Sephiroth gets the Black Materia - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 

LMAO THIS IS HILARIOUS

😂

It would be funny if Sephiroth says, "Come and get it" 😂

Funny how Aerith and Sephiroth are supposed to be playing 4D chess on this timeline, but while Sephiroth has power to fly, Aerith is still pretty much grounded

It honestly reminds me of the OG scene where Sephiroth chucks a Destruct Materia at Cloud and then *nyooms* away! LOL!

what a troll he is

He's playing fetch with cloud like a puppy.

EXACTLY@@ett375

He's basically flaunting his complete control over Cloud.

Naaaa ...i think he needs Clouds hate to activate the black Materia

😂😂

Sephiroth: But Cloud was supposed to hand it over.

D'oh!

"What a nice man. And to think I stabbed him in the first game."

lmao

Definitely got possessed Jack from The Shining vibes.

Of course, this is giving homage to The Shining.

@@SilentHunter7 "Here's Cloudy."

It's Like Gollum in lord of the rings, same vibes

@@WalterEgos. yeah it definitely gave me LOTR vibes.

Toddler who can't have his toy no more vibes

It's not fake. The pedestal's was, then after the temple collapse, the real one was obviously revealed. Such is the reward for Cait Sith's sacrifice, and it's literally how the temple works. Aerith provides it to Cloud. The fake was destroyed. The real one is in Cloud's possession, and he is being drawn North PRECISELY to give that to Sephiroth. Ergo, none of what you've seen thusfar was "Sephiroth." They were, as they have literally always been since the 90's, JENOVA transformations of Nibelheim incident burn victims, and other Hojo experiments that he let out to test the JENOVA theory. Cloud having the black materia; none of the other party members seeing Sephiroth, and Aerith only "speaking" to Cloud AFTER they all board the Tiny Bronco could NOT BE MORE CLEARLY INDICATING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING IN CLOUD'S HEAD. "Sephiroth" is only ever seen as; ---A morphed Nibelheim burn victim or other SC-# release from Hojo's lab at Shinra, such as (now) Roche and Broden, courtesy of JENOVA ---A piece of JENOVA's corpse ---Inside Cloud's POV only, with only dead/metaphysically existent teammates (newly dead Aerith/Zack), and right after being separated from the rest of the party (Midgardsormr, Ancient temple, etc). ---An amalgamation of whispers congregating to "form" his "body" Sephiroth is dead. Yes, even in the remakes. The fake black materia was destroyed with Cait Sith's 1st body. The original was taken by the party. Barret really did throw the orb like an idiot, but that's also because Sephiroth clearly wasn't there, and Barret too thought he was holding the fake. He doesn't understand, much like you don't, that the temple itself is the black materia. The "orb" that we see as the fake on the pedestal is useless. The temple becomes and provides the true black materia upon its own destruction. JENOVA, yes JENOVA and not Sephiroth, manipulate Cloud into chasing "Sephiroth" since Midgar so that they will free the real black materia from the temple. It isn't even until a few days after this in canon when the party gets further North does Sephiroth's corpse (because again, say it with me, he is DEAD) even *begin* to materialize and exercise any form of its own control over Cloud or any of the other Nibelheim victims. It is at **that** point that the WEAPONS truly wake up. Cloud is separated by the temple and whispers and there you "hand over the black materia" aka put it in his pocket because that's how this game's story has LITERALLY ALWAYS WORKED. I honestly pity the sad-ass, wrong-more-than-it's-right interpretations you guys come up with. You completely miss the point of scenes and the theme of the game entirely. It's like they might as well just pipe white noise onto your screens. You're being tricked by a 25 year old plot point that they are CLEARLY still using.

@@davemccombs Damn dude relax. Hope this comment helped make you feel smarter than the rest of everyone else.

One Materia to rule them all, one Materia to find them One Materia to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

I cracked up at 20:16 thanks to this comment. Sephiroth as Gollum... "We must takes it for ourselves!"

MY LITERAL FIRST THOUGHT

21:10

I always thought that Sephiroth was Morgoth/Sauron

At 9:01 aerith literally says its fake, das y sephirot gave it back

I know people have complained over the years Sephiroth’s been made too obsessive over Cloud, but I feel like moments like this really show that can work. He LOVES torturing him, and he can use that torture to screw over the rest of the cast.

