Sephiroth appreciation thread. Yes really.

[Sephiroth]

You may troll or dislike him if you want to. But then please be accurate with the information.

Dude, it's called a smurfing joke. And the joke works, because Lucrecia was his mother....so, yeah.

The joke does not work, not even a bit. Especially not "because Lucrecia was his mother". Both Lucrecia and JENOVA served the parental cells as well as Hojo's. Lucrecia stated that the JENOVA cells were inside of her, meaning they were in her womb even before Sephiroth existed and not really injected into his body. "But the Jenova inside me did not let me die ...". Jenova was in her body and so in Sephiroth's once Lucrecia's egg was fertilized and not just "injected through hers into Sephiroth's". The "inject cells in fetal state explanation" which was told later was just for easier storytelling (and which was also used for Angeal, e.g) and that people understand it easier. When it comes to official explanations, both are his mothers (or "mother" in case of Jenova; Sephiroth even knows already it is no human/Cetra and still calls her that since it is correct in more than just one way). One is human, the other one, not. Actually not even really female, but still a real parent since the cells were in Lucrecia's womb and Sephiroth was the result of the three fusing. That is what makes him really unique. I don't blame you for not nothing this (how ridiculous that sounds about a videogame) because many don't, especially with the easier explanation nowadays.

It is appropriate for Cloud.

I don't know how much of my post you meant to answer with this line. Please explain. What you said was right, but I don't know what of my post you mean with the appropriate-thing.

EDIT: Ah, you mean my own "appropriate"-part. Well, "just a nothing" is definitely not fitting for Cloud. His power is hidden. Just because he was a blue guard which was not too confident, he was not weak. He just needs the right moment to release that powe because Cloud only fights for what is precious to him. Not only in Advent Children. And as you say, his demonstration of power already showed that he is not a nothing, he was simply underestimated. I call it "nothing" if you have potential but don't use it and Cloud did.
