'''Sephiroth''' is the embodiment of [[Cloud]]'s dark side. He is regarded as one of the most powerful villains in the [[Kingdom Hearts series|''Kingdom Hearts'' series]] (though he is only an option to duel in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and is concerned only with Cloud in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''). It is recommended that Sora be at a relatively high level in order to survive Sephiroth's attacks.

{{Q|Absurd. Defeating me is meaningless. You know that more than anyone, Cloud. No matter how many times I fall, your darkness keeps calling me back!|Sephiroth to Cloud}}
'''Sephiroth''' is a mysterious swordsman with a connection to [[Cloud]]'s past. Cloud considers Sephiroth a representation of his own inner darkness. He, along with Cloud, [[Tifa]], [[Aerith]], [[Yuffie]], [[Zack]], and [[Cid]], originates from the Squaresoft game ''{{ff|Final Fantasy VII}}'', where he serves as the {{ff|Sephiroth|main antagonist}}. So far, Sephiroth is the only main antagonist from the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise to appear in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series.
==Development==
Sephiroth originally appeared as an optional boss in the international version of ''Kingdom Hearts'', and was retained for the ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' version of the game, which also added a short scene between him and Cloud. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', his role was greatly expanded, giving him a short side-story featuring him, Cloud, and Tifa.{{fact}}<!--there should be a cite about this in one of the Nomura interviews; explain more about the side story, like why they did it, what the purpose is, basically whatever Nomura said.-->


==Story==
He - along with Cloud, [[Tifa]], [[Aerith]], [[Yuffie]], [[Zack]], and [[Cid]] - come originally from the Square Enix game ''[[finalfantasy:Sephiroth |Final Fantasy VII]]''.

<!--in-universe, state what happened and leave implications to the reader


In the cinematic for Quest No. 333, "The Final Trial Pt. 8," a black feather falls in Cloud's hands at the Underworld Caverns: Depths. It's implied that Cloud is searching for Sephiroth, explaining why he willingly went to the Underworld and escaped as soon as he gathered the feather.

While Terra is in Olympus Coliseum, Zack reveals that he aspires to become a hero like "another," referring to Sephiroth.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer''': "Who is the hero "similar to Terra" that Zack aspires to be like?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "As in the original game, it's Sephiroth. In ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Sephiroth was portrayed as a being of darkness, but at the time of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', we don't know whether or not he was a being of darkness."

[[File:One-Winged Angel 01 KH.png|thumb|left|Sephiroth challenges Sora as the contender for the Platinum Match.]]
===''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''===
Needing to find Sephiroth, [[Cloud]] decides to ally with [[Hades]]. Hades promises to locate Sephiroth in exchange for Cloud defeating Hercules in a tournament, with no intention of honoring his agreement.{{fact}}
During the Platinum Match at [[Olympus Coliseum]], Sephiroth appears and fights Sora. He is a secret boss available in all but the regular Japanese version. After having been defeated by Sora, Cloud finally meets Sephiroth. In silence, Sephiroth implores Cloud to turn to the darkness, which Cloud refuses. The two engage in a high-speed battle in the air, the outcome of which is unknown (however, this is only in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''. In the original, it is never shown that Sephiroth and Cloud ever meet, or that Cloud is even aware Sephiroth is a challenger in the Coliseum).
 
===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===


Sephiroth appears during the [[Platinum Match]] at Olympus Coliseum, and after a difficult fight, Sora narrowly seizes victory. As Sora leaves the stadium, Cloud enters. Sephiroth invites Cloud to turn to the darkness, but Cloud refuses, launching into a high-speed aerial battle whose outcome is left unobserved.
Right before the invasion of [[Hollow Bastion]], Cloud warns Sora and company about Sephiroth, and his ways of the darkness. Later, as Sora exits the castle to go help defend against the invasion, Sephiroth appears. He asks about Cloud's whereabouts, but Sora doesn't answer, though he and his friends reveal that Cloud realizes that Sephiroth is the manifestation of Cloud's darkness. Seeing that Cloud is becoming enlightened and desires to fight him, Sephiroth takes his leave.
{{-}}


===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
During the battle, Cloud is surrounded by [[Heartless]], but Sephiroth intervenes, defeating them all in one swipe. Cloud intends to defeat his nemesis to escape the darkness, but Sephiroth only replies that Cloud will never be able to do so, and will always cower in the light. Cloud vehemently denies his dark half's claims, but Sephiroth is undeterred, and leaves just as Tifa arrives.

