Trivia

This section of Hands of Time includes some or all content from the "Hands of Time" article from the Ninjago Wiki, a FANDOM project.

• The Time Twins were originally going to be one character called "Kronos."
• Their names name come from Acronis and Crux, two pieces of file sharing software used in the production of the series..
• Tommy Andreasen said "Keep in mind the the Hand of Time could have dropped out of time already and could be around scheeming."
• Despite being twins, the two have many differences:
  • Krux, who lived out in Ninjago for forty years, is old and detests technology, although he says it has uses occasionally.
  • Acronix, who was stranded in time for forty years, is young and thus is amazed and enjoys modern technology.
• The Time Twins' powers interestingly share a connection with their personalities in some ways.
  • Acronix has the power to slow down and speed up time, but can't reverse or halt it. Fitting as he enjoys the future and all the advancements that have happened while he was stranded in time, and thus does not want to go back to the old ways of life he and his brother once lived.
  • Krux has the power to halt and reverse time, but can't slow down or speed it up. Fitting as he hates the future and all the technological advancements that have happened in Ninjago over the years, and thus wants to change the past so that Ninjago remains fairly low tech.
• Their hood piece was originally used on the Rogue from Minifigures Series 16. It was later used on Plundar.
• When asked if the Time Twins had unlocked their True Potentials, Tommy Andreasen stated, "[They] didn’t seem like they had overcome the obstacles within to me."
• The Time Twins are a special case in Elemental Power succession, because the power of Time is easily divisible, allowing for it to have been distributed among the twins as different abilities from the same power. In other cases, if twins were born to an Elemental Master, it is likely that only one would inherit the element.
• Though the colored detailing around the twins' eyes was simply a designer's choice with no specific explanation, one possibility is that they are tattoos and Krux wore makeup to cover his when he was disguised as Dr. Saunders.
  • It is unknown why Krux had as Dr. Saunders black eyes as the eyes of both twins were hazel.
