Overview
The following is a list of all the themes and soundtracks first introduced in the fifth season of Ninjago.
Morro's theme
Morro's theme[]
Morro's theme was often reprised in his presence or whenever he was mentioned. The theme often gives a sinister vibe, and is played with a viola and occasionally horns. Morro's theme is sometimes heard in a more lighthearted variant; the track "Ghost Story" starts out with a positive rendition of the theme that becomes more aggressive and sinister. Other tracks that exemplify Morro's theme include "Wind Leaves the Sails" and "Morro vs. Ninja." Morro's theme was briefly reprised for the TV special Day of the Departed, with a more positive rendition being played to show his redemption.
Master Yang's theme
Master Yang's theme[]
Master Yang's theme appeared numerous times in that season and in the TV special, "Day of the Departed." The theme is often played using vocals, strings, and organs, which give the theme an eerie and mysterious vibe. Yang's theme appeared frequently throughout the episode "The Temple on Haunted Hill," while references to the theme appeared throughout Season Five. A sad and tragic version of the theme is played when Cole turned into a ghost. It is also used to represent The Preeminent, but she has no connection to Yang.
In this season, Yang's theme was exemplified by tracks such as "The Legend of Sensei Yang" and "Iron Sharpening Iron." Yang's theme later returned in "Day of the Departed," in which it was exemplified by new tracks such as "Sensei Yang's Story" and "Sensei Yang's Sacrifice."
Ronin's theme
Ronin's theme[]
Ronin's theme was introduced in season five. It is mainly played with guitar strings, giving the bounty hunter a sly and distrustful vibe. The theme is exemplified by the track "Ronin" (titled "Ronan" by Vincent and Kramer). The track returned in Ronin's subsequent appearances in the show, including "Ninjago City vs. Ninja."
Nya's theme
Nya's theme[]
Nya's theme was introduced in season five, and represents her finally unlocking her water element. The theme is often played using flutes, brass and string instruments. The theme has a very confident and uplifting vibe, especially when Nya puts her water element to use. Nya's theme is exemplified by the track "Nya's True Potential," which plays as she drowns the Preeminent. The theme has appeared various times since then, such as "Big Trouble, Little Ninjago," when Nya ruptures a water pipe to fight Lord Garmadon in. Many new renditions of the theme were composed for Seabound.
