is tamaru the left hand or not . im asking this because in the mnog1 he just came with you ( since the turga and kongu and all the other le-korans were fighting ) so is he or is he not the left hand of le-koro

Lets check Bionicle.com first. Now go to the Matoran Bios and now Tamaru. No, it says nothing about left or right hand of Matatu.. Now lets look at Kongu.. It says nothing about left or right hand there too. But it DOES say that Kongu is Kaptain of Le-Koro.


-B-

so mabey niether kongu or tamaru are the left or right hands ( i definatly think kongu is the right but i didnt right the storyline so i cant be sure )

I thought it said something in the Mnolg about him being the left hand. I might be wrong though.

tamaru is just kongus friend...i think.somebody has to be a left hand....very good question.

Well, I think his left-handedness is somewhat recent, seeing as how he helped win against the Nuhvok. This would be a good question for GregF.

I have no idea, I agree with Kopeke - let's ask GregF. I think it would be logical for Kongu to be the left hand of Matau, but I have no idea about Tamaru.

Well, the only one ever being mentioned as a right hand was Kapura, and perhaps Jaller. Yeah, this is a good question fer Greg, so let's not say anything for sure at the moment, K?

Ok I made a chart.....
LE-KORO: KONGU AND TAMARU

GA-KORO: MAKU and KOTU

KO-KORO: MATORO and ?

TA-KORO: JALLER AND TAKUA

ONU-KORO: ONEPU AND TAIPU

PO-KORO: HUKI AND HAFU

This is a chart of the 2 Matoran that are in charge of it's village.

hey umm wolverine i made a more updated list oh and takua isnt left or right hand of ta-koro here is my list

ta-koro : right : jaller left : kapura
ga-koro : right : mackew left : kotu
po-koro : right : hewkii left : hafu
ko-koro : right : matoro left : kopeke
onu-koro : right : onepu left : taipu
le-koro : right : ? left : ?
ps i asked greg sadly he isnt online at the moment

As I see it, the Chronicler's company was made up of the left hand matoran except for maku and Tamaru. Maku was right hand, and Tamaru was the reject that takua had to take cause there were no other Le-korans about. But then Tamaru proved himself worthy of being a good Matoran.
But if Kongu isn't the right hand, then maybe Matau is just too lazy to apoint right and left hands, so he just lets them all be sort of equal- except Kongu the almighty Kaptain.

moving to S&T...

okay greg answered me he said this " I don't really know " so its anyones guess until someone can tell us

Its Matoro and Kopeke.

Just telling you becuase you didn't seem to put Kopeke.

After all they have done I think they are right and left hand. Tamaru went with the chronicler, that is special

yeah but there is no proof of them being left or right hands ( although i think they should be )

At that time I think Maku was the left hand (right is more important than left) and Kotu was right hand, but after Maku's exploits she became right hand.
On Tamaru and Kongu, Kongu is right and Tamaru is left. No doubt about it.

If Matoran stress unity, then why would the Turaga choose superiors? Does the right or left hand really mean anything? Is "left hand" even a used phrase? What's up? "Right hand" simply denotes that one is a close assistant or friend of another, so there isn't necessarily a certain one for each village. Probably just something used in an update figuratively. Some just naturally seem to take on leadership positions.

it means that the left or right hands ( on occasion both ) take charge while the turga are away , they are also respected more than other matoran , and i think the turga chooses them becausethey are good leaders ( anouther thing may be that they take a dimocratic choosing or in otherwords they elect and vote)

Right, I just meant that the phrase or title means little.
Also, there is little need for democracy on Mata Nui. Winston Churchill once said, "Democracy is the worst form of government besides all the other forms of government." That is to say, government at its best is dysfunctional. The Turaga have the final say, and the Matoran trust thier wisdom. If they leave someone in charge, they see leadership skills in them, and they trust that things will be done. The Turaga don't always bestow official titles, though. "Right hand" is probably just a human description.

Maybe Le-Koro has no left or right hand

Maybe Le-Koro has no left or right hand

im pretty sure le-koro has a left and right hand , im just not sure who is the left and right hands are

Tamaru is the left hand of Turaga Matau. I mean who else could it be? and in MNOLG 1 it says that I must gather company of the left and right hands of the Turaga. Then I go to Le-Koro and I can't get Kongu (the right hand) so I have to take Tamaru which means he is the left hand.

