Nostalgia for LEGO Ninjago

Ninjago, is the kind of thing I don't remember discovering, it was allways there, same for who's the green Ninja, I was too young to be surprised or get what it meant, so now it's like I allways knew.

a weird ninjago memory i have is owning the first character encyclopaedia and bringing it into school every day. i used to flick through the pages randomly and assign people characters which eventually led to the whole class having ninjago character nicknames despite most of them never actually seeing the show (sadly the next school year rolled around and people suddenly found it “cringy” to have dumb nicknames for eachother)

[@caketaro]

Aw man I had one of those two, the Lloyd in there was my absolute favorite minifigure. I never quite understood why they didn't put him in the regular sets.

[@bataitez6983]

This is really funny because you said you watched zane die on the 3ds I'm watching this on my nintendo switch but went on my phone to comment this

[@AL123Productions]

Man, 2015-2016 was probably the best time to be a Ninjago fan imo. Certainly my best experience with the theme, even greater than 2012 which is saying a lot.

[@Crusty783]

I agree! 2015-2016 were absolutely something else on the community side of things, although I might have to say 2018 was the best due to the actual show peaking. I still remember my first time watching the S8 finale.

[@bizzarofan2951]

My biggest nostalgia is when season 3 ended they put the sneak peek at season 4 right after so I constantly rewatched it

[@AckulBricks]

I remember in 2018 i went into my moms room and found the movie bounty in her closet, i was amazed, also it was like a week before my bday

"Ninjago" is my favorite show ever and I'm sad to see it end tho I'm happy it will get a proper conclusion but I can't help but think that this is truly the end of "The Renaissance Era of Cartoon Network. Shows that came out around that time like "Adventure Time and "Regular Show" had ended years ago and now the last cartoon from that time will end. Definitely a end of an Era.

[@ninja16]

You rly make my day :( I will remember old Ninjago era. Thank you for all 😔

[@igamer12]

while i didn't grow up with ninjago myself, it's really nice seeing how important this show has been to so many people!! and, more recently, also me! :-]

[@Ollyiswild_04]

I’ve loved this show for years and to see it come to its long awaited end makes me tear up a little. Even though the franchise will be continuing through its 2023 series, it’s so insane to see this show I grew up with for so long come to its end.

[@remi-xgamez2057]

7:20 so trueee everything is true but thats just the most relateble

[@Drg0_]

Honestly I don't remember much about the older seasons as even tho I've been watching since 2011 I was very young. Rewatching the seasons recently has given me a lot of nostalgia and made me remember some memories I had of the show. One thing I specifically remember is seeing the Great Devourer for the first time. My 5 year old self seeing that massive snake eat Master Wu TERRIFIED ME! I remember being so scared that the ninja would lose the fight and it would eat everything. Honestly that may be why I LOVE that episode so much now.

[@Drg0_]

Not really a Ninjago specific thing but another thing me and my cousin used to do was we would always bring some lego figures to dinner or lunch if we went out to eat. We did this from mabye age 7-12 and would always play together with our figures. Her with the Lego Elves and me with my Ninjago figures. We loved playing with them and would do it for hours. Now I don't really "play" with my sets. I collect them and display them on a shelf. This show was my childhood, literally from 5 to now about to turn 16 I've loved this show. I'm exited for the end, and ready to see where it goes from here.

This is sad and amazing in the same time. Uh, no, I have tears in my eyes. Bro...

[@cisarvitiate]

I remember when I first saw the season 1, I loved snakes (and still do) so when I saw that season is about snake people I need to know What that is. And I loved it, I needed to have all sets and I remember How great times I had with building those. 2012 is really most nostalgic for me and not just becose of the Ninjago but I must say season 1 and watching it on my vacation is still one of my favorite memories. And Pythor is still my most favorite villain, so he is also the most nostalgic villain for me (still remember 2014 and the moment I saw on KZbin spoilers about his return-I’am Czech so seeing it in english when I was 12 wasn’t the best be ose I didn’t understand it well, but still I love these kind of memories).

