#chandra rant

Ppl totally miss that fact that Arin is a TEEN, KID. Who got manipulated by Ras using his trauma and insecurities btw

It's okay to dislike a character, even for no reasons, but I saw ppl shit talking about Arin for that arc which lawd have mercy

I legit saw a tiktok saying that Harumi waited LONGER to betray Lloyd. Are we deadass? Harumi and Lloyd knew each other for a week max, her whole plan was about betraying Lloyd, even COMPARING it to Arin is not logical.

They'll never make me hate Misako

There are worse parents (Cliff Gordon and Libber who left Jay at a doorstep?? Dr. Julien with the whole situation with Echo who was then left behind in the light house??) that don't get nearly as much acknowledgement as Misako, from what I saw at least

Misako left Lloyd at the boarding school for a reason that later will benefit Lloyd and others and later seasons (2nd season, 5th season and possibly more that I don't remember) and people still call her research useless, researches she possibly endangered her life for

Not calling her the best mother ever, but she isn't the worst mother either

Cole: Indian and Puerto Ricon

(Lilly was Indian, Lou Puerto Rican)

Kai n Nya: Chinese n Japanese

(Ray Chinese, Maya mixed between Japanese and Chinese)

Jay: mixed

(Libber was American half Spanish, Cliff Gordon half Mexican half Italian)

Zane: robot but his human appearance was black, prolly African American Congo??

Pix: his humanoid appearance has a lot of African American appearance traits (nose, lips, etc)

Lloyd: Japanese, Chinese

(Garmadon Chinese, Misako Japanese)

Skylor: Chinese

Garmadon n Wu: Chinese

Misako: Japanese

Arin: Afro-Caribbean (like his voice actor afaik!)

Percival: white boy, prolly British or sum

Sora: Filipino

Frak: serpentine, but if serpentines would have nationalities, Syrian

(Serpentines were first ever mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh, in ancient Mesopotamia but in modern day it would be Iraq, eastern Syria)

I saw people saying that they hated Arin for "betraying Lloyd" and he's the "worst best character" in their opinion.

Did we watch the same dr tho?? Like genuinely

Where is the villain arc? Where is the "betraying Lloyd"?

Like in PREVIOUS season when he stared into that mirror that show your fear his reflection was code, reflecting his fear of loosing his humanity and then he turns off his emotions which makes him loose his humanity, only for the reason of not being productive.

And I'm sorry, u wanna tell me that, for example Pixal wouldn't stop him? In prime empire she was on about that nindroids are the same as humans and their emotions are real

I get it that it was meant to show how much Nya's "death" affected him, but it doesn't work with his character especially that he turns on the emotions after one episode where he was told to accept his emotions WHICH HE PERFECTLY DID BEFORE....

Bfr s7

He never had a thought of being trans, since he strictly followed his programing

Later after s4 he never had time to think about it, since he was in Zane's head and seemed to help him 24/7.

Though he never enjoyed being used she/her to and feminine labels.

S7

He rebuild his body bc he wanted to be a separate person + urgent situation to safe Cyrus Borg. But he did adopt a masculine persona because he knew that Samurai X, even if Nya was its previous owner was always viewed as a man and decided to go with it, later realizing that he likes it.

After s7 bfr s8

After being in the news a bunch, having a time to grow into the Samurai X persona and being called a 'he' by society he actually realized that he likes that! But he was too nervous to say it to the ninja because they would for sure ask how he understood it and then he would need to reveal his X persona.

S8

Even though he was later revealed that he was Samurai X, he still didn't come out to anyone and started to be kinda unsure about it.

S9

He eventually came out to Nya and Skylor, despite it being not really a good moment... But they accepted him! They started to use he/him to him, but in that time he still had the name P.I.X.A.L/Pixal.

After s10

He eventually came out to all the ninja and started to use 'Pixel' to himself, because in his opinion it was sounded more masculine. Though, he felt really awkward and kinds not in his plate when called a man so others quickly let go of that and kept his old voice.

In between s11 n before s15

Everything was relative the same.

S15

After he revealed miniPixs, he realized that he really liked the name Pix and decided to take it! Renaming the miniPix7 that he still had left to MiniPixi.

After S15 n then dr, after his awakening
