History[]
Early life[]
Long before time had a name, the First Spinjitzu Master was born in the Realm of Oni and Dragons. There, he was a hybrid of both the Oni and the dragons. At some point, he bonded with the mother of all dragons, the Firstbourne. Together, they created the Dragon Armor, and sought to unite the two races of the realm, and end their long war.
However, after the two sides refused to end the war and began to fight over which side he should choose, the First Spinjitzu Master realized that even he could not end the conflict between the two races.Devastated, he took off the Dragon Armor and created the Realm Crystal to leave the Realm of Oni and Dragons and went on to find a new home, leaving Firstbourne behind to guard the Dragon Armor and hoping for his return.
The First Spinjitzu Master used the Realm Crystal to traverse all the Sixteen Realms, except the Departed Realm. While traveling throughout the realms, he eventually went to the Never-Realm and nearly found himself trapped there until he somehow found a way back.
Eventually, the child finally found himself in a realm of a vast ocean engulfed in chaos, caused by the sea serpent Wojira who ruled the sea and winds. With the help of the islanders and Merlopians, the First Spinjitzu Master engaged in a battle with Wojira, but she was too powerful even for their combined efforts. Nyad, the first Elemental Master of Water merged with the ocean by sacrificing her physical body to defeat the serpent. The First Spinjitzu Master then gave the Storm Amulet to the leader of the islanders and the Wave Amulet to the king of the Merlopians. The First Spinjitzu Master created a scroll that is a complete list of the elemental powers, but the scroll had no mention of Water and Wind. He would later tell his sons an old fairy tale about how he mastered all of the elemental powers, but never Wind or Water.
Forming Ninjago[]
With the seas now calmed and the realm at peace, the First Spinjitzu Master forged the four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu in the Temple of Light using gold from the Golden Peaks. With the weapons, he created the island of Ninjago, including the Serpentine deep in the earth. In addition to these, he also created four of the other realms. Ninjago was in harmony for a while, but darkness eventually manifested to counterbalance the light of the land. From the darkness came an evil spirit called "The Overlord," who challenged the First Spinjitzu Master to a battle for the fate of the world.
The First Spinjitzu Master fought the Overlord for a long time, with neither gaining the upper hand. Eventually, the Overlord created an indestructible army to aid him, nearly overwhelming the First Spinjitzu Master. To save the world from the grip of darkness, the First Spinjitzu Master used his powers to split Ninjago in two, destroying the Overlord's physical form and trapping the spirit on an island what would come to be known as the Island of Darkness. This act balanced the forces of light and shadow, ensuring that the Overlord could never return to Ninjago.
With the Overlord defeated, the First Spinjitzu Master was able to seal away the dormant Stone Army in an indestructible tomb, which he buried deep beneath what would eventually become Ninjago City. At some point he traveled to the Island of Darkness to hide his Golden Mech in the Temple of Light, and gifted Elemental Powers to a select few to serve as their guardians, ensuring that their Elemental Powers would be passed to their descendants.
Legacy[]
Upon defeating a dark entity of pure evil, The Overlord, and splitting the land into two halves, he empowered humans with Elemental Powers to become his guardians. Eventually, he fathered two sons, Wu and Garmadon, and entrusted them with defending the Golden Weapons. Shortly before his demise, he sealed himself into a tomb deep in the Endless Sea, where the Realm Crystal was also stored away.
After the Oni were vanquished by the efforts of the Ninja and his sons, the First Spinjitzu Master summoned Lloyd to an unknown place in order to thank him for saving Ninjago.
Personality[]
The First Spinjitzu Master was known to be wise, gentle, kind and brave, showing that he was willing to put his life over the millions who may had suffered due to his battle against the Overlord. He wasn't one to take sides, as shown with the endless war between the Oni and the Dragons, and instead chose to end conflicts in a peaceful matter, thus causing him to leave the First Realm to create his own. Likewise, he also taught his sons the importance of humility, patience, and respect for others. Despite his great benevolence, however, there are a few hints mentioned throughout the series that the First Spinjitzu Master wasn't always a perfect being. Garmadon said that his father built Ninjago on power, and despite him treating his sons in the same manner with no apparent preference, it's implied that he tended to be more understanding with Wu, and could have possibly known that Garmadon had the potential to become evil.
Abilities & Weapons[]
Abilities[]
- Golden Power - The First Spinjitzu Master was the first humanoid user of Golden Power, which was the source of his phenomenal power. The First Spinjitzu Master's power was sufficiently great to wield all the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu at once and Garmadon has stated that the power of the First Spinjitzu Master could move mountains. Even the Oni, including the Omega, who is shown to be more powerful than his older son with his full potential, still would not dare attack Ninjago until his power had disappeared. He also managed to single-handedly defeat The Overlord and his Stone Army eventually in a great war by splitting Ninjago in half, destroying the Overlord's physical body and leaving him trapped in the Island of Darkness and sealing away the Stone Army in an ancient tomb. He had fully mastered the use of all the four main elements: Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Ice and could bestow them to others, as he was the one who gifted the Elemental Masters with their use. From his heritage as a hybrid of both the powers of the Oni and Dragons, he could command the power of Creation (most notably as the Tornado of Creation), and the power of Destruction, which he had at the highest levels, as he was capable of creating something out of nothing while other users needed materials to create and his Creation powers were so great that he had the power to create an entire realm, having single-handedly created Ninjago and some of the other realms, while his Destruction powers could be used to destroy and erase anything and surpassed even The Omega, the leader of the Oni.
