Bro Zane either died or goes missing every couple of episodes istg the creators hate him he is literally kenny from south park 💀

How many takeout deaths has Zane gone through? Zane: "Yes."

I feel like the writer's excuse of "killing-off" Zane so much is because he's a nindroid and can never truly die I guess

There's a difference between a fakeout and being resurrected, a fakeout is when they were never meant to die or you were meant to believe they were dead, but they were still alive. Some of these characters like Garmadon actually died and weren't always supposed to come back

18 minutes of fakeout deaths is insane💀

Zane should win an Oscar for his fakeout deaths. In all seriousness though, the amount of fake outs in this show is kind of tiresome. If you want to kill off a character, you gotta commit. Resurrection gets a pass but only if it serves the story. Death fake outs do not raise the stakes.

60% of these were Zane-

The only character who is really dead is Morro for sure

I would love to see some sort of scene that villan says to zane; "I thought you were dead!!!" And then zane responds: "You know, Dying is my speciality"

15:14 - 16:00 You can feel the anguish Wu is in based on how he's crying out showing how compassionate he is towards his students and he's not losing another student

I really enjoy that Zane’s deaths all have the same music, as do his resurrections

Ironic knowing how many times Wu and Pythor are similar in so many ways and yet opposites.

I always like Zane's emotional song. It not only brings back memories of season 3, but puts so much impact on zane's death.

I know Zane dying is you know a regular thing now but you gotta admit that scene in crystallized is so good

A fakeout death is when a charcter presumably dies in order to trigger an emotional reaction from the audience, only then to be revealed that the character is alive. That's different from a character dying and coming back to life. The villains in DotD didn't even come back to life, they only returned as ghosts. The actual fakeout deaths are mostly the ones from s1, Lloyd in MotO and the ones in Crystalized (might be missing a few.)

Out of all of the fake out deaths the recent nya death really messed up the storyline for crystallized. Technically you lose nya, and then like 3 episodes after, you get her back; which loses the feeling to connect with the grief of the ninjas. If she was missing for the whole season it would’ve helped develop the plot of crystallized because there’s more episodes for it to go into other things and maybe at the end nya helps them fight the overload, AND THEN the next season she can get revived. It would’ve felt more dramatic and have a better ending for crystallized.

I've gotta say. The overlord was one of the ninjas most persistent villains. Like the overlord was always lurking in the shadows. And he had three or four fakeout deaths.

I knew Zane had the most Fakeouts before the end, these people really got stop torturing our boy like seriously

Poor Zane needs a break from all the fake outs why do the writers love torturing him?????😭

I was so disappointed with how Zane was written in Crystallized. Instead of another fakeout death and comic relief we could of Zane actually acknowledging the trauma/guilt he went through in the Never Realm but no using him as the punching bag is always the easiest but laziest option now.

I know that everyone says that Cole's fall is the worst fake out death but for me it's Oni Garmadon. They didn't even try

The absolute "fake death" winner should be the monastery, it has comeback more times than william afton

Zane had more lifes than a cat LMAO

1. Samukai DID die. That's why his soul inhabited the animatronic in Day of the Departed 2. Dr. Julian DID die in the flashback. Samukai just revived him, and kept him alive until he eventually died in-between Seasons 2 and 3. 3. Zane's death from Season 3 did count as a death. Sure, his consciousness survived and built a new body, but his sacrifice costed him his original body, which was destroyed, meaning he did technically die

I wouldn't say that samukai death is a fake out because he was never brought back to live, he only temporarily possessed a statue and try to fight for the chance of resurrection

The only way to tell a death is real is if it happens offscreen

gotta love how most villain deaths they turn good in the last second and they’re like “goodbye.. [character]..” and then it’s all sad and stuff

I think the reason the writers choose Zane to die so much is because he has so many benefits ranging from being able to run way longer than any other of the Ninjas and having way more knowledge on battle and strategies. It would simply ruin the character if he was that OP for both of the shows.

poor jay has watched everyone die, and he didnt die once, give him a break :(

The fact that this video is 18 MINUTES long pleases me way too much Also I feel like Prime Empire was done with the purpose of making them go through more deaths, no?

