BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn is a 2009 direct-to-videoscience fantasyaction film based on the Bionicle toy line by Lego. It is the fourth and final Bionicle film to be released. Distributed by Universal Studios Home Entertainment, the film is a stand-alone sequel to the trilogy of films released by Miramax Home Entertainment. It follows the toy line's 2009 story and features a different set of characters than that of the first three films. The Legend Reborn was released on September 15, 2009 in the United States and Canada, October 5, 2009 in the United Kingdom, and September 2, 2009 in Australia. The film stars Michael Dorn as the voice of Mata Nui.
The Legend Reborn was intended to be the start of a trilogy of films, but production on the sequels was cancelled due to Lego discontinuing the release of Bionicle toys in 2010. The story was concluded through other media outlets, including comic books and a web story titled the 'Mata Nui Saga'.
Plot[edit]
Mata Nui (Michael Dorn), the Great Spirit of the Matoran universe on Aqua Magna, has been exiled from his home by his 'brother,' the evil Makuta Teridax. Teridax took over his gigantic robot body just after Mata Nui's reawakening as the latter's spirit is transferred into the legendary Kanohi Mask of Life. The mask escapes into space while Teridax begins his takeover of the Matoran Universe.
The mask crash lands on Bara Magna, a remote, decaying wasteland planet of scrap parts and burnished metals. A Scarabax beetle watches as the Mask of Life creates a body for Mata Nui, who picks up the Scarabax (later naming it Click). The beetle changes into a living shield after touching the mask. Just then, a scorpion-like being called a Vorox attacks Mata Nui and after a struggle, breaks off its stinger and flees. Mata Nui takes the stinger and encounters a villager named Metus (David Leisure).
An Agori recruiter, Metus takes Mata Nui to Vulcanus, telling the ex-ruler about life on Bara Magna. Local villages scavenge for what remains, building shelters, survival gear and ultimately arenas where they can settle their disputes by putting the best Glatorian from each village against one another. Metus introduces Mata Nui to Raanu (Armin Shimerman), the Agori leader of Vulcanus, during a fight between veteran fighter Strakk (Jeff Glen Bennett) and Vulcanus' troubled prime Glatorian, Ackar (Jim Cummings). Strakk concedes, but illegally attacks Ackar afterwards. Mata Nui intervenes and, though outclassed, accidentally uses his mask to transform the stinger into a sword. He forces Strakk to concede again, befriending Ackar in the process.
Metus later attempts to recruit Mata Nui, who refuses. Ackar introduces the hero to Kiina (Marla Sokoloff), a feisty Glatorian from the village of Tajun. In exchange for showing the two Glatorians a secret cavern underneath Tajun, Kiina would like to leave Bara Magna with Mata Nui, believing that anywhere is better than her native planet. On their way to Tajun, the three Glatorians are ambushed by a Skopio beast in Sandray Canyon, along with a group of Bone Hunters, to whom an Agori traitor has revealed the Glatorians' destination. After trapping both beneath a rockslide, they discover that Tajun had been attacked by the Bone Hunters and the formidable Skrall army, who have overcome their former rivalry. Rescuing an injured Glatorian rookie, Gresh (Mark Famiglietti), the heroes follow Kiina to the caverns, where they encounter Berix (James Arnold Taylor), a thief. While Berix tends to Gresh, the other three discover a laboratory containing a blueprint of the robot that was once Mata Nui's body, hinting that Bara Magna may have a connection with the Matoran.
As the Glatorians leave, Gresh reveals his weapon was damaged; Ackar wonders if Mata Nui's mask would work on the Glatorian weapons. As his mask seems to work on things that are/were alive and most weapons are made of bone or claw, Mata Nui successfully repairs and transforms their weapons, in the process granting the Glatorians elemental abilities of fire, water, and air for Ackar, Kiina, and Gresh, respectively. As they travel to Gresh's village, Tesara, Ackar teaches Mata Nui to stay alert in battle and to study and find his opponent's weakness. Upon arrival, the Glatorians stop a fight between Vastus (James Arnold Taylor) and Tarix (Jeff Glen Bennett), urging the Agori that to unite their villages against the Skrall—Bone Hunter alliance. Mata Nui proves himself by transforming Tarix's and Vastus' weapons.
