Kai Ninjago - Blog Posts
Wu: You’re violent.
Kai: Yeah but I’m short, so it’s adorable.
can you do an analysis on how each ninja fights??
YES!!! btw this isnt just from my head, this is from a person who binged ninjago 50+ times and has been watching it since she was 3. i have watched it enough to come up with an analysis i promise
Cole:
Although he’s decently skilled at it , Cole does not like far ranged combat - its not his strongest suit. Mainly because he doesn't like far ranged weapons. However, when this type of combat is needed, he simply chucks boulders at whoever needs to be taught a lesson.
Cole is definitely the king when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. His strong body structure (awesome muscular build) enables him to throw harder punches, and on top of that he has his super strength that gives every hit he throws an added bonus (enemies really be flying all over the place when this kid fights). You can try to throw a punch at him but it would be like punching a brick wall. Cole is also a very powerful ‘kicker’, and has an excellent defense. Cole uses scythes/war hammers as his default weapons, and could use other weapons such as the ‘morning star'(yk, the big huge weapons with spikes on them, like the chain connected to a huge spiky ball. that would be so cool). Also, he could probably slay with gauntlets. Like cmon. Cole is able to use heavier weapons and hit harder because when it comes to physical strength, he surpasses all the ninja.
However, he is a tad little slow due to his size, but his skull breaking punches make up for it and more. He uses his elemental powers to his advantage, also throwing small but dangerous rocks at his enemies in between his punches, and sometimes finishing them off with a boulder punch ( a punch + a boulder. boulder punch. its super effective). Cole is normally extremely patient but on the battlefield he simply prefers facing enemies head on. He still observes them and make’s sure to know what he’s getting himself into. Not the most analytical in the team, but he certainly isn't lacking much in that department.
He works the best with all ninja, but especially well with Kai and Jay, since they compensate for his ‘slower’ attacks. Also, yk the small and tall fighting methods... (big uses hands and throws small in the air, small jumps of off big’s back, etc ) gotta love em. With jay, he’s more on defense to keep jay’s back covered. When cole is fighting with kai its like Cole trying to minimize a feral cats damage while also trying to maximize the feral cats damage ( hint: kai is the feral cat).
Nya:
Nya is the Queen when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. She also has a strong body structure, similar to Cole, and so she also throws some nasty punches. Although she doesn’t have super strength like Cole, to make up for it she fights in smooth yet harsh motions, using water to disrupt the enemies movements/slow them down so she can pinpoint their weak areas and break their noses. She is the queen after all.
Her default weapon is a spear, bc she likes to use pole-like weapons. Pole-like weapons such as spears and lances allow Nya to thrust forward with them, and have a long distance they can cover without having to actually stand far, unlike far-ranged weapons. This goes well with her water powers as water hits harder with increased pressure and is able to take any form. Nya could probably work well with whips too, or like form water whips. That would be cool.
She doesn’t like far ranged combat simply because its ‘boring’ for her.
Nya is a little faster than Cole, but she still isn't the fastest (more about that below). She tends to analyze enemies before attacking, or analyze them while attacking. Either works! She also tends to outsmart her enemies by appearing weaker than she looks, or looking at their fighting style and then adapting a counter-style (water is adaptable, after all).
Nya also works well with all the ninja. However she works best with Kai, Jay, and Zane. With Kai and Jay its also the small-tall method (Nya’s taller than both). With Jay and Zane she has elemental reactions, since water and lighting are more effective together (shock shock shock + more shocks) also they have chemistry + nya helps zane freeze at larger capacities, also both are super smart and are good at strategies. With kai, nya just works well . yk. reading eachother with simple glances. when together enemies being devoured within seconds. destroying whoever hurt the other. fun!
Jay:
Jay is not the best at hand to hand combat, but as a ninja he is obviously still not someone to be taken lightly. He cant throw hard punches, but he can throw fast punches. Lightning is not a slow force, after all! Jay may not be excelling in physical strength but he is arguably the fastest ninja.
