Spoiler Notes

 * The Ninja have been seen in the sets, as have Skylor and Samurai X, while Master Wu has not. Garmadon might have been seen in 70654 War Rig and 70655 The Dragon Pit. However, this isn't to say that Master Wu doesn't return in Season 9. Wu appeared in Seasons 3 and 4, yet wasn't in any of the sets (save for Techno Wu in set 70725).
 * A new character known as the Master of the Golden Dragon will be introduced, however, it is entirely possible he will be introduced prior in Season 8.
 * 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.
 * A version of Master Of The Golden Dragon that looks like a golden samurai can be seen in the top left of the boxes where the focus Ninja of the season would be.
 * According to Tommy Andreasen, the season's name starts with "H."
 * According to a leaked calendar, the Ninja are trying to "free the dragons."
 * It is possible that the Master Of The Golden Dragon’s Samurai armor could be the collectible items for this season as it can be seen in different shrine side builds throughout the sets.
 * Throne Room Confrontation 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 one of the Oni.
 * "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."
 * Harumi will return this season, according to leaked set images.
