- Not to be confused with Energy, another power with similar properties also used by Lloyd, or Light, another element used by Mr. Pale that is referred to in a similar way.
Creation | Golden Power | Creation (The LEGO Ninjago Movie) |
Golden Power (sometimes referred to as Light[1]) is an elemental essence in Ninjago.[2] It is the combination of the essences of Creation and Destruction.[3][4] It is also one of the two strongest powers across the realms alongside its malevolent counterpart Darkness. It is generally associated with the colors gold and golden yellow.
Lloyd eventually unlocked the full potential of the Golden Power during his first battle with the Overlord, using it to defeat the dark lord, destroy his hold over Ninjago, and undo the damage Garmadon inflicted upon the Balance, with Lloyd's gi turning gold. Following his recovery during the Nindroid crisis, the Overlord began planning to steal Lloyd's Golden Power for himself in order to regain a physical vessel of his own and become the Golden Master so he can destroy the Balance. Lloyd then decides to divide the Golden Power with his fellow ninja, returning to them their respective Elemental Powers.
After the defeat of the Golden Master, no living being wields Golden Power in its purest form anymore. The only currently known existence of Golden Power is in the Golden Armor, which was hidden by Cyrus Borg until it was melted down and turned back into the Golden Weapons. Following the battle with the Oni, the weapons were rendered dormant though they still retained the powers they had always possessed, as power can never truly be lost.
During the climax of the final prophecy of Quanish the Elder, the Ninja destroyed the reawakened Golden Weapons, sacrificing their powers to unleash the might of the Golden Power. The burst of energy took on the form of the Golden Ultra Dragon to defeat the Overlord once more in order to prevent him from corrupting the four elements of Creation so that the Balance would be rendered nonexistent. Due to this, there is now currently no object nor living being that wields Golden Power anymore.
Users' abilities[]
- Nigh-Omnipotence - The user is virtually omnipotent (which makes them unlimited in power and possibly transcendent, unless part of the power is taken from them, in which they have a limited amount of power left), like when the First Spinjitzu Master used it to create Ninjago (using the main elements that make it up). Another example is when the Overlord became the Golden Master, he wanted to use this elemental power to destroy all of Ninjago. It can possibly be used for regular or material astral projection, manipulate and recreate an entire universe, survive universal destructions, and control cosmic forces to manipulate astronomical objects and create cosmic constructs/weapons (i.e. saws). The user does not need materials around them to create objects using Creation. Like Destruction, the Golden Power can be used for offensive energy attacks, and its "constructs" are mostly made of energy rather than matter. The user is also able to use the five main elements that comprise it (including Energy).
- Potentikinesis - The user can manipulate various superpowers and elemental powers.
- Power Bestowal - The user can give elemental powers to other people.
- Power Restoration - The user is able to restore the power of others.
- Power Augmentation - The user can increase their power thousandfold.
- Power Erasure - The user can remove an Elemental Master's powers and use it for themselves.
- Flight - The user can freely fly in the air.
- Elementumkinesis - The user can create, shape, and manipulate the basic elements of nature (Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Ice). Capabilities may include moving, altering, and mixing existing elements. The user can also use them as vividly as the specific master of those elements can but has full control over them.
- Elemental Blasts - Users of this element can fire blasts of the main four elements with the Golden Power, usually as an offense.
- Telekinesis - The user can influence, manipulate, and move objects and matter (because it is comprised of the elements that Golden Power controls) from great distances, usually to attack or defend against an adversary.
- Chryso-Ergokinesis - The user can manipulate a stronger golden form of Energy, usually to attack an adversary (the Golden Master can generate powerful beams composed of gold colored energy).
- Energy Ball Projection - The user can shoot golden energy balls.
- Energy Beam Emission - The user can shoot a blast/ray of Golden Power/energy from his hand. The user can also make a beam of Golden Power with two hands which is a more powerful version of the ray. This move is usually done with two hands as it requires more energy.
- Energy Wave Emission - The user can send golden energy waves to weaken enemies.
- Golden Explosion - The user can release golden energy over a target area of their choosing, causing great damage or delivering great shock waves of pure force.
- Energy Shield Construction - The user can make or encase himself in a Golden Power shield/dome/field.
- Chryso-Photokinesis - The user can create and manipulate gold colored light.
- Rope/Web Generation - As seen with the Overlord as the Golden Master in "The Titanium Ninja", the user can create ropes/webs of golden energy.
