He asks about Cloud's whereabouts, and although Sora says nothing, Donald and Goofy retort that Cloud realizes that Sephiroth is the manifestation of his darkness. Later, as Sora exits the castle to go help defend against the invasion, Sephiroth appears. Right before the invasion of Hollow Bastion, Cloud warns Sora and company about Sephiroth, and his ways of the darkness. Sephiroth interrupts the gang on their way to stave off the invasion, and inquires about Cloud's whereabouts. Kingdom Hearts II File:Sephiroth Descends 01 KHII.png Sephiroth invites Cloud to turn to the darkness, but Cloud refuses, launching a high-speed aerial battle whose outcome is not seen. As Sora leaves the stadium, Cloud enters. Sephiroth appears within the Platinum Match at Olympus Coliseum, and after a difficult fight, Sora narrowly seizes victory. Sephiroth challenges Sora as the contender for the Platinum Match. Later, after Master Xehanort's defeat, a black feather falls before Zack as he watches Hercules train, hinting at Sephiroth's presence. While Terra is in Olympus Coliseum, Zack reveals that he aspires to become a hero like "another", referring to Sephiroth. Sephiroth is also one of only two characters who did not reappear in their Advent Children attire, the other being Cid.Īppearances Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Also in both games, Sephiroth carries his iconic weapon, the Masamune (which is a katana with a massive length but thin width, making the sword resemble a Nodachi), as his weapon. In Kingdom Hearts II, he gains two more wings of the same color sprouting from either of his hips. In both games, Sephiroth sports a large, navy blue wing on his right shoulder, a design feature that has carried over to several characters associated with Jenova in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. He wears a silver pauldron over each shoulder, both of which closely resemble the pauldrons he wears in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII series. He wears black pants and knee-high boots of the same color, with two grey belts wrapped around each boot. Sephiroth's chest is exposed, showing that he wears some sort of grey strap around his abdomen with two black belts over it, as well as two brown, overall-esque straps that intersect over his chest. This similarity would explain Sephiroth's difference in eye color from his original incarnation. Sephiroth's face looks strikingly like Cloud's, which is something that Goofy comments on in Kingdom Hearts II. For some reason there is an odd, black and red, fin-like growth on his right forearm. The sleeves of his coat end in metal rings in place of normal cuffs, and he wears black leather gloves. In Kingdom Hearts, Sephiroth also has regular blue eyes, unlike the green, catlike eyes he and his Remnants have in the main series. It is also noticeably more tattered in the Kingdom Hearts games. Unlike in the Final Fantasy games, Sephiroth's coat has red-violet lining in the front. The coat has a large collar that reaches his ears even when folded back and is kept closed by a black belt with a silver buckle around his waist. He has his distinctive long, silver hair with long bangs that frame his face, and dresses in a black leather coat. Sephiroth's appearance in both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II is largely the same as his appearance in the various games of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, though with a few significant differences. However, he is not as arrogant as others who had fallen to the darkness, such as Maleficent and Jafar, but gauges his opponents and admits their skill when they prove it, as he does at the end of his battle with Sora in Kingdom Hearts II. Sephiroth is incredibly powerful, both physically and mentally, and is convinced that his power surpasses that of anyone else. Almost emotionless, he never overreacts to anything. Like many Final Fantasy characters, Sephiroth displays stoic personality traits, coupled with an almost monotone voice. He is taciturn and focused, determined to draw Cloud down the path of darkness. Sephiroth is cold, calculating, and ruthless, though not entirely uncaring. Sephiroth is the first Final Fantasy villain so far to appear in the Kingdom Hearts series. He, along with Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Yuffie, Zack, and Cid, originate from the Square Enix game Final Fantasy VII, where he served as the main antagonist. Sephiroth is the embodiment of Cloud's darkness. 2.4 The Chipmunks and the Chipettes Join the Disney Family.
