Death is the fate that awaits most living beings throughout the realms, whether through a premature end or the ravages of time. It is the separation of the soul from the body, after which the soul may pass into another realm, such as the Departed Realm.

Realms of the deceased[]
In the Sixteen Realms parallel to Ninjago, there were a total of three known realms for the dead to continue to dwell after their passing. Of the three, the Departed Realm seems to be where the dead are naturally meant to go, as when a being who was sent to the other two is destroyed, their spirit will move on to the Departed Realm.
- Departed Realm (possibly for all denizens of all Realms)[9]
- Cursed Realm (for those whose souls are cursed)
- Underworld (for fallen warriors who were disgraced in battle, and don't accept or realize their passing)
Returning to life[]
Death can also be thwarted, but the ways that this can be accomplished are generally considered immoral, as it goes against the natural order of the world. Likewise, the consequences of such methods can prove too dire or even worse than death itself. These are some ways that have been used to defy death:
- Resurrection with the help of Higher Powers (resurrection by the forces of someone who has incredible power: First Spinjitzu Master or The Overlord)
- Resurrectea (temporary postponement of death, requires the deceased individual's body to be present to ingest it)
- Rift of Return (requires powerful magic from the Yin-Yang Eclipse to sustain; once every 3,721 years)
- The power of the Yin Blade (places victim into a state of ghost-like limbo; destroyed)
- Being wished into the body of another living being by a Djinn King (possession of another person)
- Killing one's murderer (or one closely associated with the circumstances that caused their death) with a Departed Blade
- Escaping from the Cursed Realm or Underworld (escapee is left in an undead state of being, either skeletal or cursed; Cursed Realm destroyed)
- Resurrection by the Mega Weapon (massive energy toll on user required; destroyed)
- Reversing time on the corpse of the deceased (can be negated by Tomorrow's Tea)
- Escape from the Departed Realm (requires a massive amount of catalyzed magic to sustain indefinitely)
- Imprisonment in the Djinn Blade (indefinite, unconscious limbo for all eternity)
- Oni Masks (when they are united; exclusive to those with Oni blood; two masks destroyed)
- Necromancy
- Skull of Hazza D'ur (can resurrect skeletons that obey their necromancer; destroyed)
- Within the Prime Empire video game world
- Respawning (only three times)
Appearances[]
Trivia[]
- Although no skeletons have been released since 2015 that have arms with ball and socket joints which allowed them to move all the way out to the side and all the way around, all skeletons in Ninjago have hands made this way, except the Skulkin and Re-Awakened, who use a newer version of the hands. The reason for preserving the original hands is probably that the skeletons can be in better and more diverse positions.
- Interestingly, although all the other skeletons in the show have the same design as the real LEGO skeletons, the Fangpyre skeleton in "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and Anacondrai skeletons in "Never Trust a Snake" look like real skeletons, although in "Green and Gold" it turns out that Serpentine has the same skeletons as humans.
- Whatever race they are, any deceased individual's soul will go reside in the Departed Realm for eternity. However they can be intercepted on their way to the Realm of the Departed or even resurrected by greater beings as seen with Lloyd and Harumi.
