cole turning into a ghost is still one of the most shocking moments in the entire show in my opinion

Can we all agree that the scene where Zane regains his memories is the best scene. Its stunning and wierd to think that it's a "kids" show.

As a kid, “You can only save those that want to be saved” hit HARD

I was a huge fan of Ninjago as a little boy, now... in HS, me and my little brother are rewatching all of the seasons and It brings back a lot of good memories. Still surprised the whole show holds up.

I’m glad you agreed that possession is number one. I just love that whole ghost theme, the violin soundtrack, and of course the opening is just so freaking good how can I not like it. Someone put the idea in my head that Morro could possibly be what Kai would’ve turned out if he had stayed too ambitious to become the green ninja honestly, that kind of tripped me up a little bit.

Season 4 and 5 are peak Ninjago and there is no debate about it. The villains are so good and both times I was left wondering throughout the series how the Ninja were gonna logically win. They were emotional, the characters were well written and the endings were impactful. Also the music is so good

1:51 I actually think there wasn’t enough time travel in Hands of Time. Knowing the villains had power over time, I fully expected the season to dive right into the time travel shenanigans. I was let down that I had to wait so long for what I thought I’d get plenty of.

Lloyd was quite literally destined to be the next spinjitsu master and had the power but then the overlord murked him 😭

season 7 is so underrated, its honestly one of my favourites. i love the plot, the vermillion warriors, i also love how kai and nya are the main ninja too in that season.

You have no idea how much I was hoping that Possession was at least top 3- AND THEN YOU PUT IT IN 1ST!!! This season holds all my fondest memories and I’m so glad that it’s not just nostalgia that makes it as good as I remember

The best seasons for me are 4-5-6. It was an amazing trio

The Pilots created one of the best Ninjago Memes - "I am still black" - Cole

As one of the 3 Day of the Departed enjoyers, I think Cole's story was so strong that it carries the entire special. Him ascending up the temple and collecting an arsenal of weapons like a dungeon game, then fighting Yang at the end is just so cool. And there's an alternate cut of the whole special, which technically doubles Cole's arc. It's not the best Ninjago entry, but I'd definitely rank it higher than some others

I think hands of time was sought to be forgettable because of the hype of the lego ninjago movie and the the temporary but huge controversy behind sons of garmadon and its design changes. But I think its an overall decent season. The animation (only in fight scenes) is amazing and the execution of the time travel plot is brilliant with the time blades, the vermillion warriors and the hands of time themselves which in my opinion are some of the best villains.

Season 5 gave us the best soundtrack in human history and the best storyline ever 🙌🔥

I'm so glad you put possession at #1, its such a good season. ive probably watched it at least 20+ times by now. i love the focus on all the characters and the plot of it is just amazing. it's just a darker season in general which i loved. i also really like the scene between lloyd and garmadon - its really emotional and gives closure to lloyd. overall, its a great season because i love lloyd angst!

I always wanted to finish Ninjago someday. I watched the first couple of seasons, but I was never really compelled to continue . However, I still do enjoy the memories I had with the show (like the time I won a book from my school). Those were the good ol’ times.

I liked the idea of Master wu having a student before the ninjas, because I kinda found it weird that Wu decided to train ninjas at an old age (ik he lives longer than a human I just expected him to have student at a much younger age)

i really really really loved seabound but my favorite is hunted because i loved seeing young wu, i loved jay being crazy, i loved seeing cole being a dad, and i loved it all in general. But, in terms of the soundtrack, i absolutely adored prime empire. It’s ost was AMAZING! (I also am a big fan of electronic and chiptune, so I’m kind of based.) I literally have the shopkeeper’s theme saved on my playlist. (also okino is my favorite side character aside from benthomaar and scott)

8:35 not that compelling? Are you kidding, Skull Sorcerer is one of the most amazing villains we‘ve gotten from the show. For the first time we have a villain that does not act out of revenge and does not want to conquer Ninjago. He only wants to controll his mountain, because the vengestone gives him and his people wealth. He has an amazing design and voice actor, he is a skilled fighter, he is intelligent and imo the most charismatic villain. They hinted that he is not only motivated by greed, but also slowly getting corrupted by the skull, adding depth to his character. He also has a great symbolic meaning; King Vangelis is like a god ruling the angelic people in the sky, while the Skull Sorcerer rules the flamming hell like the devil, but in the end they are the same people. In the end he was the perfect antagonist for Cole. Also, his reveal was the best Plot Twist in the entire show. I was so shocked to find out who he really is.

