Garmadon (The LEGO Ninjago Picture)
"You are Oni. But only in grade. In your heart I sense uncertainty and doubt. Part of you longs to sympathize these pitiful beings. To be one of them. Your hopes weaken yous."

He is the Kickoff Spinjitzu Master'southward firstborn son, Wu's older brother, Misako's husband, and Lloyd's father. Garmadon grew upwards learning the art of the ninja alongside his brother. As a child, Garmadon was bitten by the Not bad Devourer and infected with evil, which led him down a darker path through which he would exist continually tempted during his fourth dimension as one of Ninjago'due south heroes. Around the time of the Serpentine War, Chen had Garmadon sign Wu's beloved alphabetic character for Misako, leading her to choose Garmadon. Misako had a son named Lloyd, whom he cared for deeply despite his corrupted soul. Ultimately, he lost himself to the venom's influence and became an evil warlord, banished to the Underworld after a climactic battle with Wu.
After allying with the Skulkin and Serpentine to claim the Gilded Weapons, Garmadon later joined The Overlord—only to be used as a vessel for his rebirth. After Lloyd defeated The Overlord, Garmadon was purified of evil and reunited with his family, hoping to absolve for his misdeeds.

He oppressed its citizens and sought out his son, who led a brave Resistance. After Wu and the original ninja returned to Ninjago, Lloyd defeated Garmadon by refusing to fight, and his father lost his powers. Garmadon was sent to Kryptarium Prison house but warned of coming darkness.
When the Oni invaded, Garmadon managed to convince Lloyd to release him, to aid the ninja fight. After using the Tornado of Creation with Wu and the ninja to beat out the Oni, he headed off to parts unknown.

In his electric current form, Garmadon is a tall, four-armed man with a demonic visage and red eyes. Following his resurrection in Sons of Garmadon, Garmadon gains a modified appearance of his "Lord" grade from The LEGO Ninjago Movie. He now wears blackness samurai armor that has the characters "evil" in Ninjargon, is croaky on the left side of his chest, and reveals his exposed rib-cage, which has purple oozes coming out of his trunk, along with a towering horned helmet. Beneath his helmet is long white hair pulled back into a top-knot. The sash around his waist is at present navy blueish and he is similar to his appearance before he was turned good, a difference being that the glint in his eyes is now yellowish instead of night grey and his teeth aren't always visible.
In his youth, he had brownish hair that varied in shade, but is usually depicted on the darker side. As a child, Garmadon appeared as a normal boy with a bowl-cut. Originally, his face appeared identically to his son'due south at the same age, while his eyebrows have changed and his eyes appear larger in more than contempo appearances. Later he was bitten past the Devourer, his eyes briefly turned scarlet. As a immature teenager, he had long, tousled hair tied upwards with a imperial bandana, identical to Lloyd in The Island. He had a minor scar on his left cheek. He wore a dark blue chestplate and pants with a purple chugalug and brown knee joint pads. He as well wore brown shoulder pads. As an older teenager/young developed, he had a swept-back, tousled hairstyle similar to Lloyd's original teenage class, and his eyes glowed cherry-red while being tempted by the venom. He wore a blackness kimono with ruby-red kanji, showing his status equally a Spinjitzu Principal. Because of the Peachy Devourer's bite, in the final stages of his corruption, his pare became pale and his eyes turned red permanently, like the evil ninja he created.
Upon being struck by lightning and falling into the Underworld, he gained a very similar appearance to Mystake'southward truthful form. His torso became completely blackness, with white facial markings, exposed ribs, and visible teeth. His hair gained a spiked/on-end appearance while turning black like the remainder of his body.

Resurrected Garmadon without his helmet
At the end of "Rise of the Spinjitzu Master", Garmadon was reverted to a normal man, free of the evil energy that had corrupted him. He appeared equally an old man similar in appearance to Master Wu, but with a full caput of graying hair instead of a white beard. His old outfit had been transformed into the "special" kimono his brother wore in "Boxing Between Brothers," a predominantly black kimono with white sleeves and golden Chinese characters are written on the front of the kimono.
