Lloyd Garmadon (Relationships)

These are the relationships of the legendary Green Ninja, Lloyd.

Garmadon
Lloyd's father loved him very much since the day he was born. Lloyd idolized him and even dreamed of being just like his father by becoming a super villain, but his father didn't want his son to be like him, instead he wanted Lloyd to be his own person. When Lloyd finds out he was the Green Ninja, he was sad that he had to face his father and vice versa. When Garmadon was purified from evil, Lloyd was happy that he was finally reunited with his dad and the two used this as an opportunity to spend time with each other.

When dealing with the Overlord, Garmadon came to his son's aid with no hesitation telling Pythor who brought up his oath of not fighting that when he stole his son all promises were broken.

When Lloyd was about to go off to Chen's Island with his friends to find Zane, Garmadon tried to stop him but joined him on his journey. It was there that Lloyd learned some shocking details about his father's past, namely that Chen was his master and his father had signed a love letter that written by his uncle which caused his mother to fall in love with him. Lloyd was surprised but persuaded his father to tell Wu and Misako about his past after he admitted his fear of losing them after he got both of them back in his life. Lloyd was also sad that his father turned into Anacondrai but the latter told him he was on his side no matter what and Lloyd was quick to stop Jay from attacking Garmadon after he mistook him for Anacondrai cultist. Before the battle with Chen, Lloyd noticed Wu and Misako shunning Garmadon, asking if they knew about the letter as Garmadon sadly confirmed it. When fighting Chen's forces he was openly against the idea of having to banish his father to the Cursed Realm defeat Chen but relented and personally banished him to see him off though was sad at the outcome.

In "Curseworld, Part II," Lloyd was reunited with his father while traversing the Cursed Realm and attempted to free him but to no avail. Lloyd was distraught when he realized that to defeat the Preeminent he'd have to sacrifice his father who told him no matter what he'll always be a part of him. After the defeat of the Preeminent, Lloyd returned from the Cursed Realm and stated his father was in a better place. On "Day of the Departed," Lloyd and his mother pay their respects before Pythor attacked them and while fighting the Ancondrai, he realized that no matter what, Garmadon would always be there for him.

During Season 8: Sons of Garmadon, Lloyd learned that that a criminal organization intended to resurrect his father but as his villainous self. This caused him to feel conflicted over seeing his father again but dealing with a threat to everyone.

When Lloyd saw his father resurrected as his villainous self, he was horrified but believed that his father was still in there deep down despite others telling him that he was gone. Lloyd left his friends and confronted his father, they fought and Garmadon showed no mercy to him even stating he had no son.

In Season 9, Lloyd formed a resistance against him.

In "Radio Free Ninjago," the two nearly came face to face again but Skylor hid his presence. It was seen in that episode that Lloyd was still haunted from his last fight with his father, since it was the reason he lost his powers. Lloyd nearly lost his composure when making a broadcast but soon regained strength and personally challenged his father.

In "The Gilded Path," Lloyd encountered his father once more and was nearly killed by the Colossus. However, Lloyd pleaded to his father at not doing so and Garmadon relented, marking the first time he had shown hesitance after his revival. This reluctance allowed Lloyd to escape his grasp and stare at his father in confusion to why he spared him.

During "Green Destiny," Lloyd confronted his father with Wu who had returned and they fought as Garmadon declared them as his enemies. Despite this, Garmadon prevented Lloyd from falling to certain death twice and Lloyd tried to talk sense into him but Garmadon ignored it. Lloyd soon stopped fighting and resisted his father long enough for the latter to lose his power and him to regain his own. When Garmadon asked him to finish him off, Lloyd could not bring himself to do it, implying he still loved his father. In spite of his loss, Garmadon warned his son of an impending danger and despite his previous statements of how Lloyd had doomed Ninjago by stripping Garmadon of his power, he later reinforced his statement by saying "they" will come in a tone that clearly pleads his son to trust him and defeat the incoming darkness, implying that the whole fight was just to prepare Lloyd to fight the coming darkness and as Lloyd emerged victorious, Garmadon had viewed him ready to take the responsibility of defeating the Oni and his previous statements were over exaggerated intentionally and he believed his son could stop the incoming darkness.

