History Awesome / Ninjago

'''Wu:''' [[BadassBoast Or else I will reclaim my father's armor and ask his dragon to end your rule. I am the Son of the First Spinjitzu Master and this is my oath!]]

* The battle against the Serpentine in "All Or Nothing". Skeletons return.

-->'''Garmadon''': [[BadassBoast "You bit me once, now feel what it's like to be bitten back!"]]

--> '''Harumi''': This. This is what I wanted. To see your father's return, and for you to lose everything. How does it feel to see the end?\\

'''Lloyd''': No. I won't let it do to me what it did to you. This isn't the end, Harumi. This is just the beginning. Without my power, without my friends, I'm gonna fight you. I'm gonna fight on. Because a ninja never quits.\\

[Cue Harumi screaming in pure rage and taking an ineffective swing at Lloyd, allowing him to escape]

* Also, the Ninjas performing the Tornado of Creation for the first time.

-->'''Zane''': We're coming for you, Pythor!

* While we're at it, Jay and Cole unlocking their true potential counts. Jay saved him and Nya by stopping a full speed roller coaster and Cole was able to save himself and his father from heavy rubble.

* Nya is able to defeat all of the ninjas and create a alter ego called Samurai X by herself which is pretty amazing.

** [[BadassBoast "You bit me once, now feel what it's like to be bitten back!"]]

* In "Double Trouble" Jay's evil clones taunts Jay that he kissed Nya. In response Jay brutally beats up his evil self into oblivion.
* Lloyd grabbing his mother and leaping out of the way in slow motion just as the Stone Warrior is about to kill them.

* From "The Island of Darkness", we have the ninja regaining their powers, plus gaining new outfits and weapons and the fight scene that follows.

** The fight as a whole is awesome. This line in particular stands out:
--> '''Overlord''': You can't defeat me! Where there is light, there will always be shadow!
--> '''Lloyd''': [[ShutUpHannibal Unless my light is brighter!]] (blasts the Overlord with a stream of light)
** Don't forget the fact that Lloyd turns into a ''golden dragon made out of light!''

* The technoblades’ ability to hack the evil machines and (in some cases) transform them is pretty awesome.
* Wu’s impressive BatmanGambit in “The Surge” to get Lloyd and the Techno Blades out of New Ninjago City and the Overlord’s clutches. First, he gets the Overlord’s attention by carrying the blades in a blanket while running across several rooftops, allowing Lloyd and the ninja to escape. Then Wu knocks out a nearby security camera before using floating traffic lights to jump between buildings, secretly passing off the Techno Blades to Kai in his jet before the Overlord’s forces catch up to him, [[HeroicSacrifice all at the cost of Wu getting captured]].
* Zane showing throughout Season 3 that while he may be outdated compared to the newer model Nindroids, he’s still able to kick tons of ass, as shown by his almost effortless capturing of a brainwashed PIXAL and him punching and kicking his way through several Nindroids to rescue her from Cryptor.
--> '''Zane:''' (''to a brainwashed PIXAL'') [[BadassBoast You may call me old, but not slow!]]
* Zane and PIXAL teaming up in “Blackout” to take on Cryptor and the Nindroids surrounding them, creating a two-person Spinjitzu tornado to defeat them.

* In episode 28, we see Garmadon's [[BadassDriver driving skills. ]] Who knew that a guy as old as he is could jump a car across a chasm?
* From episode 29, Zane and P.I.X.A.L. fighting the Nindroids together.

-->'''Pythor:''' But your oath! You swore never to fight!
-->'''Garmadon:''' When you took my son, ''[[PapaWolf all bets were off.]]''

