Here’s some tweets from Doc Wyatt’s Twitter, answering a question from a fan about the old storylines of Ninjago and their possible inclusion in dragons rising.

The question was:

“Hi Doc, Could Anything that had Wasted Potential Get Some Light in this New Series of Ninjago.

There was More Questions then Answers in the Shows old Show.

#DragonsRising [insert: a picture of Jay’s birth mother]”

Doc’s response was:

“A fair question. As Asa said, we're trying to make a show that new viewers, or kids watching for the first time, can understand without having to know 14 or 15 seasons of lore to follow the story.

But that said, it's also vital we honor the storytelling history that made Ninjago great. So yes, we'll be picking up some story threads from the classic series (no spoilers about which ones).

But we're going to need to build to them. Ninjago is, and always has been, a story that unfolds over time. The first Ninjago saga took 12 years to tell.

I'm not saying Dragons Rising will go for that long (I have no idea how long it will run) but if you don't see your favorite storyline immediately picked up on June 1st (or in fall 23) don't think it never will be. Ninjago is a world, not a single season”

(My own commentary under the cut)

…so essentially it is very possible that old storylines are going to be picked up, or at least, Ninjago is keeping their options open.

The trailers show that dragons rising is already paying homage to much of ninjago’s worldbuilding, with the inclusions/mentions/cameos of:

The realm of madness from season 1

The cloud kingdom from season 5

Various races (who have now fully integrated into ninjago’s general public) such as the hypnobrai (s1), whack rats (12), geckles and munce (13), merlopians (Seabound) and possibly nindroids

Ghosts from the departed realm have also been seen in the Lego sets

The concept of Elemental masters is acknowledged

All I’m saying is that there are so many more opportunities to touch upon past story beats, since every area of Ninjago is easily accessible now. That means the first realm, the never realm, the cursed realm, the underworld, djinnjago - they’re all revisitable!

And personally I would be willing to wait 12 years if it means the writers can come up with a good way of reintroducing any of the old concepts. I don’t wanna get my hopes up but just think of the possibilities!

one thing about northern ireland is that everyone has seen derry girls. and loves it. for example i went to the ulster museum today and they had the chalkboard on display

Things the ninja fear, except they make zero sense:

Kai: I refuse to forget he’s afraid of elves. It’s a good thing Christmas doesn’t exist for them, he would NOT survive the groups of little kids dressing up as elves for it.

Zane: uneven floor tiles. They literally had one job and now he feels like pulling them out of the ground and putting them back in an organised pattern that fits. He has done this once before at the monastery at 5am and Wu had to, for the first time ever, hit him with his stick and tell him to go to bed.

Lloyd: Bunnies. Specifically ones with white fur and red eyes. It reminds him of Harumi and Garmadon a tad too much. And Akita. Every time it reminds him of Akita he actually just turns super depressed until he sees the red eyes and screeches onto the ceiling spider-man style.

Cole: bleach. He drank it as a kid, got caught, and was rushed to the hospital. He didn’t understand what was so serious but all the panic made him terrified of bleach, and most cleaning products that aren’t used for hygiene.

Nya: the colour yellow. Ironic, isn’t it?

(She once was in a house that was fully yellow as a child and couldn’t tell up from down and ended up sobbing like a baby. Kai had to sell all of the fully yellow things in their house.)

Jay: crocodile’s. He had a dream when he was younger about a crocodile in his parent’s bed eating them under the blanket and he never got over it. Best part was that it wasn’t gory or detailed or anything, it more cartoony of a dream, but nevertheless he has had a vendetta against crocodiles from that day on.

Edit: Bonus+

Morro: flowers. As a child Wu read him a story about an evil flower that first started the fear, yet when he left the monastery he was no longer afraid. It was during his travels to find out how to become the green ninja that the fear sprouted again. Due to multiple events. He once ate a poisonous flower. He once came across a corrupted flower that was bigger than a mountain and liked to eat stuff. He once came across a cemetery covered in deadly flowers. He once got force fed incredibly sweet flowers. And he once had someone give him a bouquet of flowers, except that person had no idea that this flower can give some people severe allergic reactions. Yeah. He is terrified when he’s near flowers. He likes those really small ones that grow on the ground though if that helps.