[@-beastly-bat-studio-5996]

2:25 Yo, that’s me! Thank You for featuring my comment, I know it doesn’t seem like much but it’s made my night! Thank You!!

[@lgarmadon776]

My most nostalgic moment was seeing the final battle. 😊

[@saikaustav9975]

I started watching the show in 2016. I got introduced to it by my few friends at that time (I think that Home was the first episode I watched). I used to watch it as any random show, so I ended up temporarily leaving it in 2017 thinking that it ended with Skybound and I had no clue that there was a Season 7, a special and a movie after an year or so. One day I randomly searched for Ninjago in 2018 and I saw a trailer of Sons of Garmadon and I felt totally confused by the redesigns since I had no clue that there was a movie. Seasons 8 and 9 were great seasons that made me love the show and I never left it since then.

[@shadow_fox773]

I wasn’t onboard with the series when it started but my brother was. I truly admire him and some of my favorite Ninjago memories have been with him and his Lego collections of the ninja. Even though I wasn’t allowed into his room as a kid I would sneak in when he was gone and admire the sets that were up on his wall. Even now with him as a college student and me not far behind sometimes we take apart those sets and put them back together again. This show connected him and I in ways that I will be forever grateful for.

[@matrixpictures7799]

even though i've been critical of the franchise a lot and completely fed up with the community, it still means something to me as it has been a staple of my life for the longest time now. i remember my cousin introducing me to season 2 at a family gathering, i remember couple of my afterschool classmates loved playing the card game, i remember playing shadows of ronin 3ds with my friends on school trips during elementary, in middle school i got 2 of my best friends into the show and watching the oni trilogy, late 2021 where i was NECK DEEP into the series and it was my entire personality (not proud of that), ninjago helped me get through some tough times too. nowadays, even though now i think the show and overall theme is overrated and overextended, i still like it and im glad its getting a proper finale marking an end to this chapter of my life and the franchise. thanks tommy.

[@rexparker0623]

My biggest nostalgia was when my grandparents downloaded four episodes for me on their iPad for a 15 hour car ride and i watched those four episodes over and over again and never got bored

[@haox9]

The year was 2015. Life was good in the primary classes. My friends introduced me to Ninjago and everytime we meet we would watch s1 together. Back then we were behind and the newest season was the ghost season. We had a good time and talked about all the ninja's powers. I finished s9 2017, the Ninjago movie came and I watched it several times on my ipad. I talked to my friends about the new style of the ninjas and how different it is from before. Year 2021. I havent watched Ninjago for few years. A new friend told me the new seasons s13. I started watching s11 untill s12. I await the new seasons. Year 2023, I havent been watching it up to date. I watched a short about "2022 nostalgia" and discovered that Ninjago ended. The Nostalgia started flowing in...

[@sudo3037]

I remember seeing an Xbox One S in my parents closet before Hanukkah in 2017 and flipping out and barely hiding that I’d seen it lol.

[@VERGILGASM]

I remember watching Ninjago since I was a kid, it's just something I knew since I was a kid, and I loved it when my mom bought me lego sets. I remember watching with my brother every evening (in my country it was at evening). I wish things were as simple as then...

[@cheeseypies4445]

Man time goes by so fast!! This was such a nice vid it was cool hearing everyone else's nostalgic stories for ninjago!! I'm ready to laugh smile and cry this coming Saturday when the new episodes come out this weekend! Who knows what will come next. Either way I'm excited. To the ending of crystalized and the next series!! I hope it's just as amazing as everything before it!

[@CristataArt]

Personally, I was never a big Ninjago fan, I just found it on Netflix, watched through what was on there, thoroughly enjoyed it, and then moved on since I didn't know that there was anything more to watch. But man, the reveal of Zane being a robot has stuck in my head as the single coolest thing ever since I first watched it.

[@gundamguy833]

I was a fan of Ninjago for a while, but I started interacting with the community around mid 2017. I specifically remember it because that was when they were constantly releasing trailers for the movie wnd when the sons of garmadon teaser released.

