Gravis

History

History[]

Background[]

Gravis was born as a descendant of the first Elemental Master of Gravity. At some point, he unlocked his True Potential.^[1] Eventually, he received an invitation to Master Chen's Tournament of Elements.

Tournament of Elements[]

The Invitation[]

Gravis was one of those invited to participate in the Tournament of Elements. He accepted and met the other Elemental Masters on the New Ninjago City pier at midnight where they were picked up by Clouse to be taken to Chen's Island. While on the ferry, Gravis meditated while using his powers to make nearby objects float.

Only One Can Remain[]

After arriving on the island, Gravis met Master Chen and settled into his room in Chen's Palace. When the first round begins, Gravis obtained a Jadeblade by taking the one Cole won from Mr. Pale after he raised it in a moment of triumph. After Gravis gave the blade to Chen, he was advanced to the next round of the tournament. He later cheered when Karlof was shown to have the last Jadeblade and cheered louder after Kai outsmarted Karlof and won.

Versus[]

The next day, Gravis was announced as the second competitor of the first match, where he fought against Griffin Turner to obtain a Jadeblade from a cherry blossom tree. Although both had an even start, Griffin began to annoy Gravis by running around him and using the branches to knock him off balance. In return, Gravis then buried the Master of Speed using the blossoms. He then levitated the Jadeblade towards him, but unfortunately, Griffin grabbed it first, knocking the Master of Gravity out of the tournament. Chen then activated a trapdoor, which Gravis laughed at since he was still levitating, though fell in when Chen pressed a button that somehow dropped a sandbag on him, causing him to fall into a trapdoor. After that, Chen took away Gravis's element using the Staff of Elements and sent him to work at his noodle factory.

Spellbound[]

After the factory was put on lockdown, Gravis and the other imprisoned masters gather around Zane and Cole as Cole explained their plan to use the sewer pipes to escape. Unfortunately, the plan was foiled thanks to the arrival of Dareth. After they decided to build a Roto Jet to blast their way out, Gravis searched the factory for usable parts.

The Forgotten Element[]

Gravis helped with building the Roto Jet. After its completion, he joined the others in subduing the guards and escaping the factory. Later, they broke into a room full of skeletal remains, where they rescue Nya and Garmadon from the Anacondrai serpent by using the Roto Jet to fire at rocks, which fell and crushed the serpent to death. They soon broke into Chen's ceremony room, where they disrupt his spell that would have turned the warriors into Anacondrai, and battle the warriors. When Kai destroyed Chen's staff, Gravis's element returned to him, and he continued to help his allies in defeating Chen's followers. However, Chen and a few henchmen manage to escape. Later, Gravis and Griffin Turner took out Chen's henchmen, now captured, from the palace, taking control of the island.

The Day of the Dragon[]

Gravis and the other elemental fighters continued to guard Chen's followers but had to fight them when they unexpectedly turned into Anacondrai. After the Elemental Masters locked themselves in the palace to protect themselves, Chen and his army use the opportunity to escape, with the intent of conquering Ninjago. When seeing Kai and Zane awaken their Elemental Dragons, Gravis awoke his own Gravity Dragon and headed after Chen's army with the other fighters to Ninjago.

The Greatest Fear of All[]

Gravis used his Gravity Dragon to fly back to Ninjago City, where he watched over the city with the other masters.

The Elemental Masters prepare to confront Chen.

Later, Gravis and the other Masters stand ready to hold off Chen and his forces, who have gathered in twenty noodle trucks. However, the trucks began heading in various directions to presumably attack the villages, Gravis pursued one of them, only to find it empty and realize Chen separated them to invade without hindrance.

Like many others, he lost his dragon because of fear and was left stranded as Chen invaded without a problem.

The Corridor of Elders[]

After receiving a message from Neuro, Gravis met up with the other masters in the Samurai X Cave. There, Gravis questioned how they would be able to stop Chen's army as they no longer were able to control their Elemental Dragons. Eventually, they decided to make their stand against Chen's army in the Corridor of Elders. During the battle in the Corridor, Gravis fought bravely against the fake Anacondrai, and when Chen caused one of the statues to fall on the people of Ninjago, Gravis used his power to move it out of the way, saving many people' lives.

Following the Cultists' banishment to the Cursed Realm by the souls of the released Anacondrai generals, Gravis celebrated with the other masters when victory was achieved. He later promised to help the ninja with any problems they might face in the future.

Trivia

Trivia[]

The Trivia on Gravis needs to be organized.

You can help the wiki by organizing the following information chronologically based on how the information applies to the series.
This template can be removed once the section has been organized.

Gravis's torso is a recolored version of Zane's Stone Armor variant from "The Titanium Ninja".
Gravis's belt is taken from the Barbarian from Minifigures Series 11. An altered version also appears on Ash.
His name is based on Lagravis, a character from Legends of Chima,^[5] and his element Gravity.
Gravis, Bolobo, Jacob, Chamille, and Ash, are the only Elemental Masters who did not return in Season 9.
- Unlike Chamille and Bolobo, it is unknown where Gravis and various other Elemental Masters were during Lord Garmadon's rule and the city's takeover.
In Episode 37, Gravis is voiced by Kirby Morrow, who voices two other Elemental Masters in the series, these being Cole and Mr. Pale.
- In the two other episodes in which he speaks, Gravis is voiced by Mark Oliver, who voices another Elemental Master, Garmadon.
Gravis is an unlockable character in The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame. His blind bag can be found in the level "Ninjago City Downtown."
- He is also unlockable in LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin. In the game, Gravis wields a black butterfly sword and can perform basic Spinjitzu despite the fact that Gravis lacks both in the TV series.
Gravis is one of ten Elemental Masters that have facial hair.
- The other nine are Wu, Bolobo, Neuro, Karlof, Jacob, Mr. Pale, Jay, (in the future) and the Time Twins.
Gravis bares resemblance to the appearance of a Sikh.
- Since he has a turban, this could mean religion exists in Ninjago.
  - A Sky Pirate also has a turban, in the show and in 853544 LEGO NINJAGO Accessory Set.
In Minifigure form, his turban (part 18822) is different from the one in the show (part 40235), probably because the original piece is retired.
He is one of the few current Elemental Masters who didn't participate the Tournament of the Sources.
