The Island

The Island is the sixteenth installment in the LEGO Ninjago series. It was originally released on November 19th, 2021. Lloyd is the focus character of this season, and Chief Mammatus is the main antagonist. The Keepers of the Amulet serve as the villainous faction.

It is the fourth installment in the Book of Elements arc. This season encompasses the Energy Chapter, and the villainous faction retellings are the Anacondrai Cultists in the Keepers of the Amulet. Lloyd is the focus character, as this season keeps track of his journey to rescue his mother from the Island of the Keepers. The collectible item for this season is the Storm Amulet.

In May 2021, a series of mock vlog videos titled Ninja Vlogs were released. They are non-canon, but take place during the events of this installment.

It is preceded by Master of the Mountain and followed by Seabound.

Continuity

 * Ronin makes his reappearance this season after being absent since Season 9. As per usual he's up to his old business.
 * Wu being with Misako and Clutch in the premiere episode was foreshadowed in the previous season when Wu declared that he wanted to go on another adventure (after the one he had in Shintaro.)
 * Fugi-Dove is confirmed to have been captured by Ronin in the first episode after having broken out of jail in the episode Level Thirteen.
 * Curiously, he is not seen in the finale with the other inmates.
 * The storm spirit Wojira is officially revealed as a real creature that exists, after having been foreshadowed in Season 8 and Season 11.
 * It is revealed that the Keepers who inhabit the titular island were guardians of a sacred Storm Amulet. They were placed there by the First Spinjitzu Master to keep the amulet away from Wojira, who is said to have existed "long before Time had a name," (a reference to the iconic beginning prologue speech from Wu in Season 1.)
 * This is the first introduction to the Amulets of Wojira, with the Storm Amulet taking center focus in this season.
 * The Wave Amulet also appears on her head when Wojira is shown at the bottom of the sea in the finale episode.
 * This also sets up the next season, as it is revealed that it was placed there by Prince Kalmaar in an attempt to awaken it.
 * Jay remarks that his parents used to call him "their little gift," referencing the fact that he was literally dropped on their doorstep when he was a baby.
 * At the end of the installment Clutch Powers attempts to steal the Storm Amulet but is caught, and the amulet is returned to its shrine. It's revealed in the next season that this amulet is a fake, and he swapped it out for the real one before he was caught.
