Okay, Matoro's death should've been #1 imo. Mata Nui dying was monumental, but you never got attached to Mata Nui. He was just kinda there, with every hero in the world bent on cranking the volume on his alarm clock. I almost cried when Matoro died, because you felt like he was right there with you. You got to know him over the years. Seeing him die really hurt, honestly.
Bionicle was originally intended for kids but grew with intensity along with the age of the audience. On some boxes it is recommended for 16 year olds as a maximum. That is by no means a child.
Hub Hikari Matoro was the best for sure. I was young when I read the comic where he died and it had a lasting impression on me that I treasure to this day. Self-sacrifice is something not enough people understand, and Matoro helped to teach me that!
Veins It was the first death in anything that I took seriously, and that's mostly because not only was Matoro my favorite Toa in the series (he still is), but he went out like a hero. He sacrificed himself so that everyone could live. That is how heroes go out. :)
adoboawesome Toa Ignika was AWESOME! I remember him being one of my favorite sets. I still have his silver Konohi Ignika, but he's in peices now. I doubt that I'll be able to put himmback together...
XLpug "Mata Nui fulfills his destiny by making Bara Magna into Spherus Magna once again. Mata Nui then returned to the Ignika, which he used to say farewell to the assembled villagers then departed."
During one of the books featuring the Piraka (forgot the exact name of the book), Avak has a flashback of Zaktan murdering a Toa of Psionics, he remembers seeing Zaktan dragging the Toa away, then when Avak goes to check on the situation, he sees nothing left except a mask with a bite taken out of it, and a strange liquid he didn't want to identify. Pretty dark for a kid's toy. I use this death as my primary excuse when people say Bionicle is childish and dumb.
I was kinda hoping Krika would get a special mention. what with Gorast overloading his mask and causing him to fade out of existence and all. It just seems like a terrifying concept to just slowly stop existing altogether. Not to mention Gorast's "Terridax mania" lends the scene a level of drama.
JoeDat RedSpike We don't know if LoSS is dead, he just feel off a cliff. Reidak fell off an 800-foot cliff in the original story and was fine. I bet than in the summer wave the toa/ekimu are going to beat Skull Grinder and reach for the Mask of Creation and LoSS is going to pop up behind it and go "SUPRISE!!!" You never know with BIONICLE...you never know...
Jacob Hanshew Ehhhhh...I'd bet more on him being dead than not being. After all, there was no dialogue or anything to indicate he HADN'T kicked the bucket.
Think what you will, I've gotten used to BIONICLE and Ninjago putting characters in situations were they should have died and NOT saying weather or not they did and then having them come back in the future. Remember Pythor, Keetongu, Ahkmou (well we didn't know that one was Ahkmou until it was revealed he didn't die), the Overlord, and Miserix. Also I believe Vezon at one point but don't quote me.
Well Matoro is one of my favorite Toa from the toa Ignika/Mahri years of Bionicle. And I can relate a lot to Matroro's and Zane's Death because Bionicle and Ninjago have a lot of similarities. But Matroro's death was my favorite Bionicle death in the G1 Bionicle universe because it proves that it takes to be a toa. :)
The first one I ever experienced was the death of Makuta at the end of Glatorian. It was the series that put me through my Bionicle phase, and I still own the whole Glatorian series.
HarryBillyBobGeorge in 'The Powers That Be' serial. From bionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Tren_Krom_(Being): "Some time after Spherus Magna's reformation, Kopaka and Pohatu both heard a mental scream and saw images telepathically from Tren Krom. Another being nearby, named Gaardus, also recieved these images. The Toa then found him splattered all over the ground, dead. The only evidence they have for his condition is the image of a red star planted in their minds by Tren Krom himself before he died. This was because of the connection between the star, and hismurderer." With the word 'murderer' linking to the page about Velika.
SpiritOfWaterMontaru If the story still continued for Bionicle, i think Velika would be the start of the war between the Toa and Great Beings. Sadly that giant ship full of great story and characters sank to a iceberg named "Reboot". Hopefully the new Bionicle series will get better as it goes along.
My number one bionicle death was bionicle it self because its dead and is know an empty shell of a series, I mean ok the sets are good but they have to get better at telling ther story because if not bionicle going to die twice
Exactly. That's what makes him so awesome. I was all ready to have the new storyline location introduced to me, and the book opens by introducing us to the first character with a name. And then he dies. And again we know no one in Mahri Nui. Most importantly, though, as far as Onu Matoran go, REYSA: STILL A MORE LIKABLE CHARACTER THAN ONEPU. "Oh and Taipu's here too" my butt.
This was actually really interesting. I liked hearing about the bionicle lore and other less-know beings like ancient and the other dark hunters. Keep up the good work Var.
