEGO Dimensions. It is a valley, where the Caves of Despair are located.
===Valley of the Serpentine===
The Valley of the Serpentine is the former homeland of the Serpentine, during and before the childhoods of Wu and Garmadon. Accodring to an ancient treaty, humans were forbidden to enter it, just as Serpentine were forbidden to enter human territory. Wu and Garmadon broke this rule and were arrested by the soldiers of King Mambo, but set free by Aspheera. Aspheera later took over the valley after being taught Spinjitzu by Wu, but was defeated and imprisoned in the Desert of Doom.
===Venomari Tomb===
The Venomari Tomb is where the Venomari were sealed away. It is a cave located in the Toxic Bogs. Sound often echoes in the cave. It was featured in LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin as the Ninja traveled there to receive a nearly extinct fruit known as the "inky lemonberry".
===Wailing Alps===
The Wailing Alps is the tallest mountain in Ninjago, being ten miles high. The temperature of the alps are very cold, as the Ninja wore eskimo hoods while climbing up there. Due to its unstable and slippery slops, the ghost and Ninja used mechs to climb it up. Above it is the Blind Man's eye, the portal to the Cloud Kingdom. The Wailing Alps might be a Ninjago version of the Swiss Alps, or the Himalayas.
===Wildwood Forest===
Wildwood Forest is a dense forest near the Mountain of Impossible Height. It is where Lloyd commanded the Hypnobrai to built a treehouse. However, the Ninja destroyed it. It appeared in the first few episodes.
==Other Realms==
Ninjago is one of fifteen-originally seventeen, before the destructions of the Preeminent and Djinjago-realms which may be traveled between by various methods. These realms are often wildly different from Ninjago in terms of both appearance, properties, and inhabitants. Fantastic or horrific creatures and plants may be found across the realms, though several are also known to be home to humans or human-like beings.
===Cloud Kingdom===
The Cloud Kingdom is a realm hidden in the skies above Ninjago, which can be only accessed through a portal in the center of Blind Man's Eye, reachable via Airjitzu on top of the Wailing Alps. The architecture of the kingdom is a cross between ancient Japanese and Roman architecture. In the Cloud Kingdom, boats have the ability to fly and hover in midair. On the top of its main building is the home to the Sword of Sanctuary. In the center level of the main building, there are scribes who writes every event and prophecy in Ninjago before they come to pass.
===Cursed Realm===
The Cursed Realm is a realm that is used as the worst punishment for someone. In "Spellbound", it was revealed that the Anacondrai generals had been banished to the Cursed Realm after losing the Serpentine War. In "The Day of the Dragon", Clouse tried banishing Garmadon into the realm, but got himself banished instead. In "The Corridor of Elders", Garmadon banished himself into the Cursed Ream, freeing the ghost of the Anacondrai generals.
===Kingdom of Madness===
The Kingdom of Madness, formerly the Realm of Madness was one of the Sixteen Realms prior to the Merge. It’s inhabitants include Mud Monsters and Craglings.
====The Administration====
====Cragling Village====
=====Sacred Field=====
====Mountain of Madness====
The Mountain of Madness is a place of dark power within the Realm of Madness. It is surrounded by a dark, desolate swamp. It is here that Garmadon, escaping from the Underworld, came and obtained the power to wield all four Golden Weapons, which was embodied by his gaining an extra pair of arms. Wu later followed him there using Traveler’s Tea to enlist his help in rescuing Lloyd from the Serpentine.
The pair ascended the mountain and battled the aggressive Craglings that inhabited it. They then used a portal at the mountain’s summit to travel back to Ninjago. Later, Lloyd and Morro briefly appeared on the mountain while traveling through various realms.
===Departed Realm===
The Departed Realm is a location mentioned, but not visited, in the "Day of the Departed" special. It is where the spirits of all beings-including Nindroids and Stone Army soldiers-travel upon their death. Using his own magic and the power of the Yin-Yang Eclipse, Sensei Yang was able to release the spirits of Samukai, General Kozu, General Cryptor, Master Chen, and Morro from this realm. He also infused weapons carried by the five and a staff later claimed by Pythor with magic that would allow them to send a living being to the Departed Realm-for the fallen villains, this would allow them to remain in Ninjago beyond the duration of the eclipse, returning to life. The villains subsequently summoned the spirits of several fallen henchmen to aid them in their efforts, but all of them-with the exception of Morro-were eventually defeated and returned to the Departed Realm. 
