Trivia[]
- Despite the events taking place after Crystalized, Fire Fang appears in this book, although Tommy Andreasen implied that Fire Fang was destroyed after the Pyro Vipers lost Kai's fire.[6]
- This book explains how the ninja regained their powers before the events of Ninjago: Dragons Rising.
- The AMEET publishing program originally only offered the stories separated into two books, presumably to showcase a story written by each author.[7] The third option for all four stories combined was added to their catalog in the second round and is the one used for this book.[5]
- The idea of the book was most likely repurposed from the scrapped 4 shorts series called "Ninjago: Reconnect".[8]
- At the end of Part 1, Skylor says "No sleep till Ninjago City!” This could be a reference to the song "No Sleep till Brooklyn" by the Beastie Boys.
- Zane's story references his original plan to be a snowboarder.
- This is the second section of a Ninjago novel with the plot of Zane exploring a "dream" with help from P.I.X.A.L. The other story is in Fired Up!.
Errors[]
- The book states that Zane "placed a hand" on the neck of his titanium dragon to greet them during the events of the Tournament of Elements. However, in the TV series, Zane placed his hand on the dragon's snout (Part 2, Chapter 2/"The Day of the Dragon"). Though it is possible this could've happened but wasn't depicted in the show.
- In Part 2, Chapter 3, the book states that Zane and P.I.X.A.L. are in the hangar bay. Contradicting a remark in Chapter 2 stating they are in Nya's Samurai X Cave, as the hangar bay has yet to be rebuilt following its destruction in "The Fall of the Monastery."
- The description of P.I.X.A.L. states that she is Zane's closest friend. This is technically correct, however, it ignores their implied romantic relationship throughout the show.
- When the events of "Brave But Foolish" were mentioned in Chapter 1 of Zane's story, it said that Zane lost his memories when his mech crashed. Even though, he was actually using a jet at the time.
