Ninjago City | Ninjago City (The LEGO Ninjago Movie) |
“Biggest city in all of Ninjago. Always wanted to come here.”
“Yeah, I always dreamed of one day being on a billboard here.”
Ninjago City, formerly known as New Ninjago City, is the capital city of Ninjago and its main urban area, found near the Sea of Sand, and close to the coast of the island.
History
Misfortune Rising
Nadakhan transported Kai to Ninjago City's "humble beginnings" when Ray was a poor teenager selling weapons from door to door.
The Golden Weapon/How to Build a Dragon (flashback)
Jay visited Ninjago City to test his Mechanical Wings. While they worked, he crashed into a billboard and came across Master Wu.
Can of Worms
The ninja first visited Ninjago City when they detected Serpentine activity in the area. Although amazed by the sheer size of the metropolis, they quickly tracked the snakes to the subway tunnels, where Pythor had gathered the tribes in an attempt to unite them.
The Royal Blacksmiths
During their hunt for the Blade Cup, which contained the second Fangblade, the ninja visited Cole's father, Lou, in the suburbs of Ninjago City. They subsequently went to the city's Concert Hall to participate in the annual "Ninjago Talent" show, where the Blade Cup was offered as the grand prize.
All of Nothing
During a suspicious drought of Serpentine sightings, the Ninja discovered Spitta roaming the alleys of Ninjago City one night. They cornered the Venomari Soldier and grilled him for information about the whereabouts of Pythor and the final Fangblade, only to learn that the Anacondrai was already tracking the artifact halfway across the planet.
Day of the Great Devourer
After the Great Devourer defeated the Ninjas' Ultra Sonic Raider at Ed & Edna's Scrap N Junk, it headed for Ninjago City in search of more material to consume. Entering via the subway tunnels, the monster emerged in the city square, interrupting the "Take Back Ninjago" rally. An all-out battle erupted when the Ninja arrived, but the Great Devourer was too powerful for them to defeat.
After the Devourer defeated the Ultra Dragon, Lord Garmadon approached the Ninja, who told them that the only way to kill the Devourer was to combine the power of all four Golden Weapons—which, coincidentally, only he could do. Reluctantly, the Ninja agreed, giving Garmadon the weapons before distracting the Great Devourer with a mad chase around the city. Eventually, the Ninja successfully immobilized the beast by tricking it into winding its massive body through the streets and alleys of the city and biting its tail, allowing Garmadon to destroy it by plunging through the weak spot on top of its head.
Pirates vs. Ninja
After the pirates enter Ninjago City, the Ninja try to ward them off.
Double Trouble
Following Lord Garmadon's orders, the Bizarro Ninja searched the city for any signs of the Ninja. Along the way, they trapped an elderly woman in a tree with her cat, caused a car accident, broke an ATM, and stole cotton candy from Nuckal. Eventually, they found Dareth's Dojo and tried to trick Wu.
Ninjaball Run
The Ninja are training Lloyd in Dareth's dojo when a wrecking ball hits the window and the Ninja fall and when Dareth comes screaming in that it was meant for tomorrow, Nya comes in and tells the Ninja about Ninjaball Run. Then the Ninja start the race in Ninjago City and just beat Garmadon and the Serpentine to the finish line.
The Stone Army
The Ninja traveled across the city to the Museum to deal with the Stone Army merchandise coming to life after the Great Devourer attack.
The Day Ninjago Stood Still
Ninjago City has been reported to have an earthquake but was just Constrictai digging up the earth in hopes to bury its citizens. Later, with the Stone Army freed, the citizens were forced to evacuate while the army wreaked havoc.
Return of the Overlord
After infecting Jamanakai and Ignacia, the Overlord plans to take over Ninjago City next. He eventually created a portal to the city, leaving the Ninja trapped on the Dark Island.
Rise of the Spinjitzu Master
The Overlord, now at Ninjago City, started to blast Dark Matter onto the city. Once Lloyd saved Ninjago, the city was destroyed, and the citizens started to repair it.
After the Final Battle
Much of the city was left in ruin after the Final Battle and Cyrus Borg spearheaded the effort to restore Ninjago City, upgrading it with futuristic technology, and it was renamed New Ninjago City. Borg Tower was constructed at the site of the Final Battle, becoming an icon as the city's tallest building. It was there that the Hover-car was invented, which became the most common mode of transportation around the city. Borg Industries also designed Security Mechs and Hover-Copters to protect the city and enforce the law.
The Surge
New Ninjago City became a battleground once again when the Digital Overlord took control of all of Borg's security forces, turning them against the citizens. While the Ninja fended off the mechs and hover-copters, Master Wu helped evacuate a large majority of citizens from the city using the sewers.
Shadow of Ronin (non-canon)
Ninjago City fell under attack by Nindroids once again after Ronin reactivated them. The Ninja, Nya, and Cyrus Borg were able to disable them, however, though not before one of the jets crashed into the fireworks factory.
Day of the Departed
On the evening of the Day of the Departed, the Ninja raced through the streets of Ninjago City, desperate to get to the Ninjago Museum of History before its gift shop closed.
The Mask of Deception
The Sons of Garmadon infiltrated Borg Tower and stole the Oni Mask of Vengeance. Lloyd then chased Mr. E around Ninjago City but he eventually got away.
Big Trouble, Little Ninjago
The Sons of Garmadon, Garmadon, and Colossus prepared to wreak havoc in Ninjago City, to get them to bow before Garmadon as its new Emperor.
Under Garmadon's Rule
Firstbourne
Garmadon has subjugated the city and has made a throne out of the tallest building which overlooks the city with the Colossus standing guard. The Sons of Garmadon continue to destroy the streets by harassing civilians or rounding up some of the Ninjas' allies.
Green Destiny
Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, and Wu, return to Ninjago City and help their friends take down the Colossus. Lloyd faces Garmadon and regains his powers while the latter loses his. Ninjago City is freed and everyone celebrates and they thank the Ninja after in the aftermath.
