These are the relationships of the legendary Green Ninja, Lloyd.
Family[]
Garmadon[]
Lloyd and his father
Lloyd's father loved him very much since the day he was born. Lloyd idolized him and even dreamed of being just like his father by becoming a supervillain, but his father didn't want his son to be like him, instead, he wanted Lloyd to be his person. When Lloyd finds out he was the Green Ninja, he was sad that he had to face his father and vice versa. When Garmadon was purified of the evil in him, Lloyd was happy that he was finally reunited with his dad and the two used this as an opportunity to spend time with each other.
When dealing with the Overlord, Garmadon came to his son's aid with no hesitation telling Pythor who brought up his oath of not fighting that when he stole his son all promises were broken.
When Lloyd was about to go off to Chen's Island with his friends to find Zane, Garmadon tried to stop him but joined him on his journey. It was there that Lloyd learned some shocking details about his father's past, namely that Chen was his master and his father had signed a love letter written by his uncle which caused his mother to fall in love with him. Lloyd was surprised but persuaded his father to tell Wu and Misako about his past after he admitted his fear of losing them after he got both of them back in his life. Lloyd was also sad that his father turned into Anacondrai but the latter told him he was on his side no matter what and Lloyd was quick to stop Jay from attacking Garmadon after he mistook him for an Anacondrai warrior. Before the battle with Chen, Lloyd noticed Wu and Misako shunning Garmadon, asking if they knew about the letter as Garmadon sadly confirmed it. When fighting Chen's forces he was openly against the idea of having to banish his father to the Cursed Realm defeat Chen but relented and personally banished him to see him off though was sad at the outcome.
In "Curseworld, Part II," Lloyd was reunited with his father while traversing the Cursed Realm and attempted to free him but to no avail. Lloyd was distraught when he realized that to defeat the Preeminent he'd have to sacrifice his father who told him no matter what he'll always be a part of him. After the defeat of the Preeminent, Lloyd returned from the Cursed Realm and stated his father was in a better place. On "Day of the Departed," Lloyd and his mother pay their respects before Pythor attacked them and while fighting the Ancondrai, he realized that no matter what, Garmadon would always be there for him.
Lloyd battles against his reborn father once again
During Season 8: Sons of Garmadon, Lloyd learned that a criminal organization intended to resurrect his father but as his villainous self. This caused him to feel conflicted over seeing his father again but dealing with a threat to everyone.
When Lloyd saw his father resurrected as his villainous self, he was horrified but believed that his father was still in there deep down despite others telling him that he was gone. Lloyd left his friends and confronted his father, they fought and Garmadon showed no mercy to him, even stating he had no son.
In Season 9, Lloyd formed a resistance against him. In "Radio Free Ninjago," the two nearly came face to face again but Skylor hid his presence. It was seen in that episode that Lloyd was still haunted from his last fight with his father since it was the reason he lost his powers. Lloyd nearly lost his composure when making a broadcast but soon regained strength and personally challenged his father.
In "The Gilded Path," Lloyd encountered his father once more and was nearly killed by the Colossus. However, Lloyd pleaded to his father at not doing so and Garmadon relented, marking the first time he had shown hesitance after his revival. This reluctance allowed Lloyd to escape his grasp and stare at his father in confusion as to why he spared him.
During "Green Destiny," Lloyd confronted his father with Wu who had returned and they fought as Garmadon declared them as his enemies. Lloyd's pleas for him to come to his senses fall on deaf ears, as Garmadon has no intention of reforming. When on the brink of certain doom, Lloyd uses Garmadon's overconfidence and will to fight against him by baiting him into prolonging the battle. Lloyd soon suddenly realizes that if Garmadon was fueled by the fight then he must stop fighting to defeat him. He manages to resist his father long enough for the latter to lose his power and for Lloyd to regain his own. Showing mercy, Lloyd refused to strike Garmadon down permanently, instead insisting that the fight was over. Before going to prison, Garmadon warned Lloyd that now that he was powerless, there was nothing that could stop Ninjago from being overcome by the approaching darkness. Despite no longer trusting his father, Lloyd heeded his words about the darkness and feared the coming of the Oni.

In "The Darkness Comes," Lloyd heeds his father's call to Kryptarium Prison and he is once again reproached by his father for his lack of belief in the incoming darkness, which makes Lloyd more alarmed. He still refuses to let him out at first but still acknowledges Garmadon as his father. He later changes his mind and frees him.
In "Into the Breach," Lloyd is frustrated by how he has to "babysit" his father but puts up with him and cordially introduced him to the ninja's sleeping room. He looked sad when seeing the picture between him and his father and despite being furious when his father destroyed it, he still couldn't throw the picture away and returned it to its place gently and stared at it once again sadly. Although Lloyd continues to mistrust his father and refuses to allow him to go armed and without him, he ultimately decides to trust his father and they work together. Lloyd saw at one point a hope that his father was still there but was frustrated by how Garmadon denied it yet perplexed when Garmadon laughed truly.
In "The Fall," Lloyd and Garmadon fight side-by-side effectively against the Omega but they are both overwhelmed by the leader of the Oni and Garmadon admonished Lloyd for being able to defeat him but faring poorly against their enemy. Lloyd shared banter with his father upon destroying the Realm Crystal until learning to their horror that the Oni will still invade. Lloyd still follows his father's commands and they successfully escape the situation, but at the cost of Cole. Lloyd is furious at his father for his lack of care for Cole's death and walks off in anger.
In "Endings," Lloyd shows concern when Garmadon gets overpowered by the Omega and drags him to safety despite the danger to himself. Lloyd also trusted Garmadon to help them in conjuring the Tornado of Creation, stating that while Garmadon may not be a ninja, he is still as much of a part of Ninjago's history as the rest of them.