Ayy you did a video about the show :D Honestly ranking the seasons was always something hard for me, since I have so many mix opinions on it

I think Zane being a robot will always be the biggest plot twist of most of our childhoods

This is why I will always put season 2 as my number 1: Season 2 was actually the original series finale, and so accordingly the writers and the show spent season 1 and season 2 as a build up towards the final battle where Lloyd becomes the golden ninja. But after the fans demanded to bring the show back, the show was just knocking down problems as they came up. Unlike in season 2 where the events were planned in both season 1 and season 2 to build a final ultimate battle. Do I regret the show being brought back in season 3? No, of course not, the show is still well written after it's brought back, but I feel the planning and the build up for the ending of season 2 is what surpasses it for me.

I totally agree with possession being number one! Sky bound is also great along with tournament, SOG and Hunted being amazing too. I love all Ninjago though, these are just my top picks. While Ninjago will always be my favourite show, there are some dumb things I will never get over. Like the fact the ninja just straight up forgot about Airjitzu and their elemental dragons. Ahhhhhhhh that annoys me so much!!! Like imagine hunted if they just immediately forged their elemental dragons and dipped back to Ninjago. Plot solved.

I've always sort of had a soft spot for Ninjago. I remember when I was younger how I would watch it with my older brother. Even if I didn't really quite grasp the plot, but hey pretty colors and funny Lego men make brain happy. Jay was always my favorite, really I don't why. He's one of the only one's that can make me laugh out loud. Skybound is probably my personal favorite season, but I'm sort of bias. The Tournament Of Elements and Possession are tied for second.

About to make me cry with the ending guitar theme

nearly hit everyone on the mark but possession and a few others, great commentary and I think you did really well with the videos in the background.

Recently rewatched S4 - S7 Skybound was good, I liked Jay being the MC. (which was surprising cuz if I had to rank the Ninja Jay would probably last or 2nd to last for me). However, Nadakhans's powers opens too many plot holes. I think if they had been able to stop him before he become Djinn King then it would've been a more satisfying end. Mainly because by that time you would think he is way too OP to even be hurt. Also Kai and Zane got badly sidelined and disappeared for 7 eps or something, the way Kai went out was just sad. Hands of Time was pretty good in my opinion but again the ability to control time just opens up too many plot holes. I thought the plot itself wasn't bad, actually quite enjoyable especially the subplot with the discovery of Kai's and Nya's parents. As for the animation, for some reason I didn't notice major changes. Tournaments of Elements was amazing. There were many great fights, and even though some of the Ninja were eliminated they still had good roles to play (like Cole), Garmadon was an excellent Sensei too. Only complaint was the ending felt meh. Could've been better but the first 7 episodes or so were amazing. Possession is my clear and cut favorite. Morro was an amazing villain. Cole being a ghost was cool too, good side characters like Ronan were heavily featured. The ending was done specially well, the defeat of the Curse Realm was done better than any of the other defeats of major villains. Honestly, no major complaints, maybe just Lloyd being sidelined for 7/8 episodes but when he came back he had that epic battle with Morro and it showed parallel with the Green Ninja and the one who wanted to be the Green Ninja.

Fun to see the perspective of someone coming back into the series recently

Speaking of the love triangle I have a theory that the overlord changed SPECIFICALLY nyas perfect march to be Cole to cause infighting between jay and Cole to weaken the team

I do wish we got to see more of human Garmadon because it did get a little repetitive when we just kept getting "evil" Garmadon coming back again and again after Lloyd pretty much cured Garmadon of his "evil side". Like getting to see more of his monastery and students, or getting to see more of Garmadon teaching the Ninja.

