Llorumi

Llorumi is the het ship between Lloyd and Harumi in the Ninjago fandom.

Sons of Garmadon
Lloyd had a crush on Harumi when he first saw her at the Emperor and Empress’s castle patrolling the palace. They met each other in person when Lloyd and the other ninja got invited to the palace by Harumi. They began to develop a bond, and even snuck out of the castle together one time, and Harumi told Lloyd to call her Rumi. Harumi did have some feelings for the green ninja at some point, which is showcased multiple times, most noticeably when she never told Garmadon about Lloyd’s location until she was almost killed by him. In “The Quiet One”, Lloyd and Harumi were trying to find the third oni mask on an island. Harumi saved Lloyd from being eaten by a tree. Harumi takes the map to the third Oni Mask from his sprained arm. When they were riding to the third Oni mask, they discovered a mysterious sea creature. They escaped, and they got into the temple. After a series of riddles, they were able to take the mask. At that point, Lloyd discovered that Harumi was the “Quiet One” due to him not telling her that he was part Oni. The two would battle for the Oni mask, during the battle Harumi would reveal her past of how the Great Devourer took away her parents and her life as a princess, in the end of the battle Harumi would take the mask. Harumi and the rest of the Sons of Garmadon would take Lloyd along with the Bounty. Harumi and the Sons of Garmadon took Lloyd to the palace were there was secretly a temple called the Temple of Resurrection. Before the ritual to bring back Garmadon, Harumi mocked Lloyd and revealed that she had Lloyd's mother. During the ritual, Lloyd watched Harumi attempt to bring back his father. The other Ninjas would appear and rescue both Lloyd and Misako and stop the ritual. After stopping the ritual Lloyd escorted Harumi to a police truck where she tried to trick him again but he didn't fall for it. After arresting the Sons of Garmadon, they learned that Garmadon was resurrected and that he broke Harumi out and took over Kryptarium prison. Harumi would watch as Lloyd was defeated by his father. The ninja then find Lloyd and take him to Mystake, an old woman who helps them by bringing Lloyd back before he dies. Lloyd has no powers after that though, and he has to get baby Wu from Misako with the help of Nya, while the other ninja go and try to keep the colossus from crushing the city, and Misako and Nya stay back and fight Garmadon. Lloyd tried to get Wu away from Harumi, who came and started attacking him. The bounty was right next to the flying metro they were on, and Harumi caught Lloyd's foot and Lloyd tossed Wu to the other ninja. Then Harumi and Lloyd fought and Harumi made him watch as Garmadon's Colossus "killed" his friends, Lloyd vowed that he wouldn't give up before jumping off the train after and using a para shoot.

Hunted
Lloyd and his allies infiltrate Garmadon’s base and proclaims that the Resistance “never quits”, enraging Harumi. She and the sons of garmadon storm the garbage depot where they are based, but fail to capture Lloyd.

After a tiresome chase in “Two Lies, One Truth”, Lloyd confronts his old flame, stating, “Those who cannot change cannot change anything”. The white-haired girl then mocks him for changing to “a beggar in rags”. From taking his friends, Lloyd succeeds in taking her friends. His friends and Mystake surround her.

In “The Weakest Link”, they held Harumi hostage in the storage room. She then tells Lloyd about her first-hand of Garmadon caring for her “more than his own son”. The ninja replies that his father cares for no one but his “thirst for more power”. He then throws back her mask to the floor, refusing to use the mask in helping him defeat his father. Harumi continues mocking him for not changing, and says that once green, always green. Later, Dareth loses his guard when he keeps an eye on Harumi, and calls Lloyd for help. He implies that the girl escaped when Dareth took on her place. Harumi blows Mystake’s cover when the tea-seller disguised as Harumi takes Skylor in to Garmadon.

In “Saving Faith”, both are watching Skylor and Garmadon control of the Colossus. In the middle of the standoff, Harumi runs off to a nearby building. After helping the citizens, she reaches for an emergency exit, only to be trapped from falling debris. She then goes to the rooftop, at the same time the Colossus hits the buiding. On the verge of collapse, both she and Lloyd looked at each other with slight affection. The ninja said her name before the building got down and Harumi falling to her death. This moment enraged Garmadon, who affirms to give Ninjago City to his son “in ruins”.

After the battle Lloyd went looking for her from the collapse buidling, but he didn't find her. Unbeknownst him, he didn't know that The Overlord resurrected her.

Secrets of Forbidden Spinjitzu
While at the Never-Realm while Lloyd is using a Titan Mech taking a wolf he calls "Red" (who is really Akita transformed into a wolf), Lloyd would repeatly talk about Harumi.

