Currently, Wu is an elderly man with a long white beard. He normally wears robes or a kimono and a conical straw hat. Under it, his bald head is covered by a small black skullcap. He can be seen without this skullcap in "King of Shadows,"[4] "The Art of the Silent Fist,"[5] "Wasted True Potential,"[6] "Awakenings",[7] "The Prodigal Father,"[8] and "I Just Had the Most Outrageous Dream," but he wears it once more in "The Real Fall" (the reasons for missing this skullcap are explained in Trivia section).

His original outfit consisted of simple white robes and pants. Once, he wore the more elaborate white and black kimono from his youth, with Ninjargon characters inscribed in gold along the left side. He is rarely seen without his bamboo bo staff or his tea set. When he retired and opened a tea shop, he used to wear a long, gold sleeveless vest over a white robe. Later he gained an ornate battle suit.

When Wu was assimilated by Pythor, his appearance changed significantly. His tan straw hat became metallic silver, his arms and legs were black, and his face was half metal, with a red eye. More cybernetics were visible on his torso, and both his staff and beard were black instead of gold and white respectively.

When he was struck by the Forward Time Blade, Wu began to rapidly age. A notable change to his appearance was his beard, which grew long enough to touch the ground when he stood up. This was later reversed when Nya cured him with the Reversal Time Blade.

Wu as a child (Season 9)

1/6

Over time, the effects of the Reversal Time Blade had turned him into a baby, but as the effects wore off, he slowly grew back into his normal age. As of the end of Season 8, he was a toddler with very short legs and wears beige footie pajamas and hoodie.

By the beginning of Hunted, Wu had regrown to his child self, wearing beige clothing, with a tear on the lower right side of the jacket and one on the back. He is also seen wearing a brown pilot's helmet. When he grows into a young teenager, Wu's hair has grown and have been tied into a bun, now with a golden headband. He looked similar to his appearance during his journeys with Garmadon when they were young, albeit with white hair and slightly bushier eyebrows because he has been growing up under different circumstances. He wears a sleeveless version of his Dragon Hunter disguise, with new pants and black gloves. Wu later aged further into an older teenager and had grown a mustache and a goatee. In a fight with a hunter, Wu gained a new conical straw hat and slightly resembles his older self. Once he tamed Firstbourne, he wore golden robes under the Dragon Armor. After some more time, he became his old self again.

Around 6 months after the Oni's invasion, Wu has grown sideburns connected to his beard and a single braid of white hair, similar to his father. He now wears a white kimono with a golden dragon symbol on his back and a large red sash around his waist. He has black pants, reddish-brown boots, and white linen on his knees to strengthen his legs. He also has a slightly darker straw hat on his head and wears a long sand-brown cape. During the battle for Shintaro Mountain, he wore straw armor and wooden shoulder pads.

During the crystal infection, Wu wore a new white kimono with gold trim and a lotus symbol on the back that matched his brother's black kimono. Underneath he had golden armor plates, golden knee pads and golden gloves. He also wore a gray belt. However, the most significant part of his clothing was the golden Dragon Armor, with which he did not have a helmet, but his classic straw hat. After the Overlord's defeat, he started wearing his master robes again.

Some time later, Wu changed his appearance again. He shaved off his braid. He started wearing a white kimono with beige robes on top that had gold trim and a gold belt. It had "Master" written in Ninjargon in black and gold on its back.


Age

“I am thousands of years old.”

— Wu to Aspheera, "A Painful Promise"

Wu is thousands of years old. He and his older brother's long lifespan is a result of them being the sons of the First Spinjitzu Master, who also lived for thousands of years before finally succumbing to his mortality. According to Mystake in "Two Lies, One Truth," this is due to their Oni blood. According to Tommy Andreasen, Wu might be 4,000-5,000 years old, but it's unclear.[9]

After returning from the temporal vortex, he was found to have been reverted to a baby due to his exposure to the Reversal Time Blade. However, as the effects of the blade wore off, he rapidly grew back to his normal age over the course of several weeks. By Season 9's beginning, he had become his child self again, grew to a teenager, and eventually his normal self by the end.

Wu and his brother have a peculiar aging pattern. Ages ago, they were children when Garmadon was bitten and grew to be young men by the time their father passed away.[10] Their aging stagnated at some point, and millennia later, they were still physically in their late teens during the events of the Serpentine War, as Garmadon stated in "Only One Can Remain" that he was Lloyd's age (physically) while training under Chen. Around three decades later, they were physically in their early 30s when Garmadon was banished.[11] Only a mere decade later, by the time of the events of the series, Wu had become an old man, having aged tremendously in a relatively short period of time due to unknown circumstances.

For possible explanations on Wu and Garmadon's seemingly rapid aging, see the Trivia section.
