  I think Sephiroth started to become manipulated by Jenova as soon as he was in proximity to her at Nibelheim. She can do this because her cells are in Sephiroth. Jenova can&apos;t communicate but has been described to exude pure hatred and she has the ability to manipulate emotions. She used his insecurities to drive him to research, go crazy, and destroy the town to &quot;rescue&quot; her so she could use Sephiroth&apos;s body to take over the world. That&apos;s why some of Sephiroth&apos;s decisions seem illogical, unthoughtful, or based on misinterpretations while in Nibelheim - Jenova is biasing his judgement and influenced him so a particular outcome would occur.

  My dude. That is some top shelf head canon with Jenova being a rogue Omega Weapon.<br><br>Don&apos;t let Nomura see that, LOL

  I think part of the reason Sephiroth looks bigger, is because he&apos;s trying to seem more imposing to Cloud&apos;s mind. He wants Cloud to remain his puppet. Even in the original game, when you have the flashback and see Sephiroth fight the Dragon in Nibelheim--I think it is shown that he is like a superhero, because Cloud saw him as one. It would reinforce the idea that he can&apos;t be beat, which would make Cloud doubt himself. After all, Cloud was able to defeat (albeit a wounded) Sephiroth at the reactor and he was pre-Mako pre-Jenova cells.

  Love your theory of Jenova possibly being an Omega weapon from a dying planet that sought out different planets to sustain her life. I hope more of her origins are explained as the calamity in the sky in the next remake games, she&apos;s such an interesting antagonist.

  There is some context to Sephiroth&apos;s height in the original game, beyond what was mentioned in the video. We see the photo that the man in Nibelheim took of Zack, Sephiroth and Tifa, and Sephiroth is very clearly taller than Zack and significantly taller than teenage Tifa. We&apos;re never given Zack&apos;s height in the original game of course, but in later materials it&apos;s been established as 6&apos;1. But I think that even looking at the OG photo, Sephiroth very clearly gives off a vibe of someone who is taller than 6&apos;1. He looks at least 6&apos;4.<br><br>Every subsequent compilation release has either suggested or established Sephiroth&apos;s height as being much taller than 6&apos;1 and somewhere between 6&apos;4 and 6&apos;7, so yeah I agree entirely with the video that the original 6&apos;1 is almost certainly junk localisation. (In the PAL manual it&apos;s 185cm btw, which I think isn&apos;t even 6&apos;1!)

  I absolutely love your theory of Jenova being another Omega Weapon. Very intriguing!