Man Toa Mahri Matoro was my first bionicle back in the day and from then on I loved Bionicle and kept getting the sets until the Glatorians but Toa Mahri was always my favorite. I just found out yesterday that Matoro died and I'm 16 now I spent 10 years not knowing Matoro died I can't believe it.
10- death by portal 9- death by eye zap 8- death by yellow orange lad 7- death by hand 6- death by bad weather 5- death by hand again 4- death by spoopyness 3- death by moon 2- death by mask 1- death by sleepiness
It's cool how, as a kid, you can change the fates of your favorite characters.I mean I'm a bit proud about Krika that he showed empathy, I always liked that character at first for how it looks like and then his backstory.
Matoro and actually all the Toas, Turagas and Matorans from Kopaka or Kokoro are my favs, they are so noble, visionary and philosophical yet still very humble, that's how a civilized society should be.
reading the bionicle novels as a kid, matoro's death was easily the most impactful to me. still makes me tear up sometimes 😢 what he did is what made him my favorite character in the series to this day
7:50 "exemplifies what it takes to be a Toa." Would have been the best moment to reference the song "What it takes to be a hero," that being a pretty well known song during bio-tube's BMV (Bionicle Music Video) phase.
R.I.P LOSS... Seriously, he should be #1... Poor fella... (That is, assuming he really is dead and gone - based on your interview with Mr. Mann, I have a feeling that might not be the case)
Aw... I remember when I first read in the comics, Matoro's final act... This maybe makes me look like a big wimp, but I legitimately cried. Legit tear stains are on that page. He was the coolest, being Nuju's right hand matoran, his first meet with Kopaka, everything in 2006... Ahhh... Anyhow, #RememberMatoro.
People are still complaining about this? The new "Hero Factory build" was made to standardise future action figured size sets which is why even Chima and Super Hero sets use them. Also they were designed by the makers of Bionicle so if it wasn't cancelled in 2010 we would have started using those parts anyway.
Also the Hero Factory pieces are much sturdier and stronger than the later pieces of Bionicle G1. There are plenty of MOCs built with both old Bionicle and new Hero Factory pieces, some of which are only possible because of the Hero Factory pieces. One would think it's at least a structural upgrade.
Great video, though I still have no idea how Lhikan actually dies. He steps in front of Vakama, he gives Makuta his shield, it clashes with Makuta's body, the mask of time flies off of Vakama's face, and all of a sudden, Lhikan is laying there fatally injured… WHAT?!
Trisket I've heard it was either the impact of Makuta's shadow hand thing, or the Mask of Time's power took it's toll on Lhikan when he jumped in. Or a combination of both, or some other third thing :P
+ZygfrydJelenieRogi " I believe in white supremacy until blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.... The academic community has developed certain tests that determine whether the blacks are sufficiently equipped scholastically.... I don't feel guilty about the fact that five or ten generations ago these people were slaves. Now I'm not condoning slavery. It's just a fact of life, like the kid who gets infantile paralysis and can't play football like the rest of us." -John Wayne
+ZygfrydJelenieRogi in my opinion I think that Matoro's death was worthless and shouldn't be on this list. Furthermore, +Julian Weiner , I thought your comment was moving and well placed. In conclusion, I would like to add that Jucma'd Ala had the most honorable bionacle's death and therefore should be #1 on this list.
+Austin Markiewicz I totally agree with your point of view. In these types of debates, you need an open mind to understand the concept of the cosmics. DMT holds all of the minds secrets. It helps us explore the world through our conscience. We leave our physical body to explore the world and expand our mind. This isn't astral projection nor it is a hallucination. Our higher self tries and speak with us through these experiences. One needs to understand that we are all of the same consciousness because we are all made of the same universal elements and we are just figments of the consciousness expressing itself through a physical realm. In the end, we are just a light being and vibrating molecules. Our vibrational waves don't match any of the others so that's what seperates us from other dimensions. Through DMT we can talk to these spirits because DMT brings our souls vibrational waves to the same as other universes and dimensions so then we can communicate with other worldly beings. This physical realm we live in is just an illusion and a test to see if we can be enlightened depending on how our mind can consider things and how we are not ignorant. DMT is natural in the body so we all can experience the world and strengthen our consciousness to the point we become so enlightened, we become our own gods. We are all the same.
Small note here: Teridax wasn't the last one to die in Bionicle G1. Both Karzahni and Tren Krom died after the reunification of Spherus Magna. Helryx, Miserix, a different Tuyet, Vezon, Artakha, and an unnamed Great Being were all in a building that was about to explode when the story stopped being updated.
Interesting video, ever tought about making a character spotlight series? Where you can talk about one individual of the bionicle universe, his story, where he lived, his adventures etc. Would be awesome to watch!