Kiina follows Berix to the hot springs outside the village, convinced that he is the traitor. However, both are captured by the actual traitor. Upon being informed, Mata Nui ignores Ackar's and Gresh's offers for assistance and sets off for the Skrall camp in Roxtus on his own.
Mata Nui confronts Skrall leader Tuma and challenges him to a one-on-one fight to win Kiina and Berix's freedom, and eventually defeats him by exploiting a vulnerable spot in Tuma's back, claiming Tuma's shield. Metus reveals himself as the traitor, explaining how he got the nomads and the Skrall to unite, intending to lead them against the Agori, feeling that they never respected him. Reasoning that he will have taken over Bara Magna before the Glatorians realize his treachery, he orders the Skrall and Bone Hunters to kill Mata Nui, Kiina and Berix, but an immense being composed of other Scarabax beetles summoned by Click keeps them busy, allowing Mata Nui to use Tuma's shield (which is also a circular saw) to free Kiina and Berix. Ackar and Gresh join them, leading several Glatorians against the united army. Berix defeats several Bone Hunters despite his incompetence, but goes missing during the fight. Mata Nui captures and defeats Metus by transforming him into a snake, as a representation of what he truly is, and has the Glatorians combine their powers against the waves of Skrall and Bone Hunters, forcing them to retreat.
As the team watches the combined efforts of the Agori, Glatorians and Scarabax beetles pulling the villages together, they notice that the combined villages formed a large robotic body, similar to the one Mata Nui's spirit once inhabited. To further this, Berix reveals a coin with the Unity-Duty-Destiny symbol, the Bara Magna symbol, and the Mask of Life symbol on one side, and the Skrall symbol on the other; Mata Nui realizes that the maze-like symbol forms a map. With this information in hand, the team prepares to embark on their next adventure.

Production[edit]
Unlike the first three films, The Legend Reborn was produced by Threshold Animation Studios and distributed by Universal Studios Home Entertainment, while the original trilogy was produced by Creative Capers Entertainment and distributed by Miramax Home Entertainment.
After reading the script the director, Mark Baldo thought of casting Michael Dorn of Star Trek for the voice of Mata Nui.[1]
The idea to make Click, Mata Nui's companion Scarabax beetle, have the ability to turn into a shield for his master at will was the idea of director Mark Baldo. It was not originally in the script, Farshtey thought it was a cute idea so he approved it.
The film was to be the beginning of a new Bionicle trilogy, and the writers were working on a draft for a sequel, but the Lego company cancelled the toyline and hence the movies.
Reception[edit]
BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn has received mixed to positive reactions, but amongst fans of Bionicle, the film was given mostly mixed reactions.[citation needed]
While many fans praised the voice acting, visuals, and action sequence, they also criticized the film for its more childish tone compared to the firstthreefilms, which generally took a more serious and dramatic approach to their respective plots.

Go To
The Incarnates
General
The victims of the villainess Priestess who remained heroes. While all of them come from very different worlds, they are all ultimately facing the same problem: having to cope with the memories of an entirely different life, with homes and loved ones they will never get to see again, all while working to protect the world from evil.
General Tropes
- Blessed with Suck: They get their Past-Life Memories, including all the baggage said past life had. That also includes remembering loved ones that they'll more than likely never get to see again, and remembering their deaths.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Most of them aren't all there, to say the least.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: All of their past lives are characters from a different franchise, and the story doesn't isolate itself to one genre. While most are from anime/manga, there is also live-action film, live-action TV (including American Sentai) and western animation.
- Reincarnation: All of them are the reincarnation of a character from another franchise.
