Ninjago: Short stories

Ninja Rank

Here it is! My ranking of the ninja team individually! Read the whole thing!

Disclaimer: This is my opinion, so don't take it as a fact. P.S. I like the ninja almost equally, but there is a favorite.

6. Lloyd Garmadon

You probably think I'm crazy to not put this character in the top three, but there is a reason. Lloyd carries a burden far too great for someone of his chronological age. They shouldn't put so much pressure on a 14-year-old just so he will build character. Sure, he's the green ninja, but couldn't they at least pace him so that he'll  feel more prepared to fight for Ninjago? Other than that he's a great character who's changed a lot over the years.

5. Jay Gordon

I don't hate Jay, but I don't like his constant freak-outs. They don't really have much of a purpose except for humor. What I like about him is that he manages to find the right time to crack a joke, but there are times when he cracks it at the wrong time, like when the giant stone warrior was attacking the team. I'm not sure how I feel about him being a loud-mouth, since I'm a quiet person.

4. Cole Hence

Poor Cole... He could have had a season to be the focus of, but they shortened it to a Halloween special. Why would they do that?!? I really wanted to see Lit' Nelson play a big role in Day of the Departed, but he didn't. They could have made Yang not tell Cole his plan and be more menacing, but they didn't. They could have made the revived villains, not including Pythor, fight alongside Yang, but it didn't happen. Cole deserves a season, you know. Now, the good parts. Cole is a character I am very fond of. I see him as the muscle of the team and a happy person. His love for cake is fun to watch. Like really fun.

3. Nya Smith

Nya is a character I admire a lot. She was initially not allowed to go out on dangerous missions because she did not have formal ninja training and she resisted this by taking on the alias of Samurai X. Eventually, she was found out and became a vital individual to the team. One day, with Morro at large, Wu and Misako tell her of her water abilities. Eventually, she found her true potential and drowned the Preeminent. She has caused more deaths than anyone in the entire series - more than the embodiment of the cursed realm herself. I think she belongs with Jay, not Cole, Ronin, or Nadakhan.

2. Kai Smith

I like him for who he is, not how he looks. (Here's a secret - part of the reason I like this character is because of his movie counterpart.) He's someone you'd want on your side in battle. He's also Nya's older brother, so when she died in the alternate timeline, he felt like crying - I think. This shows that if anyone in his family died, he would probably go to the ends of the earth to carry out their legacy. That's the other part of the reason I like him so much.

1. Zane Julien

My favorite ninja! The nindroid! The master of ice! You get it. The reason he's my favorite is because he was willing to die for Ninjago. It happened when the team ran out of options. No one wanted Zane to die of course, except for his enemies. But he taught us all that the bad guys must go down, even if you go down with your enemy. He is calm and the most strategic when it comes to battle.

So that is my ranking of the ninja team as individuals. If you want me to make specific stories, skits, or even meet the Nexo Knights, let me know in the comments. KNIGHTJAGO FOR LIFE!

Yeah, Sissel G makes comics, too.
