Master Trials

The Master Trials arc is the second arc in the Ninjago Masters of Spinjitzu series. It tells individual stories of each Ninja overcoming some trial, and leans into the plot of Lloyd someday becoming a Master.

Each of the six Ninja must go through trials in their own individual season. Zane learns that it's not about numbers, it's about family, Kai learns to think of people other than himself, Lloyd gets over the loss of his father, Jay learns that patience is a virtue, Cole learns to be "seen," and Nya and Kai each learn to embrace the past and the future. Each focus Ninja also gets a special edition suit, not like the others.

The focus characters of this arc, in order, are Zane, Kai, Lloyd, Jay, Wu, Cole, and Kai & Nya. This arc lacks an overall main antagonist.

The seasons the arc is made up of are the Rebooted, Tournament of Elements, Possession, Skybound, Dark Island Trilogy, Day of the Departed, and The Hands of Time, and makes up 48 episodes.

It is preceded by the Prophecy of the Green Ninja and succeeded by the Oni Trilogy. A midquel between this season and Season 8 was released to tie together the loose ends that remain after changes made because of The LEGO Ninjago Movie titled Way of the Departed. Chapters have been releasing infrequently by Tommy Andreasen on Twitter since 2017. It is considered "could-be-canon," as it doesn't conflict with canon, and serves to answer the remaining unanswered questions that The Hands of Time left.
