- This article is about the Elemental Masters. For the music groups, see Forbidden Five (music group).
The Forbidden Five (or simply known as the Five) were a group of five corrupted Elemental Masters from the Wyldness and the founders of the Wolf Clan. Upon their discovery of Thunderfang's Chaos, they enabled it to cultivate diverse powers and gain their elements, which led them to embrace a dark path, resulting in widespread destruction within their home realm due to their corruption.
Before they set their destruction on the other Realms of Creation, they were defeated by Egalt and Rontu and banished to the Nether-Space. After thousands of years, Lord Ras tried to free them during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, succeeding only in releasing Nokt while Rox's soul managed to escape and possess Jordana. After the final game of the Tournament of the Sources concluded, Nokt succeeded in freeing the rest of the Forbidden Five. They escaped through a portal gate to the Cloud Kingdom and destroyed it, which allowed them to enter a different realm where they could not be pursued so that they may regain their strength. After recovering, gathering supplies, and heading to the First Land, where they made a deal with Thunderfang, the Forbidden Five started their hunt for the Prismatic Blades which would help free the Shatter Dragon, working alongside the Dragonian Trackers. By doing this, the group aimed to gain the power they desire from Thunderfang, intending to unleash chaos across the Merged Lands. However, the Shatter Dragon betrayed them by absorbing their souls, resulting in their death. Following the defeat of Thunderfang, the dying dragon reabsorbed their souls while the rest moved on from the Merged Realms. Thunderfang would later use the Five to drain souls across the Merged Realms in his campaign to become one of the Source Dragons.
Despite some setbacks, the Five gather enough souls for Thunderfang's ritual and watched their master become a Source Dragon. When Thunderfang sensed the Ninja were near the resting places where the two halves of the Arc Dragon of Focus were in, he sent the Five to stop the Ninja from waking his eternal enemy. However, neither the Five and Thunderfang were aware that Lloyd and Arin were nearby with the Unbidden Storm to use when the two halves were awakened. Zarkt and Kur were sent to the Cave of Bells in both Djinjago and Mysterium to break the focus crystal connected to the Arc Dragon. However, Zarkt was eventually defeated by Jay, and Kur by Riyu.
Following Thunderfang's defeat in the Spectral Lands by the Arc Dragon of Focus, the Five's souls disappeared, along with the Spectral Dragonians and their master.
History
Background
The Forbidden Five formed millennia ago as a result of the takeover of the Order of the Deep Shadow, which was orchestrated by Nokt while he was still a normal Wyldness dweller.[3] After taking control, Nokt, his sister Rox, and Zarkt met Drix and Kur, other Wyldness dwellers from other tribes,[4] and united, with the wolf siblings as their leaders.[1] At some point, the Five would be chosen by Thunderfang to receive his dragon energy.[5] Despite Chaos being beyond their comprehension,[6] the Five used it to develop new powers and abilities such as their own Elemental Powers and Shatterspin, a corrupted and advanced variation of Spinjitzu, and also became familiar with Theroxian culture, infusing it with Chaos energy to use powerful magic. The Forbidden Five quickly became an unbeatable alliance, surpassing all traditional Elemental Masters. They later founded the Wolf Clan,[7] allowing them to pass on their ideologies, knowledge, techniques, and notably the importance of strength to their followers. They decided to share Chaos with the wolf warriors by infusing it into Wolf Masks forged by Rox[6] and foretold the coming of a child with the spark of Elemental Mastery.[8] However, the Five's overconfidence got the best of them as the dark power of Chaos slowly corrupted them, making the group agents of destruction.[9] Their amplified skills in combat and mysticism allowed them to wreak havoc on the Wyldness, nearly wiping it out completely.[7][10]
Unsatisfied with just one realm, the Forbidden Five set their sights on the destruction of all the realms,[11] mercilessly eliminating anyone who oppose them, even other Elemental Masters.[12] However, before the Five could invade the other realms, Egalt and Rontu utilized Rising Dragon to counter Shatterspin, resulting in the renegade group's defeat. Through the employment of a magical spell crafted by Gandalaria, the Dragon Masters banished the Forbidden Five to the Nether-Space.[12][9] In order to erase any trace of their existence, the Dragon Masters imprisoned all remnants of their legacy; including the Wolf Masks, Mallet and Gong of Shattering, and Theroxian scrolls; within the confines of the Shadow Dojo.[13] At some point before the rise of the Blood Moon, some Theroxian scrolls made their way to the Cloud Kingdom archives.
