Lloyd: Opening the Serpentine tombs.

Jay: Not telling the team about Nadakhan's tricks and his vision with Nya sooner.

Nya: Letting a computer dictate her feelings.

Wu: Not telling the Ninja about every potential threat they may face (so just a daily thing with him).

Cole: Allowing the beef with Jay to escalate.

I don't have anything for Kai and Zane right now.

Kai: Letting his ego almost take over Zane: Nothing he’s genuinely free of shame Cole: Letting himself beef with Jay

For Zane, I would say The Ice Emperor incident. But tbh, he was just being manipulated

And he had amnesia, so he didn't really remember who he was

Zane: dying all the time. Kai: not having his own official season. Cole: being underrated asf

I mean Kai sorta got the pilot

And kinda s4 and s1, just wasn't the mascot for the latter

u/Gacha_Maniac2 avatar

Season 4 for Kai also a shared season with Nya in season 7

Yep. Definitely agree.

Dareth: not being in dragons rising. Skylor: not joining the team. Garmadon: "protecting" ninjago from the oni.

u/Anonymous_Guy4k avatar

Imo, I was actlly ok with Skylor not joining the team. I am, however, disappointed that they're not using her much

Kai had s4 fym

u/Photonforce avatar

s4 felt like more of a garmadon season tbh, Kai had subplot highlights but just not enough overall focus.

Maybe the grim reaper just loves me

u/pedro_sone avatar

Possession was practically his season, he was the most keen on rescuing Lloyd

*cough* season 3 is kai's season *cough*

Do you mean season 4? Cos rebooted is definitely the Zane season

how is it not kai's season and how is it zane's

zane is for trying to outsmart nadakahn

Not gonna lie I thought Zane had that in the bag

He did and then the writers realized he was gonna win so they made him off himself for no reason

Kai probably being too wreckless I would say atleast in season 1 and has had his moments in other seasons. Cole & Zane im stumped on.

Let's be fair Lloyd was a child then , I will say simping for Harumi in Crystalized is arguably worse....like why did bro take her hand , was he going through the puberty hormone phase or something...smh lalloyd

It's still a mistake he made. Objectively, it's the biggest one he made period.

Subjectively, I can forgive him simping more than the tomb thing. Lloyd wanted to redeem Harumi and based on the last 5 seasons of character development, it was entirely in character for him to attempt. Plus, him simping for Harumi wasn't detrimental to the team or their quest (mostly). Lloyd opened the tombs cause he was throwing a tantrum (which I get cause he was 10. I understand that part and can overlook it) and basically caused the next 10 seasons to happen. That's crazy.

Zane: Not turning his emotions off when Nya came back and making a girl remind him about negative emotions he experianced since s1-s4

Zane: Usurping an entire Realm.

Kai: Giving up for loosing (loosing things in general)

Nya has two full ass seasons of mistakes

u/LilboyG_15 avatar

Don’t do Jay and Cole dirty like that, they just didn’t have much to do for a couple of seasons

More replies

Nya- there was the whole plot line about how not taking Jay’s hand was the catalyst for all of skybound

Zane- that diagnostic scan in the Never-Realm (rip buddy)

u/Immediate_Care_219 avatar

Nya not taking Jay’s hand was on Jay not her. Jay was being an asshole about all that.

Yeah I’ve kinda always been on her side with that too tbh, but that was supposed to be the whole ~moment~ with Skybound. Same as how Zane wasn’t really responsible for what happened to him either, but if you were to pick an isolated moment, it’d be that

Picking an isolated moment without context just seems kinda wrong though 

that’s fair, I guess I interpreted the question more as “if there was one specific action that they could chose to not take, what would it be” rather than “what is their deepest moral error”

Jay's biggest mistake was definitely not telling the ninja about the wishes and Nadakhan sooner... It absolutely came back to bite him in the butt and worse ~ trauma

Nya- I'd have to agree with the believing that silly computer with cole tbh. She does make a few iffy decisions here and there but that one was just d u m b because she's just like "Coles not jay :)"

Lloyd- again someone that's made a few mistakes here and there (tho he does make up for them after but also live with the consequences). A few of the mentioned stuff in season 8 does ring bells. But also DEFINITELY opening the serpentine tombs. That set off SO MUCH SHIT

Wu- absolutely just doing the normal Wu thing of not saying shit until the problem has arised and all the ninja have to deal with it

Garmadon- in terms of mistakes I'd say the letter with Wu but like then we wouldn't have Lloyd so unsure. He did bad things but idk if you can class them as mistakes as ... Idk it's a grey area of his evil part due to the devourer and being resurrected as evil.

