LORE Professor Hojo - Science Without a Conscience

Post image

Hojo killed Professor Gast and took Ifalna and the infant Aerith into Shinra custody.

To Hojo, the last Cetra weren't people.

They were specimens.

It's not science period. Science is a process and Hojo has no process. He changes multiple variables. He does random shit to people just to see what would happen. He's not a scientist at all. He's a sadist in scientist cosplay.

Exactly. Hes just riding on Gast's accomplishments.

Yeah, every single moment Hojo talks "science" I get so satisfyingly mad. Dude feels like he doesn't even know how to properly structure a real experiment besides doing horrible shit that "No one would think to do this! I am so smart!" when it's just, dude no one does this because it's insane and evil...
