Trivia
Trivia[]
- This marks the first time that a Ninjago episode title has been reused. The title of this episode was previously used in the tenth episode of the eleventh season from the original series.
- This is the first full 22 minute segment in the franchise where none of the original Ninja are present.
- While they have all been absent in several 11 minute episodes in the past, at least one of the Ninja appeared in a neighbouring episode.
- Lobbo's line "Let's all agree not to tell Lobbo's mother about this!" finally confirms in the main series that Lobbo's mother is currently alive and keeps contact with her son. This was first revealed in Crossroads' Crosstalk episode, "Convention!" and implied in the episode "The Spectral Lands" from Season 3.
- This episode confirms that Arin and Frak were at least 10 years old when Frak moved away, and at least 10 years old when the Merge happened.
Continuity[]
- It is confirmed that Arin and Frak were alive during Season 3: Rebooted and witnessed the Battle of New Ninjago City.
- However, it is currently unknown if Frak was there when the Nindroids attacked the Tomb of the Stone Army.
- Frak said P.I.X.A.L. left to do a couple of things before Zane and the other ninja returned. Her fate would be revealed in "Desperately Seeking Sora".
Errors[]
- Frak and Reginald pronounce "Serpentine" ser-pen-TYNE, which is the actual pronunciation of the real word. Though this could just be Reginald’s personal preference.