Kai- hmm. The next 3 are tough. In terms of what we've seen in the show, I'm not too sure because he has made mistakes but I wouldn't class them as 'the worst'. Could honestly be some shit like him hastily using all his lives in prime empire tbh. Idk. Or if we wanna get deeper we could say him not being more mindful of his sister's feelings for jay but obv mans was just joking most the time

Zane- I feel like the 'mistakes' that Zane makes end up benefitting the team in some way tho. Like when he chose to go undercover in season 8 but it then led to the whole thing with him and Mr E later on. Because the team definitely got intel from all that but it was at Zane's expense

Cole- as of right now, probs trying to entertain the idea of being with Nya and confusing himself in the process because of the attention while damaging his friendship with Jay.

u/Gacha_Maniac2 avatar

I think the issue with Kai is liking Skylor to the point where he doesn't realize Cole loves him instead

Lloyd not immediately destroying the mask of hatred when he got it

All he had to do was leave it on the pedestal and harumi wouldn't have been able to get it. HE AND MISTAKE WERE THE ONLY ONIS WHY DID HE DO THAT

Well he thought he was the only Oni, but your point still stands

Lloyd - being a simp for Harumi

Nya - thinking she's in love with Cole because of a computer

u/FlamingDasher avatar

Computer told me that communism is good, thus i need to become a communist 

Pretty much how anyone with social media thinks

I mean, I like the idea of communism. In practice, it fails due to selfishness

Computer told me that peanuts are good for your health, thus I must look past my severe peanut allergy

I'm pretty sure Lloyd did a lot worse than that.

Don't do my boy Lloyd like that

u/Gacha_Maniac2 avatar

Harumi is a good character tho

Just in the Oni trilogy

Lloyd: taking The Mask Of Hatred. He could've just left it there and Harumi's plans would've ruined.

Nya: The love triangle in Rebooted. She really didn't needed to listen to some random computer.

Jay: not telling the team about Nadakhan's tricks

Kai: there's no major mistakes on him, i guess

Zane: committing genocide twice in The Never-Realm

Cole: as with Kai, he didn't do any major mistake.

The Ninja new didn't do any major mistakes yet.

Unless,Sora: tricking Arin into thinking he managed to give Spinjitzu to an object.

Kia sold the other Ninja's shares in Wu's Tea Shop to Ronin.

u/Somesonicfan avatar

Oh, yeah that. Thanks for the info.

Cole: as with Kai, he didn't do any major mistake.

As everyone else says, he did lead on from Nya pulling him into a love triangle and didn't back down even though he had no prior interest in her. And even called her a weirdo before she confessed how she felt

u/Photonforce avatar

Kai blew their cover in crystalized when stealing Aspheera's staff.

  • Kia sold the other ninjas' shares in Wu's Tea Shop to Ronin.

  • Cole sometimes sleeps on the job.

  • Zane tried to outsmart Nadikahn.

  • Jay has done several disrespectful things to Zane.

  • Lloyd gave away his power to the other Ninja instead of making them use their elemental light sabres.

  • Dareth gets his team mates imprisoned on more than one occasion.

  • Nya ended two worlds.

  • Wu neglected to give the ninja so much information.

  • Garmadon attempted to conquer the world and remake it in his immagine.

Zane’s whole confrontation with Nadakhan has always pissed me off on his behalf because honestly… he kind of did outsmart him. It’s just that Nadakhan completely ignored his first wish.