His size also gives him an advantage, since he’s not heavy or tall, he’s able to double his speed and rapidly attack his enemies. He tends to tire out his enemies first, using speed and swiftly strikes them with lightning to take them down. You think he’s teleporting? Nah he’s just hella fast dude
Jay isn't very ‘analytical’ but does very well with limited materials; he can invent/create something that can get them out of any sticky situation, not quite perfect yet very effective! This is a skill that is unique to him, as he invents best with scarce materials.
Jays' default weapon is nun chucks. He doesn't really like any other weapons. He loves metal nun chucks because remember, metal conducts electricity. He can simply use them as a weapon, and then use his powers and so the whoever he hits the nun chuck weapon with ( or any metal weapon really) would get a hard electric shock. Ouch. He would also do really well with Chakrams (if ur too lazy to google it, they are circular weapons- kinda like circular boomerangs with sharp edges. ). Doesn't mind far range combat, and isn't bad at it either. He has no preference, as long as he gets to work with nya LOL
Jay works well with all ninja, especially with nya (reasons stated above) and works well with cole (also stated above).
Zane:
Zane is good in hand-to-hand combat, and his punches hurt quite a lot ( he has metal hands, after all). He would be ranked second when it comes to hard punches, very close after Cole and Nya. His body structure... is... well... metal.
His defense is the best out of all the ninja mainly because who would wanna punch a tin can (its certainly do able, but boy it hurts). Zane tends to do 100% analytical fighting, he estimates the enemies moves and studies how they fight. He is the most analytical fighter.
His moves are careful and calculated. He takes the next course of action based on statistics. However, this sometimes does not work when it comes to ambushes, or unexpected fights as there is no time to observe or estimate. That’s all right though, because Zane isn't entirely dependent on this, as he does have his powers to slow/freeze enemies down.
You wanna know how many enemies are left? Ask Zane, he can scan the area. You wanna know an enemies weak point? Dw, Zane can scan it for you. Thanks Zane!!!
Zane excels in mid/far ranged combat- he’s the best ninja for the job. His default weapons are shuriken's and bows, after all. He has the patience for it, and has excellent aim. If the ninja had guns, he would be a dangerous sniper.
Zane works well with every ninja, but has an advantage working with Nya (as stated before) and Pixal
Kai:
Kai is similar to Jay when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. He can throw punches, but cannot throw hard punches (he was trained to be a blacksmith though, so I’d say he’s a little behind zane). But he is extremely fast, closely second to only Jay. His biggest advantage in hand-to-hand combat is agility. Kai is the most agile ninja, and his immense flexibility (he is also most flexible) gives him an upper hand in many situations. He also has the best reflexes ; his nimble moves make him a hard target. You wont see a ninja ur gonna see a gymnast. A gym-ja.
Zane and Nya are the best logical planners, but logical plans need time and observation. Kai excels the most when faced with ambushes or fast-paced situations ; he’s always on his toes and his impulsivity becomes beneficial, since he takes quick action and takes advantage of chances that the other’s would never have noticed. He’s also as astute as Nya and Zane, just in a less logical, and in a more of a crafty way. He isn’t a patient fighter though, so he sometimes gets himself into... situations.
His default weapons are sword/katanas, and he uses them as an extension of himself; the best swordsman on the team. What’s that? You want kai to do far-ranged combat? Bestie, for kai, far ranged combat is just throwing fireballs from a distance. You might as well throw bombs at ur enemies. Kai doesn't do well with far-ranged weaponry. If Kai had short ranged-pistols, like one on each hand (like Jinx from Arcane or Kiana from Honkai Impact) he would also reign supreme.
Kai works well with all ninja, especially with Nya (stated above) , Cole (also stated above) , and Lloyd (lloyd works really well with every ninja, but he has patience and he helps kai think things through).
thats it for now! i’ll reblog and include lloyd in this after part two of s16 comes out, bc i wanna add his “oni-style”
I think the reason why I love Kai and Nyas dynamic so much is because of three reasons
1) I’m a sucker for any sibling dynamic
2) the entire fact that their childhood consisted of only each other + they know each other so well; probably better than they know themselves and I could go on and on and on about how 10000 different reasons why Kai and nya ( +Lloyd!) have the best dynamic in the entire show and that’s why this same show GATEKEEPS THEIR MOMENTS LIKE BRO. GIVE US KAI AND NYA HUGS/MOMENTS/THINGS/TALKS/EVERYTHING IN S16 TO MAKE UP FOR SEABOUND.