Right before the invasion of Hollow Bastion, Cloud warns Sora and company about Sephiroth, and his ways of the darkness. Later, as Sora exits the castle to help defend against the invasion, Sephiroth appears. He asks about Cloud's whereabouts, and although Sora says nothing, Donald and Goofy retort that Cloud recognizes Sephiroth to be the manifestation of his own darkness. Seeing that Cloud is becoming enlightened and desiring to fight him, Sephiroth takes his leave.

Cloud vehemently denies his dark counterpart's claims, but Sephiroth is undeterred, and leaves just as Tifa arrives.
After the [[Master Control Program]] is defeated, Sora encounters Sephiroth at the [[Dark Depths]]. The villain again asks about Cloud, but Sora and his companions don't reveal anything. He then inquires about Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]]'s identities, but again, they refuse to answer. Sephiroth then notices Sora's [[Keyblade]], and attacks, intending to test Sora's power and that of the Keyblade. Sora appears to overcome him, but Sephiroth just shrugs off the battle. Sephiroth complements Sora on his skill with the Keyblade but says that Cloud is the only one that can "''eliminate him''". Sephiroth then tells Sora to find Cloud so that they can settle their feud.


[[File:Conclusion 03 KHII.png|thumb|left|Sephiroth battles Cloud while tempting him to embrace his inner darkness.]]
Cloud arrives later, and a battle begins, with Sephiroth desiring to draw Cloud into the darkness. However, Tifa protects Cloud, saying that Cloud does have light in him, and that, even if he doesn't, then he just needs to be surrounded by light. Nevertheless, Sephiroth and Cloud start off for another battle, and after Tifa's intervention, Cloud glows in light, surprising Sephiroth and letting his guard down. The two disappear in a brilliant flash of light. Their location and status are unknown.
After the [[Master Control Program]] is defeated, Sora encounters Sephiroth at [[The Dark Depths]]. The villain again asks about Cloud, but Sora and his companions do not reveal anything. He then inquires about Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]]'s identities, but again, they refuse to answer. Sephiroth then notices Sora's [[Keyblade]] and attacks, intending to test Sora's power and that of the Keyblade. Even though Donald and Goofy accompany Sora when he confronts Sephiroth, they do not fight alongside him, as Sephiroth only wishes to battle the Keyblade master. Sora appears to overcome him, but Sephiroth simply shrugs off the battle. Sephiroth compliments Sora on his skill in wielding the Keyblade, but says that Cloud is the only one that could "eliminate him." Sephiroth then tells Sora to find Cloud so that they could settle their feud.


Cloud arrives later, and initiates a battle with Sephiroth, who desires to draw Cloud into the darkness. However, Tifa protects Cloud, saying that Cloud does have light in him, and that, even if he didn't, then he just needed to be surrounded by light. Nevertheless, Sephiroth and Cloud start off for another battle, and after Tifa's intervention, Cloud glows in light, surprising Sephiroth and causing him to drop his guard. The two disappear in a brilliant flash of light.
Despite the fact Sephiroth and Sora can battle in ''Kingdom Hearts'', his dialogue with Sora in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' implies that their encounter in the first game never happened, since Sora, Donald and Goofy don't know who he is, and Sephiroth doesn't seem to know them either. However, Sephiroth says ''"so ''that's'' a Keyblade''", indicating that while he may or may not have seen a Keyblade before, he at least knows of them. His battle quote - "''show me your strength''" demonstrate that in his battle with Sora he wished to test his power, and see the Keyblade in action.

==Other appearances==
===''Dissidia Final Fantasy''===
Sephiroth's appearances based on his outfit from ''Kingdom Hearts'' has appeared as an alternate costume for him in the ''{{ff|Dissidia Final Fantasy}}'' series.


In ''{{ff|Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy}}'', his "Kingdom Hearts Gear" outfit is available as downloadable content.
Although he appears in Radiant Garden, it is not said whether he resides there permanently or not, which can also mean that Radiant Garden may not be his home world.


In ''{{ff|Dissidia Final Fantasy NT}}'', his "One-Winged Angel" outfit is available as a purchasable item in the in-game shop.
==Appearance==
{{-}}
Sephiroth's appearance in both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' is largely the same as his appearance in the various games of the ''[[finalfantasy:Compilation of Final Fantasy VII|Compilation of Final Fantasy VII]]'', though with a few significant differences. He has his distinctive long, silver hair with long bangs that frame his face, and dresses in a black leather coat. 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. Unlike in the ''Final Fantasy'' games, Sephiroth's coat has red-violet lining in the front. It is also noticibly more tattered in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games. The sleeves of his coat end in metal rings in place of normal cuffs, and he wears black leather gloves. For some reason there is an odd, black and red, fin-like growth on his right forearm.