[@dominothealphaandomega5512]

Back in the good ole days of 2016: I can’t help but admit that I first became a Ninjago fan when I watched the Finale of season 3 at my aunties house, and it’s ironic that at my Aunties house is where I viewed the Finale of Season 6 [my favorite season], My granny and little siblings we’re watching tv in another room, so I was alone upstairs watching Ninjago, I still remember nearly crying at Nyas Death. Another one of my favorite Memories was in 2018 or 2019, I was in 5th grade at the time, sick for a week so I stayed home, Had nothing better to do, so I binged the entirety Of Hunted I had no idea what was going on [Mainly because I hadn’t watched Sons of Garmadon yet], or why the Ninja looked different, but it was Awesome, I also remember viewing March of the Oni for the first time and being like “NINJAGO JUST ENDED” and gave my dad the biggest call… Another memory I have was in 2015, Me and one of my cousins were up early in the morning, Everyone else was asleep, so we decided to turn on Ninjago [The cursed world part 1 and 2], we spent a few minutes arguing over how Nya’s name was pronounced [He thought it was “NAIA”]

[@Grindelsire]

My family was on vacation during the middle of Possession and I vividly remember realizing the tv at the place we were staying had Cartoon Network, so I could still watch Ninjago. I think I definitely have the most nostalgia for Possession out of all of the seasons and sets, because it was also the first time I ever got multiple actually significant Ninjago sets. Having the possessed Lloyd minifigure has always felt so cool.

[@caketaro]

As of the early birthday present seeing, I once saw a copy of Pokepark 2 Wonders Beyond in my parents drawer. I also remember when my older brother had to build my lego sets for me I got that one serpentine motorcycle, Lloyds golden dragon, and Kais S2 mech. Now I can build my own lego sets and who knows, maybe I'll help a dumb (not in a mean sense) little kid build their lego sets. Ninjago was a huge part of my childhood and while a lot changed. Stuff like my parents passing away and having to grow up, I will never stop being a rabid fan no matter what.

[@PYROMANICAT]

the first ninjago episode i watched was the invitation (s4 ep1) and i remember instantly loving the show, so i watched it from the start the next day and from then on i would watch it every day after school and talk about it non-stop to my friends. i miss those times

[@Sparkshot99]

I remember watching the Lego ninjago pilot in like 2013/2014 to hype up season 3, and I was instantly hooked. In fact, I loved it so much I got a used lego box from someone ( I think it was my older second cousin) and it had zanes ice dragon from the pilot in it!

[@Kzvadia]

My most nostalgic memory was when I was 5 in 2013 and my mom turned on Ninjago and I instantly loved it

[@arktya]

I still remember to this day that the first episode I ever saw was "Never Trust a Snake" (4th episode of season 1, the one that introduced Pythor) I believe this was sometime in late 2012, as I did not have cable tv before then. Because I had no exposure to the show beyond seeing the sets in stores and the occasional Lego Club magazine advertisement, I thought Zane was the main character because the first few minutes of the episode focused on him. I recall that I used to like Lloyd a lot too (very likely because he was the character that was most physically similar to me)

[@Zilverno]

i still remember watching s1 when i was 2,ninjago came out one year after i was born

[@RyujinSaviorX]

Ever since 2012, my obsession with ninjago till 2019 came to an end but, I still support and watch the series till the bitter end. I loved making stop motion series for Skybound, Day of the departed and, hands of time. I also made a little bit of a Sons of Garmadon series but, unfortunately I just gave up motivation for that and stopped caring cuz, I liked watching Dtinaglia's stop motions and the official show's episodes more. Good days though. Also, I agree on 2016 being a not so great year since i went through a lot and it caused me to stir trouble for everyone including myself but all in all there were a lot of great and exciting moments when seeing news for Ninjago and for other years as well! I also remember, my dad getting me the Morro Dragon set as a late birthday gift and, my friend getting me the Ultra Stealth Raider set and going out with my cousin and buying the sets I want and, waiting in the mail to get my bootleg Day of the departed and hands of time mini figures because I didn't get the chance to get the og figures before but, I did later on ofc lol.

