He said it was to protect Ninjago from the Oni, but pretty sure he would have done that anyway just because. Ninjago's had a pretty good track record with more complex villains for a few years.

Chen was a manipulator who was all about control and influence tactics; Morro was out for revenge on Wu and also wanted to prove his competence; Nadakhan was probably the most complex of all, starting out wanting to rebuild his homeworld and create a home for his family, while getting vengeance on Ninjago, before being corrupted by greed and his desire to resurrect his wife; and Harumi was once again out for revenge coupled with a fetish-y idolization of Garmadon.