- Took a Level in Badass: On top of whatever the skills they inherited from their past lives, they also inherit Past-Life Memories, which includes combat experience. This especially applies to the UA students, who now have decades of combat experience to fall back on and access to polished fighting styles they can integrate their Quirks into. Compare that to before, where many of them had never been in a real fight beyond All Might's first-class and didn't really have any sort of fighting style at all.

Izuku Midoriya — 'Deku'
Izuku Midoriya
Past Life: 'Black Leg' Vinsmoke Sanji
The main protagonist of the story and the reincarnation of the legendary pirate and cook, 'Black Leg' Vinsmoke Sanji.
- Broken Ace: A Supreme Chef, a master martial artist, and a master Haki user who is all but guaranteed to be the greatest hero in the world. He's also stuck with perpetual personality shifts, had to suffer horrific bullying in both his current and past lives (leaving with him a major chip on his shoulder), and barely has any control over his Quirk due to his idol being a comically inept teacher.
- Blessed with Suck: With Sanji's strength and cooking skills comes all of Sanji's personality traits, including his perversion, his inability to hit women, and his chain-smoking. Though Izuku admits that as bad as this is, it's nothing compared to what Mashirao has to go through.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: He's the only one who really knows how to handle Mashirao's No Sense of Direction, thanks to Sanji's own experiences with Zoro.
- Combat Pragmatist: As morally upstanding Sanji was, he was still a pirate. Thus, Izuku has no issues playing dirty as long as it won’t backfire on him.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Nearly every fight he's had is this with him on the giving end. Of Class 1-A, only Shouto was able to give him anything close to a real fight, and it became obvious early on that Izuku could've ended the fight at any point. The only reason he didn't was to force Shouto to use his flames, and even then he still won.
- The Dreaded: He is by far the strongest incarnate Priestess has awoken, as the villainess herself admits. He quickly proves why at the USJ and the Sports Festival, to the point that people actively fear fighting him and dread about what kind of hero he'll be when he's fully trained.
- Drama-Preserving Handicap:
- His inability to hit women was just about the only thing stopping him from wrecking the League of Villains at the USJ, due to Priestess constantly and purposefully getting in his way. He also still doesn't have full control over One For All despite his body now being strong enough to handle most of the backlash.
- The author then attempted to add another one with the mental block in Forgot About His Powers below to balance out him finally gaining control over his Quirk. However, fan backlash over this decision forced her to truncate and end this subplot as soon as feasibly possible.
- Forgot About His Powers: Played for Drama. During the Stain arc, finally gaining control over his Quirk causes Izuku to develop a subconscious mental block preventing him from accessing Sanji's abilities until reminded by another person. Hibiki speculates that the block was a psychological response to becoming so strong in such a short time (i.e. going from a weakling to an uber-tier combatant in literally thirty seconds). According to Word of God, he'll overcome it after the Final Exams arc.
- Giving Up on Logic: Admitted to giving up on logic in his past life as Sanji and operates under a similar mindset as Izuku.
- Ki Attacks: Unlike Ochako and Momo, he has access to Haki because it isn't another form of energy, just the physical manifestation/materialization of his willpower. He uses Armament to strengthen his legs and to mitigate the backlash of One For All and uses Observation to predict the movements of his opponents. He also has access to Conqueror's, much to his surprise, and uses it during his match against Shinsou. Izuku believes that One For All replicated the ability from his memories since Sanji didn't have it, while the readers suspect that he was just born with it since he's Sanji's reincarnation, not Sanji himself.
- Mood Whiplash: Literally. Because Izuku and Sanji have strongly differing personalities, Izuku has to deal with perpetual mood shifts every time he goes into 'Sanji mode'. Hibiki confides that he'll have to deal with this for the rest of his life.
- Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Not to say Sanji was weak — he was one of the most powerful pirates to have ever sailed the Grand Line. However, he wasn't the most powerful (as Izuku puts it, he was a step below 'uber-tier', much to Hibiki's disbelief). Regardless, that is still overpowered by the standards of My Hero Academia; he's now the strongest member of his class by far and close to being on par with All Might without his Quirk.
- The Power of Hate: His 'Hell Memories' technique is powered by the worst memories of his life. The one he used against Shouto was powered by the memories of his shitty childhood in both his past life and his current life. The one he used against Katsuki was powered by his memories of Luffy's death and Sanji's death.
- The Rival: He has at least five: Katsuki, Shouto, Momo, Tenya, and...Lunch Rush?
- Seen It All: Compared to the Grand Line, a magical world filled with talking ponies barely warrants a blip on the radar.
- Ship Tease: There's something going on between him and Ochako.
- Story-Breaker Power: Since all of Sanji's strength was based on pure skill, and Haki is only the materialization of willpower instead of an entirely new form of energy, Izuku's strength was not nerfed. At all. He quickly proves to be so powerful that he becomes of the League of Villains' number one target, above even All Might. Literally, the only thing stopping him from breaking the plot all together is Sanji's personality flaws.
- Supreme Chef: He has all of Sanji's cooking skills, automatically making him the best chef in the world. This quickly earns him the ire of Lunch Rush, who declares them cooking rivals.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Becomes this with Bakugo after the exam. As while he is willing to forgive him, he's still angry about all that happened with the bullying.
- Worf Had the Flu:
- The only reason he didn't wreck the League of Villains at the USJ was that Priestess took advantage of his Would Not Hit a Girl tendencies and kept getting in his way until the stress of having his Past-Life Memories awakened finally knocked him out. Even then he did plenty enough damage to force them to flee after All Might arrived and beat Nomu.
- The mental block in Forgot About His Powers above is the only reason Izuku didn't fight and beat Stain by himself. Because of the block he actually thought he needed help beating Stain when, in reality, he didn't.
- Would Not Hit a Girl: Initially played straight, though slowly starting to be subverted. Izuku's inherited Sanji's inability to hit women but has been actively working to overcome that, starting by regularly sparring with Momo. However, he still has no idea how effective that training has been; while he can fight Momo seriously, he doesn't know if he can do the same with another female.
Ochako Uraraka
Past Life: Hinata Uzumaki, nee Hyuuga
- Drama-Preserving Handicap: Since chakra doesn’t exist and she no longer has the Byakugan, Ochako only inherited Hinata's taijutsu skills and basic ninja training.
- Only Sane Man: Of the Incarnates, she has the least amount of... peculiarities. Since most of Hinata's oddities revolved around her mountain-sized crush on Naruto, Ochako has none of them because she doesn't feel that strongly for anyone (yet). Though they begin to surface when near her current crush (especially during the Final Exams): Izuku.
- Ship Tease: There's something going on between her and Izuku.
Momo Yaoyorozu
Past Life: Erza Fernandes, nee Scarlet
- Berserk Button: Minoru Mineta, which is implied to be due to his similarities to Erza's Berserk Button, Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki.
- Drama-Preserving Handicap: While she can recreate normal weapons and use them, she has no access to her magical ones anymore, nor to magic in general. That's just about the only thing preventing her from being as absurdly overpowered as Izuku.
- Friendly Rival: To Izuku, and vice versa.
- Hate at First Sight: Gained an instant hatred of Mineta once she saw him after gaining her Past-Life Memories. It's implied to be because Mineta reminds her of Ichiya, who was also a perverted dwarf.
- I Let You Win: She forfeited her match with Katsuki so Izuku could fight him, knowing that this was Izuku's battle, not hers.
- Spontaneous Weapon Creation: She can mimic Erza's requip magic via her Quirk, though it takes far more energy and time than she would like. She also doesn't have access to any of her magical weapons and armor anymore.