3) their elements
I believe that out of all the elements in Ninjago ( or in any other show, or LITERALLY just nature itself ) fire and water are the most unique because of one reason: they are the elements that are embedded with the convergence of opposites. creation, and destruction. life, and death. light, and darkness. for example:
Water provides shelter for sea creatures. Water keeps us hydrated, nourished. Water can provide us with energy (dams). Yet, water causes floods and tsunamis. Water can cause you to drown. Water takes lives.
Without the sun we would die. The sun helps plants grow and protects us from the cold and is the source of all our food. Fire burns down forests and destroys homes. Fire inflicts pain and burns on human beings. Fire turns anything in its way to ashes. Fire takes lives.
See? good and bad, bad and good. And the fact that both their elements hold these concepts is such an amazing thing to me because that just seals the wholesomeness of their dynamic even more.
SHORT KAI HCS/SMITH TRIO HCS
—-Kai visibly Looks shorter than the rest of the ninja however he looks taller than Jay only because of his hair gel but in reality he and Jay are the same exact height
—-I said this before and I will say it again to reach kitchen cabinets or any high place kai either does one of two things :
1) airjitzu’s and sets the entire place on fire 2) becomes an Olympic gold metal gymnast
THERE IS NO INBETWEEN
—- Kai doesn’t get bothered much that cole and Zane are taller then him bc they are older… but the fact that his YOUNGER SIBLINGS are taller than him keeps him awake at night..
—-sometimes when nya or lloyd wake up in the middle of the night, scared and shaking, they go to the same person they’ve been going to all their life for nightmares: Kai
—-kai influenced/helped Lloyd a lot. And I mean a LOT, just as much as he helped nya. hair care routine? yeha kai showed Lloyd. how to deal with panic attacks? kai helps him breathe, and taught him how to handle it in case Lloyd is ever alone. Also someone else also said this btw but Lloyd’s weapon is a sword gee I wonder why
—-KAI IS THE FASHIONISTA SIBLING I REPEAT HE IS FASHIONISTA SIBLING-
nya: Kai if I was in your shoes
Kai: first of all my shoes are pieces of art second of all you shouldn’t even be in those shoes good lord we need to go shoe shopping I can’t have my dear sister walking around like that
—-guess who’s holding all the shopping bags when the trio goes shopping! Ur right it is nya and lloyd
“kai please stop we don’t need more clothes”
“lloyd, life is a runaway what do you mean we don’t need more clothes”
“kai that’s it we are going home if I have to carry one more bag-”
—--nya and Lloyd can’t hide crap from kai he just knows
Lloyd, thinking: I hate myself
“hey Lloyd u okay buddy??”
“YEAH!!”
Kai brother instinct triggered
Kai pulls out weapon: abominable hug
weapon was effective lloyd is feeling better
—-kai is a good liar/actor to most people except nya girl sees right through his facade
nya, “hey kai everything okay?”
Kai,” yeah don’t worry everything’s fine!”
nya gently hugs kai and Kai has an emotional breakdown: a sequel
—-kai,”how’s the weather up there”
nya and Lloyd,” we weren’t aware garden gnomes could talk”
—- when any one of them is sick the remaining two know exactly what to do.
Nya is sick? Give her some soup ! Give her some space! She’s independent and isn’t a fan of being taken care of (lloyd respects that!) but yk kai….Kid isn’t scared of nyas rages 💪
Lloyd is sick? give him some soup! make him laugh! hug him! Thankfully he’s smart enough to stay in bed and recover because he knows if he does that the recovery process will be faster! the real question is if kai knows that…
Kai is sick? Code red full lockdown bro is gonna go try and discover a new species while burning at a high temperature. um kai isn’t scared of nyas rages but when she yells at him for not resting while sick she’s like ten times more scarier someone save the poor boy oh look savior lloyd has arrived oh wait nope false alarm he’s yelling at Kai too
—-they all casually share hoodies, graphic tees, etc. but for Kai it looks little too big.. um…. don’t tell him that though…..
