Seabound is the fourteenth season of the awesome Ninjago TV show! It's a computer-animated series that was first created by Michael Hegner and Tommy Andreasen. This exciting season first aired in April 2021. It came right after The Island, which aired in March 2021. After Seabound, the story continues in the fifteenth season, Crystalized.
This season is super special because it focuses on the main ninja character, Nya. Her amazing water powers start acting really weird! The story shows how this problem is connected to an ancient, mythical creature. To solve the mystery, the ninja team – Jay, Zane, PIXAL, and Lloyd – go on a deep-sea adventure. They dive deep under the ocean to find out what's going on with Nya's powers. You'll also meet two new villains: Miss Demeanor and the main bad guy of the season, Prince Kalmaar. This season is dedicated to Kirby Morrow, the voice actor who played Cole.

The voice actor for the main villain, Kalmaar, was revealed to be Giles Panton. This was announced by the show's co-creator, Tommy Andreasen, on April 7, 2021.
The Story of Seabound
The story of Seabound begins when Nya is trying to stop a criminal named Miss Demeanor. Miss Demeanor is trying to smuggle a special material called vengestone. But during this mission, Nya starts to lose control of her amazing water powers.
Master Wu tells the ninjas an old legend. He explains that the First Spinjitzu Master could control many elements, but not wind or water. These elements belonged to Wojira, a powerful storm spirit. Wojira fell into a deep sleep after a brave warrior took two special amulets from the serpent's forehead. Nya's parents, Ray and Maya, arrive to help her try to control her powers again.
While PIXAL and Zane are on a mission, they feel a huge energy pulse coming from deep in the ocean. They realize this pulse might be affecting Nya's powers. So, the ninjas decide to investigate! They use their cool underwater vehicle, the Hydro Bounty, to explore the ocean depths.
Deep Sea Adventure and New Villains
Nya, Jay, Lloyd, Zane, and PIXAL journey deep into the ocean. Maya secretly joins them on board! Unfortunately, the Hydro Bounty crashes, leaving them stranded. Nya and Maya decide to use their special underwater mechs to reach the energy source. They discover a hidden underwater temple.
Inside the temple, they find Kalmaar, who is the son of King Trimaar. Kalmaar is trying to wake up the powerful serpent Wojira! He captures Nya and Maya. He also overhears Nya talking about where the Storm Amulet is hidden. Meanwhile, Jay bravely tries to recharge the Hydro Bounty's battery using his lightning powers.
Nya and Maya are rescued by Jay and Lloyd. But then, they are all captured again and taken to King Trimaar. He accuses them of trespassing in his kingdom. Suddenly, Kalmaar attacks his own father with his weapon and declares himself the new king of the Merlopians! His adopted brother, Benthomaar, learns the truth from King Trimaar. Benthomaar then helps the ninjas escape from Merlopia. They decide they must get the Storm Amulet before Kalmaar can claim it.
The Race for the Amulet
The ninjas travel to the Island of the Keepers. They warn Chief Mammatus to get ready to protect the Storm Amulet. But Zane soon realizes that the amulet on the island is a fake! The real amulet was taken by Clutch Powers to the Explorers Club.
Wu, Cole, Misako, Kai, and Ray arrive at the Explorers Club. They are forced to battle Kalmaar and his forces. At the same time, Nya uses her powers to call whales to bring the stranded Hydro Bounty back to Ninjago City. As Kai chases Kalmaar through the city streets, Antonia and Nelson get the amulet. Kalmaar chases them, but he manages to escape with the amulet.
Benthomaar tells the ninjas an ancient tale. It's the story of Nyad, the very first Elemental Master of Water. She defeated Wojira by becoming one with the ocean. When Kalmaar tries to leave the city, Nya bravely steals the amulet back. Cole takes it to Shintaro for safety, but he doesn't realize it's the fake one! This allows Kalmaar to finally reawaken Wojira.
The Final Battle and Nya's Choice
The sea levels begin to rise as Kalmaar invades Ninjago City, riding on Wojira! This forces all the citizens to evacuate. While the ninjas are busy saving people, Nya bravely challenges Kalmaar and Wojira. Jay gets trapped in his underwater vehicle. Benthomaar saves him, but Jay breathes in water.
To save Jay and Ninjago City, Nya makes a huge sacrifice. She becomes one with the ocean, an act that can never be undone. This amazing power removes the water from Jay’s lungs. A big battle happens between the ninjas and Kalmaar. Benthomaar breaks Kalmaar's trident, which makes him lose control of Wojira. Kalmaar is then swallowed whole by Wojira!
Nya transforms into a powerful water dragon. She defeats Wojira by destroying the Wave Amulet. But because Nya has merged with the endless sea, she can no longer stay on land. The ocean calls to her. After a sad goodbye, she leaves the ninjas and returns to the ocean. Later, the ninjas hold a special ceremony to honor her. In the very last shot, Nya is seen happily swimming with the whales.
