Elemental Masters

Elemental Masters are warriors who have mastered the many elements (though one person can only master one element) in the island of Ninjago. Before the birth of his sons, the First Spinjitzu Master shared his power with a number of individuals who became the first Elemental Masters and the First Spinjitzu Master's guardians. Their powers have been passed down for over a hundred generations, so they could continue to be used to protect Ninjago from all evil forces.

During the First Serpentine War, the Elemental Masters of the era allied to protect the citizens from the Serpentine and formed Elemental Alliance. However, thanks to Chen's careful manipulation, they became divided and were scattered across the world for years. Ironically, it was Chen's Tournament of Elements that brought their descendants together to form a new Elemental Alliance against the threat of the Anacondrai Cultists.

When Clouse freed Nadakhan from the Teapot of Tyrahn, the deceptive Djinn sought revenge on the ninja for the destruction of his home realm. Using the Djinn Blade, Nadakhan imprisoned all the Elemental Masters in the weapon, except Jay, Nya, and Skylor, who fought against the Sky Pirates. Jay eventually made his final wish, which reversed all the recent events, causing the Elemental Masters to be freed from the Sword of Souls.

After the Fall of Ninjago, most of the Elemental Masters from the Tournament of Elements returned to help fight the Sons of Garmadon and Garmadon himself by joining Lloyd and Nya's Resistance to save Ninjago City.

After the Merge, a new generation of Elemental Masters came to existence, with new elemental powers being created and elements that didn't have any users finding new hosts.

## Trivia

* All of the Elemental Masters who debuted in Tournament of Elements have been released in sets (not including the previous generation of Elemental Masters). Tox and Mr. Pale had already been released in *Ultra Agents* sets; Karlof, Griffin Turner, and Skylor were released in the Tournament of Elements wave in 2015; Shade and Ash were released in a 2017 battle pack; Neuro was released in a Toys R Us exclusive minifigure pack in 2017; Bolobo, Gravis, and Jacob Pevsner were released in a Ninjago: Legacy set; and Chamille was released in a Ninjago: Dragons Rising set. She was supposed to be included in the aforementioned Legacy set, but production issues led to her being omitted. Along with Jacob, Chamille is one of two Elemental Masters Tommy Andreasen said he would like to see made into minifigures.
	+ The only Elemental Masters who returned in Hunted were those who had physical minifigures at the time, apart from Ash. While it was explained Bolobo was a captive and Chamille became "bad", it is unknown where Jacob, Gravis, and Ash were.
* Scrapped Elemental Masters include the Masters of Magnetism, Crystal, and Sight, with the Master of Crystal being called "Gazor". Water and Time were both considered for Tournament of Elements but were not used until later.
* A dull gold-colored dragon appears in a flashback in "Spellbound," being ridden by an unidentified Elemental Master. The dragon's appearance strongly resembles that of the Gravity Dragon, yet its rider is not the Elemental Master of Gravity, who was also around in that time period. The color of the dragon resembles the Mind Dragon.
* Acronix and Krux are the only Elemental Masters who had their powers stolen permanently and are the only two with the same elemental power.
* Elemental Masters likely age differently than normal humans. This can be observed with former Masters Ray, Maya, and Krux. Ray and Maya appear relatively young due to having their powers for a long time before losing them after the births of their children. Krux was stripped of his powers over forty years ago, rendering him a normal human, and thus he is an old man in the present.
* Sometimes, elemental masters refer to each other by their elements rather than their names. This is seen in "Lost in Time" when the Master of Ice and Jay's mother refer to each other as "Ice" and "Lightning" and when Acronix refers to Kai and Nya (thinking they are Ray and Maya) as "Fire and Water".
* Zane, Morro, Geo, and Nyad are the only known non-human Elemental Masters, though in Morro's case he was originally human but kept his powers after he was banished to the Cursed Realm.
* Elemental essence users like the First Spinjitzu Master, Garmadon, Wu, Lloyd, and the Overlord, are all either entirely or partly non-human.
	+ Skylor, a human, nearly died attempting to use Garmadon's Destruction through her Amber. Objects imbued with a high enough amount of Golden Power/Creation are well known to be fatal to the touch of any mortal who attempts to hold them.