In "Crystastrophe," Lloyd and Wu track down newspaper clippings, and stumble upon Garmadon.
In "Christofern," Garmadon tells his tale of what he had been doing in the meantime, and Lloyd expresses a great deal of frustration with the way Master Wu was so calm and how his dad handled the situation. In the end, Lloyd and Wu see Garmadon's Oni Form.
In "A Lesson in Anger," Garmadon tries to teach Lloyd how to do the Oni Form in the Samurai X Cave, and comes across difficulty. He criticizes Lloyd's inability to do the Oni form, and Lloyd's repressed Destruction leaves him, much to his surprise. Garmadon then gets frustrated with Lloyd for repressing his Oni self. P.I.X.A.L. then enters the room and interrupts the lesson with good news, and ends the episode there.
In "Brave But Foolish," Lloyd once again is frustrated with his father for being negative, With Lloyd and Garmadon aboard the Destiny's Bounty try to move the Crystal Island from the city, and Wu confronts the Crystal King. Lloyd and Garmadon fight Dragonides on the Destiny's Bounty.
In "Distress Calls," Lloyd expresses his reason for not wanting to embrace his Oni heritage, due to being his biggest fear; becoming like his father. He lashes out at his father for not giving him the care he required at childhood such as his birthdays, abandonment. He even accused Garmadon for lacking compassion for others due to being an Oni. When Garmadon spared the infected Serpentine, Lloyd starts to regret what he said beforehand about compassion.
In "Roots," Lloyd was so heartbroken by his father's apparent murder that he unlocked his Oni Form and ragefully attacked the Overlord. He later discovered Garmadon deceived him and was appalled. During the monastery rebuild, Garmadon handed Lloyd a floorboard, which he appreciated, slowly regaining his respect for him.
Misako[]
Lloyd hugging his mother
Misako is Lloyd's mother. They care a lot about each other throughout the series. Lloyd did not know his mother when he was young but in Season 2, when he was reunited with Misako he was initially hostile towards her for her supposed abandoning of him. But after finding out her reason was to protect him and save his father, he ultimately forgave her and the two became closer in future seasons.
In Season 5, when Lloyd was possessed by Morro, Misako was desperate to get her son back stating she wasn't going to lose him just as she lost her husband. After Lloyd was freed of his possession, Misako was happy to have her son back and consoled him after the defeat of the Preeminent which led to his father's demise.
While fighting Nadakhan, Lloyd was sad at the thought of his mother being one of the Djinn's victims. On the Day of the Departed, Lloyd and his mother paid their respect to Garmadon and Lloyd defended his mother from Pythor when he attacked them.
During Season 8: Sons of Garmadon, Lloyd mentioned his mother going off on her own to find Wu but he didn't know where she was and seemed worried for her.
They were reunited in "Dread on Arrival" and Lloyd discovered Misako had found Wu before she was captured by the Sons of Garmadon. He was very angry at seeing her situation and wanted her released before the ritual took place.
Afterwards, in Big Trouble, Little Ninjago, Lloyd confronted Garmadon at Kryptarium Prison. Garmadon defeated Lloyd, weakning him, and temporarily making him lose control of his powers.
Wu[]
Lloyd and his uncle Wu
Wu is Lloyd's paternal uncle and Master. Lloyd and the other ninja care about Master Wu greatly and are glad to have him as their teacher. Wu looked after Lloyd when he was little, and Lloyd loves and respects Wu as his uncle and Master.
During Season 7, Lloyd and his friends came to Wu's aid when he fought Acronix and was distraught as Wu was wounded by the villain. In "Scavengers," Lloyd was sad that he might have failed his uncle when he needed help fighting Acronix, and Lloyd wanted to make sure he doesn't fail him again, so he looked after him when he was injured and continued to work harder in his training to become a master. When Lloyd infiltrated the Time Twins' base, he went out of his way to save the captive Wu but lost him to the Vermillion. When Wu was lost in time with the Time Twins, the ninja made Lloyd their master and he said his first order as their master was to get rid of the time blade and find out where Wu was.
During Season 8, he was unknowingly reunited with his uncle when he came back as a baby. Lloyd was unaware of this until Harumi betrayed him and revealed this fact to him, and he couldn't believe his uncle was the infant the whole time.
After he was reunited with his friends, Lloyd spent more time with Wu and wondered when he would return to normal.
When Garmadon attacked the city, Lloyd protected his infant uncle from harm and refused to let Harumi take him.
In the Season 8 finale, Lloyd was under the impression that his uncle was dead and unaware he was in another realm. In "Firstbourne," Lloyd was still sad at losing his uncle and was unable to focus on his training. However, he learned that he had been instead teleported to somewhere after he and the others found a piece of a leaf for Traveler's Tea. During "Iron & Stone," Lloyd was informed that his uncle was sent to the Realm of Oni and Dragons.

In "Green Destiny," Lloyd was reunited with his uncle and was amazed that he is almost back to normal and surprised at his new armor. Wu also assured Lloyd that while he may not have power, he would still fight beside him against Garmadon, making Lloyd happy. Wu helped his student in fighting his father before he was forced out of the fight. Wu was later happy to see Lloyd has regained his powers and defeated Garmadon in battle. In the end, Lloyd was happy that his uncle had returned to normal and they celebrated saving the city. Wu also acknowledged Lloyd as a Master and gave him some advice about the perfection of the world and how they mustn't give up before discussing an impending danger.
During Season 11, Lloyd briefly fought his uncle to claim the Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu to reach Zane after he was banished to the Never-Realm. It is unknown what his reaction was to Lloyd returning, but it appears to be reasonable. During Season 13, Lloyd tried to get Wu out of his funk of feeling his age before they were invited to Shintaro, where during their time battling Vangelis, Wu started to become renewed.
