Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created by the First Spinjitzu Master, using the Four Weapons of Spinjitzu. The Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice and the Sword of Fire. Weapons so powerful, no one can handle all of their power at once! When he passed away, his two sons swore to protect them, but the oldest was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess them. A battle between brothers broke out, and the oldest was struck down and banished to the Underworld. Peace returned, and the younger brother hid the weapons, but knowing his older brother's relentless ambition for power, he placed a guardian to protect them. And for fear of his own demise, a map for an honest man to hide. That honest man was your father. The older brother is Lord Garmadon, and I... need to find those weapons before he does.

Background

Ninjago, formerly known as Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu is a computer-animated television show produced by The Lego Group. Created by Michael Hegner and Tommy Andreason, Ninjago has spanned multiple seasons, a feature-length film, video games and graphic novels. The series premiered on Cartoon Network on January 14th, 2011 with 4 pilot episodes and has been in production ever since.

The series follows a team of six brightly coloured ninja and their battles against the forces of evil to maintain balance in the world of Ninjago. The show centers on these six Elemental Masters, each possessing seperate elemental powers and lead by their elderly sensei, Master Wu. The Ninja consist of Kai, the hotheaded Master of Fire, Cole, the steadfast Master of Earth, Jay, the excitable Master of Lightning, Zane, the robotic Master of Ice, Nya, the mature Master of Water and Lloyd Garmadon, the legendary Green Ninja.

The Ninja are trained in a unique martial art known as 'Spinjitzu', the central fighting style shown in the series. The martial art involves rapidly spinning around, creating a tornado-like vortex of elemental energy to increase striking power and maneuverability.

The central story revolves around a prophecy regarding the Green Ninja, the Ninja destined to rise above the others and defeat the Dark Lord, also known as The Overlord. The Green Ninja is Lloyd Garmadon, son of the evil Lord Garmadon and youngest of the Ninja. He controls a mysterious green energy. Many events in Ninjago revolve around the Green Ninja title, such as searching for the fabled hero, the Ninja's struggles to train him, the team's mission to rescue him after his possession, and Lloyd's relationship with his own father.

The most recurring antagonist is Lord Garmadon, Wu's brother and The First Spinjitzu Master's firstborn son. Once a regular boy, Garmadon was bitten by The Great Devourer, a snake with a venom that could turn the purest of things wicked. Over many years, the venom corrupted Garmadon, but not before he could marry and father a son of his own. Tragically, it was around this time the Great Devourer's venom fully corrupted him and turned him evil against his will. Wanting to remake Ninjago in his own image, he tried to steal the legendary Golden Weapons, artefacts used by the First Spinjitzu Master to create Ninjago, and battled his brother over them. Defeated, Garmadon was struck down and banished into the Underworld, his body disfigured and his mind fully succumbed to evil.
