History
Way of the Ninja
Master Wu uses the staff to attack Samukai and save Kai. He later used it to activate the training course in the monastery.
The Titanium Ninja
Wu used his staff to "thread the needle" to get the shrinking pill to The Overlord. However, this plan failed as Pythor ate it instead.
Winds of Change
After possessing Lloyd, Morro goes to Steep Wisdom tea shop looking for Master Wu and the Staff. After a battle between the ninja and Wu, the staff is dropped over some dust, revealing the engraved symbols. Both Wu and Morro are surprised at this, and the struggle continues. Master Wu manages to retrieve the staff, and he, the ninja, and Nya escape on the Destiny's Bounty.
Ghost Story
Morro chases the Destiny's Bounty on his Dragon to get the staff back. He lands on the ship and attacks the ninja. While Jay, Cole, and Nya (as Samurai X) try to fend him off, Wu, Kai, and Zane brought it to their quarters in an attempt to print the symbols on parchment paper. However, despite their efforts, Morro gains the staff and flies it away. Luckily, Wu managed to make an imprint of the message before giving up the staff, which is later deciphered by Misako, who reveals that the first symbol means "Airjitzu."
Later that night, Morro walks into a bar, where he lays out the staff on some chalk, revealing the symbols. He then summons Wrayth, who may have helped him figure out the first symbol.
The Temple on Haunted Hill
Morro reviews the second symbol on the staff, and summons Ghoultar and Bansha to help him decipher it.
Peak-a-Boo
After learning Airjitzu, the ninja draw their attention to the second clue, a sword in some clouds , which is revealed to be the Sword of Sanctuary.
The Crooked Path
The ninja see that the last symbol refers to the First Spinjitzu Master's tomb.
Grave Danger
The ninja, Morro, and his Ghost Warriors go to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master. After the ninja complete the first challenge, the second challenge appears to be to obtain the First Spinjitzu Master's other staff. They try extremely hard to get it but no matter how hard they try, it is impossible. Then Cole realizes that they have to think about the clue, "A Spinjitzu Master cannot," meaning that since they are all Spinjitzu Masters, they were never meant to get the staff.
Appearance
Bo staff is a sand-brown bamboo staff with a slightly enlarged section near one end. Since Season 11, Wu has been using a new staff that is made of a different darker wood, it has not enlarged one end and there is a white fabric in the middle of the staff for a more comfortable grip. There are notches around the perimeter at both ends of the staff.
In the sets, the staff is brown without an enlarged one end, although on one side of the staff is a thicker part. In 71702 Golden Mech, the staff is sand-brown color to look more like its counterpart in the show.
Techno Wu uses bo staff made of black wood or metal with red markings.

When you don't have the words, use a Really Big stick to get your point across. It may not be pretty, but - POW - it works. It's very effective, 'cause no one likes to get hit with a Really Big Stick.[link unavailable]
2012
Some weapons just never go out of style. Sensei Wu swears by the ancient Nin-jô. Simple and classic, this staff knows no limits in the hands of the trained Ninja.[link unavailable]

Trivia
- A bo staff comes with Master Garmadon in the Ninja DBX set, but he is never seen in the carrying one in Season 4. He also wields one in the Monastery Mural.
- A bo staff is also used in The LEGO Ninjago Movie where it also serves as a flute.
- Although originally designed as a weapon, it is sometimes used as a walking stick.
- In 71702 Golden Mech, bo staff is a sand-brown color that more closely matches its counterpart in the show where it's a bamboo staff. In all other sets, however, the staff is of the usual brown color, even in later sets.
- At Monastery Mural, Garmadon's staff is the same as in the sets, although his staff is bamboo staff in the show.
- However, during the duel of Garmadon and Wu in "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", Garmadon used the staff that is included in the sets.
- In Season 11, Wu turns out to have at least three spare staffs.[4]
- In 71718 Wu's Battle Dragon, the staff is changed to consist of two short sticks that are connected by a gun-metal handle. This staff probably represents Wu's staff from Season 11, although the handle is gun-metal and not white.
- A bo staff is available in brown, sand-brown, black, white and gold color.
- A bo staff is the name of the same staff in real life.
- The martial art with bo staff is called Stick-fighting.

- As shown in The Island, Wu can place his staff under the cape on his back, just as the ninja can place weapons on their backs.
- According to Ninjago Magazine,[5] Wu upgraded his staff in the Realm of Oni and Dragons by adding gold handles and dragon teeth. This staff never appeared in the show, but appears in 891945 Young Wu.