Although Lloyd had his father arrested, he also heeded his father's warning and believed danger is lurking in the corner, implying he had realized what Garmadon's intentions were and trusted that despite his father's ruthlessness, it was mostly, if not, fully to protect Ninjago. This seems to imply that a potential alliance between Lloyd and Garmadon may be possible as they both may realize that they cannot defeat the incoming darkness alone and must work together to protect Ninjago.

In "The Darkness Comes", Lloyd heeds his father's call to Kryptarium Prison and he is once again reproached by his father for his lack of belief in the incoming darkness, which makes Lloyd more alarmed. He still refuses to let him out at first but still acknowledges Garmadon as his father. He later changes his mind and frees him.

In "Into the Breach", Lloyd is frustrated by how he has to "babysit" his own father but puts up with him and cordially introduced him to the Ninja's sleeping room. He looked sad when seeing the picture between him and his father and despite being furious when his father destroyed it, he still couldn't throw the picture away and returned it to it's place gently and stared at it once again sadly. Although Lloyd continues to mistrust his father and refuses to allow him to go armed and without him, he ultimately decides to trust his father and they work together. Lloyd saw at one point a hope that his father was still there but was frustrated by how Garmadon denied it yet perplexed when Garmadon laughed truly.

In "The Fall", Lloyd and Garmadon fight side-by-side effectively against the Omega but they are both overwhelmed by the leader of the Oni and Garmadon admonished Lloyd for being able to defeat him but faring poorly against their enemy. Lloyd shared a banter with his father upon destroying the Realm Crystal until learning to their horror that the Oni will still invade. Lloyd still follows his father's commands and they successfully escape the situation, but at the cost of Cole. Lloyd is furious at his father for his lack of care for Cole's death and walks off in anger.

In "Endings", Lloyd shows concern when Garmadon gets overpowered by the Omega and drags him to safety despite the danger to himself. Lloyd also trusted Garmadon to help them in conjuring the Tornado of Creation, stating that while Garmadon may not be a Ninja, he is still part of Ninjago's history.

Misako
Misako is Lloyd's mother. They care a lot about each other throughout the series. Lloyd did not know his mother when he was young but in Season 2, when he was reunited with Misako he was initially hostile towards her for her supposed abandoning of him. But after finding out her reason was to protect him and save his father, he ultimately forgave her and the two became closer in future seasons.

In Season 5, when Lloyd was possessed by Morro, Misako was desperate to get her son back stating she wasn't going to lose him just as she lost her husband. After Lloyd was freed of his possession, Misako was happy to have her son back and consoled him after the defeat of the Preeminent which led to his father's demise.

While fighting Nadakhan, Lloyd was sad at the thought of his mother being one of the Djinn's victims. On the Day of the Departed, Lloyd and his mother payed their respect to Garmadon and Lloyd defended his mother from Pythor when he attacked them.

During Season 8: Sons of Garmadon, Lloyd mentioned his mother going off on her own to find Wu but he didn't know where she was and seemed worried for her.

They were reunited in "Dread on Arrival" and Lloyd discovered Misako had found Wu before she was captured by the Sons of Garmadon. He was very angry at seeing her situation and wanted her released before the ritual took place.

Wu
Wu is Lloyd's paternal uncle and Master. Lloyd and the other Ninja really care about Master Wu and are glad to have Wu as their teacher. Wu looked after Lloyd when he was little which showed that Wu really cares about his nephew. Lloyd loves and respects Wu as his uncle and Master.

During Season 7, Lloyd and his friends came to Wu's aid when he fought Acronix and was distraught as Wu was wounded by the villain. In "Scavengers," Lloyd was sad that he might have failed his uncle when he needed help fighting Acronix, and Lloyd wanted to make sure he doesn't fail him again, so he looked after him when he was injured and continued to work harder in his training to become a master. When Lloyd infiltrated the Time Twins' base, he went out of his way to save the captive Wu but lost him to the Vermillion. When Wu was lost in time with the Time Twins, the Ninja made Lloyd their master and he said his first order as their master was to get rid of the time blade and find out where Wu was.

During Season 8, he was unknowingly reunited with his uncle when he came back as a baby. Lloyd was unaware of this until Harumi betrayed him and revealed this fact to him, and he couldn't believe his uncle was the infant the whole time.