When the Ninja broke Aspheera out of Kryptarium to free Nya from the Endless Sea, Wu was completely against it that he held no pity on them when they were incarcerated, until their escape and search for the Crystal King that led them to Garmadon and Wu telling Lloyd to unlock his Oni Form.
When Wu started to become concerned about a coalescence, he had Lloyd gather many scrolls about it before hoping he does a better job as master before the coalescence occurred, merging all the realms, and Wu ended up and remains missing.
Years later, Lloyd attempted to copy Wu's ways in teaching the next generation of ninja. He even tried to mimic his uncle's method for keeping time. When times were filled with chaos, Lloyd looked back on Wu's advice about finding peace within himself despite the chaos outside.
First Spinjitzu Master[]
- “You're the First Spinjitzu Master.”
- “No, no, please—no kneeling. You have done so much for Ninjago. If anyone should kneel, it should be I.”
| — Lloyd and the First Spinjitzu Master, "Endings" |
Lloyd with his grandfather, the First Spinjitzu Master.
The First Spinjitzu Master is Lloyd's grandfather, who died long before he was born. Though he never met him, Lloyd respected him for his great skill. During Season 8, he discovered that he was partially Oni and Dragon because of him.
In Season 10, after Lloyd, the ninja, his father, and uncle form the Tornado of Creation to defeat the Oni, he appeared in an unknown place and finally meets his grandfather. Lloyd knelt before him in respect and awe, to which the First Spinjitzu Master helped him to his feet and said there was no need for kneeling. The Master was very grateful to Lloyd for helping to defeat the Oni, and for all that he's done for the world he created. He gave Lloyd the choice to either return to Ninjago and forget their meeting ever happened, or go with him to somewhere he will be happy. The two appeared to nearly touch hands, but then Lloyd awoke in Ninjago.
Love Interests[]
Harumi[]
Lloyd with Harumi
Lloyd developed an interest in Princess Harumi in Season 8. When he first saw her, Lloyd was amazed by her appearance which earned him teasing from his teammates to his dismay. Later on, he got acquainted with her and they bonded to the extent where Lloyd could call her "Rumi" instead of "princess". They also saw they had similar backgrounds and having a destiny they didn't want to be laid out for them.
Harumi holding Lloyd’s arm in the Bounty
The two also stood next to each other when they were in the same room, and often made physical contact (Lloyd was often seen with his arm around Harumi, and Harumi was often seen holding onto Lloyd's arm). The two were also often seen smiling more when in each other's presence.
In "Dead Man's Squall," they were talking about their parents on the Bounty, and they told each other that they weren't alone and that they would always be there for the other. They had almost kissed in this episode before Lloyd made an excuse and left. Later in the episode, they helped save each other.
After he realized she is the Quiet One, he felt betrayed as she played on his emotions by deriding him for not being a proper savior, as well as telling him that his uncle was the infant the ninja have. Harumi fought Lloyd and stated in the fight that she wanted to resurrect Lloyd's father so she could watch Garmadon destroy him.
Harumi mocks a heartbroken Lloyd.
In "Dread on Arrival," she had him imprisoned as well as his abducted mother. After Lloyd told her that their conflict was between them, she coldly told him there was never anything between them, leaving him heartbroken. Harumi further threw hurtful words at Lloyd as she gloated over his helpless predicament, as he was shocked by her true persona. After the ninja came to his rescue and interrupted the ceremony, Lloyd watched as Harumi and her followers were arrested. He felt guilty that the events happened because he trusted Harumi and swore not to put too much trust in anyone again.
Lloyd pays her back for her betrayal
As Harumi was put in the back of a transport van, Lloyd stopped to speak with her. She tried to manipulate Lloyd again, telling him that he was right that this wasn't her. Enlightened by her betrayal, he immediately saw through the lie, and told her to stop, using her previous words against her. Enraged, she tried to charge at him, but he coldly closed the doors on her, to her shock. Lloyd then watched as she was driven away with a serious look on his face.
They met again when Garmadon attacked the city, she confronted him and he told her actions were no different from the Great Devourer attack but she ignored him and chased him as he escaped with Wu. Unlike before, she offered him a chance to join her organization but he refused her offer and the two fought for a while although Lloyd seemed reluctant to hit her and instead twisted her arms behind her back until he managed to get away, much to her fury. Harumi held Lloyd by the throat and made him watch as the ninja were "killed" by the Colossus but this time she didn't try to kill him (even though she had the chance). Instead, she put him down on the top of the tram carefully, which suggests that she was satisfied with him living with the despair of losing those close to him, as she had felt happened to her when her parents passed. However, she was angry by his escape and screamed in fury.
In "Firstbourne," when she reported to Garmadon that Lloyd still hadn't been caught, she was opposed to his plan to use Colossus to draw him out and suggested sending Mr. E instead.
During "Radio Free Ninjago," when Lloyd made his speech to Ninjago of rebelling, Harumi was angry to see him again and tried using a recording of his loss against his father to stop him. Her attempts had nearly succeeded but he overcame it and continued speaking. She and Killow barged in, only to find them gone. She was furious at his escape but realized the location of their base after seeing garbage trucks drive away.
During "How to Build a Dragon," Harumi was nearly killed by Garmadon but saved herself by revealing the location of Lloyd and the resistance.
In "The Gilded Path," Lloyd faced her again and he was shocked to see Harumi before she overwhelmed him in battle but he was saved by his friends and escaped her grasp.
In "Two Lies, One Truth" they met him again while she was confident in defeating him, she was dismayed to see he had tricked her and she ended up captured by Lloyd and the rest of the resistance.
During "Saving Faith," Lloyd witnessed her trying to escape the Colossus and they shared a gaze at each other. Lloyd looked on in pity and faintly said her name as the building she was on collapsed.
