The Aqua Blaster Blade[1] is a tool used by Toa Mahri Nuparu. It was transformed from the Laser Drill and his Claws into its current form by the Ignika. The weapon can be used to channel Nuparu's Earth powers and can blast shockwaves at his opponents.

Example Usage

In Downfall, Nuparu used the blade to blast shockwaves against Gadunka.

Trivia

  • According to Greg Farshtey, Nuparu wields the Aqua Blaster Blade in-story because it was based on the Nuparu Mahri prototype.[2]
    • However, according to Brian Ellis, the designer of 8913 Toa Nuparu, the Razor-Edged Protosteel Shield was intended to be a double-bladed, asymmetrical sword, but because of the cost limitations and the fact that it was a large piece, it had to be doubled, and the asymmetrical nature was cut. The central hub of the blade/sword would have absorbed energy and then released it as a blast.[3] Based on that description, it can be assumed that Greg Farshtey probably based the Aqua Blaster Blade on that function, and he was never told that it belonged to the shield and not a separate, cut weapon.
  • The BIONICLE fan magazine KanohiJournal hosted a building contest approved by Greg Farshtey to design the Aqua Blaster Blade. The winning design, created by BZPower and BIONICLEsector01 member Essenger (known at the time as Terakk), became the tool's official representation.
