Go To

Airdate: October 10, 2022

Harumi narrates how she came back from the dead to Lloyd, and just what she's been up to since then.


  • Came Back Strong: Part of Harumi's resurrection gives her temporary super-strength.
  • Exact Words: The Crystal King commands Harumi to build her an army. And he meant it quite literally; build warriors out of vengestone.
  • I Have Many Names: The Crystal King lampshades how he has gone by many names: Dark Lord, Golden Master, Crystal King, and Overlord.
  • Lampshade Hanging: When Harumi reveals her, or more accurately the Crystal King's, plan is to steal the Golden Weapons and the powers within them, she points out the many times the ninja have been seemingly depowered over the years.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Harumi was King Vangelis's purchaser, and the person Miss Demeanor was supplying vengestone to, to build the army of warriors for the Crystal King, the Man Behind the Man Behind the Man.
  • Missed Him by That Much: Harumi was there when the ninja arrived at Shintaro, hiding behind Vangelis's throne, and when Nya's powers went on the blink fighting Miss Demeanor, hiding under a straw hat.
  • The Nothing After Death: We see Harumi in the Departed Realm. It's an endless purple void.
  • Resurrected for a Job: The Crystal King revived Harumi to serve as his agent and build her an army of Vengestone Warriors.
  • Returning Big Bad: The Crystal King is revealed to be none other than the Overlord, who was last defeated by Zane back in the "The Titanium Ninja".
  • The Reveal: The Crystal King is the Overlord.
  • Rule of Three: Harumi tries to walk away dramatically, only for Lloyd to call her back. On the third try, she snaps at him for ruining her moment.
  • Sarcasm Failure: Lloyd doesn't quite get that Harumi's being sarcastic when she says she assembled the council to put together a "villainous softball team", defending himself by saying it's hard to tell with her.
  • Special Edition Title: Instead of the usual music, there's Harumi whispering "Spider's in the House".
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Harumi tries calling Lloyd on apparently not looking for her after she died, but Lloyd reveals he did, but there was too much rubble for him to move on his own.
