LEGO Ninjago heroes Kai, Zane, Jay and Cole want to wish you a happy birthday, but they're going to need all their Spinjitzu skills to do it!^[1]

Plot

Plot[]

The four original ninja walk down a hall to the viewer, with Cole carrying a cake. Samukai, Cryptor, and Kozu each at one point come out of a purple portal to attack them, and the ninja defeat them by seemingly banishing them to another realm in a purple flash of light. When Jay asks who will clean up the mess caused by the fighting, a broom falls into his hands from another purple-lit realm breach, and the other ninja laugh.

Trivia

Trivia[]

This episode was animated by Meanlow Studio rather than WILFilm ApS.^[2]
The villains appear with their "Day of the Departed" designs while the ninja are in their Fusion suits.
While Samukai and Cryptor wield their Departed Blades from "Day of the Departed," Kozu has four Butterfly Swords as he did in Legacy of the Green Ninja.
The scar from Kai's minifigure's face design can faintly be seen, and in some moments his face looks exactly like his minifigure's angry expression.
The poses the Ninja are in when they sing the last line, especially Zane, slightly resemble them practicing dance moves with Lou in "The Royal Blacksmiths."
The cake model was later reused in a promotional poster for Seabound with Cole.^[3]

Errors

Errors[]

Despite wearing his mask, Zane does not have the light blue visor over his eyes that he did whenever he wore his mask in seasons 4 through 7. This matches his Fusion Armor minifigure from 70624 Vermillion Invader, which does not have a blue visor face option, though he lacks the scratch seen on the minifigure's head (which was not present in the TV series until Season 8).
Zane is missing the robotic filter on his voice present in the TV series from Season 4 onward.
For a split second at the beginning everything is unrendered and you can see some debug information at the top left corner.