Dragons Rising, Season 2
The Five sensing the Blood Moon approaching, which will give them the opportunity to escape the Nether-Space.
Aiming to harness the immense power of the Merged Realms for his master to control, Ras decided to perform the Ritual of the Blood Moon in order to release the Forbidden Five from their imprisonment, substituting them with five Writers of Destiny in Nether-Space. Ras intended to have the Forbidden Five participate in the Tournament of the Sources as competitors.[14] However, the ninja managed to free the Writers of Destiny, forcing Ras to push Kai into the portal, freeing Nokt. Despite Ras' efforts, the ninja thwarted the Wolf Clan's plans to release the remaining members. Unbeknownst to both sides however, Rox escaped by possessing Jordana just moments before the portal sealed shut. In a turn of events, Nokt, feeling betrayed by Ras' failure to release his associates, retaliated against him, leading to a confrontation between the two. Ultimately, Ras was able to overpower Nokt and force him into submission by using an electric device, asserting his dominance over the alliance.[15]
With three of the Five still imprisoned, Nokt and Rox's soul conspired to free them.
With Rox's soulless body abandoned in the Nether-Space and having established a psychic link with the Merged Realms, Zarkt, Drix, and Kur used it to contact both Nokt and Rox. They crafted a plan aimed at liberating the remaining members so they could persist in their destructive quest.[16] To achieve this goal, Nokt and Rox killed three Arc Dragons and seized their crowns so they could have enough Dragon Ivory, which they stored at the Monastery of Gates located in the City of Temples. Additionally, they required a vast array of Elemental Powers, leading Nokt to enter the Tournament of the Sources, as Ras had planned, where he would compete against other Elemental Masters, including the ninja.[10]
Meanwhile, Kai and Bonzle were on the run from the other members of the Forbidden Five, knowing their lives would be at risk if the three realized they were stuck in the Nether-Space with them.[17] After a few days, Nokt triumphed in the tournament thanks to Bleckt, who had rigged most of the matches to guarantee the Wolf Clan's victory. When Roby learned of the manipulated outcomes, he tried to call off the ceremony, but Nokt was quicker, launching an attack and claiming all the elemental powers held within the Elemental Cup.[10]
With enough Elemental Powers now in their grasp, Nokt and Rox turned against Ras, who attempted to fight back by commanding Cinder and the wolf warriors to launch an attack, but Rox corrupted them, unlocking their true strength.[10] Nokt managed to liberate the other members and Rox's spirit was returned to her body, although the process left the others physically drained and unconscious due to the corruptive method of their release. As they slowly regained consciousness, Nokt fought against the ninja and Ras to buy them some time to recover. Ultimately, after Nokt was defeated and stripped of the powers he had taken, all five members escaped through a portal gate to the Cloud Kingdom, taking Ras along with them. They destroyed the gate behind them, ensuring they were sent to another realm to evade pursuit.[18][19]
Dragons Rising, Season 3
The Five meet Thunderfang who gave them his dragon energy and developed evil powers.
The Five eventually recovered and attacked a pair of Crossroad citizens to steal their supplies before heading to the First Land to release Thunderfang. Once they arrived in the First Land, the group terrorized the Storm Village, which was inhabited by the peaceful Dragonians. When Nokt found the entrance, the Five went in, where they found Thunderfang had been expecting them, much to their confusion. Thunderfang comments that their entitlement and ego remind him of his younger self, correctly guessing the Five came to him with a "deal" to cut his chains so he can give them more of his power. The Shatter Dragon agreed to their "deal" and gave them the Sobrient Stone to help on their quest to find the five Prismatic Blades. Taking the Sobrient Stone, Nokt shatters it, releasing its dark energies to corrupt the Dragonians into an army to aid in their quest as well as granting the Five the ability to fly. The corrupted Dragonians also gained the ability to sense Prismatic Steel.
Each of the Five went after a Prismatic Blade, but after they freed Thunderfang, he betrayed them.
