Harumi blamed the Ninja for not defeating the Great Devourer. She said that they are not protectors, but children playing dress-up. And in a weird way, she might be right.

In fact, that's pretty much what Lloyd was throughout the first season. Actually, it's pretty much Lloyd's fault that the Great Devourer was unleashed. He's the one who opened the Serpentine Tombs, which led them to waken the Devourer.

The Ninja had the four Silver Fang Blades that were the keys to unleashing it and they were about to destroy. But before they could do that, Pythor took back the Fang Blades and the Great Devourer was set free. Every time the Ninja try to stop some big disaster from happening, it happens anyway. The Overlord becoming the Golden Master, Chen creating an Anacondrai army, Morro releasing the Preeminent, The Hand of Time changing the past... Even the return of Lord Garamadon. Instead of just prevent the problem from happening, it was like they were cleaning up their own mess at the end.
