I LOVE the Oni trilogy genuinely so much, and I love how S10 worked as it’s finale since it truly did come full circle.  The only thing I noticed is that it’s the weakest season of the three of them, but for fitting so much into 4 episodes, I won’t nitpick it too harshly.

While I feel like the Oni were a bit anti climatic given the tone of the season, they still were a terrifying threat.  They had been spoken of and feared for so long, to see them in their glory was incredible, I only wish the season was able to expand on it.  The concept of the darkness alone was horrifying, though for a species known for mass destruction, not much was destroyed.   At the same time, I can see the darkness being the sole destruction work all on it’s own, just because of how ominous and eerie it is, to be consumed and frozen by a darkness you CAN’T stop.  

I will say, my favorite part of this season was Lloyd and Garmadons dynamic.  This is my FAVORITE Garmadon season and they were so funny in a very bittersweet way.   I love the way they handled him grappling with his buried humanity and care in a quiet way, and I like the lack of closure.  It contributes to the tragedy of the situation.

Lloyd being visited by the First Spinjitzu Master and the weight of the whole scene was very special.  The utmost respect given to him by not only his grandfather, but Ninjago's creator, effectively goes to show how impactful Lloyd’s actions were.  It was also very dreamy and ethereal in setting, along with Lloyd only remembering it as a dream sequence since he chose to go back.  It’s so good.
