Okay but like technically speaking, why would Wu tell the ninja about half the things he’s experienced years ago for them to be prepared just in case?
What, is he just gonna sit them all down and say “Ninja, I had a first student who left like a few decades ago when he was pretty much a child to look for my fathers corpse because he reallyyyyy wanted to be the Green Ninja and ever since he left I haven’t seen him. Oh and also he was like a prodigy and the elemental master of wind. Just keep that all in mind mkay?”
And then when Morro pulled himself out of the Cursed realm were they all supposed to go like “Oh my GOD!!! YOU’RE SENSEI’S FIRST STUDENT!!! Thank you so much Sensei Wu for telling us about your first student who was pretty much irrelevant until this exact moment!! Now we can save the day!!”
Or with Aspheera:
“Ohh Ninjaaa I have to tell you about my situationship with this snake lady around 20,000 years ago when I WAS A CHILD, who I taught spinjitzu after she blackmailed me so I wouldn’t get in trouble with my father, and Garmadon- your father Lloyd- was also there but he’s a tad irrelevant for once in his life. But basically she took over the serpentine kingdom and then was gonna pretty much become a tyrant. So me and Garmadon, when we were children, decided to steal from our father- the first spinjitzu master- this level up buff to beat her up but that buff was a scroll that pretty much corrupted you so like. Make sure to remember that just in case.”
And, again, were they supposed to just say “aight sensei, dunno why you told us that but thanks 👍” and then when Aspheera pulled up were they supposed to go like
“OHHH YOU’RE SENSEI’S SITUATIONSHIP OHHHHHH” and then thank Wu for, again, telling them something that was completely irrelevant for centuries until it forcibly became relevant again.
Honestly so far the only instance I can remember that Wu WAS at fault for and should’ve told the Ninja about was the Time Twins. Of which he didn’t because A) he overestimated himself, B) he underestimated the Time Twins, C) he didn’t want to drag the Ninja into his mess, and D) this is my post so I get to add a D even if I don’t have a fourth point.
Like YES there are situations where he is at fault for (ones i probably don’t remember). He shouldn’t have let Morro leave, he should’ve told his father what happened instead of further breaking the rules and helping the crazy snake lady, he should’ve told the ninja about the Time Twins. And probably a few more things he’s like really old, but all of them just makes him human. Morro was his first student, his first kid, and he messed up. He met Aspheera as a CHILD and got manipulated. He didn’t want to drag the ninja into his own situation and genuinely thought he could handle them.
Like cmon guys why is it normal for him to get blamed for not telling them his entire life story as if he was supposed to just expect Morro and Aspheera to appear after so long. Who would’ve actually expected something like that.
Another thing to add is like- what difference would it have made if he told them?
Knowing about Morro wouldn’t have prevented Lloyd from getting possessed. It wouldn’t have prevented Cole from turning into a ghost, or Morro from unleashing the Cursed Realm. Because Wu didn’t know he was dead, let alone banished to the CURSED REALM.
And it’s the same with Aspheera. Wu wasn’t the one who locked her away, that was King Mambo. So of course Wu wouldn’t know which temple she was entombed in. The Ninja never told him they were going to a temple either, so it’s not like he could give them a warning even if he knew where she was entombed. Zane literally had prophetic visions about Aspheera’s release and still wasn’t able to stop Jay and Nya from opening the tomb in time.
As for the other villains:
The Overlord had no relevance to the Green Ninja Prophecy as far as Wu knew, because they all thought Garmadon was the Dark Lord Lloyd was destined to defeat. So it makes sense why he didn’t mention him. And the fucker always comes back so it wouldn’t really matter. Knowing about him wouldn’t have changed anything.
Chen wasn’t causing problems until after the Overlord’s second defeat. And while you could argue that he should’ve mentioned him anyway considering he owns a noodle franchise on the mainland- it’s not like Garmadon told the ninja anything about Chen either, and he trained under him. And again, even if the Ninja knew about Chen, what would that have changed? Cool, he’s a malicious manipulator with war crimes up his belt. They gathered that from their first day.
We’ve already gone over Morro. And Nadakhan wasn’t from Wu’s past, so he doesn’t count.
