Which Krana-Kal do you think each of the Bohrok-Kal used?

We see several of their Krana physically during various events in the story, for example, we know that Tahnok-Kal was using a Za-Kal at the time Onua and Pohatu defeated it, and Kohrak-Kal and Nuhvok-Kal had the Su-Kal and Xa-Kal respectively during their attempt to free the Bahrag.

While they likely started switching Krana based on the situation at hand once they had the support of the Bohrok-Va (honestly, I’d love to see the Bohrok-Kal being accompanied by a whole squad of Va carrying their alternate Krana-Kal so they can switch out as necessary), I do think it’s possible to determine which carried what.

Tahnok-Kal, being the leader, likely used a Za-Kal most of the time. Za-Kal’s power was Telepathy, the same as its non-Kal counterpart, though it gains the added ability to sense strong emotion.

Among normal Bohrok, Krana Za was used by squad leaders (which is probably why it was the one used to control high-value targets like Matau and Lewa), while Xa commanded entire swarms, but Xa-Kal is now the key to awakening the Bahrag, so Za being promoted to the “Overseer” rank makes sense, and it’s probably thus the leader’s Krana of choice.

Maybe Tahnok-Kal lost access to this Krana after Onua and Pohatu took it, I’m not really sure if there were multiple copies of each Krana-Kal made.

Kohrak-Kal having Su-Kal makes sense too. Su-Kal is another Krana-Kal that shares its power with the default Krana version, adding endurance and temperature-resistance to the extant super-strength. Kohrak-Kal had to operate in Ko-Wahi (though either Greg messed up the powers or the Kal were together when they took Kopaka’s symbol, because Matoro is defeated by Gravity, not Sonics), and, like its counterpart among the Toa Nuva, it was also the lone wolf of the Kal.

Unlike Kopaka, of course, this was less by choice, and more because its teammates legitimately couldn’t stand it. Kohrak-Kal was so powerful that its sonic abilities were actually dangerous for the other Kal to be around.

With that in mind, it makes sense that Kohrak-Kal would usually have Su-Kal as its choice, it would need superior physical might if it was to operate alone.

Nuhvok-Kal is the bearer of Xa-Kal. Xa-Kal is the most important of the bunch, being vitally necessary for their mission, though it wouldn’t surprise me if multiple Bohrok-Kal used Xa-Kal during their attempt to free the Bahrag, just in case one or more of them were disabled.

Still, Nuhvok-Kal is one of the more powerful Bohrok-Kal, and using it as the vessel for the key would be a smart choice.

So that’s half of them, but can we work out the others? In my opinion, yes, at least partially.

Pahrak-Kal is the easiest one. Pahrak-Kal was the member of the team that found the Bahrag, and hey, look, they had a Krana-Kal for exactly that. Ca-Kal is the “Seeker” Krana-Kal, trading out its counterparts shielding power in favour of a new one that links it mentally to the Bahrag and allows it to track them. And it doesn’t give the user headaches to tell them they’re getting closer, sucks to be you, Hahli.

Greg is inconsistent on how great the range of the Krana’s power is, but given that Pahrak-Kal specifically was the one to do the exact job that the Ca-Kal was made for, I’d say that it did so by using Ca-Kal.

From here, it’s more vague, but there’s some conjecture that could suggest an answer for Gahlok-Kal.

During the theft of the symbols, it was Gahlok-Kal and Nuhvok-Kal who took Lewa’s symbol. They both escaped very quickly, and Gahlok-Kal in particular went all the way from the southern reaches of Le-Wahi to Po-Koro in the north, to take Pohatu’s symbol and cover him in goats.

With that in mind, I’d suggest that Gahlok-Kal used the Vu-Kal, which grants the user super-speed, both on the ground and through the air, to get from one location to the other at such a pace.

That leaves only Lehvak-Kal, and while normally the answer would just be “Whichever one’s left,” unfortunately we have eight Krana shapes, and there are actually three remaining unclaimed Krana-Kal.

