***Garmadon!*** is the 95th issue of the Ninjago Magazine. It includes 892295 Cole and Golden Dragon Kai appears on the cover. It released on the second of November 2022 in Germany.

## *Bad Boys' Night Out!*

As they watch Garmadon teaching Lloyd how to unlock his Oni form, Kai, Jay and Cole start having doubts before Cole asks Vinny Folson about how helping Garmadon had been, to which he replied 'pretty tiring.' He tells them the time he would clean his apartment while Garmadon plays video games before deciding to take him out for a night on the town since staying at home would get boring.

Disguising him in a trench coat and hat, Vinny and Garmadon went to a restaurant where all the patrons were scared by the latter, a waiter even giving Vinny a free dessert. After dinner, Vinny and Garmadon continued their night out, where they see a clown entertaining children, amusing Vinny, but not Garmadon. They later went to an arcade before they leave after a while, Garmadon still not amused. They eventually arrive at Laughy's, with Vinny believing Garmadon will enjoy karaoke.

Unfortunately, there weren't many patrons around before they came across Dareth, who was behind the bar, sorting out a bunch of courtroom paperwork. Upon being asked by Vinny how he became a lawyer, Dareth explains he was embarrassingly on trial himself for breaking and entering (in his own club while closing up), abducting a dog (that he thought was a stray), and unpaid parking tickets (when he loaned his car to a friend). However, since he hadn't done anything wrong, his lawyer managed to get him off the hook every time. Dareth eventually took a three-week crash course and became a lawyer himself, being proclaimed a talented lawyer as he managed to get various clients' charges dropped.

As Dareth concludes his story, Garmadon notices two patrons leaving, amusing him as they were in a bad mood, which he believes is conflict, and decided to find more of it. So, they head to see the movie theatre, where they watch a really boring movie, go to a restaurant that has bad customer service and bad food, watch some bad street performers annoying some citizens passing by and tenants of the building they were in front of, and walk down an alleyway that Vinny says is in a dodgy neighbourhood.

On the other side, they hear a woman screaming for help as two thugs are trying to mug her. Deciding to use it as an opportunity for good, Garmadon approaches them, which causes the thugs to quickly run away in fear. While giving the woman her purse back, the New Ninja spot Garmadon, and thought he was mugging her before confronting him. Ridiculing them, Garmadon takes off his coat and hat, and intends to battle them in Oni form before reminds him of his promise not to resort to destruction. Returning to normal, Garmadon apologizes, but decided to teach the New Ninja a lesson regardless and takes them all down in one hit.

Vinny finishes telling the story, which Cole remarks Garmadon as entertaining and Kai remarking hopefully not a disappointment while Garmadon reprimands Lloyd for having fun, making the latter doubt he'll ever take on Oni form.
