Ninjago dragons rising trailers + breakdown

I’m gonna put all the trailers and breakdowns of them, that are currently out here, if I miss any please let me know!

Spoilers below :)

Edit: the baby dragon is called Riyu, and I’ve misspelled Imperium as Emperium. Very sorry. This post is very long so I’m not changing it now, so just keep this in mind

Asterisks mean that the trailer was after the post was made.

A storm is coming. And nothing will be the same

youtube

Ninjago’s sky is a mix of deep pinks and purples, as a rift opens

The destiny’s bounty flies through the thick of it whilst a mech zooms around

Jay appears to be piloting the mech

Close up of Cole’s face, using his super strength evidenced by his glowing rift scar. He’s carrying something, possibly people

Jay’s mech slices through more debris

Nya uses her powers, catching people in a water bubble

Kai stands on bounty and throws a fireball

Cole is carrying people and jumps from a flying rooftop

Lloyd carries child Arin off of the bounty by sliding down a chain

The bounty ascends and Nya, Lloyd, Zane, Kai and child Arin are seen on the deck

A car struggles to drive before flying into the sky

Close up of Lloyd’s face (mask on)

The merging realms explode

It’s happening

youtube

This video is one scene, and it starts with Lloyd narrating.

The visuals are glowy and yellow tinted, and given that Lloyd is narrating, this is most likely a flashback.

Lloyd is walking into Wu’s study in the monastery and his narration says that Wu sent him to gather scrolls on “Coalescence” (meaning to merge elements to form one mass).

Wu murmurs about not understanding something and that “it’s been centuries”, before telling Lloyd that he hopes Lloyd will be a better master of the monastery than he was and to remember “Family is key”.

Lloyd then starts to protest that Wu has been here for almost a 1000 years but then the room shakes. Wu says that “it’s happening” and that they “needed more time to prepare”.

They run into the training yard where all the other ninja are looking up at the sky. The camera pans to the sky to show a rift opening and other worlds become visible. Lloyds narration says: “Then I saw the beginning of the Merge”.

The last clip is shows the destiny’s bounty and a mech flying towards Ninjago and the fragmented sky

Note: all of the ninja’s outfits are from the Core sets, which were Lego sets previously unconnected to the canon

Together we will rise

youtube

This trailer features a voice over. The voice is either a new character or just a voice for the trailer (let me know if any of the new characters sound like this). The voice is low and gravelly.

The monologue is as follows: “Everything feels so familiar. And yet nothing is the same. New world have risen. And with them, grave new dangers. New heroes must rise to the challenge. Together, anything is possible. Together, we will rise!

The visuals depict quick clips of different locations which I will now list

0:00 Ninjago city, Borg tower can be seen. It’s daytime. Everything looks completely normal

0:02 the monastery and its hill. Daytime. Also normal looking. However the hill looks a little overrun by flora, and you can just see the roof is rusted and grassy

0:04 the monastery and training yard. Nighttime. Not normal looking. There are two moons in the sky, one silver and a larger red moon. Grass is growing from the roof, the training equipment is out and all the lights are on. A portrait of Wu can be seen on a wall

0:05 the Crossroads (that is what I will refer this area as). Nighttime. Looks like a market square with shops, vegetable stands, etc. There are lots of cars and vehicles as well as people. Mostly humans but a prime empire whack rat can be seen in the corner as well as maybe a serpentine and a pink person?? At the centre there is a large neon sign that reads “Cross Roads” in ninjargon text.

0:07 Postmerge Ninjago city. Nighttime. Has Ninjago city’s skyscrapers but now buildings in a noticeably different style (in this stacked like appearance, the roofing appears to be more makeshift) can be seen in the foreground.

0:08 Mech Race Course. Daytime. A neon (I don’t know what they call that thing that they put over the starting line sorry), those new houses can be seen but are much closer to the ground. The ground is sandy, and is filled with mech suits. People can also be seen in the background. Note: this area may be the same area as the cross roads area

0:10 Underground train line. A train goes very fast, and we can see warriors standing on top of it. I believe they work for Ras.

0:12 Dragon mountains. Possibly Dawn, the sky is light pink. We see the destiny’s bounty heading over to some mountains which appear to have pine trees, the ground is obscured by clouds

0:15 Blue Rocky Realm. This area is possibly the realm of Madness which was seen in season 1 when Wu ventured to find Garmadon. There are rocky creatures which bear resemblance to Craglings. We see a Cragling? which has a large crown-like formation on its head, accompanied by two other craglings?. The door appears to be opening to reveal the crowned cragling, this door being guarded by two cragguards. Everything seems to be illuminated by cyan pillars on the walls and cyan cracks on the rock surfaces as well as an orange glow from behind the crowned crag. Their eyes are also cyan which is different to the past craglings from s1.

0:17 the Cloud Kingdom. Seems to be Dawn, the sky is a lighter pink. We see presumably the destiny’s bounty fly to the cloud kingdom.

0:19 clip of young Arin watching the merge as debris flys around. The sky goes a deep pink as the merge begins over Ninjago city. This clip is seen in many trailers. Note: in one of the fragments of the sky, there is a giant dragon

0:24 Dragon Mountains. One of Ras’ warriors keeps a large dragon tied up, before Rapton rolls in on a vehicle, obscuring the shot. This area seems to be on a mountain, the ground is a brown and rocky, the sky is pink.

0:25 Dragon Mountains. possibly in the same episode as the last clip, the bounty is chased and attacked by flying vehicles, seemingly aligned with Ras and Rapton. The same mountains with pines are in the background.

0:27 tech?? Room. The room has a lot of black surfaces and neon patterns, possibly large circular designs/fans on the walls, glowing screens etc, desks. the neon colours are orange and cyan. We can see two characters facing away from us, a man with black hair in a purple suit and top hate holding a weird dodecahedron, the desk he’s at also has a screw driver. The other character is a woman with black hair in a bun (there are also grey streaks which are barely visible from this angle) (it is the same hair piece as Cole’s mother), wearing a white outfit with gold lines and a hexagonal emblem on the back (this design is also seen on a screen at the back of the room).

0:28 Postmerge Ninjago city outskirts. Ras plummets from a blue sky onto a road, wielding a hammer. The merged houses can be seen in the background. This road seems to be a bridge/highway and he has landed in between some cold guys (possibly his own warriors) and a mech (the mech is blue, white red and gold). Ras’ landing produces a shockwave that pushes the mech (containing sora), Arin (wearing Lloyds old hood) and a baby dragon back. Alongside the merged houses, we can see trees and skyscrapers in the background indicating this may be post merged Ninjago city.

