The Departed Cool Movie Poster

Product Information

Similarly one could argue that Day of The Departed seems to borrow most of the idea as part of their premise by the looks of it. That being The statues of the villains coming to life during nightfall, and Yang possibly serving as the equivalent of The Tablet Of Ahkmenrah since he is responsible for setting off the events in some way. 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." Similarly, Morro is the only revived villain to not seek vengeance, but instead redemption and forgiveness. This is likely due to the concluding events in "Curseworld, Part II" when he realizes the true meaning of being the Green Ninja. His claim of having "unfinished business" with Wu in front of the other villains was a ruse to hide his true intentions of helping the ninja. Firstbourne · 86. Iron & Stone · 87.

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] Samukai, Pythor, Generals Kozu and Cryptor, and Master Chen served as the secondary antagonists of the special. 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. However, both Chen and Cryptor's original deaths were indirectly caused by their targets destroying a more powerful villain; Nya drowned the Preeminent, and Zane froze the Golden Master.

Storyline

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] 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.

In the same shot, the Pythor statue can be seen holding the Departed Anacondrai Staff, despite the real Pythor taking it earlier. Winds of Change · 46. Ghost Story · 47. Stiix and Stones· 48.

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. In " Curseworld, Part II," Nya destroyed the Cursed Realm which consequently resulted in Chen's death. In "Day of the Departed," Nya destroys the mannequin Chen is possessing using one of his own missiles—defeating him a second time. Zane also defeats Cryptor a second time, having indirectly frozen then shattered him apart at the end of "The Titanium Ninja." Chen's New Chair · 2. Chair Play Chen · 3. Chair Up Chen · 4. Chairful What You Wish For · 5. Bad Chair Day Samukai claims to be a "fearsome master of the axe" even though he was never shown wielding an axe before this special. General Kozu presumably pursued Dareth for stealing control of the Stone Army, indirectly leading to his destruction by enabling Lloyd to reach and defeat the Overlord.

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. This is the only Ninjago special released. However, The Island has been alternatively released as a special in some countries.A teaser featuring the opening scene was released on August 18, 2016, while the official trailer was released on September 30, 2016. Day of the Departed aired on October 29, 2016, in the United States. It follows the ninja as they commemorate their ancestors and fallen friends on a sacred holiday. During this, Master Yang manipulates Cole into ushering in the return of the ninjas' arch-enemies—forcing them into an unexpected and dangerous conflict. Andreasen also confirmed who the hero/villain pairings would be when a fan guessed them correctly. [8] In actuality, Yang doesn't ally with the revived villains. He uses them to distract the ninja so they won't interfere with him opening the Rift of Return. This special focuses on Yang's conflict with Cole, while the return of the villains acts as a subplot. Cole has a lantern with him while viewing the Hall of Villainy, but when he goes off to Yang's portrait, his lantern disappears for the rest of the scene. Cole was the mascot ninja, and the promotional and box art was approprietly focused on the Crashcourse Canyon. The collectible items were the Departed Blades, except the Sword of Sanctuary. The sets mostly consisted of ninja vehicles. 70751 Temple of Airjitzu was released as part of the Possession wave over a year before "Day Departed" aired. However, it ties into the story of the special, as the set depicts the ninja using the Temple of Airjitzu as a base which happened at the end of the special after the temple returned to its original state.

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] P.I.X.A.L. had a cameo at the beginning of the special, before the introductory sequence to tie in with the effects of Jay's final wish in the previous episode. Misako, Dareth, and Ronin also made appearances in the special. This is the first episode not written by Dan and Kevin Hageman due to scheduling conflicts with them writing Trollhunters. [3] It was instead written by David Shayne. https://web.archive.org/web/20220531215509/https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/LEGO_Ninjago_Day_of_the_Departed?id=6trKqgs5xTI&gl=US

Cryptor was destroyed inadvertently (first by him being frozen and shattered, then by falling out of a tree). 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] 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. 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.
