Maybe an obvious detail but Nya actually comes out of the same glass of water Kai knocked over, so in a way, Jay was actually right -- that water did bring him closer to Nya.
hot take: lloyd in crystalized was not out of character. my reasoning for this is... actually there's a lot of reasoning. one of the biggest complaints people have about crystalized lloyd is how he treats his father in comparison to early seasons lloyd and to that i say: early seasons lloyd had not been disowned nor had he been beaten half to death by his father. i don't think i would be as willing to work with my father had that happened to me. his reasoning (garmadon being oni) may have been flawed, but i also think he was putting his own personal reasonings (being disowned and almost killed) behind, and attacking the thing that didn't include how he was treated.
i understand why people would be mad about lloyd attacking the oni side of his father, given the fact that mystake was amazing and also sacrificed herself for him, but when people are trauma responding, they tend to forget the good things and focus on the bad. lloyd didn't want to bring his own feelings into it, because he has invalidated his own feelings. therefore, he attacks the thing that has nothing to do with him.
DISCLAIMER: i am not attacking nor am i intending to invalidate people who think that lloyd suffered "character assassination" in crystalized. i just feel the need to give my own opinion about it. i will most likely talk about this topic again because i am so passionate about it.
all the time i think about how Nya really and truly was the glue of the ninja like Jay said in Crystallized because let’s be so for real, had Nya not been kidnapped by the Skeleton Army or been such a great help to the Ninja and Wu ever since, there literally would be no Ninja. She’s what assembled the four core ninja to begin with. She goes to every length possible for these boys, whether they like it or not. She keeps it going. She’s Nya and she’s badass and she’s the game-changer in so much of the Ninjago plot that these boys truly do not know what to do without her.