Each of the Five led several Dragonian Warriors to a Prismatic Blade, Nokt finding the Red Prismatic Blade in the Freebooters's prison train, Rox finding the Green Prismatic Blade at the Algae farmers' village, and Kur finding the shattered Yellow Prismatic Blade at the City of Temples. At the same time, Zarkt tracked the Blue Prismatic Blade in the First Land but found it in the possession of Lloyd and his students. The Master of Misfortune was ultimately unsuccessful in getting the blade when Zanth, Zane, and P.I.X.A.L. arrived, forcing him to retreat. Rox reprimanded Zarkt for his failure but after seeing Kur arrive with the shattered Yellow Prismatic Blade, she went to find the last djinn, Arrakore to use his Wish Magic to fix the blade. Arrakore refused to help so Rox trapped him in a timepiece, but the Ninja arrived to free him though not before the Master of Fear forced him to fix the Yellow Prismatic Blade. Drix went hunting for the final Prismatic Blade, which was owned by Ras. Tracking the final blade to the World Forest, Drix fought the Ninja and Ras and managed to claim the Blue and Returning Blades, including Ras as a bonus. The Master of Swarm headed to the First Land, where Thunderfang's prison is located but the Ninja beat him due to using the portal gates. Drix managed to fight off the Ninja but sent an insect to contact the rest of the Five. The Five managed to claim the last two blades to cut Thunderfang's chains. When the group demanded the powers he promised, they were shocked when the dragon revealed that he had no intentions of keeping his word before draining their souls, killing them and leaving their lifeless bodies in his prison. After Thunderfang's defeat, the Five's souls were reabsorbed by the Chaos Dragon as he lay dying while the other souls he reaped either moved on or returned to their own bodies.
Under Thunderfang's control, the Five absorbed souls throughout the Merged Lands.
Sometime after Thunderfang's defeat, the Five were transformed into hollowed ghosts tasked with stealing souls throughout the Merged Lands. Each of the Five went to a section in the Merged Lands. Kur drew the attention of Arin and Sora, who were with Ras in Mysterium. In the Land of Lee, Zarkt drew the attention of Lloyd, Nya, Wyldfyre, and Jay. Arin and Sora went to the Land of Lee and reunite with the other Ninja. Arin told them about the Spectral Lands and the departed Ninja Morro (unknown to Arin), who led him to the healing elixir he used to defeat Thunderfang. The Ninja went to the Spectral Lands where they saw the Five transferring the stolen souls into the Well of the Lost. The Ninja attempt to fight the Shatter Dragon, but they were chased to the Spectral Monastery by the Spectral Dragonians and made their way to the City of Temples. Elsewhere, Cole, Kai, and Frak were chasing Nokt, who stole the Finders' souls and went to Imperium to steal more. Kai and Frak manage to rescue some of the Imperians' souls using their new Reveal Blades but Cole lost his soul in battle and Thunderfang had enough souls to empower himself into a Source Dragon. As he was strengthened by the elixir in the Well of the Lost, he sensed the Ninja were near his eternal enemy, the Arc Dragon of Focus, and ordered the Five to stop them before they can wake the two halves. Unknown to the Five or Thunderfang, Lloyd and Arin were in the Spectral Lands with the Unbidden Storm, ready to use it when the halves were awakened.
While Nokt, Rox, and Drix stayed in the Spectral Lands to guard the Well of the Lost, Zarkt was sent to the Cave of Bells in Mysterium and Kur was sent to the Cave of Bells in Djinjago. Nokt, Rox, and Drix fought Lloyd and Arin, trying to take the Unbidden Storm, but they manage to use their Prismatic Ore-coated mechs to get into a cavern that leads underneath the Well of the Lost. At Mysterium’s Cave of Bells, Zarkt fought Kai, Nya, and a coconut copy of Gandalaria, where he attempted to break the cave's center focus crystals, which is connected to the Arc Dragon of Focus. Kur went to Djinjago’s Cave of Bells, where she encountered Sora, Wyldfyre, Frak, and Riyu and attempted to destroy the focus crystals there. However, the Five failed to stop the Ninja, which resulted in Thunderfang being vanquished, and their souls disappeared into the unknown.