I loved this video! It was a great analysis of some very important characters in the BIONICLE story. I hope you make more videos like this, discussing and analyzing story elements of Generation 1! :)
The bohrok-kal deserve honourable mentions. Their powers being their downfall, and in the coolest way! Lehvak-kal was launched into space Nuhvok-kal was crushed into a singularity Gahlok-kal melted through the planets crust Panrok-kal was crushed by four exo-toa Tahnok kal had its parts fused together Kahlok-kal was torn apart by its sound Space, black hole, core of the planet, crushed, petrified, and obliterated And this was only the first wave of villains
cool video, Tuyet looks good ;). I haven't really gotten much into anything past 2004 but i always thought the lhikan death in the second movie is pretty strong
Nice list, though I would've made Lhikan's death #1 and removed any references to the anti-climatic deaths in the serials. You should keep making top 10 videos like this, they're very enjoyable!
I've always wanted to see like a TTV special on the top Ten Bionicle Books where you guys (except Kahi) spend like 3 hours debating which bionicle books are the best. Either that or do 10th anniversary specials for all the books in the legends series.
Fuck, i miss bionicle. So much nostalgia. I was a good kid, an innocent kid. I remember lining up all my bionicles for a great war in my imagination. Then something happened, i stared down at them and i just wasn't feeling it anymore. Something pure died inside of me that day. I put them in a box and in time they slowly disappeared. Now i'm a broke alcoholic with a shit load of problems. Stay pure kids don't grow up so fast. Let your youth sink in as much as possible. God bless you all.
I would've switched the last two personally, because while Mata Nui's death was important, it was a character we knew very little about. We knew all the lore surrounding him, yes, but there was no attachment, whereas Matoro had been with us for 7 years prior to his death. The thing that really tips the scale for me is the effect of their deaths, though. Mata Nui's was a crushing defeat, but I feel the bittersweet hope that Matoro's death came with puts it a set above.
I loved the way Lhikan's death was handled. It's an example of the wise guide having to die or leave his followers behind before they can reach their full potential - kind of like Jesus, if you believe in the bible. The way that he gives his mask to Vakama represents passing on his fighting spirit to the next generation of heroes.
Thomas G You don't have to believe in Jesus to appreciate the story of his death. Even thinking about it as something purely fictional it is a really great story.
jeez, i feel left, out, not knowing even half of these characters, XD i'd probably take some time to find and read these books if it wasn't for my reading disability (i can read individual words and sentences, it's just i cant read page after page of a story without either losing track, or forgetting what i just read... well maybe that's just ADD, but none the less, if i were to read a whole book, i probably wouldn't remember a single detail about it)
I didn't think twice about this list when it first came out but looking back I'ld have to add one: The Bohrok-Kal. Sure they weren't "alive" and considering were Bohrok come from are techicaly already dead, but I still found it very impactful considering it was the fist thing we got close to a death (sure there was the first fight with teridax were he disappeared, the Ta-Matoran who were at the Tren Krom Break and some Bohrok/Rahi, but these were the first named characters) Their deaths weren't very impactful to the story, but they helped display that sorta scy-ci (I don't think I spelled that right, "brain-process" would work but sounds stupid) thing BIONICLE goes for by showing that greed can only lead to bad things and as far as deaths go, they were some of the most described and illustrated (I'm pretty sure some of the 2008 Makuta weren't actualy shown dieing it just said they did thanks to the storm; Antroz, Chirox, and Vampra I beilive) I just really felt for the Kal, and their deaths made "Makuta's Revenge" and the 2003 comics some of the most re-read books for me other than maybe "Legacy of Evil" (face it, who doesn't like seeing someone turned into a black-hole)
one of the honorable deaths I had in mind was Takuta Nuva**Makuta and Taka Nuva merged**, Takuta Nuva sacrificing some of his power to revive Jaller, it was an honorable deed, yet, he still died after his heroic deed
10: Dark Mirror was fun. Very. 9: Poor Guy. Never stood a chance. 8: I can fondly recall seeing this movie and hoping he got killed off. Was not disappointed. 7: Good riddance. Those two were a waste of space, but they had some good moments. 6: While watching this, I realized that Makuta Gorast was the only female Makuta to ever be mentioned. Huh. That aside, That was a cheap way to tie up loose ends. 5: I liked him. I wish we had more stories following him. 4: Jaller is one of my favorite characters and while he was only dead for a brief time, I guess it can be counted considering how much death ACTUALLY happens. 3: It was technically the Bota Magna piece, but close enough. The death seemed kind of simple, but it could've been far more disappointing. 2: MVP of the Inika/Mahri team. Literally. 1: I thought you were meaning his death at the end of Gen 1, but this is fairly intense too... even if it's only temporary. Honestly, my list would have the same cast, though I would put Matoro above Mata Nui since he fixed the problem and made the story go on.