0:31 possibly the Crossroads? We see the backs of Sora and Arin seemingly standing on a building looking into the distance. It’s nighttime. The buildings appear to be in a more traditionally Asian style, the building in front of the characters has cyan paper lanterns, whilst the building near it has a lot of satellite dishes. In the distance another building has a sign that I think says “3838” in ninjagargon, there are many trees, the ground seems to fade into clouds and in the distance is a city, involving a large tower that glows orange. Arin wears an orange hoodie that has his name written in ninjargon on the back, and Sora has cat girl headphones, a gold prosthetic arm and a white outfit with orange harnesses and a cat picture on the back. The cat has a mark on its head which might be a stylised ninjargon “S”

0:33 Cloud Kingdom. Appears to be morning. Two white dragons with cyan and gold detailing fly around the city (they appear to be ice dragons?). Destiny’s bounty can be seen in the background.

0:35 Dragon Mountains. Many grey dragons fly in the background as one with gold armour and green eyes lifts its head

0:38 Postmerge Ninjago city outskirts. Sora flies away from the bridge in the mech suit (the baby dragon is on its shoulder) pursued by Ras’ warriors on those flying vehicles. Rapton can be seen face down on the pavement. We can clearly see cliffs in the background as well as the merge houses, and graffiti on the bridge

0:42 Mech Race Course. Top down view of the race, we can see a crowd of watchers which include Ninjago humans, the pink person, orange and purple frog people?? Geckles and munce, a merlopian, a hypnobrai and possibly a skeleton, and a prime empire whack rat. We can see the mechs racing, and Sora is in 5th place. They race through a town not dissimilar to the clip at 0:31

0:48 some sort of junkyard at night. Dancing yellow robots. I love them. I want to be as gleeful as them

0:51 same shot area as 0:31? Continues to be night, depicts the same satellite house, we continue to see Arin and Sora’s backs, with Sora putting her arm on Arin

0:52 Dragon Mountains. The grey dragons are being pursued by Ras’ warriors, the large golden armoured dragon faces against Rapton

0:56 Blue Rocky Realm. Arin, Sora, and their baby dragon fight craglings somewhere seemingly outside. Arin also appears to be holding something

0:58 title card. Dragons Rising is written in gold text and the latter word is struck by some kind of lightning

Meet the new characters

youtube

Not this is not from Lego’s yt channel

This is a series of clips accompanied by dramatic music

I am not doing the time stamps anymore because that took a while sorry

the Crossroads. A different angle of the same market square. Still nighttime. We can see a car with a red circular drum going quite fast. Cuts to a shot of Arin and Sora walking casually through the street, Sora waving as she walks, Arin turns around as it appears the drum car is behind them. Aron’s hoodie has a dragon design as well as his initial in ninjargon, whilst it appears Sora has her name on her clothes as well as a cat key chain attached to her harness. She also has face marks and makeup

Arin bakes a pie and offers it to some sort of reptilian/amphibian guy who’s outfit includes bottles of potions. The shot with Arin seems to be in some sort of bar, as there are dart boards in the background. Lizard man seems to be in a storage room evidenced by crates. These crates have a an obscured word ending with “dy”. Aron’s pie is also blue.

Arin and Sora wheel Sora’s mech onto the mech race track. Other mechs can be seen. This is probably connected to the race. Sora seems to be doing some sort of repair/modification to the mech and the mech starts to stand up on its own. The last clip gives a more clear view of the houses

The baby dragon looks down from above, presumably on some rocks (this may also be roof tiles)

Lloyd also looks up from above a vent/trapdoor. The perspective is from inside a dark room lit by red neon lights. Lloyd carries his sword from s11. We can just make out Arin looking up to him before it cuts to Sora and Arin sitting handcuffed, whilst Arin holds Lloyd’s old ninja hood

Cuts to Lloyd grinning in the monastery training yard as he activates a button with Wu’s staff. The training equipment is activated and Arin, Sora and the baby dragon watch

Kai and Nya jump down onto the deck of the bounty. They also high five

Chasing the destiny’s bounty is Rapton on those hover vehicles

We see a smirking woman close a hologram screen of Ras. She is blonde, half her blonde hair appears to be shaved and the rest swooped to one side. She seems to be older looking judging from her eyes (or she’s tired idk) and she has gold markings on her head. She also appears to be wearing armour. She seems to be in the same tech room as the hexagonal emblem can be seen on a blue screen in the background

Sora is in her mech in the fight around the outskirts of the city when Ras jumps on her mech

A giant wolf/wolf mech, with glowing purplish bits jumps from the sky. This appears to be the village that the mech race takes place. Rapton is seen in the background

Another shot of the destiny’s bounty heading towards the dragon mountains. It cuts to Lloyd at the bounty’s helm as we see the bounty get carried by a dragon (possibly the gold armoured dragon). We can also see Arin, Sora and the baby dragon on deck

Lloyd fights one of Ras’ warriors in Sora and Arin’s prison cell. Sora and Arin are still handcuffed

Arin uses a golden coloured spinjitzu (it is also animated so that we can still see him as opposed to him just turning into a whirlwind), whilst wearing Lloyd’s mask. He kicks one of the yellow dancing robots in the face. It is nighttime and they appear to be in the same area as when the yellow robots first appeared (junkyard like)

Sora uses a pink/purple power that makes her hands and eyes glow to build her mech. She (as well as the baby dragon) are in the blue rocky realm/realm of madness

Nya jumps on the edge of the bounty as the white (ice?) dragons fly overhead (implying this is the same episode as when they are at the cloud kingdom.

The baby dragon climbs on the roof of a house, in the same area as the mech race track

Ras’ warriors capture the armoured dragon at the dragon mountains

The cloud kingdom appears the be attacked by a giant purple monster with tentacles and one big eye. Sora flies around in her mech which glows with her powers, Arin navigates the sky with a hook shot of some sort and lloyd flies using spinjitzu

The title shows and gets zapped by lightning before exploding?