Morro chose not to seek vengeance, and instead warned the Ninja of Yang's plan before voluntarily returning to the Departed Realm. According to Cryptor, Dr. Julien was also in the Departed Realm, indicating that the realm was the home of all the departed and not just beings of evil. The Sons of Garmadon later gathered the Oni Masks in order to bring Garmadon back from the Departed Realm. However, the properties of the masks resulted in the return of Garmadon in a villainous guise, rather than as the hero he had been when he perished.
In The Kaiju Protocol, Wu and P.I.X.A.L. accidentally opened a portal to the Departed Realm while attempting to reach the Never Realm. This allowed the Preeminent to escape and attack Ninjago, though fortunately it was quickly defeated and returned to the Departed Realm.
===Djinjago===
Djinjago was a world that was inhabited by the Djinn race. The architecture of its kingdom slightly resembles Taj Mahal. After the destruction of the Cursed Realm, Djinjago was affected and also destroyed, due to their nature as "sister realm[s]".
In "Enkrypted", Nadakhan-a prince of the royal family of Djinjago-returned to his home realm to find it in the final stages of collapse. His father, Khanjikhan, explained why the realm was being destroyed before conferring the Sword of Souls upon his son. Nadkhan would set out to establish a New Djinjago in the realm of Ninjago itself. However, all of these events were later reversed by Jay's final wish in "The Way Back"; as such, in the new timeline Djinjago was destroyed without Nadakhan having the chance to return there.
=== First Realm ===
The First Realm, also known as the Realm of Oni and Dragons, is a realm outside of Ninjago, and the first to be created. It is inhabited by Dragons and Oni and was the original home of the First Spinjitzu Master. Born with both the Dragons' power of Creation and the Oni power of Destruction, the Master was caught up in the conflict between the two groups and departed for Ninjago. Centuries later Wu and the first four Ninja were transported here following the return of Lord Garmadon.
===Imperium===
=== Never-Realm ===
The Never-Realm is a realm far removed from Ninjago; the First Spinjitzu Master visited it on only one occasion, and only just managed to make his way back home. Afterwards, he spoke of it it to Wu on only one occasion, warning him against ever attempting to travel there. At some point Aspheera learned of its existence, and intended to send Wu there in payment for what she saw as his betrayal. Zane ended up being sent there in Wu's place, prompting the other Ninja to travel there to rescue him.
Due to being sent to the past by Aspheera, Zane spent decades in the Never-Realm. Due to the machinations of Vex, Zane lost his memory and became the Ice Emperor, a tyrant who terrorized the realm and its inhabitants with his corrupted ice and Blizzard Samurai. Most of the Never-Realm's human residents were either frozen or forced to move south as a result of the increasing cold. However, after the Ninja arrived, Zane was able to regain his memories and reversed the effects of his powers, returning the Never-Realm to its former peaceful state.
====Great Lake====
Great Lake is a lake in the Never-Realm that is home to the village of the Ice Fishers, a tribe of hunters and fishermen. The center of village life is the Hearthfire, a sacred flame that has burned long and brought warmth to the villagers. It was the last fire to survive the coming of the Ice Emperor's cold winter, and the Ice Fishers dared not leave it for they could not kindle another. The Ninja later came to the village after their arrival in the Never-Realm, and sought the aid of village elder Sorla to find their missing friend Zane.
Having learned of their arrival, the Ice Emperor sent a force of Blizzard Samurai to attack the newcomers under the command of Grimfax. The Ninja proved too much for his warriors, but Grimfax succeeded in extinguishing the Hearthfire. However, after he fled, Kai was able to reignite the fire using his elemental power. The Ninja remained in the village for some time, with Lloyd leaving his teammates to defend it while he made his way to the Ice Castle.
