Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu

TBA.

**Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu** is a series of eleven videos from the LEGO website made to promote the *Ninjago: Legacy* sets. It is preceded by Hunted and LEGO Ninjago & My Little Pony: Best Gift Ever and succeeded by March of the Oni. A team of painters is creating a mural of the Ninjas' past victories, while the team train in the newly rebuilt Monastery of Spinjitzu and reminisce about the past.

The flashbacks are canon, but with some details being different than what actually occurred because they are fantasies, dreams, or visual augmentations.

## Official Description

Watch these all-new original stories to see how the ninja remember past LEGO NINJAGO adventures!*

## Trivia

* It appears that the inconsistency between the designs used in the Legacy sets and how the events actually happened in the show is explained by the Ninja remembering the past in an exaggerated way, or having selective memory.
	+ The movies are confirmed to be canon by Tommy Andreasen, explaining that "Two of them are set in present day. The other 4 all start and end in present day; however, the stories are memories, fantasies, dreams, visual augmentations which means they are saturated by the ninja's current state of mind and self image."
		- The only flashback that seems to be completely accurate is the one in "The Weekend Drill", as it takes place after Season 9, and Cole having the Earth Driller is explained as Nya giving him a new one as a gift. The Giant Stone Warrior he fights is the same one from Season 2, which is still in Kryptarium Prison.
		- Zane explains that the reason he and Kai look different than they actually did in a data log of a fight with Venomari taking place at some point during the first season is because it is a visual augmentation, and he has selective memory to make himself look cooler.
		- Lloyd looks and sounds like he currently does in a flashback that takes place after the second season because it is a dream. What remains consistent, is that he does not have green eyes.
		- In Nya's flashback to her Samurai X days, she imagines the additions she would give to her mech if she had made it in the present, saying that she would have made it less bulky.
		- Jay's flashback to using the Nunchucks of Lightning in a fight against Pythor during Season 1 is a day-dream.
* In the Monastery of Spinjitzu, there is a mural most of the adventures of the Ninja going from the confrontation with the Skulkin of the Pilot Episodes until the confrontation with the Overlord in Season 9: Hunted. Even the Dark Island Trilogy is included. "Day of the Departed," however, is not.
* Nya encounters a young Harumi and her parents in the village she helps save them from the Skulkin in "Samurai X-Treme."
* Killow and Ultra Violet appear in "The Weekend Drill." The Fold also makes an appearance as prisoners at Kryptarium.
