List of episodes

Legacy of the Green Ninja is the second season of the animated television series Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu (titled Ninjago from the eleventh season onward). The series was created by Michael Hegner and Tommy Andreasen. The season aired from 18 July to 21 November 2012, following the first season titled Rise of the Snakes. It is succeeded by the third season, titled Rebooted.[1]

The second season was originally intended as the final season of the series. The show and its associated Lego Ninjago product line had been planned as a three-year project. However, due to the strong performance of the television series and the product line combined with positive feedback from online forums, the series was continued past the end of 2013.[2]

Legacy of the Green Ninja follows the storyline of the ninja training their new team member Lloyd Garmadon in order to prepare for a prophesied battle. Lord Garmadon returns as an antagonist whose devious plans result in Lloyd being magically aged up to a teenager. The season also introduces Lloyd's mother Misako for the first time. It also reveals the Overlord as the main season antagonist and culminates in the final battle.[3]