Unfortuantely, the Ice Fisher village was attaced by Boreal, the Ice Emperor's dragon, and its inhabitants were frozen despite Kai's efforts to defend them. Fortunately, the Ice Emperor was soon awakened to his true identity, and he freed all those who had been trapped by his dark ice. The Ice Fishers, grateful, then helped the Ninja to return home to Ninjago.
====Formlings' Village====
The Formlings' Village was a village located in woodlands in the Never-Realm, which was home to the Formlings. It was attacked by Boreal and its inhabitants-except for Akita and Kataru-frozen in place. As such, the place was regarded as cursed, and the idea of taking shelter there was rejected by one of the Ice Fishers. Zane later freed the village from his powers, and the Formlings joined the former Blizzard Samurai in exiling Vex, the ex-Formling who had started the conflict.
====Ice Castle====
====Krag's Mountain====
Krag's Mountain is a large peak near the Great Lake that was home to Krag and his fellow creatures. Sadly, it was attacked by Blizzard Samurai, and ultimately Krag was left its sole inhabitant. Cole later visited the mountain in search of the Traveler's Tree, and was befriended by Krag. At Cole's invitation, Krag later left the mountain and came to dwell in the village of the Ice Fishers on Great Lake.
Aside from the tree, the mountain's most notable feature was a series of caverns where Krag-and his people before their fall-made their home. It included a number of beds, and a memorial consisting of rocks covered with blue flowers.
=====Traveler's Tree=====
The Traveler's Tree is a magical tree, and from its leaves can be brewed Traveler's Tea, a substance that allows travel between the Realms. Its fruit also possesses great power, enough to enable travelers from the Never-Realm to reach Ninjago. The fruit is used as food by Krag, but humans-or at least Cole-find it repulsive.
====Wojira's Wrath====
Wojira's Wrath is a pass linking the Great Lake and the Ice Castle.
===The Underworld===
The Underworld is where Lord Garmadon, Samukai and many other old Ninjago villians were banished. It is home to various skeletal-creatures, decayed vegetation, and huge spiders. Grave Island is located here, as is Garmadon's Dark Fortress, which is protected by his giant Bone Spider. Previous guests to his fortress include Samukai, King of the Underworld, Frakjaw, Bonezai, Chopov, Krazi and Bob the Barbarian. A ferris wheel was also built there by the Ninja.
Clouse was later trapped here following the events of The Dark Island Trilogy.
===Wyldness===
== Notes ==
* Ninjago was first imagined to be Japan in the LEGO multiverse, but it was then revealed Ninjago is an independent earth-like planet.
** In Episode 55, the narration of a news anchor reveals Ninjago is a nation.
* Ninjago City and Stiix are so far the only urban areas in the world, which leads to many questions about the population of Ninjago.
** However in "The Corridor of Elders", when Jay is speaking to rally up the people of Ninjago to fight back against the Anacondrai, he states that their cities and villages are falling, which also implies there may be other cities as well.
* In the "Weapons of Destiny", when the Ninja's previous lives appeared in flashbacks, Jay attempted to fly a glider off of a skyscraper in a city. Later on, he states how he's always wanted to come to Ninjago City. This may also prove there is another major city in Ninjago, or it was a memory error on the part of the writers.
* The ninja always yell "Ninja GO!" before performing Spinjitzu, while the world goes by the same name, but smashed together and pronounced differently. (Nin-jah-go).
* A train once appeared in an episode, but as an old-fashioned steam locomotive, likely from the 1950s. Where it was going remains unknown, leaving speculation that other cities must exist. Ninjago City is home to many subways, and a monorail. In "The Greatest Fear of All", a railroad crossing appeared outside of Ninjago City beside a tunnel.
* Planes are mentioned, but never appear (except for Jay's Storm Fighter, Kai's Fighter Jet, Cole's Boulder Blaster and jet fighters that patrolled Ninjago City in Rebooted).
** Normal helicopters now take the place of Hovercopters.
* Ninjago was created by the First Spinjitzu Master with the Four Golden Weapons, although the Golden Weapons were forged at the Golden Peaks. It was also mentioned that the gold of the Golden Weapons was taken from the Temple of Light. It is unknown, and will most likely remain unknown how they existed before the creation of Ninjago.
