Original subtitles

WU: Long before time had a name

the first Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago

using four elemental weapons.

But when he passed, a dark presence

sought out to collect them all:

Lord Garmadon.

So I, Sensei Wu, his brother

sought out to find four ninja to collect them first.

* Ninja, go Ninja, go *

* Come on, come on We're gonna do it again *

* We'll just jump up, kick back Whip around and spin *

* Ninja, go Ninja, go *

* Come on, come on, come on And do the weekend whip *

* Jump up, kick back Whip around and spin *

[NINJAS GRUNTING]

KAI: Fire strike!

Oh, my gosh, is that the greatest move

you've ever seen?

COLE: Stop trying to do it yourself.

We need to attack as a team.

JAY: Zane, why are you wasting your special attack on me?

You have to save it.

[NINJAS GRUNTING]

JAY: Fantastic, I'm out of lives.

ZANE: But the lesson lives on

and I am getting the hang of it.

Hee-yah! Okay, now!

[NINJAS GROAN] JAY: What happened?

It took us three hours to get there!

Why would you do that? Why? Just because Lord Garmadon

escaped through a vortex doesn't mean he won't return one day

for the golden weapons of Spinjitzu.

But Sensei Wu, ever since he's been gone

Ninjago has had nothing but peace.

Yeah, peace is boring. There's no one to save.

There's nothing to do.

We can train tomorrow.

Never put off until tomorrow

what can be done today.

Well, I was gonna eat this pizza tomorrow

so if that's the case...

Ow! WU: No pizza for you!

In order to reach your full potential, you must train.

Uh, remember when we did a little thing

called the Tornado of Creation?

I thought that was pretty insane.

Oh. You four have merely

scratched the surface to your full potential.

There are still so many secrets

you have yet to unlock.

You haven't even begun to tap into

what powers your golden weapons hold.

You wanna talk secret powers?

Check this out.

[ALL LAUGHING] Nice.

ZANE: Don't worry, master.

We will be ready when Lord Garmadon returns.

Guys, Lord Garmadon, he's returned!

He was spotted approaching Jamanakai Village.

[ALL GASP]

[ALL GRUNTING]

Uh, th-thanks, uh--

Hurry! Okay!

[***]

[GRUNTS]

Uh, can I help?

Sorry, sis, where we go, danger abounds.

This is a job for the ninja.

Uh... Uh, a little help? Heh-heh.

[DRAGONS ROAR]

COLE: Yeah!

Will they ever reach their full potential?

In time.

Maybe long time, but in time.

[***]

Just like old times, eh, Rocky?

You guys believe what sensei said

about unlocking our full potential?

He may be on to something.

Since we got these golden weapons, we haven't used them.

I wonder what they do.

I, for one, look forward to the future.

If there is more for us to accomplish, let it be.

COLE: Don't know about you

but is any one else a little excited

about battling Lord Garmadon?

I've been looking forward

to trying out some new Spinjitzu moves.

Could be the perfect opportunity.

JAY: Ha-ha. Race you there?

[***]

KAI: Jamanakai Village.

First ninja there wins!

[***]

Ha! I was first. No! No one was faster than me.

My feet were down before yours.

You're all disillusioned. It was clearly me.

[VILLAGERS SCREAMING]

[***]

[CACKLING]

Stay sharp, fellas.

Whatever happens, never let your guard down.

It is I, Lloyd Garmadon!

I demand all the candy in town, or else!

Lloyd Garmadon?

I thought we were gonna face Lord Garmadon.

It's his son. [SIGHS]

Looks like he escaped

his boarding school for bad boys again.

And to think we could have been doing Spinjitzu already.

Uh, give me your candy

or else I'll release the Serpentine on you!

[VILLAGERS JEERING]

[TOY SQUEAKS]

Unh! No, wait!

I asked for candy, not vegetables.

I hate vegetables!

[GRUNTING]

He's gonna have to do a lot better

than use an old bedtime story to scare people.

The Serpentine are real, Kai.

They are not something to joke about.

Serpentine? Real?

