While on the hunt to recover Zane, Jay encounters Bonzle, only for Sprite to ambush him and attempt to get him to recover his memories, only enough to recover his powers before it attempted to continue as he tries to resist. Jay would later be recruited by Ras to join the Wolf Clan and participate in the Tournament of the Sources as part of his master plan. During the tournament, Jay, powered by Shatterspin, found himself pitted against Nya, whom he dosen't Recognize due to his memory loss.

Biography[]
He met Master Wu while testing his glider and learned Spinjitzu under his tutorship. In Wu's monastery, he met his other teammates - Kai, Zane and Cole, with whom he embarked on many adventures, battling the likes of the Serpentine and the Stone Army. During this time, Jay formed a romantic relationship with Kai's sister, Nya.
After Lloyd defeated the Overlord, peace resumed until The Overlord returned and created an army of Nindroids that were made from Zane's blueprints. A love triangle formed between Jay, Nya, and Cole, which remained after Zane seemingly died. The ninja parted ways after Zane's death, but upon learning of his survival, they journeyed to Chen's Island and entered the Tournament of Elements. Cole made amends with Jay over his relationship with Nya, and the ninja and Elemental Masters fought the Anacondrai warriors. Soon after, Jay would help the ninja battle Morro and a legion of cursed spirits while learning another martial art called Airjitzu, and they were then faced with Nadakhan, who trapped many of the ninja in his sword. Jay and Nya battled the Sky Pirates, but when Nya was poisoned by the Tiger Widow venom and killed, Jay used his last wish to undo the recent events.
On the Day of the Departed, Jay and his parents were attacked by a revived Samukai, who Jay defeated with help from Ronin. Jay joined his allies in battling the Time Twins and the Vermillion, as well as seeking the powerful Time Blades. Though their enemies were defeated, Wu was lost in the Temporal vortex.
A year later, Jay helped battle a notorious gang that resurrected Lord Garmadon and was ultimately stranded in an Realm of Oni and Dragons with the other original ninja and Wu.
During their first week being stranded in the realm, Jay temporarily loses his sanity and ends up being captured by the Dragon Hunters along with Kai and Zane. After hearing Lloyd's voice on a radio, Jay regains his state of mind and devises a plan to free Zane, Kai, and himself from the Dragon Hunters, and designs a Firstbourne Mech to provide a distraction. They manage to escape with Cole and a growing Wu's assistance before meeting a Hunter named Faith who tells them about the Dragon Armor and they immediately head for it. Wu manages to find the armor and becomes the Golden Dragon Master, and with the Firstbourne and some dragons, they return home to Ninjago to help the Resistance defeat Colossus, while at the same time, Jay reunites with Nya.
Shortly afterward, Jay decides it's time to ask Nya to be his Yang. He sought out advice from Kai but his plans get put on hold when the Oni invade Ninjago. During the final battle at the Monastery, he finally mustered up the courage to ask Nya, which she happily agrees to. After using the Tornado of Creation on the Oni, Jay joins his fellow ninja in the creation of the new mural.
Months later, Jay and his friends fight against Aspheera and her Pyro Vipers after accidentally releasing them from their tomb. After Zane is banished by Aspheera's sorcery, he and the remaining ninja send themselves to the Never-Realm in order to rescue him. While Lloyd went to find Zane, Jay and the others protected the Ice Fishers of Great Lake. The ninja fight Boreal the Ice Dragon, and discover that Zane is the Ice Emperor. With Zane having managed to return to his senses in a fight with Lloyd and freeing the Never-Realm from its eternal winter, the team reunites and use the berry Krag gave Cole to head back to their home realm.
Sometime later, Jay is the first of the ninja to enter the virtual world of Prime Empire, resulting in the legendary arcade game resurfacing and hundreds of gamers getting trapped in it. Jay becomes known as Superstar Rockin' Jay to the League of Jay. The ninja enter in search of the Key-Tanas and Unagami, thinking that finding him would solve the situation. But, by the time the ninja get the last Key-Tana, Jay and Nya are the only surviving ninja left in the game. The duo progresses but Nya gets cubed in the process, which makes Jay distraught and the only ninja left, so he moves on to follow Unagami through the completed Manifestation Gate into Ninjago. He and Milton Dyer successfully console Unagami into releasing the formerly trapped gamers, as well as everyone who was formerly cubed, including the ninja (Kai, Cole, Lloyd, and Nya).
