Hi I bring a panel here, thanks to Pinterest.
So remember when Kuro leave the bar to get a secret power for shig? Smth afo left for him... apparently?
Unless I got the wrong panel...I do think Macchi is the so called power. Kuro was captured bc of that ...but not the obvious giant apparently.
My question ...what shig was supposed to do with Macchia if the MPA haven't fall into his lap? Actually what was the plan here?
Give Macchi to shig and....let's hope for the best.
Yeah. I do consider Macchia a plot hole.
Hi @mikeellee 👋
Yep the secret power was indeed machia!
Yes kurogiri was captured because he went to the mountains but gran Torino, naomasa and his squad also tried to apprehend machia but failed and naomasa was heavily injured. We can see this in chapter 162-163 they literally say that it was a miracle that they managed to capture kurogiri with how machia left them incredibly wounded.
I think that machia would of added to the man power of the league and help stir rumours that would help the leauge operate without the public or police being on their tail. Machia was also incredibly loyal to AFO so he could of tried to break him out of prison and cause a lot of damage that would leave people scared and the government panicking so shig and the league steal the chance to do whatever they needed to do.
The MVA falling into the hands of Shigaraki was lucky and so did machia.
However I would of really enjoyed some build up for machia and development because him not liking AFO and betraying them ended up feeling like it happend for the sake of plot

A shifting of the rubble on the street up ahead broke Gigantomachia out of his musing, and he tensed, readying to face an enemy. There was a strange pattering, like that of little feet, as he drew closer, and Machia raised his fists, squaring his shoulders as—
A small child walked into view.
He stared in confusion for a long moment, his stance briefly relaxing. But when the child—maybe around four years old or so—looked up at him, Machia’s entire body went rigid once more.
He knew those blank eyes. That soulless stare.
Even on a face much younger than Machia had ever seen it, All For One’s visage was unmistakable.
Gift fic for @kstbj (that you’ve already seen but now it’s on AO3 🙈) Happy holidays! You deserve it and much more 🙌❤️