In Rebooted, his face up is slightly different, and he has donned an official master gi that was generally blackness with a white sleeved, gray overcoat and a light-green chugalug, forth with a crest of a blackness dragon in a gold circumvolve. This same symbol appears on his back.
In The Tournament of Elements, his gi remained more often than not black, merely its pattern was altered to have gold accents. His pilus appears to be a darker shade of gray than before. It was also revealed that he had an Anacondrai tattoo on his back from his days every bit Chen'south correct paw. He later turned into an Anacondrai merely was reverted to normal later his banishment to the Cursed Realm.
Age
Garmadon is thousands of years onetime. He and his younger brother's long lifespan is a result of them beingness the sons of the First Spinjitzu Principal, who also lived for thousands of years earlier finally succumbing to his mortality. According to Mystake in "Ii Lies, I Truth," this is due to their Oni blood, in addition to their dragon heritage.
Garmadon and his brother have a peculiar aging pattern. Ages ago, they were children when he was bitten, and they grew to be young men by the fourth dimension their begetter passed away.[ane] Their crumbling stagnated at some point, and a millennium later, they were still physically in their late teens during the events of the Serpentine War, as Garmadon stated in "Only One Tin can Remain" that he was Lloyd's age while training under Chen. Decades after, they were physically in their early thirties when he was banished.[ii] Simply a mere decade later, past the beginning of the events of the series, they both appeared equally one-time men, though Garmadon would only evidence his true age after he was purified of his evil, around the age of Wu.
For possible explanations on Garmadon and Wu'due south seemingly rapid aging, see the Trivia department.
Relationships
Principal article: Garmadon's relationships
Personality
Garmadon in his youth.
As a small child, Garmadon was described every bit being "thoughtful and caring". While his younger brother, Wu, was impatient and reckless, he was cautious of disobeying their father.[3] He appeared to have a stubborn streak, as he was frustrated when he couldn't understand his father's wisdom and refused to trust Aspheera on the grounds of her being a snake, nigh coming to blows with Wu over the latter. Even so, he was willing to put aside his differences with his brother to defeat the sorceress. Afterwards Garmadon and Wu stopped Aspheera's rule over Ninjago and both lost their father's trust, their personalities inverse, with Garmadon becoming reckless and impatient while Wu became the responsible one.[four][5]
This as a upshot, led to Garmadon being bitten by the Great Devourer, and kickoff to take on darker, more megalomaniacal aspects to himself, which acquired him to turn against his family even when they sought to assist him. He would of a sudden become temperamental and experience aggressive outbursts. Equally a teenager, he was in deprival over the fact that anything was wrong with him, while it was articulate to his brother and male parent he was no longer the same boy. He did his all-time to fight the evil within him, showing great determination by keeping the fauna'due south venom from fully controlling him for ages.
Garmadon struggling with his abuse.
Under Chen'south influence, the Neat Devourer's venom would continue to grow and pester at him. As a event of his primary's teachings, Garmadon felt the need to win at all costs and would even resort to blatant cheating in gild to achieve his goals. He would fifty-fifty go so far as to lie in order to win Misako'south eye, though, despite all this, his true, good side managed to prevail at times, such equally through guilt and virtue.
Likewise, when Chen sought to ally with the Serpentine, Garmadon managed to summon enough of his forcefulness to resist the temptation given to him by both his master and the venom and refused, siding with his friends and family unit. During the war, he went on to fight with bravery and displayed cracking intelligence subsequently creating the Serpentine's only known weakness, the Sacred Flutes.
Garmadon completely consumed by the evil within.
Decades after his victory during the Serpentine War, despite his dear of Misako and their son, Garmadon somewhen was unable to fight on any longer and ultimately succumbed to the influence of the Corking Devourer'southward venom. Under its control, he became noticeably far more sinister and megalomaniacal, ruthlessly insulting his male parent'due south legacy and showing no hesitation attempting to murder his blood brother over the Golden Weapons. Upon being banished to the Underworld, his evil continued to fester every bit he mercilessly stole Samukai's authority, refusing to give up, fifty-fifty in exile.
