Prepare to Cry Patheic Fan Girls: Kefka vs Sephiroth, The Ultima Showdown

Well then, I have returned you patheic flies. Well, you followers are'nt flies...but, whatever it matters not! Now to the point. You PATHEIC fan girls...prepare to have your bizzare sexual fantasies of that sliver haired, one-winged mama's boy CRUSHED BY MY VERBAL FIST OF MANY MEATS!!! (Brusts into insane, chaotic laughter) anyways...now who is infact the better villain: Kefka Palazzo or Sephiroth Hojo (Just to let you viewers know, Hojo is the last name of a major antagonist who fathered Sephiroth...to some degree)? This will be similar to my Lord of the Rings veruses A Walk to Remeber rant. It was hard but I made it work...oh, yes...I did. >:)

Origins

Kefka: An abused child taken in by Cid (head of the Magitek Research Faclity), and volunteered to be the first human to undergo Magitek Infusion. This granted him magical powers similar to that of the ethereal beings known as Espers. He soon became a general of the Magitek Army, however the side affects of the infusion slowly drove him to insanity. He began to wear bizarre gowns, wore clownish makeup, even played with dolls and his once shy, methodical mind was metaphorically replaced with an immature, sadistic, nihilistic one...

Sephiroth: Infused with the genetic material of an extra-terrestrial deity known as JENOVA by his deranged father (Professor Hojo) when he was a mere fetus in his whorish mother's womb, Sephiroth was born with physically and mentally superior ability compared to his peers. He joined the SOLIDER unit (essentially the secerte police of the world of FFVII) of Shinra Electirc Power Company and became it's most well known, respected and powerful unit. However, he soon found after researching the archives of Shinra that he was injected with the cells of Jenova. Thus, because Jenova was a powerful alien goddess, he believed that it was his birthright to rule the planet...and demolish the human race with his power, allowing him and mother to recreate the world as it should be...

Winner: Kefka, notice the odd similarty between the two. Kefka came first! Also, he wasnt a mama's boy.

Evilness

Kefka: During the begging of the game, he was comically insane and wasn't that much of a threat. Even the poisoning of the water supply of the kingdom of Doma was done with a dark comedy. But, once you saw him torture a pair of test subjects (Shiva and Ifrift), brunt down an whole city just because he didn't like how it looked and drained the power of countless espers for his own personal gain and mass murdered them shortly after...you realised that he was force to be reconned with. Oh hoe, the fun doesn't end there...he back stabs the emperor, pushes him off a cliff and absorbs the power of a trio of mythical statues and REDUCES THE PLANET TO BURNT HUSK OF IT'S FORMER GLORY! As a God of Magic, he sits atop of a tower built from the ruins of cities that he single handily destroyed, blasting away the small pockets of civilization remaining with the Light of Judgement (an ungodly powerful spell that summons a colossal beam of death, sort of like a magical nuke).

Sephiroth: Once he went insane from the truth of his origins, Sephiroth went on a homicidal rampage burning the small hamlet of Nibelhim to the ground in his wrath. But, shortly after reuniting with his mother, a whinny emo kid named Cloud stabbed him and launched him down a chasm. Sephiroth did surive and absorbed some of Jenova's cells decretly from her and begain to undergo a metamorphisis within an underground labryinth of etcoplysim known as the Whrilwind Maze. While fragments of Jenova began causing death and carnage shaped as Sephiroth, he was in hibernation. However, he did impale Cloud's girlfriend and drove him partialy insane. Halfway through the game, he began to summon a massive celestail hunk of rock towards the planet...this was known as Meteor. His plan was to have the meteor smash into the planet and to have the mythical essence of the planet emegre...he would intercept and abosrb it becoming invincable. This would also destroy all life on the planet. But, the players killed him before meteor landed...while it did destroy a capital city, humanity recovered swiftly.

Winner: Kefka, he massacred thousands without mummy's help and also actually destroyed the planet to some degree.

Music

Kefka: His main theme is disturbingly perky and yet malevolent. Like carnival music but more obviously evil. His final boss theme is a 17 minute long fuga of insanity known as Dancing Mad, it has four tiers and has a 5 minute long organ solo.

