Not to be confused with the villainous group.
“This is what I wanted, to see your father's return, and for you to lose everything. How does it feel to see the end?”

Season 8 of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, subtitled Sons of Garmadon, was preceded by Season 7 and is succeeded by Season 9. Lloyd was the focus Ninja and the intro character, Harumi served as the main antagonist, and the Sons of Garmadon were the villainous faction of the season. Lord Garmadon was the mascot character of the season.

The first 7 minutes of the first episode premiered on July 23, 2017, at the San Diego Comic-Con as part of the preview. The trailer was released on January 5, 2018. The first episode was released in Australia on January 20, 2018. It was made available on the US Cartoon Network app, website, and On Demand on March 30, 2018. To familiarize new fans brought in by The LEGO Ninjago Movie, the design of the Ninjas' suits and faces are based off their movie designs. The season also recasts Sam Vincent as the voice of Lloyd, supplanting Jillian Michaels, who voiced the character in every previous episode.

Plot

A year after the loss of Master Wu, the Ninja, led by the newly dubbed Master Lloyd, must protect the Royal Family and prevent a group known as the Sons of Garmadon from successfully reviving Lord Garmadon at the Temple of Resurrection using the Oni Masks.

Official Description

In the action-packed season 8 of the NINJAGO® TV show, the Sons of Garmadon, a mysterious biker gang, are on a chase after the three Oni Masks. The forceful villains plan to use the power of the masks to resurrect the evil Lord Garmadon. But can the great ninja team of Lloyd, Kai, Nya, Jay, Zane and Cole stop them in time?

Cast

Designs

All the Ninjas' designs have been changed so the transition for new fans that came from The LEGO Ninjago Movie would be easier. Now all the Ninja look similar to their movie counterparts.

  • Kai has a shorter version of his movie hairpiece and his movie self's thinner eyebrows. Tommy Andreasen said specifically that he didn't like Kai's movie counterpart's hair, so he shortened it.[1] It is also now reddish-brown.
  • Jay has freckles and lost the notch on his eyebrow. The Hageman Brothers said that he always had freckles, but they never knew they were there. He has his movie self's dark-brown hairpiece, but his freckles are lighter and less apparent.
  • Cole's scar has now faded and is no longer visible, but it can be seen when he uses his RX powers. He has longer hair and his eyes now have a more relaxed look to them, as his movie counterpart does. He has his movie self's eyebrows. His RX powers are now yellow-ish orange.
  • Zane has a new holographic projector that allows him to "transform" into anyone and change from titanium form to human form, without having actual flesh. He now has his hairpiece from the movie, and the same blue eyes in human form. Of the ninja, he looks the most like his pre-Season 8 self, with the same eyebrows and mouth, and his Titanium form having the same face, albeit with a scratch on the upper left side. His face also no longer turns blue when his hood is up.
  • Lloyd looks nearly identical to his movie counterpart, with longer hair and green eyes that glow when he uses Spinjitzu. However, while in the movie Lloyd has a mostly black suit with green accents, the opposite is true for the show.
  • Nya's hair is wilder and she has a mole on her cheek. According to Tommy Andreasen, Jay refers to it as "a mark of eternal beauty." She has her movie hair and mouth, and looks nearly identical to her movie counterpart, similar to Lloyd.
  • Garmadon's appearance is the same as his appearance in The LEGO Ninjago Movie, as seen with his minifigure in 70643 Temple of Resurrection. The difference being that part of Garmadon's ribcage is partially exposed with a purple liquid oozing from his torso.
  • All of the Ninja (except for Nya and Jay) now have their weapons from The LEGO Ninjago Movie.

