I come to you, Ninjago Fandom, to say one thing and one thing only.

...Jay should win the Ninjago Sexyman Tournament.

Jay, canonically, gets so many bitches. This pathetic loser of a man somehow managed to become the host of a TV show just by making the dumbest puns known to mankind.

Jay could probably get any of the ninja(excluding Lloyd) to date him. You have seen how gay he is with all of them, the way he seduces them. The way he manages to somehow lure them in despite being a wet sock in the form of a person.

Jay managed to form the League of Jay, essentially a cult to his name without even trying. There is no doubt in my mind that he has managed to make people question both their sexuality and their gender identity. He does this with no effort on his part, only purely through existing and being a rockstar nerd.

Merely through standing there he attracted the Munce Queen who lives in a culture where only the strongest and best of the Munce gain higher status.

He even managed to get Nya.

Jay, canonically, has the power of a sexyman. He is the most pathetic loser to ever exist and yet he gets all the bitches

...That is all. Have a good day and may the best Sexyman win.

Elemental of Lightning

I think Jay canonically not dying even once in the entire show is really funny.

But also it gave me the idea for my fave headcanon for him ever a while ago so, Jay fandom this is for you;

Unless Jay gets any of his vital organs damaged [Ex. him getting large amound of sea water in his lungs in Seabound], he can't die.

If he gets thrown/crushed by something and his heart enters cardiac arrest without damage to any of his organs?

His lighting powers would just, automatically re-start his heart if it were to stop.

Not only that, but depending on the wound and the organ, his lightning can also turn off his nerves because of the sudden adrenaline rush, so he can't feel the said pain unless the adrenaline wears off.

If he were to get beaten to death, he can't die unless his entire body bleeds to multiple organ failures and he won't feel the pain of it until he loses the adrenaline rush he's in due to the said blood loss.

TLDR: Jay's lighting powers are his built in Defibrillator unless he fucks up his vital organs and bleeds to death/organ failure.

I will forever push the "In terms of raw elemental power, Jay would be the strongest and most versatile in terms of range of his elemental abilities out of the main group (not including Lloyd obviously)" agenda

You don’t understand how satisfied this exchange makes me.

i know plot convenience is a thing but i can’t stop thinking about the implications of jay finding bonzle in the fake monastery’s basement of all places. did he know it was there before he walked into the building? did his feet carry him there, subconsciously retracing old steps? did he wait there, knowing he was far from the fight, because his side of the fight wasn’t the one he truly believed in?

Ninjago fanfic writers look at jay and ask “is anyone gonna torture that?” And even though everyone says yes they do it anyways

Obsessed with Jay fully knowing he has lightning powers, but tucking that shit so far back down it's right next to where he keeps all his insecurities. By which I mean I know damn well he is SO bad at hiding his element. The toaster in the break room is on the fritz and he goes over to fix it and winds up sparking it back to life on accident. Someone bursts into his office when he's playing video games and he startles so bad he sends an electrical shock through the controller and blows a fuse. He's out on a mission in the middle of a storm and whenever anyone touches him they keep getting zapped with weirdly powerful static.

He insists no one knows. The truth is that most people don't know because the Administration would have to do too much paperwork if Jay actually had powers so they live in blissful ignorance. The few that do know keep their mouths shut and decide it's just a quirk of their weird manager. Jay's humming the mission impossible theme under his breath every other day, which is probably why he never even bothered to get to the "huh, I wonder why I have these weird powers" stage. And he will continue to not think about it until he dies. Or Nya finally finds him and has a meltdown over her greatest fear coming true. One of the two

have i ever told yall that for like over a year ive had this idiot as my cursor

Once again rambling about Jay and his awesome power. One thing I've noticed about him, especially with his power, is that it seems to tax him a lot more than the others' does. Probably because of the power and intensity of lightning. I've seen so many posts about how Jay uses a very small voltage when he fights because he doesn't want to hurt people, but what seems to be supported by the canon is that it also hurts him. Every time he deals with pure lightning bolts (rather than just shocks), he seems to hurt himself in the process. This is proven in season 14 when he is literally sparking after recharging the ship.

And judging by his expressions, it's affecting him. It hurts and exhausts him.

And in season 6 and season 8 we see how dealing with direct bolts of lightning affects him. In season 6, he screams when it hits him.

And in season 8, he gets physically exhausted for a moment after redirecting.

At least from what I have seen, this is very different from the other ninja, who seem to be able to control their elements-for the most part-at different intensities without it affecting them. (Aside from Lloyd.)

Which just brings me to the point that I personally believe that Jay's power is the most powerful of the creation elements. He doesn't use it to its full potential (and KO enemies, like he could) because, while he can handle like 900 million volts (in season 6 he's struck by like 3 direct bolts of lightning, and survives), that doesn't mean he will be combat ready after that.

This might also be why Wu brought him into the team early (with Cole). He probably needed a lot more training on pain tolerance, keeping the mind and body calm, and probably lots of other endurance training. (Which is indirectly canon with how well he was able to handle Nadakhan's mental and physical torture vs the other ninja.) His power is so unpredictable, and so his training must have been very rough when he first got his powers, which is once again supported by the canon as both Nya and Lloyd talk about how he destroyed the South(?) Wing of the Monastery with an electrical fire while practicing his powers. Wu probably had to focus on his control a lot more than with the other ninja (probably like how he had to with Nya, if you think about it. Lightning and Water are both hard to control, so concentration would be key to learn for both of them, which is ironic with Jay's fanon ADHD).

Point is, Jay is super cool and so underrated sometimes. I really think it'd be cool if the show went more into how their powers affected them! Though speculation is also fun.

Anyways. Jay with the lightning chicken because they would be (are) besties.
