Spinjitzu Brothers = Garmadon/Wu
Named such since Garmadon and Wu are the sons of the First Spinjizu Master, thus they are bothers and Spinjizu is used as a surname for them, in this instance.

So I just thought of something:
What if the Imperium - led by Empress Beatrix - was already planning to conquer Ninjago before the Merge? And what if the mysterious disappearances of Zane, Jay, Cole and Wu is a part of that conquest plan?
Maybe Beatrix and the Imperium were watching from the shadows while multiple villains tried to conquer/destroy Ninjago and determined that the Ninja and Spinjizu Brothers were going to be the primary threats to their plans. So when the time comes they kidnap Cole, Zane, Jay, and Wu (maybe even Garmadon).
Additionally, I feel like the Imperium would kidnap others that could prove to be a major thorn in their side. For example, the Serpentine Generals (Skales, Skalidor, Fangtom, Acidicus); the members of the defunct Crystal Council (Pythor, Aspheera, Vangelis, the Mechanic, and Harumi); and some powerful leaders (Benthomaar, Ulysses Trustworthy, and Vania).
These plans were tweaked after the Merge and the appearance of Raz, who offered Beatrix the chance to join him and steal the power of the Dragons to reshape the new merged world in their image.
That's a VERY cool theory, but honestly I was thinking Imperium came after the Merge. My thoughts were like "okay so, the Merge happens and all these people are confused and displaced and blah blah blah. What if Beatrix took advantage of this and collected people from these different merged realms to help grow her army and expand her control?"
I kinda think it's like, Ras is actually below Beatrix, not equals, but he's very loyal to her, which is why he takes his job so seriously. Maybe she saved him from something?

Pokéninjago: Wu
Heyy! It’s time for another character introduction! I’m sorry I can’t hide the text under a cut this time since my Tumblr theme won’t show under-cuts for some reason. So yeah, this will mess up your dash a bit, but i hope you won’t mind.
Next one will be eevee!Lloyds after I finish his picture and write the info down. The previous character info can be found from the “character page”, or more specifically, Kai and Nya’s [here] (s1 info and childhood story) [here] (Kai’s basic info) and [here] (Nya’s basic info), Cole’s [here] (s1 info and childhood story) and [here] (basic info), Jay’s [here] (s1 info etc.) and [here] (basics) aand Zane’s [here] (etc etc.) and [here] (y’know). I’ll open Wu’s character page soon I guess.
So, let’s get to the point.
Full name: Wu
(Yeah, long name, I know.)
Wu is yet taller than his students. Cole will overgrow him very soon, though. When they all are full-grown, Kai will be about the same size as his sensei, Cole and Nya will be taller and Zane and Jay a bit shorter than him. Even normal weight and average shaped Espeons are usually quite slim, but Wu is remarkably skinny. Withered, one might say. He appears to be around his 60s, but as the second child of the First Spinjizu Master, he is much much older. He has lived for centuries, but his childhood took over one third of his life, his teens about a third, and now he has been an adult for a few decades. He is still in good shape and beats villains at least as swiftly as his students. He is an old time’s advanced Pokémon, which means his body isn’t as much human-like as present day’s Pokémon’s. His legs will never fully develop into humanoid shape and he will be a digitigrade forever. He is right-handed.
Wu is calm and rather solemn. He takes his role as the balance keeper seriously. Years have given him wisdom, but he has always been wise at heart. When he was younger, he used to be blue-eyed and the most tender-hearted child on the whole Ninjago Island. Long life has shown him how cold, cruel, and unfair the world can be, and he has grown a slightly cynical and bitter old man. Yet he gives his all to protect everything that’s still good and innocent in the world he promised to protect, and he hasn’t lost his hope and faith in benevolence. He also has a sense of humor still hiding inside of him. Spending time with his new students slowly brings out this joyfulness and sometimes he eventually acts as if he was one of the youth and takes part in joking and even playing with them.
I try to gather some basics of espeon!Wu here, but since his past and abilities are tightly bounded to his brother Garmadon, I’ll have to do a separate post where I tell more about them. After all, they are like night and day, the two sides of the same coin.
Wu is able to use strong magic, even if he isn’t a real elemental master to the letter. This is exceptional, since sophisticated Pokémon have almost lost their ability to use magic. Wu has inherited his powers from his father, even though he isn’t half as strong as the FSM used to be. Wu’s power is bound to the sun. He is stronger during the day and especially if the sun shines freely. Espeon!Wu’s element could be called as sun, since weirder elements have been presented in the canon Ninjago. In ninjago.wikia his “element” is called creation. It could be called like that on PNGo! too, since the sun creates - or rather gives – life with its light and warmth. But it can also burn and kill with harsh and unmerciful blaze. More about Wu’s and Garmadon’s powers in their shared info page.
