This isn't quite right either. Near the end Kuja was completely blinded by rage. That is the only reason he was able to enter trance at all. The only time people enter trance in FF9 is when protecting someone or very angry. Kuja was NOT protecting anyone. He attempted to blow up the world just because he doesn't want to face his own mortality. How would it help him at all? Certainly rage and not intelligence.
Also how could he have not known before Garland told him he was mortal. It should have been obvious to anyone with a clue. He killed countless other genomes proving they weren't immortal and knew Zidane wasn't either and Zidane was stronger according to Garland. Lets not forget either that his ultimate death trap in his own fortress was stopped by a pathetic frog. Sure the frog at one point was human but his mind was falling apart and with all the power Kuja had he would have to be stupid to let it happen. Kuja also let Garland play him like a fiddle for most of the story line.
Kuja was still a good villain in my opinion but he certainly wasn't smart and he gave in to rage just like everyone else. Certainly alot better then whatever the thing at the end was.
