Moana 2 sees Maui lose his powers and tattoos for a significant portion of the runtime. This has intrigued many fans, who wish to learn how it happens. Additionally, they also want to know if he gets his powers back by the time the film concludes.
Here are all the questions answered.
How does Maui lose his tattoos and powers in Moana 2?
Maui does end up losing his powers and tattoos temporarily in Moana 2 and returns to his human form because of Nalo, who robs them.
It is eventually revealed that Maui was a human, whom his parents abandoned following his birth. He was saved by the gods of the Moana universe and imbued with the powers of a demigod by them.
Maui’s tattoos signify his demigod status. Once Moana becomes a demigod herself at the end of the film, she also gains tattoos similar to his.
Does Maui get his powers back in Moana 2?
Yes, Maui gets his powers and tattoos back in Moana 2.
This is thanks to Moana, who uses her ancestors’ powers to return it back to him. Once Maui regains his powers, both the protagonists defeat Nalo. Maui later also raises the island of Motufetu and connects the people and the ocean.
Maui getting his powers back at the end of the film also reveals something significant about Nalo. The evil storm god is not as powerful as other people make him out to be and his curses or the effects of his power-stripping abilities can be reversed.
Moana 2 is directed by Dana Ledoux Miller, Jason Hand, and David G. Derrick Jr. Miller additionally contributed to the screenplay alongside Jared Bush. Auliʻi Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Hualalai Chung, Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Awhimai Fraser, Temuera Morrison, and Nicole Scherzinger make up the film’s principal voice cast.
