Quotes
“What's so important? How about everything in Ninjago itself? Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created by the First Spinjitzu Master, by using the Four Weapons of Spinjitzu! The Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice and the Sword of Fire! Weapons so powerful, no one can handle all of their power at once! When he passed away, his two sons swore to protect them, but the oldest was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess them. A battle between brothers broke out and the oldest was struck down and banished to the Underworld. Peace returned and the younger brother hid the weapons, but knowing his older brother's relentless ambition for power, he placed a guardian to protect them. And for fear of his own demise, a map for an honest man to hide. That honest man was your father. The older brother is Lord Garmadon and I need to find those weapons before he does.”
- —Wu to Kai
“Long ago, there were many flutes, created to combat the powers of the Serpentine and drive them underground. But over time, Ninjago's forgotten its ancestors' wisdom, and now this is the only one.”
- —Wu about the Sacred Flutes
“It is easy to hit targets when your environment is exactly what you want it to be. But that is almost never a reality. In life, there will be times of chaos, when everything around you is a raging storm. The goal is to find a way to tune out the chaos.”
- —Wu to Lloyd
“When there is no calm outside of you, you must find the calm inside of you. Find your inner peace, your balance, and the outer chaos will go away.”
- —Wu to Lloyd
“Morro may have been my first pupil, but he was also my greatest regret. Before he was a cursed spirit, it wasn't I who found him, but he who found me. My brother had just gone off to train under Master Chen, which gave me time to attempt my hand at teaching. Morro was the perfect student. He did everything that was ever asked of him.”
“To become water, you must find its qualities within yourself. While earth is strong and air is fluid, Water can be both, strong and fluid. Over time, it's strong enough to carve this rock. Or if I use my cup to stop its flow, it can adapt. It's flexible, shapeless. You put water in a cup, it becomes the cup. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Be water, Nya.”
- “Cloud Kingdom? I know every square inch of Ninjago. There ain't no place called the Cloud Kingdom.”
- “You're right, it isn't in Ninjago. It's in a parallel realm that can only be reached through the Blind Man's Eye.”
— Ronin and Wu about Cloud Kingdom |
“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?”
- —Wu to Iron Baron
“Focus on your adversary no matter how insignificant. Make its strength your strength, and an enemy can be turned into a friend.”
- —Wu to the Ninja while training them
“Long before time had a name, the Dragons fought the Oni for the possession of my father. The Bringers of Doom, he called them. They have been taking the realms, one by one.”
- —Wu about the War of the Oni and the Dragons
“For years, I have trained my ninja. They have grown powerful. They have reached their True Potential. They have become family.”
- —Wu about the Ninja
“It is a part of our history. When all hope seemed loss, you confronted destruction with creation. Balance was restored. That is the power of Spinjitzu, which we must always—”
- —Wu about Spinjitzu before a portal from the Realm of Oni and Dragons opens up
“It is an Oni. My father called them the Bringers of Doom. He feared they would one day spread out from their realm and cover all the lands of creation in darkness.”
- —Wu about the Oni
“Since ancient times, the hills around this monastery have been populated by a species of highly aggressive predator. The first monks built the walls extra tall to keep them out. They failed. Many monks were lost. In order to survive, the monks became faster, stronger, more cunning. They evolved into ninja.”
- —Wu about the Ninja Monks
“Ninja never quit, and from this moment on, neither do masters! They would never quit on us, and we will never quit on them!”
- —Wu to Cole
- “It's a totem pole.”
- “But who do you supposed carved it?”
- “Is it dangerous?”
- “No, Dwayne. It's a hunk of rock! It's not alive!”
— Wu, Misako, Dwayne, and Clutch Powers about the Stone Golems |
- “I was just thinking, I know Ronin's monster was fake, but I guess I was wondering if Wojira is really still out there, somewhere.”
- “If she is, may she sleep for another thousand years.”
— Lloyd and Wu talking about Wojira |
- “Ninja. What does that even mean in surface-dweller language?”
- “A ninja is one who protects—”
- “It was a rhetorical question, I don't really care.”
— Kalmaar and Wu |
“Nya, I implore you. Whatever you're hearing, whatever you're experiencing. Fight it, Nya. Remember who you are. Remember.”
- —Wu to Nya
“We are gathered here today to honor the memory of Nya, inventor, Samurai X, ninja, Master of Water, and our dearest friend. Her courage and strength have saved us time and time again. And although we— we were unable to save her, we will always remember her. Where ever she is now, she is in our hearts.”
- —Wu delivering Nya's eulogy