* In "The Void", after crashing onto the comet, the Ninja take a lunar rover to find the Nindroids and the Golden Weapons. If such a vehicle exists, this may imply Ninjago's history somewhat follows ours, and that the moon has been reached by humans. 
** The Moon also has the exact crater formations as in real life. This could also be so for undeveloped animation.
* Although 'no other land exists outside of Ninjago', Ninjago City has its own harbor, which technically makes it a trading city for other landmasses.
** Karlof mentioning he hails from "Metalonia" implies that there is more to the world, however this could also be a region of Ninjago proper.
* Despite having television and cell phones, satellites are not mentioned, nor seen in the episode "The Void".
* In "The Greatest Fear of All", Nya informs the Ninja and the other Elemental Masters of Anacondrai-loaded trucks splitting up to what she describes as densely-populated villages around Ninjago City.
* Also in "The Greatest Fear of All", Nya mentions the Anacondrai have 'Taken over the entire Eastern Seaboard', which in real life is the entire east coast of the United States.
* Also in the "The Corridor of Elders", there are a few different views of a map of Ninjago in the rebuilt Destiny's Bounty, which once again takes the shape of the land back in Season Two, although it differed in Season Three. Still, the map changed view and only showed the northern parts of the land, not enough to make anything out.
** In Episode 56, a small satellite picture of Ninjago itself sits on the wall behind Misako.
** In Episode 58, a map behind the police chief reveals the southern end of Ninjago that curves westward is actually a string of islands.
* In "The Royal Blacksmiths", Cole stated that the Constrictai Fang Blade had found by Clutch Powers. However, it is unknown how Clutch managed to visit the world of Ninjago.
*According to LEGO Dimensions, there are various portals throughout LEGO worlds, that allow you to travel to other worlds in the LEGO Multiverse. However, it is still unconfirmed where the portals to Ninjago are.
*In the episode Stiix and Stones, while in Ronin's shop, Kai is visibly seen looking at a shelf with an old globe of the real-life Earth but doesn't notice it. This could be for lack of care in rendering a globe of Ninjago's planet, or Earth is accidentally confirmed as another realm in the LEGO multiverse.
**The real-life version of Earth could be another realm accessible by the Realm Crystal, much like Chima is, and may explain Clutch Powers' presence in Ninjago.
**If you look closely on the globe Kai stood next to in Stiix and Stones, one can see that the entire west coast of the United States is broken off of the mainland. In real life this is a vintage world map, and was because the actual west coast had not been discovered yet and was assumed Baja California was an island, not a peninsula.
*Although the portals to the Cloud Kingdom, Dark Continent, Underworld, and Cursed Realm have been seen; it is unknown where the portal to the Land of Chima is located or can be opened, without using the Realm Crystal.
*Though actual dates are not known in Ninjago, it's New Year takes place in July, when the episode it was announced on aired. This proves holidays are different in Ninjago, although in a previous episode, Kai mentioned Santa Claus.
**Which is a bit strange, since Tommy Andreasen confirmed that Christmas does not exist in Ninjago.
*In Episode 55, Kai uses a smartphone to tell people he is at the Ninjago City hospital and Nya asks "Are you sending a chirp?!", implying there is a Ninjago-equivalent of Twitter.
*Dareth now works for NGTV as a commercial supervisor and is likely well-known to Ninjago by this point.
*Borg Industries still has systems around Ninjago City, such as information kiosks.
*Ninjago City Police officers have tasers, as seen in episode 56, and actual pistols as seen in episode 58.
**In later episodes, it is revealed that normal guns, such as musket pistols and shotguns as well as laser rifles exist in Ninjago.
*Jamanakai Village, for some reason, is now located in Ninjago City instead of on a remote mountainside.
*In episode 57, a prisoner scolds Cole then says "What's earth anyway?" before walking away. This may imply that Ninjago's planet isn't called Earth by it's inhabitants.
*Before Ninjago City's massive skyline existed, it appeared much like a normal village, but also the region was snowy rather than desert.