- Meta Matter Manipulation - The user can manipulate all possible forms of matter, allowing them to wield a stronger combined form of Destruction and Creation (even stronger than the Tornado of Creation), usually to attack or defend against an adversary.
- Omnifabrication - The user can create, reshape, and move objects or matter to create anything they want/need.
- Materialization - The user can create anything from nothing either as finished objects or simply unfinished elements.
- Remote Materialization - The user can create and reshape all kinds of things in distant and far off places without the user even being present.
- Artifact Creation - The user can create powerful artifacts, like the Realm Crystal.
- Construct Materialization - Users can change anything into tools, objects, weapons, and other items and create structures/buildings of varying permanence.
- Life Creation - The user can create life.
- Healing/Purification - The user can heal/purify themselves and other people from any injuries and Dark Matter.
- Disintegration - The user can disintegrate anyone who doesn't have elemental powers. This is seen when the Mega Weapon disintegrated a pirate who tried to steal it from Garmadon, a Nindroid who touched the Mega Weapon fused with the Golden Weapons on a comet, and Zane's original body being destroyed by the Golden Armor.
- Potentikinesis - The user can manipulate various superpowers and elemental powers.
- Martial Arts Creation - The user can create their own martial arts, as shown when the First Spinjitzu Master created the Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu.
- Spinjitzu, Airjitzu, and Forbidden Spinjitzu - The user can do Spinjitzu and Airjitzu. Anyone can do Spinjitzu and Airjitzu with immense skill, but the user can do Golden Power Spinjitzu and Airjitzu. It is possible the user can do Forbidden Spinjitzu too.
- Elemental Dragon - The user can create an Elemental Golden Dragon.
- Dimension Travel - The user can travel to another realm with this power as when the First Spinjitzu Master did to create Ninjago.

Trivia[]
- Since the element co-operates with the main elements (Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Ice) of Ninjago, it is possible the element also co-operates with the other elements; in Lloyd's first battle with the Overlord, he was able to alter his appearance and fly in the air, as per the elements Form and Gravity.
- Lloyd is a unique case of any user of Golden Power.
- The Master of Energy is supposed to unlock this Element and become the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master (which he did), and stay at that strength until death. But Lloyd lost his Golden Power to the Overlord, and gave the remaining of it (the elemental part of it) to the other ninja, leaving him with just the Element of Energy. Now, he is in a weakened state but is still stronger than the other ninja by around 20%.[5]
- Since Lloyd gave out the rest of his Golden Power to the ninja, he became somewhat of a "source" of their Elemental Power. This meant that if his power ever got disrupted, their powers would too, as seen in "Winds of Change".
- The Golden Power's draconic manifestation, the Golden Dragon, is far larger than any of the other Elemental Dragons in size. This could relate to the magnitude of the element's power level.
- Though the power was introduced in Legacy of the Green Ninja, its name was not used until Rebooted.
- Golden Power is similar to the Golden Chi from Legends of Chima, because both can manipulate the user's surroundings. When asked if they were related, Tommy Andreasen said, "That’s a fine question, but not one to be answered here [on X]."[7]
- In "Enter the Digiverse," the four original ninja briefly experienced Golden Power (see images below).
- The Golden Master may have been using a corrupted version of Golden Power, since he was the embodiment of evil (and thus Darkness), but had been resurrected using Golden Power (possibly combining the two).
- Although it is occasionally referred to as "light", it is distinct from actual Light.
- It has not yet been revealed what abilities the Golden Power has.[8]

- In "The Way Back", the ninja broke down a door by blasting all of their powers at it at the same time, and the resulting energy explosion resembled Golden Power.
- The exact relationship between Golden Power and Creation is unclear. Tommy Andreasen said, “Think of golden as creation",[9] but when later asked if the two essences were the same, he said, "Can’t get into that. Too complicated".[10] Tommy Andreasen would later state that First Spinjitzu Master got Golden Power from the dragons implying that Golden Power and Creation are related.[11]
- Chris “Doc” Wyatt confirmed that Golden Power is in fact made up of Creation and Destruction.[4]
- According to Tommy Andreasen, Lloyd will most likely not regain Golden Power, because it would be unnecessary for the story.[12]
- However, Chris “Doc” Wyatt confirmed on X that there is a possibility for Lloyd to regain Golden Power.
- As the Golden Master, the Overlord showed more proficiency with the Golden Power than Lloyd.[13]
- The Golden Ultra Dragon, as all four powers of creation rolled into one, is a manifestation of Golden Power.
