Every Sephiroth's Iconic Masamune Stab 【1997-2020】 Final Fantasy 7/Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

[@diotheworld8671]

I love how Sephiroth was actually smart in Advent Children and didn’t just stand there and block or take the hit, rather he took advantage of the situation and stabbed Cloud.

[@richarddiaz1845]

Rated M for mature

[@xaiano794]

He was always toying with cloud, it's like he wanted cloud to get stronger, he wanted a challenge.

After all that practice he misses Mario

[@angelsartandgaming]

I don't think he missed. Either it was a warning like "Do not mess with me" or felt Mario was insignificant enough for the Masamune to even stab him. After all, the other fighters are just getting in the way, Cloud is the true target.

[@NanashiAkai]

Me when impaled Cloud starts lifting Sephiroth: "Let go of the sword!"

[@DoctorPorkenfries]

My thought was that at that point, due to his previous impalement, he was heavily weakened and felt he would be in danger without his sword, so he tried to hold onto it and regain control of the situation until it was too late.

[@BeretBay]

Swordsman don't let go of their swords until they die...or is that just Samurai?

[@JimRaynorRaider]

tbh, i still say the og version of that scene holds up better. sephiroth is in shock as he gets lifted up by a nobody grunt and it happens in 5 seconds too. final order and the crisis version are stupid

[@edsbegaming507]

Oh wow, That’s funny I didn’t even think of that

[@TheCapitalLetterM]

@@JimRaynorRaider Final order and crisis core show more detail and emotion though beyond low poly cutscenes and text boxes. Don't dis the two because they do something different.

[@MariusBoss11458]

Just like Cloud in Remake when Rufus shot him down.

[@moondoor9031]

I was reading some things about Sephiroth's development and it said that the developers of his design in ADC wanted to see Sephiroth with a sense of "alure and charm" and a face you will "never see in real life". I think that made this the core standard for Sephiroth design ever since... They improved his face in the Remake and Sephiroth does looks like someone so different from the main world and story of FF VII. He have some presence of an Angel and a Demon at the same time... he's avery intimidating character.

[@matthewosterman9030]

Very memorable. They made someone edgier than cloud so it was bound to be striking

@@agentdon1760 Yep! It was included in the home release of the DVD special edition of the original Advent Children (this edition was in a box and had the script for Advent Children). Sadly the Blu-Ray of Advent Children Complete doesn't include it. It's not considered canon though as some of the scenes within the OVA contradict both FFVII and Crisis Core, but it's a fun watch. KZbin probably has it somewhere to watch.

It's perfectly logical why Aerith dies to one stab and Cloud survives several stabs.
