Honestly, the HIGHEST RATED NINJAGO episode made me wanna just binge watch this whole show 

I hope you ninja go ahead and enjoy this video

"they probably see that everyday" you're not wrong

The way he's confused about why people aren't surprised about literally everything 😂 This isn't even the worst of it.

The civilians are not surprised by the dragons anymore because they have literally seen weirder stuff every season. And ninjas and superheroes aren’t new to them and they know they exist since they are not the first

My favourite line of the whole show is “You don’t even have a sword!” “I don’t need a sword”

The best part of Garmadon's defeat here, is how it's based on a lesson he himself gave Lloyd back when he was good

The shows been going for 10+ years at this point, there’s tons of world building, action and the majority of what you saw in the out of context was the comedy of the show. I grew up with it’s one of my favorite shows to this day. I highly recommend watching it, it’s worth it.

I have something cool to add hehe. so at 18:29, Lloyd is resisting and dodging Garmadon's attacks without fighting back (and this is season 8). In season 3, Garmadon (who at the time was really good and also looked human) was teaching martial arts, and he was literally the one who taught Lloyd how to defeat an opponent without throwing a single blow (so just dodging and resisting). and now Lloyd is using those same tactics that Garmadon taught against him!

Hunted had the BEST ending. A lovely reunion, Lloyd gets his powers back, great fight scene, and set up for March Of The Oni. PLEASE PLEASE watch the rest of the show!!!

Title: “the (…) NINJAGO episode made me wanna just binge watch this whole show”. The Fans: “DO IT!”

“I’ve never heard the intro before I kinda love it” oh if only you knew the glory it used to be 😔

the title of the show is Ninjago. but the line they always use is ninja-go.

As a huge Ninjago fan you should definitely watch the whole show! It keeps getting better as you watch plus I have learned so many good life seasons from this show! And with Dragons Rising they are starting a whole new story that is spreading across multiple seasons and they have no plan on stopping anytime soon!

wait till Mat finds out it’s actually 2 different shows and he missed like 12 seasons of buildup before this

"he has aged backwards" couldn't have said it better myself

As a NinjaNerd, the citizens aren’t confused at the dragons because it’s normal for them. Before this they’ve had several serpent invasions and once a ghost one. Master Wu was affected by a Time Blade (a weapon in a previous season) so he was aging backwards. Garmadon is Lloyd’s father and Wu’s brother. The ninja coming out of the portal was them coming back from another realm. They were marooned in a Dragon Realm which is why they have dragons. The reason the city is almost destroyed is because they had no one to stop the villains while they were gone.

I love how he’s surprised about Dragons while to us fans it’s a regular day in Ninjago 😂

“What does that mean? He’s gonna capture his soul?” Nah, that’s season 6

I'm autisic and my special interest is Ninjago (has been since I was young lmao) so here you go, Garmadon and Wu are brothers, sons of the First Spinjitzu Master, man who created the whole of Ninjago. Lloyd is G's son, but they've met before and faught A LOT. So, no that isn't the first time he's met his father. In an earlier season Wu got turned into a baby, then quickly grew up which is why at the end he's back to himself. No one in Ninjago is surprised by anything anymore, they've been though HELL and have just learnt to live with it lmao. I mean at one point in this ep, Jay (the blue ninja) literally questions why anyone stays in the city. Also, Darreth (the brown ninja) isn't an actual ninja, just a big fan and friend. So yeah he's extemely clumsy. Everyone know's the ninjas' identities, so when Lloyd took off his mask it didn't mean much. Ninjago, while extemely funny, has SO much going into it. It's a big show, but I would so recommend it!! I could go on forever but I won't haha, and anyway loved the video and hope you do more on the show!!!

Not me laughing over Mathew calling Dareth “Garrett”

Things I need to see Mathew react to: •Ever After High: Epic Winter •Lego Monkie Kid’s highest rated episode (or the 9th episode of Season 2 specifically) •Any episode from Lego Ninjago: Dragons Rising (it’s a good entry point to the series since it’s the latest reboot and only has one and a half seasons out so far. Unless you WANT to watch all 15 seasons of the original series idk)

"Lloyd feels out of place" Wait till he hears about Jay

OH MY GOD PLEASE BINGE NINJAGO. My life would be yours, no joke. I love this show to bits and pieces!

