Product Information

Andreasen confirmed various other aspects of the special, including that Pythor would appear in the flesh [9] and the special would feature several locations from early seasons. [10] Wu gets a bad feeling as Morro confronts him, though Wu is pained at having to fight his former student again, he states that he won't hesitate to do it again. However, Morro reveals he really has no intention of revenge; instead he tells Wu of Yang's plan and they set off to reunite the ninja. The new designs were a product design choice to make the villains unique to the sets of this wave. [12] This explains why Morro and Samukai did not change in appearance, as they had no minifigure counterparts in this set wave. Let's Dance · 2. Upgrade · 3. The Meaning of Victory · 4.

This marks the last appearance of Cole as a ghost and the first appearance of him as a human since " The Temple on Haunted Hill." Samukai claims to be a "fearsome master of the axe" even though he was never shown wielding an axe before this special.In the same shot, the Pythor statue can be seen holding the Departed Anacondrai Staff, despite the real Pythor taking it earlier. Andreasen also confirmed who the hero/villain pairings would be when a fan guessed them correctly. [8] The Invitation · 36. Only One Can Remain · 37. Versus · 38. Ninja Roll · 39. Spy for a Spy · 40.

Day of the Departed" was confirmed during San Diego Comic-Con 2016 along with The Hands of Time. During the event, the opening scene of the episode was shown to the audience.When Cole starts to fight Yang again after the other ninja arrive, watching closely shows a part of his suit clipping through the Earth symbol. During the credits, Paul Dobson is listed as having voiced Kozu and Pythor, but he only voiced Kozu. His brother, Michael Dobson, voices Pythor. In fact, both Michael and Paul were credited for voicing Pythor with their names sitting next to each other. Samukai went after Jay due to process of elimination, as the other villains all claimed a target before he could. However, it's worth noting that Jay was the first ninja to use Spinjitzu against the Skulkin (in " The Golden Weapon"), inspiring the others to follow suit. Pythor didn't die but he did slip away (first by Garmadon destroying the Great Devourer, then by jumping off a statue). The Mask of Deception · 76. The Jade Princess · 77.

At one point, Kai asks Nya if she thinks that they'll ever find out what actually happened to their parents. This hints to the next season, The Hands of Time, where the siblings do find out what actually happened to their parents. The golden statue of a Hypnobrai general, which was previously seen in " Winds of Change" shortly before Morro possessed Lloyd, can be seen at the entrance of the Hall of Villainy. Day of the Departed" does not have an episode number because of it being a special. The first episode of The Hands of Time was episode 65.The ending can be interpreted two ways, as happening later in the same night or years in the future. [18] [19] Cryptor presumably challenged Zane because he inadvertently destroyed him by slaying the Golden Master. Master Yang's students and the past villains' henchmen (Frakjaw, Krazi, two Stone Swordsmen, two Stone Scouts, three Nindroid warriors, Zugu, and Eyezor) serve as the villainous factions of the special respectively. When asked what "Close the circle" meant, Tommy Andreasen stated, "Finish the job. Get even. Settle the score. It is basically a trap to make Cole go to Yang." [25] When the ninja arrive on the Bounty and Kai says, "We have to help him," he and Lloyd are wearing their Jungle robes.

The Helmet of Shadows makes its return in this episode, having last appeared in " Rise of the Spinjitzu Master." In its last appearance, it served the same purpose—for Dareth to control the Stone Army. While holding up the head of the statue, Lloyd says, "You are still with me, dad!" This echoes part of Garmadon's last words to Lloyd in " Curseworld, Part II:" "Whatever happens to me, wherever I am—I will always be with you." Samukai, Pythor, Generals Kozu and Cryptor, and Master Chen served as the secondary antagonists of the special. Tommy Andreasen stated, "I like DoD a lot. The action got cut up more than it was in script, and some (in my mind) important scenes were left out. But it's good." [20] Kozu had an off-screen but implied death (Lloyd defeating the Overlord destroyed him, then Dareth turned his troops against him).

Tommy Andreasen was not very involved in the production of the special, so when he watched the intended final product, he was "horrified" to see that Nya's Spinjitzu was red and called Peter Hausner to insist it be changed to blue. [11]