Notes

  • Echo Zane was originally confirmed to return for this season, but never made an appearance. As confirmed by the Hageman brothers in August 2018, there were originally plans for Echo Zane to be revealed as the true identity of Mr. E,[2] as Harumi would've found him at the Lighthouse Prison and upgraded him. The concept was scrapped and isn't canon, as the Hageman brothers felt there wasn't time for it.
  • Season 9 and Season 10 were developed as compainions to Season 8. All of them together form a 24 episode arc.[3][4]
  • Despite Lloyd having a new voice actor, and the Ninja all gaining new suits based on their movie counterparts, all the other Ninja retain their previous voice actors. The Ninja were redesigned to be closer to their movie counterparts in order to make the link between the show and the movie easier for new fans. The eighth season remains canonical to the previous seasons, despite the design changes to all of the Ninja. In Episode 75, Cole and Jay have a short argument where they mention their new looks may be a result of Wu’s trip through time.
  • Dan and Kevin Hageman returned to write this season. Previously, they handed over the writing duties to David Shayne for "Day of the Departed" and Season 7, as the brothers were occupied with writing their Netflix original series TrollHunters.
  • Lloyd has a new voice actor, this being Sam Vincent, making this the first season not to feature Jillian Michaels in the role, and the first time one of the Ninja is given a different voice actor in the series.
  • In May 2017, Andreasen hosted a contest where Ninjago fans submitted their artwork that would be displayed by the a child around the age 9-10 that was huge fan of Ninjago.[5] The character was revealed to be the young Harumi, before she lost her birth parents.
  • Various things were revealed in this season, such as the First Spinjitzu Master's origins, the identity of the new Samurai X, the fate of P.I.X.A.L., and how Zane inherited his Ice element.
  • For April Fools day, Tommy Andreasen posted a status on Twitter with three events from Season 8, two of which are real and one of which is fake. The three events stated that Cole would do a lot of singing, that there would be old recurring enemies, and that a new Ninja would join the team. The two confirmed events are that there would be old recurring enemies, as Garmadon was resurrected in this season, and that Cole would sing, as he is singing in the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, and ninth episodes and in a teaser trailer. He also performs "The Weekend Whip" with most of the team in the ninth episode. However, the one about the new Ninja was partly true as P.I.X.A.L. rejoins the team as "Samurai X."
  • Tommy Andreasen addressed Season 8 as "Next Level Ninjago," implying the major changes in the series' tone.
  • The title of the season and a clip were revealed at San Diego Comic-Con.
  • According to Tommy Andreasen, the first episode was made to be ready for release by January 1, 2018.[6]
  • A 90-second trailer was released on January 5, 2018.
  • The art direction of Sons of Garmadon was based on the 1988 Japanese film, Akira.[7]
  • Three teasers were released on January 16, 2018: Power of the Oni Masks, about Oni Masks, Mysterious Biker Gang, about the Sons of Garmadon, and A Royal Encounter, about the relationship between Lloyd and Harumi.
  • Ninjago City is now looking more like the city in The LEGO Ninjago Movie.
  • This is the first season where "The Weekend Whip" is not the theme of the intro, neither are the characters names shown as they appear on screen. However, the "Jump up, kick back, whip around and. . . ." portion of the Weekend Whip's melody can be briefly heard in the very beginning. The Ninja sing it in "True Potential."
    • It is also the first season that has its name written in the episode title cards.
  • This is also the first season not to have Ian James Corlett as part of the voice cast.
  • This is the only season to have no Dragons in the sets. This may be due to the abundance and heavy focus of Dragons in Season 9.
  • This is the second season to air entirely in Australia/New Zealand before the United States, with the first being Rebooted.
  • Despite the six Ninja and Garmadon receiving new designs from The LEGO Ninjago Movie, Misako remains the same design from the previous seasons, although her streak of white hair appears more prominent, after being absent in Hands of Time.
  • Cyrus Borg, Ed, Edna, Skylor, Ray, Maya, and Ronin made cameo appearances in photos in the backgrounds of certain episodes aboard the Destiny's Bounty.
  • All of Sons of Garmadon was released on the Cartoon Network US app, website, and On Demand on March 30, 2018. The first season to be put online before airing on television was Tournament of Elements.
  • Season 8 is the first season to have two characters announce the title cards at the beginning of each episode (Lloyd announced episodes 75-83, and Garmadon announced the finale).
  • This is the first season to not have Master Wu announce the episode title at the beginning.
  • This is the fourth season where The Great Devourer triggered a season's main events. In season one, the Serpentine sought to awaken the Devourer, in Season 2 the Stone Army was awakened due to the Devourer's toxic venom seeping under ground, in season seven, the Devourer's Vermillion eggs were used by Krux and Acronix to maneuver the Iron Doom. In season eight, Harumi seeks to revive Lord Garmadon, as she looks up to him as the one who killed her parents' murderer—The Great Devourer. 
  • This was the fourth season where the final battle took place in Ninjago City, following seasons one, two and three. 
    • The final battle of season six took place in New Djinjago, which hovered over Ninjago City - although the battle didn't take place in the city itself. 
  • This is the second season to have no Serpentine since their debut in Season 1, the first being Possession
  • Season 8 marks the only season to have the Ninja defeated, and separated in the end.
  • Master Wu in his elderly form is seen in the official trailer for the season. He also appears during Cole's flashback in "The Jade Princess" and Zane's in "Snake Jaguar."
  • This is the first and only season to not feature Master Wu in his current form, not counting flashbacks. He would finally return to normal at the end of Season 9: Hunted.

      • Cole had his own focus episode, which was episode 77.