I always found Carapar's death by Tren Krom to be very disturbing. One moment sneaking a move to kill Krom, the next a third eye appears on the gelatinous mass and fires a disintegration beam, shattering him to pieces. Shocked me reading that.
Toa: the other makutas will decide your fate. Terridax: I am the makuta. Other Makuta: Not your not Terridax :it is treason time then, the time is there initiate order Karda Nui.
I would have put Tuyet much higher on the list, that was such an awesome death for a villain. Sure it was graphic, but it was such a good way to kill her off and was probably one of the best scenes that I've read in all the Bionicle literature.
I wouldn't put Mata Nui on the list at all, since his death is what makes Matoro's so good to begin with. They've failed, there's only one hope to bring him back, and Matoro does it anyways. I might put the Toa Ignika somewhere on this list instead, because he (she? it?) sacrifices itself to become more like the person who inspired him to become a toa in the first place. It's a full cycle of duty and destiny, but the reason I personally like it is because there's really no unity involved. It shows that, in both of these deaths, if you want to save the world, you might not have anybody there to back you up. You have to do it by yourself, and show the courage of six (or more) heroes. That's symbolic, man.
I personally think that Matoro should have been number 1 when everything was at stake he saved everything his death is bigger than Mata Nui's because his death BROUGHT BACK Mata Nui
4:53 If I was Krika, I would’ve just bailed as soon as I found out what was about to go down. Sure, my entire species (save for Teridax) would’ve been wiped out, but at least I’d still be alive. Then again, Teridax would probably find out I’m alive, and just kill me himself.
0:01 whats that from? I always remembered a scene from a bionicle movie where a guy gets crushed, a little dude picks up and puts on a mask to turn into a big guy while standing next to a blue dude.
Krika didn't die in the explosion, Krika's mask power was influenced by his partner's which split his molecules all over space. Krika's not dead, he's just everywhere
Okay, Matoro's death should've been #1 imo. Mata Nui dying was monumental, but you never got attached to Mata Nui. He was just kinda there, with every hero in the world bent on cranking the volume on his alarm clock. I almost cried when Matoro died, because you felt like he was right there with you. You got to know him over the years. Seeing him die really hurt, honestly.
a great sacrifice
Bionicle was originally intended for kids but grew with intensity along with the age of the audience. On some boxes it is recommended for 16 year olds as a maximum. That is by no means a child.
brian smith You're absolutely right, which is why these deaths are on the list. Because they helped exemplify that.
***** I liked the Glatorian. :(
We will never forget Matoro. Ever.
😭😭
matoro.....why!
Wait who?
Jk lol
ratlover523 Matoro will Be Gabe the dog's new owner
I agree his sacrifice will not be forgotten because he his a hero!
Matoro's death... never forget. :')
#NeverForgetMatoro
Matoro was my favorite character :/
Hub Hikari Matoro was the best for sure. I was young when I read the comic where he died and it had a lasting impression on me that I treasure to this day. Self-sacrifice is something not enough people understand, and Matoro helped to teach me that!

Not to mention he was the first matoran in the comics to be introduced. :,(
Though it didn't technically die, I feel that Ignika's end as an honorary toa was quite very sad and worthy of note.
Ignika was one of my favorite sets
adoboawesome Toa Ignika was AWESOME! I remember him being one of my favorite sets. I still have his silver Konohi Ignika, but he's in peices now. I doubt that I'll be able to put himmback together...
Yeah! Ignika was awesome, I was sad he had to die.
number 1 should be when
....bionicle story died.
Damn
Joe Teller lol
So true so true... :'( R.I.P
number one: the remake of 2014.
Matoro needs to be #1. He died and stayed dead unlike Mata Nui.
HQBacon Not dead forever if magic red star stuff happens!
*rubs hands menacingly*
Didn't Mata Nui die when his spirit left the mask of life at the end of the series?
XLpug "Mata Nui fulfills his destiny by making Bara Magna into Spherus Magna once again. Mata Nui then returned to the Ignika, which he used to say farewell to the assembled villagers then departed."
That's what I thought as well, my previous comment is directly copied from bionicle.wikia.com/wiki/BIONICLE_Timeline.

Theshortcircuit so, zaktan are a toa.
How violent.

Oops. It wasn't Krika's mask, it was one of his Kraata powers.
i agree except for #1, as mata nui was brouth back to life causing matoros death, i would just change thode 2 places
My point exactly!
I'll add Jaller to this "not worthy death" , he is just resurected 5 minutes after his death, you don't even have enough time to cry on him
You forgot lord of skull spiders. Those were some feels, man.