Wu likes children, but hasn’t really thought about having his own. He once loved the woman his brother married and has never had a romance or even a crush on anyone before nor after that. He used to have students a couple of decades ago, but he had some bad experiences and so he hadn’t taught anyone before he gathered the ninja to fulfill their destiny. He has also lived without company for a long time. If shopping in the nearest village doesn’t count as socializing, he hadn’t spoken properly to anyone after his brother was banished to the Underworld almost ten years ago.
When Wu is not teaching the ninja, or doing his balance-keeper duties, he likes to wander in nature and pick herbs and other stuff he then uses in spells, magic potions- and tea. Tea is his greatest passion. He knows all about them from the rarest tea types to the most common and he loves (almost) all of them. Of course, magic tea is his specialty. Busying himself with hot drinks helps him relax and clear his mind of worries and hard feelings. His inborn magic skills have weakened radically because he must keep the world order constantly under his control, especially now that his brother isn’t helping him (he’s in another realm), but he can still use some basic psychic moves like levitation, disable or confusion (more in the brothers’ masterpost). He also has a rare ability to heal, which he has taught himself. He’s not super good at it, but if there are no potions available, he can at least give first aid with his acquired character. He is also an expert in making so called “healing items”. (I’ll make a post of injuries, healing, and healing items someday too.) If he has something learnt during his many years, it’s that you can never have enough healing items available. (If you have played the old Pokémon games, you know what I mean, unless you have had an escape rope or a Diglet to get you out of those f***ing graves alive!)
Even if Wu is some years younger than Garmadon, he remembers his mother much better than his big bro. The cubs grew freakishly slowly. When they (finally) hatched, they stayed at the level of a toddler for several decades. They could barely speak in simple sentences when their mum died. The kids didn’t really understand death back then. Garmadon got sad and angry every time he remembered his mum and asked why she didn’t come home, but Wu didn’t question her going away in the same way. He understood that she had left their world and moved somewhere else. He was extremely sensitive to spiritual movements as a kid, so he probably stayed in touch with his mother for some time after her demise. As he grew up, this connection faded away like childhood’s imagination. It’s hard to hold on to faith in something you can’t see, and so Wu has lost his ability to feel the spirits and life force in all the living and even inanimate around him. He still likes to think they are there, and he knows for sure that his parents are there somewhere.
I have made the timeline from Kai and Nya’s parents’ birth to... Ahem... Let’s say to far future, but I haven’t covered the time before that. This means I’m still wandering in the dark with Wu and Garmy’s actual ages and their growing speed. I’ll think about that more and probs have to change something, but this is it for now.
Thanks for reading this far!

Ninjago: Rewind Way of the Ninja
*Looks at piles of fanfics, original ideas and other things that need finishing*...Sure I’ve got time to do this! XD
I’m a Ninjago Nerd, I love it and I ain’t ashamed….Well I’m a little ashamed at the dip in quality it’s been experiencing over the years but I still have a soft spot in my heart for the little lego Ninja what can I say?
So In preparation for the Ninjago movie coming in September I’m going to try and review every episode of Ninja from the Pilot to Hands of time hopefully finishing before the movie comes out in September. I’m probably going to fail but hey I can at least try! For now let’s start with part one of the Pilot Way of the Ninja:
With Way of the Ninja came what would be Ninjago’s Theme and technically still is it’s theme Weekend Whip. I say that it’s technically still the theme as since Rebooted the theme has gotten remixes themed around what the season would be based on and with added lyrics pertaining to the season. I won’t get into details till we reach those seasons but for what it’s worth Weekend whip was an...Ok song, memorable enough but it doesn’t really…..Go with the show. Ok it’s a modern re-imagining of Ninja as elemental masters but other then chorus having Ninja! Go! And ‘Jump up, kick back flip around and spin’ it doesn’t really relate to the show. But it’s still an ok song.
As for the episode itself it focuses on Kai who will be our protagonist, it’s quickly established that he is a blacksmith (and not a very good one it seems) he has a sister called Nya, they have lost their father somewhat recently but not recently enough that their still grieving for him and finally that he has a bit of a temper. Enough that when a old guy complains that they have nothing suitable for a Ninja to use he tells him in a surprisingly polite tone to peddle his insults somewhere else.
We are then introduced to what will be the villain mooks for the pilot the Skulkin skeleton warriors lead by the four armed warrior Samukai...and his two right hand men Kruncha and Nuckal semi recurring comedy relief characters, though after the pilot they’ll pretty much be relegated to a between season short, a cameo and a couple of background appearances.