From there, he would hone his skills of manipulation, and afterward as well displayed mocking sarcasm to his enemies, relishing in their dilemmas. He was likewise noticeably vengeful towards his brother, even more so as a upshot of his adjournment and because he blamed Wu for the Great Devourer infecting him.
One thing that the venom of the Devourer failed to suppress, all the same, was his love for Misako and Lloyd; this same quality was plenty for Garmadon to briefly side upwardly with Wu in society to rescue Lloyd from the Serpentine; even saving Wu several times and genuinely thanking him for watching over Lloyd. Besides, he was unable to bring himself to harm Lloyd, even nether the influence of the Overlord, instead feigning eagerness to fight, when in reality he was insecure over his deteriorating relationship with his loved ones. Indeed, he would also fight dorsum the venom by offer to salve Misako past having her rule at his side and likewise showing betrayal upon learning she had tricked him.
Subsequently countless years of inner torment, Garmadon was finally at peace.
After existence purged of the Great Devourer'south venom later a decade of scheming and manipulating, Garmadon's true, proficient side finally begins to show through. However, as a effect of his crimes, he was left to feel tremendous guilt. To cope, he began to live in confinement, preparation pupils to defend themselves, and was extremely pacifistic, relying exclusively on the Art of the Silent Fist in combat. Despite this, he was unwilling to let his personal guilt place his loved ones in danger, and he promptly withdraws his vow in gild to subsequently rescue his son and friends. Additionally, Garmadon would later refuse to accept hostages, regardless of who they were, in order to accomplish any goals.
As a main, Garmadon was likewise noticeably different in that while his blood brother was more often than not more cryptic and vague, Garmadon was far more down-to-world and practical, making his advice and instruction to the ninja more than directly and non hesitating to emphasize their wariness of his quondam chief Chen. He as well acted very fatherly to his son and built a greater relationship with him.
Ultimately, without the venom of the Bang-up Devourer, Garmadon proved to be incredibly selfless likewise; upon the need, he willingly had himself banished to the Cursed Realm in order to save Ninjago from the Anacondrai warriors and likewise emphasized the defeat of the Preeminent over his own prophylactic. Considering of his virtuous and altruistic side, for a time, Garmadon changed his legacy from that of a vile Dark Lord to a benevolent hero, his good side being remembered forever by his friends and family unit.
The newly-reborn Garmadon, supposedly soulless and devoid of all of the light in his center.
Once resurrected via the Oni Masks, initially information technology appeared that all of Garmadon's positive traits were obliterated; he himself proclaiming that of all his previous roles, merely 1 returned—destroyer. All of Garmadon'southward dear for his son and family, something fifty-fifty the Great Devourer's venom could non destroy in his previous evil cocky, had all but vanished. This was seen when Garmadon had shown no remorse or hesitation in attacking his son, married woman, and de-aged brother.
His desire to dominate and lust for power is all that remains in his soulless eye. Despite this, Lloyd nevertheless believed there was some part of his father left within him and desperately attempted to bring this out of the newly reborn Garmadon, but to no avail.
Since then, Garmadon has shown his brutality and willingness to practice anything to stay in ability, whether that be threatening or even killing members of his own loyal forces, even Harumi herself, should they fail him. As Ninjago's dictator, he shows lilliputian mercy to those who ally with or may harbor his son, capturing them should they be found.
Garmadon struggles with his hesitance to destroy his son and reach his full potential.
In spite of all this, a strange oddity exists within his behavior. Garmadon has shown slight bits of mercy. Besides, not killing whatsoever of the ninja'due south allies and sparing Harumi, despite her failures, Garmadon has shown mercy to Lloyd. Initially facing him without holding back, and thus, unlocking his Truthful Potential, Garmadon didn't terminate Lloyd off. This was seen over again, when he did the same equally his Colossus creation was on the verge of crushing his son and his friends and stopped after hearing his son's pleas.