In "Stop, Drop and Side Scroll", it's revealed that Lloyd harbored guilt for not being able to save Harumi from her death, as her avatar stated.
Lloyd said that "the real Harumi would've remembered" their first time alone together where they gave food to the poor unlike Avatar Harumi, which shows that he realized that Avatar Harumi was a fake, as she lacked the intimate memories no one else would have known about.
However in "The Council of the Crystal King" when Lloyd disguised himself as the Mechanic to infiltrate the council to learn their plans, he was almost immediately exposed and beaten down by Pythor, Aspheera, Mister F, and Vangelis. As he recovered, he became horrified and shocked when the Kabuki Masked person is revealed to be the real Harumi before he blacks out.
During their discussion, Lloyd revealed that in spite of her apparently never truly having feelings for him, he did have genuine feelings for Harumi. He even explained that he searched for Harumi following the defeat of the Colossus. He stated that he searched for her through the rubble with his bare hands. He later tried to reason with Harumi, saying he knew Harumi wouldn't want any innocent people get hurt.
After Harumi seemingly killed his friends, he felt angry with her, thus refusing to join her and her council. He even said that he would make her pay for her actions. Despite this, Lloyd still cared very much about her. He tried to convince Harumi to do the right thing and join the right side on multiple occasions. He even noticed her doubt and hesitation in some of her decisions, thus continuing to see the good inside of her, in spite of being enemies.
Lloyd and Harumi in Roots
Lloyd and Harumi's relationship would change forever in "Dragon Form." Upon learning that the Overlord was the one who corrupted the Great Devourer, Harumi realized that Lloyd and the ninja were never the ones to blame for her parents' death. Harumi joined Garmadon and Lloyd in the fight against the Overlord and, although not shown, Lloyd was happy to see the goodness inside Harumi finally shine through.
Lloyd and Harumi waving at each other in the monastery
Lloyd and Harumi officially, but indirectly, reconcile in "Roots." When the Golden Ultra Dragon appeared to fight the Overlord, Lloyd instructed Harumi to seek cover. Harumi listened to Lloyd and eventually came out and asked if Lloyd is okay after the battle. With the Crystal Temple collapsing, Lloyd indirectly made up for failing to find Harumi after her death in "Saving Faith" by bringing her aboard the Golden Ultra Dragon and flying her to safety with him and Garmadon. Lloyd also explained that Harumi switched sides during the battle to the other ninja. Lloyd and Harumi's repaired relationship was shown while the ninja built the Monastery as Harumi smiled at Lloyd who also smiled back.
Students[]
Arin[]
- “I lost my parents in the Merge. I guess I've been trying to find a new family ever since.”
- “And you have, Arin. You, Sora, Riyu, and Wyldfyre. One thing I know about family is that it's just like being a ninja. There's always room to grow.”
| — Arin and Lloyd, "The Battle of the Second Monastery" |

Lloyd comforting Arin
Arin is one of Lloyd's first two students, as well as his idol. They first met during the Merge, when Arin was caught in the storm caused by it and Lloyd came to his rescue before bringing him to safety, promising him he'll find his parents. When the ninja were presumed lost afterward, Arin found Lloyd's mask, which he started to wear. They reunite, several years later, when the latter rescues him and Sora from the Claws of Imperium, and was amazed how he thought Arin was a ninja, due to him wearing his old mask and knew Spinjitzu. Arin believed his return was fate and that he was meant to train him and Sora. Thought doubtful at first, Lloyd was encouraged and complimented by the Dragon Matriarch. After their mission in Imperium, Arin started to doubt his place in the team as Lloyd's fellow ninja were coming back before Lloyd cheered him up and told him they were his new family, even giving him his old mask back. While searching for the Pink Dragon Core, Lloyd attempted to train Arin on how to control the latter's Object Spinjitzu after being intrigued by it when he used it the first time against Dorama's puppet.
Sora[]
- “I knew the Elemental Power was yours this whole time.”
- “You were right. I thought I needed Riyu.”
| — Lloyd and Sora after the latter achieved her True Potential, "The Power Within" |
Lloyd and Sora
Sora is one of Lloyd's first two students. While she kept doubting at having the Power of Technology as she first got it from Riyu, Lloyd kept trying to tell her she has it and that Riyu "soups" it up. During their mission in Imperium to disable the Photacs, an old invention of hers, Lloyd started to question Sora's loyalty upon discovering she had tuned several more, until she turned up with a dragon that was her namesake and revealed she built a component to disassemble them, he started to trust her again. Lloyd was proud when Sora achieved her True Potential after Beatrix nearly sent him and Arin in a MergeQuake rift.
Friends[]
Brad Tudabone[]
- “It worked, Lloyd! You did it!”
- “No, we did it.”
| — Brad and Lloyd, Double Trouble |
Brad talking to Lloyd
Brad was a good friend of Lloyd's when he attended Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys. Their friendship started rough, due to Brad putting fire ants in Lloyd's bed. They became friends when Brad claimed to have been just showing Lloyd how things work, and Brad began teaching Lloyd "the art of revenge" in secret.
In Season 2 in "Double Trouble," Brad, along with his classmates, tried to turn Lloyd evil again. Their plan failed when Lloyd revealed Brad's true nature, which resulted in Brad's confession of his support for the ninja as they had saved him when the evil ninja had captured him. The other kids soon followed suit, joining Lloyd's side. He then decided to help Lloyd fight the evil ninja.
Gene[]
Gene and Lloyd
Not much is known about the relationship between Gene and Lloyd except they were classmates at Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys.
In "Double Trouble", Gene and his classmates came up with the idea to try and turn Lloyd back into a villain. They failed when Brad released Lloyd after expressing his eagerness to return the kindness the ninja showed him. Although reluctant, he helped Lloyd in sewing the gis and fighting the ninja clones.