Yeah, he should’ve told them about the Twins. But as OP already addressed, he didn’t want to drag his ninja into what he considered his problem. He honestly would’ve won if not for the Time Blade. (Plus it’s not like the other ninja aren’t guilty of running into battle alone). And they were always inevitable. Wu didn’t even know Krux was still around.
The Sons of Garmadon had nothing to do with him.
Now, maybe if they had known about the Oni, they could’ve reforged the Golden Weapons in advance. But the Oni returning was not a guarantee in Wu’s eyes. His father only feared that they would. Why frighten his Ninja with what was only a legend? Plus, this is another thing Garmadon was also privy to. So if you’re going to hold it against Wu, you should hold it against Garmadon as well.
Aspheera has already been addressed. And the rest of the Wildbrain Era villains had nothing to do with him.
Sans the Overlord, but he always comes back anyways. And sure, Wu knew he was capable of that, but he didn’t think it’d be relevant for another few generations. He was going to mention it when it was actually important.
So yeah, people complain about this without actually thinking about it and it shows.
k but imagine Rocky wanting to learn about how humans became the apex predators of their planet so he has Grace “hunt” him in the biodome as an experiment and during it he thinks Grace isn’t trying or taking it seriously which is bad bad bad because this is for research purposes
only for Rocky to get more and more tired as the experiment goes on just to realize that Grace isn’t which makes him panic so he puts as much distance as he can between them and finds a (hopefully) safe spot to sleep and when he wakes up the human is crouching over him like “got youuu” and Rocky has never shrieked so damn loud before in his life
So we all know how Morro deluded himself into thinking that cursing all 16 (technically 17) realms and defeating Lloyd would magically make him the Green Ninja.
What if he had succeeded?
What if he successfully unleashed the Preeminent and no one was able to stop it? The Ninja are out of the picture, the plan worked, and he’s the "Green Ninja".
…Then what? What would he have done with the rest of his existence?
The Cursed Realm sucked, and now thanks to him, everywhere is cursed the same way. It’s like he’s trapped all over again.
People will despise and fear him. Sure, there will be people that submit to him out of fear. But there will just as many that openly reject him. "The Green Ninja was a hero!! He was kind and selfless!! You ruined our lives!! And for WHAT?!"
They call him many things. Liar. Villain. Demon. Monster.
Claiming the title should’ve been a victory. He took what should’ve been his in the first place.
So why did he feel like an imposter?
As time passes, the euphoria and triumph will fade, leaving emptiness and dread.
Then comes the devastating revelation.
He never wanted this.
But it’s too late. The Queen of the Cursed rules all, and cares not for the tiny ghost she molded into the perfect tool.
@kindaasrikal
Don’t apologize this is GREAT! Tbh you’re one of the people I hoped would see this post because I love your thoughts on Morro. 😄
(Also thank you! I’m proud of that last sentence heh.)
He’s one of those villains whose victory would actually be their worst ending, and I LOVE thinking about it.
Like, yeah! Wu was the only person in the present day that actually, genuinely cared about him. Even after everything he had done. And without him there’s no one that remembers him as the orphan who just wanted a home. As anything other than a monster.
He’d be trapped in a hell of his own creation. Spiraling, trying to convince himself that he’s content, he’s happy, this is what he wanted.
But then thinks back to the days he had actually been happy. A home, a life, a father teacher. He thinks back to the day he left a good life behind because he couldn’t take "no" for an answer. He wonders what his life would’ve even like if he had accepted it. Maybe he could’ve been the hero he wanted to be instead of the object of the people’s justified hatred.
I love ghost boy, he makes me crazy. 😄
So I was reading the one Spinjitzu Brothers book I have and I realized something interesting.
We all know that Wu used the be the reckless child and Garmadon was the responsible one. And that they switched.
But while almost everyone assumes it was because of the Great Devourer, this passage confirms that the switch up happened right after Aspheera’s defeat.
BEFORE the Devourer’s bite.
And that’s so much more interesting.
Because it wasn’t due to an unnatural outside force, but rather a result of what both boys learned from the experience.
