Trivia

 * Technically, all of the Ninja have the title "Master," as they are all Masters of an element.
 * This was shown in the episode "Corridor of Elders," when Arcturus identified Lloyd as "Master of Energy."
 * Every single member of the team has fought against their allies at some point:
 * Garmadon was turned evil in his childhood by the Great Devourer.
 * Rocky, Flame, Wisp, and Shard protected the Golden Weapons from the Ninja.
 * Lloyd was a minor antagonist in Season 1.
 * Cole was hypnotized by Skales.
 * Nya, Cole, Jay, and Zane were corrupted by Dark Matter (although the last three were only briefly corrupted before Lloyd undid the effects).
 * P.I.X.A.L. and Sensei Wu was controlled by The Overlord.
 * Skylor was working for Chen.
 * Kai was corrupted by the Staff of Elements.
 * Ronin was the major antagonist in "Shadow of Ronin," and betrayed the Ninja in "The Crooked Path."
