i was reviewing seabound and i believe nya would be happier if she continued as the ocean
In Skybound, Nya and Jay talk about how sad she feels about not having the right to make her own decisions or choose what she wants to be
i know that becoming one with the sea was the last resort she used to save everyone
but i don't think i've ever seen her so at peace with herself
she was always reluctant to be the ninja of the water, but after becoming one with the sea (as shown in the second episode of Crystalized) I think Nya was finally able to find herself. She no longer had doubts whether she should be a ninja or a samurai, during that one year that she disappeared, she managed to find out who she was