I'm happy to see my favorite season as the best in your vid, I also agree I love this season and it brings back so many good memories and nostalgic moments. And I also listen to the intro just for fun bc it is the best intro in the entire ninja go series

Enjoy the video 🔥 Season 5 is also my favorite season

As someone who grew up on Ninjago I- completely agree with you. Even though I haven't seen the seasons after the movie-style change (I still haven't really gotten over it. I don't hate it, it's just the seasons with the og designs will always be the better Ninjago to me. But that's with the nostalgia glasses on, I might give it a chance sometime soon). I LOVE the possession season, I was sitting there the entire video like "Where's Morro's season on this list???" and got so hyped that someone agrees it's #1. I agree Skybound isn't *great* but I absolutely love the last episode, and that's mostly the only episode I focus on of that season.

The Outro hit me Bro. This show WAS my childhood for so many years. I watched from Season 0 to 8 and i fcking loved it. Nice Video!

I remember watching seasons 1-5 when they came out each and absolutely loved them

3:23 Prime Empire is criminally underrated, it's definitely better than the likes of Seabound and Crystallized. It may not be the most well written thing ever, but boy is it so much fun to watch.

when I'm watching Ninjago sometimes I just feel like: "can we be done with snakes yet?"

My biggest flex to this day is having the pilot season (with the skeletons) on dvd Great video man, I loved the outro keep it up

I think ninjago is the type of show that never ends because they can make more character and story telling that is amazing so I hope it doesn’t end.

13:02 The text under ninjago translates to: "all new series" It's in the official ninjago language and you have the alphabet in the 1st instruction book for Ninjago City Gardens

My favorite season will always be number 4. Coming back to this show, the first few seasons I was so excited to get to season 4 since it was my favorite from my childhood. Still will most likely always be my favorite.

Nice short ranking! Totally disagree with some spots but overall it’s great

I won’t lie, I’ve been watching since 2011, and I don’t plan on stopping until the storyline is done. I wonder what is to come next for this franchise in the future with the next show coming out next year with a rumored 2D design.

The serpentine arc is one that really sticks out for me cuz me and my brother watched it religiously and waited for each episode and jus could not wait for the next one

Recently been rewatch ninjago content and this show is so good that even Day of the Departed can be enjoyable to me

Thank you for putting possesion at the 1 spot, it's always been my favorite and I feel like its underrated

Funny vid and the tierlist is good❤

As for season 2, the fillers everyone complains about have a lot to offer to the story, thr pirate thung returns in s7, lloyd losing his childhood is tragic but heroic, compare those fillers to the ones in thr newer seasons and they are miles better

honestly , crystalized really didn't disappoint me as much as other people, i put it around 4 or 5 on my ranking

Man i was just hoping to see possession at top 3 but man you really shocked me its my favourite most nostalgic season

Decent rankings, Morro is one of the best written characters in the show and him plus Ronin plus Nya's subplot are what make Possession so great imho. If you saw Brent Miller's interview with the Hagemans, they both said Morro's their favorite villain as well. Would be interested in your take on Dragons Rising! I honestly thought it was lame at first, but just completed a full rewatch and it actually slaps really hard by the end, pumped for season 2

I really wish Poe Dameron cameoed in Crystallized to say "Somehow the Overlord returned."

Skybound will forever my favorite

I am happy that you put Season 4 as number two. Number one does have a problem to me. The producers think its good to have to bring up the "who gets Nya" and delays the outcome for 4 effing season. I would put it at two and Tournament of elements at 1. No hate and I love your Ninjago content! *also Lloyd and his father have an amazing seen plus character develpment at the end and it made me cry*.

I watched seasons 1-4 growing up and went back to the series when i found it on hulu, I vividly remember my mom commending Sensei Wu on some kind of comment he made, saying that what he said was true and I need tor really listen to what he was saying lol. It's a fun show, and I have a lot of memories with it.

Made me shed a tear with that ending

I loved Rebooted personally, its the one i have the most memories of And plus the fuckin “after the blackout” song made for it slaps

I have literally been watching this show since i was around 4 - 5 (so around 2013 - 2014) and I have been a fan ever since, this show literally inspired me on many things I make up for my little stroy book too I've been making myself lol

Love your content❤

2:15 I agree that S7 was horribly done. Its such a shame because I found Krux and Acronix to be a fun villain-duo and wished their story along with the main plot of S7, was executed well.