In all seriousness though, this was a good list.
JoeDat RedSpike We don't know if LoSS is dead, he just feel off a cliff. Reidak fell off an 800-foot cliff in the original story and was fine. I bet than in the summer wave the toa/ekimu are going to beat Skull Grinder and reach for the Mask of Creation and LoSS is going to pop up behind it and go "SUPRISE!!!" You never know with BIONICLE...you never know...

Yes that was a great loss. :(
Well Matoro is one of my favorite Toa from the toa Ignika/Mahri years of Bionicle. And I can relate a lot to Matroro's and Zane's Death because Bionicle and Ninjago have a lot of similarities.
But Matroro's death was my favorite Bionicle death in the G1 Bionicle universe because it proves that it takes to be a toa. :)
Don't forget that both controlled the element of ice!
brian55235 yup. :)
The first one I ever experienced was the death of Makuta at the end of Glatorian. It was the series that put me through my Bionicle phase, and I still own the whole Glatorian series.
I used to have a account named after Matoro,still Matoro is my fav toa
TheBrickRookie Why does Lego always have to kill the ice guy!?
Finally, I have something to show friends that say Bionicle is for kids.
Except, where the hell is Tren Krom?
Christian Crowley He did, Velika killed him
AkuAkuAkuma Was it Velika? I was under the impression it actually was Lesovikk. Where did Greg say that?
HarryBillyBobGeorge in 'The Powers That Be' serial. From bionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Tren_Krom_(Being): "Some time after Spherus Magna's reformation, Kopaka and Pohatu both heard a mental scream and saw images telepathically from Tren Krom.

Andrew Mabon The Bionicle Wiki is rarely more accurate than BS01.
SpiritOfWaterMontaru If the story still continued for Bionicle, i think Velika would be the start of the war between the Toa and Great Beings. Sadly that giant ship full of great story and characters sank to a iceberg named "Reboot". Hopefully the new Bionicle series will get better as it goes along.
RIP Matoro 😢
Toa Matoro, 2001-2007
My number one bionicle death was bionicle it self because its dead and is know an empty shell of a series, I mean ok the sets are good but they have to get better at telling ther story because if not bionicle going to die twice
and it died again recently :'(
Reysa's death was the best. He literally introduced us to the grim world of 2007.
Lol, literally didn't know who that was until I googled.
Wasn't he the Onu-Matoran eaten by a giant squid in BIONICLE Legends in the first book of the 2007 storyline?
Exactly. That's what makes him so awesome. I was all ready to have the new storyline location introduced to me, and the book opens by introducing us to the first character with a name. And then he dies. And again we know no one in Mahri Nui. Most importantly, though, as far as Onu Matoran go, REYSA: STILL A MORE LIKABLE CHARACTER THAN ONEPU. "Oh and Taipu's here too" my butt.
Var's original videos (not updates on lego) are like busses, they never come, but when they do, two arrive at once
This was actually really interesting. I liked hearing about the bionicle lore and other less-know beings like ancient and the other dark hunters.
Keep up the good work Var.
2:23 the way he says rudaka is pitifully hilarious
THESE TOP 10 VIDEOS ARE AMAZING PLEASE MAKE MORE thethreevirtues
I agree
Dis gun be gud.
NickonAquaMagna Ur Rite.
I argee
Man Toa Mahri Matoro was my first bionicle back in the day and from then on I loved Bionicle and kept getting the sets until the Glatorians but Toa Mahri was always my favorite. I just found out yesterday that Matoro died and I'm 16 now I spent 10 years not knowing Matoro died I can't believe it.
anyone got a watchmojo vibe from this video?
Watch mojo is inaccurate.
And TTV spreads misinformation. Lovely.
Casual sarcasm. But really, why does everyone seem to hate top 10s or Mojo?
TheExurian watch mojo is entirely opinionated and everyone is just so bitter when their favorite didn't make the cut or was ranked lower in the list
So really, people get annoyed when an opinion isn't theirs?
toaorangebiobeast13 Yep. I liked watching a video about something I actually cared about, however, unlike whatever WM does.
You're Bionicle Top 10's are freaking awesome! So hard to find other people that know anything about the lore that wasn't shown in film.
The best part of Sidorak's death is that you can hear Keetongu laughing.
Lone Golurk I thought it was a battle cry
10- death by portal
9- death by eye zap
8- death by yellow orange lad
7- death by hand
6- death by bad weather
5- death by hand again
4- death by spoopyness
3- death by moon
2- death by mask
1- death by sleepiness
It's cool how, as a kid, you can change the fates of your favorite characters.I mean I'm a bit proud about Krika that he showed empathy, I always liked that character at first for how it looks like and then his backstory.
