🎶And then I crashed into you

And I went up in flames, could've been the death of me

But then you breathed your breath in me

And I crashed into you

Like a runaway train, you will consume me

There are times I wish that the Agori & Protectors were just Matoran.

One of the things I’ve come to like about the Bionicle mini sets is that it shows you how unique & diverse the Bionicle universe appears.

NEW video up on my channel!

So like, did Nuju give the Le-Matoran some lessons on how to speak to birds so they could form the Gukko Bird Force? Because its the only thing that makes sense. Before they came to Mata Nui, they make a big point that Le-Matoran have tried and failed many times to ride Gukko birds. But when we saw the Le-Matoran in the present, they've gotten training and riding the birds down to an art. So what changed?

The first time Gukko birds were ever ridden in known history was during the Hordika arc when Nuju and Kualus rid them to escape the Visorak. And Kualus was only able to call them because he spoke their language, rather than trying to break and tame them. And then of course Nuju goes on to only speak in the language of flying Rahi his whole time on the island. So did Nuju teach them some bird language to help them out?

We see in Mask of Light that Lewa called a Gukko to him with a whistle, which we know the language of the fliers is mainly whistles and clicks, so it makes sense. Maybe they weren't taught the full language, but enough to make simple commands and communication with their birds.

The other potential option is that it was actually Matoro who taught them, which I also enjoy for a few reasons. Matoro was more friendly and patient, had a known love of Rahi, and did form partnerships with people from other villages in his spare time. Plus, that opens up the possibility that Matoro specifically taught Kongu, who was known as the best bird wrangler on the island, which could potentially deepen their character relationship. I know some people ship Kongu and Matoro, and this is some nice fuel for that.
