The teaser for the new installment March of the Oni just got released, and like I predicted, it doesn't show that much from the new movie...or Season 10, as it's called for some reason.
The main focus is this mysterious cloud of darkness devouring everything, so I guess that warning from Garmadon was meant to be taken literally. If you pay attention, you'll notice that the Realm Crystal is actually in this trailer, so it looks like the Oni will be using that to escape. Nice that this movie will acknowledge continuity and not just forget about it like it was never there *Cough*Airjitzu*Cough*Elemental Dragons*Cough*.
The only thing from the Legacy sets that was shown in this teaser was the new suits, so the sets will at least have some relevance to the story. If the Legacy sets really are made for this movie, I'm expecting a second wave of sets with new content and minifigures of the Oni. After all, Hunted teased it, and this teaser actually does give a sneak peek at a new Oni minifigure. One theory I had earlier is that the first half will focus on the Legacy sets, and the second half will focus on the Oni, which does make a lot of sense to me. The second wave could be released in either Spring or Summer.
Finally, this teaser implies that the ninja are going to need help from Garmadon to defeat the Oni, which some people had already predicted. I could see this becoming an arc where Garmadon begins to rediscover his goodness, becomes a hero for Ninjago, and reunite with his family. Hunted did hint at this by having him adress Lloyd as his son again, hesitating to kill the remaining members of the Resistance, caring about Harumi, and the reveal that he was trying to protect Ninjago from the Oni the whole time. This leads me to believe that he'll redeem himself once and for all.
Despite how little it showed off, this was definitely an interesting teaser. It managed to give a good idea of where the story is going without spoiling too much. The creators have hyped it up quite a bit, but personally, I'll keep my expectations low this time. I don't want to end up disappointed.
Well it is a teaser, like the new Avengers 4 trailer. And which new movie are you talking about? (I'm only up to Sons of Garmadon and seen the LEGO Ninjago Movie so forgive me if I encountered any spoilers).
The movie that I talked about literally 6 pages ago. March of the Oni, the 2019 special consisting of 4 episodes, has been edited into a TV movie because the crew loved it so much.

Watch the new teaser after you've seen season 9: Hunted.

Oh, march of the oni is a 4 episode special?
It is, but the 4 episodes were edited together into a TV movie, and will be aired that way.
So, now we know how the Legacy sets will tie into the story.
A new miniseries called Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu got released, which focuses on the ninja remembering events from the first 2 seasons. There are 6 short episodes, and each one of them features 1 or 2 of the Legacy sets. One notable thing is that Green and Gold actually shows the Spirit Coves for the first time. It's also interesting that the Earth Driller actually did return, thanks to Nya rebuilding or making a replica of it. I admit, it would have been cool if all of these things could have returned, but it means that March of the Oni can focus more on the, well, Oni.
Speaking of March of the Oni, a new trailer got released, and just like the first one, it doesn't show that much from the movie. We still don't have a full look at the Oni, but we did get a closer look at the one that was teased in the last trailer. The other new things shown are the dark cloud spreading through other Realms, including the Underworld and Cloud Kingdom, Garmadon fighting the ninja on Destiny's Bounty, Cyrus Borg finally returning, Lloyd going into the dark cloud, and Cole falling. Yes, that's what Tommy Andreasen meant when he said that one ninja would fall. Cole literally falls.
I really hope we get at least one set based on this. While the Legacy sets do celebrate the 100th episode, it would be disappointing not to have any actual sets based on the TV movie that has the 100th episode in it, especially after the Oni got so much hype. Besides, not releasing any sets based on it would be a really bad marketing decision. Since we've seen so little of the Oni, I'm guessing that the trailers are just deliberately hiding a lot of the new stuff in this movie.

Since the 100th episode is approaching, I decided to rewatch the pilots.
Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to it, since the runtime of 43 minutes made me feel like it was going to be very rushed. However, after rewatching it, it's not nearly as rushed as I remember, and in that runtime, I really don't think they could have done any better. I still think it would have been better if it was 4 episodes long, like March of the Oni, because it would have allowed for a lot more development, but it's not that bad.
Now I'm looking forward to rewatching the rest of the series because, again, the 100th episode is approaching, and I never watched that much from the early seasons. Would you like to rewatch the rest of the series?

Oh...my...bricks. We now have the names of the Summer sets!
70671 Lloyd's Adventures 70672 Cole's Off-Road Motorcycle 70673 Shuricopter 70674 Fire Cross 70675 4x4 Katana 70676 Lloyd's Titan Robot 70677 Land Bounty 70678 The Forgotten Emperor's Castle 70681 Spinjitzu Slam Lloyd 70682 Spinjitzu Slam Jay 70683 Spinjitzu Slam Zane 70684 Spinjitzu Slam Kai vs Samurai
Keep in mind that we don't know if these are for March of the Oni or Season 10/11, there could be Spinjitzu Slam sets for Cole and Nya, and that I slightly changed the names from the original leak to make more sense.

I've been watching the rest of the series for a while. I stopped before watching Possesion, but then I started again. Do you know the best place to watch old seasons?

Well, if you have been watching the rest of the series, then you should know a good place to watch it.

Seasons 1-5 are on Netflix, but strangely, seasons 6-9 aren't.