Behind the scenes
- According to the set designers, the cloaked designs of the Forbidden Five were created because their final designs were not completed by the time Season 2 started. Instead, the designs were still in the preliminary stages at that time.[20]
- The Elemental Powers of the Forbidden Five were first written out on a glass door when the writers ran out of white board space.[21]
- All the members of the Five were originally supposed to be anthropomorphic wolves before the LEGO designers came up with the idea of Drix being an insect instead while Kur was changed to being a jackal to add more diversity. This explains why the Wolf Clan honors wolves.[22]
Trivia
The Forbidden Five's symbol
- The members of the Forbidden Five appear to mirror the original 6 ninja:
- Rox shares some similarities with both Lloyd and Nya:
- Rox's possession of Jordana may reference Delara's possession of Nya and Morro's possession of Lloyd.
- Both Rox and Nya are related to another member of their team, with Rox and Nya being Nokt and Kai's sister respectively.
- Rox's sword could be seen as a reference to Lloyd's golden dao and Nya's use of a katana in "Hands of Time".
- Both Rox and Nya are highly intelligent.
- Rox's crafting of the Wolf Masks may reference Nya's blacksmithing heritage.
- Rox's attitude is somewhat similar to Nya's.
- Both Rox and Lloyd are leaders of their respective groups (alongside Nokt).
- Rox being the shortest member of the Five could be a nod to how Lloyd used to be the shortest in his team (before he was aged up by Tomorrow's Tea).
- Nokt shares some similarities with Kai and Lloyd:
- Both Nokt and Kai have a scar on their eyebrows.
- Both Nokt and Kai are committed to their siblings.
- All three use katanas as their primary weapons, although Nokt later switched to a sword and Lloyd switched to a dao.
- Both Nokt and Kai have a sister who is also part of their team.
- Both Nokt and Kai briefly controlled a multitude of stolen elemental powers after the conclusion of a tournament.
- Both Nokt and Lloyd possessed multiple elements at some point.
- Both Nokt and Lloyd are leaders of their respective groups (alongside Rox).
- Zarkt shares some similarities with Jay:
- Both utilize chained weapons.
- Both share the same voice actor: Michael Adamthwaite.
- Zarkt's Misfortune abilities appear similar to that of Jay's Lightning.
- Zarkt and Kur tend to argue, which was first seen in "The Sword Shatters." His habit of arguing with Kur could be seen as a foil to Jay's and Cole's close friendship.
- Drix shares some similarities with Zane:
- Drix's use of sickles somewhat mirrors Zane's use of shurikens as both are the only members of their teams to use a dual pair of weaponry.
- Drix's exposed torso may reference how Zane's chest is exposed on several of his gi.
- Drix is shown to be the most focused of the group, similar to how Zane is the most focused of the Ninja.
- He is also the most relaxed member of the Forbidden Five, not taking his opponents seriously and constantly laughing instead of fighting.
- Him being the youngest of the Forbidden Five could foil how Zane is the oldest of the ninja.
- It may also reference how Zane was the youngest of the ninja in his titanium body from "Tournament of Elements" to "March of the Oni".
- Similar to how Zane is the only robot of the Ninja group, Drix is the only non-canine of the Forbidden Five.
- Kur shares some similarities with Cole:
- Kur's use of an axe mirrors Cole's use of a scythe, although the latter switched to a hammer.
- Kur's habit of arguing with Zarkt could be seen as a foil to Cole and Jay's close friendship.
- Her large use of brown could mirror how brown is associated with the element of Earth and the lack of black in her color scheme could foil how Cole is the Black ninja.
- Kur's power of Decay may somewhat reference Cole formerly being turned into a ghost.
- According to Chris "Doc" Wyatt, the parallels between the Forbidden Five and the ninja are intentional.[23]
- Rox shares some similarities with both Lloyd and Nya:
- According to Chris "Doc" Wyatt, the Forbidden Five had a mentor of sorts, who will be elaborated on later.[24]
- It is very likely that he was referring to Thunderfang.
- In most of their appearances, the Forbidden Five consistently maintain the same lineup in their primary formation: From left to right, the order is Drix, Kur, Nokt, Zarkt, and Rox. The only time where this arrangement did not change was in Shatterspin.
- In Season 3, there was a minor adjustment to their order, which became Kur, Drix, Rox, Zarkt, and Nokt.
- While there has been no reason for the switch in positions between Nokt and Rox,[25] it reflects their evolving roles in Seasons 2 and 3. In Season 2, Nokt played a larger role than Rox, whereas in Season 3, the dynamics shifted.