After he was reunited with his friends, Lloyd spent more time with Wu and wondered when he would return to normal.

When Garmadon attacked the city, Lloyd protected his infant uncle from harm and refused to let Harumi take him.

In the Season 8 finale, Lloyd was under the impression that his uncle was dead and unaware he was in another realm.

In "Firstbourne," Lloyd was still sad at losing his uncle and was unable to focus in his training. However, he learned that he had been instead teleported to somewhere after he and the others found a piece of a leaf for Traveler's Tea.

During "Iron & Stone," Lloyd was informed that his uncle was sent to the Realm of Oni and Dragons.

In "Green Destiny," Lloyd was reunited with his uncle and was amazed that he is almost back to normal and surprised at his new armor. Wu also assured Lloyd that while he may not have power, he still has him and Lloyd was happy at this before they confronted Garmadon. Wu helped his student in fighting his father before he was forced out of the fight. Wu was later happy to see Lloyd has regained his powers and defeated Garmadon in battle. At the end, Lloyd was happy that his uncle had returned to normal and they celebrated saving the city. Wu also acknowledged Lloyd as a Master and gave him some advice about perfection of the world and how they mustn't give up before discussing an impending danger.

First Spinjitzu Master
The First Spinjitzu Master is Lloyd's grandfather, who died long before he was born. After Lloyd made the Tornado of Creation to defeat the Oni, he appeared in an unknown place to meet his grandfather. Lloyd knelt before him in respect and awe, to which the First Spinjitzu Master helped him to his feet and said there was no need for kneeling. The Master was very grateful to Lloyd for helping to defeat the Oni, and for all that he's done for the world he created. He gave Lloyd the choice to either return to Ninjago and forget their meeting ever happened, or go with him to somewhere he will be happy. The two appeared to nearly touch hands, but then Lloyd awoke in Ninjago.

Harumi
Lloyd developed an interest in princess Harumi in Season 8. When he first saw her, Lloyd was amazed by her appearance which earned him teasing from his teammates, to his dismay. Later on, he got acquainted with her and they bonded to the extent where Lloyd could call her "Rumi" instead of princess. They also saw they had similar backgrounds and having a destiny they didn't want laid out for them.

The two also stood next to each other when they were in the same room, and often made physical contact (Lloyd was often seen with his arm around Harumi, and Harumi was often seen holding onto Lloyd's arm). The two were also often seen smiling more when in each other's presence.

In "Dead Man's Squall," they were talking about their parents on the Bounty, and they told each other that they weren't alone and that they would always be there for the other. They had almost kissed in this episode before Lloyd made an excuse and left. Later in the episode, they helped save each other.

After he realized she is the Quiet One, he felt betrayed as she played on his emotions by deriding him for not being a proper savior, as well as telling him that his uncle was the infant the Ninja have. Harumi fought Lloyd and stated in the fight that she wanted to resurrect Lloyd's father so she could watch Garmadon destroy him.

In "Dread on Arrival," she had him imprisoned as well as his abducted mother. After Lloyd told her that their conflict was between them, she coldly told him there was never anything between them, leaving him heartbroken. Harumi further threw hurtful words at Lloyd as she gloated over his helpless predicament, as he was shocked by her true persona. After the Ninja came to his rescue and interrupted the ceremony, Lloyd watched as Harumi and her followers were arrested. He felt guilty that the events happened because he trusted Harumi and swore not to put too much trust in anyone again.

As Harumi was put in the back of a transport van, Lloyd stopped to speak with her. She tried to manipulate Lloyd again, telling him that he was right that this wasn't her. Enlightened by her betrayal, he immediately saw through the lie, and told her to stop, using her previous words against her. Enraged, she tried to charge at him, but he coldly closed the doors on her, to her shock. Lloyd then watched as she was driven away with a serious look on his face.

They met again when Garmadon attacked the city, she confronted him and he told her actions were no different from the Great Devourer attack but she ignored him and chased him as he escaped with Wu. Unlike before, she offered him a chance to join her organization but he refused her offer and the two fought for awhile although Lloyd seemed reluctant to hit her and instead twisted her arms behind her back until he managed to get away, much to her fury. Harumi held Lloyd by the throat and made him watch as the Ninja were "killed" by the Colossus but this time she didn't try to kill him (even though she had the chance). Instead, she put him down on the top of the tram carefully, which suggests that she may have actually liked him enough to not kill him. However, she was angry by his escape and screamed in fury.

