RIDICULOUS Ninjago Censorship! 🙄 

What are some other famous, or infamous, examples of ridiculous Ninjago censorship? 👀

I don't happened to recall the fridge scene when Zane left a note when I first saw this in TV, I do remember Zane being inside of the refrigerator, but I'm surprised there was a note scene from other countries

I remember seeing Zane replaced with a note in the fridge in one rewatching back in 2012 and being sooo confused

In Russia we didn't have the scene where Jay is lying on the train rails, when they try to find out who Samurai is. Idk it kinda makes sense cuz they probably didn't want kids going on rails, but Jay was also pretending to be a girl...

In Turkey, they literally censored all the scenes that someone says "Sorcerer" in Master of the Mountain. It was so bad like, for example, "Your days are over, Skull [...]!" "You can't beat me, I'm the mighty Skull [...]!" Like they think kids be like "Oh he said Sorcerer I'm going to be a Sorcerer when I grow up!" It's so stupid!

The ninja: brutally beating their enemies. Censorship: this can stay Zane: in the fridge Censorship: *You've officially crossed the line, buddy.*

Cartoon character sitting in a fridge: America: BANNED Cartoon character waving a giant knife around: America: aight alright seems legit

When I first watched the show, Zane was in the refrigerator. I've never seen anything with a note.

When Lloyd was possessed in season 5 Jay said "Woah! Lloyd's gone through puberty", this line was cut in some countries for some reason. Also I'm pissed about the season 12 episode getting cut because of 2 UNCONFIRMED LGBTQ characters.

Jay's line from the season 5 episode Winds of Change, "Wow, Lloyd's gone through puberty," was cut out of the Australian release I believe.

There’s actually another one in S8 Tanner In Episode 81 Harumi says “your idiot friends” than it is later changed to just “your friends”

In Germany they changed the dialogue in that one scene when Morro enters the bar that he would ask the bartender for a cup of tea and instead of the other people telling Morro that he looks a little young (like in the US version) they ask him if he wants to play Billiard with them

Prime Empire already feels like forever ago, even though it's only a year old.

Was anything ever done to censor that scene in Season 4 where Jay is literally naked? I don’t mind the scene at all, I’m just curious lol

In the censored episode 2 you can still hear Zane GRABBING the cheese

I saw Zane in the fridge myself. Whether on tv, disc, or like you said, on Netflix. Also LGBT relationships are offensive to religions including my own unfortunately. I can understand that censorship actually but I personally am not bothered by it considering they are plastic minifigures.

Nya almost swearing when the engine of the car she was fixin in s12 blew up "This stupid ,stubborn , peice of........"

In Germany, Zane was sitting in the refrigerator. An we had the elevator-scene. But the big-black-dragon-eating-Lloyd-scene were cut out in TV after a few years.

It's great that you're noticing all these changed subtle details, and every single one of them is confusing af to even ponder why they changed them??

The Prime Empire censorship honestly just annoys me. Even if they were a couple (not like there's anything wrong there), is it really so unusual for two females to enter a dance competition? There's nothing inherently romantic about it.

Gonna be honest, if I saw Zane in a fridge as a kid, I would have hopped inside our fridge

After this video Tanner decides to sit in the refrigerator 😂😂😂 XD

I feel bad for people who haven’t seen one step forward two steps back because it was removed. It’s such a great episode.

the nya and jay dance scenes were beautiful feels bad for anyone who missed it

Lol there are scenes where the Ninja are literally seconds from death, yet Zane sitting in a fridge was cut! Didn't Garmadon literally rip apart Mr. E, and didn't Tournament of Elements literally show a dismembered PIXAL?

It’s a children show, there’s always gonna be a bunch of stupid things, but these aren’t even that bad.

LOLOL Ohmygosh, I remember being so used to seeing the note in the fridge left from Zane, that when I saw the OG with him in the fridge, I was kinda weirded out. The change in the scene reminds me a lot of what they did to Mikey in the '80s Turtles cartoon. They got rid of his nunchucks because kids kept making their own and using them on each other. 😂😂

US Netflix got The UK Zane scene. 🤔

Why is it awkward that Zane eats? If he didn't, wouldn't that have made the others, as well as Zane himself, a little suspicious? He blended in almost perfectly within human society so it's pretty obvious that he was able to eat... And do other things realted to human needs. Besides, only the Master of Golden Power is able to bypass the Laws of Thermodyamics, Zane on the other hand had to compensate his lack of not beeing able to recharged with something else. Converting chemical energy into electric energy via food seems like a good solution. And don't forget, we're speaking about Lego here, the same company that also gave us Bionicle, wich was an inspiration for Ninjago. In Bionicle, the Matoran don't really eat but they also are able to use the energy of organic food to feed themselves. If semi-organic beings can do that, I guess a fully anorganic being like Zane could do the same in a modernized world like Ninjago. Or take Westworld for an example, the Hosts are just like Zane, they are fully robotic (although Gen 2 Hosts look like they were organic even in the inside) but they act like humans, they eat, they drink, they... You know, human needs. So calling a droid from a fantasy/sci-fi universe with the ability to eat awkward feels a little strange to me.