I loved ninjago so much that I watched all the season more than 3 times, (except for seabound and crystalized. )

w video the 2. and 1. choice are obvious but really good

I’m glad someone agrees with season 5 having the best intro song that shit had me hyped back in the day

Holy crap I didn’t know this show didn’t stop. I stopped watching after season 7 (I don’t know why I stopped, maybe because I didn’t like it as much as previous seasons). It’s insane this part of my childhood still persists.

Season 4 is great, because it explained how the serpentine got locked in tombs, Something that wasn't expanded on in the first 3 seasons

The fact I also came back to finish the seasons and found a few on the Lego channel is crazy.

I’m so indescribably happy this is still relevant

this video is literally a tutorial on how to piss off 99% of Ninjago fans

My favorite seasons are possession, skybound, sons of Garmadon, hunted, master of the mountain, seabound, and the first 15 episodes of crystalized

Season 5 was extra special for me. Because When I was watching Only uptill S4 was released. And I used to keep watching the leaks for Season 5 and each episode as it comes out. So it was way more suspenseful than the others

Wu regaining his memories will always give me goosebumps

It's been hinted that the new Ninjago series will actually be a continuation, not a sequel or a passing the torch series, a genuine continuation.

My respect for this dude skyrocketed when he showed #1

I agree with list. I don’t if any one says it’s bad but this list is so fucking good. Good work out there.

You have the same top 2 as me 😂, i trully loved Chen and Morro

You have season 2 on 11!?

Bro I loved crystallized. Actions from the previous seasons come back, all the characters having their moments. Having a great set up, wondering who is this new villain and by the end, gets insane and awesome. Everything pays off so well. One of the best seasons of the show

I completely agree with your number 1 and you're number 2, both MASTERPIECE seasons.

Bro the possession arc and the tournament of the elemental masters will forever be my favorites

My favorite seasons are Crystalized Seabound, Master of the mountain, hunted, son of garmadon, posscession

I started watching during Rebooted. Watched all on Netflix. Have seen every episode ever made, other than pilot, which as a 5 year old, my brother read to me from the school library. The first kit I got of it was the Thunder Raider, with Jay, Cole, and a Nindroid. I cried at Crystallized. And I never cry at shows or movies. I got Wu's Dragon. The original from 2015, and so many others. I want to get all the sets from Crystallized, since it's the finale.

I loved tournament and possession, my favourite seasons. But i would place season 1 there aswell as it had the most fun episodes that werent necessarily setting up any bigger story, which season 2 had aswell which i liked

I still remember when the ninja uses a golden weapon, then go to normal one, and then their weapon completely changed like Jay nun chaku turns into kusarigama and Cole from schyte into Fist of Strength

For me the best thing to come out of Season 7 "Hands Of Time" was developing the brother/sister bond between Kai and Nya, and seeing Ray and Maya. Oh I forgot to mention "Rise Of The Vermillion" by the fold absolutely slaps.

Season 4 and 5 was the golden age of ninjago

Ong I love you and this list it’s perfect Chen and Moro are 100% the best seasons

I love your Ranking i love season 4 and 5 as much as youuuu~~

My Top 3 : Skybound, Possessed and Reboot. Skybound had me really felt like the ninjas were going to die because they were caught single by single and so this made me feel really scare of Nadakhan. The fact that every time they seemed like more and more unpowerful, the pirates context, i loved that. Possessed has opened the door of the 16 kingdoms, the whole background and the final is absolutly insane. The ninjas are fighting Moro and Lloyd, what a good concept, and the good design of the fantoms and the costumes absolutly got me. Reboot is my favorite. In the release context, Ninjago was just elementary powers, Spinjitzu and old Legends. But this season was revolutionary ! The technology, the costums, the power of Nindroids, Dark Wu and Good Garmadon, the limit of golden power, the digivers : so much good ideas and concepts that makes this season a masterpiece and finally the final battle was so beautiful, emotional and Epic, i thought as a child zane died. This season is one of the best ever made for me. (Bonus : I don't like any of the last seasons (8-16) because the graphics are childish, the episode are too short, the vilains aren't that scary and charismatic, the story isn't developed that much, and there's no emotions at all.)