Lloyd holds some respect for Gene, as he was elated upon seeing that Gene's theory was correct during the fight.
Kai[]
Lloyd and Kai
Kai and Lloyd are best and close friends throughout the series though Kai was jealous that Lloyd was picked as the Green Ninja instead of him. Luckily, this did not hinder their friendship. Kai acts as a brother-figure to Lloyd as he looks out for the latter whenever he has doubts. The two have a strong connection that makes them like a family.
In Season 4, Lloyd tried to reenlist Kai as a ninja and told him that he shouldn't dwell on not being a ninja. He was also worried when Kai supposedly turned on him but was relieved it was an act. When Lloyd's father was banished to the Cursed Realm to defeat Chen, Kai made a promise to look after Lloyd when he was sad about the loss of his father.
In Season 5, after Lloyd was possessed by Morro, Kai was the most determined out of all the ninja to get his best friend back, even going far as to give up the Realm Crystal and leaped into the water (despite his fear and inability to swim) to save Lloyd from drowning. He was relieved to have his friend back and comforted Lloyd when he was upset about dropping his guard by telling them they would defeat any threat. Kai's words proved true as the ninja were able to save the city of Stiix and defeat the Preeminent and her army of ghosts.
In Season 7, he and the other ninja decided to make Lloyd their master after Wu was lost in time with the Time Twins.
In the Season 8 finale, Lloyd was devastated and depressed that his best friend seemingly died, but was unaware that Kai actually was in another realm.
In "Firstbourne," Lloyd was still sad at losing his friend and was unable to focus on his training. However, he learned that he had been instead teleported to somewhere after he and the others found a piece of a leaf for Traveler's Tea.
During "Iron & Stone," Lloyd was informed that his friend had been sent to the Realm of Oni and Dragons.
In "Green Destiny," Lloyd was reunited with his friend and hugged after he had returned. Lloyd then gladly fought off the Sons of Garmadon with his aid. Kai was happy to see Lloyd defeat his father and regain his powers as a result.
When the Merge occurred and Kai returned to the monastery, Lloyd dove head first to attack, only to stand down when he saw it was Kai, relieving him. The two were happy to see each other and hugged. After shutting a MergeQuake rift, Lloyd sent Kai to map out the merged realms and find the others, until they reunite at the Kingdom of Madness, and the latter assumed he was babysitting Arin and Sora, unaware that they were his students.
Jay[]
Lloyd and Jay
Jay and Lloyd are good friends throughout the series. They don't interact much, but as the series goes on, they grow closer and show that they really care about each other. In Season 5, when Lloyd was possessed by Morro, Jay, and others would have done anything to rescue him from Morro's clutches. At the end of Season 7, Jay was the first ninja to decide Lloyd should be their master after Wu was lost in time with the Time Twins.
In "Game of Masks", it was shown that Lloyd trusted Jay enough to accuse Harumi of being the Quiet One, as Harumi knew of Lloyd's Oni heritage, which she could only know if Jay had told her or if she was the Quiet One.

Lloyd and Zane
Zane and Lloyd have been good friends throughout the series. Lloyd and the other ninja have shown to really care about Zane, as they missed him when he sacrificed himself to defeat the Overlord.
In Season 4, when the team broke up Lloyd attempted to bring them back together by enlisting a new member which was met with a negative response. However, this stopped when they found out Zane was still alive, they decided to go searching for him. Lloyd stated the decision was to find a member of his family to Garmadon who tried to stop him from going to Chen's Island, another show of his care for Zane. After reuniting with Zane, Lloyd was happy to see his friend telling him it was good to have him back on the team.
In return, Zane also cares about Lloyd, as when Lloyd was possessed by Morro in the fifth season, Zane and the other ninja did everything they could to rescue him from Morro. When Lloyd was released from Morro's grasp, they were elated to have their friend back and fought against the ghosts emerging victorious.

In "A Fragile Hope," Lloyd tries to get Zane to remember who he is, unaware that his memories were erased and was shocked to hear that he was in the realm for decades, so Zane doesn't remember him. However, Zane did appear interested in Lloyd's stories and had the latter imprisoned instead of executed as Vex desired. Lloyd was attacked by him when he attempted to take the staff from him. He then ordered Vex to have him thrown in the dungeon. Despite this, Lloyd had faith that he could get through to him and he will see Vex for the liar he is.
In "Awakenings," the two confront each other again with Lloyd determined to reach Zane. He stopped Akita from trying to kill Zane before they fight.

Lloyd and Nya
Nya and Lloyd are good friends throughout the series. There wasn't much interaction between them in the first few seasons, but they did care for each other.
In Season 5, when Lloyd was possessed by Morro, Nya wanted to help save Lloyd from Morro's possession which caused her to train harder in becoming the Water Ninja. Due to his possession, Lloyd had not seen Nya become the Water Ninja, but when Lloyd was freed he was happy to see her as the new addition to the team. Nya was also relieved that Lloyd was freed from the ghost.
After his return to the team, Lloyd and Nya worked to stop Morro and his forces from taking over Stiix. Lloyd congratulated Nya when she unlocked her True Potential and destroyed the Preeminent (even though she also destroyed his father along with it) to protect Stiix.
In Season 8: Sons of Garmadon, she was still a good friend to him and even offered him advice on approaching Harumi after the others gave bad advice. When he was defeated by his resurrected father Lord Garmadon, Nya gave him some of her power for him to recover after his fight with his resurrected father. She was also the only ninja who had stayed with him while the others had gone after Colossus.