"ninjas, dragon riders, and fckin elvis. lego elvis" absolutely sent me also, "don't let them destroy you, let ME destroy you" is pretty accurate to even early show garmadon too, thinking about the serpentine and the pirates and such haha

I was you a couple months ago. I watched ONE EPISODE of ninjago with a friend, and I have now seen every episode. It was a very fascinating experience to hyper focus on a Lego tv show

The lore in this show is ridiculously huge.

Ninjago and Lego Monkie Kid are two top tier lego shows that I think you should watch all the way through (on or off camera, idc which, I just think you should experience them)

"Hey, what's over there? Is that a dragon?" "Yea, i think. Anyways want sone coffee?" "Sure."

Mathew does not understand how weird the lives of ninjago citizens are lmao

Honestly the fact that you just jumped in without any previous knowledge made things so much funnier. As someone who has watched this show multiple times and loves it a lot, this video was hilarious, I loved it a lot You should definitely check out more Ninjago, the show is pretty great

Me: "he hasn't watched the series don't get triggered when he doesn't know anything.... BREATH just breath"

Also fun fact. The band that sung outside the palace during the 2nd final scene. Is the Lego version of "The Fold". Singing the weekend whip. Which is the band that composes each season's new intro music, and their remakes

7:35 they have acctually seen that every day, 8 seasons of watching ninjas fight weird villains would do that to you. And dragons were there day since day one too

the city has gone through like 13 seasons of city destruction. None of them are surprised anymore TwT

Calling Dareth "Lego Elvis" is the best thing i ever heard😂.

Mathew: Uploads another Ninjago video Me crying tears of joy: You have no idea how long I've waited for this 😁😭

Your point about not minding spoilers for shows you dont plan on watching is actually so valid. Honestly, that's how i got into quite a few shows. Randomly seeing an interesting (and most likely full of spoilers) bit and wanting to know how we got there. It's also how I catch up with shows i dont plan on watching, because why would i need to look out for spoilers? Though I also understand people being against that, especially when it comes to big twists or moments that recontextualise the entire series. But honestly, everyone enjoys media differently.

Another cool ninjago thing you could react to is the intros. They’re very cinematic. Love the reactions!

20:09 No he didn’t take his fathers powers, he just got his powers back since his powers went away a few episodes back. So he like got them back ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Omg ninjago is my childhood

Petition to make him look at all the openings. Since he doesn't even seem to recognize the weekend whip

Many people expect Ninjago to be a shallow, comedic, disposable, and, dare I say, childish show since it's about colorful Lego Ninja. But what surprised you and many others (and what I adore about Ninjago) is that takes itself 100% seriously. Ninjago could have been a commercial for toys and yes, a clear goal is indeed to sell toys. But you can tell the primary goal of Ninjago is to tell an amazing story. Nothing about Ninjago feels like a cheap or superficial toy commercial, it gets so raw and real with its characters and world and it always incredibly emotional. You don't get that level of depth unless the creators really cared about not selling toys, but creating a genuine quality story. Ninjago doesn't see itself as a cartoon meant to sell toys, it sees itself as a show with real characters and an expansive and vibrant world. The narratives are so strong if this were an anime or an action adventure cartoon without Lego, the experience would be almost the same. That tells me essence of Ninjago isn't superficial, it is entirely based on substance. If you've never seen Ninjago, give it a chance. It really is a show that's sincere in what it's trying to convey to its audience. It never hides behind a filter, never pulls punches, and never sees itself as a show meant to sell toys and that's why it's surprising to so many viewers. They expect a quick and easy cash grab but Ninjago is anything but. It's an honest to God quality animated show. It's a show that, in my opinion, in one of the best animated shows ever made. It takes itself seriously and as a result, the viewer can't help but take it seriously as well.

btw at 20:16, Lloyd didnt absorb his powers, he always had powers! But they disappeared for a bit and now they returned haha so it's his own powers

To be fair Lloyd's name was kind of a joke in his first appearance, we just got used to it before he was even the main character

"Out of context was wierd...gues I will do it another time!"