We're talking about the ancient race of snake people

who once ruled Ninjago

and were supposedly locked underground?

Uh, sealed in five different tombs

to separate the warring tribes

and ensure they don't unify

to exact their revenge

upon those who put them there.

It was an old wives' tale

to teach kids not to poke our noses

where they don't belong.

Don't you think it's a little suspicious

no one's ever found one of their tombs?

That's because you'd be a fool to look for one.

If there was anything I hated more than dragons

it was snakes, rubber or not.

Don't worry, folks. We'll take care of this.

Nothing to see here.

LLOYD: Bow down to me or suffer my wrath!

I'll give you to the count of three.

One, two...

KAI: What are we supposed to do? Spank him?

LLOYD: Two and a half.

[YELLS]

You've just made me your nemesis!

Mark my words, you'll pay for this!

[VILLAGERS LAUGHING]

Next time, try paying for your candy.

Crime doesn't pay, muchacho.

You can take that to the bank.

Mm, cotton candy.

[GRUNTS]

[DRAGON GROWLING]

Huh? I don't remember putting this here.

That's sensei's bag.

You must have accidentally took it in the rush.

What is it?

It's a scroll, windbag.

I know it's a scroll. But what does it say?

It's written in chicken scratch.

Not chicken scratch.

The ancient language of our ancestors.

Uh, can you read it?

Well, I can try.

This symbol means "prophecy."

Prophecy?

It means it tells the future.

Course. Ha-ha! I knew that.

ZANE: "One ninja will rise above the others

"and become the Green Ninja

the ninja destined to defeat the dark lord."

JAY: Oh, look, a picture.

KAI: "Dark lord"? Hold on.

You think they mean Lord Garmadon?

Wait a minute. Is that us?

Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?

Like how good I'm gonna look in green?

Ha! Isn't it obvious I'm gonna be the Green Ninja?

The color obviously suits me.

Technically, I am the best.

COLE: Everyone, stop it!

Remember why sensei brought us together

in the first place: we're a team.

We weren't meant to see this

and probably for good reason.

Come on, let's head back home.

We have training to do.

It's time I added some finesse to my routine.

Well, I could use some exercise.

Yeah, I've gotta work on some new moves.

Could I be the Green Ninja?

LLOYD: Stupid ninja.

I'll show them who they're dealing with.

[METAL CLANGS]

Hey, what is...?

[GRUNTS]

[***]

[RUMBLING]

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

MALE VOICE: You are out of your mind

to venture so far away from home, little one.

[GASPS]

Look into my eyes.

Give up your mind.

I will control you.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

[CHUCKLES]

No, I will control youfrom now on.

What shall you have us do, master?

Us?

[***]

Uh...

My own army of snakes.

[CACKLES]

So then we all agree.

The prophesy states that one of us

will become the Green Ninja

and the issue will not rest

until it is decided.

May I suggest a tournament?

Last ninja standing is the best.

And will be declared the Green Ninja.

I love it.

[NYA GRUNTING AND PANTING]

Huh? Oof!

Hey, Nya, closer to beating

your brother's speed record?

Ah. I'm getting there.

Heard what happened in town.

Just a false alarm?

KAI: Yeah.

Uh, but we're gonna need the space.

Sorry, sis.

Two matches, then the winners of each

face off for the title.

Armor's for our own protection.

It's time to see what these babies can do.

Hey, Nya, wanna stay

and watch me mop the floor with them?

No, thanks. I think I'll just visit Jamanakai Village.

Knock yourselves out.

Alright, first up:

Kai versus Jay.

Ninja, go!

[COLE GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

[***]

Next up, Cole versus Zane.

Ninja, go!

[GRUNTING]

[***]

[GASPS]

For the prize and the title of best ninja

blah, blah, ninja, go.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[***]

Very impressive. Yes!

[GROWLS]

It's too hot!

It's burning. Fire!

[GRUNTS]

[***]

[YELLS]

What were you thinking?

We were trying to figure out

who was the Green Ninja.

Ow! Uh, heh, did I say Green Ninja?