Garmadon: the light. He hisses like a vampire when too much light hits either his skin or eyes.

Wu: pitch black darkness. Best believe you’ll find him half transformed into a dragon and in a corner with a spear when the light comes back on.

Skylor: beards. They look like rats nests to her. Specifically ones on people with bad hygiene, she will automatically back away and get close to throwing up in fear if that thing comes near. After seeing Wu’s beard care routine (cause you have to have one with a beard that long) Skylor has accepted Wu to be one of the people that her fear doesn’t apply to.

Pixal: weird scratchy floors, they feel disturbing to her at first, but during her first few weeks alive she watched a movie about creatures coming out of those exact same scratchy floors and she has never been the same. She sits on Zane’s or Cole’s shoulders when they’re near some of those type of carpets.

This was supposed to be fears that didn’t make sense and then I made them all make sense.

Best part, Jay’s fear was me projecting. Number 1 crocodile hater right here.

Kai getting the hots for Libber… Jay being like DID YOU FUCK MY MOM-

this is the true origin of his villain arc

[denkilightning]

so u know how in seabound - a nya centric season - nya became one with the sea and so did nyad like the first elemental master of water and the person she was named after so like symbolically her ancestor as nya carries nyads legacy? haha what if,, what if.. since skybound is jay centric and thats the season we learn that jays adopted and it puts up a question what happened with jays mum,, what if the same thing happened to her. that she became one with the sky. and u know itd fit thematically with jays biggest points in life. like wu found him when he was trying to fly (be in the sky). he was the one who made the bounty into a flying ship. his true potential /literally made him fly/.

just a silly thought

[somelegobird]

I found this fluid simulation thing and immediately imagined:

Jay finding it and getting stuck staring at it, he shows it on his phone to Cole who immediately gets stuck staring at it too, then Kai sees them and checks out what's happening on Jay's phone, and he also gets stuck.

Nya later finds them all mesmerised and staring at Jay's phone after hours of wondering where they all were

gonna get a haircut tomorrow....... i've never been so scared in my life

[resident-gay-bitch]

The demon (marauders brainrot) in me is creating temptations beyond the flesh (compelling me to write a multichap about Wayne Munson & Eddie’s mum growing up) that are unshakeable and deadly (there is no target audience for this bullshit)

[itsalwaysforyou]

jay not asking coach about letting lonnie onto the team bc he doesn’t want to do anything coach might disagree with…….

[kiaerinnn]

My mum guesses the Ninja! She knows Kai and Cole because they're my favorites, she knows the others too but just forgot lol. (GUESS WHAT THOUGH, I GOT A COLE PLUSHIE AND 3 NINJAGO SETS FOR CHRISTMAS AHAHHA) *also volume down a little, I went a little too loud on the YAAAAAAAYYYYYY*

[weepylucifer]

sometimes i think it would actually be kind of funny if Ulixes is from a relatively well off family and he gets all "ougghbg my working class boy 😩💦" about Steban

[noattentionsstuff]

Ninjago au where everything is the same except after ray and Maya come back somehow all the outher old elemental masters come back as ghosts and just live with them. Idk how this would work I just think having like the other old elemental masters would be funny

[charliespringverse]

imagine i sat down with my laptop planning to write my essay that's due in 2 days and instead i accidentally found half of my dead dad's bio family . what the FUCK

[kindaasrikal]

Wu: Pixal, you are amazing. I mean, you sacrificed your life for ninjago!-

Pixal: so you’re not angry at me anymore :D???

Wu, who remembers he’s a parental figure for a group of teens who aren’t used to a Wu that is genuinely mad at them: …..No, I’m not.

(During the never realm season)