==Design==
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. He wears black pants and knee-high boots of the same color, with two grey belts wrapped around each boot. His eyes are blue and he wears a silver pauldron over each shoulder. 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 [[finalfantasy:Jenova|Jenova]] in the ''Compilation of Final Fantasy VII''). In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he gains two more wings of the same color sprouting from either of his hips. Also in both games, Sephiroth carries his famous nodachi, Masamune, as his weapon.

Unlike in the ''Final Fantasy'' games, Sephiroth's coat has a red-violet lining in the front. It is also noticeably more tattered in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Sephiroth also has regular blue eyes, unlike the green, catlike eyes he and his Remnants have in the main series, and he is right-handed rather than left. The sleeves of his coat end in metal rings in place of normal cuffs, and he wears black leather gloves. There is an odd, black and red, fin-like growth on each forearm. Sephiroth's face looks strikingly like Cloud's, which Goofy comments on in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. This similarity may explain Sephiroth's difference in eye color from his original incarnation.

Sephiroth carries his iconic sword, Masamune, as his weapon. Sephiroth is one of only two characters who does not reappear in their ''Advent Children'' attire, the other being Cid.
==In Battle==
{{main|Sephiroth (Boss)}}
[[File:Sephiroth-KH Firaga.jpg|thumb|right|Sephiroth in the Platinum Match]]
In all incarnations, Sephiroth is portrayed as a master swordsman, wielding a long blade known as the ''Masamune''. In the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe, Sephiroth has a large repertoire of techniques that reflects some of abilities he used in ''Final Fantasy VII''. He can move about the battle ground with impressive speed, even fly, and occasionally teleports. He can also activate his attack "Stigma" which summons gigantic pillars of flames that can suck matter in, he can send out orbs of darkness called "Shadow Flares", and his most powerful attack "Super Nova" where he calls down meteors that spin around him and then explode.


==Personality==
His most noticeable technique is ''Heartless Angel'', an attack that drains an opponent of all their magic, leaving the player with 1HP and no MP, if he is not interrupted in time. He can also use a variation of Cloud's ''Omnislash'', where he flies around the arena slashing wildly. In both games, all of his attacks are extremely powerful, being able to easily kill Sora even when he's maxed out. Sephiroth has extremely high HP in both games. To add to the difficulty of him being a powerful enemy, in both games Sora has to fight him one-on-one without any help.
Sephiroth is cold, calculating, and ruthless, though not entirely uncaring. He is taciturn and focused, determined to draw Cloud down the path of darkness. Like many ''Final Fantasy'' characters, Sephiroth displays stoic personality traits, coupled with an almost monotone voice. Almost emotionless, he never overreacts to anything. Sephiroth is incredibly powerful, both physically and mentally, and is convinced that his power surpasses that of anyone else.  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''.


==Abilities==
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Sephiroth is one of the hardest bosses, rivaling [[Kurt_Zisa|Kurt Zisa]] and [[Phantom]], however, in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', Xemnas (known at the time as the ''Unknown'') also proved to be difficult. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he is also one of the hardest bosses, having no true rival, standing out as the games hardest boss. ''[[Kingdom Hearts II  Final Mix|Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' also has the [[Organization XIII]] battles, along with the Lingering Sentiment and Roxas, fights that greatly dilute Sephiroth's notorious difficulty.

In all incarnations, Sephiroth is portrayed as a master swordsman, wielding a long blade known as the Masamune. In the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe, Sephiroth boasts a large repertoire of techniques that reflect some of the abilities he used in ''Final Fantasy VII''. He moves about with impressive speed, and is able to fly and teleport. His "Firaga Wall" attack summons gigantic pillars of flames that can suck matter in. Another attack sends out orbs of darkness called "Shadow Flares". His most powerful attack, "Meteor," calls down meteors that revolve around him before exploding.


His most noticeable technique is "Heartless Angel", which that drains Sora's MP and defeated him instantly (unless Second Chance is equipped, in which case he will be left with 1 HP), if he is not interrupted in time, immediately followed by "Flash", which is fatal unless blocked via Reaction Command. He also uses a variation of Cloud's "Omnislash", in which he flies around the arena slashing wildly. In both games, all of his attacks are extremely powerful, able to easily kill Sora even with maxed stats. Sephiroth has extremely high HP in both games. To add to the difficulty, Sora must fight Sephiroth one-on-one without any help from his allies.
===Magic Stats===
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Sephiroth is immune to almost all forms of magic although magic based attacks (such as [[Ragnarok]]) do in fact cause damage.