@Wolfboss7 Sephiroth can't take the black materia at this point because he isn't really there, the girls can't even see him there. He's just an image created by Jenova in Cloud's head, she needs Cloud to take the black materia and deliver it to Sephiroth's real slumbering body at the northern crater in order for the real Sephiroth's consciousness to summon meteor.

Sephiroth is Jenova's power card, but he's still Jenova's puppet nonetheless. She needs to use Sephiroth's image to intimidate Cloud, and also borrow the real Sephiroth's power to summon meteor since she isn't able to do so herself. The problem with SE is that they overplayed Sephiroth way too much till people forget Sephiroth is just Jenova's puppet, just like Cloud.

Not quite. There is the Watashi (I, gender neutral Sephiroth JENOVA, and the "Ore" Sephiroth) The Ore Sephiroth is the Whispers Sephiroth. But that Sephiroth is using JENOVA's plan to create The Undying Infinity World passed Reunion. Basically Heaven. Meteor will end these World Fragments and Feed them to Infinity as One World that is Undying.@@KrelianLoke

Cody Christian is the goat. Really is perfect as Cloud.

Right ? This had some cool drama

He literally sounds like a psychopathic killer taunting his prey, and it doesn't help that we're controlling Cloud to chase after Aerith

@@axceljulio5747honestly I thought we was gonna controlled Aerith honestly.

​@@axceljulio5747so that's why I found it hot.

​@@axceljulio5747lore wise, Sephorith

What I saw more was how DARK and BLACK his eyes were

His pupils are small, adding to the "vacant" look. When Sephiroth gives him the order, his eyes immediately dilate, like a predator stalking prey. I love little details like that. I hope we get to see him with the "cat eyes" during the Crater scene, to emphasize how little of Cloud is left at that point.

@@Laterose15 Cloud with cat eyes would be so cool, please do this Square !!!

​@@mori_san8206Cloud's eyes did become green and his pupils turned into slits when he suffered a Geostigma attack in Advent Children.

@@EvelynL.1112 yep but if it's in the 3rd game that would be cool af

He does it at the Gongaga reactor as well, when he singlehandedly slaughtered an entire troop. At one point he even swaps his sword to his left hand to impale a guy.

Cloud finally using his Jenova-Mako strength. He does feel kinda underpowered in the Remake, whereas Sephiroth who has the same buffs as him could accomplish so much more

@@Laterose15 I just noticed, nice catch!

​@@iam4026sephiroth has more buffs he born with jenova cells

@@5.55lucky I thought he was injected with it after he was born? Albeit as he was a baby, that is

I'm freaking obsessed with Cloud acting like Sephiroth and being controlled by him

​@@mori_san8206Same here. Their hero-villain dynamic is interesting through the connection they both share physically and spiritually.

I swear I also saw Gollum when he smirked like crazy in the Temple or when he kept looking at it and even was upset that it was taken from him XD so cute tho

😂😂 literally

I really love how Rebirth puts a lot of emphasis on Cloud's distorted psyche.

Blame that bastard Hojo.

@@deathbykonami5487 why hojo

I’m hoping the 3rd game will be absolutely soul crushing

@@sanddry738 ohhh it absolutely will be. they will focus and further explore Cloud's fucked up mental state, as we have already seen here when Cloud becomes a puppet of Sephiroth

And so- he listened to the puppet-master...Even thought Tifa said the exact same thing as Sephiroth, Cloud pushed Tifa as if she was something pestering him from showing off to Sephiroth ToT

One of the most unintentionally comical videogame scenes

That’s really cool detail because I think even in the OG something similar happened where you would still get dragged. (I think it was the kid manifestation of Cloud not being able to reach someone?)

Iirc in the OG you can only control "ghost" Cloud (his consciousness?) while Cloud body actually pummels Aerith without mercy

I was not expecting Cloud to laught this menacingly and also to have suck a dark smirk while taking the black materia...Being evil from time to time is good tho :D

You wrong for that. XD

And now I picture Sephiroth going to the Bioshock world just to screw with everyone's life.

bro he’s sounds so creepy 😭😭😭

Sounded like a fent fiend

Sounds like he hasn't had his hit of mako yet and Aerith is holding out on him lol

Same vibes as Jack from the Shining.

