His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]
Background[]
- When they were young he tried to dissuade Wu from trespassing into Serpentine territory and later he lied to his father about the matter so that Wu would not get in trouble
- When he caught his brother teaching Aspheera Spinjitzu, he warned him that she couldn’t be trusted
- After Aspheera overthrew Mambo, he decided to help Wu defeat her using the Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu
- When he and Wu accidentally lost one of their father’s katanas while sparring, Garmadon went to retrieve it due to his brother being too scared, which ultimately resulted in getting bitten by the Great Devourer and beginning his corruption
- Despite being corrupted into by the Great Devourer, he resisted the effects for multiple decades and did heroic deeds as long as he could.
- Over the years, even after their father’s death, he and Wu would remain close and even fought Samukai together at some point
- Although he decided to train under Master Chen, once he realized Chen was a horrific villain and planned to disrupt the truce between humanity and Serpentine and betray his own race for pure profit he abandoned himand when the Serpentine War broke out, he refused to side with the snakes, which Chen tried to convince him of, and rejoined with his brother and the Elemental Masters
- He was the one who started the idea of using the Sacred Flutes to lock the Serpentine away
- He and Wu used the Time Blades to defeat the Time Twins and later cast them out knowing Time was too powerful for anyone to control
Rise of the Snakes[]
- Even though he attacked his brother during their reunion in the Realm of Madness, he immediately stopped when Wu revealed Lloyd was in danger
- He forms an alliance with Wu and guides him through the Realm of Madness
- He admits he never wanted Lloyd to follow the same path he did and genuinely thanks Wu for taking care of him
- He went with the Ninja to the Fire Temple where he defeated several Serpentine and saved Lloyd
- When Lloyd was separated from the group he tried to stay and save him from the eruption despite the others protests
- He genuinely thanks Kai for saving Lloyd
- Though he is proud at first when his son is revealed to be the Green Ninja, he instantly becomes discouraged and sad when he realizes he’ll have to fight him
- When Nya reported the ninja had been captured he tried to help but Lloyd refuse, having caught Garmadon trying to hack the Destiny’s Bounty for information on the ninja

Legacy of the Green Ninja[]
- He’s seen to be reluctant to fight his son, which even The Overlord calls him out for
- He tried to resist the Overlord’s control of his body during the fight with Lloyd
March of the Oni[]
- He helped Lloyd awaken his Oni powers.
- He helped defeat the Omega and his Oni empire who were planning to destroy all 16 realms.
- While the admirable standards are pretty high he stands out for his repeated saving the world and doing it while being an amoral villain forced into evil.
Crystalized[]
- He transforms into his Oni form to destroy many Crystal thugs.
- He with Lloyd defeated some Crystal warriors.
- He "sacrifices" himself for Lloyd's life against The Overlord, but he fakes his death and congratulates Lloyd for his Oni form.
- He helped his family and allies to rebuild the Monastery.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He spends most of the series as a villain trying to take over the world, so his evil deeds outweigh the good ones. Although he redeems himself by the end of the original series, he still acts rather arrogantly even if he is trying to improve himself.
Trivia[]
- He is the only IA so far to be considered both IA and NPG at the same time due to varying moral circumstances. This is because in his Sensei Garmadon form, he has a different moral agency and isn't corrupted by darkness.
- He and Ronin are currently the only Ninjago characters to be Inconsistently Admirable
- Like many other characters, his fate after the merge is unknown and his current whereabouts have not yet been revealed
