When It Aired
A preview trailer for the season was released on YouTube on June 8, 2015. The first episode of Possession premiered on June 29, 2015, on Cartoon Network. New episodes were released throughout June and July 2015. The final two-part episode, "Curseworld," aired on July 9 and 10, 2015.
What Happens in the Story?
The story begins when Lloyd is taken over by the ghost of Morro. When this happens, the other ninja lose their special elemental powers. Morro wants Sensei Wu's staff because it has clues to a powerful secret. He manages to steal the staff, but Wu has already made a copy of the symbols on it.
Wu explains that Morro was his first student and the Elemental Master of Wind. Morro was angry because he thought he would be the Green Ninja, but he wasn't chosen. He left to find the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master but never came back. Now, Morro and his three ghost warriors are looking for the Realm Crystal. This crystal will let Morro release the Preeminent, a huge monster from the Cursed Realm, into Ninjago.
Learning Airjitzu
The first clue on Wu's staff is about Airjitzu, a technique that lets you float. To learn it, the ninja travel to Stiix to find Ronin. Ronin stole the Scroll of Airjitzu. On their way, they learn that ghosts can be defeated with water. In Stiix, Morro tricks them and takes the scroll himself. He learns Airjitzu and escapes.
The ninja then find out they can learn Airjitzu at the Temple of Airjitzu. Meanwhile, Nya trains hard with Wu to control her water powers. The ninja visit the temple, which is haunted by Master Yang. They get the Scroll of Airjitzu. Yang tries to trap them, warning that anyone left inside at dawn will become a ghost. The ninja escape, but Cole doesn't make it out in time and turns into a ghost! He stays a ghost for this season and the next.
Finding the Sword and Tomb
After learning Airjitzu, the ninja search for the second clue: the Sword of Sanctuary. They climb the Wailing Alps and use Airjitzu to enter a place called Cloud Kingdom. Morro tricks them again, takes the sword, and returns to Ninjago. Kai manages to get the sword from Morro. The ninja use it to find the third clue: the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master.
When they reach the tomb, they face three dangerous tests. Inside, they find the Realm Crystal. Morro appears, releases Lloyd from his control, and escapes with the crystal. Lloyd is weak, but the ninja's elemental powers start to return. Morro uses the Realm Crystal to unleash an army of ghosts and the Preeminent. The ninja fight the ghosts but are overwhelmed.
The Final Battle
They retreat on a boat. Nya finally unlocks her true potential as the Master of Water. She creates a giant wave that destroys the Preeminent and the ghost army! Wu tries to save Morro, but Morro lets go and disappears into the water, giving Wu the Realm Crystal. The ninja use the crystal to bring Lloyd back. Lloyd decides to follow in his father's footsteps and train others.
