Endless Sea | Nyad |
The Endless Sea (also known as the Endless Ocean[1] or the Great Ocean[2]) is the sea that surrounds every island and landmass in the realm of Ninjago. The sea existed long before the First Spinjitzu Master created the land of Ninjago, and that was where Wojira terrorized the sea-life with the full power of Wave and Storm. Wojira was then defeated by Nyad and a few millennia later she was defeated by Nya. Because of this, they both had to merge with the sea.
After the Merge, some of the water from the ocean got mixed with red water from another realm.
Features[]
The Endless Sea features many fish and other water creatures, including eels, jellyfish, sharks, Ripper Sharks, whales, manta rays, starteeth, Leviathans, Fangfish and Wojira. It also used to be a safe haven for pirates, including Captain Soto and Nadakhan.
The depth of the sea varies drastically. At some points, the water is shallow enough to reach the bottom in a moment.[3] Other areas such as Hollow's Trench are deep enough to sink creatures as large as the Preeminent.[4] The Tartarus Trench is the deepest point in the sea. Near the trench, there is an underwater kingdom of Merlopia, home of the Merlopian race.
An Elemental Master of Water can merge with the Endless Sea. However, this act is semi-permanent, and separation is nigh impossible without draining the user of all their elemental power temporarily.
History[]
Prior to the series[]
After leaving from the Realm of Oni and Dragons, the First Spinjitzu Master went to find a new home. Once he did, he found a realm of a vast ocean that was inhabited by a sea spirit named Wojira, who used her amulets to plunge the world into unending chaos with complete control of the Endless Sea and the violent thunderstorms plaguing it. Allying with Nyad, the first Elemental Master of Water, the First Spinjitzu Master lead an alliance of the Merlopians and the islanders to battle against Wojira that lasted for nine days straight. Making a final stand on the ninth day, Nyad merged herself with the Endless Sea to pry the two amulets from Wojira's head, causing her to fall into a deep sleep while the Endless Sea became calm and peaceful for thousands of years.[5]
Two hundred years before present day, the Endless Sea was plagued by pirates during a turbulent era of piracy and plunder; the two most infamous crews being of Captain Soto of the Destiny's Bounty and Nadakhan the djinn of the Misfortune's Keep. Soto's and Nadakhan's crews would clash during a sea battle which ended with Nadakhan being trapped in a teapot and his crew marooned across the other realms.[6] Soto and his crew would later met their ends on a failed expedition for the fabled Dark Island when No-Eyed Pete crashed into Ninjago's shores and sank their ship.[7]

By using a boat that resembled Wojira to travel to the island, Ronin and the escaped criminals tricked the Keepers into giving them their money and resources every week.[8]
While trying to find Wojira's resting place, Kalmaar discovered that Wojira was in a temple at the Tartarus Trench and told his father about it, but was forbidden to go there by his father. Ignoring his father, Kalmar got Benthomaar to swim through there by tricking him that he wanted to make a fresh start.[9]
Once they went to the Tartarus Trench, Benthomaar and Kalmaar swam passed the vents and eels and made it to the Temple of Wojira. However, Kalmaar revealed to him that all he said before was a lie and told him to go.[9] Eventually, Kalmaar later stole the Wave Amulet from the other Merlopians, allowing Wojira to regain possession of it.[10]

Trivia[]
- The Endless Sea caused the demise of multiple characters.
- The Preeminent's drowning caused the Cursed Realm's destruction, which resulted in the deaths of the Anacondrai Cultists (with the exception of Clouse) and Garmadon.
- The Ghost Warriors were dissolved.
- Her drowning also caused the destruction of Djinjago and all of the djinns (except for Nadakhan and Arrakore).
- Deepstone is found and mined at the bottom of the sea.
- The name suggests that Ninjago and the Dark Island, apart from smaller islands scattered around, were the only landmasses on the planet until The Merge.
- According to Tommy Andreasen, it’s possible that there is life outside of the known islands of Ninjago, due to the unknown nature of the Endless Sea.[12]
- According to Tommy Andreasen, the Police Commissioner, Tommy, and Simon were able to get back to Ninjago and escape the sharks from "The Last Resort" with the help of giant sea turtles in the Endless Sea.[11]
- The King of Merlopia is also known as the ruler of the Endless Sea, which means that Merlopia claims control of the entire ocean, not just the territory where most Merlopians live.
