## Depictions in the Series

### Early Life

At some point in time, the Oni Mask of Deception and the other Oni Masks were created by the Oni in the Realm of Oni and Dragons and brought to the realm of Ninjago. It would eventually fall into the possession of the Royal Family and remained in the Royal Palace.

### The Overlord Sons

#### The Mask of Deception - Part I

The Ninja were assigned by the Royal Family to protect the Oni Mask of Deception from a potential Sons of the Overlord attack. Hutchins proceeded to show the mask in its display case to the Ninja.

#### The Mask of Deception - Part II

Later on, Lloyd looks at the mask's display case before checking up on Harumi, only to find her missing.

#### The Jade Princess

As predicted, the Sons of the Overlord attack the Royal Palace in hopes of stealing the Oni Mask of Deception. While Ultra Violet and several other Sons of the Overlord members fend off against the defending Royal Guards, Mr. E rides his bike through the palace and eventually finds where the mask is located. However, the Ninja corner him in front of the mask's display case. Unknown to the Ninja, Mr. E brought along the Oni Mask of Vengeance and puts it on, where it gives Mr. E two additional arms and swords. Mr. E fights off the Ninja, eventually knocking them down after utilizing the mask's power to use Jay's Lightning against them. As Mr. E claims the Oni Mask of Deception, Kai, in a last-ditch attempt to stop him, blasts a fireball at him, which ultimately shatters the Oni Mask of Deception in his hands.

However, it is revealed that the Oni Mask of Deception that was on display was a fake; Hutchins had hidden the real mask in the vaults below the palace and tasks Lloyd and Harumi with fleeing with it. However, they are soon chased down by Ultra Violet and a few Sons of the Overlord members, who manage to "knock" it out of Harumi's hands and claim it before Lloyd and Harumi can.

#### Snake Jaguar

Killow uses the Oni Mask of Deception to lift rocks into the air in attempt to crush Zane during the bike race after finding out he was a spy, trying to make him lose the race. However, Zane manages to dodge all of his attacks, forcing Killow to escape with the mask while Mr. E fights Zane.

#### The Quiet One

Killow uses the Oni Mask of Deception's telekinetic powers to create a bridge of rocks over a trench for the Sons of the Overlord to cross in order to reach the crashed *Destiny's Bounty*. After reaching the *Bounty*, Killow and Mr. E both put on the Oni Masks of Deception and Vengeance on, respectively, when confronting the Ninja.

#### Game of Masks

Killow uses the Oni Mask of Deception during the Ninja and the Sons of the Overlord's battle with the Sea Monster.

#### Dread on Arrival

Killow uses the Oni Mask of Deception to cause carnage against the Ninjago police force during their attack on the Royal Palace, which was taken over by the Sons of the Overlord and coverted into the Temple of Resurrection. The Oni Mask of Deception would later be used in the resurrection ritual with the other two masks. However, the Ninja would stop the ritual before it could be complete. The Ninjago police force soon arrives, arresting the Sons of the Overlord and presumably confiscating the masks. It is possible that the Sons of the Overlord later recovered the Oni Masks.

### Hunted

#### The Glided Path

During the Sons of the Overlord's surprise attack on the Resistance's headquarters, Killow utilized the Oni Mask and Deception, effectively using its powers along with Harumi using the Oni Mask of Hatred to help overpower the Elemental Masters.

#### Saving Faith

As Skylor gains control over the Colossus, a small Sons of the Overlord team lead by Ultra Violet and Killow arrive in the streets to apprehend the remaining members of the Resistance. After Ultra Violet was thrown across the city by the Colossus, Killow proceeds to put on the Oni Mask of Deception and uses its telekinetic powers to levitate three cars in order to damage the Colossus. However, it simply pushes away the cars, causing them to fall and pin Killow onto the ground, knocking off the mask from his face. As he desperately reached out for it and grabbed it in his hand, the mask cracked and fell apart, destroying it.