—--if things are too overwhelming for Kai he goes to nya and Lloyd. everything seems to melt away when they look up and smile at him
—-don’t insult nya or Lloyd in front of Kai or Kai’s gonna do a full sailor moon transformation and then into a VICIOUS garden gnome.
—-whenever nya’s inventions/ideas don’t work out, she gets angry and frustrated at herself due to her perfectionist nature. Kai always manages to make her feel better
“hey don’t worry nya, you have wonderful ideas and such a smart brain! you created so many things and I couldn’t have been more proud. how about we go eat a snack and then you can come finish this project later! I’ll even help!
—-Kai is really good with ‘feminine’ stuff like sewing (he probably used to stitch up ripped clothes when him and nya were kids) and hair. he knows 7384377348 different hairstyles and does nya’s hair whenever he can. he also tried to teach Lloyd but the poor kid became jumble of confusion. he managed to teach him braids though!!!
you think this is it? naw shawty I’ve got part two coming out soon.
i’ve always loved the idea of nya and lloyd being the younger siblings but being way taller than kai
EXACTLY!!!!!
small but angry/protective characters?? like yes pls
its mainly kai becoming a gold star gymnast to get to the highest cabinet that makes me love the whole 'he's shorter than his younger siblings"
also short people are so UNPREDICTABLE because they can be hell itself or literally become cats and cuddle with you i would know i am short i have experience
+ nya def uses him for workouts.
++ lloyd and nya gang up on him and bully him for it
+++ lloyd and nya beat tf out of anyone else who bullies him for it
you all talk about buff-nya and not-buff-kai and I love that to death but let’s also talk about short kai and nya/ Lloyd being TALLER than him
because like imagine nya AND Lloyd being taller than him it would be so funny guys like kai would never forgive them for being taller and he’s def on the shorter side.. maybe even the shortest.. shhh…
nya grabbing things kai can’t reach? Ok it’s fine she’s nya she’s more buff than kai anyways she probably picks him up for workouts but LLOYD grabbing things kai can’t reach?? THE SAME KID WHO WAS LIKE NINE YEARS OLD LIKE BRO 😭😭😭 also THE OVER PROTECTIVENESS LIKE
anyone: the green ninja and that girl ninja suck
kai: take that back right now *fuming*
anyone: *has to look down at kai bc he doesn’t meet the eye level since he is short* someone get this angry gremlin a happy meal
AND like the ‘oh your so small where do you have all the space to keep that sass’ jokes 🥺🥺 SMALL AND SASSY … and…
no one:
kai: climbing cabinets and doing gymnastics on countertops to get to the ultimate boss cabinet aka the highest cabinet
nya or Lloyd: do you need-
kai: *airjitzu’s to the top of cabinet and probably sets something on fire* NO.
ALSO if any ninja is feeling cold it’s okay because kai fits perfectly in their arms and he’s a heating pad
HI IM HERE TO REMIND YOU OF THIS SCENE:
Kai and cole look at each other with determined as hell looks , and come to a conclusion.
now, let me remind you this isn’t just any simple conclusion. it’s a conclusion to sacrifice themselves for a mission on a crazy video game land they don’t even know will work
there are two ways trust is working here behind the scenes:
1: the trust between kai and cole
2: and the trust they have in the team
now the first one is so much more significant because
1)all the ninja had sacrificed themselves and trusted the team so the second way isn’t unique. every ninja has immense trust in their team and it’s shown throughout each of their important sacrifices
2) the first one reason, that’s what made this scene more unique then some other scenes (i am NOT saying more important, just more UNIQUE. unique does not mean something is better than the other. It just means there were different circumstances. don’t attack me) since it shows two characters simply nodding and having the same goal, the exact same strategy/idea in mind because remember kai and cole proceeded with their actions and it was like the other knew exactly what the other was going to do from which car the other would bring down to where they planned to explode/crash.
