Trivia

Trivia[]

  • Alfonzo Frohicky's full name is revealed.
  • Ras knew about Egalt's death even though it happened a few episodes earlier in the episode "The Hollow Ones" but it's possible that his master told him about it.
  • It is unknown why Heatwave, Jiro and the Ice Dragon did not attempt to stop Ras at any point, as Rontu who was also in the Dragon stables yet knew of his presence. Though it is possible that Rontu had told them to stand by so she can deal with the problem alone. Another possible reason is that they did try to fight back after Rontu was defeated only to suffer the same fate.
  • This is the only version of the Spell-Song necessary to awaken each half of the Arc Dragon of Focus that is played by bells.
    • The order of which bell is rung per note can be inferred from the information given in this episode as 154232345321 with 1 being the bell furthest to the left and 5 being the bell furthest to the right.
    • Furthermore, the bells are positioned in order of pitch with the bell on the left being the lowest and bell on the right being the highest.
  • One of Frohicky's quotes in this episode, "Something's coming from the east", was also said by Rox in the flashback of "The Final Game".

Cultural references[]

Continuity[]

  • Frak suggested Wyldfyre not play the Spell-Song, and yet she ended up being the one who completed the other half of it without a single mistake.
  • This is the second time bells have played a key role in Ninjago as a whole. The first time was when Lloyd rang the bell inside the top of the Temple of Light to give the ninja their Elemental Blades and Kimonos and grant himself the power of the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master.

Errors[]

  • Frak says "song-spell" when he should have said "spell-song".
