Continuity

 * Unagami and Okino from Season 12 make their reappearance in this season.
 * The Teapot of Tyrahn returns in this season after being absent in The Island. This continues the trend of the teapot appearing in almost every installment since Season 11.
 * The teapot is seen on display at the Explorer's Club headquarters, implying that after Clutch Powers found it in the Desert of Doom, and the Ninja realized it was missing, he put it on display. At the end of the episode it appears in, it is flung out of the building when Wojira crashes into it.
 * Kai & Nya's parents, Ray & Maya, appear in this season for the first time since their introduction in The Hands of Time. It is implied through words of the writers off-screen that the married couple went on a well-deserved vacation after being freed from the clutches of Krux.
 * This season reveals massive amounts of lore that dates back to before the beginnings of Ninjago, which had never been previously explored.
 * Previously, it was known that the Golden Peaks existed before "Ninjago," as it is traditionally known, and the First Spinjitzu Master used the molten gold in the mountain to form the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu to create the landmass that would become Ninjago and the Dark Island.
 * It is revealed in this season that the realm that Ninjago is in existed long before the First Spinjitzu Master's arrival and was a planet of mostly ocean and storms ruled by Wojira. The Merlopians were the primary sentient life forms on the planet.
 * The First Spinijtzu Master commanded all of the Elemental Powers except for Water and Wind, which belonged to Wojira. In order to create a peaceful world, the First Spinjitzu Master created the Keepers and enlisted the help of the Merlopians to defeat Wojira and calm the seas. With their help, he pries the Storm and Wave Amulets off of Wojira which plunges her into a deep sleep. He gives the Storm Amulet to the Keepers to protect, and the Wave Amulet to the Merlopians.
 * This means that Wojira and the Merlopians predate the existence of "Ninjago" itself. The creation of Ninjago was originally the beginning of the timeline.
 * Because the First Spinjitzu Master commanded all the Elements except for Water and Wind, it is possible that this is why those two Elements were left out of Clouse's spell to turn everyone into an Anacondrai.
 * The First Master of Water is revealed to be a Merlopian named Nyad. This makes Maya, Kai, & Nya descendants of Merlopians.
 * If Maya knew about her Merlopian ancestry, it's possible she named Nya after Nyad.
 * In the pilot episode, the villain Miss Demeanor is seen attempting to steal mass amounts of Vengestone for some unknown reason. This is the second instance of mass amounts of Vengestone being exported to some mysterious place, after the Skull Sorcerer reveals that he has been getting paid by a "buyer" to mine the Vengestone in the dungeons of Shintaro.
 * At the end of the season, Nya becomes one with the Endless Sea, literally becoming Water. She leaves the Ninja team as she is called to the sea.
 * The Ninja all say their goodbyes, and several previous characters in the series pay their respects to her, making it out like she was killed.
 * It may be implied that she could somehow come back, as it is said that the First Master of Water, Nyad, also became one with the sea, but since Nya is her descendant, she had to come back somehow to have children. This is pure speculation.
 * This new form that Nya takes is referred to as "NRG Nya" in the sets. This adds to the collection of NRG Ninja (or True Potential Ninja) that was originally started in Season 1, when each Ninja became one with their Elemental Power.
