Season 3-Rebooted

“I used to think technology would be the answer to all of our problems. But then I saw technology invent new problems. Devastating problems. And then a Nindroid named Zane saved us all. He was the perfect balance between us and technology. He taught us that life should be a balance. Technology can improve our lives, but so can people. And if we focus on one at the expense of the other, that's when the balance is off. Our city will find its way again, but this time with Zane as our compass.”

— Cyrus Borg to the citizens of Ninjago City, "The Titanium Ninja"

## Official Description

*Victory in the Final Battle between the Golden Ninja and the Overlord has ushered in a new era of peace and begun a technological renaissance. NINJAGO City has been rebuilt into a futuristic wonder and is now completely interconnected. Welcome to New NINJAGO City. The ninja have found there is very little need for their heroics and have become teachers at Wu's Academy. But peace is an illusion…*

## Plot

After the Overlord was defeated by Lloyd, Ninjago City was in complete ruins. However, a man named Cyrus Borg believed that if they worked together, they could achieve anything. In a matter of weeks, Ninjago had been rebuilt into a futuristic metropolis called New Ninjago City.

Without an enemy to fight, the ninja became teachers at Wu's Academy. One day, they received clearance for a field trip to Borg Industries. But upon their arrival, they learn that the Overlord survived the final battle and is trapped in the Digiverse as a virus. Cyrus Borg realizes this and gives the ninja the Techno Blades, which are the keys to destroy the Overlord.

The Overlord uses P.I.X.A.L. (an android who works at Borg Industries) to create an army of Nindroids from Zane's blueprints and plans to capture Lloyd, as his Golden Power will help him escape the digital realm. The hard drive containing the Overlord is later stolen by Pythor, revealed to have survived being eaten by the Great Devourer.

He captures Lloyd, and the Overlord drains him of most of his Golden Power. Though the ninja defeat him in the Digiverse, the Overlord escapes the digital realm half-formed. Lloyd then splits his remaining Golden Power among the four ninja, therefore, restoring their Elemental abilities, knowing that the power would be a big responsibility for him to bear alone.

The Overlord, needing to complete his transformation, sends the Nindroids to space to retrieve the Golden Weapons from the constellation Arcturus, which they succeed in doing. The Overlord becomes the Golden Master, fulfilling an old Serpentine prophecy, and wreaks havoc on New Ninjago City. With no other option, Zane sacrifices himself to destroy the Golden Master. However, he survives, trapped in the Digiverse, and rebuilds himself using titanium.

## Trivia

* As of now,this is the only full season to focus on Zane.
* The collectible items of this season were the Techno Blades.
* This is the only season to have just 8 episodes.
	+ Despite that, it has the same run-time as Prime Empire, Masters of the Mountain and Seabound.
* Ninjago's return was first confirmed on the message boards of LEGO's official website.
* According to Tommy Andreason:
	+ The working title of Rebooted was "The Nindroid Agenda."
	+ During development, the episode number was originally 2, then 4, and then 8. This caused the first two episodes to feel somewhat rushed and left most of the plans for Techno Wu out of the final product. The reason the season was 8 episodes was most likely due to budget.
	+ As a result, Tommy Andreasen views the season as "great but rushed."
	+ Tommy Andreasen stated, "I didn't like the love triangle. But the Hs [Hageman Brothers] did. Live and let live."

## Sets

These sets focused on ninja vehicles and Nindroid vehicles. The final two sets, depicting elements from the second story arc (the last three episodes) were released as a separate wave, the smallest wave of sets to this date.

Zane was the mascot character, the box art depicted New Ninjago City, and the Techno Blades were the collectible items.

This was the first wave of sets to feature the ninja's hair pieces, as the Techno robes had half-masks as opposed to the full head wraps of previous waves.