- In Season 3, there was a minor adjustment to their order, which became Kur, Drix, Rox, Zarkt, and Nokt.
- Before Ninjago Legends: Monstrosity, Zarkt was the only member to not share the design of his headwear with any other character in the franchise. Nokt shares the style of his hat with several other characters, most notably the Keepers; Rox shares the style of her hat with Kur; and Drix wears a straw hat similar to the ones worn by characters like Wu and Ronin; but Zarkt is the first character to wear a rōningasa, which would later be worn by the Fire Master.
- In addition, Rox and Kur are the only two who wear the same hat, while the other three each have a different hat shape.
- Kur was the only member of the Forbidden Five to not have any black in her color scheme.
- Chris "Doc" Wyatt explained that the members of the Forbidden Five belong to different tribes found in the Wyldness. This suggests that they are anthropomorphic animals, similar to the tribes seen in Chima, which is also located within the Wyldness.[4]
- Aside from Nokt and Rox, the Forbidden Five members were not biologically related.[28]
- Rox was the only member to have short legs.
- The Forbidden Five's minifigures have a few small differences than their appearances in the show:
- Nokt is represented with shoulder armor instead of a cape, his face is different, and his crotch lacks printing in the show.
- Rox shares the same difference as her brother regarding the cape and the crotch and her hat and sleeves are a slightly light shade of brown in the set.
- Zarkt's roningasa is different and has a crack in his eyes.
- Drix's hat is smaller and the creases on his robe are red instead of gray.
- Kur has light brown pants instead of dark brown.
- Even though the Forbidden Five were familiar with Shatterspin, they cannot perform traditional Spinjitzu.[29]
- When asked if all the Forbidden Five combined could create a tornado of Shatterspin, similar to the Tornado of Creation, Chris "Doc" Wyatt replied, "Yes."[30] However, when he was questioned again about it, he replied no comment.[31]
- The Forbidden Five are one of the nine main antagonists (or group of main antagonists in this case) to be from another realm, the others being the Preeminent, Nadakhan, Iron Baron, the Omega, Vex, Ras, Beatrix, and Thunderfang.
- The Forbidden Five are the sixth villains (or group of villains in this case) to appear in the show before appearing in sets, the previous being Yang, Krux, the Mechanic, Miss Demeanor, and Jordana.
- According to Chris "Doc" Wyatt, the Forbidden Five saw themselves as a unit of soldiers.[32]
- He also stated that the Five didn't always get along and simply work together because they had aligned goals.[33]
- Ras' plan to control the Forbidden Five would have involved the use of control implants in the same way he controlled Nokt.[34]
- Chris "Doc" Wyatt discussed two theories regarding the Forbidden Five. The first theory claims that the Phoenixes lifted Chima into the sky to protect it from the Forbidden Five, while the second theory suggests that the Forbidden Five overused Chi in their pursuit of power, resulting in their corrupted states. Chris "Doc" Wyatt mentioned that one of these theories has some truth to it.[35]
- Between the members, Nokt was the strongest, Rox was the smartest, and Drix was the fastest.[36]
- When asked what Zarkt and Kur brought to the team, Chris "Doc" Wyatt jokingly replied, "Style."[37]
- The Forbidden Five were established at least a decade prior to their exile.[38]
- Although Theroxian Magic is one of the known powers of the Forbidden Five, Rox was the only one seen using it. When asked if the other members could also perform magic, Chris "Doc" Wyatt explained that, theoretically, they might be able to access some form of magic. He added that everyone has friends, suggesting that friendship itself can be viewed as a unique kind of magic.[39]
- Doc Wyatt claimed that the Phoenix Tribe of the Wyldness protected their land from the Forbidden Five during the years in which they conquered the realm.[40]
- Drix was the youngest and Kur was the oldest, though they were all roughly the same age.[41]
- However, there was a slight age difference of just a couple of years between Nokt and Rox.[42]
- The sons of the First Spinjitzu Master, at their prime, are likely comparable to the Forbidden Five. However, it is uncertain if they would win a direct confrontation due to being outnumbered.[43]
- Out of all the Forbidden Five, Drix is the only one to have more than one minifigure design variant, having one canon and two non-canon designs.
- Out of all the Forbidden Five, Zarkt is the only one who never interacted with Ras.