This is so unsettling lol kudos to Cody

@@kjdee140hereee’s Cloudy!

Isn't it a fake though? We see the entire temple shrink like in the original (and this time they don't know about it, because how could they?) and drop into the crater, it sounds insanely heavy when it lands. But no one pays it any mind. So this thing's gotta be a fake, right? But yeah, was a real good scene.

​@@Xbob42it is a fake. When it rolls to Sephiroth at 15:40, he confirms it is the key to unlocking the real one, which he acquires moments later at 18:54. Notice how the Black materia here has lightning inside it. Cloud was imagining Sephiroth in this scenario since he's not actually there. This is probably why Cloud has it in the final cutscene.

@@shineon9715 pretty sure Sephiroth was actually there since the entire party noticed him pick up the Black Materia as well as the fact that Aerith specifically told him to give it back. As for the black materia, Sephiroth could’ve easily just slipped it back to Cloud’s possession during the time where they both flew through that weird bright tunnel showing the multiple tomelines

@iam4026 Sephiroth turns into Jenova at multiple points in the story while the party mistakenly thinks it's actually him. I don't think it's outlandish to interpret that the one we see here is also another imitation. If he's real, then why not just take the black materia and fly away instead of giving it back to Cloud. It makes more sense for this to just be another Jenova/Black Whisper encounter since it would explain how Cloud has it by the end of the game. We know the real, physical Sephiroth is frozen up north, which is where Cloud should presumably hand it over.

I really thought, "Oh no, here we go again!" based on what happened with Tifa earlier 😅

Then Cait Sith Mark II comes along.

Hey Kids,Cait Sith 2.0 reporting for duty. Robots am i right?

I always knew Jesus was a cat

I’m Connor, the android sent from Cyberlife 😂

@@recordkeepertype0662A false idol, the real one passed on

At this point, Cloud's mindfuckery is the thing I'm most looking forward to in part 3. They've done such a good job with both that and building up his relationship with the team. Everything else, I'm just shrugging my shoulders and waiting.

@@Laterose15I look forward to seeing Emerald/Ruby/Diamond Weapon in PS5 graphics.

@@Laterose15 are you excited to play as cid and vincent though

​@@Laterose15Plus, it gonna get enhanced even more because of the connections to other games. *They already planted the seeds of remake not being a remake but a shoelace to tie everything*

@@kingstarscream320 I'm waiting to see that, Hojo's mutated form and Jenova Synthesis.

This part so confusing I don’t know why sephrioth drops the black material and tells cloud to bring it to him . He already had the black material why did he drop it . Does the black material have powers that make people want it so bad

@@passion4pets513 he's playing games with Cloud, since y'know? he is his puppet

@passion4pets513 He's just screwing with Cloud basically. Sephiroth is enjoying himself.

@@passion4pets513 because sephiroth i splaying games with them he alwas could anc can end them all only vincent can be his equal in power

​@@passion4pets513I think he can't actually use the Black Materia unless in his own body.

Sephiroth: Do it!!!!

That’s cloud laughing, not Sephiroth

Explain to me plz

@@dawsonslone it'll be fun to see that no battle took place Cloud and Aerith gave in and Sephiroth handed Cloud the Materia again for asserting dominance

He would have probably stepped closer, even pulling his sword out and slash Aerith to make her drop the materia.

Hs damn

*Aerith: remembers getting beaten to a pulp in previous timeline* "Yeah I think I'll just give it to him this time..." LOL.

@@princessoscar3089 his sing-song "Aerithhh🎶" was enough for her to say yup, not my problem! 😂

Yeah, after changing the hojo trying to mate her, Dane suicide, and cid's potty mouth I figured they were gonna do something else.

I think it was fake and then the moment sephiroth held it he manifested the real one when he made cloud picked it up

Yup. The one inside the temple is the fake one. After the temple imploded, we didn't see cuz Cloud was loosing it, but Cloud at some point after that hid the real Black Materia inside his pocket or/then sword. He doesn't know he had done it nor when he had it.

Bro beat his way through a wall

He scared me so much.

