Master Wu, formerly known as Sensei Wu, is a major protagonist in the Ninjago franchise. He is the secondborn son of the late and legendary First Spinjitzu Master who created Spinjitzu and the land of Ninjago, the younger brother of Garmadon and the paternal uncle of Lloyd. Following his father's death, he became the protector of the legendary golden weapons his father used to create Ninjago, hiding them away after defeating a corrupted Garmadon who sought the weapons to obtain ultimate power, recruiting the main characters to train as ninja decades later in order to find the Golden weapons to stop the reemerged Garmadon once and for all. He is the leader and mentor of the ninja and the former archenemy of Garmadon.
He was voiced by Paul Dobson.

- Although he initially distrusted the Serpentine for previously starting the Serpentine War, he realized he was wrong and that Chen actually tricked them into starting the war and was the true villain in that conflict, manipulating humanity and Serpentine against each other all along for his benefit.
- He was willing to consider to Chen's truce offer of leaving Ninjago alone if he and the heroes left, pointing out to Garmadon that the ninja were scattered and stranded, and it might be the only way to save Ninjago on the chance Chen was genuine, but abandoned it once it was clear Chen was not.
- Although he briefly (and very understandably) got angry at Garmadon when Chen revealed that Garmadon stole Wu's love letter to Misako and passed it off as his own to win over her love in the past and marry her, he forgave him and honored him at his memorial after he sacrificed himself to defeat Chen and his army, telling Lloyd when Lloyd said he was the son of Lord Garmadon that he was also the student of Sensei Garmadon.

- He revealed to Nya that her/Kai's mother was the elemental master of water and she inherited her abilities before beginning training her to unlock her power.

- He gave the ninja new uniforms embedded in Deepstone to make them immune from ghost possession from Morro and his allies.

- He dueled Ronin when he stole the Sword and betrayed the group in order to pay off his own debts and followed him onboard his dragon, realizing he wasn't on the helicopter and that he tricked them.

- He stopped Nya from getting into an unnecessary battle with Morro's allies as it would only distract them and they needed to focus on the necessary battles ahead.

- He tried to save Morro after Nya defeated the Preeminent and the Preeminent was grabbing onto her allies to drown them with her, telling Morro that all of his students were his prized pupils and that it took others to make everyone including himself stronger.

- He tells Misako about how he was hit with the Time Punch by Acronix which was rapidly aging him to death but told her not to tell the ninja as it would distract them from the far more important mission of stopping Arconix and Krux.
- He told Lloyd not to blame himself for not being there to help him against his fight with Acronix, telling him he wanted all the ninja together and blamed himself for fighting Acronix alone, warning the ninja to stick together and always be vigilant as he made previously that mistake with Acronix.
- He gave genuine advice/tried to reason with Acronix and Krux after they captured him that their celebrations were premature as his ninja were still out there to stop them and they were getting cocky, not that they listened to him though.
- After following Acronix and Krux into the past where their previous battle took place and being cured of the Time Punch with the Reversal Blade with the help of Nya, he used the blade to reverse the Time Twins escape so he, Kai, and Nya could infiltrate their time machine the Iron Doom and face them.

- He tracked down Kai, Zane, and Jay to the Dragon Hunter's camp where they were imprisoned and convinced Cole to infiltrate the camp with him to rescue their friends, throwing a piece of vengestone to them so they could restrain Slab before leaving since he realized his presence as part Oni was irritating the dragons and making it worse, leaving to help them another way.
- He tries to rescue the other ninja with Cole by using the Dragon Hunter's chain to "accidentally" free the ninja instead of shooting the dragon.
- He helped construct a fake Firstbourne mech (Firstbourne being the mother of all dragons and dragon of the First Spinjitzu Master) with the ninja by secretly getting parts from the Dragon Hunters to build it.
- He piloted the fake Firstbourne mech to distract the Iron Baron and the Dragon Hunters to allow Cole to free the other ninja but once the real Firstbourne attacked the camp, he convinced the ninja to free all the enslaved dragons in the camp as the Firstbourne was only attacking because of that and they had a responsibility to do what is right which stopped the Firstbourne attack and made the dragons depart peacefully.

- Although he technically lied to Faith about knowing where the Dragon Armor was, it wasn't really a lie as he realized from his previous vision of his father that all he needed was Faith to find the armor and this was necessary to prevent the group from losing hope and turning back where they would face death as Zane pointed out.

