Season 9: Hunted

Season 9 of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu is an upcoming season preceded by Season 8. The Master of the Golden Dragon is the mascot character and possibly the focus character, Iron Baron serves as the main antagonist, and the Dragon Keepers are the villainous faction of the season. Little is known about the season except that the sets are scheduled to be released around August 2018.

Plot
Stranded in the Realm of Oni and Dragons, Wu and the original four Ninja (Kai, Zane, Cole, and Jay) must fight against the Dragon Keepers in order to free the dragons and claim the pieces of the Dragon Harness. Meanwhile, in Ninjago, thinking their friends are dead, Lloyd and Nya form a resistance against the continuing threat of the pure evil Emperor Garmadon and Harumi.

Spoiler Notes

 * According to Tommy Andreasen, the season's name starts with "H."
 * According to a leaked calendar, the Ninja are trying to "free the Dragons."
 * A new character known as the Master of the Golden Dragon will be introduced.
 * In the first unofficial images, they used the Kai template. We know that he isn’t Kai because there were more leaked images of Master of the Golden Dragon where he had either white or black eyebrows.
 * It is possible that the Master of the Golden Dragon’s armor could be the collectible items for this season as it can be seen in different shrine side builds throughout the sets.
 * Settlement in the Throne Room appears to be the only set that doesn't take place in the Realm of the Oni and the Dragon.
 * According to a teaser video, Ian James Corlett will be voicing Iron Baron.
 * "The Weekend Whip" will be returning this season.
 * According to Tommy Andreasen, the events of Season 9 take place one week after the events of Season 8.
 * Dareth will appear again this season.
 * It is possible that there is a Season 10 since the Hageman Brothers said in a tweet that, "Nobody ends on 9."
 * For April Fools day, Tommy Andreasen posted a status on Twitter with three events from Season 9, two of which are real and one of which is fake. The three events stated that the ninja will speak the language of the dragons, that Dareth will unlock his true power, and that there would be a talking rat. So far, none of these events have been confirmed or denied.
 * Skylor and Harumi will return this season, according to leaked set images.
 * There had been long debate as to whether Skylor still had her powers. This mystery might be revealed in this Season.