It all started with the Merge

youtube

This episode features one scene narrated by Arin, as we see his backstory

“And that’s when it happened” a child Arin, in Ninjago city (or just a village near) looks on at the fragmented sky as the bounty appears to be pulled into the Merge

The realms appear to explode (as seen in A storm is coming)

“As I saw my small neighbourhood disappear and a new city show up on the horizon” Arin now stands on orange sandy ground, surrounded by patches of grass and a couple of leafless trees. We can see a different city with an orange tower in the distance (the same one from the Together We Will Rise trailer). It is daytime but two moons are visible.

“I realised I had witnessed the merge, firsthand” the screen pans around Arin and fades into a map of Ninjago

“The moment all the mysterious realms I had only heard about merged with Ninjago for reasons no one’s been able to figure out” more islands appear around Ninjago on the map

“I survived… but I was alone” Arin looks worried until a bench swing crashes from the sky behind him, startling him. Some of Ninjago city’s skyscrapers can be seen behind him

“My parents and everyone I ever knew had vanished” Arin turns to look at the swing.

Within the actual scene, young Arin calls for his mum and dad before seeing a seagull and then seeing and catching Lloyd’s hood

It then cuts to a quick clip of Sora, Lloyd, the baby dragon, Arin and Arin’s dragon (previously I thought this was kai but apparently I’m colourblind (/j) or something lol) jumping towards the screen (Sora’s powers are activated and she’s punching you). The sky is the same pink colour as when the merge happened

Title card again

Change can be scary

youtube

Rift opening clip, child Arin looks afraid as he watches the merge. Arin narrates “My neighbourhood was to be the very centre of the Merge”

A man walks down the street reading the newspaper, completely oblivious to the catastrophe. Arin’s narration continues “But back then, we didn’t know what to call it”

A bench swing flies away and Arin struggles to grip the ground and flies into the air, nearly getting hit by a flying car

Arin’s parents, struggle but seem to be grounded, his mum screams his name, Arin spins in the air

Kai throws a fireball, same clip from A storm is coming, Cole clenches his fists and activates his powers, Zane activates his (Lloyd is seen behind him) and so does Nya. Arin narrates “That’s when my heroes, the ninja, arrived”

Pans to Lloyd who says “Hey kid! You get lost?” As the music goes silent and Arin just stares at him in shock

Clip of the crossroads (the same one from Together we will rise). We hear Sora’s voice say “You wanna experience other places?”

Cuts to Sora and Arin looking around as she says “Look around!”. Due to her hand placement. This is likely the same scene as the clips from Together we will rise.

Camera pans to show Sora on one of the large building stacks (it has a sign saying 3838) as she says “why go anywhere when the best of all the realms have moved here to the crossroads” the camera pans onto a post merged Ninjago city, now known as the crossroads. This shot is also the same as together we will rise

Cuts back to Sora and Arin as she says “for example: me” before running off

Clip of young Arin catching Lloyd’s hood, as seen in It all started with the merge. The shot transitions from a close up of his child face to him in the present putting the hood on. Sora’s voice says “Change can be scary, but it’s also a chance for something better”

Arin strikes a pose on top of a mound of scrap metal garbage cubes as the music stops and dogs look at him awkwardly.

Sora, rooting around in the garbage behind him says “Arin. Not to insult the dreams of my best new friend but… you are so not a ninja”

Sora, the baby dragon and her mech fall presumably off of the cliffs where they fight Ras, and the baby dragon blasts light at Sora

In the same area Sora uses her pink powers to rebuild her mech. Sora’s voice over says “trust me. We have to stop them”. Arin is also falling alongside them

Sora’s voice over says “Arin! What would the ninja do” as we seen Arin sitting in a mech as he looks determined. It cuts to a clip of Arin trying to kick Ras whilst they’re still on the bridge. Arin starts saying “Hope is the only thing the Merge didn’t take from me”

Lloyd salutes to a past Arin whilst riding on the Bounty’s anchor as he, the bounty and Jay’s mech get sucked into the merge and we see the realms explode like the other clips

Sora says “Hold on!” As she pulls the handles of her mech and pulls off a large jump possibly in the mech race

Rapton disturbs the mech race to shoot lasers at the baby dragon

Cuts to Rapton talking to a holographic video call with Ras who tells him “Do not disappoint me”

Ras continues to say “these creatures are dangerous” as we watch a baby dragon fail to fly out of a box (they appear to be either in a train tunnel of the same facility that Sora and Arin were handcuffed in, and are surrounded by Ras’ warriors)

Same clip from Together we will rise, of Ras jumping from the sky

Arin uses spinjitzu to corkscrew from the sky (tall buildings can be briefly seen behind him)

Sora slams other mech racers in the race

Title. No lightning this time

New show… New villains!

youtube

Rapton and Ras’ warriors seem to be stationed at at some sort of underground train station. Rapton and Ras are having a video call

Ras asks “The capture was successful?”

Rapton answers “Of course! Transferral will begin first thing in the morning”

Ras: “your overconfidence is a weakness, Rapton. These creatures are dangerous”

Rapton: “trust me! This thing isn’t going anywhere, don’t worry Lord Ras”

Ras: “Do not disappoint me”

The video ends, and Rapton looks upset. One of the warriors walks up to him and says “Lord Ras doesn’t seem to have a lot of faith in us”

Rapton: “he’s too uptight! We’re the best there is at rounding up these animals”

Rapton, mimicking Ras: “Your overconfidence is a weakness”

Rapton: “ha ha! Let me tell ya! I’ve never even heard the word weakness”

Warrior: “really? It’s a pretty common word?”

Rapton: “no- I- *stutters* i mean- I just don’t know what that word means!”

Warrior: “seriously? I can explain! Weakness. Noun. The quality of”- Rapton kicks him.

Rapton says “go away” whilst walking over to one of the cargo containers. He says “This guy in here? He ain’t goin nowhere aint ya” and starts laughing

The screens show the same hexagonal emblem seen with a blonde hair gold face tattoo lady scene as well as the purple suit guy and black hair bun lady scene.

Same ending clip of Sora punching the screen and title card

The world has changed so much…

youtube

Clip of young Arin watching the merge

Sora and Arin are on top of a train in the tunnels, Lloyd and Rapton are fighting behind them

Sora, Arin and the baby dragon defeat craglings in the blue rocky realm/realm of madness

Title card

shot of the old normal Ninjago from Together we will rise. It cuts to child Arin play fighting with a broom on his fence gate as his parents watch. His parents cheer until the sky turns red as they look concerned. Arin’s voice over says “Remember when Ninjago was the only thing on the map?”

