ephiroth: (reading a book) …an organism that was apparently dead, was found in 2000 year old geological stratum. Professor Gast named that organism, Jenova… Year, X Month, X Day. Jenova confirmed to be an Ancient …X Year, X Month, X
Day. Jenova Project approved. The use of Mako Reactor I approved for use… My other's name is Jenova… Jenova Project… Is this just a coincidence? Professor Ga st… Why didn't you tell me anything? …Why did you die?
Short time later...
Sephiroth: Don't you get it? An Ancient named Jenova was found in the geological stratum of 2000 years ago. The Jenova Project. The Jenova Project
wanted to produce people with the powers of the Ancients……no, the Cetra! …I am the one that was produced.
From the lies told him and his own bizarre logic, Sephiroth deduced he was “created” and a test-tube baby. This conveniently severed any ties he had with humanity which he seems to have also fabricated a story for.
Sephiroth: Long ago, disaster struck this planet. Your ancestors escaped… They survived because they hid. The Planet was saved by sacrificing the Cetra. After that, your ancestors continued to increase. Now all that's left of the Cetra is in these reports.
So, Sephiroth’s motives are a righteous hate for humanity. To avenge his “ancestors” and mother, he must kill and “take back” the Planet from humans. He then proceeds to perform his infamous rampage in Nibelheim.
But, isn’t this knowledge invalid? He wasn’t created. He wasn’t a Cetra. The “mother” of his was the real thing that wiped out the Cetra. This is fact. Yet, Sephiroth...
Sephiroth: ...Ah, but I have. I'm far superior to the Ancients. I became a traveler of the Lifestream and gained the knowledge and wisdom of the Ancients.
Sephiroth: HA! You can not win, Cloud!
Cloud: But why are you doing all this with the godhood and stuff?
Sephiroth: What do you mean?
Cloud: Well, you stated that your mother and the Cetra were all killed by my people. And that you would kill us all for our crimes and take the planet “back for mother.” Yet the Ultimania Guide says you take Jenova over. And you yourself say that you gained the knowledge and wisdom of the Ancients. Which I presume would include the fact a large amount of Cetra were killed by your mother who isn’t your mother and is just an alien from space. There’s zero reason for you to be doing any of this.
Sephiroth: Aha. You are quite clever.
Cloud: Not really. It merely takes a cursory glance through the script or actually reading what you say to figure out that your motives are a plot hole and non-existent.
Sephiroth: But now I shall travel the stars like mother!
Cloud: DUDE, haven’t I just told you? The thing you ripped the head off of, charming way to show your affection to mommy dearest by the way, ISN’T your mother at all. Your mother is in a cave on the planet you plan to destroy.
Sephiroth: ....
Cloud: Seriously, you were in a the Lifestream gaining all this power and you call it knowledge. Yet it’s made you completely stupid. Why are you doing any of this? Tell me.
Sephiroth: SILENCE! We shall fight!
Cloud: I’ll beat you for like...the 4th time now.
Sephiroth: AHA! The creators state clearly in the ReunioN Files that I am the most powerful being in all Final Fantasy VII. You have no chance!
*Sephiroth loses*
Sephiroth: Oh snap.
Cloud: While you are in your most powerful incarnation, it also notes that all the uber power is never shown in this movie. Isn’t that convenient.
Sephiroth: I shall not become just a memory!
Cloud: Sadly, you probably won’t become just a memory of a generic villain with even less reason to be a villain than Bowser in Mario. You’ll pop up in yaoi that makes everyone sick and gouge their eyes out when they see it. You’ll appear in other games no one cares about with probably even worse voice-acting than you’ve had in all your appearances. As long as the FFVII Fanboys exist (ie. Square-Enix and all the FFVII creators) there is no hope of sealing the wound and curing the blight you’ve left on good antagonists everywhere.
hysterical
Sephiroth PAWNED!!!
I agree with you, man. Sephiroth is delusional mama's boy and his intention to destroy the planet was ill.
That is why I believe Kuja is a much better developed villain. Especially when at the end he is touched by his brother willing to sacrifice himself inspite of everything Kuja did. Kuja had an actual character development.
FFIX is one of the best FFs IMO. I didn't even finish it(never beat the boss after Kuja) but I still think it perfectly blends the best of the old and new Final Fantasies.
Originally posted by NikkolasWow, I just realized you have no idea what you are talking about. Akuma has to supercharge his fist with ki to bust an island, and since he's slower than Seph and Seph with his sword has a much longer reach, punching him will not be easy.
Of course Akuma can beat Sephiroth.What beat him in AC?
Omnislash.
Omnislash does not equal island-destroying force.
Thus, Akuma punches Sephiroth and wins.

Then he takes the sword and breaks it in half.
Be easy enough for someone as strong as Akuma and nothing says the sword will be resistant to being snapped like a large, alme toothpick.
The grabbing (lol) and breaking of the Masamune argument has been refuted twice.
The Omnislash is far from an ordinary attack. Just because it doesn't devastate an entire area doesn't mean that it's weaker the one of Akuma's punches, and once again it's funny how people overrate Akuma's busting feats by saying he just used a punch to do it when every source that I've read upon stated he used the Kongou Kokuretsuzan, a technique where Akuma channels all of his energy into his hand, as the sources describe. Allow me to list some:

I doubt Akuma would be able to run around while pumping up his fist with energy, not that he's fast enough to run from Sephiroth.
