-Magneto: (to Voldemort) "Are you a anti-Lego racist, Tom ? This candidate produces dark magic. And you are yourself a magic practizer."
-Voldemort: (to Magneto) "He is just a shapeshifting being. He's too ambiguous about his real form for I can trust him."
-Sauron: "A villain is a villain whatever their parallel world comes from and whatever their species."
-The Overlord: "I am the Absolute Evil toward the Ninjago world, you know ?"
-Palpatine: "I am curious about know this pure dark being. Let's begin the overview."
His villainy's journey:
When the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago, a new being of darkness was born, known as the Overlord. From his birth, the evil spirit already threatened the Ninjago island and the balance between Light and Darkness. He created the Stone to try to eliminate the Spinjitzu Master and to better conquer the world. But the protector split the continent into two parts, secured the first part (the actual Ninjago island) and he sealed the evil entity on the second part (Island of Darkness). Since this day, the Overlord plans to return back and to get revenge against his arch-nemesis and his descendants (Wu, Garmadon and Lloyd).
His biggest crimes:
The Overlord corrupted a snake with dark magic and sent the beast to bit a child Garmadon. That caused the spiritual corruption of the latter. So the evil spirit can use the First Spinjitzu Master's son as a pawn for his upcoming evil plans.
When Lord Garmadon was shipwrecked on an island, the Overlord communicated with him. He manipulated the four-armed warlord to create the Garmatron (a heavy tank that shot dark magic ammunitions). Once the balance was upset, Overlord took possession of Garmadon and he bit up the latter's son Lloyd on the Island of Darkness. The evil spirit now turned into a dragon corrupted the Ninjago island, even the Ninjas were temporary evil-corrupted. But Lloyd turned into the Golden Ninja and he defeated Overlord at the top of the latter's tower.
The peace came but Overlord came back under the form of an AI. He turned Cyrus Borg into a cyborg under his orders. Idem for Master Wu. He produced an army of Nindroids to take control of Ninjago and to track down the Ninjas. With the Pythor's support, he got physical form with the Lloyd absorbed energy and the Golden Weapons that the Nindroids brought from an asteroid in Space. He turned into the Golden Master and terrorized Ninjago again. But Zane sacrified himself to erase the Golden Master.
Some years later, Overlord tried to take possession of a rebuilt Zane but he was expelled from the nindroid's body.
After the Emperor Garmadon's fall, Overlord revived and recruited Harumi. The latter helped the evil spirit to create an army of Crystal warriors and to form a council with a lot Ninjas' foes. He emerged back from a crystal and he became the Crystal King. During his final battle against Lloyd, Garmadon, Harumi and the other Ninjas, Overlord planned to turn all the being into crystal zombies but he was finally defeated once and all.
The reaction(s):
-Overlord: "I am the Evilness. And I am unkillable too."
-Sauron: " Unkillable ? I can come back to life and torment the world every time. Theses are my hobbies."
-Palpatine, Voldemort and Freddy Krueger: "Us too. 😒😒😒"
-Loki: "I recognize a true god within you, Overlord."
-Overlord: (to Loki) "Great from you, master Loki." (to everyone) "So. I think about an agreement: To take control of the Contest and to share the power between me and all of you. 😏"
-Palpatine: "Hey ! I just thought about the same thing. But I feel that you can double-cross m... all of us. 😠"
-Overlord: (to Palpatine) "Or you can betray me and everyone in this Contest, old hooded wizard. 😈"
Palpatine turns astonished and worried 😧. The Jury members look at him with suspicions. 🤨🤔😐🙄😒😠
-Palpatine (calming down): "The Overlord is the threat to everyone. even to all villains ! ☝😠"
everyone knows the prophecy of the green ninja has never been fufilled right? we know that right? "One ninja will rise above the others and becomes the Green Ninja, the ninja destined to defeat the Dark Lord." Season 2 has Overlord vs The Golden Ninja. Gold, that ain't green guys Season 3 has Overlord vs White Ninja. Also not green Season 9 has Emperor Garmadon vs Green Ninja. This time they do have a battle but like he's an emperor now not a lord
And then season 15 has Lloyd vs the overlord again but like is he the overlord or the crystal king? trick question it doesn't matter because Lloyd turns gold again
Crybaby
His optics are always filled with tears. Pathetic.

Lego Ninjago theory!!!
oky so you know how Ras has this so called master right? i think it’s obvious that it’s the Overlord.
hear me out-
the sounds Ras’s master makes sounds very similar to the Overlord. and the place the Overlord keeps taking Ras, the colors are similar to what the Overlord looked like the first time we saw him as a formless energy ball.
remember when Master Wu said that the Overlord could not be destroyed and keep coming back.
the Overlord also has been in both the last two shows.
and, this is the important part, in the latest season- season 4, before Lloyd fights himself he mentions the Overlord as one of his greatest enemies. and as we know Lego Ninjago loves foreshadowing a couple episodes before the event.
the Overlord will come back guysssss!!! trust meee!!! XD
I’ll just say I LOVE the idea of the Overlord being a dragon and embodying creation instead of him being an Oni, because it’s just.. so cool? What else do you think they could do with his character to make him more intriguing?
i REAAALLY would've loved delving more into the overlord using dark matter and crystals to spread its reign and take people's autonomy. i mean that's what it's been doing all this time right - taking people's autonomy
it used the great devourer to infect garmadon with a venom that would slowly take away his ability to make his own choices that are of his own volition
it used dark matter to turn people's hearts evil and make choices they wouldn't make otherwise (reminds me of the gong of shattering but i do think they're very different)
and the crystals seem to have the exact same effect as dark matter but more externally visible considering the crystals sticking out of people's bodies. i imagine this is just like a more powerful form of dark matter
the overlord being a dragon and also spreading its reign by removing people's ability to be their own person are two things i would lov to connect more coherently but i leave them like this for now
