Plot

Plot[]

The Spectral Dragonians siege upon Mysterium before Arin discovers Kur is leading them. Suddenly, everyone watches some citizens get lifted and hollowed like the others. With the spectrals being invisible, Arin holds up the Returning Blade and discovers they can be seen through it. He then sees the spectrals are grabbing the citizens and removing their souls for Kur to collect them with the flute she was holding. Since his weapon is made from Prismatic Steel, Arin tries to fight one, only to end up breaking the blade.

Aboard the Temple Bounty, Jay tells Lloyd and Nya that he'll do the talking when they get to the Land of Madness, but are briefly interrupted by Wyldfyre's piloting, with Nya falling onto Jay at one point, before criticizing her, but she blows them off as it is her ship. Jay soon explains about how he ended up in the Administration after the Merge, having followed some agents, who told him he was an agent and they were told by the Administrator to return him to the Department of Realm Reassignment. Unfortunately, with his memory loss, he ended up sending people they recover to random places, that included Barry and Jenny Nived, all filed in reassignment logs in triplicate every night for weekly and monthly reports, and corporate memos. Wyldfyre questions why they're not heading to the Land of Lee, where Barry and Jenny were sent before Jay tells her it can be accessible by air or boat, but the real entrance is going through the Realm Reassignment area before Lloyd notices a cake that Jay claims that he hopes they don't use it.

Back in Mysterium, Ras demands they resume their task, but Sora refuses before grabbing a lantern and the broken piece of the blade before combining them to make a lamp and has Gandalaria light it up to reveal the Dragonians before they continue running as Gandalaria overhears Ras talk about the Underworld and offers to take them.

The Bounty arrives at the Administration as Jay believes a straight on attack won't work. So, after changing into his suit, he leads them into the Administration, only to be stopped by Roderick Allen and SsssSsss Underwood, who detain them, due to Jay abandoning his post.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • This episode marks the first time cake has appeared in Ninjago: Dragons Rising after being mentioned numerous times in past episodes of the series.
  • Lloyd and Nya were scolding Jay for easily being tricked by the Administration Agents, even if Zane and many of them were tricked many times in the past.

Continuity[]

  • The candy that Etha throws during her segment about Merlopian Dance Rituals and Celebrations looks very similar to the Pillow mint that first showed up in "Unsinkable" in the cabin area on the Hydro Bounty.
  • Arin's remark about Kur implies that the ninja were aware of the Forbidden Five's deaths after Thunderfang betrayed them. This was first mentioned by Kai, who joked that Thunderfang ate the Forbidden Five, highlighting how Thunderfang absorbs souls.
  • In Jay's flashback in the Administration, when Arin appears on his screen before reassigning his parents, Arin's whereabouts are listed as unknown.

Errors[]

  • In Jay's flashback, his office in the Administration is located in a partitioned workspace, however, in his flashback in "Inside the Maze," his office is in a separate room, most likely located right near the Department of Reassignment as he could hear Prentis calling him in "The Administration."
    • It is possible that his office was moved to a cubicle area after the events of Season 1 or he was in the cubicle area before Season 1 and was moved into the later office sometime after that.
  • In the first shot of Ras inside his master's void, his eyes are not glowing.
