Synopsis
=Season 1=
==Part 1==
After Crystalized, a phenomenon known as "the Merge" combines Ninjago with the rest of the sixteen realms of creation, introducing new threats, and causing chaotic aftershocks called MergeQuakes. Years later, Lloyd befriends two civilians: Arin, a huge fan of the Ninja, and Sora, a technopath from the totalitarian kingdom of Imperium. The three are tasked with finding the rest of the scattered ninja and combating the Claws of Imperium, who hunt dragons in order to drain their life force and power their kingdom.
==Part 2==
The ninja, having successfully rescued the dragons trapped in Imperium, set out on a quest to find the three Dragon Cores, powerful artifacts that can stop the MergeQuakes. They split off into three teams: Lloyd and Arin; Nya and Sora; and Kai and Wyldfyre. Together, they search the Merged Realms for the cores, discovering more members of their team, new creatures, and even new elemental masters. Empress Beatrix, the ruler of Imperium, manages to steal the Dragon Cores in order to create a powerful weapon to defeat the ninja for good.
=Season 2=
==Part 1==
Lloyd begins having distressing visions of a Blood Moon and seeks help from the Source Dragons. He and the ninja are led to Egalt and Rontu, two dragon masters who can teach the ninja a special technique called "Rising Dragon." Deep in the Wyldness, Lord Ras reassembles an ancient clan of warriors known as the Wolf Clan, and revives a dark and corrupted form of Spinjitzu known as Shatterspin. The Wolf Clan prepares for a ritual on the soon-approaching Blood Moon to free an ancient group of evil elemental masters, known as the Forbidden Five, from imprisonment.
==Part 2==
When three Arc Dragons are mysteriously murdered for their crowns of horns, the ninja must participate in the Tournament of the Sources to search for the culprit. Meanwhile, Arin begins to wonder about his position in the ninja after being told by Ras of the person responsible for the Merge and the disappearance of Arin's parents.
=Season 3=
==Part 1==
The Forbidden Five are seeking out five Prismatic Blades across the Merged Realms in order to free Thunderfang, the Shatter Dragon of Chaos, from his imprisonment. Meanwhile, the ninja search for Jay, who vanished after losing in the Tournament of the Sources, and Arin, who left to search for his parents with the help of Lord Ras.
==Part 2==
With Sora joining Ras and Arin, the ninja are seeking to get them back and find Arin’s parents, who are recently revealed to be alive. Meanwhile, Thunderfang is planning to destroy all the Merged Realms and the ninja must summon the Arc Dragon of Focus to stop him once and for all.