No, sorry, ahem, what I said was "lean."

You were not supposed to see this.

But sensei, we wanna know.

Which one of us is the chosen one?

None of you

if you don't unlock your full potential.

KAI: But my sword, it was so bright.

Is this what you meant by unlocking our golden weapons?

You are only at the beginning

and the road is long and winding.

But yes, this is what I meant.

If this is what it takes for you to train then so be it.

But none of you are near the level

of what it takes to be the Green Ninja.

[VILLAGERS YELLING]

What now?

[VILLAGERS YELLING]

Take the candy.

Take it all!

[CACKLING]

[***]

[ALL GROANING]

This makes no sense, general.

raiding an entire town for sweets?

You will do as I command

because I hold the staff.

[ALL GRUNTING]

[***]

The Serpentine are back!

Everyone in Jamanakai Village is in danger!

Calm down, sensei. We were just there.

It was some kid who says he's--

The spirit smoke does not lie.

An ancient evil has been released.

Nya's there right now.

Nya?

[***]

KAI: Stay close. Stay together.

COLE: Would we do it any other way?

[ALL SCREAMING]

[CHUCKLES]

I'm never coming down from this sugar high.

[CHEERS]

Sorry to bust your buzz, little Garmadon.

But it's already past your bedtime.

Get them!

[RATTLING]

Seize them!

The Serpentine? They're real?

[VILLAGERS GROANING]

It's not just them we have to worry about.

[ALL GROANING]

The whole village has been hypnotized.

[VILLAGERS GROANING]

No. Our weapons are too unstable.

We could do more harm than good.

I guess that leaves us with: run!

[***]

Huh? Nya?

You're okay. Barely.

They've hypnotized everyone in town.

Mind control. How is this possible?

When you hear them rattle their tails

don't look in the eyes. That's how they get you.

What are we supposed to do? We can't use our weapons

and now we gotta fight with our eyes closed? Perfect.

The snake with the staff is the general. He's in-charge.

If we can get the staff from him it holds the antivenin.

If we get that, we can save everyone.

Look, guys. Forget about the whole Green Ninja thing.

Let's make sensei proud.

The four of us, we're a team.

Now you're talking.

Oh, and Nya, you can be our honorary member.

Gee, thanks.

[***]

[HISSING]

You wanna play?

How about a little Spinjitzu?

Ninja, go!

[KAI GRUNTING]

[GROANS]

Okay, we're really out of shape.

[SERPENTINE LAUGH]

Ha! Consider this a warning, ninja.

[CACKLING]

ZANE: Ninja, go!

Aah! My candy!

Sensei was right.

Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today.

We should've dealt with you the first time around.

Aah! Retreat!

Retreat!

[***]

Go ahead, give me a reason.

[RATTLING]

Look into my eyes.

I control you.

You control...

NYA: Cole!

You have the antivenin.

[GRUNTS]

By golly, you're right.

Quick, the fountain.

Good idea.

[***]

[VILLAGERS SIGH]

[VILLAGERS CHATTERING]

We're sorry, sensei.

If we had dealt with Lloyd before he became a problem

none of this would have been necessary.

Even lessons learned the hard way

are lessons learned.

Hm. A great evil has been released.

I fear troubling times will come.

This is only the beginning.

Then we will train

and be ready for the Serpentine.

It may not be Lord Garmadon

but that doesn't mean we won't bring our A game.

Help us train

help us realize our potential.

Yeah, teach us the secrets

behind the weapons of Spinjitzu.

Hm. There is much to teach.

We must return to the monastery.

[SIGHS]

When am I gonna get my own dragon?

Patience, Nya.

Your time will come.

LLOYD: Uh, candy.

I need candy.

The boy set us free.

He is a child.

He is not one of us.

I may not have the staff

but I am still your general.

Stand down!

You coward.

We all know he is under Lloyd's spell.

You are second in command, and still you do nothing?

Now was not the time.

I still hold the key to destroy the ninja

and when I do that, everyone will see

it is I who should be in control.