After Lloyd saw the other ninja "die," they formed The Resistance in Season 9: Hunted to defeat the Sons of Garmadon, Lord Garmadon, and Harumi. Being the only two ninja left (the others being in another realm, unbeknownst to them), it was during this time that the two truly became close friends. In the end, Nya was happy to see Lloyd defeat his father and regain his powers.
When Nya merged with the ocean to defeat Wojira, Lloyd grew devastated and was later seen at her memorial to pay his final words. A year later, Lloyd led the Ninja to break Aspheera out to free Nya, even if it led to their incarceration.
Several years after the Merge, Lloyd reunited with Nya when she attacked him and his students for helping the Earth Dragons, until it was easily settled.
Wyldfyre[]
Wyldfyre faces Lloyd
Wyldfyre is Kai's student. Lloyd first met her upon freeing her from the Imperium Prison, mistaking her for Kai before she attacked him, due to his Imperian disguise, and he kept trying to reason with her until he saved her from getting hit by Imperium Guards and they worked to save her guardian, Heatwave, which he didn't realize was her family, until she told him. After escaping, Wyldfyre and Heatwave decided to stay in the monastery, but Wyldfyre preferred to stay with Heatwave in the dragon stable, as well as object to having Kai train her, which nearly set the monastery's recreation room on fire, until the two settled their differences during the Dragon Core hunt.
Dareth[]
Lloyd and Dareth
Lloyd and Dareth get along fine, even though he is put off by the latter's attempts to show off. Dareth has helped Lloyd and the ninja by providing shelter from the resurrected Garmadon and providing assistance in the resistance.
While Lloyd sees him as a good friend, he can still be annoyed by his antics but sees he's only trying his best and cuts him slack. This was seen in "Green Destiny" where Lloyd was encouraged by Dareth's words to keep fighting.
Skylor[]
Skylor was at first an enemy to Lloyd due to her being on Chen's side. When Skylor betrayed her father, Lloyd started to see Skylor as a friend.
During Season 9, Skylor helped Lloyd and his group and saved them from the Sons of Garmadon. Skylor also encouraged Lloyd when he was feeling down after the loss of his powers. Lloyd also helped Skylor discover a new trick with her elemental power by combining elements
Skylor then saved Lloyd from the Sons of Garmadon, during the ambush before Lloyd had saved Skylor. Skylor was the last of the resistance to stay by Lloyd's side (besides Dareth). After the defeat of Emperor Garmadon, Skylor then cheered for Lloyd.
In "A Mayor Problem," it was revealed that Skylor and Lloyd kept in touch and Lloyd had Skylor's number the whole time. Indicating that they stayed friends after Hunted.
The Resistance[]
Lloyd was already acquainted with the Elemental Masters from the time they had helped stop Chen's forces. In Season 9, he was happy to see them again after they had saved him from the Sons of Garmadon. He was quick to ally with them in fighting Garmadon's forces and got along with them very well. During the ambush, Lloyd wanted to save the masters but Nya told them they had to prioritize his safety and he agreed, though he was clearly worried for them as he was devastated to hear they were captured.
After the ninja returned, Lloyd was happy to see the resistance had broken out and were helping them fight Garmadon.
Kataru[]
Lloyd and Kataru
During "The Last of the Formlings," Lloyd learned of him from Akita and of his supposed fate by the ice dragon Boreal.
In "A Fragile Hope," while in the dungeon, Lloyd meets Kataru, realizing he’s Akita's brother whom she thought was dead and vice versa, in the Ice Emperor's dungeon. Lloyd reassured him that his sister is still alive, to the latter's relief. Very soon, the pair are liberated by Grimfax and allied to overthrow Vex and his master.
During “Awakenings”, Kataru and Grimfax create a diversion for Lloyd to reach Zane, who soon recovered his memories and destroyed his scepter. Shortly after the ninja left, Kataru believes he wouldn't see him again and tries to cheer his sad sister up.
Akita[]
Lloyd meets Akita after defending him from the Frost Wolves that attacked him, then saves Lloyd again from an avalanche that he created to defeat the Blizzard Samurai, she in her wolf form, decides to help him find the Titan Mech, during the search he tells her about his father and then names her as "Red."
After finding out that she is a Formling, he was shocked to learn this and was angry at her deception. In return, Akita said she didn't know if Lloyd could be trusted, though she was angry at Lloyd for his droning on about his life story with his father and Harumi when he didn't know she would understand everything he said about. They reconciled when Lloyd advises her not to run with her broken leg, and Akita told him why she's after the Ice Emperor, and the two team-up.
Even though their goals differ, Akita might've had empathy for Lloyd when she asks him what he'll do after saving Zane.
Akita kisses Lloyd goodbye
In "Awakenings," they almost come into conflict when she learns the Ice Emperor is really the friend he's been searching for. Despite that, they remain protective of the other as Lloyd saved her from attacks and she voiced worry for him until she was frozen, to his dismay. After Zane regained his memory and liberated the realm, she and her people were freed from the ice and the threat of Vex and the Ice Emperor done.
Akita and Lloyd were about to part ways and the latter tries to come up with the best way to say goodbye. However, she seizes the moment to kiss him on his cheek, which left him surprised. She then bade him goodbye. Before leaving, he told her to take care and she told him the same.
P.I.X.A.L.[]
.png){kind=link}
Lloyd and P.I.X.A.L.
Lloyd first encounters P.I.X.A.L. during the events of the Nindroid Crisis, but they do not appear to interact directly with one another for quite some time. In later seasons, they get along well, with both occasionally asking the other for advice and assistance on the battlefield.
In Season 7, P.I.X.A.L. uses Nya’s stolen Samurai X mech to catch a falling Lloyd (who lost control of his energy dragon while fighting the Vermillion Army), preventing him from plummeting to his death. Lloyd thanks P.I.X.A.L. for saving his life but is unaware of her identity at the time.
