The Yin-Yang promise is a sacred tradition practiced by the people of Ninjago. A piece of a medallion with one half of the yin-yang symbol is presented to a romantic partner, signifying their promise to be one with each other forever.
History[]

Endings[]
Jay proposes his Yin-Yang to Nya.
Queen of the Munce[]
Jay mentions it when he introduces Nya to Queen Murtessa.
Distress Calls[]
Nya mentions it when Jay tries to get her to send a message to Benthomaar.
Trivia[]
- The Yin-Yang promise was previously stated to not be the Ninjago equivalent of a marriage proposal and a separate love-related custom unique to Ninjago.[1][2]
- Tommy Andreasen has stated, "Foreign customs are often hard to grasp. It’s clearly a love thing."[3] When asked if there was a ceremony associated with the promise, he stated, "I don’t know. If we ever decide and is relevant it will be in the show."[4]
- In an "interview" written by Tommy Andreasen, Nya states that it is "pretty much an engagement".[5]
- It seems to be equated with betrothal, as when Murtessa asks if Jay is betrothed, Nya says "Yes! He is! To me!"[6]
- It is treated similarly to a marriage proposal, such as in "Into the Breach" when Kai asks Jay "Did you pop the question yet?", which means to propose.
