Part one of a series of animation I am doing of my Ninjago character, Samura Jade.

Hi! I tried to keep it short but I figured maybe detailed is better!

Garmadon 

Samura Jade had a crush on Garmadon when they were younger, but twenty years later, he’s married with a child, of course she is no longer interested in him in that way, now they are friends with a deep understanding for each other, they both trained under Chen for a while and left to try and do better, both of them are walking the line of good and evil. 

Garmadon knew his time was running out, so he asked Jade to watch over Lloyd whenever that time may be. This shows a great care and respect, to trust his friend to look after his son.

Misako 

Misako and Jade do not have much to say, Jade is not jealous of Misako, she doesn’t wish anything ill on her, but whenever Misako is speaking to her son Lloyd, Jade will retreat, she backs away, feeling awkward and misplaced. Their relationship is complicated, but she never felt jealous. 

I believe Jade feels awkward more than anything, that is HER son, not Jade’s. But Garmadon did tell her to parent him. And anytime Jade shows parental affection, she can see Misako's guilt.

For instance, a scene between them would play out like this: 

Lloyd has survived a battle but appears beat up/weak, Jade rushes over to check on him, unknowing that Misako is doing the same. Jade puts a hand on his arm to keep him steady. “Are you hurt?-“ 

Jade instantly grows awkward and uncoordinated as she saw Misako is on the opposite side of Lloyd, she lets go of Lloyd entirely and backs away quickly, leaving Misako to take care of Lloyd while someone talks to Jade to divert the tension. 

(Originally I had made Samura Jade to be the parental mother I wished Misako was, and I still stand by that. I believe the writers ruined the character’s story & how involved Misako was.)

Lloyd

During their first interactions, Lloyd was very interested in speaking to her about his dad, since she knew Garmadon’s past and things that his father never told him. (This is during season 3&4)

After Sensei Garmadon sacrificed himself, Samura Jade took up Garmadon’s monastery for only a moment, they ended up selling it to gain money for their survival after his death and for the statue of Garmadon pictured in the season finale. 

Jade kept up with Lloyd, teaching him and telling him more about his father whenever he asked, even if her stories were limited from the years apart. Then Lloyd started to ask questions about her life, his transition to caring about his father’s stories turned into learning more about Jade. 

When Jade met Mystake again during a trip with Lloyd to get a certain tea for master Wu, it became apparent that she had felt something for Mystake, Lloyd helped coax Jade to try again. So Jade did, and by season 5 you can see Mystake and Jade together. 

Lloyd sees Jade as a mother figure, I would theorize that he feels more comfortable around her than Misako, because of Misako’s attraction to Wu, and sadly her absence many times in his life. Jade on the other hand was always available, keeping up with his life, and kept the promise she made to Garmadon. 

Lloyd always calls her “Misses J” and keeps up with her by sending letters when they’re too busy to visit. Lloyd loves Jade’s cooking and Mystake’s tea. While Misako is flawed, at least Lloyd has Mystake and Jade’s tea shop if he ever needs to talk.

This is why Lloyd knows where Mystake’s tea shop is in season eight when the other ninja did not know where it was, because he would visit in his off times.

Overall, 

Garmadon sees her as one of his closest friends, even a fraction of his former self. Trusts her enough to look after his son.

Misako is a rough awkward relationship, Jade does not know how to interact with her and Misako is too ashamed of when she had to leave Lloyd to really thank Jade or interact much. Misako feels guilt when she sees how Jade is with Lloyd.

can we just talk about how Garmadon is like this cat every time he looks at Oni Mystake
