Today some very strange occurred to me. One of my friends sent me a bionicle
movie from the online game. The movie was about the Toa Kaita. The one with
the Kanohi Hau named himself Wairuha  "Spirit of Valor, hear me! I -- AM --
WAIRUHA" and the other one with the Kanohi Miru called himself Akamai
"Spirit of Wisdom, hear me! I -- AM -- AKAMAI".

But on the promo CD that was delivered with one of my Toa it is quite the
opposite. And also in the comic where Gali is having a vision they are
called as on the promo CD. The one with the Kanohi Hau is Akamai and the one
with the Kanohi Miru is Wairuha.

A little mistake on the online game? Or somewhere else ...

In "reality" this is an error, but I have no problem thinking of it as a
mystical conundrum that is not a problem for the Kaita themselves. Maybe
this is what Vakama was referring to when he spoke of Tahu 'needing
direction.' Perhaps the Toa are a bit addled still.

There has also been confusion about what name goes with which Tohunga. From
the materials*, I conclude that only the Toa have the ability to use
multiple masks - that perhaps is the function of their shrines. The Tohunga
and Turaga are never shown switching masks, so I think if you see a black
Pakari on a tan body with black feet in the afternoon, it's the same Tohunga
with a black Pakari, tan body and black feet that you had breakfast with.

If the Tohunga eat breakfast.

(...) They fixed the "error." Go watch the movie again, and you'll see. Oh, and Jaap? Don't watch the movie your friend gave you, unless it's a link. If it's not a link, just go to www.lego.com/matanui...e_8-6.swf, because if it's the actual movie (...) (23 years ago, 27-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
