The biggest takeaway that I think is interesting about Young Sephiroth is that it also indirectly gives some more weight to just how terrifying Jenova is, too. In the Kalm flashback Sephiroth mentions that she has 'superior magic' and so Sephiroth in this scene casting Fire 3 right out of the gate really puts it in perspective that he didn't grow into his power -- he was always a bit of a monster and only as an adult figured out why.

​@@TheGlo0m To be fair, Cloud has only fought him twice. Once in the Northern Cave, when he was arguably at his weakest since he had been beaten up by the whole gang in his two previous forms, with Cloud most likely getting a little push from the Lifestream to end it for good. Second time is in Advent Children where Sephiroth is likely not back at full power, since he's only "grown" back from Kadaj fusing with Jenova. And there again, it could be argued that the Lifestream helped Cloud a little bit with Aerith curing his Geostigma in the Church then with Zack giving him a talk before the final Omnislash Type.5. As for the Sephiroth we see at the end of Remake... I'd rather not talk about that shitfest of an ending. But we could argue it's just Jenova doing what she does best during the events of FF7.

What i love about Sephiroth as a character is that he has never been shown to struggle in battle. Even though he has been defeated,he was ALWAYS winning prior. It really gives a sense of invincibility to him.

This scene adds so much depth to the story on so many levels. Further emphasizing the simmilarities between Shinra and some real life governments waging wars on foreign countries and sending soldiers to their assured death, Sephiroth is displayed here as the weapon of mass destruction he was always supposed to be. An unstoppable force, trully a monster, the perfect soldier. He really was a chemical weapon built on a lab. This scene portrays him as heroic to the poor soldiers who were in this position, but the undertones of how incredibly dangerous he could become if he realized what he could do are clearly there. But this also paints a much more tragic vision of Sephiroth. He was used as a weapon as such a young age, he seems proud on killing things so effortlessly, showing how Shinra taught him to find value on killing. When he turns around and looks at his comrades and we get our first glance at his face we see those snake-like eyes and that sharp smile. He is not human, not trully. He's never been. But they lied to him in order to use him. The white feathers at the start also remind me of Griffith, from Berserk, a character that shares many simmilarities with Sephiroth in terms of concept and aesthetics. But it's also hinting us towards his path. From an angel descended from heaven to save those in need, to a heartless angel bound to destroy creation.

@@wilykat There are a ton of similarities between Vader and Sephiroth! If Final Fantasy VII hadn't released two years before the prequel trilogy, I'd believe that Sephiroth's backstory was directly inspired by Vader's. It's not like there aren't Star Wars references in VII already. They're both fallen angel-type characters, great warriors who betrayed the organisations they worked for (the Jedi, Shinra), slaughtered a bunch of innocents (Nibelheim, the younglings), and then were defeated by people less skilled than them due to their arrogance (Obi-wan, Cloud.) Anakin fell into a lava pit, Sephiroth into the Lifestream. Both "died" in a sense and were "reborn" afterwards, weaker and stronger than before. Vader was physically scarred from his duel on Mustafar and lost some of his Force potential, but his iron suit made him more deadly and terrifying. Sephiroth perished in the reactor but was able to influence events in the world as a lingering spirit in the Lifestream. Both serve masters more powerful than they are (Palpatine, Jenova) and have a strange obsession with their mothers. (Anakin's love for his mother was a major factor in his downfall.) Both were created through unnatural means (it's implied that Anakin was created by Sidious through the Force, whereas Sephiroth was created via the Jenova Project), and neither had a relationship with their father growing up. Sephiroth didn't know that Hojo was his father, and Anakin probably never figured out that Sidious or Plagueis was his father. They're both tall, imposing and like to dress in black leather. The differences are that Sephiroth never has a romantic relationship (or, indeed, a relationship of any kind, apart from his friendship with Zack), and doesn't try to overthrow Jenova or redeem himself at the end. Although who knows, the Remake project could well be heading in that direction. [EDIT: Oh, and they both have legendary theme tunes.]

Just in case anyone doubted or underestimated Sephiroths speed. He sliced a missile point blank less than half way through its trajectory.

Nothing beats the serious elegance of the golden inlay around the emerald green of a Materia crystal blade. Its certain death if the user knows what he's doing. A weapon like that is no joke.

Which begs the question, did hojo's experiments to make cloud equal to sephiroth change his physical appearance too?

Imagined being witness to such power, whether you are protected or not, such a sight in actuality would be positively terrifying! I love this scene because it highlights so much: the shear awe Sephiroth inspired, the mismanagement of science, and at it's heart the morality questions flying all over! Is it any wonder Sephiroth chose the fate he did? Is any wonder that he becamed so feared even before the revelations were made?! Mind boggling and such fantastic writing! FF7 story is one of the best in the world. It really is.

Even when he was young, he was a force to reckoned with.

In other words, Sephiroth has never gotten a haircut.

@WorldOfLimbo Because the writers confirmed he always holds back after the nibelheim incident. As you can see here when he was a kid, he went for the kill as fast as possible since he wasn't particularly a bad person nor evil. After he loses his mind, he starts toying with everyone, making them suffer as much as possible for as long as possible. He enjoys seeing people crumble and kneel before him because he becomes an awful evil person after discovering he is not entirely human, and that overconfidence is his downfall multiple times. He is so nonchalant that it always gets him killed in the end, but if he went for the kill as fast as he did when he was a kid he could speedblitz the whole ff7 party without even trying.

Wish they would have shown young Angeal and Genesis.

I can see why people look up to sephiroth and regards him as hero prior to FFVII Sephiroth. He looks cool af here. His short haired version makes him look a lot like any protagonist in an anime/game.

you call that a versus? I call that a slaughter XD

This scene is impressive, and great at showing just how powerful Sephiroth is, even at a young age. But it also has a dark side. Sephiroth is only fourteen years old in this clip. He’s a child who has been sent out to war to commit genocide.