Confused by his own persistent hesitance, Harumi helped Garmadon realize that though but his Oni side resurrected, his amore for Lloyd all the same encompassed all parts of him. When Harumi became his honorary daughter and she died, Garmadon was deeply saddened and enraged at Lloyd and tried to destroy Ninjago City. Despite this rage, Garmadon later saved Lloyd from sure death twice and implored him to fight him rather than killing him instantly. Garmadon revealed that his true motivation for unlocking his Truthful Potential was to go powerful enough to defend Ninjago against a dark new threat he witnessed while in the Departed Realm, showing that despite his evil, he truly wanted to protect Ninjago and he profoundly respected what his begetter created, though his desire was to ultimately conquer information technology.
Information technology was likely his desperation to save Ninjago that eclipsed all his previous attachments. Garmadon accepted defeat after he lost his powers, request Lloyd to finish him without bothering to continue fighting, and instead of showing rage when Lloyd spared him, he chose to warn his son of the incoming darkness, even going as far as to uncharacteristically plead to his son to believe him equally he is taken to Kryptarium Prison, evidently entrusting the responsibleness of defending Ninjago from the dark threat he saw to his son.
Garmadon tries to understand the significant of life.
Garmadon's desperation to salvage Ninjago from the Oni makes him fully willing to actually call his son and ask for his help. Although he was still considered the ninja's archnemesis and he treated them rather condescendingly, he is non heartless, equally shown by how he repeatedly saves Lloyd even though he claimed information technology was to increase their chances of victory and attempts to fathom the ninja's sadness after Cole was thought to take died. His time with the ninja during the Oni invasion impacted him to the point he developed a longing to understand humans and be one of them; he even willingly gave the Armor of the Gold Master to them so that they tin reforge the Gilded Weapons to boxing the Oni. With the agreement almost Garmadon'south true intent clear to them, the ninja are more than happy to permit Garmadon battle confronting the Oni leader Omega in return. Although at first, he refused to bring together the ninja to create the Tornado of Creation, Garmadon had a change of heart once he saw the Oni's darkness brainstorm to spread over the monastery's landscape wall, covering a picture of Lloyd'southward face. He immediately aided them in defeating the Oni for good. Despite being relieved that the Oni were gone and the ninja were victorious, Garmadon decided to leave. However, Garmadon did take fourth dimension to look dorsum at Wu, who briefly bids him cheerio, leaving on an amicable note in spite of his crimes.

Appearances
Etymology
The name "Garmadon" was created by mixing up most of the letters of the word "Armageddon."[14] This was most likely thought of by a writer named Robert Henley.[fifteen] He was originally meant to be called "Demic", from the give-and-take "pandemic".[16][17] The Hageman Brothers and Tommy Andreasen disliked the name "Garmadon", just considering "Demic" could not be cleared by the legal department, "Garmadon" is what they settled with.[18]
Behind the scenes
In early on concepts, Garmadon, non Lloyd, was the one intended to release the Serpentine.[19]
Though Garmadon is his start and only proper name, it became his son's last name, which is a custom in some existent-world cultures.[20] He and his brother do not take a last name. This seems to be because the Starting time Spinjitzu Chief was unnamed.[21]
Despite the fact that he still had Destruction,[seven] his Spinjitzu color was erroneously different in the Tournament of Elements intro, being a dull silver colour instead of dark purple.[22]
Information technology was also a tedious silver in fine art for Tournament of Elements.[23]
According to Tommy Andreasen, the reason for Garmadon'south death in Possession was that the Hageman Brothers felt that there was only room for 1 sensei, and to progress Lloyd's grapheme.[24][25]
It was stated that, as of February 2018, in that location are no plans to bring Garmadon's good class dorsum.[26]
Garmadon and the Overlord are the only villains to be the main antagonists in more than one season.
Garmadon, forth with Iron Businesswoman, is the chief antagonist of Hunted. He is likewise the main antagonist of the pilot episodes and the kickoff arc of Legacy of the Green Ninja.
