Ninjago S11 E20

## Plot

Episode 19 takes place in Ninjago. It's once again an episode that stops the current plot in its tracks and focuses on other characters, but I don't mind it as much because it has 2D animation for some of its scenes! Yes! Ninjago would make a great anime! I love this episode because it's ridiculous and over the top and silly and cheesy *on purpose*. In Kryptarium prison, the Mechanic and Ultra Violet learn that the ninja are missing, and decide to use the opportunity to break out. They debate who the worst ninja is. Ultra Violet thinks Zane is the worst, and the Mechanic thinks that Nya is the worst. Another prisoner named Fugi-Dove says that Jay is the worst. Ultra Violet recounts how Wu and the ninja returned to Ninjago in season 9, and Zane fought her, and there was a jet. Fugi-Dove says it was a dragon, not a jet, and it froze her the second it showed up. The Mechanic recalls how Nya showed up while he was robbing places with a noodle truck and stopped him, and she also stole his truck. Fugi-Dove and Ultra Violet don't think that last part sounds like Nya. Fugi-Dove says he was robbing the bank and stopped Lloyd, Kai, and Cole when Jay showed up to stop him and fried him with lightning bolt rope. The Mechanic says that the blue ninja doesn't ride lightning bolts. Ultra Violet tells him that's not how lightning or rope works. They finally escape, only to be immediately caught by Pixal, and they all decide that Samurai X is the worst. In episode 20, some villagers find some green cloth and give it to the ninja, who recognize it as Lloyd's. They found it on the other side of the forest. There were signs of fighting and an avalanche. Meanwhile, Lloyd has been telling the wolf all about his life and his problems. He names the wolf Red after the markings on its face and the tips of its tails. While heading towards the Titan mech, they find large and small bones everywhere, and a giant owl attacks them. They save each other and hide in a cave. The display is busted, but the Titan mech is inside. Unfortunately, Zane isn't there, but he left a message. Time passes differently in the Never-Realm than it does in Ninjago. Either that, or Aspheera also sent Zane into the past. He's been here a long time and has yet to find a way home, but he refuses to give up hope. The mech's processing unit is damaged. He may be able to fix it, but it would require running a diagnostic. He'll attempt to connect himself to the mech's processor. As long as the cable isn't removed, he should be okay. If anything goes wrong, and this message is found one day, then he wants whoever finds it to know that this is the last recording of Zane, Master of Ice, son of Dr. Julien, student of Master Wu. He was built to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and he tried his best to fulfill this purpose. He has no regrets. He has the best friends anyone could ask for. He tells Pixal that he loves her, and the message ends. The music that played during this scene is the same from season 3. Lloyd may not be a builder like Zane, but he's twice as stubborn, and is determined to get the mech to work. He uses his elemental powers to fix it and fight the owl outside the cave. He intimidates it and makes it fly away. Now he and Red can move a lot faster.
