Overview
The Endless Sea (also known as the Endless Ocean[1] or the Great Ocean[2]) is the sea that surrounds every island and landmass in the realm of Ninjago. The sea existed long before the First Spinjitzu Master created the land of Ninjago, and that was where Wojira terrorized the sea-life with the full power of Wave and Storm. Wojira was then defeated by Nyad and a few millennia later she was defeated by Nya. Because of this, they both had to merge with the sea.
After the Merge, the Endless Sea merged with the oceans from other realms.
Features
Features[]
The Endless Sea features many fish and other water creatures, including eels, jellyfish, sharks, Ripper Sharks, whales, manta rays, starteeth, Leviathans, Fangfish and Wojira. It also used to be a safe haven for pirates, including Captain Soto and Nadakhan.
The depth of the sea varies drastically. At some points, the water is shallow enough to reach the bottom in a moment.[3] Other areas such as Hollow's Trench are deep enough to sink creatures as large as the Preeminent.[4] The Tartarus Trench is the deepest point in the sea. Near the trench, there is an underwater kingdom of Merlopia, home of the Merlopian race.
An Elemental Master of Water can merge with the Endless Sea. However, this act is semi-permanent, and separation is nigh impossible without draining the user of all their elemental power temporarily.
History
History[]
Prior to the series[]
After leaving from the Realm of Oni and Dragons, the First Spinjitzu Master went to find a new home. Once he did, he found a realm of a vast ocean that was inhabited by a sea spirit named Wojira, who used her amulets to plunge the world into unending chaos with complete control of the Endless Sea and the violent thunderstorms plaguing it. Allying with Nyad, the first Elemental Master of Water, the First Spinjitzu Master lead an alliance of the Merlopians and the islanders to battle against Wojira that lasted for nine days straight. Making a final stand on the ninth day, Nyad merged herself with the Endless Sea to pry the two amulets from Wojira's head, causing her to fall into a deep sleep while the Endless Sea became calm and peaceful for thousands of years.[5]
Two hundred years before present day, the Endless Sea was plagued by pirates during a turbulent era of piracy and plunder; the two most infamous crews being of Captain Soto of the Destiny's Bounty and Nadakhan the djinn of the Misfortune's Keep. Soto's and Nadakhan's crews would clash during a sea battle which ended with Nadakhan being trapped in a teapot and his crew marooned across the other realms.[6] Soto and his crew would later met their ends on a failed expedition for the fabled Dark Island when No-Eyed Pete crashed into Ninjago's shores and sank their ship.[7]

Dark Island Trilogy[]
Dark Island Trilogy - Part 1[]
Ronin and Misako sailed the Endless Sea from Ninjago to the Dark Island.
Prior to The Island[]
While helping the Ninjago Police capture the escaped Kryptarium inmates, Ronin soon realised he could use the escaped inmates as a way to get more money. So he and his criminal group sailed the Endless Sea and travel to the Island of the Keepers. By using a boat that resembled Wojira to travel to the island, Ronin and the escaped criminals tricked the Keepers into giving them their money and resources every week.[8]
While trying to find Wojira's resting place, Kalmaar discovered that Wojira was in a temple at the Tartarus Trench and told his father about it, but was forbidden to go there by his father. Ignoring his father, Kalmar got Benthomaar to swim through there by tricking him that he wanted to make a fresh start.[9]
Once they went to the Tartarus Trench, Benthomaar and Kalmaar swam passed the vents and eels and made it to the Temple of Wojira. However, Kalmaar revealed to him that all he said before was a lie and told him to go.[9] Eventually, Kalmaar later stole the Wave Amulet from the other Merlopians, allowing Wojira to regain possession of it.[10]

Seabound[]
The Call of the Deep[]
Responding to a distress call, Zane and P.I.X.A.L. set off towards the Endless Sea where a giant octopus was attacking a fishing vessel. After a sudden energy pulse emanated across the area, Zane and P.I.X.A.L. were caught off guard when their vehicles suddenly lost power, plunging the latter deep into the ocean. Fortunately, P.I.X.A.L. was able to reboot her mech in time and escaped to the surface just before reaching the crush zone depths. From this experience, P.I.X.A.L. vowed to improve the ninja's vehicles into being capable of sustaining greater amounts of pressure.
Unsinkable[]
Nya, Zane, Jay, P.I.X.A.L., Lloyd, and Maya descended into the waters of the Endless Sea onboard the Hydro Bounty, intending to make their way to Tartarus Trench.
Five Thousand Fathoms Down[]
Stranded within the trench, Nya and Maya decided to step out with their newly created APS suits to search for the source of the energy pulse. Their exploration led them to the Temple of Wojira, where they encountered Kalmaar and the slumbering serpent herself.
The Wrath of Kalmaar[]
Within the Temple of Wojira, Kalmaar introduced himself to Nya and Maya, whom were now chained against one of the temple's pillars. Although Kalmaar attempted to interrogate the two about the Storm Amulet, he was recalled to Merlopia by his father. Upon arriving in Merlopia, Kalmaar was warned against further provocations against the surface by his father, much to his displeasure. Meanwhile, in his absence, Nya and Maya escaped from the Temple of Wojira and the other stranded ninja restored power to the Hydro Bounty thanks to Jay.
Long Live the King[]
Escaping from the Temple of Wojira, Nya and Maya fled through the surrounding area's hydrothermal vents with a trio of Ripper Sharks in pursuit. Although the two fought off the beasts as best as they could, it would only be thanks to the help of Lloyd and Jay that the sharks were finally driven off.
