Zane, I was once just a Nindroid. A machine. And then, long ago, in a different battle, you gave up your power source to save me. In that moment, you changed me. I felt things… I never felt before. I felt… love. For you.
~ P.I.X.A.L. confessing her love for Zane in the episode "Compatible".

P.I.X.A.L. (also known as Primary Interactive X-ternal Assistant Life-form) is a major character in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. She is a female android created by Cyrus Borg to serve as his assistant but quickly falls in love with Zane upon meeting him and joins the ninja to assist them in protecting Ninjago, later becoming the next Samurai X following Nya’s ascension into a Water Ninja.

She was voiced by Jennifer Hayward, while her masked voice as Samurai X was provided by Michael Donavon. In the LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids handheld game she was voiced by Karen Strassman.

History[]

P.I.X.A.L. is a female Nindroid created by Cyrus Borg to serve as his assistant. She is Zane's girlfriend. During the Nindroid crisis, she was briefly under the control of the Overlord and turned on her friends but soon became a vital ally to the ninja after being redeemed by Zane. She and Zane formed a close relationship until he sacrificed himself to defeat the Overlord. P.I.X.A.L. found out he survived and set off to save him from a mysterious island. While there, she was captured by Chen's cultists, and her body was scrapped, though her consciousness lived on in Zane's processor after Zane placed her hard drive inside his head.

For some time, P.I.X.A.L. guided Zane as an A.I. program in his head. When Nadakhan arrived in Ninjago and tormented the ninja, he deceived Zane into letting him erase P.I.X.A.L.'s consciousness—though due to Jay's final wish, this was undone. Later, P.I.X.A.L. left Zane’s head and gained a physical body, similar to how Zane had done. She took on the alias of Samurai X, a role once played by Nya, so she could adopt a more physical role in the ninja's missions. P.I.X.A.L. helped battle the Vermillion and later the Sons of Garmadon, and she helped Lloyd and Nya to resist Lord Garmadon's oppressive hold of Ninjago City.

Unfortunately, P.I.X.A.L. was captured along with the majority of the Resistance after an ambush by Garmadon's forces, but her actions allowed Lloyd and the others to continue in their endeavors. Eventually, she got word that the ninja returned and broke out while joining the others in toppling the Colossus with the heroes. Later on, the people of Ninjago threw a party to celebrate the end of Lord Garmadon's rule, as P.I.X.A.L. is honored for her role in saving the city as well.

When the Oni invade Ninjago, P.I.X.A.L. alone, in her Samurai X Mech goes into the darkness to rescue Lloyd and Garmadon after they acquire the Golden Armor. She later defends the civilians at the Monastery when the Oni arrive. She rescued Lloyd and Garmadon before helping her comrades to defeat the Oni.

Months later, Zane ends up banished to the Never-Realm by Aspheera, leaving her heartbroken, believing he was dead until told otherwise before assisting the ninja in transporting them to the Never-Realm while she stayed behind with Master Wu. During the wait, she arrests the Mechanic, Ultra Violet, and Fugi-Dove, who attempted to escape Kryptarium Prison. She also defeats a revived Preeminent after inadvertently releasing it from the Departed Realm. Days later, the ninja returned with Zane, and she immediately embraces her love.

While the ninja (excluding Zane) are in Prime Empire, she and Zane embark on a search to find Milton Dyer. They succeed, leading to the eventual release and revival of the trapped Ninjago City gamers, the game's NPCs, and the ninja.

After Wu and Misako go missing on the Island of the Keepers, she travels with the ninja and Twitchy Tim until the Destiny's Bounty couldn't go any further through the storm belt.

After Nya's powers started failing, P.I.X.A.L., Nya, Zane, Jay, Maya and Lloyd used the Hydro Bounty to travel into the ocean where Maya and Nya discovered that Kalmaar was trying to awaken Wojira. The team traveled to the Island of the Keepers, to get the Storm Amulet before Kalmaar, but Clutch Powers had stolen it. Kalmaar then destroyed the controls of the Hydro Bounty and they traveled back to Ninjago being pulled by whales. P.I.X.A.L. fought Wojira when she was awakened in the Destiny's Bounty and was at Nya's memorial after she became one with the sea.

A year after Nya's departure, Pixal helped the Ninja in their plan to bring back her to her human form. Later when the Council of the Crystal King attacked the Monastery, Pixal confronted them until they lost the fight and were saved by MiniPix Seven. Later during the invasion of Overlord she participated to The Resistance with the Ninja and all the allies after she saved Zane from his coma.

Several weeks after the Overlord's defeat, Pixal helped Zane in his quest to bring back his powers. At some point, following a cataclysmic event known as The Merge, P.I.X.A.L disappeared and her current whereabouts, status, and fate are unknown.

Personality[]

P.I.X.A.L. was originally shown to be quite emotionless and impassive and had only her duties to Cyrus Borg as her primary concern. Things like duty, honor, and compassion at first meant nothing to her, but throughout her adventures with the ninja, and her interactions with Zane, she developed immensely as a person. P.I.X.A.L. originally had no interest in others besides a basic curiosity and desire to learn, but after meeting with Zane, her behavior changed. When she was pondering on helping the ninja to shut off power, she quickly ignored any doubts or reasons in it to save. When she was shut down and given part of Zane's power, she slowly became more human and her emotions soon surfaced, showing that she was capable of exemplary bravery, compassion, humor, and friendship.

Her most human traits were shown primarily around Zane, an android like her, who taught her to embrace her hidden humanity and subsequently know things like deep love, civic duty, friendship, but also loss and heartache. This was shown as she was deeply shocked after Zane's apparent death and sacrificing of his original body to defeat the Overlord; she had been affected more than anyone by his death to the point where she avoided his memorial in her inability to accept his passing but was overjoyed by discovering his resurrection. She also developed a deep faith in Zane and his strength of character, showing a profound level of emotional intimacy and devotion to her love. Although she is a good fighter, she prefers peaceful ways to end the fighting, as she asked the Preeminent and the octopus to stop their activities, rather than being forced to defeat them by force.

After adopting the Samurai X persona, P.I.X.A.L. hid the fact that she had a new body and was protecting people to have her own identity. As she told Zane, she would have preferred to have her own body and not be part of the computer, but she asked him if he agreed, as she really wanted to be a useful member of the team. Following her reunion with Zane, she was very happy and they embraced in their reunion.

Abilities & Weapons[]

Abilities[]

  • Skilled combatant - Although originally P.I.X.A.L. could not fight, when she gained Zane's power source, her fighting skills increased.

  • Spinjitzu (formerly) -After Zane gave her the half of his source, she was able to use Spinjitzu with Zane. However, she does not know how to use it after rebuilding her body, because no one has taught her that.

  • Voice replication - As a nindroid, P.I.X.A.L. can replicate anyone's voice whether they are alive or dead.
  • Mechanical skills: P.I.X.A.L. is a skilled mechanic and inventor. She built the majority of the vehicles of the ninja and of the team since the Oni's invasion.

Weapons[]

  • Grapple hook - Inside her original body's arm, she had a grapple hook.
  • Katana - P.I.X.A.L.'s primary weapon is a katana. Since she became Samurai X she use two of her personal golden katana.

  • Harpoon gun - Another weapon P.I.X.A.L. uses regularly is a harpoon gun.
  • Trident (briefly) - When the ninja were fighting Wojira, P.I.X.A.L. used briefly a trident against the Merlopians.
