White Ninja Mystery

[gamejutzu]

What I considered to be a female dojo is 70756.

What is it about the Dojo Showdown set, that made it a "female" dojo? I've never seen genders be assigned to dojos.

Hi, gamejutzu. I'm back after 2 months. So sorry I couldn't reply before. I thought it was a female dojo because Niya was a samurai there. LEGO designers understood soon that a woman couldn't be a samurai in ancient Japan and made her a ninja (of Water). But for me water and ice are actually the same, so it could be Zain. His other mystery for me is in what sets but 2171 and Ice Dragon Attack it had DX suit. Perhaps you know it. Thanks.

What? Are you talking about this set?

Nya became a samurai completely on her own. She did not use any dojos, or get help from anyone. She learned how to use weapons herself.

The reason that Nya became a ninja is because she had reached her peak as a samurai, and Sensei Wu convinced her that ninja are much more powerful than a samurai. And Nya could only get her true powers (water) if she became a ninja and found her balance. Nya was not complete as a samurai. Having two seperate identities can not make you complete. As a ninja, Nya found balance and unlocked her powers.

What you said about the LEGO designers is not true. The writers of the show made her a water ninja, and it was to advance her character.

Throughout this entire conversation, you have made many assumptions and few were correct. Please, I ask of you, watch the TV show. You will understand so much more if you do. It is a very good show, and is a good mix between real life and fantasy. It's not as long as other shows, so you can catch up in less time than other shows. You said this:

It seems LEGO fans know more about my favourite series than I do.

This is because we watched the series. There is so much story in Ninjago. And it is why many people like the show. It not only explains characters (like Nya and samurai) but also buildings, like temples. Please do watch it.

Hi, gamejutzu. Thanks again for your detailed explanation. I think you understand ninjago sets interest me more show they are based on. That's why I ask fans in what sets but 2171 and Ice Dragon Attack it and LLoyd DX and Purple ninja had DX suit. Perhaps you know it. Thanks.

If you say so. The show explains the sets, that's why I thought you'd be interested. But that's alright.

Would you be interested in seeing the Ninjago movie when it comes out? It will also explain the characters and locations.

Yes, I'm waiting for it as well as I was for lego movie which I enjoyed very much while visiting the USA. But what about DXsuit. It is the most beautiful of their cloths absent from my collection.

The movie will most likely have completely brand new suits. Though in the show, they do wear the DX suits from time to time.

Also, Lloyd never had a DX suit. It was never said that he had one in the sets or in the show, until it randomly came up in the 5004076 Minifigure Cube.

I'd like to have it

I am afraid you are wrong in most of what you are saying here, but that's okay, I will provide you with some basic information.

First of all, there is the ongoing tv show, the sets are based on characters, locations and vehicles in that story (for the most part): http://ninjago.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_LEGO_Ninjago:_Masters_of_Spinjitzu_Episodes However, the small side-build vehicles and shrines, and dojos in the sets are often not accurate to the show.

Anyway, the ninja team:

Kai - ninja of Fire

Cole - ninja of Earth

Zane - (a.k.a. Titanium Ninja) ninja of Ice

Jay - ninja of Lightning

Nya - (a.k.a. Samurai X) ninja of Water

Lloyd - (a.k.a. Green Ninja, Ultimate Spinjitsu Master) ninja of Energy/Golden Power (not really sure)

I think this should clean up most of the confusion. If you have more questions, you can just ask in the Ninjago 2016 set discussion thread or the Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu show discussion thread.

If you want to get really technical Dareth was called the Brown Ninja of Wind, albeit as a gag (but he did go on to defeat the Stone Army himself...). I also suspect we will see Skylar as the Orange Ninja of Amber at some point.

The only thing close to a "Female Dojo" would be the 70596 Samurai Cave. Nya's secret base.

Let's hope the dragons won't disappear while they're popular. And here is one more thing about ninjago, their vehicles and popularity - LEGO fans's projects seldome become official sets but they enspire designers. And if they're connected with existing series they show the wat fans would like to see them. For examle a saw a shrine - not a nice LDD creation which I never use bur there was a purple ninja there. It didn't gather 10 000 supporters but we'kk see a purple ninja in the 2nd wave of ninjago 2016, maybe in the largest vehicle. So if fans build theit own versions of temples for the white ninja, we'll see him and the White Ninja Mystery will be solved.So far this summer's temple will be Cole's I guess.

Depending on what you consider a "Purple Ninja" there is the child fan, Nelson who has his own homemade outfit. (He may actually be the Purple Ninja. Isn't he the kid we have previously seen wearing the shirt with the number 9? Much like Lloyd was presaged with 5? If we count up to those we might consider legit members of the Ninja family. We have the core 4. Lloyd the Green Ninja is 5. Dareth, the "Brown Ninja of Wind" is 6. Skylar, the Amber or Orange Ninja (and Kai's Girlfriend) would be 7. Nya, when she finally accepted the role and dons her Ninja gear as the Ninja of Water becomes 8, So Nelson, as a joke or not would be 9. )

Hi. Gamejutzu. Thanks for your detailed explanatios. i just wanted to knoe when Zane's Temple will become an offitial set.

I think you are still a little confused as to the relationships of the Temples to the Ninja. The Ninja themselves have or inhabit Temples or Dojo's dedicated to their style. Spinjitsu, Airjitsu are the two main ones. The Fire Temple was one of four hiding places for the elemental weapons. It wasn't Kai's Temple. It was someplace they raided to get their artifacts. 

Now we have seen settings and buildings key to different Ninja. The Blacksmith Shop was Kai and Nya's home. The closest you will find for a Temple or Place for Zane is 70594 The Lighthouse Siege, which is or was Zane's fathers home. 

In Ninjago the Vehicles line up to the individual Ninja, as do Dragons. The larger buildings are generally just some ancient places that they go to to find some ancient weapon or lost knowledge.

Oh, my mistake. I referred to the Glacier Barrens and the Frozen Wastelands as the same area, they actually are not. The Glacier Barrens are a cluster of icy mountains where the Hypnobrai tomb is. It's a totally different place.

Also, the next Ninjago wave is Hands of Time. Main characters are Nya and Kai. No new temples, unless you count a blacksmith forge that can fuse elements.
