LEGO Ninjago: the philosophy of Cruzita

Лего Ниндзяго: философия КружитсуLEGO Ninjago collection based on the original game world. Sets include figures of the characters, their weapons designers to create equipment and locations, as well as cards for the Board game. The game world described in its counterpart the popular animated series. The game exists since 2011, in 2013 it was supposed to be closed and replaced with the following, but it not only survived, but will in the next year the basis for a feature film.

The fact that it turned out that adolescents are not only interested in where to buy LEGO Ninjago (the answer to this question – on the website ihrashky.ua), but also create thematic communities in social networks, write fanfiction and draw schematic plastic heroes in the form of cute boys (and one cute young ladies). And if you think about it, it’s not surprising.

First, an interesting setting that combines cyberpunk, science fiction and all the cliches of films about the ancient martial art. Thus in archaic Japanese village there are power lines, a young ninja playing video games, eating pizza and order a delivery in a mountain monastery to feed the dragons, and enlightened Sensei Wu puts it in his green tea two sugars. An ancient martial art called “Cruzita” (original – Spinjitsu); its main is to create a vortex which protects contractor’s and throws the opponent. Although the main antagonist of the heroes is very similar to Darth Vader, the force is the light and dark sides, and is divided into four elements: Fire, Ice, Earth and Lightning. So divided the special qualities of the four ninjas, their amazing weapons and dragons. And if you apply the forces of the elements at the same time, you get “Storm of Creation” allows to create “something from nothing”.

And here is the main secret of attraction of this story: interesting to see how the characters constantly learn, train combat skills and concentration and comprehend the maxims of philosophy, Cruits.

It is based on a simplified Zen Buddhism plus common sense and rules of human coexistence, and the resulting set of rules is clear and simple:

– the power is in each, but it is necessary to find the key;
– regular exercise – the key to success;
the best way to defeat an enemy is to make him your friend;
– sharp weapons – continued acute of mind;
– let your dragon go through the moult, although there is no guarantee that he’ll be back;
– good relationship with parents is important;
– a team of friends can do more than an arrogant loner;
– in the end good always wins.

Perhaps not the worst set of values, which can offer square plastic men with prehensile claws instead of hands.