Garmadon is like to Anakin Skywalker, as both gained a nefarious reputation when turned to the dark side, transformed into a black-clad entity, manipulated by a greater evil who brought them to the dark side (Overlord for Garmadon and Palpatine for Anakin), and finally able to redeem themselves with assistance of their archenemy that turned out to exist their son.
The deviation, however, whereas Anakin died in peace shortly later he redeemed himself, Garmadon survived longer.
Their LEGO minifigures as well accept the aforementioned pilus slice, albeit in dissimilar colors. Garmadon had the exact aforementioned hair piece as Anakin's minifigures from Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars.
Garmadon is also like to Scar from Disney'southward The Lion King franchise as both plough confronting their brothers after being bitten past a ophidian and corrupted by its venom.
In February 2018, Tommy Andreasen stated that Garmadon may not have found his True Potential.[27] This was confirmed when he reached his Truthful Potential in the penultimate episode of Sons of Garmadon.
In his reborn form, the word "evil" is written on his armor in Ninjargon.
Garmadon is the tertiary graphic symbol to announce the championship card at the outset of an episode, having kickoff announced it in "Big Trouble, Little Ninjago", the second existence Lloyd throughout the rest of Flavour 8.
Garmadon and Ultra Violet are the merely members of the Sons of Garmadon to appear in all the episodes of Hunted.
Garmadon in Season nine is like to Logan from Fable III; both were thought to be some tyrant to rule their respective areas and had a resistance against them led by someone related to them but they were really trying to foreclose coming darkness that the protagonists now has to deal with.
As Lord Garmadon, he has half-dozen minifigures with unlike appearances: original, with iv arms, possessed, Reborn, and Legacy (with 4 arms and another with 2 arms).
On the LEGO website, a picture of the Overlord was inaccurately shown on Garmadon's description,[28] though this was later corrected.[thirteen]
Garmadon's March of the Oni characterization is Tommy Andreasen's favorite portrayal of him because he is "both intimidating, scheming, playful, sarcastic, funny, and with some compassion. Struggling to understand himself and humanity."[29]

Purified Garmadon in "Rise of the Spinjitzu Main" and "The Surge" has Wu's face without the beard and 3D mouth. This face up design is also used for "Tommy Wu" in the 2022 blooper reel. Purified Garmadon's face up design was changed for the subsequent seasons, perhaps in order to more than easily differentiate Garmadon and Wu.
Co-ordinate to Tommy Andreasen, the in-universe reason for Garmadon's face design change could be age.[30]
Garmadon is the virtually oftentimes actualization villain in sets because he appears in most seasons, those being the pilot, 1, ii, iii, 4, and 5 (in his master form), 8, nine, and ten.
Mark Oliver compared the resurrected Garmadon to the monster from Mary Shelley'southward Frankenstein, describing how Garmadon lacked full sensation and was in awe at the surround around him at commencement, which tin can be heard through his more primitive-sounding vocalism.[31] The Hageman Brothers also said they and Oliver "talked literary references when discussing the new Garmadon."[32]
An original idea for the ending of "Endings" had Garmadon flying away on Firstbourne with the 4 Gilt Weapons to create a new realm every bit the Starting time Spinjitzu Master had done.[33]
Regarding Garmadon'southward electric current location, Tommy Andreasen said, "He has Oni blood and showed some power to shape-shift. He could be anywhere and anyone."[34]
Trivia
Lord Garmadon has led iv of the 19 major villainous factions at some betoken in the series: the Skulkin, the Serpentine, the Rock Ground forces, and the Sons of Garmadon.
Of the groups he did non command, he did take some relation to them in some way shape, or course except for the Sky Pirates, the Blizzard Samurai, Unagami's army, the henchmen, the Re-Awakened, the Keepers, and the Maaray Guards.
He once dressed as a Nindroid equally a disguise, he became an Anacondrai along with the Anacondrai Cultists, he was in the Cursed Realm with the Ghost Warriors, wore Vermillion armor in a vision, his father originated from the Realm of Oni and Dragons like the Dragon Hunters, he is part Oni, he helped Wu defeating Aspheera, the current leader of the Pyro Vipers, and he was a Kryptarium inmate from his defeat in "Dark-green Destiny" to his release in "The Darkness Comes."
