This is one of the most beloved 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 has been reprised numerous times throughout the series, including “Lost in Time”, “Dead Man’s Squall”, and “The Wrath of Kalmaar”.
Analysis: Up to 0:22, we hear a dramatic reprise of The Overlord's theme, followed by a chanting piece ( later used in season four's trailer), which plays 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 upon Zane’s fate.
I hope you enjoy! Feel free to comment, like and subscribe for more. A big "thank you" to Astrid16 for uploading this track, and to Jay Vincent and Michael Kramer for making this beautiful piece. Thank you all so much!
