Elemental Rider

Synopsis[]

The ninja’s work on the mural at the Monastery of Spinjitzu continues. But has Jay gone into some meditative trance? Or spontaneous self-hibernation? Nope, he’s just daydreaming about the time the ninja used their elemental vehicles to save NINJAGO City. Remember when Lloyd, Pythor and the Venomari (that sneaky snake tribe!) were stealing candy from the good folks of the NINJAGO® world? Well, if you don’t, maybe your memory can be enhanced!^[1]

Plot[]

Zane and Kai recall a time when they fought off Venomari, who were stealing Ninjago City's citizen's belongings. They were easily defeated after using their Golden Weapons in vehicle form.

Trivia[]

• Zane confirms that he can visualize any event that has happened, while he also owns a "selective memory" upgrade making everyone resemble their current appearances.
• The Legacy set appearing in this episode is 70667 Kai's Blade Cycle & Zane's Snowmobile.
• This is the only Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu episode where everyone in its set appears in the show.
• It is possible that the events of the flashback in the next mini-movie, "Blue Lightning," are meant to happen right after the Storm Glider with Jay flew away at the very beginning of the flashback in this episode.

Continuity[]

• This mini-movie marks the first time the Blade Cycle and the Snowmobile are seen since "Day of the Great Devourer."
  • This mini-movie also marks the first time the Sword of Fire and the Shurikens of Ice are seen since "Wrong Place, Wrong Time."
• The mother and son who were saved during the events of Hunted make an appearance in this episode.
  • Rufus McCallister also makes an appearance in this episode.
• Borg Tower appears in this short, although it should not be built during these events. However, since Zane used an enhanced visual augmentation to depict events, this can also apply to the tower.

Errors[]

• Zane speaks through the entire episode without his robotic filter.
• When Kai is about to throw the Sword of Fire at the street lamp, the part of the sword's hilt that Kai is holding can be seen through his hand. This section of the handle is also white.