Prime Empire
Lloyd, Jay, and Nya made it to the last level of Terra Domina. Lloyd wanted finish the game, so he got into the ring. His opponent was a resemblance to Harumi. Surprised, Lloyd fought the Harumi Avatar. The avatar tried to manipulate the green ninja, but when he asked a question to her about a past event, she answered wrong. Both ended up defeating each other, with Lloyd transforming into a cube.

Master of the Mountain
Cole brought up Harumi when Lloyd was trying to warn Cole to keep his guard up about Vania.

Crystalized
When his cover in the Crystal Council was blown, Lloyd attempted to escape but was struck by Mister F. When approaching him, the masked figure questioned the barely conscious ninja if he figured out their identity. By singing a familiar lullaby, Lloyd fearfully realized who was behind the Kabuki mask.

During the episode of "A Sinister Shadow" Harumi tells Lloyd how she came back to life after the building collapsed during Hunted and her meeting the Crystal King and why she was collecting Vengestone. During the flashback to the events of Seabound, Harumi witness The Ninja meeting Miss Demeanor. Making her the mysterious Vengestone buyer that the Ninja where trying to track which Harumi retells how she told Lloyd that 'the greatest villain was the one who got away' while dangling the key. Lloyd would distract Harumi to get the keys by asking her what she was using the villains she recruited to which she joked about gathering enough players for a villainous volleyball team to to which Lloyd asked if she was serious and she responded that she wasn't. Harumi would question how Lloyd led Ninjago's greatest team of heros' and mocked him for how gallable he was. Harumi would later reveal to Lloyd of her plans to take the Golden Weapons from the Monastery. Lloyd asked why she needed the Golden Weapons much to Harumi's annoyance, since the Golden Weapons no longer have any power which she would remind him that power isn't real destroyed and asks about how the ninja have lost their power and regained it. Lloyd would also reveal to Harumi the his feelings for her were real while hers wasn't, he would also reveal after the events of Hunted he went looking for her from the collapsed building when she asked 'why didn't you come for me' while secretly he took the key from her. Harumi would try to walk away when Lloyd freed himself to prevent her from taking the weapons while calling her "Rumi" while Lloyd was distracted Mister F would upper-hand him with Harumi revealing that their would be peace within the dark by the Crystal King who seeks to destroy the balance.

Lloyd woke up in a cage and tried to break out, but Harumi would tell him that the cage was made out of Vengestone, Lloyd would try to convince Harumi that she could change her mind while it seemly worked Lloyd fell for manipulation. She remarks that he hasn't learned from being tricked as he's very trusting which is why she believes he'll lose. Lloyd tried to ask Harumi to direct her anger at him when she remarked he didn't save her when the building collapsed. Harumi tries to manipulate Lloyd him that he has side of him that he tries to keep hidden that he has a dark side like his father, being part Oni. When an alarm goes notfying that the ninjas were getting close Harumi revealed to Lloyd that she planned to prevent the ninja from getting to close. Lloyd would watch as Harumi uses the Crystal Spiders to "kill" the ninja. Harumi tries to convice Lloyd that he wouldn't be destroyed if he joins them. Lloyd however refuses and in that moment it prompted him to tap into is Oni side making his eyes turn purple and he breaks out of the cage. Harumi and Lloyd battled, with him using his Oni powers but he realizes what he's doing and regains his senses, he was later shot down by Mister F rendering him unconscious, Harumi then states, "Welcome back, Son of Garmadon".

Later on, The Crystal King was summoned by Aspheera and Harumi durning a ritual. The Crystal King offers Lloyd a choice, he could either stand by Harumi's side and do The Crystal King's bidding or refuse and be destroyed. Lloyd goes with option number three, "Escape and live to fight another day!" kicking The Crystal King, escaping his chains and running off. Furious, The Crystal King orders his council to "DESTROY HIM!!" to which they all chase after Lloyd except for Harumi, who stops and shows visible sadness. The Crystal King noticed her hesitation and asked what was wrong. Harumi stated that she didn’t think Lloyd needed to be destroyed and wanted to try and 'reason' with him instead. The Crystal King declared that moment had passed telling her to obey him and destroy Lloyd. Harumi then obeyed her master and ran after Lloyd. She managed to run in the lead before the rest of the council. When Lloyd came to a fork in hallway, Harumi was the only one who saw which path Lloyd took. Stopping at the fork Pythor asks Harumi which way Lloyd went. Harumi thought for a moment then pointed to the opposite hall lying to the Council and directing them away from Lloyd as she went after Lloyd alone. She confronts Lloyd at the edge of the temple trying and failing to convince him to join her. When the Council caches up, Harumi tells them to 'Stay back!' she noticed how Lloyd kept looking over the edge and at the land that was hundreds of feet below. Harumi became nervous and a little panicked, telling him not to jump and say that he would die if he did, gradually stepping closer and closer to him. Lloyd responds that he hopes she's wrong about that. Then grabs her hand and jumps off the temple, dragging her with him. She screams and Lloyd pulls her to him and holds her close, Harumi then buries her head in his shoulder. Then they land in a river below. Harumi is (temporarily) rendered unconscious. Lloyd swims after her and paddles the two of them to a low hanging palm tree.