As an American who has watched this show for years, I never recall seeing the Zane-fridge scene with a note

Changing it to a letter really doesn't fit the whole "Zane is weird" scene with Kai. But I do get the reason as to why they changed it. They could have just removed the two dancers in the background who were two females for the other countries and the episode could have still aired. But hey that's just me attempting to solve a problem that really doesn't need to be solved because those two girls could have been best friends or sisters for all we know. But hey that just means people who like Ninjago and missed out on One Step Forward Two Steps back just need to find it online, with subtitles for their language.

When I watched that prime empire episode, I did actually notice that those two were the only pair of the same gender. But that doesn’t necessarily say anything about a romantic relationship. There’s nothing that’s implied that this is a “couples only” contest or whatever

Zane laughing at sad movie lol 😂😂😂

If you think that this is unnecessary censor , then let me list to you some scenes that got cut or change in the Arabic dubbed version : - in the episode when zane found out he’s a robot and he turn his funny switch on then start singing a song that start with “hello my baby” they change the whole song and made him sing a song about a cat and sun or something like that- -in the same episode the remove the scene when he gives them a present and it’s explode (when the episode first aired this scene was in it but then the remove it for some reason) - the didn’t aired the episode when jay found his true potential because of the idea of jay and nya going out on a date - in season 2 they cut the scene when jay evil self kissed nya - the scene in the end of season 11 when pixel jump to zane arm and hug him - in the end of season 10 when jay propose to nya they change the dialogue and made him say “I have this gift for you , will you be my friend ?” And then cut the part when she say yes and jump into his arm to hug him ... basically every time someone Talk about it the dialogue change to make it look like he want to be her friend -in that episode of empire prime when zane become detective and then pixel came they cut the scene when he said “she says , shining a ray of light into my dairy world” , and in the same episode when he say “she seems annoyed but her heart reveal that she like my detective skills” and then pixel said “ my heart did not reveal that! Every part of me is annoyed” (the dialogue is not 100% accurate) that scene also got cut - in the first seasons they change a lot of dialogue and cut some scene to remove the fact that nya and jay where dating , they also cut the scene (I think it’s in season 3 ?) when nya was talking to Cole in the train and then she sit with him and hold his hand ( kinda funny that they kept the scenes when Cole and jay where fighting over nya) - in season 4 they change a lot of dialogues when the ninja where talking about how Kai have a crush on Skylar (I probably spelled her name wrong) - i THINK they remove the scene when Kai was about to kiss skylar but I’m not sure - they cut the scene in skybound when jay saw that he is with nya in the future (but in the next episode when they were showing clips from the previous episode that scene was there and it didn’t get cut and they also kept the scene when zane and jay where talking about it) -they cut the scene when harumi kiss Lloyd and the scene when Akita kiss Lloyd -in empire prime when jay and nya where dancing to win the competition they cut the scene when jay say “I love you” - they change dialogue , A LOT There’s more but I’m too lazy to write the rest , also There is a lot of episodes that I haven’t seen and I mostly watch the show in Arabic so there’s may be other scenes that got cut but I didn’t know

On Netflix, the "school sucks" is still here lol (I'm in France don't know if other countries have the censored version)

What kind of fridge can kids sit inside?

I remember seeing the Zane in the fridge scene. I was confused, because I first saw the note scene. Not sure why they did this, Zane in the fridge makes more sense than a letter.

In crystalized, On Sally’s guitar there is a lgbtq sign idk if some countries ban that episode but mine didn’t

I think that in the first episode, the video game in which, “The Ninja,” are playing, is changed to be pixelated on the, “Cartoon Network,” broadcast.

What about the ninja stopping calling Wu "sensei" And replacing it with "master" at some point because apparently sensei is offensive in some countries? Like it could've just been translated differently...

Here in Canada I got the version of him actually sitting in the fridge. I have never seen the one with the note

I still see zane in the fridge and when jays in the elevator i also still see the "school sucks" written on the wall oof

I never understood why Zane was only in the fridge on Netflix, and Cartoon Network instead had a note. Zane in the fridge was funnier.

i swear there was a part in season one episode 4 where one of the ninja suggests spanking Lloyd as a punishment for releasing the serpentine but for some reason is cut out on netflix

I had no idea the refrigerator scene had other versions too, I've only seen the version where Zane is in the refrigerator

I dont think they needed to change the scene with Zane in the fridge i mean i was really little kid when s1 came out and Zane was my favorite character but when he was in the fridge i didnt told myself "lets go to the fridge like Zane did" i probably assumed that Zane was able to survive in fridge because he is the Master of ice

2:11 according to ChatGPT, when Zane eats, there is a compartment that gives him power

I just thought about this, I can, by the idea of Zane eating food, because, even though he doesn’t need it to survive, he would likely just assume that he does, because he didn’t know he was a machine. But I remember seeing from season one where samurai X Knox Zane out with knockout gas. How does that work? If as a robot he shouldn’t need to breathe? I would also ask how he can have an elemental power if as a robot, he can’t be a descendent of an elemental master, but that’s neither here nor there.