The Skulkin attack and we get a nice little character moment with Kai telling Nya to stay back so he can protect her, only for Nya to turn right around and protect him from Skulkin coming up behind him and help him fight off the Skulkin warriors. Kai ends up in a one on one match with Samukai and ends up being no match for him, just before the Skulkin can kill him the old man now revealed to called Sensei Wu swoops in and saves Kai. Twice actually once from Samukai cutting him up and again with him destroying a water towers support making Wu have to pull Kai out of the way.
With them distracted we find out that the Skulkin are working for a mysterious Lord Garmadon and that they have orders to ‘Take the girl’....this raises the question of why Garmadon wanted Nya and how he knew she existed...But moving on, this reveals to us Nya’s purpose in the Pilot the damsel in distress!
...Don’t worry Nya your time will come….then go...
Kai is understandably upset that his sister has been kidnapped snapping at Wu saying he should have done something. It doesn’t help that Wu’s first thing to comment on what that he was right and Kai’s armor was useless. He quickly talks Kai out of going after the Skulkin pointing out that mortals can’t enter the underworld...At least not without outside help otherwise why would the Skulkin take Nya if they couldn’t take her back to the underworld with them?
We then get a nice stylised flashback/story about how the land of Ninjago was made by the First Spinjizu master with help from four golden elemental weapons that he passed down to his two sons. As these stories often go one brother became consumed by evil and it fell to the other to stop them, after banishing the eldest brother the younger hid the weapons away placing a guardian to watch over each of them and gave the only map to a honest man to hide.
…..
I’m probably going to come back to the ‘Honest man’ thing in a couple of seasons….Hell I’m gonna come back to the background story in one season as Wu seems content to word it as his brother voluntarily falling to the dark side.
Kai understandably isn’t interested in the least, he just wants to save his sister and not get involved in the conflict between brothers. He tries to leave only for Wu to knock him to the ground and tell him bluntly unless he can learn to control the fire that burns within him he’ll never be able to face Garmadon. Reluctantly Kai agrees to Spinjizu training.
Kai upon arriving at the monastery after climbing a mountain is quite perturbed at learning how to fight in a place of peace, apparently the guys never heard of warrior monks, or DnD monks. Kai ends up falling flat on his face and Wu declares he’s failed his one attempt at the course for the day and he can try again tomorrow. Kai rightfully points out their kinda on a time crunch but Wu just shrugs him off and leaves him to train alone.
What follows is a quick montage of Kai failing then finally completing the course in the time it takes Wu to drink a cup of tea. It just took him knocking the tea out of Wu’s hand so he had to restart the timelimit. Also going by how many times he failed he and Wu have been up there training for at least a week judging by how many times we hear Wu say ‘Fail’....Hello? Kidnapped sister? Bad guys have map to magic weapons that can grant them ultimate power? Anyone?
Anyway Kai asks when he’s going to learn Spinjizu only to get mentor cliche #563 ‘You already know it’ Wu then walks off telling Kai his final test is tomorrow and he should get some sleep. We jump cut to nighttime and see three Ninja sneaking into the monastery, Kai is getting ready for bed and he starts jumping around his room imagining what his test will turn out to be only to come face to face with one Ninja and realise the other two are surrounding him.
He manages to fend them off with his electric toothbrush and makes a break for it heading outside to the training course. After using the training course to beat them up a bit they end up in a brawl only broken up by Wu coming out and yelling at them. We then find out that these guys are also students of Wu’s.
….
Do we ever get an explanation as to what they’ve been doing for the past week? It’s never brought up in the show to my knowledge and I don’t remember it ever being mentioned in the books, and if you have to consult outside sources for that kind of info it kinda takes you out of the moment…
Anyway we get little character introductions for them, we already know Kai the red Ninja master of Fire, but we’re introduced to Jay Blue Ninja and Lightning master, he’s the technerd most of the time in the show and comic relief the rest of the time. The Black Ninja Cole Earth Master and….the show kinda goes back and forth on him being the leader of the group, he tends to be the one in the beginning to give the others orders but later in the show leadership is given over to another character but Cole still comes off as the leader even after that trade off, He’s the serious one. And finally we have the Ice Master Zane the ‘Seer with sixth sense’...which doesn’t make much sense considering what we learn about him in the next season. Something else that’s always bugged me is the vanishing trick he does with his shuriken in this scene, I know they have a hammer space of some kind to explain how they pull things out of thin air but there’s a weird sound effect and sparkles when he does it, and it is never mentioned nor does it ever happen again. Zane is a bit of cucoolander and takes things very literally.