Now, let's look at the facts: In each village there are 2 important villagers, right and left hands of each Turaga. Now Lego would keep things in order, so yes, Tamaru is Matau's left hand, AND he is the expert "high-flying vines-man."
Hope that helps!

heres a chart
le koro right/kongu left/tamru
kokoro right/mataro left/kopeke
gakoro right/maku left/kotu
takoro right/jaller left/kapura
onukoro right/onup left/taipu
pokoro right/huki left/hafu
i think tamru is a left hand for my own resons
off topic takua wasent ment to take the left hand he only took them since tamru was the only one dowm matro had to translate for nuji jala had to lead the guard onup had lead the ursuly and huki was still recovering from desies

I guess that Tamaru is the left hand for a few special reasons:

He's a good navigator(maybe we get to buy a map of Le-Koro from him in the MNOLG II).
He helped in the battle of Kini-Nui
He helped in freeing the Kranaed villagers and Turaga of Le-Koro.
Kongu is in charge of the village air defense,that's a high position so he is the right hand.
Vakama said to Takua to round up the right and left hand os the six villages.Takua must have guessed that Tamaru is the left hand in Le-Koro.
Or Tamaru got the position after the Kini-Nui Battle,or the Freeing of Le-Koro.

That's all.

-Master Lei

In MNOLG2 it calls macku and Kotu umm assistants I thought, assistants or attendants, can't remember, But I think that The turaga apoint learders amoung the people so that they can take charge when there gone, as seen in both online , Kongu took charge (it seemed) and Macku and kotu took charge. Thats what there thier for but now do they acctually use Left and Right anymore? Cause it called Macku and Kotu Attendants. No Body Knows!

( I it when you ask questions that can't be answered! Then I think about them all day!)

In the original matoran bios, it said the original McDonalds matoran were the right hands, or the assistants of the turaga. There were only 6 other named matoran in mnolg1 (Kotu, Hafu, Taipu, Tamaru, Kapura, Kopeke), so that makes me think they're the left hands. and BTW, the "hands" aren't necessarily leaders of the koros, they just seem to be assistants to the turaga. The term "hand" comes from where they stand at the Takara. They stand next to the turaga to represent the village.

Though we don't actually know, I think we are to assume that Tamaru is the left hand of Matau. The only right/left hands that we actually know are

Ta-Koro: Jaller (right) and Kapura (left)

Ko-Koro: Matoro (I think I remember seeing this somewhere, anyway, Matoro would make a good choice as he can translate Nuji's wisdom).

Onu-Koro: Onepu (Well Jaller is the captain to the guard so maybe Onepu being the captain of the Ussalry would make sense).

Le-Koro: Kongu (Same reason as Onepu, captain of the kahu force).

There you go.

actually the mcdonalds matoran did say they were right hands so this is the for sure list ( and bladeliger11 we do know more of the hands than that )

ta-koro : jaller :right kupura :left
onu-koro : onepu :right taipu :left
le-koro : kongu : right left ??? ( tamaru ?)
ga-koro: macku : right kotu : left
po-koro : hewkii : right hafu : left
ko-koro : matoro : right kopeke : left
i think i got them all ( the reason i put tamaru in ? was that its not definate that he is left hand and thats what this topic is about )

Tamaru must be the left hand of Matau.What other Lr-Matoran do we know of tha has a name?There.Proof.

thats not proof , so what we know tamarus name it doesnt mean hes the left hand , someone earlier in this topic said takua was the left hand of ta-koro ( no offence to that person ) but its kapura so knowing a name doesnt mean a thing ( like i know who michal jordan is but he isnt the president because of that )

Kongu seems to have the most imporant job, whereas Tamaru mainly supported him behind. I think Tamaru is left-hand, and Kongu is right-hand.

It makes sense to me, as Kongu seems a little more able at 'right hand' things than Tamaru is.

I'm supprised to see to of my Scavenger Hunt players post in this topic( Bionicle Hunter & Bladeliger.).

Anyways, its like this:

Le-Koro: Right: Kongu Left: Tamuru
Ga-Koro: Right: Macku Left: Kotu Third: Either Marka or Pelegia becuase they're both good with boats. Probably Marka.
Ta-Koro: Right: Jala Left: Takua Third: Kapura
Ko-Koro: Right: Matoro Left: Kopeke
Onu-Koro: Right: Onepu Left: Taipu Third: Nuparu
Po-Koro: Right: Huki Left: Hafu

umm georgua nuva i made the topic ... just to let you know