it also shows the amount, the IMMENSE AMOUNT of belief/trust kai and cole have in EACHOTHER. I mean, they didn’t even need to say anything. they just know. this is the main reason why I loved this scene SO much: it was a non-communicated-just-one- look sacrifice that was executed perfectly.
yes ❤️❤️
and no I don’t know how many posts/reblogs I will make about kai and nya maybe I’ll stop when ninjago stops gatekeeping them
remember when they had couples suits 🥺
ok so after the part two trailer it’s clear Lloyd isn’t gonna turn mindlessly evil but I still want all of the sibling content mentioned above pls 🥺 also can’t wait for the garmadon and Lloyd content!!
warning spoilers ahead ( kinda)
we love ninjago. and I’m posting bc this needs to be brought to attention: NINJAGO, WE NEED MORE SIBLING CONTENT. romance? it’s good, I SWEAR I don’t have ANYTHING against jaya. but sibling relationships? Kai and nya? we need more.
hear me out: so many people are saying our poor traumatized green ninja that we all know and love is going to turn evil and lose it. valid theory, and quite understandable, and would make the remaining of season 16 quite interesting.I would LOVE another morro- like season, with Kai doing anything and everything he possibly can to bring back his little brother. If that happens, I want a scene. A scene where Kai is upset and nya comforts him, asks him what’s wrong. kai being kai blames himself for Lloyd turning evil, and suffocating himself in self hatred. Telling her it’s happening all over again ( like how he lost nya before, etc) I want kai to get UPSET and tell her he is sick of losing people, not being able to protect them. I want nya to comfort him like he always comforted her.
And if the whole lloyd-turns-evil thing never happens, then I STILL just want an episode ( another time twin-like season would be awesome tbh) just dedicated to them, for Kai to tell her how he felt when losing her to the ocean, how bad of a brother he felt and that he failed to keep his promise of protecting her.I want to see scenes of kai dealing with grief and why he even started teaching martial arts.
I want ninjago to stop just showing nya and jays bond. I want ninjago to show that the importance of kai and nyas bond is just as important, or even more so. I want nya to realize how much kai did and still does for her, and that the only reason kai even joined the ninja was to save HER. ( we really need to talk abt this more ). I want nya to realize what boundaries kai crossed to keep her safe. I want more scenes of their childhood that show Kai’s sacrifices and nyas upbringing. I want nya to realize all of this and thank kai and hug him and tell him she loves him.
I want her to tell him that he is the best older brother anyone could ever ask for. i mean seriously; nya seemed only worried about jay when the ninja were in court. WE DIDNT EVEN GET A SIBLING HUG WHEN NYA CAME BACK. IN CONCLUSION: WE WANT MORE KAI AND NYA.
guys this is it. THIS is IT. we got a second chance I repeat a second chance
nya falls alongside a burning part of the bounty (crystallized trailer two)
how will Kai react what is he gonna do?? this is where the writers CANNOT mess up like they did in seabound (we didn’t get to see the real extent to how Kai grieved and we didn’t get a SIBLING HUG/MOMENTS) this is where we smith sibling gangs will rise up and SHINE i am manifesting our epic sibling hug and epic sibling moments I want to see angst and bonding and finally everything will be perfect this will solve all my problems that have nothing to do with ninjago but can definitely be fixed by ninjago
every birthday until kai was however years old and became a big brother he had the same birthday wish and that was having a sibling and when maya was pregnant with nya I will bet you my soul that kai was the happiest kid you’d ever meet and that’s why he was so excited when nya was born and held her like she was his everything and you can’t change my mind
boys <
older brothers who love/protect, would die for and would burn down the world for their younger sibling(s)>>>>
and of course…
dear diluc i know you’d die for kaeya pls fix ur past booboos with him
just watched trailer two of crystallized and don’t get me wrong it seemed AWESOME but we barely saw Kai in it (basically no shots of him at all we got like one GLIMPSE) so who’s gonna read kai centered fics and cry with me
:( praying for some good kai content + nya and kai sibling moments to magically appear because I have been DEPRIVED of BOTH (mainly sibling content bc we all know sibling dynamic is the best period)
hi are you feeling sad today let me cheer you up
just remember kai and nya exist and I promise everything is going to be okay
bonus happy points if you remember kai and lloyd’s big brother and little brother dynamic
warning spoilers ahead ( kinda)

Ninjago Ship Thoughts
First and foremost I’m gonna tell you my head-canons for the ninjas sexualities since it’s probably gonna affect my thoughts on the ships.
