While holding up the head of the statue, Lloyd says, "You are still with me, dad!" This echoes part of Garmadon's last words to Lloyd in " Curseworld, Part II:" "Whatever happens to me, wherever I am—I will always be with you."

Tommy Andreasen was not very involved in the production of the special, so when he watched the intended final product, he was "horrified" to see that Nya's Spinjitzu was red and called Peter Hausner to insist it be changed to blue. [11] Similarly one could argue that Day of The Departed seems to borrow most of the idea as part of their premise by the looks of it. That being The statues of the villains coming to life during nightfall, and Yang possibly serving as the equivalent of The Tablet Of Ahkmenrah since he is responsible for setting off the events in some way. Chen targeted Nya for stealing his Spell of Transformation, [13] and he presumably targeted Kai for turning Skylor against him and destroying the Staff of Elements. When Cole starts to fight Yang again after the other ninja arrive, watching closely shows a part of his suit clipping through the Earth symbol. General Kozu presumably pursued Dareth for stealing control of the Stone Army, indirectly leading to his destruction by enabling Lloyd to reach and defeat the Overlord.The Mask of Deception · 76.

The episode marks the first time that the term Skulkin is used in the show instead of the Skeleton Army, with Samukai calling himself the "Skulkin general."

At one point, Kai asks Nya if she thinks that they'll ever find out what actually happened to their parents. This hints to the next season, The Hands of Time, where the siblings do find out what actually happened to their parents. 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] Wu gets a bad feeling as Morro confronts him, though Wu is pained at having to fight his former student again, he states that he won't hesitate to do it again. However, Morro reveals he really has no intention of revenge; instead he tells Wu of Yang's plan and they set off to reunite the ninja. This is the only Ninjago special released.