Samukai died for real though. He wasn't sent to the departed realm, but the cursed realm is also a form of afterlife

The fact that most of the "deaths" in more recent seasons are fake outs is just sad. I haven't watched the second half of crystalized but I'm not surprised that there are 3 fake outs in there

bro i swear zane is that one character that always dies every season

I'm not sure about Zane, but I think the Overlord should have been destroyed for good in Rebooted. They could have pulled it off by making the Golden Master's attack longer and more impactful. They also could have made a compelling story with Zane shifting the balance completely to light by destroying the Overlord. From there, the ninja would face their future enemies fearing that one of them will become the next ultimate evil, or we could see what bad would come from the balance being completely in light's favor, stressing that a little darkness to even out light is necessary for the world's well-being. I think that would've been a cool story to explore for ninjago following Rebooted

"Basically every death ever"

i love how three out of the five images in the thumbnail are just zane

Ngl some fakeout deaths were not bad,but some def.were,including the ones in Crystalized

7:56 Lloyd being The Golden Ninja again

In my opinion Dr. Julien is the best character of all he gives love to those who don’t have anything and doesn’t ask for anything in return and even though Zane is a robot Dr. Julien loved him as his own son. It honestly brings me to tears to see his fake death and now knowing he’s dead

In all fairness, fakeout deaths also show character evolution. How did Zane react after regaining his memories of Dr. Julien? How did each of Ninja move on after Zane's sacrifice in Rebooted? How was Lloyd dealing with Garmadon's passing at the end of Tournament, compared to the beginning and end of Possession? More importantly, how have characters reacted when they didn't win, like in Legacy of the Green Ninja: Return of the Overlord?

1:03 This scene always hits me hard even tho I know what happens

Samokai’s death was real, and Zane’s dad technically was too.

This guy didn't include Zane's fake death in forbidden spinjitzu everybody thought he died because of aspheera sending him to the never realm

I always thought there was so many scenes where they just about fall to death and then someone catches them and says “got you”

Ik zane has been dying too much but I was ok with the last one, only because we got Pixal's heartfelt goodbye. "I do not know if there is anything after this life for beings such as you or I, but if there is... I will find you there. Goodbye my Zane." 😭Love them so much. Also the sound of happiness she made when he woke up was so pure and genuine.

Zane is like ACTUALLY bullied by writers and can’t stay alive for 3 seasons

You forgot where Lloyd was freaking out about his father being banished to the cursed realm.

Seeing Garmadon with two arms is just plain weird sight And seeing Zane a normal "human" again is just as weird dang Guys remember the time when The Great Devourer was the biggest threat? Heh

Ok, Zane obviously has the most, but Nya has the most memorable ones. The end of Skybound, Prime Empire, when the monastary blows up, the end of Seabound in a sense, etc

The only fake out deaths i believed that wouldve been good was everyone in S6 since it would be deverstating for the villain like Nadhakan to win. As he already did "kill" or tortured to wish themselves away every other ninja apart from Jay. And he forced Nya to marry him. So a villain like that and imagine ending the season with her death and Nadhhakan dying as well would've been so good as we see everyone completely different

But you guys keep forgetting how much times Lloyd is experienced to trauma, betrayal, and falling down stairs or getting flung into a wall get still is up and walking. This proves kids are truly invincible 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

I love how many times there was a deep and significant death but the character returns because yes

I feel like the first few are acceptable, but now its just... expected. We know any major character who dies will come back

8:32 Dang it Zane now we have to replace those broken parts with new ones.

Nah, Crystallized has so many problems but the ludicrous amount of fakeout deaths absolutely DESTROY any semblance of tension the season could have had.