In “The Mask of Deception'', Lloyd communicates with P.I.X.A.L. remotely and asks her to deliver his vehicle to him while chasing Mr. E. When she does so and “catches” Lloyd with his vehicle, he jokingly remarks that he could kiss her for saving him. P.I.X.A.L. is quick to say, “I don’t think Zane would approve,” indicating her firm view of Lloyd as a friend.
Later, when Lloyd and Garmadon launch a mission to destroy the Realm Crystal in a futile attempt to prevent the Oni from entering Ninjago, P.I.X.A.L. waits in her Samurai X mech for them in case they require assistance. When Lloyd and Garmadon are unable to stop the Oni, P.I.X.A.L. comes to their aid and carries them both to safety.
In “Unsinkable”, when P.I.X.A.L. unveiled her creation, the Hydro Bounty, Lloyd was the first ninja to thank her.
In “Assault on Ninjago City'', Wojira attacks P.I.X.A.L. while steering the Destiny’s Bounty and soon overpowers her. When Lloyd becomes aware of this, he immediately comes to her aid and distracts Wojira, allowing P.I.X.A.L. to briefly guide the Bounty and its occupants away from the primordial sea serpent.
In “An Issue of Trust”, when P.I.X.A.L. presents Lloyd with a mech to battle the Crystal King alongside Garmadon, she remarks how the mech should function properly if her calculations are correct. Lloyd assures P.I.X.A.L. that he has no doubt that her calculations are correct and thanks her. P.I.X.A.L. then hugs him, pleasantly surprising him, before they go their separate ways to battle the Crystal King’s forces.
Following the defeat of the Crystal King and his army, Lloyd, P.I.X.A.L., and their allies work together to rebuild the Monastery.
Okino[]
Lloyd and the ninja comfort Okino.
Lloyd and the ninja meet him in Prime Empire.
After many of Okino's disappointments, the ninja were finally masters, whom he led to the Red Dragon. Thanks to the ninja, he learned that Prime Empire was just a video game, that he couldn't believe. The ninja considered him their friend, and so did he, as he refused to obey Unagami and betray the ninja.
After helping them, Lloyd wishes him luck on whatever future choice he had and Okino abandons his task as a guide and becomes a ronin.
It appears they remained friends as Okino was present at Nya's memorial.
Racer Seven[]
Lloyd and Racer Seven
Racer Seven is an NPC that Lloyd befriended in Prime Empire.
In Racer Seven, Lloyd sees Racer Seven racing at the Speedway Five-Billion and once again crashes. After her loss, she gets out of her car and in fury, throws her helmet in his direction while Lloyd was running away from the Red Visors. Lloyd later finds her drowning her sorrows at a noodle shop and stops to talk with her. He explaining that the world she lives in isn't real and Unagami has programmed her to lose. At first, Racer Seven doesn't believe Lloyd and even threatens to call the Red Visors if Lloyd doesn't leave her alone. Before Lloyd leaves, Lloyd tells her to meet in the empty parking lot if she changes her mind. After another loss, she realizes that Lloyd has a point and heads over to the empty parking lot. Lloyd comes out to greet her, happy that she believed him. Lloyd then returns her helmet and asks if she wants to join the race with them.
During The Speedway Five-Billion, Racer Seven takes Lloyd up on his offer and meet him at the garage. The other ninja tell her of what Prime Empire really is, as well as Unagami being Milton Dyer. They reveal the only way to stop him is to get the three Key-Tanas, as well as winning the Yellow Key-Tana in the Speedway Five-Billion and they need her for that. Racer Seven reminisces of what Lloyd told her of how she was created to lose but could change that. She asked how he could be so sure. Lloyd says he isn't, but she has to believe in herself and that'll help her win.
As of Game Over, Racer Seven and Lloyd were freed from Prime Empire by a redeemed Unagami along with the other ninja and NPCs. After exiting the Manifestation Gate, Racer Seven spots Lloyd among the crowd and he sees her. She briefly smiles at Lloyd, in gratitude for giving her a new start in life. Lloyd accepted this with a smile of his own.
It appears they remained friends as Racer Seven was present at Nya's memorial.
Vania[]
Lloyd became suspicious of Vania
Lloyd and the Ninjas were invited in Shintaro for Vania's Birthday. When Vania was excited to see the Ninja, Lloyd became suspicious of her after what happened with Harumi.

It appears they remained friends as Vania was present at Nya's memorial.
Alfonzo Frohicky[]
- “Did I bring the thing? To the place?”
- “Yep. Still the best Assistant Keeper of the Monastery ever.”
| — Alfonzo Frohicky and Lloyd, "The Power Within" |
Alfonzo Frohicky is the current (and only) Assistant Keeper of the Monastery. Lloyd was skeptical when Arin and Sora brought him in to help maintain the monastery while Lloyd would train the two, until he eventually caved in.
Enemies[]
Pythor[]
- “I thought you were my friend.”
- “All you wanted was to make the Serpentine your slave. Well, sorry, my dear boy, I have other plans.”
| — Lloyd and Pythor, Never Trust a Snake |
Lloyd and Pythor
Pythor manipulated Lloyd to get his hands on the map to the Serpentine tombs. Pythor later allied himself with the Overlord to get vengeance on Lloyd for letting the Great Devourer eat him. When capturing him, Lloyd was shocked to see Pythor's new look and the latter blamed him for it.
During the Second Serpentine War, Pythor wasn't pleased to see Lloyd again but had no choice but to help the ninja. Lloyd even protected Pythor from Chen's forces and Pythor gave the ninja a spell that would banish Chen and his followers. By doing this, Pythor became a temporary ally to the ninja, despite the spell banishing Garmadon too.