[@filiposki301]

Wait did Ninjago actually just not air in the UK till 2014/15?

[@Crusty783]

yeah lol

[@BlueToadFan]

Glad I'm not the only one that actually used their 3DS for KZbin

[@davidbrickproductions]

amazing video that i was glad to make a small appearance in

[@eightchzee]

this show just means so much to me, like growing up there weren't that many shows that represented asian culture so a lot of the time i didnt relate to shows on disney or cn but when ninjago aired for the first time i was ecstatic, like i was already attached to ninjas in general and now theres a whole show?? i remember going through the cn upload schedule on my tv guide just so i could see what time new episodes would air and plan my schoolwork accordingly, but sometimes tho i wish i was just a kid again sitting in front of my ridiculously large and bulky tv watching these funky little ninjas fight evil and frankly i would give anything to go back and experience the show for the first time again

[@Dakoem]

9:06 I remember back in 2015 9 year old me thought Titanium Zane was the coolest shit, and I was really excited when I got it for my birthday later that year.

[@leronelcock5765]

I remember I used to get the books more often because I was so invested

[@mr.strawberry13]

I remember first seeing the comic con 2017 sesson 8 trailer, and leak season 2018. I was hyping up season 8 so hard, i was confused about cole having a son, and the ninja looking like in the movies, and i thought "sons of garmadon" meant that we are going to see lloyd's siblings. Then the sesson actually came out, and i was not disappointed, garmadon coming back was exciting, and the reveal of harumi being evil was mind-boggling. I can also agree on the movie, i am in the minority that actually like it, although i'm still sad it isn't a part of the main story. I also remember all my friends knowing i wanted one ninjago set, and then on my birthday i got ninjago city chase thrice XD. I can also relate on artifex, and i also watched brickbuilder. And btw my first set was lloyd's jungle raider. Those are my strongest ninjago memories to this day. While i always loved ninjago, i'm glad it is getting a propper ending, unlike, sadly nexo knights. I also hope lego makes more unlicensed themes other than ninjago and monkie kid (which is expensive and hard to get in europe). I'm hoping on the hype train for ninjago G2!!!

[@Cheeseitsproductions]

Ninjago didn't air in the UK till 2014? I swear I remember watching the pilots back in 2011 back in my old house

[@LiamMcBaneProductions]

Ninjago has been a big part of my life like most of the stuff what I like my favourite is seasons are 6 & 5 and season 5 is the season what really got me into Ninjago the episode when I started watching Ninjago was the pink zane episode and one of my favourite villains is morro also it sad to see Kirby morrow passed away he will always be Cole to me and my favourite part of the fandom is dareth memes also jay & Cole are my favourite ninja I will miss Ninjago 😢

[@OraProduction]

My biggest nostalgic moment is when I was 5 and possession was out. I didn’t have any sets so I sat back and grabbed my ghost costume. I loved the season! I thought it was the last season so I rewatched ninjago and left it after I was done. Before I turned off the TV my brother said “When it was 2011 we’d sit down and watch pilot for the first time and watch until now”. My brother was so nice then. One year, 2021, My brother saw a meme on discord and showed me it and it was a ninjago meme. I went back to the pilot and grabbed Kai and Koko (not knowing it was Koko) and I’d watch it and now I’m at Crystalized and my brother is a bad brother and I discovered the ninjago movie. Odd that someone would give away s3 Kai and movie Koko for free!

[@samurai_z_fire]

This is a pretty weird Ninjago memory I have relating to that titanium ninja figure leak. I remember seeing the leaked S4 set images and thinking I had a genius theory of the season. I thought that with the Anacondrai returning it meant it took place in the past (since Pythor became a cannibal lol). Anyways, I though the "titanium ninja" was someone from the future, basically a time ninja, that took the ninja through time back to before the serpentine war to stop all the chaos that took place in season 1-3 and essentially stopping the devourer, overlord, and bringing Zane back to life, which would then lead him to become the titanium ninja in the future. I'm not sure if the new elemental masters were known about before the show/sets were officially revealed but I think I may have thought they were from the past as well (the original elemental masters) Tbh that wasn't a terrible theory considering I wasn't very knowledgeable with leaks and got my info from the preliminary images that were posted to KZbin lmao

