Sono

“Being Master of Sound means harnessing the power of the perfect note and pitch. That requires sharpened skills of listening. Do you know what I hear? The realm of Ninjago getting ready, tuning its instruments, whether it's to play a military march or peaceful symphony, I cannot say. There's only one way to find out. Yes, I will join your budding ensemble.”

— Sono to Wu and Mystake, Strike of the Serpentine

Sono was the Elemental Master of Sound, a relative of Jacob Pevsner, and a member of the Elemental Alliance.

History

History[]

Spellbound (flashback)[]

In the Serpentine War, Sono fought the Anacondrai in the Birchwood Forest alongside the Elemental Alliance. At one point, Chen turned Benton against them.

The Hatching (flashback)[]

Shortly after winning the war, the two Masters of Time, Krux and Acronix, betrayed the Alliance, leaving them with no choice but to fight back.

Pause and Effect (flashback)[]

Sono watched as Wu told Maya and Ray that he had a plan to defeat the Hands of Time. When Wu and Garmadon defeated the Time Twins using the Time Blades forged by Maya and Ray, the Master of Sound restrained Krux.

Lost in Time[]

Sono fought the Vermillion with a bo staff. Later, he realized that the Elemental Alliance had to keep them separated, so he used a sonic scream on one of the snake warriors.

Trivia

Trivia[]

Wu and the Master of Sound's torso designs

Regarding his appearance:
- His hat has a design resembling a tuning fork.
- The design of his undershirt resembles Wu's 2012 minifigure design, which never appeared in the show.
- The design of the vest matches the one used on the 2011 Jar Jar Binks minifigure.
When young Wu is referring to the Elemental Masters in "The Hatching," he seems to refer to Sono as "Smoke."
The only time Sono's voice can be heard is when he uses his sonic scream ability in "Lost in Time."
