Crystalized is the fifteenth and final season of the popular animated TV show Ninjago. This exciting season was released in two parts during 2022. It continues the story right after the Seabound season.

To do this, they have to break some rules and become wanted heroes! The second part of the season brings back the ninja's biggest enemy, the Overlord. He now calls himself the Crystal King. He gathers many old villains to finally defeat the ninja and take over Ninjago.

New Voices and Old Friends

This season brought back all the main voice actors for the ninja. However, there was a change for the character Cole. Sadly, Kirby Morrow, who voiced Cole from the beginning, passed away. So, Crystalized was the first season where Andrew Francis took over as Cole's voice actor.

The creators of Ninjago thought a lot about what to do. They decided it was important for Cole to stay in the story. They felt he was a key part of the 2022 story. So, they chose to find a new voice actor for him. It was a very hard and emotional decision for the team.

When Did it Come Out?

The creators first mentioned the script for Crystalized in January 2021. They told fans to expect the season in 2022. Before the show aired, The Lego Group shared sneak peeks and trailers on their official YouTube channel.

The first twelve episodes were released online on May 20, 2022. They were also available on Netflix on the same day. In the United Kingdom, the season started on CITV on June 6, 2022. The second half of the season was released later in 2022, starting on September 18 in New Zealand and October 1 on Netflix Australia.

What Happens in the Story?

The story begins with the ninja team feeling lost and broken up. A new group called the New Ninja appears, fighting bad guys in Ninjago City. Meanwhile, Nya, who became a water dragon in the last season, starts to remember who she is. She meets another water elemental named Nyad, who helps her find her way home.

The ninja get back together. They find out about a secret plan to smuggle "vengestone," a material that can stop elemental powers. They try to fight the smugglers but are embarrassed when the New Ninja show up and defeat the villains instead.

Nya returns to the monastery as water. Zane freezes her to keep her shape. The ninja decide to break Aspheera out of prison. They need her staff to drain Nya's water power and turn her back into a human. Skylor helps keep Nya frozen. During their mission, the ninja fight the New Ninja again. Kai accidentally reveals their identities, making them wanted fugitives! Aspheera agrees to help Nya if she gets her freedom. Nya becomes human again. The New Ninja arrive and arrest all the ninja except Nya. Aspheera escapes and is recruited by a mysterious person called the Crystal King.

The ninja are sent to Kryptarium prison for five years. They find many old enemies there, including Pythor. Lloyd gets a message from the Crystal King, who warns him that he is gathering all of Lloyd's past enemies. Pythor is broken out of prison by the messenger. The ninja try to stop him but fail.

Eventually, the ninja escape with help from Nya (disguised as Samurai X) and Dareth. They wander the desert, chased by Sheriff HoundDog McBrag. They meet a singer named Sally, and Zane learns about emotions. The ninja reunite and trick The Mechanic. Lloyd then pretends to be The Mechanic to join the Crystal King's secret council. There, he meets Aspheera, Pythor, King Vangelis, and Mr. F. But his cover is blown! The Crystal King's messenger reveals herself to be Harumi, who Lloyd thought was dead.

Harumi explains that the Crystal King brought her back to life. She agreed to serve him, even after learning he was the Overlord. She used vengestone to build an army that can stop the ninja's powers. Harumi plans to steal the Golden Weapons. Kai, Jay, Zane, and Cole are trapped underground by Crystal Spiders. Lloyd thinks his friends are dead, which makes him very angry and awakens his hidden Oni powers. The Crystal Council attacks the monastery, destroying it and taking the Golden Weapons. Wu, Skylor, and P.I.X.A.L. escape. Nya rescues the trapped ninja. Aspheera performs a ritual that makes the Golden Weapons evil, allowing the Overlord to become physical again.

The Overlord gives the Crystal Council new powers and makes his temple fly. Lloyd refuses to join him and escapes with Harumi. They fall into the jungle. The ninja go to rescue Lloyd. They find him and Harumi, but the Crystal Council is also there. Lloyd has to leave Harumi and escape with his friends, telling them the Overlord is back. The Crystal Army marches towards Ninjago City, turning everyone into crystal. The ninja try to stop them, but their vehicles lose power.

Wu and Lloyd find Garmadon living in an apartment. Garmadon has been trying to be a better person by caring for a plant named Christofern. He agrees to help after the Crystal Army destroys his apartment. Wu thinks only the powers of Creation and Destruction can harm the Overlord. He asks Misako to research a powerful Dragon form. Garmadon tries to teach Lloyd to use his Oni powers, but Lloyd doesn't want to use his anger.

P.I.X.A.L. upgrades the ninja's vehicles to use the crystals' power. They fight the Crystal Army again. Wu faces the Overlord but is defeated. The Overlord uses a weapon that turns all of Ninjago City into crystal, destroying the ninja's vehicles. Wu hides with some kids and broadcasts a message to inspire people. Nya gets her water powers back and saves Jay. P.I.X.A.L. finds a broken Zane, who has become like his old Ice Emperor self. She takes him to Borg Tower. Kai and Cole are saved by Skylor. They join Wu and other people at a warehouse. Lloyd and Garmadon look for the missing Serpentine.

The ninja connect with all their allies for help. Cyrus Borg gives mechs to Ronin and his friends. P.I.X.A.L. fixes Zane and helps him get his memories back. Nya uses her powers to contact the Merlopians. Racer 7 helps Cole broadcast a distress call to Shintaro.

The ninja gather at the warehouse for a final battle. Lloyd and Garmadon confront the Overlord. Kai, Jay, Zane, and Cole unlock their powerful Dragon forms. They defeat the Crystal Council and make the Golden Weapons good again. The Overlord reveals he made Garmadon evil long ago. This makes Harumi switch sides to help Lloyd and Garmadon. Garmadon seems to die, which makes Lloyd's Oni form appear. But Lloyd resists using his rage to win. The ninja combine the Golden Weapons, creating a giant four-headed dragon. Lloyd rides the dragon and defeats the Overlord. They escape the crumbling temple with Harumi and Garmadon, who faked his death.

After the battle, the ninja's elemental powers return to their source. Garmadon plants Christofern on a mountain. The ninja rebuild their monastery with their friends and allies.
