Greatsnakeicon "I was bitten by a snake."


This article is about a subject that is relevant to the storyline of both the Ninjago TV series and the LEGO Movie franchise. Information may be more directed toward one continuity than the other.

“What is the best way to defeat an enemy?”
“Easy, with a sword!”
Wu and Kai, "Never Trust a Snake"

The katana is a very common and well-known ninja weapon. It appears as a sword with a leather-wrapped hilt, a very small, flat guard, and a long, thin blade with a slight curve away from the cutting edge. They appear in several colors, most notably gold, silver, and black.

History[]

Kai, Lloyd, and Nya initially specialized in using katanas. To date, only Kai still uses a katana as his weapon, using twin katanas and a golden katana later on.

Variants[]

Golden[]

Gold katanas are periodically used by the ninja. They are prominent in the Ninjago Spinners game, as the Golden Weapons hold more power in the game.

Silver[]

Silver katanas are used very commonly by the ninja, being perhaps the most common variant next to gold. Silver katanas were Kai's main weapons in Seasons 7 through 10. The Stone Army wielded silver katanas in the show.

Black[]

Black katanas were used by the ninja and Ronin in the Possession sets, referred to as Deepstone Katanas. Black katanas were later used by the Oni. The Stone Army wielded black katanas in the sets.

Spring-green[]

Spring-green katanas were first used by the Ghost Warriors. They were later used by the ninja in the Prime Empire sets.

Brown[]

Brown katanas were exclusively used by Spinjitzu Training Nya in 71019 The LEGO Ninjago Movie Series.

Red[]

Red katanas were first used by the Sons of Garmadon, most prominently Mr. E. The Red Visors used red katanas in the Prime Empire sets; the Stone Army and Nindroids used them in Legacy sets as well.

Azure[]

Azure katanas were used by Skales in Rise of the Snakes for the first time (although these were made out of Ice in the show). Later, they were used by Blizzard Samurai in Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu. Hausner also used azure katanas in the Prime Empire sets.

Orange[]

Orange katanas were used by Richie in the Prime Empire sets, as well as Cole in the core sets.

White[]

White katanas were exclusively used by the Stone Guardians in The Island sets.

Crystal[]

Crystal katanas were used by Harumi and Mister F. The blade of the katanas are made out of crystals while the hilt appears to be made out of Vengestone. The Overlord also wields one in the Crystalized sets.

Trivia[]

  • Early in Ninjago's run, the katana mold was upgraded, gaining a brighter sheen and a slightly shorter, straighter, and sturdier blade, as well as a square-shaped tsuba instead of an octagonal one. The handle was also upgraded, as the new handle is harder and firmer and does not peel away with use.
  • The way that the katanas are stored in their sword holder is different in many seasons. In Skybound, the katanas are stored facing up, and in Sons of Garmadon, they are stored facing down.[1]
  • Lloyd , Nya, Jay, and Cole come with pairs of silver katanas in the Sons of Garmadon sets in addition to their weapons seen in the show, though they do not use katanas in the season.
  • In 70639 Street Race of Snake Jaguar, Zane does not come with katanas because the quiver on his back takes up too much space, but he has them in 10755 Zane's Ninja Boat Pursuit.
  • 71708 Gamer's Market contains the most varieties of the katana in the one set. It includes katanas in gold, orange, red, azure and spring-green.
  • In the Hunted sets, a new package of weapons was used, which contains two katanas without handles, so they can be attached to another piece. These packages also appear in the Legacy sets (gold, silver and green), Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu sets (gold), Prime Empire sets (spring-green), Master of the Mountain (gold) and The Island (white) sets.
  • It is possible that two major turning points for individuals who would ultimately become enemies of Wu were caused by Wu's negligence involving various katanas. These moments would be Garmadon's corruption by the Great Devourer's venom, as seen in "Tick Tock," and Morro's fall to darkness after discovering he was not the Green Ninja, as seen in "Ghost Story."[2]
