Season 10: March of the Oni

Season 10 of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, subtitled March of the Oni, was preceded by Season 9. There is no focus character. The Oni serve as this season's villainous faction.

Bragi Schut, who previously worked on both Sons of Garmadon and Hunted, is the lead writer. The Hageman Brothers are involved with the creation of the story but are not the script writers. While being only four episodes, it has also alternatively been edited into a feature-length TV film, spanning to 88 minutes (one hour and 28 minutes). It is only a small part of the six hours of content planned for 2019.

The first teaser was released on December 16, 2018.

Trivia

 * The first English teaser, created by Wilfilm and Tommy Andreasen, was released on December 16, 2018.
 * Tommy Andreasen stated that this season serves as "a conclusion of a 24 episode arc." this may mean that any loose ends left open at the end of "Green Destiny" will be concluded by the end of these four episodes.
 * Though Tommy Andreasen doesn't personally consider March of the Oni a season, it is officially recognized as Season 10.
 * March of the Oni is planned to be released early 2019.
 * On July 15, 2018, Tommy Andreasen tweeted a sneak peek image for Ninjago's storyline in 2019. It was revealed in full detail during San Diego Comic Con on July 22, 2018, and will be about Jay proposing to Nya.
 * Tommy Andreasen stated that Jay's proposal to Nya may not have to do with marriage.
 * Tommy Andreasen stated that episode 97 is "the most intense episode in the series yet." He also stated that episode 97 is his favorite.
 * When asked for spoilers, Tommy Andreasen ominously replied with, ". . . one ninja will fall. . . ." He also stated "... one ninja will make a fatal mistake ..." and "... one director will try to downplay just how much pain those dear ninja will have to endure ..."
 * He also stated that "one ninja will hold the fate of Ninjago in his hands."

 * Dareth is set to appear in this season.
 * The final episode of Hunted, "Green Destiny," hints that future villains will most likely be the Oni, as Lloyd believes they are coming. It was confirmed in the new trailer that the Oni are indeed coming.
 * A clip was released (in its early animation) of Jay practicing asking out Nya with Kai in the Monastery of Spinjitzu. It is revealed through the clip that the emblem is what Jay uses to ask Nya to be his "Yang."
 * The original Monastery is as good as new in the clip, despite being burned down by the Hypnobrai in Season 1 and again accidentally by Kai in Season 7.
