Ninjago S6 E2

## Plot

I like the new version of the theme song. I feel like one of the themes of this season and the previous one is change, and how to accept it. Jay is the focus character, which is a first. He's the only one who hasn't changed yet. Lloyd switched sides, became the chosen one, and is training to be a master; Zane basically died and rebuilt himself, Cole became a ghost, Nya became the water ninja, and even Kai struggled with power and leadership. All of them became stronger because of these challenges. They went through character development and changed. Jay is the only one who hasn't. He's still very much the same guy he was all the way back in the pilot. Now it's his time to shine. He was even the first ninja we saw in the opening of the previous episode. Anyways, the police have secured the Bounty and all of the ninja's known hideouts. The police commissioner is giving an interview to the public about the ninja, saying that they're the titular public enemy number one. He's hired Ronin to capture them. He does it in return for a clean slate and money. He reminds the commissioner that there's six of them now, and Nya will probably be the toughest one to catch. The police already have Misako in custody, and no one ever saw Wu exit the library. Misako refuses to speak to the police, other than to say that the ninja were framed. She's visited by Nadakhan. He reveals that Clouse and Wu are in the teapot. Misako has heard of the djinn. He can grant wishes for others, but not himself. He tricks her into revealing that the Realm Crystal is in Hiroshi's Labyrinth, by saying that Wu already told him where it was. She wishes that she hadn't said anything in the first place. He traps her in the teapot. Everyone hears her scream. They don't see her or Nadakhan in the interrogation room. They get an update on Kai's location. Nya, in disguise, recognizes the clue in Kai's status update, and heads there to meet up with him and the others. The police were tricked into following a rat that Kai strapped his communication device to. The ninja meet up at the burnt down monastery. Wow. It's been years. It looks amazing. The animation I mean, not the sight of a destroyed building. Zane found security footage of Wu at Domu's library. He was looking at someone, but that's where the footage ends, and no one has seen him since. All they know is that he checked out a book on the teapot. They learn that they're dealing with a djinn. All they know about djinn is that they're sneaky and powerful. Jay wonders if a wish is how Nya falls for him in the future. They decide to head back into town to investigate their new enemy. They decide to travel in pairs: Kai and Nya, Lloyd and Zane, and Cole and Jay. Lloyd and Zane will head to the Domu library, Jay and Cole will head to the crime scene where he framed them, and Kai and Nya will see what else is out there, whatever that means. They agree to meet back at the monastery at sunrise. Lloyd and Zane see the book Wu was reading. Before Zane can tell Lloyd how to defeat a freed djinn, he's hacked into and shut down by Ronin. No one. Touches. My… favorite character! After a pretty cool fight, Lloyd is captured by Ronin. Still he echoes my own thoughts by saying that Ronin will pay for what he did to Zane. In Jamanakai village, Nya unveils two secret motorcycles in case all of their other vehicles were ever taken away or destroyed. She and Kai ride out towards an SOS beacon from Zane. Nadakhan finds where in Hiroshi's Labyrinth the Realm Crystal is kept. He defeats the nindroids without any effort. He has four knives for his four arms. Oh please, like that's anything new. He can teleport. Kai and Nya arrive at the Corridor of Elders. They see that they were tricked by Ronin and ride past him. He chases after them in Rex. He captures them at a dead end, and they're forced to surrender. However, he tricked them with holograms. Are we sure Ronin isn't the true hero of the season, who will defeat Nadakhan all by himself because he's such a sneaky… illegitimate child. Nadakhan tricks the nindroids into leading him to the real crystal, which he takes. At night, Jay and Cole check out the amusement park. Jay uses his powers to look at pictures from the roller coaster ride, and they discover that Nadakhan impersonated them. Djinn are shapeshifters. Ronin reveals himself and says that he's already caught the others. Cole turns invisible, leaving Jay on his own. He apologizes for doing so and wishes him luck. After a fight and a chase, Jay is captured by Ronin. He captures Cole by using his thermal vision gear to see him. Ronin is paid, gains several levels of badassery in my opinion, and the ninja are taken to Kryptarium Prison. Now Ninjago is in danger, with no one to stop Nadakhan from accomplishing his goals, like finding his pirate crew.
