So, It has been theorized by many that The Oni are coming to Ninjago in Season 10. However, how are the Ninja going to combat those that become stronger the more they are fought? (Besides 10000 silent fists.) The answer is probably stronger elemental powers, because, if you can OHK something,they cannot become stronger, because they are dead. (Maybe?) Another Idea: Lloyd gets his Golden Power back, because one of the listed ability’s of it is Power Removal. Or Lloyd would use Golden Power to annhilate a bunch of Oni. But... besides that, I have realized something. In Season 9, Garmadon tells Harumi that there is an impending doom/darkness coming. However, how is Garmadon keeping them at bay? Easy. The Balance. (Between good and evil.) People have talked about the Overlord and Onis for a time now. However, I have an idea. The balance isn’t something that came with Ninjago suddenly, or something that came from the first realm. It’s a interrealm force. That’s why there are ONIS and dragons. That’s why there can Be realms ENTIRELY overrun by evil. (Realm of Madness) and why every season there is a new antagonist. (Except season 3, but more on that later) Because for every good, there MUST be evil. Power levels change too. One complaint I have seen is that in Season 8 it seems ridiculous that The Ninja could be fighting a biker gang and losing. Well, my theory is that the Ninja’s powers scaled down in order to make sure the Sons Of Garmadon could challenge them. (Or, alternatively, nothing had to be changed, because the Sons of Garmadon would eventually acquire the Oni Masks.) In season 5, Nya unlocked her Water Potential JUST in time to drown the Preeminent. (And, in episode 7, had JUST enough power to hold up a wave to protect the Destiny’s Bounty from the ghosts.) In season 2, The Overlord is uber powerful, so Lloyd gets to unlock his Golden Power to defeat them. In Season 3, Lloyd gets his powers taken from a robot snake,(who we never see again.) and the question I thought was “why could a snake deposed Lloyd so easily?” The answer aside from the obvious symbolism (He didn’t expect it, he got surprised from behind BY A SNAKE.) Was the Balance (The forces of good had to be depowered to match the forces of evil.) And later, the Golden Master was destroyed by ZANE. (Zane’s element Ice, was one of the Constituents Of Golden Power, making it very weak in comparison.) Zane was able to absorb the Golden Power because, the forces of evil were depowered. So, to sum up, The Balance is why the Oni are coming (Not enough darkness to balance out the good.), and why the heroes and the villains seem to flunctuate in power.