🙋‍♀️

Or that there's now two of them like in the New Threat Mod. lol

​@@doodlebugfour7070NEW THREAT MOD MENTIONED! I AM ASCENDING-

Don’t see why him beating her is a big deal. It’s just fiction.

@@kingstarscream320it’s more so how goofy it would look ngl, this is way more effective and chilling

@@kingstarscream320some people are just that sensitive LOL

@@jamrah8713Yeah ngl I probably would’ve bursted out laughing if he started pummeling her

From what I heard, this isn't the first time Cody Christian played someone who's unhinged when being evil. (Theo from Teen Wolf, I believe)

Considering the remake is about that small thing that is not small at all(which makes Remake into a non-remake)? The small thing being a different timeline set on combining all timelines, one where she is dead and alive, one where Zack is dead and alive, one where Biggs is dead to save Cloud and one where Biggs is alive because of Zack choice. And also Sephiroth versions, each with a different "symbol". On each timeline, mind you. So one on OG, one on Advent Children, one on Crisis Core.

I thought it would be the cetras speaking through her. They had similiar voices.

😂😂😂👍

And Machinabridged Cloud would chime back "WE F**KED UP!? YOU TOSSED THE ARMAGEDDON MATERIA AWAY LIKE IT WAS A CHEAP MABLE!!!"

EXACTLY. Just like in Advent Children.

It could still happen in part 3 at the northern crater with a accompanied boss fight hopefully

​@EvelynL.1112 when did that happen?

Lol yeah that was reckless

Wow that's dark anyways

Didn't they change that in rebirth vs the OG?

Only Tifa did the logical thing to try and stop Cloud, but even she didn’t do enough to hold him back

But then to be honest they r no match for him

Things like this are only possible in video games. Such a genuinely cool gameplay mechanic.

They do acknowledge Sephiroth at the beginning when he appears to take the fake Black Materia. After that though, it's possible you're right. Which could be even more creepy for Cloud.

This is wrong Aerith literally runs up to and tries to grab it from Sephiroth's hand. Y'all just be TALKING.

Why do people keep pushing this when it's clear remake world has different rules and the Sephiroth with the wing is the future advent children aware Sephiroth?

For those who played the OG, that message with the black materia Also showed that it was fake and if it follows the story, the real one is the temple itself

Would've been perfect had they skipped the multiverses/fate ghosts bs

@@capslock956 I mean it makes sense given the power of Sephiroth

The think I don’t get is the why in only the temple of anicents cloud becomes fully under sephiroth influence 90% of the temple he was not himself

@@passion4pets513 because that’s where the Black Materia is. Apparently Sephiroth couldn’t go in there alone, he needed Cloud to get it for him. Also I’m not sure if they’re still going with this but Sephiroth isn’t really Sephiroth, it’s Jenova appearing as him. They’ve kinda showed this a lot in Remake when Cloud would think of Sephiroth and he would appear.

​@capslock956 can be applied to Remake, Rebirth and Reunion when it comes out. The whole multiverse and ghosts bs is convoluted and adds nothing to the story, otherwise there are soo many great things to love in those games.

When Red first meets the party, he uses a more mature voice to make himself seem tough and wise. After Cosmo Canyon, he uses his real voice. In the Japanese version of FFVII, Red spoke in a completely different way after this, which was lost in translation back in the day.

It's Jenova always has been

Someone should make a horror game or horror map for VRChat where it's you in a dark corridor, with Puppet Cloud (or Sephiroth if you prefer) chasing you.

Three words, mako-Sephiroth-Jenova

Cloud is controlled of Sephiroth

Welcome to FF7

I think the one in the Temple, as Aerith said, is in fact a fake and a trap so it's very much likely the Temple is still the Black Materia.

Uh, did you miss the part where the entire temple shrinks into a small mass and falls into the crater? I think that IS still the black materia, and this one IS a fake.

Scratch what I said, I forgotten that Cloud pocketed it.

Sephiroth literally spells it out: “This is the key to the true counterpart hidden between worlds”

what happens if he did

Missed opportunity 😊

​It was always debated many years ago he was punching the ground tho lol 😂. I remember a big debate about it like in the early 00s. But yeah, whether he did or not, I was surprised that scene was cut. 😂

@@Rkader11u ok there?