"Spellbound" explains the reason Garmadon was called "Lord Garmadon" at the offset of the evidence: he defeated Clouse to accomplish the championship of Lordship from Chen. It also explains how he won Misako's heart by signing the love letter written past Wu, which Chen intercepted.
Garmadon is the just villain to announced in an intro opening shot as of Hunted.
In "Curseworld, Office II," in the Preeminent, he appears to exist a concrete being, non a ghost. This is because when someone is sent to the Cursed Realm, their physical trunk remains intact; information technology'due south only when they go out the Cursed Realm that they become a ghost, as seen with Clouse.[35]
He is the offset villain who appears in the series to have a vendetta against Wu, followed by Morro, the Time Twins, and Aspheera. He has been the main antagonist for 3 seasons, the but villian to do then, so far.
There have been many parallels between Garmadon'south statements or teachings from earlier and after he was evil or from before and after his initial death.
In many episodes when he was evil, he said he wanted to make Ninjago into his ain image, and in "The Corridor of Elders," a statue of him was carved into the stone in the Corridor of Elders, literally making part of Ninjago into his paradigm. In the episode, he told Lloyd, "I yearned to make the world in my paradigm. I never realized I already had, in you lot."
In "All of Null," Garmadon told Lloyd that "Every boy has a pick to grow upward to be whoever they want to exist," reflecting on how Lloyd was able to choose his own destiny, unlike Garmadon. Later on in the episode, before saying goodbye, he told Lloyd, "You're a adept boy. Presently, you'll be a swell man." In "Curseworld, Role II," Garmadon'southward final on-screen words to his son were "There comes a time when every boy must become a man. What sort of man, is upward to him."
In "Curseworld, Office Ii," he told Lloyd, "Any happens to me, wherever I am, I volition always exist with you." This is reflected when Lloyd draws force from the memory of his father when fighting Pythor and lifting one of the broken Corridor of Elders statues in "Day of the Departed."
In "The Forgotten Element," Garmadon told Lloyd that "Chen grows strong past taking from others. But real power does the opposite. Information technology empowers those effectually you. Like the way you lot've empowered me." Lloyd used a similar sentiment confronting Garmadon in "Radio Free Ninjago," where he said that "fighting me may make you experience powerful, only you're about to see what real power is."
In "Greenish Destiny," Garmadon lost his power when Lloyd defeated him by indirectly fighting, equally Garmadon is fueled by combat. This is a reference to when Garmadon taught his son the Art of the Silent Fist in the episode of the aforementioned name from Rebooted.
In "Coma," when Garmadon was struggling to climb the mountain and Lloyd jokingly told him about his 4 artillery, he replied by wishing he still had his 4 arms.
Though Garmadon was deceased at the fourth dimension of The Hands of Time, he was present in various ways throughout the season, appearing in flashbacks in "The Hatching" and "Pause and Effect," Wu'south hallucination in "Pause and Effect," and in the by in "Lost in Time." His vox was also used past Samurai 10 in "Secrets Discovered."
The Great Devourer's venom did non introduce evil into Garmadon's body; rather, it amplified the negative qualities that were already nowadays.[36] Specifically, "Information technology enhanced the destruction which was already in him."[37]
He has Oni and Dragon blood similar his father, blood brother, and son.
At the end of "True Potential", Harumi refers to Garmadon as "Emperor Garmadon." He later goes on to declare himself the emperor of Ninjago before being defeated by Lloyd and sent to Kryptarium Prison house in "Green Destiny".
Garmadon's dominant power is Devastation, just he has the ability of Creation equally well (in club to use information technology, he had to unlock his Truthful Potential).
Although in "True Potential," he denied Lloyd every bit his son. But during Hunted, he still refers to him every bit "my son," possibly hinting at his fondness for him returning.
Garmadon'due south original "Lord grade" has a striking resemblance to Mystake'south truthful form.
