The Oni and the Dragon Trillogy are darker, because they were meant to "grow up" with the people watching it. Kids who were watching Ninjago in 2011, when they were like five now are 13 years old. Sure, Ninjago should still aim for kids, because it's still a commercial for sets, but nowdays older people buy them too. Cartoons had always had some dark moments, like drowned kitties in Tom and Jerry, or the whole Atomic War story in Adventure time.
