True that. Also, I'm pretty sure it is the villians original souls. All the souls would be in the departed realm because they can't go to the cursed realm cause that was destroyed. Meaning that Chen (who was there) would go to the departed realm. And while Robots don't normally have souls, it could be different in Ninjago.

That begs the question, does Zane have a soul?

And it would make a lot more sense if it were the original souls.

Those are just my thoughts.