- He alerts the group that the Hunters were following them so they can escape.
- He saved Cole from Jet Jack.
- He remorsefully admitted the truth to Faith at the Oni fortress that he wasn't sure where the Dragon Armor was as he just knew he needed was her which is why he lied and he ended up being proven right as he then discovered the map to the Dragon Armor by getting Faith to move the fortress door just like he knew all along he needed Faith.
- He learned how to use a chain blaster and ride a dragon in order to survive the Realm of Oni and Dragons.
- He went back to save Faith after she was let herself get captured to save him even if it was probably a trap and apologizes to Faith for not heeding her advice to leave after they all got captured even though Faith herself points out it wasn't really his fault.
- He regained all of his memory and became Master Wu once again, breaking free of his bonds and battling the Dragon Hunters before surrendering and agreeing to lead the Iron Baron to the Dragon Armor once he realized he was outnumbered in exchange for the Iron Baron agreeing to release them all back to Ninjago once he got the Dragon Armor.
- He tried to reason with the Iron Baron, asking him why he lied to his followers and pointing out he already controlled this realm so why did he need the Dragon Armor, and was disgusted by Iron Baron's answer of desiring limitless power and realms to rule while Baron himself admitting that it would never be enough.

The Firstbourne followed his father because of his father's heart and compassion, warning the Iron Baron about what she sensed in him, but the Iron Baron didn't listen and got defeated once and for all.
- He befriends and rides the Firstbourne back to the ninja, Faith, and the redeemed Dragon Hunters, thanking/bowing to the ninja for guiding him while they were in this realm, successfully asking permission from the Firstbourne to take them home and offering to Faith to come with them to Ninjago and happily bid her farewell when she decided to stay in the First Realm to lead her people.

Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu[]

- He informed Kai, Cole, and Jay that Aspheera wasn't looking for Garmadon but for him and revealed to the ninja the origin story of Aspheera and how he stopped her from starting a war between human and Serpentine after she betrayed him which is why she wants revenge after being freed from her imprisonment.
- He had P.I.X.A.L activate the monastery's new defenses to hold off Aspheera's forces.
- He was consumed with remorse as he felt responsible for the ninja's quest leading to Aspheera's return and Kai losing his powers even though it wasn't his fault but the ninja's for opening a tomb without leading the engravement first and he was willing to sacrifice himself to save P.I.X.A.L, Jay, Cole, and Kai when they were trapped in the monastery by Aspheera's forces, repeatedly apologizing and telling them that he couldn't be their master and teach them responsibility if he ran away from his own before Kai apologized for being a jerk and convinced him they still needed him and they had to stick together.

- Although he fought the ninja to get the traveler's tea they took from him, he only did as a last resort and to actually protect the ninja, pleading with them after they tied him and gagged him not to go and remorsefully revealing to P.I.X.A.L after the ninja left that he was trying to warn them all along that traveler's tea won't work in the Never-Realm and he had lied so he could go alone and dedicating himself to trying to get them back for the rest of the season.
- He repeatedly used traveler's tea to keep opening dimensions until he and P.I.X.A.L found the Never-Realm and congratulated P.I.X.A.L for defeating the Preeminent and returning her back to the Departed Realm when it temporarily broke through.
- He remorsefully looked at a picture of the ninja when he thought they weren't coming back but came outside once P.I.X.A.L informed him of the portal and realized it was them, happily hugging and welcoming the ninja home and tearfully reuniting with Zane.

- He searched for a kidnapped Zane using security cameras and after getting kidnapped by the Mechanic's forces, he tried to tell Zane not to give up the Motherboard to him so he could finish the gate to allow Unagami to enter the real world even though the Mechanic threatened to hurt him to get Zane to hand it over. After Zane did, Wu sent a distress call to P.I.X.A.L to rescue them.
- He helped escort Milton Dyer to Borg Tower so Dyer could reason with and redeem Unagami.
Master of the Mountain[]
- He greeted King Vangelis on behalf of the ninja, complimenting the kingdom of Shintaro for its beauty and stating how it was their honor to be invited by King Vangelis.

