[8] On the Day of the Departed, the ninja hurriedly travel across the Sea of Sand, en-route to the Ninjago Museum of History. Upon their arrival, Wu reminds them of the holiday's significance: for remembering fallen ancestors and cherishing family. Dr. Saunders arrives, greeting Wu and the ninja before presenting the museum's new exhibit, the Hall of Villainy, which houses life-sized mannequins of the major villains fought by the ninja over the years, as well as a plaque describing the rare Yin-Yang lunar eclipse. Cole finds a painting of Master Yang, as well as the Yin Blade, which is on display. Cole calls out to Saunders and asks what the weapon is, but realizes nobody is paying attention to him. Cole hears Yang's voice imploring him to "close the circle." Realizing he's fading away as one of the departed, Cole takes the Yin Blade and sets off to face Yang.

Samukai, Pythor, Generals Kozu and Cryptor, and Master Chen served as the secondary antagonists of the special. Pythor didn't die but he did slip away (first by Garmadon destroying the Great Devourer, then by jumping off a statue).During the credits, Paul Dobson is listed as having voiced Kozu and Pythor, but he only voiced Kozu. His brother, Michael Dobson, voices Pythor. In fact, both Michael and Paul were credited for voicing Pythor with their names sitting next to each other.

Master Class · 2. Green and Gold · 3. The Weekend Drill · 4. Elemental Rider · 5. Blue Lightning · 6. Samurai X-Treme The Helmet of Shadows makes its return in this episode, having last appeared in " Rise of the Spinjitzu Master." In its last appearance, it served the same purpose—for Dareth to control the Stone Army.While Dareth is examining the costumes, a couple of human Anacondrai Cultists can be seen in the crowd. The new designs were a product design choice to make the villains unique to the sets of this wave. [12] This explains why Morro and Samukai did not change in appearance, as they had no minifigure counterparts in this set wave.

Similarly, Morro is the only revived villain to not seek vengeance, but instead redemption and forgiveness. This is likely due to the concluding events in "Curseworld, Part II" when he realizes the true meaning of being the Green Ninja. His claim of having "unfinished business" with Wu in front of the other villains was a ruse to hide his true intentions of helping the ninja.

Kozu had an off-screen but implied death (Lloyd defeating the Overlord destroyed him, then Dareth turned his troops against him). Day of the Departed" was confirmed during San Diego Comic-Con 2016 along with The Hands of Time. During the event, the opening scene of the episode was shown to the audience.

Similarly one could argue that Day of The Departed seems to borrow most of the idea as part of their premise by the looks of it. That being The statues of the villains coming to life during nightfall, and Yang possibly serving as the equivalent of The Tablet Of Ahkmenrah since he is responsible for setting off the events in some way. In the same shot, the Pythor statue can be seen holding the Departed Anacondrai Staff, despite the real Pythor taking it earlier. Tommy Andreasen stated, "We could either do a special or nothing. That's what time and money allowed." [23]Instrumental versions of " We Are Ninjago," " The Rift Whip," and " Day of the Departed" are heard in the first two scenes. This is the first episode not written by Dan and Kevin Hageman due to scheduling conflicts with them writing Trollhunters. [3] It was instead written by David Shayne. Day of the Departed is a Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu TV special, preceded by Season 6 and followed by Season 7. Cole is the focus ninja and mascot character, Yang serves as the main antagonist, and Yang's students and several past villains' henchmen serve as the villainous factions. In " Curseworld, Part II," Nya destroyed the Cursed Realm which consequently resulted in Chen's death. In "Day of the Departed," Nya destroys the mannequin Chen is possessing using one of his own missiles—defeating him a second time. Zane also defeats Cryptor a second time, having indirectly frozen then shattered him apart at the end of "The Titanium Ninja."