Cole - Gay - the entire “dad I’m a ninja” is so fucking queercoded so that’s my reasoning.
Kai - Bi - this man primarily flirts with women but he gives strong bisexual energy and I stand by that.
Zane - Pan - I don’t feel like Zane has a strong enough grasp on gender for it to affect who he dates.
Jay - Omni - I feel like he has a preference for women but I feel in my soul that he’s at least had a crush on a guy before.
Nya - Bi - I don’t know if she’s ever had a crush on a girl but a girl has definitely had a crush on her and she would not be opposed to dating a girl.
Pixal - Pan - I feel like she has a better grasp of gender than Zane but gender doesn’t affect who she likes.
All other characters are up in the air for me. I lean towards seeing lloyd as aroace but I’m not certain. Anyway I’m with my thoughts. (These are in no particular order)
(Jaya) Jay/Nya - let’s start with a canon ship! I like how this relationship is portrayed in later seasons and they have some cute moments earlier in the series, but I definitely like there relationship post Nadakhan the best (I’ve butchered the genies name I know it) Jaya is sweet and I’m happy that Nya was given strong characterizations outside of her relationship with men overall I’d say this is a solid 8/10.
(Pixane) - Zane/Pixal - I love this ship so much, she has half his fucking heart and there both so great. Zane and Pixar are both fully independent who love each other and there so cute. I think one appeal of this ship for me is that I can see the both as romantic or platonic partners because they both mean so much to the other. Anyway love this ship 9.6/10
(Kailor) - Kai/Skylor - I love Skylor she’s super cool but this pair really only interacts once and awhile to briefly flirt before they just go there separate ways. Obviously both of them are busy so it makes sense that they don’t get a lot of time together. Kai definitely had a crush on Skylor and I think Skylor reciprocated those feelings. There cut and interesting but don’t have as much development as they need for me to be compelled to be invested. Solid 6.5/10.
(Llorumi) - Lloyd/Harumi - these two have a fascinating dynamic that I think is really fun to watch but I cannot see them as romantic partners. I know some people see them as siblings and I really don’t see them that way. And again there really interesting as a duo and while I want the pair to heal and improve there relationship I don’t really want them to date. Overall 5/10 cool duo don’t see them as romantic.
(Lloykita) - Lloyd/Akita - It’s pretty cute, I love Akita so I do hope we see her again. There relationship feels like a summer relationship they have this brief sweet period of time together and they leave on good terms unsure if they’ll ever meet again or if the other will still have feelings if they do meet again. I also really like the idea of these to being together in a queer platonic way. It’s really cute and I love both of the characters individually so it’s a pretty solid ship in my opinion. 8/10 it’s sweet.
(Conia) - Cole/Vania - it feels like a lesbian and a gay man being best friends. I love these two I think there great friends and could even see them being platonic partners but like I don’t see them doing more than that. Solid 5/10 cool pair don’t see it as romantic.
(Lava) - Cole/Kai - There so cool and I think this ship is really fun. I think that these two are both really great characters who mesh well I can totally see them dating and think it’s a really cute ship. These two are bonding over there weird ass family lives and crippling self doubt! These two are a cute pair 9/10
(Bruise) - Jay/Cole - these two are so silly and honestly this is a cute ship. I think Cole was definetley involved in Jays realization that he wasn’t straight. I think this is a cute ship but not one I have super strong feelings on 7/10
(Mudshock) - Jay/Cole/Nya - the best solution for a love triangle is polyamory. That said I wasn’t a big fan of the love triangle but in Ninjago since Cole didn’t actually seem interested in Nya, and Nya only was interested in Cole cause a matchmaking system said so. These three are definitely great friends who joke about the love triangle and hang out but I don’t know that it’s my favorite ship. 6.7/10 Cute but not great.