11:55 Garmadon did a laser thing in season 2 12:26 no the soul capturing sword was in season 6 16:38 no that was part of the plot of season 1 and 2 Garmadon at this point is his soul revived from the departed realm but only the evil part was brought back 23:27 that was also a part of season 2

Ninjago is the gift that keeps on giving. 15+ seasons and still going strong 😭

Binge it. I watched as a kid and never got passed sesaon 3: Rebooted. Then about two years ago I went and rewatched the whole thing and now there's 18 seasons. Its such a good show.

Matthew should definitely watch the pilot episodes :>

Let me be honest, there are 17 seasons, and i am on season 12, and I'm 3 months in. I have re-watched this show at least 20 times, this is one of my fave episodes

Me at the start of the video: HYPE NINJAGO! Me at the end of the video: EVEN MORE HYPE! I really enjoyed watching this :)

Not my childhood HES STOLEN IT ALL I love how he doesn’t say anything about well 3 ppl and 1 robot riding dragons I feel like he would start going crazy about it

I saw the thumbnail and *immediately* this popped into my head: Garmadon: L-Loyd? Lloyd: That’s right, it’s me, your son. And it’s *Lloyd,* DAD! Garmadon: No, L-L-O-Y-D. I named you🤓 Lloyd: You ruined my life! Garmadon: How could I ruin your life? I wasn’t even there

3:28 y’all I forgot zane was a robot XD

Fun fact about the party scene at the end the people performing the song (the weekend whip) were based of the real band that sing it called the fold. The fold also has remixed the weekend whip for season when it's not the opening song.

"No one was squished, hopefully" Laughs in two episodes ago

A bit of a shame that Sanders Sides didn't win but I suppose this will work.

your viewers knowing the context while you don't is what makes your content entertaining, I love it

You HAVE to watch the rest of the show. It’s so well written and the action is incredible. This episode is from a fan favourite season. Seasons 8-10(also known as the oni trilogy) are a bit darker than the other seasons and tell a much more overarching story

This is literally one of the ONLY Season 9 episodes without Harumi I can’t 😩

YES! You absolutely need to watch all of Ninjago, that's what I did and it's just peak. The newest season that came out this year is really really good so the show is still going strong!

The guy with four arms is the green ones dad and he has the power of destruction

Mathew should totally react to one of those 8 mins of pure garmaddon being sassy

Dude all I'm saying is that if you like Ninjago you will ADORE Lego Monkie Kid

The song at the end is the full version of the show's original theme song

I literally started watching Ninjago for the first time somewhere last year. I am currently on Dragons Rising, and I have to say, this show did NOT disappoint! It's really fun and cool!

a lot of people have that impression of ninjago that it's just a comedy, superficial toy ad- and at times it can be. but the lore and worldbuilding does get pretty deep, and the characters are extremely loveable and you will get attached to them and their storylines. it has a lot of heart to it and some really good messages about family, found family, identity / finding yourself, trauma, and more. i've been a fan since it first started airing and it's still my comfort show as an adult :) i do recommend you give it a whirl!

The lego ahows are always so good, im personally a lego monkie kid fan but they're so fun

it's funny when I have seen the whole show like 200 times and you watching it without like any context is just hilarious.

explodes you with my mind oh my god everyone these days is reacting to ninjago and i am so happy about it like my hyperfixation for over 10 years is being discovered by so many god this is awesome good luck with the full series if you decide to watch it

Hunted is the story arc of season 9. Each season has their own name that fits the theme of the story arc. Tournament of Elements, Possession, Crystalized, Skybound, Seabound, Hunted, etc. All of it has a meaning.

technically this isnt the highest rated episode, since s1-10 and s11-15 are listed separately on imdb, listed as "Ninjago: Masters Of Spinjitzu" and "Ninjago" respectively (probably because they had a studio change and netflix lists them seperately), and the s14 finale has a higher rating but this is still a really good episode 💪💪💪 ps: would love for you to watch more of the show 🙏 it has its low points but when its high its HIGH

WELCOME TO NINJAGO!!! You're never leaving.

