His Good Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]

In General[]

  • Even though he was originally an arrogant slob who believed himself to be the greatest fighter in Ninjago, as the seasons passed, he slowly lost all these traits and became humbler. By the time of Hunted, he doesn't even take credit for his actions as the Brown Ninja anymore.
  • He has been a very important member of the team on several occasions and despite being a dimwit, he has true noble intentions and wants to help defeat the Ninja's enemies.
    • By the time of Possession, the Ninja trusted him enough to give him the Prototype X-1 and used him as inspiration to create the autopilot in the Destiny's Bounty.
  • Even though, he's constantly played for comedy, it doesn't paint him as a total clown as he is still shown to be a skilled fighter and someone who takes the threats to Ninjago seriously.
  • Despite the high admirable standard, Dareth stands out for taking command of the Stone Army which took out one of the Ninja's biggest challenges during the Overlord's reign and helping lead the Ninja to victory against the Overlord by using the Stone Army to attack and distract the Corrupted Nya while the Ninja got Lloyd to the Overlord, saving all of Ninjago from being consumed by darkness. Not to mention his lack of resources compared to the Ninja, Elemental Masters, and even Ronin has more than him.

Legacy Of The Green Ninja[]

  • He opened a fighting Dojo where he taught young children different fighting styles so they could learn to fight and defend themselves.
  • When the Ninja were looking for a place to train Lloyd in, Dareth allowed them to train at his Mojo Dojo for free and was impressed by Kai's demonstration of Spinjitzu.
  • Even though he kept trying to prove himself stronger than the Ninja, he later apologized for his behavior, becoming good friends with the Ninja.
  • When Captain Soto and his pirates attacked the city, he jumped into their ship and tried to fight them before being subdued.
  • During the Ninjaball Run, he gave a speech about the importance of the Dojo which caused the crowd to cheer for the Ninja and motivated Lloyd to win, which ultimately led to the Ninja reclaiming the Bounty from Lord Garmadon.
  • When the Stone Warriors began to attack Ninjago and one entered the Dojo, he jumped in between him and his students, ordering all of them to run while he stayed behind to try and fight the Stone Warriors.
  • When General Kozu entered the Dojo, he and his students attacked and overwhelmed him.
  • When the Overlord arrived in Ninjago, he tried to stand up to him and force him to leave.
  • He was the only one who survived the Overlord's corruption and cheered when he saw Lloyd return on the Golden Mech.
  • He found the Overlord's helmet and put it on which neutralized the Stone Army. Though he was unaware of this at first, after Wu informed him, he used it to order the Stone Warriors to stop attacking the Ninja.
  • He rode the Ultra Dragon to the Overlord's fortress where the Ninja accepted him as one of their own, He then used Kai's Elemental blade to give the Ninja's battle cry and order the Stone Warriors to attack the Overlord.

Rebooted[]

  • After the defeat of the Overlord, he joined the Ninja officially and resided with them at the Ninja Academy they founded.
  • While the Ninja left the academy to fight the Golden Master, Dareth remained behind to take care of the children.

Crystalized[]

  • He and Skylor visited the ninja in prison to inform them of a plan Dareth had strategized to get them out.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