* In "Versus", after arguing over who Nya loves more and generally treating each other like crap, Cole and Jay finally put their differences aside, refuse to fight each other in their match, and rebel against Chen. Also, Cole giving the Jadeblade to Jay so he could move on instead.
* Cole pulling an escape attempt in the factory in "Spy For a Spy" was this, especially when you consider he wanted them to throw him in a cell so he can grab the guards keys.
* Cole, Zane, Jay, and Karlof staging a breakout using their newly-built roto jet, and using it to save the other Elemental Masters.
** Hell, the fact that they managed to create a ''fully-functioning'' jet (complete with working weapons) [[MacGyvering out of nothing but noodle machine parts and memorized schematics from Karlof’s memory]] within the span of twenty-four hours is an amazing feat by itself. [[Series/TheATeam A-Team]], eat your hearts out.

* Garmadon's final battle with Clouse. He's floundering at the edge of a portal, lets go, ''launches himself across it'', grabs Clouse to pull him in, and ''climbs up Clouse'' to get out of the portal. Your argument is invalid.
* All of the Elemental Masters finally coming together as one to take on Chen and his army of Anacondrai, forming their own dragons to fly off the island.

--> '''Zane:''' I’m not an outdated relic anymore!
* Arcturus and his generals are freed from what is essentially Hell, and the first thing they do? Send Chen and his army right to where they came from as vengeance for setting their tribe up to be entombed and killed, and then insulting their legacy by wearing their remains.

--> '''Arcturus:''' YOU WILL NEVER BE ONE OF US, CHEN. BECAUSE YOU ARE A LIAR, A CHEAT, AND AN IMPOSTOR!

** Likewise, his reason for helping the Ninja? HE'S more EvilerThanThou to all of the other villains, and not just some lackey. If anyone else gets in his way, he'll do ANYTHING to ensure they're dead.

* Kai succeeding in reaching out to Lloyd, stalling Morro enough for the Ninja to claim the Sword of Sanctuary.

* Skylor appearing in Cursed World Part 1.
* Ronin repaying his enormous debt to Morro. Specifically, he basically dumps his life savings onto the house, and subsequently Morro, that the latter is levitating, and is able to give Lloyd enough time to get inside and get the Realm Crystal.

* Captain Soto has an offscreen one in season six sealing Nadakhan in the Teapot Of Tyrahn, and exiled the rest of the Sky Pirates across the sixteen realms.

** Lloyd's friends have seemingly been killed in front of him by his resurrected father and he's successfully conquered Ninjago, all while Harumi mocks him while inciting him to give in to his grief, this also comes a few minutes after giving him an offer to [[WeCanRuleTogether rule alongside her and Garmadon]], does he breaks down in tears? Well, yes, but does he gives in to his hatred and ends up joining her?. Hell no, he doesn't. Instead he tells Harumi that [[ShutUpHannibal even without his powers or friends he'll never give up and one day will stop her and Garmadon]]. Just as Harumi is about to kill him, Lloyd decides to basically flip her off and turn her own BadassBoast against her, which ends up making her lose her cool, giving into her childhish rage and impulses, which allows Lloyd to escape, the exact opposite of what her HannibalLecture was supposed to do.
--> '''Harumi''': ''This. This is what I wanted, to see your father's return and for you to lose everything!. How does it feel to see the end?''
--> '''Lloyd''': ''[[ShutUpHannibal No]]. I won't let it do to me what it did to you. This isn't the end, Harumi, this is just the beginning. Without my power, without my friends, I'm gonna fight on because [[TheDeterminator a ninja never quits]]''.
--> '''Harumi''': ''Well then, goodbye Lloyd''.
--> '''Lloyd''': ''Before I go, just answer me this: You said the greatest villain was the one who got away. Then, what am I?''.
--> [Cue Harumi screaming in pure rage and taking an ineffective swing at Lloyd, allowing him to escape]

* The Season 9 trailer shows that after a 3 year and 5 season absence the Elemental Masters are back, and helping Lloyd's LaResistance movement. This alone indicates how high the stakes have been raised.

