Fighting your own creator is a little disconcerting, maybe. In this game's case, Zidane's going against his own creator: Garland of Terra. His goal was to destroy life on Gaia as to make the planet suitable for assimilation. Through that, he used two 'weapons': Kuja (which aparently gained self awareness and seeked to rule it), and Zidane (who was built to stop Kuja and continue with the mission).
Strange though. Kuja spoke once after the Alexandria Incident that Garland's power was so extreme it can't even be compared to his own. And yet he had the power to capture and torture Zidane and his friends almost without effort, it looks like. How can Kuja, a man of great schemes, toy with somebody stronger than he (in this case, Zidane) and still fear Garland? Is it simply because of power?
I can imagine that Garland would never create a model intent on becoming more powerful than he. He could capture and affect Zidane in ways we probably thought was bizzare and amazing. But then, if he was so powerful, couldn't he have destroyed Kuja himself? Perhaps I'm missing a piece of information though.
But imagine this: Kuja said that he let Zidane do the dirty work for him, which was to weaken Garland...enough for Kuja to actually kick him off the platform. But imagine a different scenario: Kuja would have killed Zidane and his party a long time ago, and when the two planets met, so would Kuja and Garland. Do you think Kuja could have won? Certainly a man of his cunning could foil Garland...couldn't he? What are your takes?
