With the most recent season of Ninjago almost being a year old at the time of writing this, I believe the community has had more than enough time to process crystalized. With that being said, I think we should all observe the situation Harumi was put through with her return in crystalized. "The Overlord". The ancient evil of Ninjago, and the darkness in the balance arrived to Harumi asking for help with her current state in the Departed Realm. In my eyes, Harumi had no moment to loose if she were to be resurrected, no matter the cost. It’s her hesitation at the beginning of Crystalized Part 2 that sets up her entire arc for the rest of the season. Being proposed such a burden, Harumi felt doubtful even in the beginning. What we witness in Crystalized Part 2 is the result of her questioning her own actions while keeping the façade of the fierce "The Quiet One". Harumi shouldn’t be shunned too quickly for her actions throughout the season, as we can tell from the beginning she was hesitant and persistent to please "The Crystal King". Harumi thought about Lloyd on several occasions throughout the season, and I believe this set up her character at the end of the season. We see many shots of Harumi becoming more hesitant closer to the conclusion but alas, she wasn’t ready to be vocal about it due to the position she was in. How far she had come. Harumi's character definitely is an interesting one in Ninjago: Crystalized, but it depends on which perspective you see her side of the story.
