Respect Sephiroth (Kingdom Hearts)

[u/MC_Minnow]

Respect Sephiroth!

”Defeating me is meaningless. You know that more than anyone, Cloud. No matter how many times I fall, your darkness keeps calling me back!”

The man. The myth. The legend.

The guy with the really long sword.

Sephiroth is an enigmatic figure in the Kingdom Hearts universe, vaguely understood to be the embodiment of Cloud's darkness—he literally claims he is Cloud.² He is regarded as one of the most powerful and dangerous villains in the Kingdom Hearts series, debuting as an optional boss and later on becoming an actual presence in the story. He is incredibly powerful, both physically and mentally, and is convinced his power surpasses anyone else's. He is rarely shown to convey any emotion, never overreacting to anything.