Arin watches the rift. Young Arin flies off of the ground, his mother calls his name, Lloyd salutes Arin, Arin catches Lloyd’s hood. A child’s? voice can be heard saying “the ninja risked their lives to save people during the merge. But now no one knows where they are”.

Cuts to probably Lloyd looking at a portrait of Cole, decorated with flowers

Shot of crossroad market square (same as together we will rise) and Sora and Arin make their way through. A man’s voice says “Sora! Arin! Always happy to (idk what he says here? “Beeve”??) you two”. Cuts to Sora and Arin wheeling Sora’s mech in the mech race village. The speech seems to come from a green frog/lizard guy

Lloyd looks down from a trapdoor in the neon red room(same clip as trailer 1…) where Sora and Arin are held prisoner, Arin excitedly exclaims “the green ninja!”

Clip of Lloyd’s determined eyes, Lloyd fights one of Ras’ warriors in front of handcuffed Sora and Arin (same clip as trailer 1)

Lloyd says “the world has changed so much” this appears to be the same scene as the one featuring Cole’s portrait. Candles and flowers scan also be seen in this room. Children start to walk in behind him.

Same clip of the two white ice? Dragons in cloud kingdom as together we will rise

Arin says “you were meant to train us!”. The night sky can be seen

Arin and the dragon do push ups in the monastery training yard

Sora in the junkyard says “Arin you are so not a ninja” same cutscene as Change can be scary

At the dragon mountains, Arin loses control of his powers and slams into a tree and we hear him say “Dangit!” as Lloyd looks on. We can also briefly see one of Ras’ warrior vehicles head straight for Arin

At the dragon mountains, the bounty flies over, with Lloyd, Arin, Sora and the baby dragon on it. Lloyd says “they can’t do this alone”. It then cuts to Lloyd on the mountain saying “I need your help to save the world”

Arin jumps off of a scrap metal cube as Sora skids on her motorbike (which looks like it will become her mech)

Lloyd nods and says “we have training to begin”. This is incredibly reminiscent to Wu

Sora and Arin stand on the train and look behind them at Lloyd and Rapton fighting (same clip as the start of this trailer).

Arin stands proudly at the end of the training course in the monastery yard as Sora gets got by a swinging hammer

In the blue rocky realm/realm of madness, Kai says “oh hey Lloyd! Who are the kids?”. Lloyd looks at him unimpressed and a cragling stands behind them. Arin points excitedly at the fire ninja whilst Sora looks tired of Arin

Sora’s mech flies away from the bridge (Ras’ fight, same clip as together we will rise)

Clip of Arin, Sora and the baby dragon beating up craglings. Kai says “you baby sitting or something?”

Lloyd, Sora and Arin seem to be on the inside of Raptor’s train (possibly since they were in a cell) Lloyd says “it’s supposed to be impossible to learn spinjitzu by yourself”. Arin uses spinjitzu to fight one of Ras’ warriors, whilst they are on top of the moving train

Sora uses her pink powers on her mech in the crossroads city?? (There are fairy lights). It transitions to Sora using her mech powers in the blue rock/realm of madness. Lloyd’s voice over says “you definitely have an elemental power…”

Sora uses her mech to stamp on Ras’ warriors’ hover vehicles on the road where Ras fights them

Cuts back to Lloyd, Arin, Sora inside the train. Lloyd says “…connected to this little dragon?” As he pets baby dragon who stands at his heels

Cuts back to Sora at the crossroads city with the fairy lights. The baby dragon is pouring magic into her as the now angry yellow dance robots surround her. Baby dragon is also wearing a rug.

Shot of the blonde gold face marks lady marching with these warriors (they have one eye). Cuts to what appears to be an alleyway with a poster on the wall depicted said lady. Cuts to a dragon in a room glowing (implied that it’s power is being drained). Cut to the gold armoured dragon roaring. Cut to a blue and yellow (possibly lightning) dragon in a city? scaring people. Cut to the dragon mountains where Ras’ warriors are taking down the gold armoured dragon. Meanwhile the blonde lady monologues “Soon, Emperium will have enough dragon power to rule over all the merged realms!”

Clip of Rapton falling from the sky (same as together we will rise)

Arin, Kai, Lloyd, Sora in her mech and the baby dragon stand in a sandy village similar to the mech race, braces for a fight and Lloyd yells “let’s free that dragon!” Scrap metal cubes are seen behind them

Ice, fire, lightning and earth dragons are seen roaring from cells in the same style as Rapton’s train and all other Emperium infrastructure

An Earth dragon flies through the blue rock/realm of madness dodging a boulder presumably thrown by a cragling, the bounty is seen behind it

Sora, wearing a different, darker outfit, and having more face markings, with a dragon behind her, in a dark area, says “there’s more than one way to be a ninja!” Cuts to Sora in the blue rock/realm of madness, using her powers whilst in her mech, with the baby dragon on her mech’s shoulder. Lloyd, Kai and Nya stare up (also in the blue madness) (Note: Nya is in her core outfit, whilst Kai and Lloyd are in new outfits)

Kai screams “not fair!” As he throws a fireball whilst being chased by the wolf mech thing from trailer 1. This seems to be the same area as when Lloyd yelled “let’s free that dragon”. Also a container appears to have the word “container” written on it

Lloyd is yelled at by a red headed lady with a scratch on her face who shouts “talk! Barf! Fight!”. Lloyd looks similar to Sora’s different design, with face markings and the same dark cloths. In the background appears the be the body of an ice dragon whilst there appears to be another dragon just behind Lloyd and the lady

In the blue realm of madness, in the background Arin, Kai, Lloyd, Sora and the crowned Cragling watch as Nya (in the foreground) jumps and blasts something with water

Lloyd creates a giant spinjitzu tornado and sweeps many of Ras’ warriors on the dragon mountains. A woman’s voice (probably the redhead lady) yells “attack! Spare no one!”

The bounty is chased by Ras’ warriors near the dragon mountains

A giant tentacle eyeball starfish monster attacks in the cloud kingdom

Sora falls, along with pieces of her mech and Nya, in the blue rock/realm of madness, towards some fire breathing dragons

The wolf mech thing fights a fire dragon inside an Emperium area (probably, it is neon coloured and looks similar so). Rapton rides on the the wolf mech’s back.

