Go To

Airdate: July 8, 2015

The Ninja travel to the tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, which escalates into a race against time to get the Realm Crystal first before Morro does.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Foreshadowing: Two instances of this when the Ninja enter the ice maze that shows their futures when they look into its walls.
  • Only Smart People May Pass: Passing the first riddle in the tomb requires someone to know what a zoetrope is. Fortunately, Zane does, and as a nindroid can quickly work out what it's showing.
  • People Puppets: Misako is temporarily possessed by Bansha, but Nya manages to hit her with some water and undo it.
  • Repower: In order to threat Lloyd's life, Morro has to exit his body, and does so long enough to allow the ninja's powers to start kicking back in.
  • Sarcasm Mode: When Kai tells Jay to be less Jay about their situation, he lets lose with the sarcasm.
  • Slippy-Slidey Ice World: The labyrinth inside the Spinjitzu Master's tomb is made of ice, which gives the ninja and Morro some problems when they try fighting on it.
  • We Wait: Wu's declaration when the Ocean's Bounty catches up to the tomb, to find some of the ghosts already there but unwilling to attack.
  • You Can't Thwart Stage One: Morro successfully grabs the Realm Crystal and sets off to free the Preeminent.