Matoro and actually all the Toas, Turagas and Matorans from Kopaka or Kokoro are my favs, they are so noble, visionary and philosophical yet still very humble, that's how a civilized society should be.

(That is, assuming he really is dead and gone - based on your interview with Mr. Mann, I have a feeling that might not be the case)

The BIONICLE movies are cheesy in general.
Wears mask of life
Dies anyways
Aw... I remember when I first read in the comics, Matoro's final act... This maybe makes me look like a big wimp, but I legitimately cried. Legit tear stains are on that page.
He was the coolest, being Nuju's right hand matoran, his first meet with Kopaka, everything in 2006... Ahhh...
Anyhow, #RememberMatoro.
When I heard that Jaller was on this list I was about to cry but then you showed that footage from mask of light I realized that he was resurrected
Number One should have been the death of G1.
All Bionicle is now is Hero Factory pieces.
ClassicShadowBox Hero Factory pieces that have produced sets far superior to a good majority of the original sets.
People are still complaining about this? The new "Hero Factory build" was made to standardise future action figured size sets which is why even Chima and Super Hero sets use them. Also they were designed by the makers of Bionicle so if it wasn't cancelled in 2010 we would have started using those parts anyway.

Great video, though I still have no idea how Lhikan actually dies. He steps in front of Vakama, he gives Makuta his shield, it clashes with Makuta's body, the mask of time flies off of Vakama's face, and all of a sudden, Lhikan is laying there fatally injured… WHAT?!
Trisket I've heard it was either the impact of Makuta's shadow hand thing, or the Mask of Time's power took it's toll on Lhikan when he jumped in. Or a combination of both, or some other third thing :P
I did notice something resembling a heartstone on Lhikan's board...maybe they're connected somehow?
Lhikan as a Turaga was physically weak. Even with the shield the blast coming from Makuta would still be enough to kill him.
How dare you to put Matoro's death on the second place? If he didn't sacrifice himself, Mata Nui would stay dead.

+Julian Weiner Are you a bot? Did you answer the wrong comment?
yes
+ZygfrydJelenieRogi in my opinion I think that Matoro's death was worthless and shouldn't be on this list. Furthermore, +Julian Weiner , I thought your comment was moving and well placed. In conclusion, I would like to add that Jucma'd Ala had the most honorable bionacle's death and therefore should be #1 on this list.
+Austin Markiewicz I totally agree with your point of view. In these types of debates, you need an open mind to understand the concept of the cosmics. DMT holds all of the minds secrets. It helps us explore the world through our conscience. We leave our physical body to explore the world and expand our mind. This isn't astral projection nor it is a hallucination. Our higher self tries and speak with us through these experiences. One needs to understand that we are all of the same consciousness because we are all made of the same universal elements and we are just figments of the consciousness expressing itself through a physical realm. In the end, we are just a light being and vibrating molecules. Our vibrational waves don't match any of the others so that's what seperates us from other dimensions. Through DMT we can talk to these spirits because DMT brings our souls vibrational waves to the same as other universes and dimensions so then we can communicate with other worldly beings. This physical realm we live in is just an illusion and a test to see if we can be enlightened depending on how our mind can consider things and how we are not ignorant. DMT is natural in the body so we all can experience the world and strengthen our consciousness to the point we become so enlightened, we become our own gods. We are all the same.
Small note here: Teridax wasn't the last one to die in Bionicle G1. Both Karzahni and Tren Krom died after the reunification of Spherus Magna. Helryx, Miserix, a different Tuyet, Vezon, Artakha, and an unnamed Great Being were all in a building that was about to explode when the story stopped being updated.
Interesting video, ever tought about making a character spotlight series? Where you can talk about one individual of the bionicle universe, his story, where he lived, his adventures etc. Would be awesome to watch!
What about the badass Toa Ignika?
Remember Matoro!
Jonathan Tefft and remember him forever...whatever is gonna happen.
Why isn't Matoro No1?
I loved this video! It was a great analysis of some very important characters in the BIONICLE story. I hope you make more videos like this, discussing and analyzing story elements of Generation 1! :)
The bohrok-kal deserve honourable mentions. Their powers being their downfall, and in the coolest way!
Lehvak-kal was launched into space
Nuhvok-kal was crushed into a singularity
Gahlok-kal melted through the planets crust
Panrok-kal was crushed by four exo-toa
Tahnok kal had its parts fused together
Kahlok-kal was torn apart by its sound
Space, black hole, core of the planet, crushed, petrified, and obliterated
And this was only the first wave of villains
Pretty good top ten. But I have to say, I never realized how many violent deaths were in Bionicle until now.
cool video, Tuyet looks good ;). I haven't really gotten much into anything past 2004 but i always thought the lhikan death in the second movie is pretty strong
Nice list, though I would've made Lhikan's death #1 and removed any references to the anti-climatic deaths in the serials. You should keep making top 10 videos like this, they're very enjoyable!