Just wait until he sees the public's reaction to the giant fire snakes

The song was the Ninjago theme song/intro song (It's altered for every season) It was written + sung by The Fold :3

omg yes, PLEASE watch more of this show, there’s a lot to it but it’s so good

YOU SHOULD WATCH NINJAGO NOWW

If Ninjago was a well animated anime with good graphics and visuals, it would probably be more respected. Ninjago is serious and is packed with lore, Ninjago is a lego show, but that doesn't mean you don't have to take it seriously.

Matthew this was an awesome reaction! You should react to all the intros!

Honestly surprised it’s not one of the Son’s of Garmadon episodes that’s the highest episodes but I’m also SO happy because I also love Hunted and this episode ❤❤

5:55 yep. Kai and Nya, Jay and Cole, Zane. Wu, Garmadon, Misako, Lloyd. Ninjago has a pretty random mix of Asian sounding and English sounding names

just realized that it's kinda weird that ninjago names their seasons

Oh my god. I’ve watched this show for 8 years and you just made me realize the title is Ninja and Lego combined. Ninja-Legos. Ninjago. Oh. My. God.

12:51, he is literally fuelled by anger, the more conflict, the stronger he becomes

I actualy jumped and said finaly

7:35 well they indeed have. Trust me pal, they are used to the city being attacked since day one, and *it's not* the first time the city is gonna be destroyed by a giant monster ( just another day in Ninjago) 10:22 That's Master Wu for ya. He obviously doesn't know how to defeat Garmadon but he isn't gonna act in front of his nephew like he knows, reason why he said that.

Ninjago citizens built different man. They've been through it

YAYAYAYYY FINALLY MORE NINJAGO!! I love seeing peoples reactions to a show I like, and it would be so freaking awesome to see more episode reactions. Unfortunately, I also know there are a freaking TON of episodes. Im most looking forward to seeing the reaction to the pun that is Lloyds name lol

as a ninjago fan im so happy 😭😭

You should react and rank all the intros! They are all amazing (mainly the first seasons lmao)

U should totally watch the rest of it!! It is a wonderful show with great characters and world building and has a great story line! Every season focuses on a different villain and or setting! Sure they repeat some of those but they manage to do it differently like Garmadon(The four armed person) Lloyd has already hade to fight him multiple times. It's also really long and the show shows no stopping anytime soon

Mat: I hope no one got squished Me: *laughing*

WOOOOOOOOO YEAAAHHHH FINALLYYYY 🎉 Edit: im actually a bit surprised that this was the highest rated episode but yeah, this makes sense More ninjago plz :3

I would love to see more ninjago. Even if you dont plan on watching the entire show its a fun ride seeing you not understand alot of things and seeing you try to figure stuff out and just enjoy ninjago in the way you consume media. So PLEASE MORE NINJAGO IN THE FUTURE!!!😃

YES OMG I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED YOU TO REACT TO MORE NINJAGO AND IM SO GLAD

The thing with lloyd and his dad is really sad and there's alot of focus on it in the show so don't worry. Don't wanna say anything but their relationship has always been complicated, though during later seasons its definitely worse for various reasons. Also yes there's ALOT of lore and worldbuilding in ninjago that's done so well, alot of interesting characters and many different villains, not just one big bad.

ninjago is hands down my favorite cartoon show out there; the writing and characterization and world building and just everything is just so well done for a kids show, it feels like its more of a teen-young adult show. i would LOVE to see mathew watch more of ninjago, but theres like 20 seasons lol so you'd have to watch multiple episodes at a time (u also gotta make sure u watch the 3 shows in order; "Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu", then "Ninjago", then "Ninjago: Dragons Rising")

I grew up watching ninjago and i absolutely loved it as a kid. So a little while ago i went back to watch some of it again and i was suprised at how good it actually is. Yes it's a lego tv-series made for kids but with taking that in to consideration it's way better than it has any right to be. I would love to see you watch more ninjago things❤

I genuinely hate that he watched these massive fucking spoiler episodes and out of context montages instead of JUST WATCHING THE DAMN SHOW ALREADY GOD😭

You should totally react to alien stage! It's under 30 minutes. It has such good songs and so many things going on at the same time that I'd consider it reaction-worthy.