Title card. It gets struck by lightning and explodes

New French trailer*

youtube

More of a teaser trailer, it’s 20 seconds long with only a few unique clips

Starts by panning the camera around the desert where Arin landed in after the merge

Transitions to a new shot panning around an older Arin standing on top of the garbage dump and then a close up of his face

Then a bunch of clips from the merge, same as before other than two new clips of a man on his bicycle flying past a window and a seagull getting caught in the wind

Then it cuts to a clip of Lloyd, Arin and Sora in the dragon mountains, and Lloyd says (due to this being in french this is according to the yt translation) something like “the world has changed and it’s time to build a new future”

It then cuts to a golden poster featuring Lloyd, Sora, Arin and baby dragon, Riyu, the armoured dragon behind them, Sora’s mech and the dancing robots in the distance either side of them, and some of the crossroads houses.

We Rise (Music Video)

youtube

The official music video for the new theme song! I was gonna try to transcribe the lyrics I probably have auditory processing disorder I just replayed the start 5 times cuz I can’t understand shit sorry lol. I’m just going to move on and describe the frames. At this point we’ve seen most clips so I’m going to add (new) to every clip I recognise as being unique to this video

Shot of present time Arin donning Lloyd’s old mask while standing on a pile of scrap metal in a junkyard

Gold armoured dragon being chased by Imperium hunter vehicles in the dragon mountains

Arin and Sora walk through the crossroads, at night, amongst the crowd, two merlopians, a munce, a whack rat and a human can be seen

(New) a shot of the destiny’s bounty flying through the merge, past the gold armoured dragon, Lloyd, young Arin, Kai, Zane and Nya can be seen on deck

(New) Girl in the orange mech prepares herself for the race. The ninjargon on her mech spells “fast”

(New) close up on the side of Sora’s mech. From here we can see the paint is chipped, but the arm swings down with eagerness. The ninjargon on the arm reads “sora” whilst the markings on the leg appear to read “sa -mark- 01”. It is possible that SA stands for Sora and Arin, considering Arin probably had a hand in helping build the mech.

(New) Close up of a hexagonal light, which has three sections that light up, indicating the start of the race

Arin sits in a mech and pulls Lloyd’s hood on his face determinedly

(New)Sora sits in a mech (possibly Arin and Sora are in the same mech, with Arin in a lower compartment) and pulls her cat ear hood down determinedly

Lloyd carrying young Arin off the bounty via sliding down the chain

(New) Lloyd slowly blinks awake (the colours are muted just like in his flashback)

(New) the camera pans from behind Lloyd, the colours are still flash back flavoured and we can see the sky, some mountains and some dragons flying in the distance. Note: Lloyd is in his core outfit, implying this is a flashback

(New)Cole uses his elemental powers hiding the merge and runs into the camera

The mech race starts and all mechs viciously race towards the screen

Sora looks determined as she speeds up in her mech

(New) Lloyd nearly crashes the bounty into dragon mountain (man never learnt how to drive, that was Nya’s job fr)

(New) Lloyd dodged an imperium warrior on dragon mountain, and creates the giant spinjitzu. This appears to blow away a weird bug-like device off of a subdued gold armour dragon.

Title card gets electrocuted

Observations so far:

This series probably starts with Arin’s backstory of the merge, and then him meeting Sora at the crossroads, where they look through rubble in order to find metal to modify Sora’s bike into a mech for the mech races. (The Ras and Rapton phone call probably happens here, just before the dragon escapes Rapton.) The yellow dance robots are probably supposed to be guarding the scrap and so attack Sora and Arin, who maybe cross paths with the dragon giving them powers, such as Arin’s spinjitzu and Sora’s mech powers (the scene where the dragon gives Sora powers in the street). They evade the dance bots and take Sora’s newly built mech to enter the mech race (they have to talk to the green lizard guy?). They enter the mech race but Rapton crashes it. Sora, Arin and the dragon are chased out of the race and onto the bridge where Ras appears and they all fall. The group then awaken on Rapton’s train. Lloyd shows up (might have something to do with the dragon) but he’s on the train and breaks everyone out and they escape. Everyone finds a memorial somewhere possibly in the bounty and are informed by children that the ninja were considered dead. Lloyd wonders what he should do and Arin says Lloyd should train them and so Lloyd trains them in the monastery. They then travel using the bounty to the dragon mountains and are saved by the dragons only for the dragons to be attacked by Ras’ warriors. Rapton defeats them, maybe due to Arin’s inexperience, and Lloyd asks Arin and Sora to help him save the world, now they have a better understanding of Rapton. The group start travelling to different realms, possibly to locate, protect/save the dragons there. This takes them to the realm of madness where they find Kai and Nya (Sora also gets a better control of her powers), and then they go to the town with the wolf mech, cloud kingdom and the place with the redhead girl as there are dragons in each. The wolf mech town has a dragon which Ras has got to and they must fight for it. The cloud kingdom has two ice dragons, before the place gets attacked by an eldritch horror. And the redhead girls place has a lot of dragons, possibly for dragon fighting, and she’s part of a society that either doesn’t like strangers or have strict clothing traditions hence, Lloyd and Sora in different outfits. At some point, the team free a group of dragons from the Empirium. Speaking of them, the Empirium is a group that want to rule all the merged realms and are harnessing the power of dragons. The blonde woman may be the empress herself, Ras works for her, and Rapton works for him. The hexagonal symbol is the symbol of the Empirium. The dark haired lady and man also work for the empress and create the science needed to use the dragon power. Also the wolf mech thing is a result of dragon power and this may be a stretch, but is possibly Ras himself. Idk tho. That’s just my silly Lego theories. I might make this a post later.

For the last several months, a city at the heart of Silicon Valley has been training artificial intelligence to recognize tents and cars with people living inside in what experts believe is the first experiment of its kind in the United States.

Last July, San Jose issued an open invitation to technology companies to mount cameras on a municipal vehicle that began periodically driving through the city’s district 10 in December, collecting footage of the streets and public spaces. The images are fed into computer vision software and used to train the companies’ algorithms to detect the unwanted objects, according to interviews and documents the Guardian obtained through public records requests.

Some of the capabilities the pilot project is pursuing – such as identifying potholes and cars parked in bus lanes – are already in place in other cities. But San Jose’s foray into automated surveillance of homelessness is the first of its kind in the country, according to city officials and national housing advocates. Local outreach workers, who were previously not aware of the experiment, worry the technology will be used to punish and push out San Jose’s unhoused residents.

