Trivia
Trivia[]
- Due to it taking place between Dragons Rising Season 3 and Season 4, the ninja won't appear as they are scattered around the Merged Lands.[2]
- However, in-universe, Crossroads' Crosstalk is a weekly series, and "The Whispering Wood" takes place immediately after "Chaos Reigns," meaning that the six weeks in which all episodes were recorded can't have occured.
- The fifth episode, "Convention!" is the first episode that directly addresses an event from the previous season with the spectral invasions, so it's possible that the prior episodes occurred concurrently with Season 3 leading up to that event.
- It is unknown at which point in time is "Caught!" supposed to take place, as in the episode, the Monastery of Spinjitzu seems to be empty, while Rontu was present at the monastery's courtyard throughout the whole first half of Season 4.
- "Celebration!" takes place sometime between "The Whispering Wood" and "A Wonder of the Merged Lands" as Lloyd is attempting to contact Zane, meaning that he hadn't arrived in the woods yet.
- Rapton's storyline of him moving in the Crossroads and opening his own store doesn't fully line up with his appearances in "When Doves Cry" and "Tonight We Hunt Monsters," which shows him still working with the Freebooters.
- Furthermore, Nya states in "The Heartbeat of all the Realms" that Jay stopped being a bounty hunter only around 3 days earlier, implying that the first part of the season took place in the span of days.
- However, in-universe, Crossroads' Crosstalk is a weekly series, and "The Whispering Wood" takes place immediately after "Chaos Reigns," meaning that the six weeks in which all episodes were recorded can't have occured.
- This podcast series confirmed that Gayle Gossip and Blazey H. Speed survived the Merge.
- YouTuber MiniSuperHeroesToday had a small musical portion in each episode.[3]
- Throughout the series, Kreel can't remember any of the ninja's names, including Arin and Sora's, despite her remembering Riyu's name in "Between You and Lee".
- This is the first release for Ninjago: Dragons Rising to use the term "Sensei" and the first time in the franchise since Season 6: Skybound, nearly 10 years ago.
