Now, about the "abilities that i claim he can use that he's never even been hinted at having". I said that he can corrupt the Lifestream, and the name of this is Geostigma. This is in the movie, just watch it.
I said too, that he can use the corrupted Lifestream to directly corrupt the pure one. You said that this isn't stated in the RF. Little Ryu, you know what is the main reason of the RF existence? To explain to us, things that weren't showed or weren't explained in the movie. So, why the hell the RF would explain something, that is already explained in the movie?!
Child, I have been incredibly patient with you. Stop testing me before I lose my patience. Yes, Sephiroth is corrupting the lifestream. He is NOT, as you claimed prevously, using the tainted stream to direct corrupt the untainted. There is also no reason to believe the boy can restrict the use of magic by other people, as you also tried to claim he could.
Sephiroth: "The soul of the dead who carried the Geostigma...
That, and with the Lifestream, controls the flow of the planet.
Eventually it'll corrupt it...
KEY WORD: Eventually. Do you know what eventually means? Over a significant period of time.
What i really want, Cloud...
Is to travel the Darkness of cosmos using this planet as my vessel.
As Mother did before me...
One day we will discover a new world.
We will create the future on that ground."
After this, he summon the corrupted one to cover the sky, and with a wave of his hand(one second before attacking Cloud) "order" the corrupted one, to descend(in form of "tentacles") to destroy everything(because is very obvious that, to transform the planet in a vessel, he have to destroy all life in it first).
Or he's trying to spread more Jenova Cells via the clouds. Or he just thinks they make a nice atmosphere. Can you please show evidence that this IS the lifestream? Especially since all official sources just refer to them as dark clouds? And since they wind up not doing a gorram thing to the ground in any of the incedental shots we do get to see? Or evidence that shows he has such control over the lifestream, when he doesn't even have enough control to create an unfragmented Shinentai?
All of this is very clear. Everyone that i know(that readed the UOG, RF, etc.) agree with me. You are the only one that disagree.
Just because something is 'clear' does not make it so. It is 'clear' to a child that it is the sun that moves around, not the earth, when the reality is the opposite. If you wish to convince people of your claims, then actually provide evidence.
And please, in the future, avoid such blanket statements that "everyone" agrees with you. This very thread- yes, other than me- is proof of the disagreement.
But even if you choosed to ignore the official words of SE, quotes of the movie, logic and common sense, you still can create your own explanation of why Sephiroth is the strongest. Because he is, and this is not a topic of discussion anymore.
No, this isn't about Sephiroth's relative strength compared to other FF7 characters anymore. This is about YOU providing some gorram evidence of the
you've been spouting.
Though where you're applying logic and common sense escapes me. I see lots of wild claims and conclusion jumping though.
