something that bugs me

rewatching s4, but...

When Chen says he has all the elements... He's factually wrong.

He doesn't have Wind, the element Morro had that died with him unless he had some unknown relative. And he didn't have water, which was held by Nya at the time, even if unknown to her.

Did the spell only mean for elements alive at the moment? Or did it only require a certain number of elements?

Maybe the real reason the spell was temporary, was that he DIDN'T have all the elements.

And we know they had Morro planned already because of the end of the season's last episode.

Some Ronin history (According to the ninjago wiki)

He canonically has a wife and one daughter, but the creator has said he sees Ronin as having two daughters and an ex wife so decide what you consider cannon lol

Ronin was the one who gave Zane and Pixal to Chen but he didn't want to. Originally, he was hired to go kidnap someone for a LOT of money as in enough to pay off all of his debts but when he found out who, he didn't want to do it anymore. So Clouse threatened to hurt his family if he didn't cooperate.

One night, a drunk Ronin was approached by a guy named "Sultan Archron" who offered Ronin a deal that he said would cost him no coin. Ronin agreed, not knowing at that moment that he was indebting his soul to Soul Archer. (Who was human at this time) Having made a deal with Soul Archer, Ronin knew that his soul would end up in the Cursed Realm should he not pay the Archer off on time. After the Archer was banished to the Cursed Realm himself, the deal was seemingly disintegrated. However, the ordeal left him paranoid, so he created his eyepiece to detect paranormal essence.

He was briefly seen at the Biker Tavern as Morro arrived and left before he summoned Wrayth.

Ronin has a somewhat implied relationship with Ed and Edna as in day of the departed when he shows up and saves them he nervously tries to cover up the fact that he was gonna steal some scraps and Ed just laughs and gives him some telling him to just ask next time

Prior to Sons of Garmadon, At one point Ronin was hired by Kai and Zane to take them to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master in their search for Wu

In an effort to clear his name during the same time, Ronin made a deal with the Police Commissioner to run a "School for Crooks," a criminal reform course partially designed to counter the rising threat of a new criminal gang reported to be recruiting members. (AKA sons of Garmadon lol

Ronin hangs out at Dareths bar

That's all I got!

I love when I check the ninjago wiki to double check that I’m correct about something before Info dumping to my friend about it and discovering new information that I cannot for the love of me find where it came from.

Like what do you mean ronin is the one who sold Zane to Chen? I mean it checks out but when was this said?? Am I just forgetting a line of dialogue or something?? What??

kids show up to the tournament n the other elemental masters are SO confused. what r these small children doing here go HOME

The children ninja definitely use their size and being underestimated to their advantage!

Their villains fall into three categories

1. Refuse/reluctant to fight a kid

2. Ignores the fact that their kids and treat them like in canon

3. Even worse than cannon. (Nadakhan)

Lord garmadon is all three somehow

Kai: FIGHT ME!!

Opponent: YOUR LIKE FIVE??!? WHERE IS YOUR PARENTS!?!

Kai: JOKES ON YOU IM A ORPHAN!

Jay cheering in the background: YOU GO KAI!!