Later, Jay and the rest of his friends were invited to Shintaro in honor of Princess Vania's birthday. Shortly after arriving, the Ninja were forced to split up inside the mountain the kingdom lied on when they were under the attack of the Skull Sorcerer. During his time with the Munce who lived in the Dungeons of Shintaro, Jay was caught in a love triangle between Nya and Murtessa, the Queen of the Munce. He and his friends convinced the Munce to work with the Geckles and vice versa to defeat the Skull Sorcerer. They were successful and they departed on search for another adventure.
The Ninja then traveled to an Island in search of Wu and Misako. It was there that they were captured by the Keepers and Jay was hailed as the "Gift of Jay". Initially thinking they wanted him to be their king, Jay was delighted until realizing they wanted to sacrifice him to the ancient water serpent, Wojira. Fortunately, it was just a fake built by Ronin to steal the islanders' fortune and Jay and the other Ninja found Wu and Misako and made amends with the Keepers.
After Nya's powers go haywire during an attempt to stop a bunch of criminals, Jay and a few of the others traveled under the Endless Sea to investigate what could be the source of the problem. During the adventure, Jay would continuously comfort Nya over her problems. When they realized that the problem behind Nya's powers was Kalmaar trying to awaken Wojira with fake Storm Amulets, the Ninja did everything in their power to stop him from getting the real one. Despite their efforts, Kalmaar managed to awaken Wojira and Jay was left in critical condition due to inhaling a large amount of water, causing him to suffer from dry-drowning. Nya then decides to merge with the sea to draw the water out of Jay and defeats Kalmaar and Wojira. She then says goodbye to her friends as she dives into the ocean. Most saddened by her fate, Jay falls into depression.
Several years after the Great Flood, Jay returned to the Ninja where they learned of Vengestone being moved around Ninjago. Jay and the others learn Nya can return if they stripped her of her powers so they broke Aspheera out of prison to do so. However by doing this Jay and the others became fugitives where they later learned the rise of the Crystal King.
Years after the Crystal King's defeat, Jay was lost in The Merge, a event that merged all the sixteen realms, and lost his memories of his identity and adventures with the Ninja. He landed in a place known as The Administration and became the Manager of Realm Reassigment. He was later recruited by Ras to joining the Wolf Clan where he participated in the Tournament of Sources where he fought against Nya, whom he dosen't remember. After loosing to her, Ras sent Jay away and Jay ended up being corrupted by Shatterspin.
Appearance[]
Prior to Season 8, Jay had short, straight, reddish-brown hair, with a notch on his right eyebrow. In addition, he was not shown to have freckles.
In Season 8-onward, Jay has curly, light brown hair, generally wearing blue clothing to represent his Elemental color. He has light brown eyebrows and light freckles.
Personality[]
While a refined warrior, Jay is the most light-hearted of the ninja. He often tells jokes although of most are only amusing to him as a coping-mechanism for fear and/or anxiety. While his fellow ninja are easily annoyed by his frequent boasting, Jay remains a good friend to his team-mates. He is also somewhat high-strung and will almost always be the first to panic as danger presents itself.
Jay is fond of inventing - as his favored color is blue he color-codes his inventions when possible. As Jay was raised in a junkyard he can not help but see the potential in even minor everyday objects other might dismiss as junk or overlook all together. During his crush on Nya it was not uncommon for Jay to nervously stutter when around her.
After being stranded in The realm of Oni and Dragon, Jay had an apparent mental breakdown. He seemed oddly not stressed about anything and the other ninja quickly realized he had lost his sanity. Since than he has apparently returned to normal as evidenced by him freaking out when fighting in the Dragon Hunter Arena which indicates his breakdown was simply temporary and caused by stress.
Powers and Abilities[]
Jay can harness the power of Lightning to create a Spinjitzu tornado of pure electricity. He can also seemingly fly with his powers as seen in the episode Day of the Great Devourer, although he hasn't used this ability ever since, as it seemed to be part of his True Potential abilities. His lightning powers were enhanced further by the Nunchucks of Lightning, and later by his Elemental Blade. In close-range combat, he favors nunchucks, but has used katanas and various improvised weapons on occasion.
Jay has an eye for machines and gadgets, being in charge of repairing and maintaining the various technology at the ninja's disposal. He was responsible for restoring the Destiny's Bounty to a functional state and equipping it with the modifications needed to make it fly. Over time, his inventing side was less emphasized, due to Nya and Dr. Julien taking up the role of gadgeteer, but Jay's skill with technology should not be underestimated. Prior to "Let's Dance," Jay obtained dancing skills from playing Dancy Pants. He is also able to play the guitar, as shown in Prime Empire.