Season 2 was the best season what are you on

That AoT nood was amazing, we stay patient🕊

I dont remember a lot of the seasons but i love the ghost season and the season when lloyd has that golden dragon

This is gonna be purely from memory, but here’s my ranking (worst to best): 1. Day of the Departed 2. Secrets of forbidden spinjutsu fire chapter 3. Secrets of forbidden spinjutsu ice chapter 4. Legacy of the green ninja (Those were the seasons Dislike) 5. Pilot season 6. The Island 7. Sea bound 8. Rebooted 9. Prime Empire (Those were seasons I’m mixed on) 10. Master of the mountain 11. Hands of Time 12. Crystallized 13. Rise of the snakes (Seasons I definitely enjoyed, but have some issues with-if only minor) 14. Tournament of Elements 15. March of The Oni-specifically the movie version 16. Possession 17. Sky bound 18. Sons of Garmadon 19.Hunted (These are the best Ninjago has to offer in my opinion

1.crystallized part 2 2.Legacy of the green ninja 3.The Tournament of elements 4.Hunted 5. Secret's of forbidden spinjitzu 6.Reboted 7.Hands of time 8.Possession 9.March of the oni 10.Sons of garmadon 11.Sky bound 12.Crystallized part 1 13.Seabound 14.The Island 15.Rise of the snakes

I would definitely replace season2 and 3 with crystalized and seabound, I enjoyed them way more, other than that you’ve made everything in the list perfect

100% agree on possesion ! It deserves first place ~ Also if they rlly are goona do smf with ninjago I think "re-dooing" it could be interesting idea ^^ Like idk if any of you watched monkey king ? But as much as this show has problems THE ANIMATION AND ACTION SEQUENCES ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING +,+ and i would love to see ninjago fights done in that style ~ Also as much as I love ninjago maybe they shorten it a bit and make it more seriouss? Maybe? And they could even fix some of a plotholes and expend more on the world. Bc like it's obvs that it's bc they planned to end it on season 2 and they needed new ideas but First we are told that Ninja's got they're power bc they were choosen ones? It wasn't rlly implied that it's a hereditary powers, which is further proven by the fact that they just randomly loose they're powers in reeboted ? But then it all changed in season 4 , athough correct me if I'm wrong bc I could have mixed it up and got wrong. and it would do it a favor if they finally fix the timeline XD bc it's so confusing it's better not questioned anymore They don't have to re-tell exactly the same stories they can experiment as long as they keep that ninjago's heart in the core of it ^^

Season 7 gets to much hate ✋ 😔

Here’s my ranking of the seasons: 1: Crystalized 2: Master of the Mountain 3: Sons of Garmadon 4: Hands of Time 5: Possession 6: Tournament of Elements 7: Seabound 8: Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu 9: March of the Oni 10: Legacy of the Green Ninja 11: Rise of the Serpentine 12: Rebooted 13: The Island 14: Prime Empire 15: Day of the Departed 16: The Pilots 17: Skybound 18: Hunted

before i clicked on this video i knew the top 3, i havn't watched ninjago in a while but i remember genuinley getting excited for s4 and s5, that is peak fiction for me, and my 8 year old brain didn't expect morrow or garmadon to sacrifise themselves, i shed a few tears for both of their "deaths", morro was probably like one of the best villains i have ever seen, it sounds silly but im serious, that chase scene in the forest in s4 when skylar hunts everyone down, and nyas leaving samurai x notes was so cool to me, and for the record, s5 intro is such good music, its in my playlist and during the duration of s5, i would never skip that intro, holy crap its so awesome edit: i thought i wrote this but i didn't, morrows last words "you can only save those who want to be saved, goodbye, sensei" gave me goosebumps, im currently rewatching it and i went to the final episode just so i could hear that, chills

the only thing I would do to ur list is swap possession with the tournament of elements as it introduces o many more unique characters, finding out zane is alive and they play the tournament to get him back, Chen the villain was great to and the fact that garmadon had history with master Chen himself being life long enemies with close and you get to learn a lot more about the serpentine war that's happened year ago
