    Nidhiki was always fascinating to me. A truly tragic character who was fed up of the Toa-Dark Hunter War but with that comes a life reminder that the grass isn't always greener elsewhere.

    Out of all the Villians in Bionicle I do consider both Toa Nidhiki and Makuta Krika the most Tragic

    My favorite Toa of Air finally gets the spotlight!
    His story is really tragic! The poor guy didn’t deserve to die the way he did. Both him and Krekka never saw it coming to be absorbed by Teridax at all!
    My iteration of the character was reverted back into a Toa and currently strives hard to redeem himself as a hero!

      He willingly betrayed his brothers. He willingly tried to kill/capture the new Toa Metru.
      He may have felt bad AFTER the deeds were done. He may have felt regret once he was turned into a giant insect thing. He may have even felt remorse as he was desperately trying to flee the all consuming might of Makuta's Shadow Hand. But he knew what he was doing the whole time and did it anyway.
      Fascinating character. Fun one too. Needed more development in terms of being the first fallen Toa that we were told about. But he got what he deserved.

      ​@dn22pkkdd476 Easier to agree with if the likes of Roodaka, whom is universally used, even by her own species, as a slur for traitors, more or less got away with it. A SHOCKING number of Barraki also got to go along their merry way. Did he deserve it? No more than several characters that somehow avoided this fate.

    Even when focusing on my best boi Nidhiki we can't escape the thousand different pronunciations of Onewa
    My go-to is usually oh-Nee-wa. Idk why

    • @GrizbyK72
      @GrizbyK72 Рік тому +2

      Onewa is my favourite Toa period. I usually go by the movie pronunciation AW-neh-WAH. It rolls off the tongue quicker and the emphasis separates it more from the similarly named Onua (oh-NU-ah).

    Ok, question. So I'm not caught up on every bit of Bionicle lore, so I'm sorry if I sound stupid. But who is the giant Toa at 5:30? Is that a canon Toa?

      He is a canon Toa. He is Toa Bomonga and he wears a Mask of Growth that allows him to grow in size.
