I will probalbly start taking The Crystal more seriously when they learn that Defeat and Defeated has only one F not two.

But anyway my views are that he is not a God. He is more powerful than a regular human being but not a God. To me he is just an entity that has no real form but he can use his power to create a physical form to bestow a portion of his powers to for a limited time. Otherwise if he had of used his full power then he could have just sent Zidane and the crew straight to the Ozone and said "Oh look I guess they weren't strong enough after all." But that is just my opinion so I don't care if people don't think that. Also if it is a little difficult to understand then sorry but it was kinda difficult to put into words.
