In season 2 the ninja had weak powers because they didnt have their golden weapons but at that time Lloyd started developing those exact powers. So here you would think the green ninja can control all the elements, makes sense.

Later in Season 2 they go to the temple of light and get their powers back, again through weapons, which they concentrate onto Lloyd giving him his golden power. So up till now you would think giving him more of their elements makes him like the First Spinjitzu Master and makes him more powerful, still makes sense.

Season three arrives {after an apparent cancelation of the show} the ninja have NO trace of powers and Lloyd can now create things out of mid air and levitate things and move mountains, great. But after he gets captured he decides to give back the golden power by removing the concentration of its power in him and spreading it between the ninja making it appear like he can no longer use their elements. Everything makes sense.

But then season 4 happens and everything turns upside down. It starts with Lloyd using lightning and fire. So he didn't lose those elements? This could easily be explained saying that since he had the powers before the golden he'll have them after the golden. But soon we learn that the ninja aren't alone. This raises questions like: Can Lloyd control their elements too? Do those elements depend on the Golden Power too? Did the green Ninja not have to be a descendant like the others?

Season 5 and we learn that if something happens to Lloyd the Ninja can't use their powers but all the other elements still work, judging from Nya. This could be explained by saying that they where bounded by they golden power they all share.

I think that the reason for this is the same reason for why the golden weapons are only being of Lightning, Fire, Earth and Ice. These are the central element from which al the others derive from. It's the reason they depend on the Ultimate Spinjitzu master and the reason that they specifically were chosen to be the Ninja and the Guardians of the Green Ninja.

But why did the Ninja ever lose their powers in the first place making it necessary for a bond between them to exist? How did they know them losing their powers meant Lloyd was in trouble? And how does Lloyd's power even work? It's not a normal element because if it was they would have known he'd be the Green ninja from the beginning like Misako, wait, how did Misako know? It's a powers that's apparently not inherited like the others so there has to be something.

This is all a mess I know, but this it what the writers have created. I love that Lloyd can use more than one element don't get me wrong but why do the ninja only have powers through weapons and Lloyd?

This is a total mess and I probably missed a lot of things so if you know something I missed, have another theory to how this all works or want to try to make sense of this be my guest.
