“Focus on your adversary no matter how insignificant. Make its strength your strength, and an enemy can be turned into a friend.”
Wu to the ninja, "Master Class"

Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu is a series of six videos from the LEGO website made to promote the Ninjago: Legacy sets. It is preceded by Season 9 and succeeded by Season 10. A team of painters is creating a mural of the ninjas' past victories, while the team train in the newly rebuilt Monastery of Spinjitzu and reminisce about the past.

The flashbacks are canon, but with some details being different than what actually occurred because they are fantasies, dreams, or visual augmentations.[1]

Trivia[]

The Trivia on Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu needs to be organized.
  • You can help the wiki by organizing the following information chronologically based on how the information applies to the series.
  • This template can be removed once the section has been organized.
  • It appears that the inconsistency between the designs used in the Legacy sets and how the events actually happened in the show is explained by the ninja remembering the past in an exaggerated way or having selective memory.
    • The movies are confirmed to be canon by Tommy Andreasen, explaining that "Two of them are set in present day. The other 4 all start and end in present day; however, the stories are memories, fantasies, dreams, visual augmentations which means they are saturated by the ninja's current state of mind and self image."[1]
      • The only flashback (if one considers it a flashback) that seems to be completely accurate is the one in "The Weekend Drill," as it takes place between Hunted and the present day events of the shorts, and Cole having the Earth Driller is explained as Nya giving him a new one as a gift. The Giant Stone Warrior he fights is the same one from Legacy of the Green Ninja, which is still in Kryptarium Prison.
      • Zane explains that the reason he and Kai look different than they actually did in a data log of a fight with Venomari taking place at some point during the first season is because it is a visual augmentation, and he has selective memory to make himself look cooler.
      • Lloyd looks and sounds like he currently does in a flashback that takes place after the second season because it is a dream. What remains consistent is that he does not have green eyes.
      • In Nya's flashback to her Samurai X days, she imagines the additions she would give to her mech if she had made it in the present, saying that she would have made it less bulky.
      • Jay's flashback to using the Nunchucks of Lightning in a fight against Pythor during the first season is a daydream.
    • This seems to contradict how Cole, Zane, and Jay kept their original designs in the previous pre-Season 8 flashbacks in "The Jade Princess," "Snake Jaguar," and "How to Build a Dragon" respectively. However, it can be explained because Cole's flashback in "The Weekend Drill" did not take place before Season 8, Zane's may have gotten his enhanced visual augmentation feature or decided to upgrade his memories to their old designs after the events of his flashback in "Snake Jaguar," and as mentioned above, Jay was daydreaming so the past was not meant to be fully accurate.
  • In the Monastery of Spinjitzu, there is a mural most of the adventures of the ninja going from the confrontation with the Skulkin of the pilot episodes until the confrontation with Garmadon in Hunted. Even the Dark Island Trilogy is included. "Day of the Departed," however, is not.
  • Nya encounters a young Harumi and her parents in the village she helps save them from the Skulkin in "Samurai X-Treme."
  • Killow and Ultra Violet appear in "The Weekend Drill." The members of The Fold also make an appearance as prisoners at Kryptarium.
  • Each of the shorts are known for having a character to focus on them.