(Polyninja) - Jay/Cole/Kai/Zane - I think this is probably one of the greatest things I have ever seen. All of these characters are so close and care for each other so much. Together they can help each other grow and thrive. It’s really an awesome ship solid 10/10
There are lots of other ships I will talk about but I’m supposed to be doing my summer class final so I’ve gotta go try to be responsible. Anyway have a good day/night I love seeing comments so say hi if you’d like to :D
Ninjago Dragosn rising spoilers!
I’ve stated I love this season, I enjoyed it a lot. It was fun, humorous, and filled with interesting characters! The main charters Arin and Sora are really great I feel like they did a good job establishing them as characters and can’t wait to see more.
Lloyd was great! He’s one of my favorite characters and seeing him serve as a mentor was fun. I love that he got some source dragon powers, and I’m super excited for more world-building.
I love Arin. He’s hopeful, energetic, and determined, he’s interesting to watch and has a lot of potential to grow. I love how he learned spinjitsu and hope he isn’t revealed to be an elemental master. I would be ok with him becoming one via some external means but I really like the idea of this kid just learning spinjitsu through pure determination.
Sora was awesome. Also she feels trans coded with the whole changing her name and having to run from home. Her technological prowess is fun, and I’m really I trested to see more of her elemental power. Her backstory was interesting and she served as an interesting contrast to Arin in terms of how they expirenced the merger.
Kai and Nya. They weren’t there for long and while I do hope we eventually get a Kai focused arc I still found his interactions to be fun. Nya was awesome I was glad to see her and enjoyed that she has yet again found herself being a champion. I love RBG siblings and was happy that we had quite a few interactions between the trio.
The world-building was interesting and I’m hoping the merger means we’ll at least get to see Akita, and maybe some ghosts.
I enjoyed the story and am really curious to see what happens next!
bunch of headcanons under the cut <3
COLE J. BROOKSTONE
Cole Jurian Brookstone
Trans, gay
Lilly Brookstone
Lou Hence
Is secretly Wu's favorite (I don't make the rules)
After becoming human again, Cole was able to see (specifically out of his left eye) and hear ghosts ; sometimes he accidentally ignores his friends thinking they're the local ghost milkman
His sclera is greener since being a ghost
Water lowkey hurts; has to Cole MacGrath his bathing habits
After using the Spinjitzu Burst, the scars on his arms became permanent
Has a second mentor in Yang; dabbles a bit in dark magic and still uses airjitzu; isn’t negatively affected by it due to his time as a ghost
Becomes Arin's second semi-mentor following the kid's interest in utilizing Shatterspin (i haven’t seen s2pt2 yet)
Should he die of any unnatural reason, he will become a ghost and can (hopefully) restore his physical body
Scars easier
Following the events of Way of the Departed, the scar on his face spread to his chest; it also turned orange
(50/50) After March of the Oni, Cole became a living Realm Crystal as he had close contact with the Rift of Return (and Way of the Departed stuff) and the previous Realm Crystal was destroyed (with heavy restrictions, of course- can't make him too OP); he forgets he can do it half the time as it's not something he's particularly happy about
Oftentimes visits his dad to make up for lost time
Purposefully makes himself seem like a bad singer and (especially) dancer; he's actually pretty decent (y'all ever seen Falling For Ya from Teen Beach Movie? he would rock the shit out of that)
At some point, he moves to Shintaro to settle down
Owns two Maine Coons and a Great Dane back home
Beginning with Cole's grandfather, a curse of incurable via modern medicine sickness plagued his family- there is a cure (it won't affect the next generation), but all the ingredients are scattered across the realms - (explained better, modern illness that just simply is incurable with modern medicine- got the flu because of the curse? tough luck; medicine won't help)
His room in the Monastery is covered in paintings- he even has his own storage full of them
Naturally good with kids (this one is canon but I want to remind everyone of it)
A lot of his close friends are women- after Jay, Seliel is his bestie
