“As you know, the Sixteen Realms are interconnected and the balance affects us all. When one falls, another falls apart. Every action has a consequence.”

The realms of Creation[1] are a variety of worlds located within the Ethereal Divide. Inter-realm travel can be accomplished using the Realm Crystal, an artifact that was created by the First Spinjitzu Master and located in his tomb, along with various other methods of transportation. The Realm of Oni and Dragons was the first of all the realms in existence.

Originally, there were Sixteen Realms apart from Ninjago, making there 17 realms in total. Following the destruction of the Cursed Realm when the Preeminent was destroyed, along with the subsequent destruction of Djinjago, there are currently only 14 realms parallel to Ninjago, making there 15 left.

Following the Merge, the realms were merged into one, and are now known as the Merged Realms or the Merged Lands. As a result, some of the realms were given new names as they were no longer classified as realms, but rather as kingdoms or landmarks. Some of the displaced people created a home called the Crossroads, the center of the realms.

Trivia[]

  • The Hageman Brothers came up with the idea of the Realms of Creation and the idea that Chima was one of them.[13][14]
    • It was later revealed that Chima itself was not a realm but a location in the Wyldness, one of the Realms of Creation.
  • The concept of the realms is similar to the Nine Realms from Norse Mythology.
  • The concept of the realms is different from the common science fiction parallel-timeline multiverse idea, as there are no alternate universes in Ninjago.[15]
  • There is conflicting information about the exact number of realms there are. Some information indicates 16 including Ninjago,[16] and others state that there are 16 beyond Ninjago, which would mean there are 17 realms in total.[17][18] The latest official information about the subject states that there were indeed 16 beyond Ninjago, so 17 in total.[19]
  • The realms were surrounded by an infinitely vast, formless void known as the Ethereal Divide.
  • It has been confirmed by Tommy Andreasen that the worlds of Nexo Knights [20] Hidden Side [21] LEGO Island,[22] Bionicle,[23] and Dreamzzz are not part of the 16 realms in the Ninjago storyline.
    • However, Ninjago and Legends of Chima exist as fictional universes within the world of Nexo Knights.[24] See here for further explanation.
    • As for why Nexo Knights is not connected in terms of realms, Tommy Andreasen stated that "Not everything needs to be linked" and Nexo Knights "has a more easy going vibe."[25]
    • Ninjago only exists as a TV show in Dreamzzz.[26]
  • There are a number of locations that have been confirmed as non-realms, and others whose status in relation to the realms is unclear:
  • It is unknown whether disgraced warriors from realms other than Ninjago go to the Underworld.[36]
  • It is unknown whether the Cloud Kingdom affects the Wyldness or other realms.[37][38]
  • The zoetrope room seen in "Grave Danger" is similar to the Entrance Chamber of the Department of Mysteries in the Harry Potter novel series. Both are circular rooms surrounded by doors, and have a bluish glow.
  • The symbols from the first test represent the 16 realms. The yin-yang symbol probably represents Ninjago.
    • However, Tommy Andreasen doesn't think the 16 doors seen in "Grave Danger" lead to the other 16 realms.[39][40]
  • In "Grave Danger," Cole joked about one of the realms to be a "realm of hurt," which references the phrase, a "world of hurt."
  • Zane was figuring out which door in the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master would lead to the rest of the chambers of the tomb in "Grave Danger," and Kai noted that the door Zane selected was the same way they came in. However, both halves of the tomb exist in Ninjago. Thus, the ninja did not cross between realms, instead, Zane performing Spinjitzu may have triggered a mechanism that rotated the entire room and landed that door on the other side of the tomb.
  • According to Tommy Andreasen, not every realm has a living embodiment as the Cursed Realm did.[41]
  • Tommy Andreasen has stated that the Wyldness is his favorite realm.[42]
  • As seen with the destruction of the Cursed Realm, destroying a realm consequently destroys its sister realm; in this case Djinjago.
    • According to Tommy Andreasen, every realm has a sister realm.[43]
    • However, due to there being 17 realms in total, one of the realms doesn't have one.
    • According to Tommy Andreasen, Ninjago and the Underworld are not sister realms.[44]
  • The Cursed Realm is now within the Departed Realm, making the Cursed Realm the only realm to be inside of another, and the Departed Realm the only one to house another.
  • When asked if the other realms would eventually fall as the Cursed Realm and Djinjago had, Tommy Andreasen replied, "There is an end to everything. Facts of life."[45] This implies that ultimately all the realms will be destroyed or become uninhabitable.
  • Time passes differently in some realms, explaining how the Sky Pirates stayed alive for 200 years from Ninjago's perspective while being trapped in other realms.[46][47]
    • However, none of the realms in the series so far have shown such a time difference. Though Lloyd speculated in "A Fragile Hope" that this was the case with the Never-Realm, Tommy Andreasen later clarified that Zane had been sent into the past when he was banished there, meaning this was not the case.[48]
  • When the events of Skybound were undone by Jay's final wish in "The Way Back", other realms may not have been affected.[49]
  • When asked whether the realms are more like separate universes or different dimensions, Andreasen responded, "Whatever ensures creative freedom."[50]
  • It is unknown whether residents of realms besides Ninjago go to the Departed Realm upon death.[51]
  • As shown in "How to Build a Dragon," it is possible to listen to the broadcast from Ninjago in the Realm of Oni and Dragons.
  • In "The Darkness Comes," Wu referred to the realms as the "Lands of Creation," implying that they may have some affiliation with or were created by the power of Creation. He also referred to them as the "realms of Creation" in "A Cold Goodbye."
  • In "A Cold Goodbye," Wu said that the Never-Realm is the most distant of all realms.
  • As of May 2022, Andreasen guesses they will see the unnamed realms in future seasons, but he doesn't know.[52]
  • It is currently unknown whether all realms will ever be shown, because "stuff like that needs to happen organically."[53]
  • Since the release of Dragon Rising, there have been noticeable changes in the way the realms and its inhabitants are portrayed in comparison to the original series.
    • In "Writers of Destiny," it is stated that the titular writers only believe that they dictate destiny, unlike in the original series.
    • The correlation between the djinns' magic and Djinjago was underscored in "The Last Djinn," showing their interdependence. However, this was not the case in Skybound, as Nadakhan possessed the power to grant wishes, despite the lack of Djinjago's restoration or the replacement until the end of "Misfortune Rising."
  • As stated by Chris "Doc" Wyatt on Twitter, the Land of the Three Mountains is not its own realm but simply part of the new lands explored by Kai shortly after the Merge. It is unknown what realm it originates from.[6]
  • The Merged Realms originally had two moons, but after the Dragons Cores stabilized the world, there is now a single moon.
