Ninjago S10 E4

## Plot

Faith has woken up, and tells Misako and Wu about the Oni that attacked the first realm. She knew that she couldn't defeat them when she was the only one left, so she fled with Firstbourne to warn them. It's revealed that since the end of season 9, she and the other dragon hunters now ride dragons instead. The ninja return, and tell Wu and Misako that Cole didn't make it. Garmadon and Misako see each other for the first time since their epic hallway fight, and he says that the old him would've said something sweet and heartfelt, but he's not that man anymore. He gives the Golden Armor to Wu, who gives it to Kai. Oh! My heart! They're all so sad about Cole! Kai reforges the Sword of Fire, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice, and the Scythe of Quakes, which he gives to Nya. The Oni head toward the monastery. Cole wakes up, fixes his keys, and summons his drill tank thing from the first episode of the season, which he left parked on the crowded highway. He heads outside, and is barely able to make it before he's frozen by the air. He runs into Oni, but he just drives through them. Garmadon and the ninja are outside, and Lloyd tells his mom to stay safe and get inside. She hugs him and tells him that she loves him. Faith and Wu head outside to join them in fighting the Oni. Nya tries to use the Scythe, but it's not responding because she's not the master of earth. Cole shows up, and everyone is glad to see that he's alive. Garmadon transforms into his own Oni form, but they just keep coming. The Omega senses uncertainty and doubt in his heart. Part of him longs to be human again, in order to understand the others. He says that his hopes weaken him, and he changes back into his more humanoid form. Lloyd tells everyone to fall back to the monastery. The door won't hold forever. Jay finally asks Nya to be his Yang, and she accepts. Lloyd looks at the mural, and gets the idea to defeat the Oni by doing the Tornado of Creation, but this time with himself, Nya, Wu, and Garmadon as well. Garmadon refuses at first, but joins in at the last second. And then Lloyd wakes up in a grassland filled with floating rocks. He pets a dragon with a saddle, and meets its rider: His grandfather, the first spinjitzu master, voiced by Jim Conrad. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! He says that Lloyd faced destruction with dignity and courage, and responded with love. There is no greater response. Lloyd has done so much for Ninjago, he should be the one kneeling. He brought him here to thank him. Life is balance. Endings are never really endings, only new beginnings. Don't you go around quoting Mistaké at me! Now I'm gonna cry! Also, I'm officially dead from all the emotions. My ghost is writing this now. Just kidding, in case anyone out there thought I was serious. Lloyd has given everyone a new beginning. The future is what we make of it, and he refused to let their future end in darkness. The first spinjitzu master tells Lloyd well done, and kneels to him. Lloyd doesn't understand any of this. His grandfather says that he will, but only if he comes with him. As for where, that's a secret, but Lloyd will be happy there. Or he could return to his friends, and take up his duties as the Green Ninja again, but if he does that, he'll think all of this was a dream, and will soon forget about it altogether. Back in Ninjago and the first realm, the darkness disappears, and everyone wakes up. The others were knocked unconscious, and find Lloyd buried under some debris. They think that he's dead, but then a petal from the grasslands blows by, and he wakes up. He tries to tell them what happened, but they think he hit his head really hard. While they're celebrating, Garmadon leaves, with Wu saying goodbye to him once again. Sometime later, the ninja use their handprints and paint to create a new mural, with Wu, Misako, Pixal, Faith, Skylor, Cyrus Borg, Karlof, Ronin, Dareth, monks, the mailman, and others looking on. As the camera pans up to the Firstbourne dragon flying around in the sky, we see the Ninjago alphabet spell out the words "The End," like the ending to *Avatar: The Last Airbender* or *The Legend of Korra*. The season is dedicated to William "Scott" Godon-Decoteau, who was a driving force behind the production of seasons 5, 6, and 7, and passed away in an accident on October 10, 2018. All four episodes aired together as a movie called "March of the Oni" on April 19, 2019, in the U.S., with season 11 coming out just two months later, and like season 8, it also changed a lot, but time will tell whether the risks that they took were for better or worse, at least in my opinion.