I love how Lloyd just t poses after going into the overlords mouth

Zane’s death in S3 is the only good death Zane had, because there was a form of consequence (him losing his original body). I enjoy Season 8 but that whole thing where he got beaten to a Pulp by Mr. E was so pointless, especially considering the scrapped Echo Zane plot point never came to fruition. That scene just left me confused after watching it if I’m being honest

Same plot over and over; the bounty gets destroyed, the ninja lose their powers, or Zane “dies’”

I love how this video basically includes almost every death in the series

I hate how Ninjago thinks fakeout deaths are “emotional”

10:50 I felt Garmadon's pain.

Can we talk about how jay fakeout death like 1-2 times and Zane just dying in every season.

Cole's fakeout death is one of the best ones in the show tho, like the music and the way the dialogue goes silent actually brought a tear to my eye as a teenager watching it. As someone who hated season 10, this was like the one good scene in the whole season, and honestly one of my favourite scenes in the whole show

You forgot one more fakeout death. Pythor in s3 when he became small and "was eaten " by a bird

There are so many at one point I was like: oh zane died again? Ok sure...he'll be back in a few episodes

It’s amazing that this wasn’t even all of them, there were quite a few he missed that I can think of just 7 min in

Moro is literally the only one who actually died 😮

52 fakeout deaths thats one death each week for a year! idk why I put an exclamation mark lol

Thought that the “death” counter would’ve referred to simply faking deaths and not when the character actually die and a resurrected

Bro I love that this series is with recognition I'm watching from the old series to the newer one,every episode

Of the three, the Departed Realm seems to be where the dead are naturally meant to go, as when a being who was sent to the other two is destroyed, their spirit will move on to the Departed Realm. Departed Realm (possibly for all denizens of all Realms)[4] Cursed Realm (for those whose souls are cursed; now part of the Departed Realm)[5] Underworld (for fallen warriors who were disgraced in battle, and don't accept or realize their passing) Returning to life Death can also be thwarted, but the ways that this can be accomplished are generally considered immoral, as it goes against the natural order of the world. Likewise, the consequences of such methods can prove too dire or even worse than death itself. These are some ways that have been used to defy death: Resurrection with the help of Higher Powers (resurrection by the forces of someone who has incredible power: First Spinjitzu Master or The Overlord) Resurrectea (temporary postponement of death, requires the deceased individual's body to be present to ingest it) Rift of Return (requires powerful magic from the Yin-Yang Eclipse to sustain; once every 3,721 years) The power of the Yin Blade (places victim into a state of ghost-like limbo; destroyed) Being wished into the body of another living being by a Djinn King (possession of another person) Killing one's murderer (or one closely associated with the circumstances that caused their death) with a Departed Blade Escaping from the Cursed Realm or Underworld (escapee is left in an undead state of being, either skeletal or cursed; Cursed Realm destroyed) Resurrection by the Mega Weapon (massive energy toll on user required; destroyed) Reversing time on the corpse of the deceased (can be negated by Tomorrow's Tea) Escape from the Departed Realm (requires a massive amount of catalyzed magic to sustain indefinitely) Imprisonment in the Djinn Blade (indefinite, unconscious limbo for all eternity) Oni Masks (when they are united; exclusive to those with Oni blood; two masks destroyed) Necromancy Skull of Hazza D'ur (can resurrect skeletons that obey their necromancer; destroyed) Within the Prime Empire video game world Respawning (only three times) Trivia Although no skeletons have been released since 2015 that have arms with ball and socket joints which allowed them to move all the way out to the side and all the way around, all skeletons in Ninjago have hands made this way, except the Skulkin and Re-Awakened, who use a newer version of the hands. The reason for preserving the original hands is probably that the skeletons can be in better and more diverse positions. Interestingly, although all the other skeletons in the show have the same design as the real LEGO skeletons, the Fangpyre skeleton in "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and Anacondrai skeletons in "Never Trust a Snake" look like real skeletons, although in "Green and Gold" it turns out that Serpentine has the same skeletons as humans. The Ninjago characters who got, cubed in the 12th Ninjago season don’t count as death scenes there in a video game, lost their lives and got, cubed. Nya was lucky to have gotten out of the hanger bay before the whole hanger bay exploded. Zane was lucky to have survived and got out of his coma thanks to Pixal and Cyrus Borg wasn’t really leaving Zane there alone was he? He wasn’t really going with Pixal Ronin and the other criminals was he? Was he was just going with them to say good luck, and then go back to where Zane was? Because he didn’t really go with them also, why didn’t you show us master Chen and his Anacondria, army dying? Cryptor was sent to the Departed Realm because "must have a programmed soul like Zane and Pixal. ninjago.fandom.com/wiki/Death ninjago.fandom.com/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions

