Hands of Time is the seventh season of the animated TV show Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. It first aired in 2017, right after the special called Day of the Departed. This season introduces two powerful villains known as the "Hands of Time." They are twin brothers who can control time itself!
The story follows these villains as they try to find four special "Time Blades" hidden across Ninjago. Our heroes, the ninja Kai and Nya, chase the Time Twins through time to stop them. The season ends with a big mystery: Sensei Wu gets lost in time. This mystery wasn't solved until the next season, Sons of Garmadon.

When It Aired
A preview for the Hands of Time season was released online in December 2016. The first episode, "The Hands of Time," premiered on Cartoon Network on May 15, 2017. New episodes were shown almost every day until the season finale, "Lost in Time," on May 26, 2017.
What Happens in the Story
The season begins when Acronix, one of the Time Twins, returns after being trapped for 40 years. He fights Master Wu and uses a special "Forward Time Blade" to make Wu age very quickly. Acronix then meets up with his brother, Krux.
Wu explains that the Time Twins were once Elemental Masters like the ninja. But they turned bad! Wu and Garmadon used four special Time Blades to take away the twins' powers and send them into a time vortex. Krux had actually escaped years ago and was secretly living as Dr. Sander Saunders, a museum curator.
The Time Twins' Plan
The Time Twins start their evil plan. Krux has created an army of "Vermillion" warriors, which are snakes that form into armored fighters. They kidnap Cyrus Borg and other skilled workers to build a giant time-traveling robot called the "Iron Doom."
The ninja try to fight the Vermillion, but these snake warriors can put themselves back together easily! Kai and Nya learn that their parents, Ray and Maya, were forced to help the Time Twins make the Vermillion armor.
Finding the Time Blades
The Vermillion find the "Slow-Mo Time Blade" in the desert, but the ninja manage to take it. Later, the Time Twins attack the Temple of Airjitzu, capture Wu, and escape with two Time Blades. They then find the "Pause Time Blade" on a mountain.
The ninja split up to save their friends and Wu. Kai goes to his parents' old Blacksmith Shop. He learns that his parents were forced to work for Krux and that they hid the last Time Blade, the "Reversal Time Blade," in a secret place.
The Time Twins force Kai and Nya to get the Reversal Blade from a dangerous place called the Boiling Sea. Kai and Nya create a "Fusion Dragon" by combining their powers to reach it. But when they return, Acronix hits Kai's father, Ray, with the Forward Time Blade, making him age rapidly.
The Final Battle in Time
The Hands of Time travel back 40 years to the past, to the time when they first fought the Elemental Masters. Kai, Nya, and Wu follow them. The Vermillion attack the monastery in the past, and the ninja join the fight.
The Time Twins change history by making Wu give up, which makes present-day Ninjago lose all its technology. Kai and Nya ride their Fusion Dragon to fight the Iron Doom. The Time Twins open another time vortex to escape, but the ninja confront them.
During the fight, Wu pulls out the Reversal Blade, which breaks the Iron Doom. Kai and Nya are thrown back to the present day with the Reversal Blade. They use it to cure their father, Ray, who was aging fast.
The Time Twins and Wu are lost in time aboard the broken Iron Doom. The ninja realize Wu is gone and turn to Lloyd, making him their new leader. They know they must find Wu, no matter where he is in time!
