## Official Descriptions

**Teaser Trailer 1**: *Everything feels so familiar. And yet...nothing is the same. Join new heroes on a journey into thrilling and dangerous new worlds in Dragons Rising, the new show from LEGO NINJAGO. Coming soon.*

**Netflix:** *In the series, many legendary realms have suddenly combined into one, but their union is unstable. A Spinjitzu Ninja Master must train a new generation of heroes to help find Elemental Dragons who can save the planet before the forces of evil use the same dragon energy to destroy this new world.*

**Netflix (Shorter):** *Two teenagers from different worlds use their newly discovered Ninja powers to defend dragons from villains who want to use their life-force for evil.*

**It all started with The Merge...**: *There is no going back from The Merge. But ... how will it change Ninjago? Is it an ending? A new beginning, or both? Only time will tell...*

**New Show... New Villains!**: *Good luck, ninja. These bad guys don’t even know the meaning of the word weakness...*

**Change can be scary...**: *...but it’s also a chance for something better. Hold on to your bandanas, Ninjago fans, things are about to get E P I C...*

**“The world has changed so much...”**: *Strap yourself in ninjas, and prepare for Dragons Rising, the brand new show from NINJAGO! How will The Merge change things for the ninja? Speaking of ninja...where ARE the ninja? Who are Arin, Sora and Riyu? Do they have elemental powers? Why are dragons being captured? So. Many. Questions! The only way to find out?

**Introducing Sora**: *“Why go anywhere when the best of the realms are here. For example...me!”*

*Skilful, independent and definitely not lacking in confidence, Sora seized her chance to leave the shadowy city of Imperium when The Merge hit. Now she’s struck up a friendship with Arin that could take them both to new heights...*

**Meet Arin!**: *Just another ‘wannabe’ ninja? Or something more? Things got shaken up by The Merge, and nobody felt it more than ninja superfan Arin. One thing is for sure, epic adventures await him and his new buddy, tech genius Sora.*

**Baby Dragon Riyu**: *FIRE! ICE! LIGHTNING! EARTH! Ummm...Tech?!?*

*Has a new elemental power been discovered? And is it linked to the bond between Sora and the impossibly cute, curiously powerful baby dragon Riyu? Mystery surrounds this tiny, cuddly creature, but Arin, Sora and Lloyd know that he needs protecting...*

**Lloyd the master?**: *Has the apprentice become the master? Arin and Sora’s arrival has given Lloyd the chance to pass on everything that Wu taught him. Guess he must have missed the ‘how to grow an epic beard’ lesson though...*

**Ras expects answers...**: *The ninja have faced some tough adversaries, but not many as fearsome as tiger-humanoid Ras. He demands total focus, competence and loyalty from his minions, so it’s probably best he doesn’t find out you’ve been working on your autobiographical one-man musical instead...*

**Save the Dragons!**: *It’s a desperate time for the dragons. Since The Merge, the evil Claws of Imperium can cross freely into the united realms to hunt them down. They need an ally, but Lloyd, Arin and Sora must prove themselves trustworthy first...*
