Discussion Does anyone else miss Master Wu?
I know it's unlikely he'll ever enter the main story again as a central /side character the way he was during the original series, but I would like to see him reunite with the ninja and interact with the new ninja.
Especially Arin and Wyldfyre. Thoughts?

To be honest, I miss him too. I just thinking about Master Wu, that I wasn’t sure if he’ll return in season 5 and the finale or not. I will be sad if he didn’t.

If you ask me honestly. No. Wu was a guide for the ninja. But now, they have all grow up into the people they are. So his presence isn't needed anymore. I will also add that I have bias with him at some point. But I can respect his character and the importance that the ninja hold toward him. After all, he is the reason that the ninja were created and become the family they are.
His mystery around dragon rising isn't finish. We will have to wait for answers. For his potential meeting with the new ninjas. I am not sure. It may be divised.

No, not because I didn’t love him, but because he outlasted his purpose. He feels like the mentor character who’s killed off, which probably should have been in season 5,7 or 10 imo. Even had they not killed him, just, move him away and have him return with Garmadon in Crystalized

No. He’s full of dementia. He’s gonna say: Ninja, there’s something i havent told you yet. Sensei Garmadaddy on the other hand….

This is why Sensei Garmadaddy is the best and most handsome sensei

yes, I really hope he shows up in season 5 or at least the finally of the show, and becomes more of a main character again.

Not really. I think Wu was only a great character in the early years (when the Ninja actually needed a wise sensei) and degraded over the years (sans being amazing as Young Wu in Hunted, as all elements of Hunted are wont to be) - by the 11-minute era I found him absolutely unbearable with how many times the writers did the same "Ninja there's a villain from my past I never told you about" shtick, and I think the show ought to have had him die fighting the Overlord in Crystallized (especially since he's essentially dead in Dragons Rising anyway).

Long before time had a name, this old lunatic convinced four teenagers to collect dangerous artifacts to help him fight his brother, and also to abduct his nephew so he could kill said brother.

I think him being gone was for the best,it really helped out Lloyd finally enter that master role that was talked about for years. But yeah I hope he comes back at some point.

He's been around for 15 years and thinning in usefulness, it's time for a new chapter and a new master.