* The ninja managing to hijack the Dieselnaut from Iron Baron in “The Weakest Link” using the skills they learned from Faith, with Cole using the rig’s turret to shoot the helicopter Iron Baron is riding in out of the sky.
* Wu finally regaining all of his memories in “Saving Faith”, aging up into a young adult and proceeding to kick the asses of all the Dragon Hunters holding the ninja prisoner. In the words of Jay: “Master Wu is back, baby!”
--> '''Wu:''' You let my ninja go, or else!
--> '''Iron Baron:''' Or else, what?
--> '''Wu:''' [[BadassBoast Or else I will reclaim my father’s armor and ask his dragon to end your rule! I am the son of the First Spinjitzu Master, and this is my oath]]!
* Firstbourne imprisoning Iron Baron alive in molten magma with no food or water after he attempts to control her with the Dragon Armor.
** Prior to that, there's the epic speech Wu gives to Iron Baron regarding how the former decieved the latter into thinking it was the Dragon Armor that allowed the First Spinjitzu Master to control Firstbourne when it was actually his pure heart, something which Iron Baron lacks:
-->'''Wu:''' You know, I've learned a lot of things since I came to this realm. My ninja taught me responsibility, confidence, a sense of humor, and to listen to the voice within. But I also learned something from you: You taught me the power of lies! You didn't really think the Dragon Armor is what made Firstbourne obey my father, did you? It was because of his heart. She sensed goodness in him. What does she sense in ''you''?

* Okino decides to rebel against Unagami to help the ninja defeat the red dragon instead of leaving them to die in favour of a chance to enter the real world, later set out to embark on his own journey.

* Jay and Nya winning the dance contest with some sick (of likely impractical) dance moves even while they and the other ninja fight off attacking Red Visors. For some extra awesome points, Cole once again performs the [[CallBack Triple Tiger Sashay]].
* Racer Seven finally manages to win the Speedway Five Billion with the help of the ninja and by going against her programming to crash every time she’s about to win, as well as her helping the ninja get away from oncoming Red Visors.
* Okino appears in the real world, helping to protect people from Unagami’s invading forces.

--> '''Wu:''' Vania is right. I have been neglecting my duties. What has been the principle lesson of all my teachings?
--> '''Cole:''' Ninja never quit!
--> '''Wu:''' Exactly! Ninja never quit! And from this moment on, neither do masters! They would never quit on us, and we will never quit on them! Burst or not, we have a dragon to face!

-->'''Twitchy:''' [[BringIt Come on, storm! Give me all you’ve got!]]

-->'''Percy:''' We are members of the Explorers Club. We laugh in the face of danger! Ha, ha, ha! Tally ho!
-->'''Underhill:''' You will rue the day you ruffians stormed our club. Ho, ho, ho!
-->'''Smythe:''' You'll receive no quarter here!

** Pythor's role in the fight is just as awesome. For the first time in the entire series he uses his invisibility to fight, not flee or hide. The result is that he becomes a stealthy, deadly battler who can catch his foes off-guard at any moment. While the other council members are frequently tossed around, beaten up, and are running for their lives throughout the fight, Pythor walks away with barely a scratch.

** After having been thoroughly trounced by Mr. E, Zane takes on his successor with ease, starting by sideswiping Mister F mid-air to save PIXAL. The two are evenly matched at first, until Zane reclaims the remaining Shuriken of Ice and uses it to knock down a billboard that ''crushes'' Mister F, presumably destroying him.

** After spending the beginning of the season at odds, Kai and Jay briefly work together to fight Aspheera and Pythor. Even when they're later divided into one-on-one fights, they prove capable of outmatching their foes on their own. Jay manages to circumvent Pythor's invisibility by electrifying the roof they're fighting on, knocking Pythor out instantly and reclaiming the Nunchucks of Lightning. Kai, meanwhile, trades blows with Aspheera before [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom taking her out with one solid punch]] and reclaiming the Sword of Fire. Not only is it the first time Kai's defeated a main antagonist on his own (even if Aspheera has been DemotedToDragon), he also finally gets some payback for her stealing his powers back in Season 11.
