btw, is it just me, or was there alot of turk-abuse towards Rude?
Heh. Rude did seem to have bad luck in this one. He got hit in the nose by Reno's rod, a sign fell on him, Reno crushed a pair of his sunglasses, Reno fell on him...poor guy.

On topic, there is a theory that Rufus survived the explosion in his office because he was possibly exposed to Mako, giving him extra stength and stamina. Sounds weird? Well, I'm not much of a theory guy myself but it does make a lot of sense. The theory is on the VII Ultimania guide on IGN. I can't get the link now but tommorow I can if anyone is interested. Basically, the logic that he's been exposed to mako is due to his intense green eyes, very much like Cloud's. As we know, any SOLDIER was distinguished by the intense green eyes he/she had.