During "Day of the Departed," Pythor fell back into his evil ways and decided to use the events of the day to destroy Lloyd. They fought and Pythor used underhanded moves such as holding Lloyd's mother hostage but Lloyd and his mother broke free and Pythor disappeared into the night.
Shortly before the crystal infection, Lloyd met Pythor again and tried to fight him.
The Overlord[]
Lloyd vs The Overlord.
Lloyd and The Overlord were fated enemies, as the prophesied Green Ninja and Dark Lord respectively. The Overlord hated Lloyd for being the grandson of the First Spinjitzu Master and sought to destroy him. In return, Lloyd personally hated The Overlord for corrupting his friends and father to serve him and defeated him during the Final Battle.
Due to Pythor, The Overlord returned to try to steal Lloyd's golden powers to become the Golden Master. However, Zane made the final move and sacrificed him to protect his friends and freed Lloyd from being a victim of the threat.
One year following the defeat of Kalmaar, The Overlord revealed himself to Lloyd as the Crystal King that gathered his enemies and brought Harumi back. The dark entity taunted Lloyd about how he and his predecessors failed to end the Overlord for good. Eventually, Lloyd was able to defeat the Overlord once again with the help of the Golden Ultra Dragon.
Chen[]
Lloyd entered his tournament after hearing Zane was on his island. Lloyd later learned Chen was his father's old master and was surprised to learn this.
Lloyd began to view Chen as an enemy, once seeing him take the Elemental Powers of Karlof and wanted to stop him in his tracks.
Lloyd also learned that Chen was indirectly responsible for his birth after he learned the villain gave his father the love letter Wu had written to his mother.
Lloyd was lured into facing Chen when Kai feigned allegiance to him. In their battle, Chen used his staff to hold the advantage of the Green Ninja and defeated him effortlessly. Chen also couldn't help in rubbing in on holding Lloyd's fate to his father. Chen stripped Lloyd of his power and prepared to complete his spell, however, Kai revealed his ruse, and Lloyd regained his powers. Along with his friends, he fought against Chen's forces. He grew to detest him when learning Chen manipulated the humans and Serpentine into fighting each other, in order to benefit himself.
Lloyd defeated Chen after he banished his father and freed the spirits of the Anacondrai generals and they cursed Chen and his followers.
Morro (formerly)[]
Lloyd and Morro fighting over the Realm Crystal.
Lloyd was possessed by Morro for most of Season 5.
They first meet when Lloyd is lured into a trap by the ghost warrior. Morro subsequently attacked Lloyd, while taunting him that his father's sacrifice was what allowed him to break out of his imprisonment. Morro showed a dislike for Lloyd both because he was Wu's nephew and the Green Ninja, something he dreamed of.
After the ninja found the Realm Crystal, Morro abandoned Lloyd's body and held the weakened Green Ninja hostage for the item in question over their friend. However, Morro leaving Lloyd caused the other ninja to regain their power and they fought to free Lloyd.
Reunited with his friends, Lloyd sought to defeat Morro for possessing him. Lloyd confronted Morro and attacked him in revenge for using him.
During "Day of the Departed," they meet again and Lloyd was angry to see him. He quickly armed himself for a fight until Wu told them that Morro came to help, to Lloyd's surprise. Morro explained to them of what Yang was planning. Due to him, the ninja recalled how they forgot Cole and rushed to his aid. His mission accomplished, a redeemed Morro returned to the Departed Realm at peace.
Vex[]
Lloyd and Vex
Lloyd sees Vex as an enemy for manipulating Zane.
During "The Never-Realm," Lloyd heard about him from Sorla and was worried about the threat he poses to save Zane.
In "My Enemy, My Friend," they meet formally when Vex had Boreal spare Lloyd after he was defeated and brought before his master. He was present when Lloyd awoke and was shocked to learn that the Ice Emperor's true identity as Zane.
In "A Fragile Hope," Lloyd realized Vex had something to do with Zane's condition when the latter called him a liar and requested permission to destroy Lloyd after he tries to get through to Zane and take his staff but is forced to watch him be imprisoned. Despite this, Vex relished in taunting Lloyd on having hope, while stating that Lloyd does not know the "many details" that could help get through to Zane. The Green Ninja was unaware of Zane's lost memories and states Zane will see him for the liar he is, though Vex cockily retorts he is the faithful advisor and tells Lloyd the shackles he's in will block his powers.
During "Once and for All," Lloyd's group were confronted by Vex. Lloyd was able to slip away while Vex confronted his allies.
In "Awakenings," Vex arrives to find Lloyd frozen by his master. Seeing this, he implored his master to destroy the Green Ninja. However, when he hesitates, Vex tried to do the job himself while taunting Lloyd on his predicament in failing. He moved to destroy Lloyd until Zane regained his memories and stopped him by knocking them away. Later on, Vex was stripped of power and was banished to the outskirts of the realm.
Grimfax (formerly)[]
Lloyd and Grimfax
Grimfax was initially an enemy but became a friend of Lloyd's.
The two first met when Grimfax's Legion attacked Great Lake in "Fire Maker." Lloyd and Grimfax battled until the latter retreated after snuffing out the Hearth Fire.
They meet again in "A Fragile Hope," where he listens to Lloyd plea to Zane and is left in a thought about it. In the dungeon, Grimfax questions Lloyd if he was really friends with Zane and if he could get through to him after Lloyd says he could, Grimfax released him. Thankful, Lloyd welcomes him to his resistance.
During "Once and for All," they were confronted by Vex and his soldiers. Grimfax put his faith in Lloyd by telling him to split from the group and get through to Zane.
In "Awakenings," Grimfax's faith was well put because Lloyd not only got through to Zane but freed the realm from the eternal winter. This also allowed Grimfax to take back his rightful place as king and banish Vex for his crimes.
