there's something that will always be so special to me about Jay's relationships with the replacement ninja post skybound

jay offhandedly mentions that Soto isnt nearly as bad as everyone thinks and everyone stares at him

Jay becoming great friends with Skylor during operation land ho (since this is the first time they've hung out without kai, or really just in general) and they get along great, of course and post skybound he's way more friendly with her and keeps accidentally bringing up inside jokes that she doesn't get and he grieves a close friendship he didnt even knew he had

Just. Jay post skybouns trying to figure out what's real and what's not. Everything to me

Man this part of s5 went a lot differently then I remember

[parachutingkitten]

Say what you will about Nya's true potential arc, but it's kind of insane that Wu determines her supposed fatal flaw by giving her a pointless mind bender riddle while her family is in danger, and her getting frustrated when she can't logic it out and seeing it as a waste of time. Idk, seems like a pretty normal reaction to me. If you give me a task which seems both impossible and pointless I'm not going to want to spend much time on it either. I don't think that's a function of Nya fearing failure, I think it's a function of a human seeing a basic sense of injustice in being required to complete an impossible task.

Logic puzzles aren't like a physical skill where if you keep trying and endlessly throw yourself at it, eventually you'll figure it out and see improvement. If you can't solve a riddle, usually you need like other people or time away to figure it out. You can practice getting your head around the type of logic riddles use by doing a bunch of them, but it's a skill that takes a lot longer to develop, doesn't have consistent results, and requires exposure to a lot of different riddles to succeed. You are not going to improve yourself by working on the same one forever. 'Wow, you quit trying to figure out my riddle!' well yeah, what do you expect me to do? Sit here all day banging my head against a wall trying to will myself into being smarter while under great emotional stress? Not to mention, Nya does throw herself at the problem and try to get creative by plugging the hole in the bucket. Like, repairing the bucket I would argue is a perfectly valid work around given that there were no stipulations given to Nya. She is giving the problem an honest effort, and yet Wu seems unimpressed with this even when it's proof she is trying.

Really they needed to give Nya a more practice based task and show her giving up on it sooner, because that's what the problem is supposed to be, right? That she is unwilling to put forth time and effort into getting a new skill because of she does not want to view herself as the type of person who needs to go through a learning period? And he never even tells Nya the answer to the riddle. You know, something which might prompt a change in perspective, get her to think about things in terms of the bigger picture, show her the mental blocks she has aren't insurmountable. Can you imagine if Wu never told the ninja the answer to 'what is the best way to defeat your enemy?' Like, it's very clearly key to the themes and lessons you want your characters interacting with, what are we doing here?

!Updated! Nya rewrite seasons 5-7

Seasons 1-4 Seasons 8-10

Rewrite details under cut:

Possession:

Gi is meant to be a combo of the pilot and possession designs since it's her first

Actually excited to learn she's the elemental master of water thanks to her love for the ocean, though she doesn’t admit or embrace it at first as her feelings towards samurai x and becoming a ninja make things complicated

Her relationship with Wu becomes a bit strained

Improved on her dynamic with Ronin by taking out and adding things; the sword of sanctuary scene reveals he's sick as a result of his curse which I plan on going into in his rewrite

Full on crushing on Penelope by this point

Skybound:

Doesn't get back together with Jay, their friendship develops but she stays firm in her choice to reject him as a romantic partner as she planned confessing to Penny before the events of the season kicked off 

Instead of planning to marry Nya, Nadakhan wants to exchange her soul for Delara’s life as revenge for the destruction of his realm. Though Nya briefly makes him question if coming back would be something Delara even wants. 

Nadakhan goes through with the ritual anyway, the timeline still gets reset to bring Nya back from the departed realm

Hands of Time:

Officially in a relationship with Penelope and opens up to her about the other timeline and having briefly been dead

Maya and Ray stay established as dead, makes the cast a little less crowded also want to save the 'parent turns out to be alive and in the hands of a villain' plot for Jay as Libber is just missing

Spends time unraveling the mysteriousness surrounding her parents death/disappearance alongside her brother, also learns more about her mothers time as a warrior and inherits her trident

Further explores her bittersweet feelings towards her days as samurai x, and her relationship with Wu heals a bit before he disappears
