WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOLLOW FOR THE LATEST NINJAGO EPISODES

So as many of you probably know, in the current season of Ninjago many different characters were banished to the Cursed Realm. But there's a question that's been floating around: what happened to everyone who was sent there? Chen, Clouse, Garmadon, and every one of the Anacondrai Cultists met their fates as they entered the Realm. We can all agree that anyone who has been sent there is banished, but are the characters deceased or alive? I'm here to deliver a fairly significant answer.

As of now, it is being said that all the characters are banished and possibly deceased as well. To start this off, we'll look at Episode 42, "Day of the Dragon", where Garmadon staged a final battle against Clouse. Near the end of the clash, Clouse opens up the Cursed Realm to imprison Garmadon, to which the sensei remarks, "You coward! Letting dead generals do your dirty work!" The dead generals include Arcturus and the other original Anacondrai Generals that were banished to the Realm following the Serpentine War. Knowing this, we can see that as a result of them being sent to the Realm, they are deceased. In this case, "deceased" would mean that they are ghosts, as we saw Arcturus and the other generals in Episode 44, "The Corridor of Elders". However, being ghosts, they are able to speak with the outside world, as we saw Arcturus speaking with Lloyd in the same episode as well.

We can conclude that Arcturus and the other generals died as a result of being sent to the Cursed Realm. If you're unsure of this concept still, think of Garmadon's quote in Episode 42. He hasn't seen the generals after their imprisonment, and this means that he probably knows that being sent to the Realm means you die/become a ghost. That being said, we can understand what happens to those who are sent there: they become ghosts and are thereby classified as "deceased".

In conclusion, I believe that based on some small pieces of information from the latest season of Ninjago, we can confirm that Garmadon and all of the Anacondrai Cultists are deceased. Feel free to post your thoughts and opinions below.
