Ninjago: Rebooted
Rebooted is the third season of the computer-animated television series Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu (titled Ninjago from the eleventh season onward). The series was created by Michael Hegner and Tommy Andreasen. The season aired from 29 January to 26 November 2014, following the second season titled Legacy of the Green Ninja. It is succeeded by the fourth season, titled Tournament of Elements. The second season was originally intended to be the final season of the series due to the show and its associated Lego Ninjago product line having been planned as a three-year project. However, due to the strong performance of the television series and feedback from fans within online forums, it was continued with the release of Rebooted. Although the season is titled Rebooted, it is a continuation of the storyline from the previous seasons, rather than a reboot. The season reintroduces Ninjago City with new advanced technology and features the return of the Overlord in digital form as the season's main antagonist. Rebooted is also the first season to introduce the nindroid character P.I.X.A.L. into the series. Voice cast

Plot 
Since the defeat of the Overlord, Ninjago has been rebuilt into a futuristic metropolis, and renamed New Ninjago City. Cyrus Borg, founder and CEO of Borg Industries, has rebuilt the city with technological advancements. Without an enemy to fight, the ninja become teachers at Master Wu's Academy. One day, they receive clearance for a field trip to Borg Industries. Upon arrival, they meet a female android named P.I.X.A.L. The students convince Nya to take a "love" test, and it is revealed, to her shock and horror, that her perfect match is not Jay, but Cole. Cyrus Borg gives the ninja a golden statue as a gift, with the Techno Blades hidden inside. They ultimately learn that the Overlord has survived the final battle and is trapped inside the Digiverse as a computer virus. The Overlord takes control of Cyrus Borg and P.I.X.A.L. to create an army of Nindroids using Zane's blueprints. The Digital Overlord plans to capture Lloyd and use his Golden Power to escape the Digiverse, but the ninja are able to free P.I.X.A.L. from the Overlord's control. Meanwhile, Lloyd is trained by his father, Lord Garmadon. The ninja travel to the power station with the aim of using the Techno Blades to shut down the power, but are forced to fight an army of Nindroids, led by General Cryptor. After the power station is destroyed, a stranger steals the hard drive containing the Digital Overlord and uses electrocobrai to reactivate him. Wu is captured, transformed into a corrupted cyborg and attacks the ninja. They decide to go underground to find the Serpentine, who are now led by Skales, but the Serpentine are unable to help them defeat the Nindroids. Lloyd and Garmadon are attacked by corrupted Wu and Lloyd is captured. The Digital Overlord drains Lloyd of most of his Golden Power. The stranger is revealed to be Pythor, who survived the Great Devourer. Borg tells the ninja they can reboot the system and destroy the Digital Overlord by going into the Digiverse. They reboot the station by using the Golden Power and Lloyd escapes, but the Overlord manages to escape the digital realm half-formed. Lloyd then gives up his remaining Golden Power at the Temple of Light by restoring the elemental powers of the original four ninja. After Kai is captured by Pythor and the Nindroids, the ninja discover a rocket named Arcturus that the Digital Overlord intends to use to retrieve the Golden Weapons from space. After freeing Kai, they stow away on board the rocket and battle the Nindroids for the Golden Weapons but fail to obtain them when the Nindroids return to Ninjago. The ninja return from space using elemental shields and prepare to confront the Digital Overlord, who has become the Golden Master, fulfilling an ancient Serpentine prophecy, and is now wreaking havoc on New Ninjago City. They try to shrink him with a shrinking pill, but this is thwarted by Pythor. With no other option, Zane sacrifices himself to destroy the Golden Master. However, Zane ultimately survives, trapped in Borg's systems, and rebuilds himself with the help of P.I.X.A.L. Episodes