Lloyd and Harumi trudge through the jungle of Prime Evils Eye. With Harumi being treated as a captive. Harumi tries flirting with Lloyd which proves ineffective in the end, although it did seem to bother Lloyd emotionally. She manages to get her sword from Lloyd and runs off. Lloyd runs after her and they both fall into quick sand. Lloyd convinces Harumi to give him her sword so he can cut some vines and free himself so that he can (in-turn) free her. Lloyd gets free and throws a vine and pulls her free. However the force of pull in her out causes her to crash into Lloyd landing on on top of him, they fight and Harumi loses and Lloyd ties her hands. Later, Harumi manages to get free and get her sword pursuing Lloyd who jumps onto the Destinies Bounty thanks to the timely arrival of Master Wu and Nya.

While Garmadon was try to teach Lloyd how to transform into his Oni Form with him failing, Garmadon brings up Harumi, making Lloyd angry and made him conjure the elemental power of Destruction turning his hands purple.

When Lloyd and Garmadon confront The Crystal King, Lloyd tries again to convince Harumi to change sides. She choses not to at that moment. However, when the Crystal King declares that he was the one that corrupted The Great Devourer and ultirealizing aused her parents deaths, realizing that Lloyd was never responsible for her parents demise, she rages at the Crystal King preeminently changing sides. She chops his hand off and declares "You took my parents. You took everything from me!" and continues to attack him.

Enraged by his fathers 'death' Lloyd unleashes his full Oni form, to which Harumi seems shocked. This however is short lived when Lloyd retracts his Oni form in shock and shame upon seeing his reflection. The Crystal King calls Lloyd a fool and proceeds to blasts him off the temple. Upon hearing Lloyd's scream, Harumi calls his name, reaching her hand in the direction he fell. The Crystal King was about to kill Harumi for changing sides, when Lloyd rode in on the Golden Ultra Dragon. Towards the end of the fight, Harumi called out to Lloyd and he told her to take cover, to which she obeyed. After Lloyd defeated The Crystal King, Harumi ran to him asking him asking if he was ok. Lloyd then takes her aboard he Golden Ultra Dragon. When returning to the rest of the ninja with Garmadon (who faked his death), and Harumi, Lloyd explained to the ninja that Harumi was on their side now.

At the end of Crystalized, Harumi was redeemed and is now in good terms with Lloyd and the Ninja. As she helps him and the ninja rebuild the Monastery. Her and Lloyd where last seen smiling at each other while rebuilding.

Fanon
Llorumi is a very popular ship in the fandom. However, the crushes-to-enemies development could have affected it overall. Its potential would have rivaled, even surpassed, Jaya, one of the main canon ships in the series. Many people love this ship dynamic as well as their story. Currently, it has more than fifty works in Archive of Our Own. Multiple fan-art has also been made for this pairing.

However, despite the initial popularity, after a few years some fans started to hate the ship more, especially after the release of Crystalized. They claimed that the ship was an "abusive relationship" due to how Harumi physically and mentally traumatised Lloyd. However the ship still had its few supporters, even after Crystalized.

Fans tend to ship both characters as Harumi can be considered a good companion before her betrayal. A few fan-works take place in alternate universes where Harumi is resurrected or returns from the Departed Realm, eventually redeeming herself to the ninja. Ironically enough this actually happened much later in Crystalized. She was resurrected from the Departed Realm by The Crystal King (The Overlord) and is now on the side of good. However, she is currently not a ninja.

During an interview by Brent Miller (Zane), the voice actress for Harumi (Britt McKillip) was ask if she shipped Llorumi, to which she answered 'yes' that she likes Lloyd and Harumi together and loves the build between the two characters. According to Britt McKillip if Lloyd and Harumi had a child they would be named Esme. McKillip's Favorite line as Harumi was every time she said 'Lloyd'. McKillp was asked which of ninjas personalities would she be most attracted to, she stated that she liked Jay's funny side but also likes Lloyd as he is "The Good Guy" and very chivalrous. In the end, Lloyd was the personality she liked the most.
