Mandate Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Ha ha is all i have to say to those who didnt thibk ronin was canon! NINJAGO Theories is still in denial. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 NINJAGO Theories is still in denial. that doesn't surprise me. NT has always been one for taking things to far. I called it months ago that Ronin was canon and NT fought it as hard as they could. I guess I have a reason to buy Shadows of Ronin (and a PSP Vita) ;) Quote

That's what you want. NINJAGO Theories is still in denial. And it's run by a child who finds his fanfiction defies all storyline in Ninjago from happening. Ninjago Theories is not a source for factual information, or fact based/backed theories. They're just too far out there. Edited March 12, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
coolcab1 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 The announcement of Shadow of Ronin said that it was a untold story from the show but, some people are too ignorant to see it. Quote
Mandate Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) No, no. You want a New 3DS. That's what you want. Yep, Vita is kinda cool but it's more or less abandoned. Better off getting a 3DS if you ever plan to play any game other than SoR. And it's run by a child who finds his fanfiction defies all storyline in Ninjago from happening. Ninjago Theories is not a source for factual information, or fact based/backed theories. They're just too far out there. The main thing I hate about that blog is their complete refusal to roll with the punches in NINJAGO. They never work with the meta of it, and whenever they do it's completely stupid like their instant conclusion that Turner was Griffin simply because Garmadon gave Jay an epic burn on the subject of "what is an element, and what isn't?". In that was a complete disregard for keeping in mind an alternate possibility on the subject, and for they dished out some poorly structured arguments and irrelevant points on some random kid that sassed them over it. They refuse to learn from their mistakes, a track record of false theories and they're still churning them out with absolutely no regard for the possibility that they could be false, and insist on a "MY WORD IS FINAL!" policy. I'm not going to pretend that I'm an angel when it comes to this sort of stuff, but when it comes to things such as Ronin being entirely canon I accept that willingly. And while I do insist that there is no direct evidence for Ronin being Kai's father, I'm willing to bet money that Ronin actually is Kai's father. It doesn't take Einstein to figure out the relationship between a villain slotted to be a good guy coupled with Kai in a red vehicle named after said villain and a video game about the exact same guy that bridges the gap between season 4 and 5 also set to explain inconsistencies in season 4 immediately after they had a set-up for "dark secrets" to be revealed about Kai's father. Like, really. There's not much point in denying it. It also doesn't take every famous scientist that ever lived to figure out that when multiple official sources say something is canon, IT'S CANON.

But children (Ninjago Theories) aren't scientists, so... And my incessant "Ronin is Kai's father" is just speculation on my part, but it's always fun to push buttons. It's just that... it would be so perfect and an exciting plot point. I guess I just get too carried away is all. But seriously, #daddyronin2015 Edited March 13, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote

There is no direct evidence for it, but there's a pile of indirect evidence for it. Quote

PenPlays Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Ronin: Kai, I am your father. Kai: Noooooo!! Either that scene (should #daddyronin2015 be legit) is going to be super well written and dramatic, or they're going to take full advantage of that quote. If done right, I don't care either way.

Mandate Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Super accurate edition: Ronin: Master Chen never told you what happened to your father... Kai: He told me enough! He told me NOTHING! Ronin: That's exactly the point I was making. Kai: Oh. Ronin: The truth is... I am your father. Kai: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Super weird edition: Ronin: Master Chen never told you what happened to your father... Kai: He told me enough! He told me NOTHING! Ronin: That's exactly the point I was making. Kai: Oh. Ronin: The truth is... I am your mother. Everyone else: WHAAAAAAAAT? Quote

Anyway I saw on instagram that some game journalist got the game early so I'll try and get some info on if Ronin is Kai's father or not.

Mandate Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 No clue what as to what you mean by a "thumb wars" reference? The only experience I have with anything called thumb wars is a literal thumb war with friends :P Quote

The only experience I have with anything called thumb wars is a literal thumb war with friends :P It's a parody of star wars. Darth Vader says that he is Luke's mother instead of father. Quote

Edit: here's a link https://instagram.com/p/0PevnqH48q/ I'd rather not be spoiled. I'm more than willing to wait a week and a half. It's listed on the 3DS eShop, by the way. screenshots and all. No trailers though. Quote
DuckBricks Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Is there a trailer, now? Not yet as far as I can tell... Edited March 16, 2015 by legozebra Quote
PenPlays Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 So what was that link before? Like I said. It's not a trailer. It's a (according to coolcab) a videogame journalist's instagram. Please divert all Shadow of Ronin discussion to this thread, please! Quote
Ninja of Fire Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 It just shows a tiny part of the intro (in German, I think), and a bit of gameplay. Quote
Mandate Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Sigh... now we have three different topics to avoid discussing the entirety of NINJAGO's plot in. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Agreed! We just need a master topic, i agree it would be a bit much but then again it would allow us to cover everything! Quote
PenPlays Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 This is the plot topic. Shadow of Ronin is the gameplay topic. The action theme thread is for physical sets only. Quote
Mr Greeble Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Just calling it now, I'm thinking Ronin is going to actually be a good guy, and then become possessed and release the shadow samurai. (sits back and waits for people to attack this idea with evidence) Quote
PenPlays Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Just calling it now, I'm thinking Ronin is going to actually be a good guy, and then become possessed and release the shadow samurai. (sits back and waits for people to attack this idea with evidence) I'd like to non-violently direct you to the multiple times Ronin has been stated to have erased the Ninja's memory of everything regarding Spinjitzu. Not to mention the times that he's been mentioned to intentionally unleash a darker power. Not very nice, if I'd say so myself. EDIT: May I also be the first to dub the absolutely fantastic dark Samurai gear Ronin dons as "Oni Ronin?" Edited March 17, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
Ninja of Fire Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 He is a Masterless Samurai, though. And maybe he'll turn good by the end of the game and help then fight Morro. Quote
