Yin-Yang promise

History[]

The Darkness Comes[]

Cole finds out about the Yin-Yang and gives Jay advice, though he unintentionally compares Nya to an old bandage. Later, Jay tries to start the Yin-Yang but is spooked by Garmadon.

Endings[]

Not wanting to put it off when the Oni prepare to infiltrate the monastery, Jay proposes his Yin-Yang to Nya, who accepts.

Queen of the Munce[]

Jay mentions it when he introduces Nya to Queen Murtessa.

Distress Calls[]

Nya mentions it when Jay tries to get her to send a message to Benthomaar.

Trivia[]

• The Yin-Yang promise was previously stated to not be the Ninjago equivalent of a marriage proposal and a separate love-related custom unique to Ninjago,^[1][2] but it is later said to, at least, be something very similar as when Murtessa asks if Jay is betrothed, Nya says "Yes! He is! To me!"^[3] and in an "interview" written by Tommy Andreasen, Nya states that it is "pretty much an engagement".^[4]
  • It is treated similarly to a marriage proposal, such as in "Into the Breach" when Kai asks Jay "Did you pop the question yet?", which means to propose.
  • Tommy Andreasen has stated, "Foreign customs are often hard to grasp. It’s clearly a love thing."^[5] When asked if there was a ceremony associated with the promise, he stated, "I don’t know. If we ever decide and is relevant it will be in the show."^[6]
• It is currently unknown what happens to the Yin-Yang promise when the couple breaks up.
• Tommy Anderson stated that "Yang in Ninjargan is equivalent to 'better half'. So, a person is always Yin to their Yang."^[7]
