Here's Something I Think About.

My favorite thing about the dance sequences in this episode are all the subtle variations. It would have probably been easier for the animators to sync the character models to a uniform set movement but even in the final performance there are all these little details given to each ninja that really brings the whole episode to life

For instance here you can actually see Zane has his foot raised off the ground

I also noticed that occasionally he and Kai get ahead of Jay and Cole (with Zane being slightly faster at moving towards the next pose)

The start has Cole's stance as the widest, which makes sense because he needs to stand out for his own true potential episode!

I don't know what any of these moves are called, but I think it's interesting how Kai is more dramatic with the way he raises his shoulder- compared to Jay, whose performs the same move at a much softer angle

Ninja's art skills from canon:

Kai

Nya

Cole

Zane

Jay's paintings from Farewell the Sea(I couldn't find good pictures of them)

Arin

Sora

Now we only need Lloyd,Wu,Pixal and Wyldfyre

I’m so sleepy that I started rambling to one of my not-Ninjago friends about jay and bird symbolism. Do you know how much bird symbolism surrounds this man. There’s so much. So much bird stuff. Why is his animal a kraken and not a bird? Forever a mystery.

Idk if yall have had the chance to look at this ninjago book at the Barnes and Noble but these pages really tickled me. Like????? is Zane okay?????? canonically????????????????

heyyyyy I got my scanner working, come get y'all's juice! A short story from one of the Ninjago magazines featuring Echo!!!!

Some of these look like menu options from a KFC joint lmao

new 2025 leaks

Ras is still going? That is one tough tiger to kill. Can‘t confirm anything about the veritability of these yet

Zane gets called a mom friend because y'all love to woobify him a lot but honestly i think if you put him in charge of a child he would not know what to do with it. like he would take the responsibility seriously and keep the kid out of trouble but otherwise he would have no idea what to do. Zane babysitting activities consist of sitting quietly in a room and not leaving his line of sight until your guardians (or the other ninja) get back. And snacks if you get hungry but you're not allowed to help make them you have to sit there and watch

I like all the instances of Jay giving someone a little wink as a means to show support

Wouldn't be surprised if it's something he picked up from his dad
