I’m a Sanok-Ordeist, but I think it’s quite possible if he’s wearing a Huna.
Huna is a very practical and uncomplicated mask. “The effect is not complicated” is a very important point, and I think this is one of the attractions enough for Toa, who often encounters situations where one mistake can lead to death.
And the effect is very useful.
If he pays attention to the shadow residue, I think it matches Orde.
(I’ve heard that Toa usually has a tradition of teaming up and rarely acts alone. But when the TYQ team was formed, Despite at least he had been on the team once, Despite being “freelance”.
I interpret this as a way to avoid unnecessary interaction with others, which stems from his inner, conflicting, non-sociable attitude as a hero. And I felt that Huna fits both in terms of practicality and this aspect.)
P.S.
In TYQ, he once picked up a heavy tree branch as a makeshift weapon.
How he was going to use it was not described, but I suspect that since his elemental power is sealed, he was going to attack the Voroxes by “hitting them directly” or “throwing” them.
(I’m sure Toa Orde and Glatorian Gelu know that Glatorians are weaker than Toa, but for some reason they are trying so hard to escape the “hunt”. I interpreted this as “there are too many Voroxes to win by strength alone”. At the same time, since Orde, as a veteran-warrior, must have understood that it is reckless to challenge an opponent who is obviously unbeatable in close combat alone.
So I guess to his actions: By throwing branches at them with Sanok, he can beat a certain number of them by the size and weight of the branches, while continuing to flee, and then throwing branches again. I suspect that he was trying to win the battle by repeatedly throwing branches with Sanok. Because His Mask Power hadn’t be sealed.
Agreed. Dark Green/Lime Green and Dark Green/Mata Green are color schemes Toa haven’t explored before, the former only being explored in Glatorian and the latter never occurring at all.
For one, the most accurate person in the world couldn’t throw a blade of grass through a chain.
And even disregarding that physical impossibility, that’s not how accuracy works. Being accurate doesn’t mean you can throw things faster or harder. Sure, there is probably some increase in throwing power – knowing how best to accelerate your arm, knowing when to let go – but that’s just going to make your throwing power as strong as it can be, not magnitudes of order stronger than it should be. Similar to how the calix enabled Jaller to jump farther than he could normally, by getting the right timing, power, angle, etc., but he still wouldn’t have been able to jump 200 feet in one leap.
“I recognize that the canon has made a decision. However, given that it’s a stupid-■■■ decision, I’ve elected to ignore it.” - Rac Fury.
Everyone else ignores that love isn’t canon. I ignore that the Sanok is canonically the mask of Flippingthekakapoatphysics.
And thus I stand on my opinion that a Sanok is a dumb mask for a Toa of Psionics.
I’m going to hold the exact opposite opinion, however, that the Sanok is a great mask for Toa of Psionics - most notably, the first one.
Although by Sanok, I do mean the KhingK version and not the Inika one. Yuck.
Everyone may see me as a flake, but at least I don’t refuse to that BIO-being cannot understand “love”.
Yes, I am sorry, very sorry. But I don’t deny it.
because it is the true and canon. off course, We can many interpretation with each headcanon. but it is canon, unfortunaly.
AND this is my personal opinion,we are not BIO beings - I, as a “human” cannot deny the possibility that there was a “special” emotional structure that we “humans” could not have, that only they could have, that only they could recognize. at least, We HUMANS can’t understand the truth.
(off course, this is also my headcanon)
I meant I don’t see an issue with how the Sanok relates to the Pakari. The Sanok doesn’t make the Pakari useless.
But it’s how the Sanok works. It’s canon. You can ignore it if you want, but talking about it in a topic centered around canon compliant contests is rather pointless.
Technically he only said the OoMN didn’t give him a rebreather for underwater, not that that’s the default, but I’m pretty sure TTV’s stance is it’s the default so my opinion doesn’t matter
These statements consist of:
LinkNidhiki has the same kind of mask as Nuparu. LinkNuparu’s has tubes attached so it isn’t standard shape
Yeaaaaah, consciously and constantly masking your presence from every mind in the area, while the Huna is just automatic and doesn’t need to apply to every person who could possible see you? Sure, maybe he could do it, but the Huna would make it like 50X easier.
Slight aside here: we actually don’t know if the Power inhibitor affects Kanohi. I would assume it does – why make it so it only half depowers your opponent, when the GB’s have shown they are perfectly capable of turning off a Kanohi?
Perhaps “automatic” was a poor choice of words. I mean you don’t have to focus on every mind in the area, just focus on using your mask power for however long you need.
It’s the difference between manually turning every crank on a machine and setting up a gear system so that one crank turns them all. Still manual, but a lot less to do at once.
Ah, sorry. I still don’t think it holds, though. If Psionics’ ability to mask themselves from other beings required a lot more focus than just using a Huna or Volitak, why make it an ability for Psionics at all? As you said, why not just use a Huna instead? It’s precisely that reason I don’t think it takes as much concentration as you suggest.
Not very relevant to the story, but I didn’t know until I saw this post that Greg-Nidhiki (Almost canon Nidhiki) wasn’t silver and green …
But I may enter the contest with my silver and green Nidhiki!(if it allows)
(I’m sorry and forgive me, @Racie02! I did I’m acting in what appears to be a contradiction on THIS MOC!
After all, these activities, including discussions with opposing views, are fun in Japan, a country where Bionicle is almost forgotten! )
Ah, I see the confusion here. I never said anything about the Pakari. Other people started arguing that idea. Even if the Sanok worked the way Greg thinks accuracy works, it still can’t do anything a pakari can.
Let me sum it up, then:
If the Sanok works the way a mask of Accuracy should work, there’s no reason for Orde to wear it.
If the Sanok works the way Greg thinks Accuracy works, a case could be made that orde might wear it. (Though I still prefer he didn’t)
@Bukkey I think you @'ed the wrong person, I haven’t said anything about Nidhiki.
Why make it an ability for Psionics if it isn’t as powerful? Masking your presence with Psionics could still be useful – say for example you’re in a tunnel or building and need to sneak past a small group.
Why not just use a Huna instead? Probably because not every Toa of Psionics wears a Huna or has one on their Suva.
You’re still framing it in way that says Greg is wrong (how it should vs how Greg says it is), which is pointless for these contests.
That’s not what I said. I already said it isn’t as powerful by not fooling technological systems while the Huna can. You said using the Huna would be “50X easier.” I’m only saying I don’t think the difference is that drastic.
Just a casual reminder that in four more days its been a month since the polls was announced to be in the works
Just gonna preface this by saying I’m not expecting TTV to give up their lives over them but an update soon would be really welcome. If their is no update that’s fine too.
The question is comparing Nidhiki and Nuparu, stating that they are only different due to the additions on Nuparu’s.
It was never said Artakha couldn’t be another color in addition to sand green. Additionally - The Helryx quote doesn’t simply say she is dark blue, but that she is dark blue rather than light blue - as if those are the only two shades of blue (spoiler, they’re not).