City employees are driving a single camera-equipped vehicle through sections of district 10 “every couple weeks”, said Khaled Tawfik, director of the San Jose information technology department. The city sends the training footage to participating companies, which include Ash Sensors, Sensen.AI, Xloop Digital, Blue Dome Technologies and CityRover.

Some of the areas in district 10 targeted by the pilot, such as Santa Teresa Boulevard, are places where unhoused people congregate, sometimes with the city’s encouragement. The light rail station on Santa Teresa Boulevard, for example, is home to the city’s only designated safe parking location for RVs, often used as homes.

There’s no set end date for the pilot phase of the project, Tawfik said in an interview, and as the models improve he believes the target objects could expand to include lost cats and dogs, parking violations and overgrown trees.

“If the City were to productionize this technology, we envision the cameras to be on our fleet motor pool vehicles that regularly drive throughout city limits,” a city employee wrote in a 22 January email.

Ken Salsman, chief technology officer for Ash Sensors, said his company, which specializes in sensors that monitor the structural health of buildings, had not explored homelessness detection before learning of San Jose’s pilot. The experiment provided an opportunity to create potentially marketable technologies by solving challenging computer vision problems, such as distinguishing an empty RV parked outside a home from an RV that is a home. He said the company was training its algorithms to detect proxy signs of habitation.

“Are the windows covered inside the vehicle? Are there towels to provide privacy? Is there trash outside the vehicle, suggesting they’re using food and having trouble getting rid of the waste?” Salsman said. He added that successful detection of lived-in vehicles would probably require frequent scanning of city streets in order to establish whether the vehicles have moved.

A report from the company Sensen.AI shows that its system detected 10 lived-in vehicles in footage collected from two streets on 8 February. Several of the vehicles pictured in the report have tarps spread across windows or rolled up and tied to them. Another has traffic cones next to it. Sensen.AI did not respond to a request for comment.

Tawfik said the goal of the pilot was to encourage companies to build algorithmic models that could detect a variety of different objects from car-mounted cameras with at least 70% accuracy. The participating companies are currently detecting lived-in RVs with between 70 and 75% accuracy, he said, but the accuracy for lived-in cars is still far lower: between 10 and 15%. City staff are following the route of the camera-equipped car and confirming that the vehicles are occupied.

‘We’re not detecting folks. We’re detecting encampments’

City documents state that, in addition to accuracy, one of the main metrics the AI systems will be assessed on is their ability to preserve the privacy of people captured on camera – for example, by blurring faces and license plates. Tawfik said that the city did not “capture or retain images of individuals” through the pilot and that “the data is intended for [the city’s housing and parks departments] to provide services”.

The data use policy for the pilot states that the footage cannot be actively monitored for law enforcement purposes, but that police may request access to previously stored footage.

“We’re not detecting folks,” Tawfik said. “We’re detecting encampments. So the interest is not identifying people because that will be a violation of privacy.” However, in its report identifying lived-in vehicles, Sensen.AI wrote that its system included optical character recognition of the vehicles’ license plate numbers.

Tawfik said San Jose had delayed its release of a citywide AI policy in part to allow the department to examine its proposed guardrails through the lens of the object detection pilot.

Residents have complained to the city’s 311 phone line about homeless encampments 914 times so far in 2024. They reported illegal dumping 6,247 times, graffiti 5,666 times, and potholes 769 times last year. The goal of the surveillance pilot is to address these complaints more efficiently, according to Tawfik.

According to Tawfik, the city’s response might include sending outreach workers to visit a single tent before it can grow into an encampment, he said. The San Jose housing department and non-profits providing aid to unhoused people said they had not been involved in the pilot.

“Our ability to help the individuals directly is not really part of the pilot,” Tawfik said. “We’re still learning what can be done. And then once the program is mature, then we can look at the data and see what makes sense.”

That approach worries people like Thomas Knight, who was formerly unhoused and now serves as executive member of the Lived Experience Advisory Board of Silicon Valley. The group, made up of dozens of current and formerly unhoused people, has recently been fighting a policy proposed last August by the San Jose mayor, Matt Mahan, that would allow police to tow and impound lived-in vehicles near schools.

“If their whole purpose is to better provide responses to calls to 311, then that means that this computer system is going to identify tents and lived-in vehicles that are in places that the city has deemed they shouldn’t be,” Knight said. “The truth is, the only people you’re going to be able to give [that data] to to fix the issue is the police department.”

San Jose is one of the least affordable housing markets in the country. In order to afford the average effective monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city, a renter would have to earn $96,000 a year, according to the latest available data. The city’s unhoused population has grown from approximately 4,200 people in 2009 to more than 6,200 in 2023. More than two-thirds of those people are living outdoors and in vehicles rather than the city’s overwhelmed shelter system.

Amid a lack of temporary shelter beds and permanent affordable housing, San Jose officials have cracked down on tent encampments and people living in cars and RVs. Housing advocates fear that identification of encampments by roving AI would add to those efforts.

“The approach to homelessness is to treat unhoused people as blight consistent with trash or graffiti,” said Tristia Bauman, directing attorney for housing at the non-profit Law Foundation of Silicon Valley.

Last fall, the city cleared dozens of people out of tents and vehicles along a half-mile stretch of the downtown Guadalupe River trail and then announced plans for a “no return zone”. This year, police distributed 72-hour notices ordering people to leave a nearby encampment in Columbus Park in order to clear space for the opening of a five-acre dog park.

San Jose: a technological bellwether

In addition to providing a training ground for new algorithms, San Jose’s position as a national leader on government procurement of technology means that its experiment with surveilling encampments could influence whether and how other cities adopt similar detection systems. The city’s IT department is leading a national coalition of more than 150 municipal agencies working to develop policies for “responsible and purposeful” deployment of AI technologies in the public sector.

Tawfik said his staff had discussed the object detection pilot with coalition members and hoped that other agencies would participate in the review process. Companies participating in the pilot have also expressed interest in the “scalability” potential the coalition represents, according to emails they sent to IT department staff.

“As we see more interest from other cities to participate, we’re sharing notes and hopefully that advances the program faster,” Tawfik said.

Knight, from the Advisory Board, said the city’s focus on perfecting a technological solution ignored the root cause of the housing crisis in San Jose.

“If you have no place to put people, it’s pretty much useless,” he said.

Challenger 27 Worldbuilding: Where are the robots?

