Animal fighting styles

“With the power of brown, you're about to go down.”

— Dareth to Karlof in "Radio Free Ninjago"

Animal fighting styles are martial arts techniques currently only used by Dareth in the world of Ninjago. The techniques are ineffective in traditional combat but allow the user to communicate with animals.

History

History[]

Pirates vs. Ninja[]

Dareth challenges one of the ninja to a battle to see if they are worthy to train in his dojo, and he shows off his animal fighting style techniques, but he is easily defeated by Kai's Spinjitzu. Later when he ambushes the pirates on their ship and fails, he is forced to walk the plank. As Dareth approached his inevitable doom, he called upon the power of the dragon, and at that moment, Lloyd and the Ultra Dragon flew in to rescue him.

Rise of the Spinjitzu Master[]

Dareth threatens the Overlord by saying he will unleash the power of the dragon and the penguin but flees when the Overlord uses his missiles to shoot Dark Matter at him.

The Curse of the Golden Master[]

When the Ninjago City Aquarium's tank broke, Dareth used the martial art to defend Sally from a shark.

Trivia[]

In LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin, the technique is called Zoojitzu.
In "Riddle of the Sphinx," Nya learns to use her water powers to control whales. This is similar to the way Dareth used his animal fighting style to communicate with sharks in "The Curse of the Golden Master."