I've always wanted to see like a TTV special on the top Ten Bionicle Books where you guys (except Kahi) spend like 3 hours debating which bionicle books are the best. Either that or do 10th anniversary specials for all the books in the legends series.
What you get when you cross BIONICLE Autopsy with WatchMojo. Brilliant! I hope you make more of these!
I love nerding out about Bionicle
I actually really liked this video, maybe next time, every member could do a personal top 10 favourite sets?
Fuck, i miss bionicle. So much nostalgia.
I was a good kid, an innocent kid. I remember lining up all my bionicles for a great war in my imagination.
Then something happened, i stared down at them and i just wasn't feeling it anymore. Something pure died inside of me that day. I put them in a box and in time they slowly disappeared.
Now i'm a broke alcoholic with a shit load of problems.
Stay pure kids don't grow up so fast. Let your youth sink in as much as possible. God bless you all.
I would've switched the last two personally, because while Mata Nui's death was important, it was a character we knew very little about. We knew all the lore surrounding him, yes, but there was no attachment, whereas Matoro had been with us for 7 years prior to his death. The thing that really tips the scale for me is the effect of their deaths, though. Mata Nui's was a crushing defeat, but I feel the bittersweet hope that Matoro's death came with puts it a set above.
I loved the way Lhikan's death was handled. It's an example of the wise guide having to die or leave his followers behind before they can reach their full potential - kind of like Jesus, if you believe in the bible.
The way that he gives his mask to Vakama represents passing on his fighting spirit to the next generation of heroes.
Thomas G You don't have to believe in Jesus to appreciate the story of his death. Even thinking about it as something purely fictional it is a really great story.
***** True. I'm just being extra-careful not to incite a UA-cam Religion Argument.
jeez, i feel left, out, not knowing even half of these characters, XD i'd probably take some time to find and read these books if it wasn't for my reading disability
(i can read individual words and sentences, it's just i cant read page after page of a story without either losing track, or forgetting what i just read... well maybe that's just ADD, but none the less, if i were to read a whole book, i probably wouldn't remember a single detail about it)
Are there audio tapes for the Bionicle books? Maybe have someone read them to you?
Man, I used to... naw, still do, love Bionicle. Great stories
easterislehead me too
1:38 WAFFLE STATUS!
TheKowHunter Guess who made waffles?!
What about the Black Bohrok Kal whose power over gravity caved in on himself until his body was crushed into a miniaturized black hole?
I didn't think twice about this list when it first came out but looking back I'ld have to add one: The Bohrok-Kal. Sure they weren't "alive" and considering were Bohrok come from are techicaly already dead, but I still found it very impactful considering it was the fist thing we got close to a death (sure there was the first fight with teridax were he disappeared, the Ta-Matoran who were at the Tren Krom Break and some Bohrok/Rahi, but these were the first named characters) Their deaths weren't very impactful to the story, but they helped display that sorta scy-ci (I don't think I spelled that right, "brain-process" would work but sounds stupid) thing BIONICLE goes for by showing that greed can only lead to bad things and as far as deaths go, they were some of the most described and illustrated (I'm pretty sure some of the 2008 Makuta weren't actualy shown dieing it just said they did thanks to the storm; Antroz, Chirox, and Vampra I beilive)
I just really felt for the Kal, and their deaths made "Makuta's Revenge" and the 2003 comics some of the most re-read books for me other than maybe "Legacy of Evil" (face it, who doesn't like seeing someone turned into a black-hole)
Matro is the only death is comics and media that I acutlly felt bad for. I can't wait to see who dies in g2
Toa of Darkness (cough) LOSS
Toa Bodriik I know you from Instagram and he is not dead
Toa Bodriik Forever a LoSS
Brendan Bathan but he is still alive.
still a LoSS
one of the honorable deaths I had in mind was Takuta Nuva**Makuta and Taka Nuva merged**, Takuta Nuva sacrificing some of his power to revive Jaller, it was an honorable deed, yet, he still died after his heroic deed
I got to go with Matoro being #1. Also somewhere there I would have put Carapar. Being disintegrated like it was nothing by Tren Krom.
oh this is going to be a great new show.
good work ttv good work
RIP Matoro. You were one of the first Matoran to appear in the series. I have your Matoran mask sitting beside me right now.
Conner Confidential unfortunately, I didn’t have Matoro, so, l want to find him(the Matoran version) this year.