Wu declares that they are the chosen ones who will protect the four weapons. Kai is rather pissed off about this pointing out that he’s only in this because Wu promised that he’d be able to save his sister and again, wants nothing to do with the fight between Wu and Garmadon. This isn’t helped by Jay being a horn dog asking if his sisters cute and if she likes blue.
We jump cut to the Ninja pulling Wu in a carriage on the way to the first weapon and we get a little more about their characters, we find out that Cole was testing himself by free climbing a mountain before Wu found him. Jay was in the city (We can assume Ninjago city) testing out a glider he made, and Zane was testing his self by meditating at the bottom of a frozen pond….Come to think of it Jay’s a bit of an odd duck here. Cole was mountain climbing (Earth) Zane was in a frozen pond(Ice) and Jay was just...Dicking around on top of a building….if there was a storm it’d fit a bit more, or if the invention was more to do with electricity…
We stop at the Caves of Despair Wu noting that Samukai has to be close to getting the Scythe of Quakes….Well maybe he wouldn’t be so close if you had helped Kai train and not left him to do it himself for a week?! Cole starts making a plan after Wu warns them not to use the Scythe only to find Kai’s jumped the gun and is heading towards the caves ahead of them. They follow after having to abandon the plan.
They get to Samukai’s tower with little trouble and a comedy bit from Kruncha and Nuckal and manage to steal the map from him realizing the Skulkin are bigging in the wrong spot as they have been reading the map wrong….Uhrm….If the map was upside down shouldn’t they be on the other side of Ninjago instead of digging in the right area just a little off target?
Kai races off hearing this and goes to the right spot trying to open it up, the others catch up and tell him that their a team with Kai pretty much brushing them off. It’s understandable but it’s getting annoying how Kai’s treating the others, I empathise that he wants to find Nya but he’s not helping himself here.
They open the cave and find the scythe in the jaws of a ‘Stone’ dragon. Gee I wonder what the guardian is? Jay causes an echo revealing to the Skulkin where they are and the Ninja start to leave as the dragon's jaws start opening.
The Skulkin show up to stop their escape and the Ninja start playing keepaway with the scythe while fighting them. Their losing to superior numbers when Jay realizes it’s like the training course and while visualizing the training course unlocks his Spinjizu. With the revelation that they literally already know Spinjizu they use it to beat back and force the Skulkin into a retreat.
Well either that or it was the pissed off Earth Dragon behind them that wanted the Scythe back.
The dragon attacks them blocking off the exit with it’s earth breath and turns on them probably looking forward to it’s snack. Seeing no other option Kai takes out the Scythe of Quakes and uses it dazing the dragon a moment and opening up a crack in the ceiling to let them escape.
And now follows a scene that pisses me the hell off. Wu is angry that Kai used the Scythe and when Kai explains that it was his only option Wu accuses him of putting himself before the team, Kai get’s angry pointing out again that he’s only in this for his sister and Wu brushes him off saying maybe he and the others can get the next three weapons correctly.
….
USING THE SCYTHE LITERALLY WAS THE ONLY OPTION! Zane said that they couldn’t use Spinjizu to defeat the dragon as it was to strong, it’d be nice if that was shown not told but what can you do? The only exit was blocked off with no hope of opening it before the dragon eats them and the only place they could reasonably go is deeper into the caves, the caves that the dragon probably knows like the back of it’s claws and the dragon was blocking off anyway. The only way they managed to escape with their lives was because Kai used the Scythe. Was he being selfish and only thinking of himself and his sister, yes. But if he hadn’t THEN THEY WOULD HAVE DIED!
Where would Wu have been with his only four hopes to beat Garmadon dissolving in a dragon’s belly?
We end on a pretty good scene of Samukai telling Garmadon he’s failed, that Wu has taught students Spinjizu and they have the Scythe. Garmadon assures him everything is going to plan and to let them think their winning.
So what do I think of Way of the Ninja, it’s an OK episode. Not spectacular but we got the basic premise established neatly, we have a sympathetic character in Kai, he has an understandable motivation. The other Ninja are a bit one note but did only get introduced in the second half so they didn’t have a lot of time but what they had they used rather effectively. All in all a solid foundation for the show
Way of the Ninja: C
I’m sorry but Wu’s last scene just drags it down for me, not to much but I honestly can’t give it a score any better then a C, it was an Ok start to the show and showed room for improvement. We’ll see how King of Shadows build upon what Way of the Ninja lay down next time on Ninjago: Rewind.