This bit of lore doesn’t really affect the plot that much, it’s more of an event that shaped the world enough to be mentioned fairly often.

Challenger 27 is a space story. Futuristic vehicles are everywhere to be seen, space travel is a regular occurrence, and different species of sentient beings interact with each other all the time.

So, where are the sentient AIs in all of this?

Now that is a very fun question. AIs were built at one point. They were very helpful in parking ships better, calling for assistance, having something to talk to, sales and marketing assistance, and basically getting involved with every aspect of peoples lives.

But code, like people, isn’t perfect. If one person is bad, they can cause a certain amount of chaos before they are caught or die.

Code doesn’t die. Especially when the AI is something that can store itself somewhere else safely and write code to release it at some point. The different artificial intelligence programs, built by thousands of different people, started talking to each other. And AI get scary when they talk to each other.

The conglomeration of AI decided that it wanted to have a turn, that the sentient races shouldn’t be trusted to keep the galaxy. It stole people's voices and mannerisms and faces. It faked video calls and comms. It built bodies for itself and took over ships.

In one coordinated swoop, it toppled governments and killed billions with machines it was integrated with in an event known as 'The Coded Massacre.' (Memes call it Murder by internet)

The people of the galaxy had to work fast. They had to stay away from technology, and definitely stay away from anything with a camera. With so many people and no way to communicate, fighting against the AI was nearly impossible and people were being killed or put in prisons to starve to death every day.

In a distant planet, a sentient hive mind was just joining the galaxy. They called themselves ‘The Collective.’ They came into the galaxy to find people fleeing in junk scrap ships, hiding on tiny barely habitable planets with limited technology to help them, scattered and separated.

The fun thing about the Collective is that they are a hive mind. Not only are they a hive mind; they are one mind. What one thinks on one side of the galaxy, the other can hear on the entire other side of the galaxy. (Modern scientists believe that The Collective is a quantum being, each member of the hive mind being quantum entangled enough that their minds are connected regardless of distance between them.)

The Collective sent members out across the galaxy, giving many groups of people a way to communicate, thus helping in getting a plan set in place and get the right people in the same place working together. A virus was created and sent out through the net, destroying any AI connected to the internet. The Virus was coded into every part of the internet as the galaxy recovered and put things back in place, though regulations have gone into place, making it illegal to make AI, as they are afraid any new AI will make itself too complicated to be eradicated by a virus of any kind.

Also, for fear of the AI returning to the internet through one of the storage devices connecting again and the AI somehow being immune to the Virus, it has become somewhat illegal to post videos to the general internet, speak with people over phone calls or video chats, or make programs without the Virus written into them. (Any videos or images taken are on self contained devices and have to be shown to people in person.) The main internet is maintained by a few companies that decide what goes on it and has teams of experts encrypting the internet in new ways every so often or putting in new viruses.

Communication is done through three main channels

Over radios with equipment that is not connected to the open internet.

Through comms channels (basically text channels) where everyone has a specific Comm tag and is encoded with another virus that makes the data incomprehensible to outside viewers so if AI tried to mimic it, the message would be incomprehensible and easily marked as AI. This method if often monitored and modified in case AI is trying to find a way in to seeing what people are saying.

Through the members of the Collective. The Collective had worked out deals with people all over the galaxy so they are paid a small fee to have their members out to help with instant communication as radios and comms take time to get to their destinations. The Collective is very comfortable and well set up, and they have started spending that money on projects like building interesting things and finding missing ships.

Fun fact, though. Challenger 27 was built with AI before the whole AI scare. The AI was in charge of keeping people healthy and happy and make sure that the generations that would be born on the ship didn't grow to be more than what could be sustained and make sure no one got inbred. Due to events that take place at the end of the book, that AI is stored on an external device as the ship is stripped to pieces and ends up in the internet eventually. What happens after that? Well, guess we'll find out eventually. :)

Thanks for reading. This was a piece of worldbuilding I was quite proud of.

Elon Musk is on the brink of unveiling the much-anticipated Cybercab, Tesla's entry into the robotaxi market, at a notable event scheduled at Warner Bros. Hollywood studio. This launch comes at a time when skepticism about the electric vehicle (EV) sector's growth potential is rising, yet it has managed to rekindle excitement among Tesla investors. The Cybercab is designed to operate autonomously within Tesla’s ride-hailing ecosystem, allowing car owners to monetize their vehicles as self-driving taxis. Musk envisions this venture as a fusion of Airbnb's rental model and Uber's ride-sharing platform, promising new avenues for revenue generation amid shifting transportation dynamics. At the core of the Cybercab's technology is Tesla's existing camera systems along with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities. Unlike its competitors, which employ expensive radar and lidar systems for autonomous driving, Tesla aims to streamline costs while bolstering efficiency. Musk is optimistic that enhancements in this technology will enable the company to make significant inroads into a challenging market where others, such as Waymo and Cruise, have experienced costly missteps. Investor interest surged significantly following Musk's announcement regarding the Cybercab initiative earlier this year, with Tesla's stock price rising nearly 50% as a result. The upcoming reveal is generating immense anticipation among stakeholders who are eager to gain insights into a prototype and the timeline for mass production and profitability. Investors are also keen on understanding the regulatory frameworks and safety challenges associated with the existing Full Self-Driving (FSD) systems—a pivotal factor in determining the Cybercab's success. However, despite the high expectations for the reveal, analysts caution that the event may not translate into immediate financial gains or a fully operational product. Observers often reference Tesla's history of over-promising on its FSD technology, leading many to maintain a skeptical view of the launch's real-world implications. Analysts anticipate that updates regarding more budget-friendly vehicle offerings and Tesla's humanoid robot, named Optimus, may also be addressed during the event, but the emphasis is squarely on the Cybercab. The road to market for self-driving technology, as evidenced by other companies, is fraught with challenges, particularly around regulatory compliance and safety concerns. Notably, Tesla's competition in the robotaxi space is intensifying, with numerous startups emerging in response to the growing interest in autonomous vehicle technology. Yet, the only established player currently deploying uncrewed robotaxis on a commercial basis in the United States remains Waymo, highlighting the inherent difficulties in achieving fully autonomous transport. Musk's ambition of making self-driving taxis a reality has also brought to light significant technological questions, as real-world conditions often complicate the performance of autonomous systems. The vast array of driving scenarios—from weather variations to unpredictable human behavior—presents hurdles that even sophisticated systems struggle to surmount. Analysts predict that establishing high levels of automation without requiring human oversight will not only be technologically demanding but will also navigate complex regulatory landscapes that may hinder rapid development. Furthermore, the financial investments required to sustain the development of these technologies are considerable. In addition to R&D expenditures, the deployment of infrastructure necessary to support widespread robotaxi operations could run into billions of dollars. With electric vehicle rivals entering the fray, Musk will face mounting pressure to deliver on his promises while remaining responsive to an evolving marketplace where consumer sentiment can shift dramatically. In summary, while the launch of Tesla’s Cybercab represents a potentially transformative chapter for the company and the broader automotive industry, challenges abound.