Wu obviously felt guilty for the whole ordeal and became more responsible so he wouldn’t make the same mistakes again.
And you’d think that Garmadon would only double down on his previous cautiousness, since his fears were proven right. But instead he starts taking more risks like his brother did.
Was he affronted by their father’s disappointed silence? That he did not at least give them some credit for taking responsibility? Taking matters into their own hands and saving the realm?
He must’ve found some fault in his father’s rules if he was more willing to break them.
Or maybe he got some kind of adrenaline rush.
Idk, I just think it’s really interesting how Garmadon’s newfound recklessness and rebelliousness was a natural development rather than another result of the Devourer’s venom. That was all him.
@transcendingtimeandspace4u I love you so much bestie ♡(◍ ´꒳` 人 ´꒳` ◍)♡
@coolestzed BESTIEEEEEE 🥹🥹🥹🥹
(This was originally a reblog, but I realized that it deserved to be its own post as well).
There’s no one in this fandom that infuriates me more than the people who genuinely, unironically blame Wu for the bite.
Those jerks actually make me sick.
Wu was an innocent child, acting as a child would. Who had absolutely NO WAY of knowing what would happen. He wasn’t even the one that sent the katana flying over the goddamn wall! That was Garmadon!! Yet there are people that would say to this child’s face "Yeah, it’s completely your fault your brother got poisoned with evil. You suck." Despicable. Absolutely despicable.
You know the absolute worst part? The fact that we KNOW who was TRULY responsible for Garmadon’s fate.
"It was I, who possessed the serpent that bit your hand. It was I, who corrupted the Great Devourer, and set him against you."
The Overlord literally admitted to being the SOLE REASON for Garmadon’s corruption. That he PLANNED IT, so he could eventually serve as a vessel. Which is exactly what happened in season 2.
Wu haters often use the bite to pin literally EVERYTHING that followed on Wu. But in reality it was The Overlord, who, unlike Wu, ACTUALLY PLANNED THIS SHIT.
"ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED- WAS BY MY DESIGN."
He- he literally admits it. Right there.
But nooooo, somehow WU is still to blame. "He still should’ve taken responsibility", "he still shouldn’t have lost the sword in the first place", shoulda shoulda coulda coulda woulda woulda-
Shut up. Shut the hell up. Nevermind the fact that it’s so EASY to criticize Wu when you have hindsight- It doesn’t matter. It literally doesn’t matter. Why? Because the Overlord had always PLANNED this. It wouldn’t have mattered if Garmadon never went to get the sword, if the sword had never been lost, if they hadn’t even been playing in the yard that day. Garmadon would’ve been bitten anyway, because the Overlord had always intended to corrupt him and use him. If not that day, he would’ve found the opportunity to poison him another day, in different circumstances. And if not Garmadon, it would’ve been Wu, which wouldn’t have been any better. (Unless it had to be Garmadon, then he was screwed either way). He had personal beef with the FSM and was always going to screw with his family.
It was all by his design.
The fact that even now, years after this reveal, there are STILL people choosing to blame Wu over the fucker that DELIBERATELY, INTENTIONALLY, AND MALICIOUSLY orchestrated the tragedy makes me furious and extremely disappointed.
I can’t even look at Spinjitzu Bros angst on TikTok without some asshole in the comments going "Wu’s fault btw". SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
I’ve long since found that they aren’t worth listening to. They chose petty hatred over media literacy and critical thinking. This stupid take belongs in the same category as "Kai should’ve been the Green Ninja" and "Nya should’ve been with Cole".
Wu deserves so much better from this fandom.
Okay I am now entirely convinced that Misako haters are actually fucking stupid.
Not just biased, actually stupid.
BECAUSE WHAT DO YOU MEAN MISAKO IS WORSE THAN REGINALD?!?!
ARE Y’ALL DEADASS?!?!
When Reginald was introduced I made the mistake of being hopeful that more people would reevaluate their opinions on Misako. Because, as another post perfectly put it, Reginald is what Misako haters think Misako is. A deadbeat who repeatedly abandoned his child for the sake of research. I thought for sure that people would compare them and realize "oh wow, Misako isn’t nearly as bad as this guy, maybe we’ve been too harsh on her".
