Browsing through the Ninjago Wiki page for Chima, I noticed that the Chima footage shown in “Curseworld, Part II” is allegedly taken from an episode in Chima’s first season (although I assume Laval’s line was added). So it’s crackpot theory/speculation time!
In the Chima series finale (spoilers), the animal heroes perform a perfect Illumination that solves literally all of their problems. If we were to assume that Lloyd’s battle with Morro actually took place in the earlier part of the Chima story, then the perfect Illumination would not yet have happened.
In the upcoming hundred episode celebration four-part Ninjago event, the destructive oni are expected to be a grave threat to Ninjago. What if the plot of this event unfolds to show that even the ninja heroes are powerless to stop the onslaught. And when all hope is lost, there appears a light in the sky. It’s the Chima realm, manifest as the Mother Sun (like the Preeminent was the manifestation of the Cursed Realm). Out of the light appears the Phoenix. Having just finally perfected the Chima realm, it is spreading its light to the other realms. And in the end, Chima saves Ninjago.
The only foundation for this is a single instance of unverified circumstantial evidence, so I am 95% certain this will never happen. I’d probably be upset if it actually did. Still, it’s fun to imagine, though.
