Tournament of Elements

Tournament of Elements is the fourth season of the Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu series. It was originally released on February 25th, 2015. Kai is the focus character for this season and Master Chen is the main antagonist. The Anacondrai Cultists serve as the villainous faction.

It is the second installment in the Master Trials arc. It focuses on Kai and his journey to learn that power isn't what makes someone special, and to accept himself. This season features a special minifigure variant of Kai featured in the TV show, that being Powered Kai. This version of Kai does not appear as a physical minifigure. The collectible weapons this season are the Jade Blades.

It is preceded by Rebooted and followed by Possession.

Plot Summary
After the loss of Zane, the team is split apart, and Lloyd seeks to rebuild it. But everything changes when they find out that Zane is alive, and that crime lord, Master Chen, invites the ninja and the other Elemental Masters to a Tournament, so that he can steal their powers in order to complete a spell that will turn him and his worshippers into Anacondrai.

Continuity

 * This is the first time we are shown other Elemental Masters besides the Ninja.
 * Chen mentions that he knows the truth of what happened to Kai and Nya's parents. It's implied that he was just lying to Kai in order to gain his trust, but this does foreshadow the sinister truth behind their disappearances when Kai and Nya were young.
 * Morro appears at the very end of the season, having escaped through the portal that Garmadon opened up to banish Chen and his army.
 * Pythor returns again in this season, having been shrunk by the Nano Pill Cyrus Borg developed during Rebooted. He is grown up again by the end of this season, and plots his return.
