Jenova cells/Nanaki

[Sephitachi7]

but maybe he was not affected by Geostigma because he's not human.

[TheAbominatrix]

Geostigma effects the cells, there's no reason why it wouldnt effect Red.

Grasping at straws by continually saying "Well, Red isnt human so it must have effected him differently" doesnt make sense. There's NO evidence that Red was injected with JENOVA cells.

(SPOILER)Geostigma is contracted from contact with the lifestream and jenova ceel mixture, remember when meteor, holy and lifestream collided? maybessome jenova cells were scattred into the lifestream residue

If Hojo tattoed a number on all experiments, and not only those that were injected with Jenova cells, then why was Aeris not tatooed with a number if she was also a specimen. And what exactly is the proof from Advent Children that he was not injected?

Think about how long he had Aeris in his custody. A few hours at best? I think he was a little more interested in finishing his experiment before any potential trouble arrived rather than spending time giving her a tatoo.

Proof would be that because Nanaki didn't get Geostigma, he didn't have Jenova cells in him. The fact that nothing called him to the Reunion is FFVII is also proof.

You are implying that Hojo was expecting Aeris to be rescued and this is why he didn't label her with a tatoo, which is not the case. I believe that Hojo did not think that anyone could break into the Shin-ra building and was not expecting it. So I think he would have carried out the experiment on Aeris like a normal procedure, thus giving her a tatto to identify her. This was not the case meaning that the numbers were probably to identify Jenova Cell injected specimen.

As for the AC comment if all characters that came in contact with Lifestream got Geostigma, how come Tifa, who was in the Lifestream with Cloud, didn't get Geostigma?

The Lifestream was only infected after Cloud killed Sephiroth at the end of FF VII. Tifa was in the stream before then, so she remained uninfected.

True, but he still had much more interest in studying than giving her a tatoo. Besides, Cloud was implanted with jenova cells, yet he never recieved a tatoo because no one ever got around to it. (No, it isn't because he was a failed experiment. Read the notes in the ShinRa Mansion library to find out that he was actually sucessful.)

Hmm... true...