Evidently I had way too much faith in this fuckass fandom. Because instead I started seeing people say shit like THIS:
"He’s just a better Misako".
"At least Frak’s dad never left him at an evil boarding school".
"At least he was there for his son unlike Misako".
Oh. My. God.
I actually lost braincells reading these stupid ass takes because WHAT?!?!
FRAK LITERALLY SAID THAT HIS DAD WAS NEVER THERE FOR HIM WHEN HE NEEDED HIM???
REGINALD DEMEANS, INSULTS, AND DISMISSES FRAK AT EVERY TURN??? STRAIGHT UP VERBALLY ABUSES HIM???
HE REFUSED TO EVEN DEFEND HIM IN COURT???
Meanwhile, Misako tried to take destiny into her own hands so her husband and son wouldn’t KILL each other. Every time we see her interact with Lloyd she’s been nothing but loving and supportive. She was willing to DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH for Lloyd (when Harumi had them both in cages above piranha infested waters), and risked her life for him more than once.
HOW THE FUCK IS REGINALD BETTER THAN MISAKO IN ANY WAY?!
There’s literally NO justification for this. People saying with their whole chest that Misako is still the worst parent are delusional. Plain and simple.
These idiots don’t deserve to be given the time of day. Because you have to actually refrain from using critical thinking to come to this dumbass conclusion.
Y’AAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL
Cause friendly reminder to all Misako haters that she is willing to THROW HANDS for her son
Misako DOES NOT play when it comes to her husband and son. ESPECIALLY her son. Her number one concern has always come down to the safety of her son! If she can help in some way, shape, or form, we’ve seen her do what she can to help! Whether it’s researching, helping when someone is injured, or fighting!
Lloyd loves his mom!! That much is extremely obvious when they interact on the show!
Just sketches!
Im not going to pretend to know everything about ninjago lore because frankly, not even the writers know everything about the lore, but I've been thinking about how the elemental powers work and you know what? Wu gets a lot of shit for employing a gaggle of teenagers to fight his battles for him, but the thing is... he didn't get a choice in that decision
From the very beginning of season 1, it is explained that 1. the masters of earth, ice, fire and lightning are predestined to be the guardians of the green ninja so that he may one day defeat Garmadon. And 2. Once the green ninja is discovered the countdown for the final battle starts (there is a physical clock for it)
And throughout the series, it is made clear that elemental powers are a bloodline thing, occasionally they skip a generation (as told by Nya in s5), but very rarely do they stray from the family line (see Morro, who didn't live past 15 nor did he have any blood relatives)
So Wu is already working with these arbitrary rules with a ticking clock and must track down all four of these guys so they can find the chosen one. And like he knew the previous elemental masters, so he would already know who the next gen would be except for Jay and Zane for obvious reasons (at least that's what I thought until s8 fucked Zane’s backstory up so much like why did they do that?????)
Speaking of the previous elemental masters, there is nothing to suggest that they keep their powers after they have children. We only really have Kai and Nya's parents to go off of and Maya always refers to herself in the past tense when it comes to having elemental abilities.
But even if the former masters did keep their powers, Kai and Nya's parents had been kidnapped, Cole's mom was dead, Jay's mother abandoned him and went who knows where, and the former master of ice was dead too I'm pretty sure. And Zane wasn't even related to the last guy, and Wu should've had no idea who he was and s8 makes absolutely no sense for making them meet before--
*sigh* This is not the topic for today
So Wu LITERALLY had no other options aside from the gaggle of teenagers and he gets so much shit for it. Like I bet he wishes he had Lilly and Ray to work with. Especially when the chosen one turned out to be an eleven year old child.
And you could say "oh, but he trained Morro and other children in his monastery" and yeah, trained. He may have suspected Morro was the green ninja, but he never sent him out into danger. That was all Morro.
All I'm saying is there are in-universe reasons for why he chose a handful of kids, because that's what they were; kids, to fight and I feel people forget that.
Preach! It’s also worth mentioning that if Wu didn’t seek them out, Garmadon definitely would’ve. He needed the Golden Weapons and they were the only ones who could retrieve them. (Literally the whole reason Garmadon kidnapped Nya). They were getting dragged into the ninja life no matter what.
