This is why he created the SHM(who are part of him). To seek Jenova cells, to seek a new physical body for him.
After Kadaj drunk the cells and Sephiroth returned to life, he didn't need the SHM anymore, because they had fulfilled their purpose. After that, the only thing he really needed were the J-cells of his new body, and his Negative Lifestream.Why he never healed from a single wound in battle? He did more than that dude. Sephiroth regenerated his entire body from a few cells in a box. After that, he didn't need to regenerate anymore, because Cloud wasn't able to harm him during the fight(with exception of Omnislash).
If Sephiroth wanted, he could let Kratos rip him apart just for fun, and then regenerates a second later.
He can turn Seph to stone? I didn't knew status-effect worked on Seph? I could swear they didn't.
And the fact Omnislash Version 5 destroyed a guy who could regenerate his whole body in a few seconds, is proof of how powerful the attack really is.
I want to see Kratos do something like that.
1. Right, so he needed Kadaj to drink the cells and Kadaj became Sephiroth. Like what happened in the movie. 🙂
2. Nope, Kadaj drank some cells in a box which made Kadaj Sephiroth. Hell, on-board the airship, they were even saying that Kadaj was the chrysalis who would BECOME Sephiroth. Sephiroth has never healed from any wound. 🙂
3. Gameplay first of all, but I will concede this, he can also just use his many lightning attacks, Seph is not faster than lightning.
4. O RLY? Kadaj transformed into Sephiroth, he didn't regen from some cells in a box, canon supports this. 🙂
The Blade of Olympus, which has only gotten stronger since Kratos obtained it, in one blow defeated the Titans(whose bodies are supposed to be indestructible) and ended the Great Titan War. Kratos defeated Zeus while he was wielding the Blade of Olympus and stole it.
Oh, and before you freak out and say I'm just a Sephiroth hater who wants him to lose, I actually like Sephiroth. I just don't ride his boloni-pony. 🙂
