Changes: Spinjitzu

Revision as of 14:44, 17 July 2015

Tornadoofcreation1 — The Ninja using Spinjitzu together making the Tornado of Creation.

Spinjitzu is a martial arts technique in the world of Ninjago. It involves the user tapping into their innate elemental energies while spinning rapidly, creating a tornado-like vortex of energy around themselves.

Abilities

Spinjitzu grants the user the ability to create a tornado of a specific element and color around themselves. The user and element (if one is being used) rotates rapidly, allowing fast perception and the ability to hit or spin enemies in the process.

The user is also given the ability to wield the Golden Weapons properly. One of the things required to fully master Spinjitzu is to gain one's True Potential, unlocked once the person overcomes a personal problem that was preventing them from being at peace within themselves.

Notable Uses

Way of the Ninja

Sensei Wu used Creation Spinjitzu to attack Samukai during the Skulkin raid on Ignacia. He then used it to save Kai from the collapsing water tower.

The Golden Weapon

Sensei Wu used Creation Spinjitzu to give the Ninja their new gis.

Trivia

Each of Ninjago's Dragons are able to perform something similar to Spinjitzu when they cross over to the Underworld.
Although the element of a user's Spinjitzu is always based on their natural elemental affinity, the color of the resulting tornado appears to be influenced by the color of their outfit. For instance, Zane's Spinjitzu generated a pink tornado in “Can of Worms,” after his white gi was turned pink after being washed with Kai's red gi. This leads to the conclusion that both attire and element contribute to the Spinjtizu's color (or possibly that it defaults to the elemental color, and only if the user's attire is entirely one color does it change).
- Cole is an exception, however, as his Spinjitzu tornado is brown rather than black. Similarly, Sensei Wu usually wears white, but creates a golden Spinjitzu tornado.
In “Return of the Overlord,” a Dark Matter-infected Nya uses what appears to be a crimson Spinjitzu tornado when she first attacks the Ninja.
It is unknown if the secondary elements are used in Spinjitzu.
Its appearance resembles a tornado.
It's similar to another Elemental form known as Airjitzu, which grants the user temporary flight.
- This indicates that Sensei Yang somehow learned Spinjitzu, and then developed Airjitzu.
Spinjitzu used by someone without an elemental affinity (such as MIsako) will be silver.
