Crystalized

The fifteenth season in the LEGO Ninjago series has been confirmed. It is set for release in the Summer of 2022. The focus character is unknown, and the Crystal King is the main antagonist. The Crystal Samurai serve as the villainous faction.

It is likely the sixth and final season in the Book of Elements arc. Which elemental chapter and character it focuses on are unknown, but the villainous faction retellings may be the past villain's ghosts in the Crystal Samurai. The collectible items in this season are the Dragon Swords.

In January 2022, a series of shorts titled The Virtues of Spinjitzu were released as the first 2022 Ninjago installments preceding Season 15.

It is preceded by Seabound and followed by an unknown installment.

The sets that represent the Virtues of Spinjitzu episodes. These sets do not have an official mascot, but Wu is featured on most of the boxes even though he only appears in only one of them. Seven banners are the collectible items. The set backgrounds are in a cartoonish style, and it seems like they resemble the Mountains of Impossible Height.

Speculation

 * Based on the teaser trailer that was released, which showed the intro for what I would assume is Episode 2 of the season, Jay has become a recluse and is now living in Dr. Julien's lighthouse prison after the loss of Nya, and the beginning of the season is about the other four Ninja bringing him back. The only dialogue in this footage is at the end when the five of them put their hands in and say "for Nya!" which probably means they're going to find a way to bring her back.
 * Also in these shots you can see Lloyd wearing some sort of delivery boy outfit and Kai wearing his Red Shogun suit, which maybe means that the Ninja do something similar to what they did after Season 3, when they got odd jobs to not be a Ninja after Zane's death.
 * Set leaks seem to imply there will be a big focus on gold and dragons. This leads me to believe that we're being set up for the "Gold Chapter" to conclude the Book of Elements.
 * Seemingly new characters depicted in the sets are the Crystal King and his Crystal Samurai.
 * Nya appears in the new sets with a new Samurai X mech after merging with the sea at the end of Seabound. This is unknown how or why yet.
 * My theory on what is going to happen goes as follows. Jay seeks out Nadakhan's Teapot of Tyrahn in order to somehow find a way to bring Nya back, but in doing so, his wish causes some bad shit to happen and some like old villains come back and stuff. Also, the Vengestone Buyer definitely comes into play, and it is Pythor.

Continuity

 * The Virtues of Spinjitzu episodes show Wu using his Creation powers to the fullest extent we've ever seen it, being able to manifest entire locations and beings and impress them on the Ninja.
 * The flashback in which Lilly dances with Lou in The Virtues of Spinjitzu may be inspired by Way of the Departed, where it is mentioned in Chapter 3 that Lilly and Lou often danced outside on the terrace of their house, and Cole secretly watched.