- Magic - The First Spinjitzu Master is capable of using Magic. Through Destruction he could used Oni Magic, a form of Dark Magic and also regular magic as well.
- Elemental Powers - An old fairy tale was told to Wu by his father, as confirmed in "A Big Splash," within it is said how the First Spjinitzu Master could use all elemental powers besides other elemental powers like Water, Wind, and Darkness (the other powers he didn't master were Amber, Technology, Heat, and Fusion because they came after his time and were created by The Merge). While the veracity of the tale is unknown, it is implied to be true to some extent as the secondary elements were passed down from the First Spinjitzu Master.
- Soul Control - Through currently unknown means, the First Spinjitzu Master was able to summon Lloyd's spirit to him after he had helped stop the Oni and was also able to return Lloyd back to the living world after their brief encounter.
- Teleportation - While in his afterlife, the First Spinjitzu Master could teleport around while coaching Lloyd on the meaning of life and the future.
- Longevity (Decelerated Aging) - Due to his Oni and Dragon heritage, the First Spinjitzu Master was able to live for several thousands of years. This trait was later passed down to his two sons, as they have lived for thousands of years. It is unknown if his grandson inherited this trait, as he is still very young.
- Supernatural Combat (Martial Arts) - The First Spinjitzu Master was clearly an exceptional martial artist in both armed and hand-to-hand combat, having been the one to develop the martial art of Spinjitzu and he was known to have wielded the Golden Weapons masterfully. He had a Spinjitzu fighting style unique known to him alone (later learned also by Lloyd), which was called the "Golden Dragon". The First Spinjitzu Master was also a highly capable teacher, as, under his tutelage, both of his sons would become excellent fighters in their own right.
- Enhanced Intelligence (Enhanced Wisdom) - The First Spinjitzu Master was known to be extremely wise and intelligent. His intelligence was displayed by how when the time came for him to die, in order to prevent anyone from traversing the realms, the First Spinjitzu Master decided to hide the Realm Crystal in his tomb and cleverly encoded the clues on his staff and created three cunningly laid out deadly traps that the ninja had difficulty cracking. The First Spinjitzu Master was an exceptional weapon crafter, having been the one who shaped the Golden Weapons from the gold of the Golden Peaks before using the Temple of Light's powerful elemental energies to empower them. The First Spinjitzu Master was also equally capable of creating complex machinery as well as using them, as he was the creator of the Golden Mech and was able to use it without fail during his war with the Overlord.
- Shapeshifting - Although never shown, the First Spinjitzu Master is half Oni and therefore able to shapeshift at will into any creature he desires.
- Dimensionkinesis - The First Spinjitzu Master is capable of creating entire realms, such as Ninjago.
Weapons[]
- Golden Weapons: The First Spinjitzu Master was one of the only two beings, the other being The Overlord, who could wield the power of the four Golden Weapons at once (until Dark Magic gave Lord Garmadon the same ability), and he likely wielded them all in combat. In "The Stone Army," he is pictured with a glowing sword of pure energy, similar to the Elemental Blades, though in reality he had been in the Golden Mech at the time.
- Bo staves: Passively, the First Spinjitzu Master kept with him at least two staves, one containing the clues to his tomb that was passed to Wu, and another made of gold that was placed in his tomb's second test.
- Dragon Armor: The First Spinjitzu Master was the co-creator and wearer of the fabled Dragon Armor.
- Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu: The Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu were crafted by the First Spinjitzu Master, with the intention of augmenting the any kind of power of those who possess them. Nevertheless, the scrolls come at a price, gradually corrupting those of pure intent over time. However, the user can resist the adverse effects through sheer willpower.
Trivia[]
- Lloyd Garmadon did not know his grandfather (due to him dying before Lloyd was born) until the 10th season, where he met him, took him to an unknown place, brought him to that place to thank him for saving Ninjago again.
- The First Spinjitzu Master can be considered the most mysterious character in the Ninjago universe, with many secrets that Tommy Andreasen has yet to reveal in any detailed manner and only ambiguously on Twitter.
- Although he was stated to have "died" and his corpse was shown on his tomb, Tommy Andreasen admitted the First Spinjitzu Master might have only left his vessel in Ninjago and that he is "gone but not necessarily dead". He also stated the First Spinjitzu Master is most likely not in the Departed Realm, suggesting only his physical body perished and his spirit is still intact and conscious and he is simply watching over his creations without intervening himself.
- His name has yet to be revealed and not even Garmadon or Wu have ever referred to their father by his name, neither did Mystake, who has known him even longer than his sons.
- His "human" form is said to not be his true form, with Tommy Andreasen stating that as a god-like being, it is likely not his actual form, suggesting he shapeshifted into a human.
- He has never been shown to fight but is confirmed to be the most powerful character in the entire series by Tommy Andreasen and is widely believed by all fans to be such.
- In Seabound, it's revealed that the First Spinjitzu Master did not inherit the power of Water and Wind, as the Wind Dragon had possession over it, and the First Spinjitzu Master was seemingly born with all the elemental powers of the dragons. However, it's possible that the First Spinjitzu Master didn't have complete control over both Water and Wind elements as the sea serpent Wojira did or Wojira's power was so powerful that she can override his own Water and Wind power. However, this is still unknown.
