March of the Oni is the tenth 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 on April 19, 2019, following the ninth season, Hunted. It is succeeded by the eleventh season, Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu. The tenth season consists of just four episodes, making it the shortest season at the time of release since the original pilot season. The four episodes when combined form a feature-length movie with a runtime of 90 minutes.[1]
The tenth season was the final season to be animated by Wil Film ApS in Denmark before the release of the eleventh season, which marked a significant change in the format of the show. From the eleventh season onwards, the series was animated by WildBrain Studios in Canada and the "Masters of Spinjitzu" subtitle was dropped. The runtime for each episode also changed from 22 minutes to 11 minutes.[2]
March of the Oni marks the conclusion of the Oni storyline that started with the eighth season, Sons of Garmadon, and picks up directly from the ending of the previous season, in which Lord Garmadon warned his son Lloyd of an incoming threat to Ninjago: the Oni. The storyline of the tenth season follows the main ninja characters and their allies, including Garmadon, as they fight the advance of the invading Oni army, who are trying to cover all of Ninjago in darkness. The season concludes with the ninja successfully vanquishing the Oni threat, and Lloyd briefly meeting his grandfather, the First Spinjitzu Master, in a vision, which marks the latter's first present day appearance in the series.[1]