The photo you used for the Zane note looks like a creepy pasta for some reason

I live in Canada and I’ve seen the Zane in the fridge part but that was when ninjago was first a thing.

In my country Zane was in the fridge, but in the DVD also release in my country the note was on the fridge

i live in Canada but when i saw it originally Zane was in the fridge so that's interesting.

Fun fact: cole says “scumbag” in season 2 episode 11

That refrigerator thing is weird because I live in the US and also watched that episode when it came out vaguely remember Zane being in the fridge, though that might just be the Mandela Effect.

i don't like the couple censorship, it seems kinda dumb...

I dont see how a kid can even try to climb in to a fridge even if they wanted to try most seem small or have many selves in them

Prime empire I think cut the scene where Nya throws wasabi

Great to see some youtube Ninjago content in 2021!

In my country i didn't saw Zane in the fridge (Czech Republic)

I think that the reason that Zane was not in the fridge in the American version is because around the time period that this episode came out I remember seeing a story on the news where a kid was playing around in a frigerator and his garage garage while his mom and dad were away for a few hours and the refrigerator fell all he was inside of it landing door down so he couldn't get out and I'm pretty sure he suffocated

i remember back in the day when that ep came out there was a note not zane just sitting in there

I’ve seen the Zane one on Amazon Prime several years ago, and it was the note, and the other it has Zane in the fridge.

On Netflix there's one season that's not available, and it's the day of the departed season, I don't know why, but it's not available on Netflix

I did see Zane in the refrigerator on the US Netflix when i Originally watched this. strange

I've watched the series at least twice (fell off the first time) and both times i saw Zane in the fridge. I'm in the US and never saw the note.

Looks like you’re knowledgeable in Ninjago. I started watching the series with my younger bro on Netflix (they just removed day of the departed so I had to summarize what happened) so I was wondering if you know when The Island & Seabound will be on Netflix?

Censoring zane in the fridge… really?? Like how could a little kid even do that, first you gotta remove all the food and beverages in the fridge then take out all the fridge shelves and put yourself in there. Doubt a kid would go through all that to say “CHEESE”

Where I live in the US I saw Zane sitting in the refrigerator as a kid

In season one captain soto swears and they dont even sensor it-

I saw Zane in the fridge in greek. Never felt the need to jump in a refrigerator. The episode with the two female dancers too (in greek ofc).

Being Gay is illegal in some countries so that’s why they pulled it.

I find it so funny how there are all these censorships but in the japanease dub morro literally says the f word in japanease

So lemme get this staight they censor zane in the fridge but not Harumi nearly killing Lloyd by trouging the knife at him

I actually wanted to clime inside the fridge when I was little

Oh yeah, there is this one censorship I don’t know if it’s just me, but in the rise of the snakes episode when the ninja was playing the video game sometimes on the tv it’s pixelated versions of them fighting a dragon and sometimes it shows the pixelated versions of them, fighting the skeletons in the Caves of despair in the pilot episode, king of shadows

I remember Zane in the fridge and I’m in the us

That’s weird because I’m American yet when I watched episode 2 Zane was in the refrigerator

wait so they cut it because of two background characters and not cole dancing with kai?? ☠

i remember zane being in the fridge in Australia

2:35 i noticed this when i went to america for vacation this year. very peculiar

Quite ironic given the fact that I think I may have a memory of doing this once when I was a little girl I want to lock myself in either the fridge or the freezer when I was a little girl

NINJAAAAAA - *BLEEEEEEEP*

I hope you do more of these.

I live by the city in NY and I just checked and I see Zane 5:14 is just over thinking it

I definitely remember Zane being in the fridge, strange.

I actually live in Canada and have been a fan since 2012 and have always had the scene when Zane is in the fridge instead of the note. Maybe it’s just the part of Canada where I live? Idk

Yeah for the prime empire one some countries ban gays and lesbians but I am also very curious to know what plot they replaced the episode with or did they just not add an episode and just did a quick time skip

I live in the United States and I remember seeing Zane in the fridge the first time I saw it.

In Canada, i got the zane inside the fridge version

In the uk I have only ever scene zane in the fridge

I lived in US yet I For some Odd reason Grow up with Zane in the fridge instead of the Zane's Note, I remember this one when I was watching both TV airings and Netflix Version in tof that Fridge scene of Zane in there.

Tanner: do not sit in ur fridge cuz u will be suffocated. Me: .......... Hahahahahah. Yea who would do that 😅😅

I, personally, never found anything in Ninjago very offensive. Even if these sensorships were never a thing I still wouldn't find it super offensive. However, my opinion could always change if the writers do something I found offensive in future seasons

On Netflix Zane is in the Refrigerator

What is it when ninjago and the censorship.

When I watched ninjago season 1 earlier this year, zane was in the fridge

Yea I remember that scene ❄️

quick question, where can I watch All 16 seasons of ninjago online?

Propel just need to get over themselves and not get offended by every little thing

Well,i do not know.