Mashirao Ojiro
Past Life: Ryoga Hibiki
- Achievements in Ignorance:
- Somehow managed to win second place in the first round of the Sports Festival by getting lost.
- Later on, he joins the confrontation against Stain, despite never even checking his phone to find Izuku's message. How? He got lost. Again.
- Beyond the Impossible: His ability to get lost defies all normal comprehension, to the point that Hibiki has given up trying to make sense of it for the sake of his own sanity.
- Blessed with Suck: He may be an even better martial artist than before, but he also got saddled with the worst sense of direction in all of anime.
- Logical Weakness: Ryoga's abilities only increased his power, not his speed, so a sufficiently fast enough opponent could dodge his attacks and defeat him if given an opening. Stain, one such opponent, took advantage of this and nearly succeeded if not for Mashirao's comrades.
- No Sense of Direction: His awakening of his Past-Life Memories immediately broke whatever sense of direction he may have had. For example, when his parents drop him in front of U.A. the day after his past life memories come in, he immediately begins to walk away without noticing it.
Toru Hagakure
Past Life: Pinkamena 'Pinkie' Diane Pie
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Well, she is the reincarnation of Pinkie Pie, so she's gonna be either doing this or leaning on it from time to time.
- Hammerspace: She's the reincarnation of Pinkie Pie. Do the math.
- Life of the Party: Again, Pinkie Pie. She even plans on having a side job as a party planner when she goes pro.
- My Significance Sense Is Tingling: The awakening of her Past-Life Memories also reawakened the Pinkie Sense.
- The Power of Friendship: Believes in this strongly, since her entire world ran on friendship.
- Serious Business: Pinkie Promises. Tenya breaking his to not confront Stain outright enraged her, and she specifically used her Hammerspace abilities to teleport to his location and scold him.
- Tastes Like Diabetes: The My Little Pony world, and by extension, her, are regarded as this In-Universe. Compared to the worlds everyone else came from, it's not hard to see why.
- Voice of the Legion: Briefly when Tenya break his Pinkie Promise not to go after Stain

Hibiki Kinzoku — 'Orchestra Rave'
Hibiki Kinzoku
Past Life: Anthony 'Tony' Edward Stark — 'Iron Man'
- Book Dumb: According to both him and his AI Aiko, he was a complete moron before regaining his Past-Life Memories as Tony.
- Butt-Monkey: A frequent target of mockery, particularly from his Benevolent A.I. Aiko.
- Deadpan Snarker: Well, he is the reincarnation of the MCU Tony Stark.
- Ditzy Genius: He's got all of Tony Stark's intelligence, but is this thanks to his default personality being that of a moron.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Having Tony's brains makes him one of the smartest people on the planet, and one of Mei Hatsume's idols.
- Gale-Force Sound: His Quirk allows him to use sonic blasts, which he quickly incorporated into his new armor after regaining Tony's memories.
- Hopeless with Tech: He can't even use Amazon without accessing Tony's memories.
- The Nicknamer: As the reincarnation of MCU Tony Stark, this is to be expected, calling Izuku 'Long John Silver', Mashirao 'Tails' and Aizawa 'David Lynch'.
- Story-Breaker Power: Downplayed. While he didn't get extra abilities or skills, Tony's sheer brilliance more than made up for it and has probably advanced Earth's technology by at least a century. In fact, before Izuku came along Hibiki was the standard for how badly Priestess' Quirk could backfire.
- Team Dad: Acts like an overenthusiastic dad throughout the entire Sports Festival, cheering on his kids like no tomorrow.
Yuzu Hoseki
Past Life: Elizabeth 'Liz' Lemon
- Cast from Calories: How her quirk works. Unfortunately thanks to her past life's love of her food this is now a real problem when she gets an empty stomach.
- Spontaneous Weapon Creation: She can create weapons like a giant hammer made of crystals.
- Unstoppable Rage: Flies into this when she's hungry, as two poor villains learned. No, I'm not making that up.