- He stayed behind with Princess Vania to cover for the ninja while they were gone to rescue Cole.
- He went to Princess Vania and Cole to convince King Vangelis to send his guards to defeat the evil Skull Sorcerer and rescue the other ninja who were lost in the caves before confronting Vangelis when he revealed himself to be the Skull Sorcerer.
- He told Cole to grab his arm while they were falling into Vangelis' pit so Princess Vania could rescue them but when her wingsuit couldn't hold all of them and they all fell, he complimented Princess Vania for handling the situation well since he and Cole didn't have a plan.
- He freed Cole from a spider's web cocoon.
- He comforted Cole and inspired him to unlock his true elemental potential by telling him to stop worrying about escaping from Vangelis' pit and let the earth connect with him, allowing them and their new friends, the party adventurers Korgan, Plundar, and Fungus to escape.
- He deflected lava balls from the lava monster back at him to save the group.
- He revealed to the rest of the group that the Heart of the Mountain they discovered was the temple of the Masters of Earth and encouraged Cole to open it as only an Earth Elemental Master could.
- Although he was depressed at the beginning of the season as he believed the ninja no longer needed him, he realized with the help of Vania that they still did, inspiring Cole to not give up in trying to do the Spinjitzu burst, reminding both of them that ninja never quit and from now on neither do masters.
- He gave a speech to the rest of the group, inspiring them not to lose hope despite their dire situation and was the first to support Cole's plan to escape back to the surface.
- He stayed behind with Princess Vania to hold off Halimar and the Royal Guard to allow Cole and the others to escape.
- He saved the ninja from the Grief Bringer dragon and led Princess Vania and the Shintaro Royal Guard as reinforcements to aid the ninja, Geckle, and Munce.

The Island[]
- He went on an expedition with Misako, Clutch Powers, and Power's interns to confirm Misako's theory on an uncharted island near a storm belt and explored the jungle once they got shipwrecked on the island from the storm.
- He greeted the ninja and assured them he and the rest of the expedition were fine after being imprisoned by the Keepers.
- After being freed by Lloyd, he went out to look for Jay with the others.
- He saved Misako from one of the Keepers.
Seabound[]
- He revealed to the ninja the reason Nya's powers were not working was because wind and water weren't elements under the control of the First Spinjitzu Master but the dragon spirit Wojira and revealed the legend of Wojira to them.
- He sent most of the ninja on a mission to go to the underwater trench to figure out what the mysterious energy signal that was disrupting Nya's powers and causing problems was while he, Cole, and Kai stayed back to protect Ninjago City.
- He convinced Nya to go on the journey to the trench when she began having doubts due to her insecurities.
- He conducted an experiment to see the effects of Elemental powers on former Elemental Masters with the help of Kai and his father Ray as the willing subjects before leaving with them, Cole, and Misako to go to the Explorer's club to confront Clutch Powers and get back the Storm Amulet he stole.
- He got the amulet back from Clutch and dueled Kalmaar for it.
- He saved Cole from Kalmaar.
- He thanked papergirl Antonia for her help in protecting the amulet even though she pointed out she still lost it to Kalmaar, telling her she did everything she could.
- He surrendered to Kalmaar when he held Misako and the others hostage and answered his question of what a ninja means, telling Kalmaar it was someone who protects before Kalmaar cut him off before going back to fighting Kalmaar's forces once Nya freed him and the others.
- He told Nya and Jay to get to the police station to meet up with him and the others. After learning that Kalmaar had awoken Wojira, he told P.I.X.A.L to get her submersible combat crafts ready and issue an emergency evacuation of the city.
- He saved news anchor Gayle Gossip and her anchor Vinny from Kalmaar and Wojira.
- He saved two young children from Kalmaar and Wojira.

- He fought off Kalmaar's forces with the others.
- He tried to convince Nya not to leave as she was now the ocean and gave the eulogy at her funeral, reminding everyone of her courage and strength that saved them time and time again and that she would always be with them even if they couldn't save her.
Crystalized[]
- Wu went over all the scrolls in his library for a year in hopes of finding a solution to bringing Nya back. When Cole tells him of the Vengestone crisis, they agreed to get the team back together.
- He stopped Aspheera from leaving and refusing to save Nya by reluctantly agreeing to her petty demands to settle scores through various games.
- Although he refused to help the Ninja with their plan to strip Nya of her powers and showed little if no sympathy over them being arrested after succeeding, they broke the law to do this, so his behavior is more or less justified.
- It was later revealed that Wu wasn't happy with them being thrown in prison, showing that he still cared for them even though they broke the law.