Saw a YouTube poll asking who your favourite Ninjago mother is, the 4 choices were: Edna, Misako, Maya and Lilly
All really good options innit?
And guess what I see in the comments....
"Ughh why is Misako there?"
"if you choose Misako, you hate Lloyd!"
"the people who chose Misako concern me"
"Misako is a bad mother"
And the reason they continue to give is that she left him at Darkley's...
Like bro, regardless of how you felt about the Darkley's part, there's still the fact that...
LLOYD FORGAVE HER YEARS AGO WHY ARE WE STILL DOING THIS IN 2026 😭😭
This also reminds me of the "Kai should've been the green ninja" bs that's still going on.... KAI GOT OVER NOT BEING THE GREEN NINJA, LLOYD FORGAVE MISAKO AND THEY'VE BEEN CLOSE EVER SINCE CAN WE PLEASE MOVE THE FUCK ON 😭😭😭😭
She was compared to Garmadon saying that he was a way better parent than her... Are we deadass? He had his own flaws and mistakes (I'm talking about pre resurrection Garmadad, post was obviously a diiiiiiick to Lloyd mostly). They both loved their son dearly, to suggest that one or the other didn't is just false my guyyy
And the fact that Misako is being compared to Sora's parents bro..... "She's not the worst parent because Sora's parents exist" She's been nothing but supportive of her son and owned up to her mistake, Sora's parents ostracized Sora because she wouldn't support their dictator, how the hell is that comparable???
I hope that Misako returns so she can prove once again that she's a good mother (also to see people cry about it)
Oh my gosh, I know EXACTLY what poll you’re taking about…
The fact that we still have this "Misako is the worst mother" attitude in 2026 is nothing short of pathetic.
What really annoys me is that people call her a bad mother without actually considering literally any of the time she was actually, yknow, a parent.
Literally ALL of her interactions with Lloyd post-introduction are positive and loving. She risks her life for him more than once, supports him when he needs it, and wants to be by his side. (She also gets him kick-ass birthday presents, considering the Destiny’s Shadow in Hands of Time).
But people cite her ONE mistake from YEARS prior and dismiss literally everything else. Labeling her as a shitty mother.
And don’t even get me STARTED on people comparing her to Sora’s parents. They aren’t comparable AT ALL yet people act like they’re rivals for "worst parents of the year" awards.
I’m sick and tired of people grouping Misako with Sora’s parents and REGINALD, because she doesn’t belong with them AT ALL. She has never ONCE treated her son the way these bums treat their children. She and Lloyd have a POSITIVE AND HEALTHY relationship and she has LONG since made up for her mistake.
I voted for her out of spite. I love the other moms too but Misako deserves more support.
i dont "go on walks," i dont "use character sheets" and i dont "plot before writing," i raw dog it, and if it doesnt flow, I FUCKING CRY.
im afraid why is this my most liked post
god's weakest soldier is scrolling tumblr instead of being productive or participating in any of their hobbies
You know what’s really sad?
The fact that Garmadon’s love for his brother couldn’t override the Devourer’s venom like his love for his wife and son did.
Like, Garmadon has legit tried to kill Wu twice on screen (not counting the Oni Trilogy because Garmadon was willing to kill his whole family indiscriminately).
Sure, they had some nice moments while journeying out of the Realm of Madness, but that’s only because Lloyd was in trouble and they needed to work together.
If Wu hadn’t told him Lloyd was in danger, Garmadon would’ve suffocated his little brother with no remorse.
And it just- makes me incredibly sad. That the venom turned their relationship from one of love to one of contempt. (The venom took the small part of Garmadon that felt that "Wu always gets everything" and made it 1000x worse). I can’t imagine how Wu felt, watching his big brother succumb to darkness for thousands of years, growing colder and more hateful towards him by the day, until he actually tried to kill him.
shirakumo & tenko skeb <3
Yoichi seems like the type to try to help in any way even when he is so malnourished he can't do nothing
And I feel like everyone forgets how physically weak he is because of that(forgot kudo didnt have his scar yet when he was with yoichi still)