I liked this, you should do a top 10 most powerful characters vid
This video was edited perfectly.
I loved Matoro and Jaller as charachters.
Nice editing on this one guys!
10: Dark Mirror was fun. Very.
9: Poor Guy. Never stood a chance.
8: I can fondly recall seeing this movie and hoping he got killed off. Was not disappointed.
7: Good riddance. Those two were a waste of space, but they had some good moments.
6: While watching this, I realized that Makuta Gorast was the only female Makuta to ever be mentioned. Huh. That aside, That was a cheap way to tie up loose ends.
5: I liked him. I wish we had more stories following him.
4: Jaller is one of my favorite characters and while he was only dead for a brief time, I guess it can be counted considering how much death ACTUALLY happens.
3: It was technically the Bota Magna piece, but close enough. The death seemed kind of simple, but it could've been far more disappointing.
2: MVP of the Inika/Mahri team. Literally.
1: I thought you were meaning his death at the end of Gen 1, but this is fairly intense too... even if it's only temporary.
Honestly, my list would have the same cast, though I would put Matoro above Mata Nui since he fixed the problem and made the story go on.
I get that people aren't satisfied with the way Bionicle G1 ended, but killing Teridax with a literal falling planet was amazing.
I thought Sidorak's death was not only satisfying, but it personified Roodaka's evil.
I always found Carapar's death by Tren Krom to be very disturbing. One moment sneaking a move to kill Krom, the next a third eye appears on the gelatinous mass and fires a disintegration beam, shattering him to pieces. Shocked me reading that.
You know, Keetongu looked a lot bigger than Sidorak in the movie during Sidorak's death scene compared to the toys where Sidorak is taller.
I don't own a lot of Bionicles but I'm sure glad I picked up the weird-looking Mahri Matoro, based on story alone
The beginning made me think of a watchmojo video
Amazing video! I would put Matoro's death at number 1,and Mata-Nui's at number 2
Toa: the other makutas will decide your fate.
Terridax: I am the makuta.
Other Makuta: Not your not
Terridax :it is treason time then, the time is there initiate order Karda Nui.
Bane stole Matoro's catchphrase: "No one cared who I was until i put on the mask
Sylvia Moonbeam Toa Matoro, 2001-2007
Ps: Bye,bro
Great list. But I'd like to add maybe Carapar and Miserix. Also Turaga Jovans death for being so unfortunate and unheroic :(
I would have put Tuyet much higher on the list, that was such an awesome death for a villain.
Sure it was graphic, but it was such a good way to kill her off and was probably one of the best scenes that I've read in all the Bionicle literature.
More top tens!! Please.
I wouldn't put Mata Nui on the list at all, since his death is what makes Matoro's so good to begin with. They've failed, there's only one hope to bring him back, and Matoro does it anyways.
I might put the Toa Ignika somewhere on this list instead, because he (she? it?) sacrifices itself to become more like the person who inspired him to become a toa in the first place.
It's a full cycle of duty and destiny, but the reason I personally like it is because there's really no unity involved. It shows that, in both of these deaths, if you want to save the world, you might not have anybody there to back you up. You have to do it by yourself, and show the courage of six (or more) heroes. That's symbolic, man.
I personally think that Matoro should have been number 1
when everything was at stake he saved everything
his death is bigger than Mata Nui's because his death BROUGHT BACK Mata Nui
Sidorak actually deceived Teridax into becoming king.
He was never self proclaimed :). Should have put Toa Ignika's death, he lived so shortly.
thank you motoro. without your sacrifice the whole story line would have sucked from that point. plus everyone would be dead. so thanks
4:53
If I was Krika, I would’ve just bailed as soon as I found out what was about to go down.
Sure, my entire species (save for Teridax) would’ve been wiped out, but at least I’d still be alive.
Then again, Teridax would probably find out I’m alive, and just kill me himself.
I cried when I read the comic Mata Nui Died in... I just couldn't believe it...
Makuta's Shadow Hand doesn't look that intimidating.
It might kill you by punching you in the face.
But not by smacking you with a palm.
Can you imagine remaking these with modern cgi???
"In his last moments Matoro feels no fear."
if there was a bonus, Roodaka should be added.
if someone thinks Roodaka didn't die, you're wrong, because she was blasted by Vakama.
0:01 whats that from? I always remembered a scene from a bionicle movie where a guy gets crushed, a little dude picks up and puts on a mask to turn into a big guy while standing next to a blue dude.
Can you guys make a video about Tren Krom?
Krika didn't die in the explosion, Krika's mask power was influenced by his partner's which split his molecules all over space. Krika's not dead, he's just everywhere
When I younger I used to always watch bionicles
Bionicle was my favorite for always taking dark turns
R.I.P Matoro ```