After regrouping onboard the Hydro Bounty, the team were intercepted by a large platoon of Maaray Guards who ordered the ninja to follow them back to Merlopia for an audience with King Trimaar. Within the Merlopian Palace, the ninja met with Trimaar and revealed his son's machinations to him. Horrified by these accusations, Trimaar summoned Kalmaar and demanded an explanation.
Although initially dismissive of the accusations levied against him, Kalmaar smugly admitted to them after Trimaar specified the accusations surrounding him were regarding the attempted sinking of the Hydro Bounty. Kalmaar then critically injured his father and seized the throne for himself, all while pinning the blame upon the ninja for the attempt on Trimaar's life, forcing the latter group to flee.
Escape from Merlopia[]
Purused by the Maaray guards, the ninja managed to escape to the palace's hanger bay thanks to some assistance from Benthomaar. Together, they escaped upon the Hydro Bounty and traversed across the city of Merlopia with Kalmaar and his forces in hot pursuit. The ninja were ultimately able to evade their pusuers, however, and set course for the Island of the Keepers to secure the Storm Amulet.
The Storm Amulet[]
Within the Merlopian Palace, Kalmaar and Gripe were in the process of reviewing countless Sea scrolls for any information relating to the Storm Amulet. They would be interrupted by Glutinous, however, who had managed to discern the location of the amulet in the Storm Belt.
Elsewhere, the ninja finally arrived along the shores of the Island of the Keepers, seeking to secure the Storm Amulet. After discovering that it had been stolen by Clutch Powers, the ninja returned to their ship where they would be intercepted and attacked by Kalmaar and his forces.
Riddle of the Sphinx[]
Nya waded into the waters surrounding Lighting Lagoon in an effort to summon whales to tow the damaged Hydro Bounty, eventually succeeding in doing so.
Master of the Sea[]
With the Hydro Bounty being towed through the Endless Sea thanks to the whales they had summoned, Benthomaar retold the story of Nyad to his allies. Fortunately, they were able to arrive at Ninjago City just as Kalmaar was preparing to make his escape with the Storm Amulet. When the wicked king dove into the sea, Nya gave chase and seemingly recovered the amulet, though Kalmaar escaped.
The Calm Before the Storm[]
Far out at sea, the Mary Louise found itself caught in a sudden and massive storm. When the ship's captain radioed the coast to warn of the impending storm, he caught a glimpse of Wojira making her way towards Ninjago City with Kalmaar riding atop her forehead. As the two departed the area, the sea returned to its calm nature.
Sometime later, Glutinous swam to Ninjago City to warn the ninja of the impending danger.
Assault on Ninjago City[]
Now in control over Wojira, Kalmaar ordered her to use her power over the Wave to flood Ninjago City, submerging it with the Endless Sea.
Nyad[]
Nya merges with the Endless Sea as Nyad did before her to draw out the sea water from Jay's lungs, as well as to fight Wojira.
The Turn of the Tide[]
After defeating Wojira, Nya (in her merged water form) says goodbye to the ninja and dives into the ocean. Later on, she is seen happily swimming alongside some whales.
Crystalized[]
Farewell the Sea[]
One year after Nya's sacrifice, Cole sought to rebuild the ninja. After recruiting Kai, he, Cole, and Zane set out for Lighthouse Island in an effort to recruit Jay as well, though Jay declined their offer.
In the evening hours that same day, the people of Ninjago City cast paper lanterns out across the Endless Sea in memory of Nya's sacrifice. Some of these lanterns drifted their way to Lighthouse Island where they were found by Jay and the other ninja and inspired the former to rejoin the team.
The Call of Home[]
The Mary Louise was caught in a storm. Kwon one of the crew members fell over board and was about to drown. Nya arrived in the form of a water dragon saving him. The crew recognized her as Nya leading her to vaguely recall her old life. As she swam around she encountered Nyad, who explained that she is like her - one with the sea - eventually their conversation left Nya to conclude she was missing something she should be looking for on the surface. While seeing the lanterns the people of Ninjago had left in her honor it caused her to regain her memory. Trying to return to the Lighthouse Island after a short while her avatar starts falling apart. Returning to Nyad to find a way to regain her human body. Nyad tells her it's not possible to undue merging with the sea and questions why she's sad as she is eternal and endless while her old body is fragile. Nya says it's because it's because where all her loved ones are. While Nya state the possibility if she could give up her elemental powers, she would could return to human. Nyad agrees with the possibility and wishes her good luck on her journey.
The Shape of Nya[]
As an extension of the Endless Sea, Nya made her way through Ninjago's waterways until she reached the Monastery of Spinjitzu, manifesting herself through the sprinkler system of the Samurai X Cave.
A Painful Promise[]
Nya's time as an extension of the Endless Sea ended when Aspheera drained her of her powers, restoring her to her human flesh while severing her connection to the sea.
The Fall of the Monastery[]
While fighting against Nya, Pythor mocked her loss of her elemental power and remarked that she should have stayed in the Endless Sea where she belonged.
Compatible[]
Jay and Nya passed by one of Ninjago City's canals as they made their way to the harbor.
Distress Calls[]
After dispatching a trio of Vengestone Guards with help from Jay, Nya reached into the Endless Sea in an effort to call for help from Benthomaar and the Merlopians.
