Introduce Ronin into the series, after first being introduced in the non-canon video game LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin.

In the Season 8 finale, Lloyd was under the impression that his friend was dead and was unaware he was in another realm. They soon landed in the lot in front of the shop and rushed to get inside. As they all crammed through the door Nya shut the door behind them.

Lloyd's father loved him very much since the day he was born. Lloyd idolized him and even dreamed of being just like his father by becoming a supervillain, but his father didn't want his son to be like him, instead, he wanted Lloyd to be his person. When Lloyd finds out he was the Green Ninja, he was sad that he had to face his father and vice versa. When Garmadon was purified of the evil in him, Lloyd was happy that he was finally reunited with his dad and the two used this as an opportunity to spend time with each other. Participants also described Summer’s personality as outgoing: ‘bubbly... the warm, friendly person’ (P23). These external characteristics, however, were often portrayed in conflict with Summer’s internal world, which frequently positioned Summer as experiencing shame and guilt. The story arcs described a point of intervention at which Summer’s self-harm was either discovered or where she sought support, and the stories detailed her process of recovery and the treatment she received, if any.

The stem was brief and written in the third person with enough detail to ‘orient the participant to the focus of the story’ (Clarke et al., 2019, p. 10). The choice to include a third-person story stem was guided by Braun et al. ( 2019) who advise that third-person story stems may permit access to less socially desirable responses. It is theorised that because the participant is situated outside the story, there are fewer inferences of personal experience (Braun et al., 2019). A single-story stem was used to limit demand on participants and to maximise the chances of obtaining quality data. The final stem presented to participants was: Summer, a devout Christian, would sometimes self-harm. She... Participants were invited to read the story stem and to write what might happen next. They were asked not to spend too long thinking of a story but, rather, to respond with whatever came to mind, thereby providing readily available meanings. To ensure adequate data quality, all participants were asked to spend a minimum of 10 min writing the story or to produce roughly 200 words or 10 lines. The study instructions and story stem were first piloted with two participants prior to main study recruitment to ensure that the instructions were understandable. Participants Brad was a good friend of Lloyd's when he attended Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys. Their friendship started rough, due to Brad putting fire ants in Lloyd's bed. They became friends when Brad claimed to have been just showing Lloyd how things work, and Brad began teaching Lloyd "the art of revenge" in secret. Nya and Lloyd are good friends throughout the series. There wasn't much interaction between them in the first few seasons, but they did care for each other.

Samurai X-TremeSignificantly, in SC, participants are not asked to discuss or describe their own experiences, perceptions or meanings but are invited to envision how a given scenario might unfold (see Braun et al., 2019). Participants are asked to write a short story after being presented with either a first- or third-person story cue or prompt (an opening sentence). As SC necessitates that participants draw upon sociocultural sense-making resources or discourses, it is a valuable technique in exploring people’s assumptions. Moreover, since SC does not ask people to explicitly state their own experience, it permits access to a range of meanings around a given topic. After Lloyd saw the other ninja "die," they formed The Resistance in Season 9: Hunted to defeat the Sons of Garmadon, Lord Garmadon, and Harumi. Being the only two ninja left (the others being in another realm, unbeknownst to them), it was during this time that the two truly became close friends. In the end, Nya was happy to see Lloyd defeat his father and regain his powers.