In "Firstbourne," when she reported to Garmadon that Lloyd still hadn't been caught, she was opposed to his plan to use Colossus to draw him out and suggested sending Mr. E instead.

During "Radio Free Ninjago," when Lloyd made his speech to Ninjago of rebelling, Harumi was angry to see him again and tried using a recording of his loss against his father to stop him. Her attempts had nearly succeeded but he overcame it and continued speaking. She and Killow barged in, only to find them gone. She was furious at his escape but realized the location of their base after seeing garbage trucks drive away.

During "How to Build a Dragon," Harumi was nearly killed by Garmadon but saved herself by revealing the location of Lloyd and the resistance. This also hints that she might have liked him as she did not report to Garmadon about the hideout immediately.

In "The Gilded Path," Lloyd faced her again and he was shocked to see Harumi before she overwhelmed him in battle but he was saved by his friends and escaped her grasp.

In "Two Lies, One Truth" they met him again while she was confident in defeating him, she was dismayed to see he had tricked her and she ended up captured by Lloyd and the rest of the resistance.

During "Saving Faith", Lloyd witnessed her trying to escape the Colossus and they shared a gaze at the other. Harumi's facial appearance seemed to symbolize she had understood his words about having someone endure the same fate she had before she died trying to save the life of a boy and his parents who would’ve met the same fate as her. Lloyd had a concerned stare on his face and faintly said her name. He seemed sad after he saw her die, implying that he still had feelings for her.

Kai
Kai and Lloyd are good friends throughout the series though Kai was jealous that Lloyd was picked as the Green Ninja instead of him, but this did not hinder their friendship.

In Season 4, Lloyd tried reenlist Kai as a ninja and told him that he shouldn't dwell on not being a ninja. He was also worried when Kai supposedly turned on him but was relieved it was an act. When Lloyd's father was banished to the Cursed Realm to defeat Chen, Kai made a promise to look after Lloyd when he was sad about the loss of his father.

In Season 5, after Lloyd was possessed by Morro, Kai was the most determined out of all the Ninja to get his friend back, even going far as to give up the Realm Crystal and leapt into the water (despite his fear and inability to swim) to save Lloyd from drowning. He was relieved to have his friend back and comforted Lloyd when he was upset about dropping his guard by telling they would defeat any threat. Kai's words proved true as the Ninja were able to save the city of Stiix and defeat the Preeminent and her army of ghosts.

In Season 7, he and the other Ninja came to the decision to make Lloyd their master after Wu was lost in time with the Time Twins.

In the Season 8 finale, Lloyd was under the impression that his friend was dead and was unaware he was in another realm.

Throughout the series, they grow closer and show that they really care about each other. When Lloyd was possessed by Morro, Cole and the others would have done anything to get their friend back from Morro's clutches. On the Day of the Departed, Lloyd and the other Ninja were happy to see that Cole had become a human again.

During "The Fall", Lloyd was devastated to learn Cole had been consumed by the darkness and scolds his father for his disregard of Cole's fate while labeling Cole as part of his family.

Zane
Zane and Lloyd are good friends throughout the series. Lloyd and the other Ninja have shown to really care about Zane, as they missed him when he sacrificed himself to defeat the Overlord.

In Season 4, when the team broke up Lloyd attempted to bring them back together by enlisting a new member which was met with a negative response. However, this stopped when they found out Zane was still alive, they decided to go searching for him. Lloyd stated the decision was to find a member of his family to Garmadon who tried to stop from going to Chen's Island, another show of his care for Zane. After reuniting with Zane, Lloyd was happy to see his friend telling him it was good to have him back on the team.

In return, Zane also cares about Lloyd, as when Lloyd was possessed by Morro in the fifth season, Zane and the other Nnja did everything they could to rescue him from Morro. When Lloyd was released from Morro's grasp, they were elated to have their friend back and fought against the ghosts emerging victorious.

