History Headscratchers / Ninjago

** Is there any evidence that each element can only have one master? In season 4, [[spoiler: Kai thought Skylor was a fellow master, and Ray and Maya are still alive as of the Hands of Time arc.]] The previous Master of Ice could have sacrificed his power to pass it to Zane, but he's a special case as robots don't have bloodlines.

** Ray and Maya explicitly lost their powers in favor of Kai and Nya, though when and how that happened isn't entirely clear (when they were born, when they awakened their powers, some other time....). No other former elemental masters have appeared (outside of flashbacks before their successors existed and one brief flashback of Cole's mother which doesn't address whether she still has her powers or not), so it could always work out differently if the plot needs it to, but for the time being, it seems safe to assume that there can only be one wielder of a given element at a time, except for the element of Time.

*** How did the weapons end up on the comet in season 3? If the time traveling was undone, the weapons should've stayed in Ninjago.

*** Let's just say that the Mega-Weapon got split back into the Golden Weapons upon crashing into the comet and leave the time travel thing at that. The original (past) Golden Weapons stayed in the past, where they would eventually be fused into the Mega-Weapon (awakening the Grundel, et al), taken back in time, and shot off to the comet.

** He also only got posssesed ''once'' (by Morro), and that was because he was led into a trap and thus taken by surprise. It's also his first time encountering a ghost, and presumably fighting off a ghost possession must be difficult since it took most of the season to do so. Not mention that he was completely drained when Morro left his body. Otherwise he's completely fine in seasons 4, 6, and 7 - with the writers giving him an arc where he learns to become the leader of the ninja.

* So do Elemental Masters retain their powers after having kids or do they lose them once their kids develop powers? It's not made especially clear.

During the Tournament of Elements [[spoiler: We're treated to cameos of not one, but two villains from the Ultra Agents Toyline: Toxikita and Invizable(Whose name is now Paleman) as the masters of poison and light respectively. It says on the Lego wiki that these two are the same villains and not just characters who happen to look like them. Does this mean Ultra Agents and Ninjago take place in the same world? And if it does, this just raises even more questions, such as where are the agents during everything that winds up threatening the world? Is Astor City on the other side of the planet and only a few people from Ninjago have been there?]]

** Given how friendly Nadakhan was with his crew, it’s very likely seeing his homeland destroyed and the prospect of ultimate power became clear, the pirate became more twisted and wasn’t always so merciless. As for PIXAL, it’s likely Nadakhan treated that as a technicality by harming PIXAL instead of Zane.

** There are plenty of other ways to access other realms, like Traveler's Tea or straight-up magic. The Realm Crystal is just the most convenient way to travel to other realms because it can access all of them, is easily portable, and doesn't seem to have prerequisites to use, hence why it's dangerous enough to have been buried with the First Spinjitzu Master. Soto's crew could have created portals to other realms with Traveler's Tea and shoved Nandakhan's crew in, or used some other realm-accessing method that hasn't appeared onscreen.

* If the Staff of Elements needed the powers of ''every'' Elemental Master for Chen's spell to work, how was it able to be cast without [[spoiler: Nya's Water Element]]?