Obviously it would be way too many villains to juggle and thus give justice but could you fucking imagine if they brought back ALL of the old villains for Crystalized, even the ones who were already brought back in Day of the Departed?
We know Traveler's Tea can bring back the dead from the Departed Realm. But instead of Morro, who has already proven himself to be chill, maybe the Preeminent could be brought back in his place, since she was the true villain of Possession. The Preeminent could take a smaller minifigure form, or even be a miniaturized Lego build. Her being a lot smaller is because she got weaker from being dead longer, and Pixal defeating her.
Nadakhan gets brought back and it turns out he remembers all of Skybound, just as Jay and Nya do! Or he doesn't. Jay and Nya explain to the others that there was a whole season that just got undone, and given their experiences with time travel, it's not entirely out of the question for them to accept this. Nadakhan can't grant wishes anymore because that's a huge can of worms from a writing standpoint... Maybe the Overlord used technology to limit him, knowing what he was getting into because he heard the stories of Nadakhan. Or maybe his wish-granting was lost due to Djinjago's destruction, which is what Dragons Rising did. Again this is inconsistent lore but it's Ninjago so whaddya expect.
Yang is still haunting the Temple of Airjitzu, but as a chill and reasonable ghost. Maybe he gets crystalized (can ghosts be crystalized???), brainwashing and forcing him to the Crystal King's council.
Acronix and Krux are easy to explain, in fact the way they were left in canon is just begging for them to make a comeback, because if Wu did, why not them? Tbh a part of me thinks Machia is, in some ways, a better fit for this role; She much better represents her villain faction than the Time Twins do, since she's an actual Vermillion. Maybe all three characters can represent Hands of Time; Machia was also there with the Time Twins as part of Iron Doom, so again, easy explanation. The Iron Doom falls out of the time vortex and idk gets obliterated by the impact, maybe it lands on some explosive stuff, so only the Time Twins and/or Machia make it out alive; So there's no Vermillion army or time machine to rely on.
Iron Baron somehow survived getting encased in molten metal; I dunno how but he just did. He somehow broke himself free. Maybe his mechanical arm was still functional.
Should the Omega Oni be included? It might seem redundant with the Overlord there, but he technically WAS a big arc villain. It was a very short arc by Ninjago standards but whatever. Maybe having the Omega there could be used to contrast his existence with the Overlord's, and/or explain what the Overlord's whole relation to the Dragon/Oni divide even is.
Vex is retrieved from the Never-Realm. He's probably the least justified of all the villains to bring back given he's canonically a wimp, but maybe the Overlord selects him specifically for the psychological torment it'd bring on Zane. I like to think that Zane unsettles the Overlord because while it makes sense for the First Spinjitzu Master, and later his grandson, to defeat him... By comparison, Zane is a nobody in the eyes of the Overlord, just a master of another regular element, no more special than the rest; And yet he still beat him, put the Overlord down longer than Lloyd even did. So he's scared of Zane deep down, and he's using Vex as a way to get back at him.
Unagami gets corrupted by an evil virus because the Overlord already has experience with hacking given his stint in Rebooted. Unagami might be a bit more problematic for censors because once the show starts depicting him as a literal child, it might make censors uncomfortable to have him getting beaten up under any context, even if he did re-assume his Prime Empire form.
Mammatus is... Well, he could easily be crystalized. But given how his character is a racial caricature, I wouldn't be surprised if Lego wanted to avoid touching his character anymore; I suspect he was written as an actually reasonable person to avoid unfortunate implications, even if Ninjago still ended up doing that in a different way. Tbh I wish Mammatus and the Keepers got better focus and writing, especially during Seabound, but I can understand why he'd be left out.
Kalmaar is dead, but so were the villains in Day of the Departed. To break off on a side tangent, I'm surprised the writers killed off Kalmaar, despite Crystalized and its villains-returning gimmick being right around the corner. Given Vangelis and Aspheera were merely imprisoned, it'd have been easy to just have him be imprisoned, but I guess they didn't want to bring him back? But yeah, if you can bring back the dead by opening a portal to the Departed Realm with Traveler's Tea, then that opens up for a lot of villains to come back pretty easily.
So with all of these explanations in mind, our list would include;
-Samukai
-Pythor
-Kozu
-Cryptor
-Chen
-The Preeminent
-Nadakhan
-Yang
-Acronix and Krux
-Harumi
-Iron Baron
-Omega
-Aspheera
-Vex
-Unagami
-Vangelis
-Mammatus
-Kalmaar
-The Overlord
Yeah, I left out the Mechanic and Mr. F. Mr. F was kind of a useless addition since he wasn't actually Mr. E, meaning the writers didn't bring back the dropped Echo Zane plotline. And unlike Mr. E, who had an actual presence and menace, I kinda forgot about Mr. F a lot of the time, and Harumi better represents the Sons of Garmadon. I also left out the Mechanic because he isn't really a major arc villain, just a recurring thug. Tbh I'd replace him with Soto, who could represent the first half of S2, and whose pirates are an actual existing faction with continued relevance, and even defeated Nadakhan!
Also, I’d like to think Zane’s Ice Emperor persona makes an actual dramatic return and not just as an ineffectual gag, like maybe he has to use the scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu to combat the Vengestone army, and seeing Vex again could trigger the past. It’s only for like one episode because we need Zane, but it’s a villain cameo for the arc where all the villains return.
But yeah, if we keep out Soto and Machia, that still brings us to 20 villains to juggle. Which is why this never could've happened. But I can dream, right? Writing a version of Crystalized that includes all of these characters and gives them some actual characterization and dynamics would be a Herculean feat.
(Now imagine a story that brings back all of these villains AND the ones from Dragons Rising…!)

Excellent new chapter!!!
Machia makes a big appearence!!
And it seems, that somehow after thousands of years, Hisashi still has a tiny speck of his ancestors' smell on him.
To be honest, I am so eager for the next chapter after this one
I can't wait to see First again!
And the birthday party!!
Best wishes.
Machia hasn’t been around long and yet. He’s already become a favourite character of many 🙌😂 Machia sweep.
And surprisingly he can smell the relation between Hisashi and Izuku. You’re right that after thousands of years (and generations on the human side separating them) realistically Hisashi and Izuku would be so far apart on the family tree that they wouldn’t share any DNA. Still on the same family tree, but like. Very distantly.
But it’s fanfic so we decided Machia can still pick up traces of Hisashi’s heritage and smell the blood relation between him and Izuku 😂 Hisashi got that speck 👏👏