Nya
Nya and Lloyd are good friends throughout the series. There may be more to their friendship than meets the eye, because Lloyd and Nya were always stuck on the Bounty when the other Ninja were fighting the Serpentine and Lord Garmadon, although we don’t have much information on how close they were when Lloyd first joined the others on the Bounty. In Season 5, when Lloyd was possessed by Morro, Nya wanted to help save Lloyd from Morro's possession which caused her to train harder in becoming the Water Ninja. Due to his possession, Lloyd had not seen Nya become the Water Ninja, but when Lloyd was freed he was happy to her as the new addition to the team. Nya was also relieved that Lloyd was freed from the ghost.

After his return to the team, Lloyd and Nya worked to stop Morro and his forces from taking over Stiix. Lloyd congratulated Nya when she unlocked her True Potential and destroyed the Preeminent (even though she also destroyed his father along with it) to protect Stiix.

In Season 8: Sons of Garmadon, she was still a good friend to him and even offered him advice on approaching Harumi after the others gave bad advice. When he was defeated by his resurrected father Lord Garmadon, Nya gave him some of her power for him to recover after his fight with his resurrected father. She was also the only Ninja who had stayed with him while the others had gone after Colossus.

After Lloyd saw the other Ninja "die," they formed The Resistance in Season 9: Hunted to defeat the Sons of Garmadon, Lord Garmadon, and Harumi. Nya was happy to see Lloyd defeated his father and regained his powers as a result.

Brad Tudabone
Brad was a good friend of Lloyd’s when he attended Darkley’s Boarding School for Bad Boys. Their friendship started out rough due to Brad putting fire ants in Lloyd’s bed. They became friends when Brad claimed to have been just showing Lloyd how things work. They have become good friends since then.

In Season 2 in "Double Trouble," Brad, along with his classmates, tried to turn Lloyd evil again. His plans failed when Lloyd revealed what Brad said and got him to join him. The other kids soon followed suit. He then decided to help Lloyd fight the evil Ninja clones.

Gene
Not much is known about the relationship of Gene and Lloyd except they were classmates at Darkley’s Boarding School for Bad Boys.

In Season 2, Gene came up with the idea to try and turn Lloyd back into a villain. He failed when Brad released Lloyd after he told everyone that they didn’t have to be villains. He helped Lloyd in fighting the Ninja clones.

Dareth
Lloyd and Dareth get along fine, even though he is put off by the latter's attempts to show off. Dareth has helped Lloyd and the ninja by providing shelter from the resurrected Garmadon and providing assistance in the resistance.

While Lloyd sees him as a good friend, he can still be annoyed by his antics but sees he's only trying his best and cuts him slack. This was seen in "Green Destiny" where Lloyd was encouraged by Dareth's words to keep fighting.

The Resistance
Lloyd was already acquainted with the Elemental Masters from the time they had helped stop Chen's forces. In Season 9, he was happy to see them again after they had saved him group from the Sons of Garmadon. He was quick to ally with them in fighting Garmadon's forces and got along with them very well. During the ambush, Lloyd wanted to save the masters but Nya told they had to prioritize his safety and he agreed, though he was clearly worried for them as he was devastated to hear they were captured.

After the Ninja returned, Lloyd was happy to see the resistance had broke out and were helping them fight Garmadon.

Pythor
Pythor manipulated Lloyd to get his hands on the map to the Serpentine tombs. Pythor later allied himself with The Overlord to get vengeance on Lloyd for letting The Great Devourer eat him. When capturing him, Lloyd was shocked to see Pythor's new look and the latter blamed him for it.

During the Second Serpentine War, Pythor wasn't pleased to see Lloyd again but had no choice but to help the ninja. Lloyd even protected Pythor from Chen's forces and Pythor gave the ninja a spell that would banish Chen and his followers. By doing this, Pythor became a temporary ally to the ninja, despite the spell banishing Garmadon too.

During Day of the Departed, Pythor fell back into his evil ways and decided to use the events of the day to destroy Lloyd. They fought and Pythor used underhanded moves such as holding Lloyd's mother hostage but Lloyd and his mother broke free and Pythor disappeared into the night.

The Overlord
Lloyd and The Overlord were fated enemies, as the prophesied Green Ninja and Dark Lord respectively. Lloyd personally hated The Overlord for corrupting his friends and father to serve him and defeated him during the Final Battle. The Overlord then returned to try to steal Lloyd's golden powers to become the Golden Master.
