GarmaFan

I'd put the ninja in their twenties by Skybound, too, but I was trying to keep it consistent with what they've said.

So Garmadon was only banished for a decade, instead of centuries.. why does it feel like the timeline keeps shrinking? And there might be an explanation to Wu's weird aging.. would love to see what the official explanation to that is.. I hope it isn't Tomorrow's Tea.

A bit confused by what he said here. He said the Golden Master legend was a myth, but.. in what way? The GM didn't turn out to be Lloyd, but it still ended up existing.

From what we know about their ages, I'm gonna try to make an estimation: they're teenagers, so they're in the range of 13-19. "18-19" are right on the border-line before twenty, so let's remove those numbers. That leaves us with 13-17. Let's split that, and say they're 13-15 to start off. There's about two years between Season 2 and Season 3, so, they're 15-17 in Rebooted. Assuming it's been almost a year since Rebooted by Skybound, they're about 16-18. Nya is two years younger than Kai, Cole, and Jay, so in Skybound, she's 14-16. Lloyd is the youngest of the ninja, so let's say he's... 7-9 in the beginning, and 10-13 by Skybound. As for his physical age? Well, you can't really number physical ages now, can you? He is... adolescent. Despite his voice, he looks old enough to pass as the same age as the other ninja. Masters of Spinjitzu-Rise of the Spinjitzu Master Kai, Cole, and Jay: 13-15 Nya: 11-13 Lloyd: 7-9 Zane: 60s (physically around the age as the other ninja) Rebooted-Possession Kai, Cole, and Jay: 15-17 Nya: 13-15 Lloyd: 9-11 Zane: 60s (shiny) Skybound onwards Kai, Cole, and Jay: 16-18 Nya: 14-16 Lloyd: 10-13 Zane: 60s (still shiny)

Garmadon fell to the Underworld long before Zane was built though. While the timeline is.. confusing to say the least, supplementary material always states that the battle between brothers happened a very long time before the show. Despite certain developments, it seems that hasn't been retconned, but the show itself avoids mentioning just how long ago certain things (primarily the Wu/Garmadon/Serpentine War era(s)) happened beyond the vague "long before time had a name" or "long ago". Kai's chest hairs were retconned in the time travel episode in Season 2. The new model they used for the past Kai was exactly the same, but with no chest hair. But still, I think you're thinking about it too hard. Characters always do improbable things for their age in children's media. Kids travel the world catching dangerous super powered electric mice without adult supervision, adolescents fight in wars..etc. We have no reason to believe that time passes in real-time. I notice a lot of Ninjago fans either assume that, or that several years pass between almost every season. We know that years have passed since the beginning, but we don't know how many. Aside from between Rise of the Spinjitzu Master and Rebooted, the time between seasons is most likely a few weeks at most. The cliffhangers don't really allow much time.

He said that, but one of the Hageman Bros. confirmed they were teenagers. Their current word now probably has more weight than what a script said five years ago. And Zane wasn't around before Samukai was banished. Samukai took Dr. Julien to force him to make plans for their vehicles, so Garmadon already conquered them at that point. Remember, the skeletons can leave the Underworld anytime. But wait, was it ever mentioned Samukai was banished? The skeletons are already native to the Underworld.