So what does Lehvak-Kal do in the story? It’s described as relying on ambush tactics, disappearing into the jungle to evade its opponents, and is the one that took Onua’s symbol. And frustratingly, all three of the remaining options fit at least part of that role. Bo-Kal gave it night vision and x-ray vision, Yo-Kal allowed it to actually tunnel through the ground at an accelerated rate, and Ja-Kal gave it radar and enhanced senses.

Fortunately, there’s an answer for this, because Lehvak-Kal was one of the three that fused into their Kaita form. Kaita for all three forms of Bohrok are named for the Krana that controls them, and in this case, the Kaita is named “Ja”, and as Lehvak-Kal is the only one without a confirmed or speculated Krana-Kal, and as it also forms the head of the Kaita, I think it’s safe to say that Lehvak-Kal had the Ja-Kal. The same is true of the opposite Kaita, having Tahnok-Kal form the head, and being named “Za.”

I’ve typed -Kal so often that it’s lost all meaning.

I just realized how Mata Nui's Scarab Shield incorporates the design of Matoro's Twin Cutter into its structure... From a Doylist perspective, I know the designers often build off of designs from pre-existing pieces to make new ones; For example, the Olmak is based on a fusion of the Kualsi with Gahlok-Kal's shield.

But from an in-universe perspective, it's poetic; It's like a bit of Matoro still lives on in Mata Nui, whom he gave his life to revive. It's like Mata Nui is paying tribute to Matoro himself, and it reminds me of how if you place the sets that wear the Mask of Life in sequence -Vezon, Ignika, and Mata Nui- it looks almost as if they're morphing into one another. It’s also like how the Chronicler's Staff piece 'unfolds' to become Takanuva's Staff of Light.

Return to ToyFare™

Mark of MoD November 17, 2003

The BOHROK-KAL.

PAHRAK KAL and GAHLOK KAL did not seem to make the photo-shoot. They were no doubt busy sneaking off with some TOA NUVA’s symbol and elemental power.

There is little new in the write-up, but they do quote BIONICLE ™ comic author Greg Farshtey as saying the BOHROK-KAL are trying to reactivate the BOHROK swarms. In addition, the BOHROK-KAL elemental forces are listed: electricity, magnetism, sonics, gravity, plasma, and vacuum. Unfortunately, the article insists on using the gratingly-plural “BIONICLES” five times.

ToyFare ™ Issue 65 January 2003 is on sale now at most comic shops: $4.99 US or $6.95 Canadian.

Thanks to Swiftone for the heads up. source

ToyFare™ TOA

Mark of MoD November 17, 2003

One year after TOA GALI NUVA last graced the cover of ToyFare™ magazine, TOA VAKAMA makes his cover appearance on the #77 January 2004 issue, available now. A few friends join him inside the mag, where two of the keepers of the BIONICLE™ legend, Greg Farshtey and Brian Bowler, also weigh in with some interesting information about what is in store in ’04. Storywise, that would include “an evil plant plague” going by the name Morbuzakh.

We get some interesting portrayals of some of the Bohrok's shields here.

The Gahlok are shown positioning their arms so that they can use their shields as fins or paddles, which, given their fin-like aesthetic, is highly appropriate and I'm pleased to see that aspect of the design acknowledged and fleshed out. Plus it helps explain how these roly-polies swim.

And then for the Tahnok, I think this is the only time we see their shields portrayed as just claws, with the inner flame piece drawn as actual flames they're projecting. This will be changed by the next issue so it's especially neat to see this interpretation.

I can't believe I've been putting this off for almost a month now, but I guess perfection is hard to recreate. You can also access this on my Pixiv. Also they never did explain anything about the symbol, I think.

do you think that mental illness is an important theme of anime

Gahlok-Kal's tools were a pair of Magnetism Shields which collected, controlled and directed the power of magnetism from the earth. The magnetic field could be employed as a defensive force field against attack or as a formidable weapon. The shield was also used for a variety of mundane tasks, such as shattering magnetic rock.

A veces, en los momentos difíciles lo mejor que podemos hacer es echarnos un baño de sol, tal y como lo hace Gahlok.

[ENGLISH]

Sometimes, in difficult times, the best thing we can do is take a sunbath, just like Gahlok does.