He has an everlasting lily flower on his dresser; it shines in the sunlight; it makes him feel a mother's love and safety
Has a tendency to try to solve problems on his own (I.E., Way of the Departed); hides things about himself from the others (I.E., seeing ghosts and being a Realm Crystal)
Has a single fang from being a ghost
Heavyweight (alcohol)
Colorblind (deuteranopia) (after becoming a ghost, it shifts more to where he sees more green than red (is that how deuteranopia works i don't know the specifics of colorblindness :c )
Spends Day of the Departed with his dad, but visits his mom in the last hour
Favorite flowers are lilies
JAY C. WALKER
Jason "Jay" Collin Walker / Jason "Jay" Arc Gordon
Bisexual
Edna Walker (Maiden: Hoffman) / Libber "Libby" Gordon (Maiden: Primmer)
Ed Walker / Cliff Gordon
His blood is a better conductor than water
Lightning scars on the right side of his body; scar from Nadakhan on his left eye
Partially blind in the left eye
He will forever have that eyebrow notch- I will die on this hill
Always wears his ring as even if it breaks or he loses it, he can use his lightning to fix/retrieve it (I am a bruiseshipper; therefore, you guess who he's married to)
After Prime Empire, he's able to transport himself into video games (he cheats in games a lot because the other ninja refuse to attack him since it'd actually hurt him; after a particular streak of cheating the ninja opted for board games only for a period of time [a whole year])
He can travel through electrical currents as long as there is an opening- if there's rubber or any good insulator, he can't enter or leave the current (they have slightly cut open the wires in the Monastery for this reason)
Some remnants of the time he was snake are still present- he sheds skin and like to prank the others with it; has fangs and a slight venomous bite (if he so chooses, which he rarely does; does the amount of damage as coming down with a perpetual cold); tongue is slightly forked; lisps a little leading up to the shedding period
ZANE JULIEN
Zane Julien
Straight, demi/greysexual
Victor Julien
In the early days, Zane's ice powers would get clogged in his arms when used; later, in his titanium body, small heaters and proper water disposals were installed
Bleeds oil
Found and fixed the falcon- they have a connection; should something happen to Zane, he will automatically switch his conscious over to the Falcon- his eyes in the skies
Spends Day of the Departed in Birchwood Forest, meditating in his old home
Likes lighting incense sticks and candles- the Monastery always smells nice
When "sleeping" he reads himself bedtime stories in his head
His room is the coldest in the Monastery,
Birchwood Forest is essentially Zane's turf- he takes PIxal on dates there, including ice skating
LLOYD MONTGOMERY-GARMADON
Lloyd Montgomery-Garmadon
Bisexual. demiboy, asexual
Misako Montgomery-Garmadon
Garmadon
His middle name is actually a second last name (he normally just goes by Lloyd Garmadon)
Following March of the Oni, black marks appeared on Lloyd's cheeks to show parts of his Oni heritage; they grow when he uses his Oni powers, revert when back to normal
After Crystalized, horns (oni form!) will grow on his head when he gets angry/powered up (like Charlie from Hazbin Hotel!)
After Crystalized, he has a Dragon tail
Has wings post Crystlized; doesn't know how to use them and is too scared to try
Has sharper teeth via Dragon and Oni blood
Eyes used to be red, but are now green following his true potential (return to [dark] red in the moments in the show where his eyes are black)
Blood is red normally, purple when oni powers are in use, gold when dragon powers are in use
KAI P. SMITH
Kai Phoenix Smith
Pansexual
Maya Smith
Ray Smith (Maiden: Stoker)
Fire does not bother him; he can walk through it and be just fine
Pierced his own ears (he was thirteen)
Is actually the most emotionally intelligent when his ego and hot-headedness isn't getting in the way
Blood literally boils when exposed to oxygen
Can grab and eat things straight out of the oven; spicy? never heard of it- he can pop ghost peppers like it's nothing
Lightweight (alcohol)
Arms are very burned up due to having being completely unrestrained with his powers in the early days- has to bathe carefully to not disturb the burns; he is extremely insecure about this and is very strict with Wyldfyre

Blood is thinner than water