The first thing Zane did was wish Nadakhan wouldn’t twist his words and would understand their true intention, but then when he wished for Nadakhan not to harm him, he goes “okay… but what if I harmed P.I.X.A.L. instead haha plot twist loophole suckerrr” like??? Zane obviously meant emotional harm too, which deleting P.I.X.A.L. would qualify as, thus Nadakhan was going back on his word to uphold Zane’s wishes’ true intention. I guess Zane’s real mistake was just assuming that the wishes were airtight, which in his defence, YOU WOULD THINK THEY ARE??

Sorry, this isn’t really related to your comment, I just felt like ranting lmao

Jay: his whole trouble with nadakhan lead to the ninja and nya ‘dying’.

Cole: probably being stuck in that dump dimension or whatever it was called.

Zane: I mean, him probably dying or getting damaged every season.

Nya: turning into a water bottle.

Kai: letting Nya turn into a water bottle.

Lloyd: letting the serpentine out and trusting Harumi.

The land of lost things? How was that a mistake for Cole

Lloyd: Opening the Serpentine tombs and trusting Harumi

Jay: Not revealing Nadakhan tricks and opening Aspheera's tomb

Cole: Going back for the scroll (yes they needed it but it came at a cost)

Zane: The Diagnostic scan in the Neverrealm

Kai: Using his power in the volcano

Nya: pushed the lever forward

u/Quiet-Carpenter905 avatar

Zanes sacrifice was a bad mistake in my opinion it killed off pre season 4 Zane I’m a huge fan of that Zane

u/Intelligent-Fall5314 avatar

Yeah, the whole sacrifice scene was emotional for me and led to ToE (personal favorite season) I miss the previous Zane. I miss the OG designs too. New ones are nice and more detailed but I jsut miss the originals

u/Greenvelvet16 avatar

I also prefer pre titanium ninja Zane. I think the sacrifice was moving, and necessary, but I wished they hadn't changed him in the process.

u/Random-user28 avatar

For Lloyd is letting the snakes on the lose trusting harumi Kai is getting Chen's staff and Zane being the ice empeior jay not telling nya sooner that he loves her cole is letting his friendship with jay deteriage over a girl he doesn't love nya is letting her emotions get the best of her descions wu not telling the ninjas everything and let kids be ninjas garmadon is marrying misoka and morro is being jealous and believing wu

u/Greenvelvet16 avatar

Although Garmadon not marrying Misako would mean Lloyd didn't exist, so it was necessary.

u/Random-user28 avatar

I mean yeah it's right but it dose also means he took her from wu but if it's for Lloyd sake I love Lloyd and idc what garmadon did I just want Lloyd To be safe 🥺🥺

u/Greenvelvet16 avatar

I don't really see it as being his fault, he was cursed after all. I feel like after Garmadon sacrificed himself, Misako, and Wu sort of silently hooked up again. Or they will at some point.

u/Random-user28 avatar

Yeah that's what I hate misako isn't really loyal to her husband nor her son I feel like Koko from the movies 100x better

Loyd being racist to oni and being a dick to his dad

u/Quiet-Carpenter905 avatar

Jay being changed to be the funny one Kai thinking his parents were evil Cole losing his leadership role on the team sensei Wu always keeping secrets from the ninja sensei garmadon sacrificing himself in my opinion it should have been pythor

u/Quiet-Carpenter905 avatar

Loyd always having the spotlight

Lloyd : quit his great responsibilities by giving up his great powers (giving up golden powers which made Zane die)

Being in Season 8

u/Greenvelvet16 avatar

Lloyd-Still having feelings for Harumi after he knew she was so awful.

Zane- I'll have to second the person who said letting Nadakhan get the better of him.

Cole- Trying to compete with Jay over Nya.

Jay- Not bringing an extra pair of underwear.

Kai- Mistakenly thinking that he has endless lives in Prime Empire, and losing most of them quickly.

Nya- I can't think of one for Nya right now, unless we just talk about how she shouldn't have entertained the idea of crushing on two guys at the same time....

Lloyd opening those god damn serpentine tombs

Bro literally caused most of the problems in the show

Cole turning gay

Nya: being a character