5:25 bro thinks he's walter white

Honestly if Samukai didn't do that and survived he would be a great villain.

The deaths that hurt the most are the ones where Wu cries. It really hits to see the man who watched these kids grow be so frightened by them and their death. One day, these deaths will all eventually happen, or the show will end. And they'll hit even more.

Strange how this is still my favorite childhood show because as I’ve grown up fakeout deaths have become my absolute least favorite trope in writing unless done very well and still carrying weight.

Zane: Oh no I am dead. Ah well, it was fun. Oh wait, I am alive? Huh. Alright, yo guys I am back. Wait, oh I am dead. Ah sham- Wait what?! No! I am dead! Aren't I?! Oh ok. Finally I am de- WHAT!!?

Lmao i love how Jay never had one lol. That's my boy right there

I wanted to cry when I saw how Wu rescued Morro believing he deserved a second chance.

Bro Zane can’t go one day without dying

Incredible how ninjago made us panic 52 times because someone „died“

So much plot armor. I understand protecting the main characters who are important to the plot but this is beyond far. The ninja can practically win every fishy with all that protection from the writers. Now I feel bad for all the villains…

This video could have been a lot longer 😂😂😂

When P.I.X.A.L finally explained her love for Zane and then kissed him before walking away for battle, dang. That hurt. and Then Zane came to life/powered on and P.I.X.A.L yelled "Zane..? AHAHAH, YOU'RE ALIVE!!" You could hear the amount of relief and happiness from her voice! (Pixane is the best.)

Garmadon's fake out death in crystalized is a contender for worst one of them all. I couldn't believe what i was watching

I knew there were a lot of fake deaths but 18 minutes worth?!?

Harumi did die but was brought back to life because of the overload (crystal king)

Yk, your not truly a main character/main side character if you haven’t almost died once.💀

How ironic for Zane, he almost always "dies" yet at the same time he's immortal

The last death was a sign of Garmadon fully becoming good after tricking Lloyd to use his Oni side.💚🖤💜

This is a whole new tier of “f*ckin wit yo emotions” ☠️☠️ Also, Samukai thought he ate lmaoooo 🚶🏾‍♀️

I would've included when Hands of Time changed the past, ending with all kind of technology, making Zane some kind of llifeless doll

You forgot the one in the first season where wu knocks snake into lava and he climbs out

I love that the thumbnail was mostly just Zane

More accurate title is Zane's total deaths because he "dies" the most.

I like the show as it is. Perfect for kids.

There were actually characters that didn't fakeout in terms of death, spoilers if you want to keep reading Morro, samukai, mistake, harmuis parents, Kalmar, I'm sure there's more, I do tend to forget

Honestly, 7 year old me watching this would WHAIL at EVERY SINGLE fake out death more than I would an actual death. Its mainly the actions and acting that sells it. Now I'm 16 and I everytime something like this happens, I've learned that if I never see their body limp or disintegrate or perrish in some way, they always come back. ......sometimes.......

you sure this isnt a zane death compilation with some random people featured with it?

Bro the golden weapons from the pilots look awesome

samukai actually died cuz he was in the departed realm
