Biography
Quotes
“This must be what Sensei meant by unlocking our hearts. I remember now. I remember everything. I remember my father and how he cared for me. I remember where I came from. And I feel stronger for knowing.”
- —Zane to his friends
“This isn't about numbers, it's about family! Go ninja, go!”
- —Zane before his "sacrifice"
“The Ice Dragon from my nightmare. It's quite visible and quite angry.”
- —Zane about the Titanium Dragon
“I faced my fear. When I realized it wasn't something in front of me that held me back, but something inside me, I found a deeper power. A dragon power.”
- —Zane to the Elemental Masters about unlocking his Elemental Dragon
“Ronin, the bounty hunter, our sometimes ally, whose loyalty shifts with the tide of battle and fortune?”
- —Zane about Ronin
“Though now extinct, the Grundal was one of the most feared and dangerous creatures in all of Ninjago. With claws that can slice through steel and heightened senses that could detect the stealthiest ninja from miles away.”
- —Zane about Grundals
“It's Ninjago. It's really not that hard to pronounce.”
- —Zane to Faith
“I'm afraid there's little cause for optimism. Our situation is dire. The Bounty's engine will not start without the Thermolytic Inverter.”
- —Zane about the Thermolytic Inverter
“I see only one option: The digestive system of a beetle is very slow. There is a good chance the Thermolytic Inverter is still intact inside Beohernie's stomach.”
- —Zane about the Thermolytic Inverter
“Greetings, friend. If you have found this recording, then I am no longer here. My name is Zane. I'm a stranger in this land, trying to find my way home. It's difficult to keep track of the days in this place. It feels like I've been here a long time, but I refuse to give up hope. I am attempting to repair the mech. Unfortunately, the processing unit is damaged. In order to fix it, I must connect myself to the mech and run a system diagnostic. If anything were to interrupt the diagnostic, it could cause my operating system to reboot. In case something goes wrong, this is the last recording of Zane, Master of Ice, son of Dr. Julien, student of Master Wu. I was built to protect those who cannot protect themselves and I have tried to fulfill this purpose. Goodbye to my friends... and... to Pixal, I love you. As Kai would say, here goes... nothing!”
“Ninjago City. My city. I know it like the insides of my own circuits. Which is why I know . . . It has a dark side. My best friends are trapped in an immersive video game called Prime Empire. Yeah, you heard me right. They’re being held there by a villain named Unagami. But Unagami isn’t his real name. It’s as fake as a used car salesman’s smile. His true identity is Milton Dyer, the computer programmer who designed Prime Empire. The only hope for them getting out of the digital world rests on finding Dyer in the real world. My world. I was fishing for leads, but for now I find myself adrift on a sea of dead ends.”
- —Zane narrating
“Buddy's Pizza was no different than any other hole-in-the-wall pizza joint. Except it had the best games in town. It had been shut down by the fuzz due to the disappearances.”
- —Zane about Buddy's Pizza
“There's an ancient Ninjago proverb that says, ‘An enemy divided, is more easily conquered.”
- —Zane describing a Ninjago saying
- “To my knowledge, there is only one person ever to emerge from the storm belt.”
- “Correct. A man named Timothy Batterson. Batterson was part of a balloon tour which was blown off course. He claimed it was blown into a storm belt and eventually crashed on an uncharted island.”
— Zane and Pixal talking about Timothy Batterson |
- “Iwish I could turn off my emotion meter. Then I- I wouldn't miss my parents anymore. And- and- and I could just run away and- and- and everything would be fine.”
- “My creator Dr. Julien once attempted to protect me from feelings of grief by erasing my memory banks. But now, I am beginning to see that emotions, even unpleasant ones, do in fact serve a purpose.”
- “Like what?”
- “They are telling you to go home.”
- “But- but- what if my parents don't forgive me?”
- “They will, Sally.”
- “How do you know?”
- “It does not take a Nindroid to see that your parents love you very much.”
- “You think so?”
- “I know so.”
— Zane comforting Sally |
- “Say, did you turn your emotions back on?”
- “I did indeed.”
- “And why is that?”
- “I realized there is a benefit to them, even grief.”
- “There's hope for you yet, Zane.”
— Kai and Zane |
Trivia
- He was the first ninja to reach his True Potential.
- He is the only Ninja to not reach his True Potential obtaining a Fangblade, as the ninja weren't searching for the Fangblades at the time.
- Zane has a sixth sense, which has manifested in clairvoyance and an uncanny ability to sense what others cannot. He also was able to communicate with the Falcon and detect its presence, though this may be related to their similar origins.
- His greatest fear is him losing his humanity.
- Zane is similar to Elsa because they both have powers over ice, lived in ice castles in the mountains, created sentient ice beings, had a position of authority, and had a part of their body frozen.
- At Zane's funeral, Cyrus had said that he was a perfect balance between humans and technology.
- When the Master of Ice left, Zane acted "stranger than usual," implying that the Master of Ice gave his powers to Zane.
- This may be the reason why Zane has such a cool, calm, and collected personality. This also indicates that Zane may have had a somewhat different personality before the event occurred.
- Zane's name in early concepts was Boon and Whitman.[1][2]
- Additionally, in preliminary concepts of Zane, he was supposed to be a "rad snowboarder" type of character, and voice actor Brent Miller was told to do a chill and laid back voice for him. His performance, in the end, inspired the Hageman Brothers to then change his character to a droid to fit his monotonous voice and straight-cut military hair.[3]
- He learned holographic transformations between the Return of the Time Twins and the Fall of Ninjago.[4]
