BIONICLE Headcanons

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere on the site, but I figure I may as well say it here for the record - Kopaka is the most capable Toa out of any group.

There’s a number of feats which convinced me of this:

  • Kopaka can outwill the strength of level 6 Fear Kraata

The infamously comedic scene in BIONICLE #14: At Last — Takanuva! depicting Kopaka succumbing to the power of a level 6 Fear Kraata in a Turahk is immediately followed up with Kopaka overriding the Rahkshi’s fear power and blasting it with ice.

  • Kopaka can tank a wall of flames with no visible reaction

There is some slightly strange phrasing going on, and it appears at though Tahu potentially cuts the flame wall right after Kopaka steps into it, but the usage of through makes me think he finished passing through before it went down.

Pulse Bolt Generators are weapons used by Garan which send out pulse bolts, blasts of energy which strengthen over the distance which they travel. BIONICLE Legends #1: Island of Doom lists an instance where Garan aimed them directly at the ground.

With this in consideration, let us assume Kopaka was standing six feet away, with the power creep of the blast being so minimally small as to make no difference. I’m not great at math, but a force that can carve six feet into the soil striking Kopaka dead-on in repeated succession is worth writing home about.
It’s also important to note that it does not say he took the blows unfazed, only unwavering. Unwavering synonyms are: unchanging, steady, undeviating, invariant. It seems that, regardless of his level of reaction o the blasts, it was minimal enough to never interrupt his stride.

Hopefully this will help recontextualize some of Kopaka’s other feats and how he is compared to other Toa, and to some of the villains who managed to take him down.