In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Sephiroth ranks as one of the hardest bosses in the game, rivaling [[Kurt Zisa]] and [[Phantom]], but is arguably surpassed in difficulty by [[Xemnas]], known at the time as "Unknown". In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he is also one of the hardest bosses, but is again surpassed by the [[Organization XIII's Replica Data]] and the [[Lingering Will]].
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', all attack magic has no effect as well. The only magic based moves that will affect him are Magnega, the aftershock of Reflega, and the magic combo of [[Trinity Limit]]. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', all Limits in [[Limit Form]] work well against Sephiroth.


==Origin==
==Origin==
[[File:Sephiroth FFVII.png|250px|left]]
Sephiroth debuted as the main antagonist in ''Final Fantasy VII''. Once revered as a great hero, his discovery of the mysteries surrounding his origins and nature have driven him to insanity. Easily recognizable by his foreboding appearance and frighteningly long sword, Sephiroth aspired to destroy the Planet using a destructive item known as the Black Materia to cast Meteor and devastate the world. Constantly impeded by Cloud Strife, Sephiroth has seemingly grown a murderous obsession with him.

Easily recognizable by his foreboding appearance and frighteningly long sword, Sephiroth aspires to become a supreme being by using a destructive item known as the Black Materia to cast Meteor and devastate the world, wherein he would absorb the energy used to heal the Planet, and attain godhood. Sephiroth has developed a murderous obsession with Cloud Strife, who constantly impedes him.
 
==Trivia==
[[File:Sephiroth KH2.jpg|thumb|right|Sephiroth wielding Masamune.]]
*Almost all of Sephiroth's attacks, such as Super Nova, Heartless Angel, and Shadow Flare, are named for attacks he uses in the ''Final Fantasy'' series. The few attacks he does not know in the ''Final Fantasy'' series, such as Meteor and Flash, are still named for attacks in the series.
*Some of Sephiroth's moves from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series have been seen in use the crossover fighting game ''[[Wikipedia:Dissidia: Final Fantasy|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' as well as ''Crisis Core'', due to the circumstances and limitations concerning the original ''Final Fantasy VII''. Such attacks have made an appearance such as the Reaction attack used by him in the second game as well as manifesting darkness orbs and teleporting. The Meteor attack from both ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Dissidia'' involve a glow of sorts and the Heartless Angel both shows feather-shedding. In the English version of ''Dissidia'', he is seen using the pop-up attack from ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
*Sephiroth's Heartless Angel technique was originally first used by the ''Final Fantasy VI'' primary antagonist, Kefka Palazzo. It would later reappear as an attack of his in ''Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII.''
*Sephiroth's original English voice actor, Lance Bass of NSYNC fame was replaced by George Newbern in all succeeding appearances due to negative reactions. Newbern originally voiced Mevyn Nooj from ''Final Fantasy X-2'' and outside the franchise, had provided the voiceover for [[Wikipedia:Superman|Superman]] in animated spinoffs since the 90s.
*At the end of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep'', during the credits a black feather falls before [[Zack]] at the [[Olympus Coliseum]], hinting the presence of Sephiroth (although this may also be referencing [[finalfantasy:Genesis_Rhapsodos|Genesis]] from Crisis Core, who had a wing of the same color on his left shoulder).
*Sephiroth and [[Vanitas]] are the only two characters who embody the darkness within somebody's heart, Vanitas representing [[Ventus]]. The only difference is that Vanitas is an Unversed.
*Sephiroth is the only ''Final Fantasy'' villain to appear so far in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series.


Almost all of Sephiroth's attacks in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, such as "Supernova", "Heartless Angel", and "Shadow Flare", are named after attacks he uses in the ''Final Fantasy'' series. The few attacks he does not know in the ''Final Fantasy'' series, such as "Meteor" and "Flash", are still named after attacks in the series. Sephiroth's ''Kingdom Hearts'' appearance heavily influences his attacks in ''{{ff|Dissidia Final Fantasy}}'', such as his Flash attack from ''Kingdom Hearts II'' appearing as "Oblivion", and his Shadow Flare, which uses similar graphics to the two ''Kingdom Hearts'' games in the original Japanese version of ''Dissidia''. His Heaven's Light HP attack resembles his aerial combo in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and in his EX Mode, Sephiroth takes on a purple aura similar to that he takes on in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series when his HP is low. Sephiroth also quotes or paraphrases many of his ''Kingdom Hearts'' lines, such as "It's time" (based on "The time has come") and "Know your place."
