"How did he survive?" joke game (spoilers)
I don't remember if it was a video or a picture, but it was something that had Cloud saying to Rufus, "But you died! Your whole office exploded!" or something like that, and then Rufus responding, "I dodged." That was quite funny. Anyway, the purpose of this thread is to create some humoristic explanations to how Rufus is still alive in FFVII AC.

I think this topic should also include explanations for how Cloud survived a direct shot to the face.
The Rufus you see throughout the game isn't actually Rufus. It's a doll controlled by the real Rufus who is a homeless man in Sector 3.

I guess he had a mocking muffler, KE, Safety Wall and fire resist armor?

Rufus can do Great Gospel.
The bullet was afraid to touch him and moved out of the way(chuck norris joke)
None of the bullets used by anyone in FFVII/AC seem to be projectile pieces of metal, they're probably just "things" that reduce HP.
After all, it's not like the guns ever need to be filled with ammo.

Damn right, it's better than yours!
I could Heal you, but I have to charge.
Rufus was too hawt to die!Sorry, I have a thing for redheads...
And as for Cloud surviving the bullets... rubber bullets

That's part of the White Lies false subtitles that came out about a week after the movie came out in Japan and was subsequently spread across the interwebs.
Incidentally, it also involves a conversation between Cloud and spoiler?Sephiroth about tea and lemon scones.
He's not a natural blonde. Rufus did die in the ShinRa building. Spiritually...Rufus is blonde.Rufus was too hawt to die!
He survived by sheltering himself within the large remains of his father which he never bothered to have removed from his office.
Cloud's sunglasses come equipped with the Protect spell always in place.
At the exact moment when the trigger was pulled, Cloud was driving in front of a plot hole. The bullet went into the plot hole and was never seen again. At that exact moment, Cloud bumped into the other side of said plot hole (the bottom, which of course is solid), knocking his glasses off. Also, a three-bullet burst from a high-calibur assault rifle only deals four points of damage in FF7, so a single shot from a semi-automatic pistol (when it's not flying into a floating plot hole) will do even less.
As for Rufus surviving? Phoenix Down. He was only caught in an explosion, not stabbed with an obscenely large sword like Aeris: As we see in battle, grenades do 120 damage while Sephiroth's sword deals over 3000. Outside of battle, the proportional damage is pretty much the same. Keep in mind also that Rufus was hit by Diamond Flash, an attack that reduces the victim's HP by a percentage and induces Silence, so either way, he couldn't have died.

That last comment was probably the best explanation I've ever seen to why Rufus survived.
