Fugi-Dove is a self-proclaimed villain and a former inmate at Kryptarium Prison. He helped Ultra Violet and the Mechanic escape prison. He is a supposed supervillain and told a story involving the ninja. He was captured by P.I.X.A.L., who says that he has no criminal record.
When Unagami broke out all the Kryptarium inmates, a rejected Fugi-Dove simply went off to feed pigeons before being captured by Ronin.
One year later, when Samurai X and Dareth freed the ninja from prison, Fugi-Dove stowed away and joined them. The group made their way to Twitchy Tim's gas station, where Fugi-Dove valiantly gave himself up to the police to allow Jay and the other ninja to escape.
Fugi-Dove later broke out again, along with Ultra Violet, Killow and Ronin, all of whom rescue P.I.X.A.L. and a dismantled Zane before getting them to Cyrus Borg for repairs. He fought among the Resistance, which ended in victory.
At some point several years after the Merge, Fugi-Dove ended up stuck in a tree in the Crossroads.
History[]
Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu[]
The Absolute Worst[]
Fugi-Dove found Ultra Violet and the Mechanic in the sewer in the process of escaping Kryptarium Prison, talking about which ninja is the worst before he made his presence known, even becoming confused at his name. They decide to pass the time by sharing stories about their hated ninja. For Ultra Violet, it was Zane, whom she tried to fight one on one with, even though Fugi-Dove knew the truth.
For the Mechanic, it was Nya, who stole his truck after defeating him, even though Fugi-Dove knew she was too kind to do such a thing.
When it came to his turn, Fugi-Dove stated it was Jay, and makes up a story about how he had just robbed the Ninjago City Bank, easily took down Lloyd, Kai, and Cole before Jay showed up, riding on Lightning in Fugi-Dove's opinion, and took him down before tying him up, in conjured lightning rope in Fugi-Dove's opinion again. The two easily disbelieve him, but they manage to find a grate and escape the prison, only for them all to be captured by Samurai X, who was confused by his presence and doesn't find a criminal record on him before taking him, the Mechanic, and Ultra Violet back to Kryptarium.
Prime Empire[]
Level Thirteen[]
When Unagami breaks out all of the prisoners and The Mechanic offered Ultra Violet and Captain Soto a place in Unagami's army, Fugi-Dove asks if he could join, only to end up rejected. When they reach Borg Tower to find the original Prime Empire game cabinet, Ultra Violet reprimands The Mechanic for not bringing Fugi-Dove along, as he could 'fly' all the way to the top, unaware that he is exploring the city, leaving any passerby uneasy around him. While trying to find a way to get past a drone, Soto asks if they could call Fugi-Dove, unaware that he was feeding pigeons.
The Prodigal Father[]
When Master Wu is looking at security cameras, he finds Fugi-Dove feeding pigeons.
The Island[]
Uncharted[]
A news article shows that Fugi-Dove was feeding pigeons in a park when he had been captured by Ronin after a seemingly long time.
Crystalized[]
Hounddog McBrag[]
Fugi-Dove was among the prisoners to trash detail, where he started to talk with his 'nemesis' Jay, who was confused at who he was, even when he tried to get him to remember, which he does not at all. While on the ride, Fugi-Dove tries to make conversation with Jay about their 'rivalry', even attempting to come up with a name for him when the bus stopped to help an 'old man.' It turned out to be a diversion as Samurai X soon broke Jay and the other Ninja out. While in their getaway vehicle, Fugi-Dove had somehow stowed away in their provided clothes and started to lecture Jay on criminal ways, annoying him. After the engine blew a piston, the Ninja attempted to lose Fugi-Dove, who managed to follow them to keep lecturing Jay, and during their plan to split up and reach Twitchy Tim's gas station, went with Jay, who became extremely annoyed at his bird calls.
The Fifth Villain[]
Still heading to the gas station, Fugi-Dove keeps 'lecturing' Jay, as well as coming up with the name, 'BlueJay' as his criminal name. Upon reaching the road, Fugi-Dove then got out a bottle of water he smuggled to empty and throw the bottle aside to litter, shocking Cole before the former revealed he is waiting for his invitation into the Council of the Crystal King, giving Lloyd an idea. Reaching the gas station, and reuniting with Kai, Zane, and Dareth, they start to plan to target who they believe would be next before agreeing on the Mechanic. Hearing the police and Hounddog McBrag arriving and with no room behind the counter, Fugi-Dove took Jay behind a shelf, until Twitchy inadequately revealed the others' location before telling Jay he'll hold them off and throws him in the back room. He then pushed the shelves down and made his presence known before jumping on top of McBrag before telling the others to run while he is pounced on by the other officers and immediately arrested afterwards.
After The Fifth Villain[]
Fugi-Dove was sent back to Kryptarium Prison.
Return of the Ice Emperor[]
Fugi-Dove, along with Ultra Violet, Killow and Ronin escape Kryptarium Prison when the power went out before Ronin convinced them to help save Ninjago, and made Fugi-Dove cry for mentioning making their mothers proud. Seizing a bus, the group rescues P.I.X.A.L. and a dismantled Zane before taking them to Borg Tower, during which Fugi-Dove claimed he was the one that convinced them, only to be chewed by Ultra Violet, who tells P.I.X.A.L. the truth.
Compatible[]
Upon receiving one of Cyrus Borg's mechs, Fugi-Dove began to call himself Mecha-Dove, but as he used his mech, accidentally destroys Cyrus' screen. Later, when P.I.X.A.L. was able to get the reassembled Zane to wake up, Fugi-Dove began to cry, but doesn't admit it to Ultra Violet when she saw him.
An Issue of Trust[]
Fugi-Dove, Ronin, Killow, and Ultra Violet met up with the Resistance at the newspaper warehouse. During the final battle, Fugi-Dove and the other members of the Resistance charge at the crystal army.
Dragon Form[]
Fugi-Dove, along with the Resistance, tries to hold of the Crystal Warriors. Fugi-Dove does not get crystalized though. Fugi-Dove cheer the Ninja when they unlock their Dragon Form.
Roots[]
Fugi-Dove helps rebuild the monastery, though he plays with some roof shingles.
After Roots[]
After the monastery was rebuilt, Fugi-Dove was presumably pardoned, due to his efforts in the Final Battle, or continued serving his sentence in Kryptarium Prison until he was paroled prior to the Merge.
Dragons Rising, Season 2[]
The Blood Moon (screen)[]
Fugi-Dove somehow ends up stuck in a tree before Kai tries to help the former down, but he refuses by flapping a wing at Kai.
Other appearances and mentions[]
Ninjago Confidential[]
Fugi-Dove is mentioned by his brother when he accuses Zane and P.I.X.A.L. of being the ones responsible for locking him up at Kryptarium Prison. However, P.I.X.A.L. didn't know who he was talking about.
Appearance[]
Fugi-Dove is mainly seen is his striped prison uniform, slightly torn in certain places, as he has spent most of his time at Kryptarium Prison. He wears a mask resembling a bird type figure as well as using white wings as his arms.

- Adrian Petriw stated that he was imprisoned for "too many unpaid parking tickets."[4]
- This committed crime makes it similar to Moe De Luca from the video game LEGO City Undercover.