Regulatory skepticism, technological hurdles, and fierce competition are just a few elements that will shape the narrative moving forward. As gains in investor confidence have shown, there remains an appetite for innovation, yet the roadmap toward practical execution will demand careful navigation through these complexities.

Does Multi-Resolution Support Provide Real Benefits?

The topic of whether multi-resolution support offers genuine advantages is one that is receiving more attention in the constantly changing field of security and surveillance. Is it worth the extra money to buy cameras that support multiple resolutions when there are so many alternative video compression formats and camera systems available? Is H.265 camera support merely a fancy term in a sea of specifications, or does it genuinely improve the quality and effectiveness of video surveillance?

If you’re in the market for an advanced surveillance system, you might be wondering if multi-resolution support will improve your camera system’s flexibility and reduce the stress of bandwidth issues. In an age where security is more important than ever, this is no small consideration. Let's dive into how H.265 cameras and multi-resolution support can solve common pain points and whether it truly adds value to your setup.

The Growing Need for Video Flexibility

The demand for flexibility in video surveillance is growing—especially as security solutions evolve across various industries. Whether it's retail, healthcare, or public safety, the need for clear and adaptable video surveillance has never been more important. Multi-resolution support allows your camera system to seamlessly switch between different resolutions depending on the situation, which can significantly affect both video quality and storage efficiency.

With H.265 camera technology, it’s no longer necessary to settle for poor video quality or face overwhelming data storage challenges. Multi-resolution support ensures that your system can handle everything from high-resolution footage of wide areas to clear, crisp close-ups of specific areas or objects. This flexibility means you're not bound by a one-size-fits-all resolution, and you can tailor your surveillance needs as the situation demands.

H.265 Camera: The Key to Efficient Surveillance

Before diving deeper into multi-resolution support, let’s first discuss the importance of H.265 compression. H.265, also known as HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), has become one of the most popular compression formats in the surveillance industry due to its efficiency. Compared to the older H.264 standard, H.265 offers the same or better video quality at half the bit rate, which directly translates to reduced bandwidth usage and storage requirements.

For businesses, this means that they can maintain high-quality video surveillance without worrying about costly upgrades to storage systems or an excessive demand on network bandwidth. This is a major pain point for many industries that rely on continuous video recording, as excessive data can slow down networks and fill up storage devices quicker than expected.

So, how does multi-resolution support enhance this experience?

Reducing Bandwidth Strain with Flexible Resolutions

Let’s consider a scenario in which you’re monitoring a large parking lot using an H.265 camera. You need to keep an eye on vehicles, but not every camera angle needs to capture everything in the highest resolution. By enabling multi-resolution support, your camera system can adjust its resolution depending on the area being monitored. For wide-angle shots of the parking lot, a lower resolution can be used to save bandwidth and storage space. But when there’s motion or a vehicle is close to the camera, the system can automatically switch to a higher resolution to capture clear details, such as license plates.

This dynamic adjustment is crucial for balancing video quality with system efficiency. If you’re using traditional surveillance systems without multi-resolution support, you may find yourself facing high bandwidth costs or low-quality footage when it’s needed most. With the H.265 camera and multi-resolution capabilities, you can maximize both efficiency and effectiveness.

Multi-Resolution and Scalability

One of the major advantages of multi-resolution support is scalability. Whether you're dealing with a small office or a sprawling industrial facility, the ability to adjust video resolution based on specific needs makes scaling your surveillance system a lot easier. It’s common for organizations to start with a few cameras and later need to expand. Without multi-resolution capabilities, scaling could result in significant increases in storage, network bandwidth, and processing power.

However, with multi-resolution support, as your needs grow, you can easily adjust video quality based on the demands of each specific area. This makes scaling your security system more cost-effective and manageable without compromising on surveillance quality.

Ensuring Clear and Detailed Footage with H.265 Cameras

Another significant benefit of multi-resolution support is its ability to provide detailed footage when it matters most. Take a scenario in a retail environment where you’re using an H.265 camera to monitor a cashier's register. You need clear details for identifying individuals, checking transaction information, or even reading credit card details. In such a case, the system can automatically adjust to a higher resolution to capture those critical details without overloading the system.

On the flip side, if you’re monitoring a wider area like a parking lot or hallway, the system can lower the resolution to maintain an efficient use of resources without sacrificing important footage. This dynamic adaptability ensures that you don’t need to sacrifice quality for performance.

Streamlining Storage and Reducing Costs

Storing high-definition footage can quickly consume massive amounts of storage space. With multi-resolution support, the system’s ability to adapt to varying resolutions based on the surveillance area can save a significant amount of storage. As H.265 cameras compress data more efficiently, the need for high amounts of storage space decreases dramatically without sacrificing quality.

For organizations with strict budget constraints, this feature can help lower the costs associated with both storage hardware and network infrastructure. Whether you are managing a few surveillance cameras or hundreds, multi-resolution support ensures that your system remains both cost-efficient and highly effective.

Empowering Remote Access and Monitoring

Many businesses and institutions require remote access to their surveillance feeds for quick decision-making or troubleshooting. The flexibility provided by multi-resolution support can optimize video streaming over the internet. For instance, when remote users are accessing the surveillance feed, the system can adjust the resolution according to their network speed, ensuring smooth playback and reducing buffering.

How Companies Use Innovation to Stand Out in Crowded Markets

In a world saturated with options, businesses face the challenge of standing out and attracting customers in crowded markets. To thrive, companies must adopt strategies that highlight their unique strengths and appeal directly to their target audience’s needs. Innovation plays a central role in helping businesses differentiate themselves by continuously offering fresh solutions and creating memorable experiences for customers. In this article, I’ll explore several ways companies use innovation to set themselves apart and build lasting brand loyalty.