Hana
Past Life: Rose Quartz
- Green Thumb/ Making a Splash: Her quirk Watering Can combine the two, she creates water that instantly causes any flowering plant to grow.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Everything that Rose did in her life has left her reincarnation with severe depression.
Chouko
Past Life: Eclipsa Butterfly
- Big Eater: Inherited the 'self-control issues' that her past life had with candy bars.
Advertisement:
Class 1-A
Tenya Iida — 'Ingenium'
Tenya Iida
- Sixth Ranger: He's not an Incarnate but is still a frequent member of their friend group thanks to his preexisting friendships with Izuku and Ochako. Ochako later confirms his status as an 'unofficial' member of the group.
Shouto Todoroki
- The Comically Serious: He was the only one in the midst of Toru's impromptu party in the USJ.
- Curb Stomp Cushion: He was the only one able to give Izuku anything close to resembling an actual fight at the Sports Festival, and it was blatantly obvious that if Izuku had bothered to take things seriously from the beginning, he would not have lasted as long as he did.
- Failed a Spot Check: During the USJ incident, he didn't notice the party hat Toru put on his head until it was explicitly pointed out to him.
Katsuki Bakugo
- 0% Approval Rating: His already shoddy reputation with the UA student body is absolutely destroyed after a comment on one of Aiko's memes exposes his past as a bully.
- Heel Realization: He finally realizes how much of an asshole he's been after he learns that he suicide-baited Izuku and completely forgot about it.
- Odd Friendship: With Toru, who is actively trying to redeem his character, along with Koda later.
Villains
Priestess
- 0% Approval Rating: Thanks to the effects of her Quirk, she's one of the most hated villains in Japan, if not the world. This is particularly noticeable considering that she's not a killer.
- I Need a Freaking Drink:
- She demanded booze after awakening Hibiki and Yuzu's past lives as Tony Stark and Liz Lemon, respectively. She quickly hits Kurogiri's bar again after All Might shows up at the USJ, having finally had it with the day.
- She went on another bender after accidentally awakening the reincarnation of who is all but stated to be TommyOliver.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain!:
- Effectively screwed over villains for the next couple of decades thanks to giving Izuku his Past-Life Memories as Sanji.
- Her Quirk, in general, is a double-edged sword. While she does manage to take out a lot of heroes and even convert some to villainy, that's more than made up by those who continue as heroes and have some extra skills and abilities thanks to her. Izuku is obviously the worst case of this, but his fellow students are pretty bad as well, especially Momo. And before Izuku came along, there was Hibiki, who set the original standard of her Quirk backfiring.
- Reincarnation: Her Quirk allows her to awaken the Past-Life Memories of the victim's most recent past life, in exchange for losing the use of one finger for twenty-four hours.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: Ditches the USJ once things go too pear-shaped for her to handle.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: Believes that all life is precious. Considering her Quirk lets her see into the Past-Life Memories of her victims for a brief time, including all the deaths they've experienced (from the darkly funny to the downright horrible) it's easy to see how she got this view.
- Villainous Breakdown: She loses her mind after she realizes she unleashed 'Black Leg' Sanji onto the world. A heroic 'Black Leg' Sanji.
Others
A.I.K.O | Aiko — 'Artificial Intelligence Knows Objectively'
Aiko
- Androids Are People, Too: Thanks to the technological advances the MHA world has in comparison to the MCU, Hibiki had a lot more storage to work with, and thus was able to give Aiko more of a personality in comparison to the likes of J.A.R.V.I.S. and F.R.I.D.A.Y., making Aiko virtually indistinguishable from a regular human.
- Benevolent A.I.: Even snarkier than Tony's past AIs, though unquestionably a force of good.
- Deadpan Snarker: An AI made by the reincarnation of Tony Stark.
- Fountain of Memes: An In-Universe memelord.
- Phrase Catcher: 'Objectively what?'
- Catchphrase: '...That I'm better than you!'
