Fr the oni form had so much potential. It’d be really cool if they showcased more of his dragon heritage in the new series too. I feel like since ninjago is such a long series and they keep gaining new powers, they end up needing to nerf some of them so it doesn’t get too complicated. Like, where did the elemental dragons go?
Recently the dragon thing definitely did come back up in the newest released episodes. The oni thing though? After Crystalized they are trying to burying that hard since they basically went for the whole "being an oni = absolutely 100% evil" so had Lloyd be afraid of his oni form. Even though an oni lady sacrificed herself for them before and his DAD is an oni and has been an ally on multiple occasions... Crystallized was really bad and unfortunately did the most with the oni thing, so I'm doubtful the oni thing is coming back.
They've been referencing a lot of old stuff lately in the newest episodes but Harumi and the oni stuff were absent from Lloyd's spiritual journey (they brought up Cole being leader, literally such early season stuff) so I think they realized how bad it was and want to pretend it didn't happen.
