This is one of the most loved pieces of music from the Ninjago TV Show, having played at the climax of episode 34, "The Titanium Ninja", when Zane sacrificed himself to defeat the Golden Master. It's an absolutely wonderful piece, and of all the series' music, it's one of the best. The track's real title is "Built to Protect", although for people to find it easier, the video is titled "Zane's Death". The track is also briefly reprised during the season finale episode "Lost in Time".
Analysis: Up to 0:22, we hear a dramatic reprise of The Overlord's theme, followed by a chanting piece that was later used in season four's trailer, which is played up to 0:43. A brief reprise of Garmadon's theme plays until 0:47, followed by a creepy version of The Overlord's theme until 1:03. A new cue plays until 1:14, at which point a dramatic version of the overture plays until 1:28. The overture is followed by a dramatic new theme until 2:06. This is followed by a sad choral piece - a rendition of Dr. Julien's theme, which plays until 3:04. The music ends with a grim fade-out that creates a void for the ending of the scene.
I hope you enjoy! Feel free to comment, like and subscribe for more. A big "thank you" to YouTuber Astrid16 for uploading this track to YouTube, and to Jay Vincent and Michael Kramer for making this beautiful piece, and for sending it to Astrid as well. Thank you all so much!