[@jacaerys4]

I completely forgot about ArtiFex Creation holy. What a throwback

[@lpvrooom6714]

I remember the original series, when kai was the main character and wu recruited him. I had many sets of the bone army and lots of those little spinners and cards. So sad those ended and i lost the cards :(

[@Atomix_YouTube]

Ninjago is something that has had a big impact on my life, and I’m very sad to see it go. Mixed feelings course through my veins, happiness and sadness, and also, satisfaction. I am satisfied that the show is ending with a fantastic fan base, and an amazing story. Hopefully, they will make this ending a blast. I love this show, always have, and always will. Long live Ninjago! ❤

[@propandagaming66]

Ninjago is not over yet While the main story has ended There still probally much more to come because lego is not going to end its most succesful show and if all goes well we might see another season

[@bricklingtonlego]

Season 1 will forever be my favourite 🔥❄️⚡⛰️

[@kenjianimates]

I watched in 2015 cos in UK they played it then it was really fun the pilots I remember nostalgic moments the skulikings and and when the nya got capruterd

[@phinalex1393]

To be honest, I was a die hard Ninjago fan until season 12, the Oni one. The hype for me was huge, but that season was pretty disappointing, I kinda stopped watching Ninjago after that. But the seasons before possession were so nostalgic.

[@43Main]

I've been a big fan of this show since Day 1 of the pilots. I remember being so excited when I found out it was getting a full show. I still found enjoyment in it even when the show had its weak or straight up bad moments. Despite how horrible LEGO treated this show over the recent years, I cannot wait to see how it all comes to an end.

[@Parlax.]

i remember walking past a move their and seeing he the Ninjago move and i had no idea it was coming out i beg my mum and dad to go see it and i think that's why i love Ninjago so much and if you are wondering how i got into Ninjago m friend ardently put the tv on and the seson 4 finale was on i saw maby 20 seconds of it and loved it

[@staffgradeartist]

One of my favorites was when I was friends with this kid, Lincoln. We LOVED ninjago! When we were like seven possession came out and we watched the entire season.

[@generalcryptor2186]

You explained it perfectly! I watched DC and Ninjago ArtiFex and it was so oddly satisfying!

[@jo_kai2505]

I'm really late to this, but here's my own fondest memory. (it's more like, my funniest memory XD) me and my friends were really into Ninjago when I was in primary school, (i believe this was around when sky bound was airing) and we brough our minifigs to school, but fearing that they would be confiscated we brought them inside our empty water bottles. I brought my jungle Cole and a kid swiped it from my hand. that memory of running after him and trying to get it back is just ingrained in my mind. (don't worry I have it now)

[@RainSpinjitzuStudio]

I like ninjago, accepted the changed strengths and weaknesses. But somethings i never understood and always was a step back the removal of spinjitzu techniques&transformations (such as fs or airjitzu) and techniques like the elemental dragons. Sometimes risks should be taken lighter than being called overpowered. But what made me give up Ninjago was chrystalized. Me as an Autistic individual saw the harm of masking (how i masked my Aspergers Autism) it felt like that Lloyd masking his difference and also risking the intire realm was just terrible (but again it took me long to accept instead of fighting it) lloyd should embrace himself to the fullest. (harumi not sure if a narcissist Lloyd should have let go. In the end chrystalized esspecially the ending made me kind of traumatized with all the social pressure i can relate there and thats not in a good way.

[@Deathninja-et4hz]

I remember at the time where I was very disappointed coz Zane dying in end of rebooted because I thought that was the end of the series. At that time I had no knowledge of whay was next for ninjago, release date for season 4.

[@teknekality0]

I remeber watching ninjago and watching zane die and I almost cried watching it and wondering will if it wold ever come back and when I learned it aired on tv I was hooked to the show and now since it is ending Im really gonna miss it because it made my childhood great And I can't wait for next year because who know what will happen
