==Official description==
Season 2 Teaser: BEWARE: A chilling new threat is on the horizon, and from a face that looks all too familiar. An army of glowing wolf masks? An ominous gong? Could it all be connected to the blood moon visions that are haunting Master Lloyd? Brace yourself for more epic ninja action because ninja NEVER quit!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe1E1-NZelk
Ras at Shadow Dojo: Brace yourselves – the ninja aren’t the only ones making a comeback in season 2! Lord Ras and Jordana are blazing a trail through the Wyldness. What mysteries are they seeking hidden in the depths of the Forest of Spirits? The real question is: are you ready for what’s to come?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moXesdHEWiA
The Dragon Master: Strap yourself in, ninja. A new action-packed adventure awaits! Master Lloyd’s visions have unleashed a whirlwind of mystery – Source Dragons, Shatterspin, and a mysterious dragon master. Can he and the rest of the ninja piece together the puzzle before it’s too late?https://youtu.be/ros4oc2uZO4
The Blood Moon: Imperium may have crumbled but Lord Ras’ evil plans are far from over! Forbidden secrets, dark powers from a lost age, and a mysterious blood moon – sounds like a recipe for DISASTER! Yikes, things do NOT look good for the ninja…https://youtu.be/t2SbObU86dQ
Ninja Mission: Are you ready to join the ninja on their mission? Trust in Master Lloyd’s visions is uncertain but faith in the legendary green ninja remains. He’s never let them down. Will the ninja discover the teacher they need, or have they led themselves into a trap?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCT-bUEqXo0
Season 2 Trailer: Ninjas, brace yourselves for an epic new quest! The ninja face a threat like never before. An arcane ritual threatens to resurrect the Forbidden Five and a forgotten, corrupted fighting technique has emerged. Do the ninja have the power to defeat this ancient darkness? The clock is ticking... THE BLOOD MOON IS COMING!!https://youtu.be/wd053dtwBOI?feature=shared
Training Begins: Lord Ras’ army has mastered the corrupted art of Shatterspin – but you bet ninja training is A GO! Ninja never quit, which is good because learning to fight Shatterspin is NOT going to be a walk in the park. Can the ninja master their technique before the Blood Moon rises? Go, ninja, GO!https://youtu.be/nIBpVF7DZeU?feature=shared
Rising Dragon: Rising Dragon isn’t just a set of skills that combat Shatterspin, it’s a way of life. And it can only be achieved by a third fang ninja. Wait, what the ninblooey? What’s a third fang ninja? Or a first or second fang ninja? It looks like there’s a lot more to learn than just the technique...https://youtu.be/-TfMZNOhtLs?si=XfBlDMbJiNg4_xZP
Netflix: Wolf-masked warriors. Forbidden fighters. A Blood Moon. Lloyd's dreams may be visions of a startling future —— unless the Ninja can rise up and stop it.
Wyldfyre: Wyldfyre is known for her impatience and fiery temper. Throw a broken leg and a serious case of FOMO into the mix and this fire-spewing Elemental master of heat is NOT happy. Can the ninja trust that this wild warrior will do what she’s told and rest up?https://youtu.be/ePCvY_4kqsY?feature=shared
LEGO's YouTube Channel: To stop the return of ancient evil Elemental Masters known as the Forbidden Five, the Ninja must learn a new power and enter a Tournament of Sources.https://youtu.be/lmHGftlx44Qhttps://www.9now.com.au/ninjago-dragons-rising/season-2
Wyldfyre Rant: Wild warrior Wyldfyre HATES being left out of anything. She was NOT very happy when she was told she had to rest instead of training with the ninja. Well, who said she wanted to do stupid training to save the stupid world anyway?!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcvcLyD-C8c
Search for the Mallet: Are you as bad at spotting liars as Arin? He's too trusting and not everyone tells the truth. Take Fedulian - he's got a rep in the Crossroads for being kinda sketchy. Sora saw right through his lies! Side note - what's up with Sora's weird graffiti noodle cat?!https://youtu.be/DkwH2dSAQzg?feature=shared
Sibling Rivalry: Can you believe that Egalt asked Kai and Nya to compete against each other AND THEN complained when they started battling it out?! Well, DUH! Of course that was going to happen, they’re siblings! What did he expect?!https://youtu.be/FwiJpNP3IgQ