Sephiroth: His main theme is called Those Chosen by The Planet. It is a dirge like piece with a booming percussion background with a deep choir. He has two boss themes, a techno piece known as a Birth of God, witch has Those Chosen by The Planet mixed into it. But his most iconic piece is One-Winged Angel. It is a famous piece which consits of a Latin choir with lyrics stolen from Carl Offs Carmina Burna, while it is a good piece...it is no match for Dancing Mad's utter insanity.

Winner: Kefka, 17 miunte long fugas are the gateway to my soul.

Quotes

Kefka: Kefka has a dark sense of humor which is reflected in his quotes. Often times he brusts into sadistic laughter before or after killing someone. Some of his most iconic lines are, "Why do people insist on creating things that will inevitably be destroyed? Why do people cling to life, knowing that they must someday die? ...Knowing that none of it will have meant anything once they do?", "Bleh! You people make me sick! You sound like lines from a self-help book! If that's how it's going to be... I'll snuff them all out! Every last one of your sickening, happy little reasons for living! " and "Ouch! B-blood... Blood! Blood!!! You vicious brat! Argh... Grrr...! You know, you really are a stupid... Vicious... Arrogant, whiny, pampered, backstabbing, worthless... LITTLE BRAT!!! " Need I go on?

Sephiroth: He dose'nt talk that much, most of his notable lines are in the movie based off of the game in which he made his debut. His dialouge is reflected in his lack of emotion, misanthropy and love for his mummy...aw. "You should have ruled this planet. You were stronger, smarter. But then they came, those inferior dullards...They came and took this planet away from you. But don't be sad, Mother. I am with you now. (Rips away the casing to reveal Jenova) We meet at last...Mother.", "You are just a puppet... You have no heart... and cannot feel any pain... How can there be any meaning in the memory of such a being? What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion.", "I will, never be a memory. "

Winner: Kefka! The nilhist aspects of his rants are something that will never be toped by a preety boy whos an UTTER mama's boy.

  1. There's nothing wrong with being a "Mama's Boy" and I don't think Jenova would take kindly to you calling her "whorish."

    Other than that... good blog!

  2. CORRECTION!!! I was not referring to Jenova as the whore. You see, his father injected Sephiroth with Jenova's cells...she did'nt actually spawn Sephiroth. You see, Sephiroth's biological mother was a tramp who cheated on this nice, sweet, emo guy with Hojo, ie a homicidal, methodical insane doctor.

  3. what do you guys think is the ratio of kefka fans to sephiroth fans.

    the one major reason why sephiroth is liked so much is coz of the on winged angel.

    i'm a kefka and a ff6 fan btw.

    ff7 storyline was a bit too vague for my taste. It could have been much better.

  4. Eh, as far as epic boss themes go. I proffer Dancing Mad, it was more original anyway. The only issue that I had with FFVI was the fact that Terra was kinda spineless for a female protagoinst. But I enjoyed those small battle sequences at Narshe...those were fun and original I thought.

  5. As far as the ratio goes I would say that Sephiroth has way more fans. Because of his physical apperance, he gets alot of rabid fangirls. Kefka dose'nt have half as many fans because as far as video game/anime characters go, fangirls are a major factor on a character's popularty sadly.

  6. ya it blew me away the first time i listened it on snes(emulator). downloaded kefka's theme first thing in the morning or maybe it was night. 17 minutes of madness. What do you think would have happened to ff7 was released in 16 bit snes era and ff6 in the psx era ?

  7. also i have a question - who killed aeris? was it jenova or was it sephiroth. let me know your thoughts.

  8. If final fantasy vi got released for the PSX, there would be far more Edgar fangirls and Celes+Locke fanfics. But, I think Kefka's popularty would remain the same. As for Areis's killer, I would Jenova did it because it would only make sense that she did'nt finish her sentence until after her defeat,if she finished it for Sephiroth that would be kinda weird. But then again that isn't the only loophole in FFVII's story, lol.
