Darkness

Darkness (sometimes referred to as Shadow) is an element in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. It is the second of the two strongest elements in Ninjago, generally associated with the color dark purple, the opposite of Golden Power, and the source of all evil in Ninjago, including the Overlord. Darkness may be related to other elements Shadow and Destruction, which might explain the confusion of the name.

Appearances
In "Weapons of Destiny," Lord Garmadon revealed that he sought the Golden Weapons not to conquer Ninjago, but to escape The Underworld and find a means to control the combined power of the four weapons. When Samukai was overwhelmed by the weapons' power and transformed into a portal, Garmadon used it to travel to a dimension where Darkness had overcome the Light.

In "The Stone Army," Misako explained that Darkness came about as a natural counterbalance to Light, and the Overlord was its main manifestation. When the First Spinjitzu Master separated Ninjago into two halves, most of the Darkness (including the Overlord and his army) were trapped on what would come to be known as the Island of Darkness.
