Tournament of Elements or the Oni Trilogy are peak ninjago IMHO. Master of the Mountain and Seabound came close, but nothing can replicate how amazing those early seasons were. I do think Dragons Rising blows most older seasons out of the water though in terms of writing, story, world-building, character development, and humor.

Honestly the Oni Trilogy probably has some of the best writing in the whole show and honestly feels like one of the most well thoughtout seasons of the show. Season 8 and 9 especially was just captivating in the best way, with some animation and unique ideas like showing the Ninja lose for once to convey the stakes and much darker themes and how dangerous Garmaddon truly has become. Harumi is probably one of the most despicable and twisted villains in the show, as she really is the antithesis of everything Lloyd represents, and I absolutely despise how much she physically and mentally broke Lloyd, which is probably a testament to how good of a villain she was, before Crystallised brought her back

I don't know if this is just a headcannon, or it was confirmed somewhere, but my interpretation is that the garmadon that got revived by the masks is not the garmadon that got sacrificed in season 4, but purely the corrupted parts of lord garmadon from seasons 1 and 2. After the final battle, lord garmadon was cleansed of the corruption turning him into sensei garmadon. This means that technically, the corrupted half of him died, and that was specifically what got revived. This is why his appearance is far more similar to Lord garmadon than Sensei garmadon, even including his 4 arms. Emperor Garmadon + Sensei Garmadon = Lord Garmadon

That scene where Lloyd slowly figures out that Harumi is the Quiet One is the single best scene this show ever made. Everything about it is immaculate! The music, the camera work, the voice performances, the dialogue, the symbolism it's all perfectly directed to show us the process of Lloyd slowly realizing the truth. The music starts slow, using a sweet, nice rendition of Harumi's track. But as Lloyd gets closer to the truth, the instruments change and the music becomes harsher and more sinister, this is reflecting how his attitude from Harumi is shifting from lovely princess to cruel Quiet One. The camera also revolves around Lloyd, it's representing the gears turning in his. The revolving starts out slow but then speeds up the truth dawns on him. And of course the voice performances and dialogue are just incredible. The actors had so much chemistry with each other and Harumi is still trying to deceive Lloyd but you can hear the venom slip out from her dialogue every now and then. She's playing this deadly game where she's switching between caring and sweet to hateful and sadistic while Lloyd's actors gives off a preformaces where you can hear his disbelief and sadness but resolve to not let Harumi win. And this all plays out around the Mask of Hatred. There is a reason for this, masks have been a motif throughout this season and now we see why. All the 3 Oni Masks: Deception, Vengeance, and Hatred represent Harumi. And in this cave, Harumi takes off her metaphorical mask of being the nice princess and put on her mask of hatred. Not only does she put on the metaphorical mask of hatred, she also literally put on the Mask of Hatred! This symbolizes her treachery and desire to commit to evil which she shamelessly dons in front of Lloyd and the audience. Everything came together to form the prefect scene. It was built up and executed so well that the audience felt like THEY were being betrayed! It was one of those rare moments in tv where you forget you are watching a show. This scene was just that great and I can't sing its praises enough, it's just a perfect scene!

2:24 killed me 😭😭 All jokes aside this was the best decision the writers ever made for the show. I’ve been following the show since it came out and after s6 I forgot about it which was like the longest year ever? But everything about this trilogy… And s10 is one of my favorite seasons. Has my favorite intro as well. There’s just something about it… It sucks it was only four episodes and the last one was a bit rushed but I love it I wasn’t even opposed to the redesigns imo and (along with DR) I think the oni trilogy has the BEST animation in the entire show. Just a true masterpiece EDIT: Not many people realized this but this is the point where Nya basically took Kai’s role when it comes to Lloyd. Even in seasons after you can still see it

So the LEGO-sets are the most important things. The series is some by-produkt for me and at the end the you make up your own stories with some inspiration from the series. So I will never really like the newer episodes because i just do not play with LEGO anymore (the new sets are dogshit). in fact, IMO peak Ninjago were the first 4 to 5 seasons
