#ninjago elements

Since Ninjago is getting super out there with its elements I would like to propose nuclear power as an element

[iamsonormalaboutninjago]

A real tournament of elements between all the currently known elements!

This is a bracket tournament like the real tournament of elements, with a new match up every day or so. This is a match up between the elements themselves, not the masters of those elements.

Creation, Destruction, and Amber aren’t participating due to being too overpowered.

The poll is now closed. I made this a week long poll by accident, sorry.

Mind: 49.3

Wind 50.7

So how exactly does “brute force” work? Is it literally just hitting things hard enough to cause a shockwave? Cause that’s all Nokt was doing last season in his fights. While the idea behind it is dumb I think it would be cool if he uses it in tandem with his shatterspin to make it more effective and damaging

Had the vision that if golden Lloyd uses the power of destruction + golden power it just creates a black hole

Take me back to the night we met..

I was remembering the moment when they get thrown out of the plane in Tournament of Elements and I thought it would look epic like this

[blueeyessynchro]

This has most definitely been done before but:

Morro: Since when are you good?

Garmadon: Since when are you dead?

The Elements - Overview

This is a much more in-depth respond to @maakujiten's question on my this post. That being said this canon to both my FSM lives au and my Wu and Garmadon ToE au.

Also, I'm excluding the Source Dragons in this explanation because I don't know enough about them yet. I may or may not rework this explanation when we find out more depending on how much I care.

Essences:

Balance - The First Spinjitzu Master's essence. It is the balance and very fabric of the Sixteen Realms. He is the incarnation of it and the only being to truly possess it - though his children can manipulate it to an extent. If another dragoni child was born that wasn't his descendent, they would not possess it.

I've been associating the element with dark red, partly because red is green's complementary colour, partly because I read a fic that mentioned Lloyd got his red eyes from his grandfather, and partly because I like red and think it's cool. But you can imagine whatever.

Destruction - A primordial essence that has been around since the beginning. While all Oni are destruction made living and can use it, the only ones who specialise in it's essence are Garmadon and the First Oni, both of whom are stronger in this specific essence than the First Spinjitzu Master.

Creation - A primordial essence that has been around since the beginning. While all First Realm Dragons are creation made living and can use it, the only ones who specialise in it are Wu and Firstbourne, both of whom are stronger in this specific essence than the First Spinjitzu Master.

Energy - Lloyd's essence. It's derived from the essence of balance. While Lloyd and his Grandfather can both use it, Lloyd is the one who specialises in it, and is stronger than him for in this element in particular

Darkness/imbalance - Ninjago Wiki calls the Overlord's essence Darkness, and this made sense when it was introduced back in season 2 as an opponent to the First Spinjitzu Master's light and creation. However, since then, FSM has shown to more likely be balance than light, so the Overlord's essence is now imbalance; the absence of balance. The Overlord doesn't actually balance out FSM (they balance out themself) but just kind of exists independently.

Elements of Creation:

These are the elements that are derived purely from creation - i.e. if you combined them you would get pure creation. Dragons that possess these cannot have another element as they are too powerful, though not as powerful as essences. The elemental masters who carry these elements are stronger than other EMs.

Ice

Lightning

Fire

Earth

Elements of Destruction:

These are the elements that are derived purely from destruction - if you combined them you would get pure destruction. The Oni that possess these cannot have another element, again because they are too powerful. The elemental masters who carry these elements are stronger than other EMs.

Sound

Shadow

Mind

Gravity

Associated with Creation:

These are the other elements dragons can wield. Being less powerful than those derived straight from creation, dragons can sometimes possess muliple of them at once. The masters of these elements cannot possess multiple and will be weaker than the elements of creation and destruction.

Fusion

Heat

Light

Technology

Nature

Associated with Destruction:

These are the other elements Oni can wield. Being less powerful than those derived straight from destruction, Oni can sometimes possess muliple of them at once. The masters of these elements cannot possess multiple and will be weaker than the elements of creation and destruction.

Form - While an element in terms of elemental masters, form isn't an element when it comes to the Oni, and is rather an ability that all Oni possess, regardless of what element they have.

Poison

Speed

Smoke

Metal

Wojira’s Elements:

These are the elements that didn't come into existence with the First Realm, but rather when Wojira, the incarnation of the realm that the continent of Ninjago is in, came into existence. That's why the First Spinjitzu Master cannot wield them.

Wind - The mortal form of the element of storm. Morro is it's the first user, which is why Wu thought Morro might be the green ninja.

Water - The mortal form of the element of wave.

In addition to working out how the elements work I've also worked out some lore for Wojira and the First Spinjitzu Master. Which I'll write an actual post about sometime.

Other Elements:

Amber - An artificial element created by a mortal a few thousand years after Ninjago's creation.

Time - Time is an element created in the First Realm, but unlike the others, it is neither a element of creation nor destruction. As such both Oni and Dragon can possess it. Like the elements of creation and destruction, any dragons and Oni that possess will not be able to use another element.

While this makes sense to me, I'm not sure how much sense it will make to others, so please ask any questions you might have!

IVE BEEN laughing at this clip ONLY KAI And Cole are fighting. LLOYD acting like it was a full team bonding fight while just standing there watching.💀

Also fact that no one else was helping at all almost makes Kai’s line “we make such a good team,” feel like flirting

[dreamweave01]

Man, I think I'm funny :)

I drew a mini Ninjago Comic thing cuz Ninjago is my childhood lol

[mimenoises]

A funny little crack headcannon my friend and I talked about in a hypothetical world where euphrasia doesn't exist . Jay and nya's hypothetical child develops wind powers and they come to a horrible realization

[mary-mythos]

Y'all I drew this "instead of drawing """"real fanart""""" and got way carried away because rendering eyes is my absolute favorite

All this effort just to show my personal headcannons on what they look like with and without using their powers. (Zane gets robotic eyes regardless of form and they go icy when he's using his powers)
