Designer's notes[]
"Katana v11 is the first model i designed by myself. A transforming attack speedboat! I stared at the bricks for a few days just trying to figure out where to start building a speedboat. I don't remember making one even as a kid. In the end it turned out nice if i say so myself!"[2]
Trivia[]
- Luke Cunningham is exclusive to this set.
- Kai's Resistance minifigure is exclusive to this set, because the one released in 891842 Kai, which comes in one issue of the Ninjago Magazine, came with the mask without the symbol.
- This is the only Sons of Garmadon set to not include an Oni Mask, the collectible item for the season. This is possibly explained by the fact that this set is one of the cheaper sets of this wave.
- This is Kai's sixth vehicle. His first is his Blade Cycle, the second being the Fire Mech, his third being the Kai Fighter, the fourth being the X-1 Ninja Charger, and his fifth being his other bike.
- This set is only seen in the episode "Dread on Arrival."
- The set depicts this vehicle as a speedboat, however, the vehicle in the series is a submarine.
- In the set animation, Kai's armor is gold rather than gun metal gray.