Time for a Quest: What the ninblooey – Bonzle’s a powerful ancient spell that can banish ultimate evil? Didn’t see that coming! But Cole’s right – she’s not JUST a spell, she’s a person too! So they’ve gotta do what they gotta do to protect her. You know what that means: NINJA QUEST!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHNo2z0j5wE
The Shadow Dojo is unlocked!: Lord Ras has found the Shadow Dojo in the Forest of Spirits! It’s where he wants to perform a Blood Moon ritual to conquer the NINJAGO® world. Me and the rest of the ninja crew must meet there to stop him!https://kids.lego.com/en-us/video/the-shadow-dojo-is-unlocked-10f561fd9d73410f9467500228c7b29e
A new quest for the ninja: Lloyd has had a vision of imminent danger: A Blood Moon is coming to resurrect the Forbidden Five! We can’t let that happen! Sora has told me I can do Spinjitzu and I guess now is the time to prove her right!https://kids.lego.com/en-us/video/a-new-quest-for-the-ninja-2d5ad37b018e46c6959eb1f03b553eda
Arin's Spinjitzu Training: Why’s Arin so hard on himself? He can do what NO ONE can – give Spinjitzu to inanimate objects! That’s pretty cool. He needs to remember what Master Lloyd says, “No one’s ninja journey is the same”.https://youtu.be/hc-TAYxlP7k?feature=shared
Mech Battle: It's time to kick some Administration butt! (Agent Allen, throwing a mech-style samurai sword at Zane’s back was NOT cool.) Don’t they know that ninja never quit? Yeah, that’s right, Agents: ZANE IS A NINJA, NOT A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT!https://youtu.be/J-31vM9euEw
Climber Mech Trouble: The only way to not fall into nothingness and instant doom is to jump…at the exact same time…in exactly the right place… Piece of cake? It’s nothing that the ninja can’t handle! It’s a shame the same can’t be said for Bounty.https://youtu.be/gX3msamklfg?si=mvS89DiYigCMkugf

==Trivia==
*Tied with the previous season, this is the longest season in the franchise in terms of runtime, having 20 episodes that are 22 minutes long. (440 minutes total)
*This is the first season to have 3 set waves.
**It is also the first season to have waves entirely based of one part of the season: the March wave being based on the first part of the season and the June wave on the second. The January wave is mostly based on the Mechs shorts.https://youtu.be/ed_Y9q4fpQ8?si=XAWXBf0cT79phhIf
*According to Chris "Doc" Wyatt:
**One of the episodes has a classic Doctor Who 1977 episode reference that is deep and obscure.https://twitter.com/otherland71/status/1727045862751351034
**Episode 11 will clarify the specifics of Dragon Matriarchs.https://x.com/otherland71/status/1751130264829649390?s=61&t=tjA7oyzddHRAG-YPaFuNTg
**Episode 7 was his favorite episode of the series to write.https://twitter.com/otherland71/status/1727931236000399727
*The season went into production in 2022.https://twitter.com/KevinBurke20/status/1767183315172544867
*On March 12, 2024, writers Chris "Doc" Wyatt and Kevin Burke each tweeted out a sneak peak at the season in the form of two truths and a lie.
**Wyatt's three statements were:
***The Ninja will be sorted according to their Fang status.
***When the Blood Moon rises, Skullkins gain special powers.
***The Administration will have problems getting the equipment they want.https://x.com/otherland71/status/1767566326607016087
****The second statement is the lie: Egalt and Rontu sort the ninja by their Fang status and the ninja prevent the Administration's attempts to recover Zane, who they consider to be their equipment.
**Burke's three statements were:
***Scrolls written in ancient Theroxian reveal how to perform an evil ritual.
***A Writer of Destiny has a direct connection to the Forbidden Five.
***Slug Merchants travel the Merged Lands less frequently than some would like.https://x.com/kevinburke20/status/1767566663313219727
****The second statement is the lie: the scrolls of the Forbidden Five, which are written in Theroxian, reveal how to execute the Ritual of the Blood Moon, and Gandalaria mentions that she had been waiting for the Slug Merchants to arrive to Mysterium for weeks.
*Wyldfyre will get a boyfriend in this season.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raEupwoJos4 (formerly subtitles)
*Kevin Burke stated that the overall theme for this season is secrets.https://x.com/kevinburke20/status/1774588758232633552
*The trailer for Season 2 had a shot of Cinder powering up to use Shatterspin but the Shatterspin circle was missing, unlike in the episode.
*This is the first time that someone has been credited as creating original music alongside Jay Vincent and Michael Kramer, that person being Adam Dib. He's worked on the show since 2021 as creating additional music.