During his confrontation with Wu in "Green Destiny," Garmadon is able to correctly call the Dragonbone Blade his begetter'southward sword. How Garmadon knew this is unknown, equally he was not in the Realm of Oni and Dragons nor had Wu known virtually it prior to its retrieval.
It is revealed in "The Fall" that Garmadon doesn't take many memories of his good cocky. However, he does recognize the Golden Armor.
In Tommy Andreasen'due south stance, Wu and Garmadon are twins while Garmadon was created get-go.[38]
According to Tommy Andreasen, there are three possible reasons for why Wu and Garmadon aged so chop-chop between "Battle Between Brothers" and the outset of the series, despite having been young for so long.[39]
In an interview with Brent Miller, he hinted it had to do with Wu and Garmadon being apart from each other and from the Golden Weapons, equally Garmadon was banished to the Underworld and Wu hid the weapons soon after.[40]
In the live-chat of an episode of the Eljay Johnsen Show, he confirmed a fan's theory that one reason may be that Wu and Garmadon share an intrinsic connectedness of some sort that was severed by Garmadon being banished to the Underworld, affecting their mortality.[41]
He besides said another explanation could be tea.
The reason Garmadon and Wu were designed to await much younger in "Boxing Betwixt Brothers" is likely considering at that time, the idea of Lloyd's character did non be, so there was no need for a shorter time gap between Garmadon'due south banishment and the offset of the serial. A description from a 2011 LEGO Club Magazine supports this, stating that Garmadon had been gone for thousands of years.[42]
Co-ordinate to Nya in "Rise of Garmadon," "Garmadon wasn't truly evil or truly good. [...] There were e'er elements of both, Lord or Master."
It'southward unconfirmed whether he can create an energy dragon like his brother tin can.[43]
The evil ninja'south eyes and pale skin are identical to Garmadon when he was younger and under the Great Devourer's influence, most likely due to being created by him.
He is the offset main villain to have a child who is a protagonist. The second was Chen with Skylor and the third was Vangelis with Vania.
It is the but relationship out of three that as well appears in other seasons, as the human relationship between Chen and Skylor only appeared in Tournament of Elements and the relationship betwixt Vangelis and Vania merely in Master of the Mountain.
Garmadon once said, "Nosotros can win a thousand times, yet all it takes is one defeat for everything to come undone."[44]
Even in his original Lord form and his resurrected form, Garmadon is non always a villain in terms of the story structure. In Rise of the Snakes and March of the Oni, he was an anti-hero, helping the ninja in diverse means.
His advent is the opposite of his blood brother, considering Garmadon has no bristles and has hair, while Wu but has a long beard and no hair. Garmadon'due south principal colour is black, while Wu's is white.
Garmadon is responsible for coming upward with solutions relating to ii notable conflicts in history: he was the ane to realize the Sacred Flutes could defeat the Serpentine in the Serpentine State of war, and he came upwardly with the idea to hide the Reversal Time Bract in the Boiling Bounding main later on the Battle for All of Time.
Tommy Andreasen believes Garmadon would have approved of Wu and Misako's relationship as part of his redemption for the wrong he did in the past.[45]
Garmadon's resurrection in "Dread on Inflow" by a cult that worships him is near opposite of how he originally died after he sacrificed himself in "The Corridor of Elders" to defeat a cult that worshiped the Anacondrai.
Before the events of Tournament of Elements, Garmadon encountered Griffin Turner's grandparent[46] and Jacob Pevsner.[47]
When asked if Garmadon would get six artillery subsequently using the Mask of Vengeance, Tommy Andreasen said that the power of Oni is probably already in him,[48] so information technology would have no special effect and he would be an Oni with an Oni Mask.[49]
He is the first virtually frequently appearing main villain in a single wave, every bit he was released in up to 3 sets with exactly the same appearance. The other three are Vex, Unagami, and Kalmaar.
When asked about Garmadon's whereabouts since leaving at the finish of March of the Oni, Andreasen said he was "[u]naccounted for…"[50]
According to Mark Oliver, he and Monstrox from Nexo Knights would not be friends because Garmadon would exist upset with the heavy-handedness of Monstrox.[51]
