The Departed Cool Movie Poster

[26] Cole has a lantern with him while viewing the Hall of Villainy, but when he goes off to Yang's portrait, his lantern disappears for the rest of the scene. Cryptor presumably challenged Zane because he inadvertently destroyed him by slaying the Golden Master. Tommy Andreasen stated, "I like DoD a lot. The action got cut up more than it was in script, and some (in my mind) important scenes were left out. But it's good." [20] Master Yang's students and the past villains' henchmen (Frakjaw, Krazi, two Stone Swordsmen, two Stone Scouts, three Nindroid warriors, Zugu, and Eyezor) serve as the villainous factions of the special respectively.

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 only Ninjago special released. However, The Island has been alternatively released as a special in some countries.
