Episode 9: The Forest of Spirits
Holy moly this was a hard review to get done. But finally I found the time. Here is one of the best episodes in Ninjago history.
Plot: We see a young Ras fall to the bottom of a cliff. He tries to climb it but he can't do it. His master finds him and saves his life in exchange for his loyalty. He orders the cloud kingdom to be destroyed along with the cloud monks.
Meanwhile Kai is trying to climb the cliff in his mech and get Wyldfyre and Sora to safety. He slips up and almost drops Wyldfyre, but luckily catches her. He manages to get the girls to safety but is immediately attacked by wolf mask warriors. They fight them off and get the idea to dress like the wolf mask warriors to sneak into the ritual and save the cloud monks. Wyldfyre tries to stand on her leg and it doesn't hurt anymore. They follow them to the shadow dojo and infiltrate the ritual. Jordana shows up and tells Ras the spell was stolen so Ras goes and tries to get it by himself.
Lloyd and Nya are trying to make it to the blood moon before Ras starts his ritual, but are stopped when Lloyd has another vision.
Jordana uses her magic to trap Bonzle and take her in her vehicle. Arin and Riyu see her driving by decide to go after her. Riyu takes Arin and flies to follow her. Arin jumps on her car and gets thrown off, but eventually commandeers it and tries to get Bonzle far away from the blood moon. Ras finds him and attacks him and Riyu. He explains to Arin how important strength is, that the ninja aren't teaching him anything, and then throws him to the ground. He takes the car and Bonzle back to the shadow dojo. Arin sees his parents running up to him.
Meanwhile, Cole, Zane and the sorceress figure a way of out of the imperiam cage in the store house. They try to find an exit, but nothing works. The sorceress goes through her potions and spells and hits Zane and Cole with them. When he shrinks down, Cole has the idea to let tiny Zane through the keyhole and lets them all out. They find the cloud kingdom and make their way up to it.
Things I enjoyed:
- OMG BABY RAS WAS SO CUTE!!! ☺️
- Geez Cinder is a new kind of violent and it makes the show so much more mature. I love it!
- Wyldfyre being scared of heights is so sweet because it reminds us that she's still a little kid.
- I know I've said this before, but I love the way Lloyd is portrayed as having anxiety.
- The way Cole was trying to break down the door to get to Bonzle. 🥺
- I love how this episode takes us out of the "we have to save the world" thing and just distracts us with these wacky antics. That's always fun to do that once in a while.
- Arin and Riyu flying together are probably my favorite part of this episode.
- The battle with Kai, the girls and the wolf masks was pretty awesome.
- Riyu just took Jordana and YEETED her off the vehicle! 😂
- The blood moon lighting is still so good!
- I don't know what's wrong with Kai's hair but I don't hate it.
- Wyldfyre and Kai have some great dialogue in this episode.
- COLE IS SUCH A PUPPY!!! And now he's a REAL PUPPY!!! 🐶😍
- Zane just growing and shrinking. ☺️
- Wow the shadow dojo looks so cool in the blood moon lighting.
- Ras is not afraid to just hit children and teenage dragons.
Things I didn't like:
- I'm sorry I would really like to know who this Janet character is that Gandalaria keeps mentioning.
- I'm sorry, the lavatides dancing around the toaster was just weird.
- All this skipping around to different characters is making it extremely difficult to write the plot for this review. (I don't mind too much though, it's an amazing episode!)
- Ok apparently there is no age limit for driving vehicles in Ninjago. (I shouldn't even be surprised, Lloyd was like ~8 when he drove his first car.)
- What was the point of that mummy geckle sleeping in the chest? Weird.
- Nobody notices the ninja's bad disguises. Again.
- How is Arin still breathing after Ras literally almost killed him?!
Favorite line: "I'm always adorable." - Puppy Cole
Overall score: 10/10
Seriously though, I absolutely love this episode! This review was probably my longest ever (over 750 words) so I'll probably wait till tomorrow to post the finale. Ok, see you guys tomorrow! Stay Awesome!
