(I dont think you can fight a destruction user and win (unless u have golden power, or darkness), because "the fight fuels" them, remember? So, I believe  Garmadon was referring to the Balance. ( from Season 2) Basically, the reason each season has a new villain, (or a new buffed up villain, in the case of season 3.) Is because for light, there has to be shadow. (The Overlord was not lying.) In season One, there was the Ninja (Coincedentially, Lloyd got the "fantastic" idea to release the Serpentine.) see, Light(Ninja) vs Darkness (or evil, Serpentine) With Season 2, Lloyd got way more power, being able to do a bunch of uber-cool stuff as the Green Ninja! However, The Overlord got a host, and was Even more powerful then Lloyd! Because of this, Lloyd had to become the Golden Ninja. (with season 3, the Overlord came back, because he is the only villain In ninjago with enough power to even come close to Lloyd's amount of power.) the Overlord was super powerful in this season, because of Lloyd having Golden Power. However, The Overlord managed to come back as the Golden Master, by taking Lloyd's power. So, the Golden Master had to be brought down. So, Zane sacrificed himself to destroy them. That is seasons 1-3. In Season 4, the Ninja are less powerful, because they do not have Zane, and Lloyd is way weaker than the otrher seasons. So, the antagonists of this season are weaker than the others, both physically, (All the cultists are regular humans, including Chen.) (Clouse has magical abilities, but he is still human.) and In regards to success. (The Serpentine wanted to ressurect the Great Devourer, and they accomplished their goal. Then, The Overlord wanted to conquer Ninjago, and they did that, for a while.) In season 5, Lloyd gets possesed by Morro, but, Nya unlocks her element, Water, which is a game-breaker in this case, because that allows her to kill ghosts in one hit. In season 6, The Villain is a Djinn, and is a threat because they manipulate the Heroes. Not much else can be said. However, In season 7, we are introduced to the Hands of Time. Both Krux and Acronix were once very powerful, but they slowly regain that power as they acquire the Time Blades. This culminates with them traveling through time. (Time travel had not been seen since Season 2.) In season 8, Garmadon is ressurected, (his Oni side only.) which adds a lot of power to the already powerful Sons of Garmadon group. (the Sons of Garmadon WERE very powerful before they ressurected Garmadon. They were never just an ordinary biker gang, for a few reasons: 1) They have an Android on their side. (Androids = Nindroids) 2) They have the Oni Masks, and 3) The high-ranking non-robotic generals all have fighting expertise). The common theme of all of this is that, no matter how powerful the forces of good are, there always must be some evil. Perhaps the final season of Ninjago will be about getting rid of the Balance. (In favor of Good, of course.) That, actually makes a lot of sense.... But, Tommy Andreason said "I've heard the rumors that NINJAGO will be ending soon. That's not necessarily true." :).
