The Internet Showing Their Desire For Sephiroth to be in Other Games

Sephiroth, the infamous villain from Final Fantasy VII, has been seen virally showing up in pictures of other games across social media as the internet wishes.

If you’ve been on X/Twitter recently, you have probably seen random posts about Sephiroth showing up in a game where he is not supposed to.

One example is this post below, which shows Youtuber Markiplier being frightened by his appearance in Five Nights at Freddy’s.

But why is this? How did the One-Winged Angel invade the other games? Has Sephiroth gone mad with his 40-meter Masamune? Well, it all started with a seemingly normal post…

The Calling

i think sephiroth should be in every video game

Now, eagle-eyed readers would have noticed that the post above was quoted from another post, and this post, where X/Twitter user @eyebrowpillar said something simple as wanting Sephiroth in every game.

so right https://t.co/4Q91PRMrHY

At the start, the post didn’t garner much attention, with a few people here and there agreeing with the user, seemingly a harmless post. But soon, the Internet witnessed the obsession of users of wanting Sephiroth everywhere.

The Rampage

Soon, many users of the Internet saw the post and spread it like wildfire, as it quickly garnered the attention of the masses, with 11.8M views recorded as of writing.

Netizens which must’ve agreed with the statement, started to do what they do best and unleashed Sephiroth into the multiverse, editing him into any game that they see fit.

For example:

DMC 5

He’d join the gray hair club https://t.co/nGNcF72zLS pic.twitter.com/7g0snaJ6aC

Oh look, it’s Sephiroth showing up in Devil May Cry 5, seems that he’s eager to take the Yamato’s power for himself. Which is quite fitting as both villains use long Japanese swords.

Clearly, this is real, they even showcased Sephiroth on the game cover, and you can see the One-Winged Angel in the game as well, as shown below.

Leon look out behind you! https://t.co/GB1poskOwd pic.twitter.com/7hC4dhsNxV

Ah yes, I love RE4’s villain Sephiroth https://t.co/jhFNILGYgU pic.twitter.com/llsuW9xuka

— Hype (@_HypeDX) March 18, 2024

Now we don’t know why Sephiroth would be so fixated on chasing down Leon, maybe he sees Cloud’s resemblance in him.

And it’s not only Leon who was targeted too, look at this rare screenshot of a modded Resident Evil 2 Remake which shows Aerith seemingly escaping Sephiroth with a Glock in her hands.

Ace Attorney

He was great in ace attorney https://t.co/2C3OEJpuy2 pic.twitter.com/8ihz06rxPJ

Unsurprisingly, we even see Sephiroth being a lawyer in Ace Attorney!

Who knew that not only was he the mastermind of a devious evil plan, but he even had a lawyer certificate to debate in court? While we don’t know who is the case against, I’m pretty sure “I want that twink dead” while holding a sword longer than yourself is a valid argument.

Persona 5

Well if Sephiroth owning people in court wasn’t enough, he then needs to change the hearts of people, and look here who we found Sephiroth with.

he thieving or whateva https://t.co/hKCDt7wuae pic.twitter.com/LHzprVRPfm

— shiro’s girlfailure (@qiyanough) March 18, 2024

He’s hanging out with the Phantom Thieves, going out there to change the hearts of the wicked. But wait, I thought Sephiroth was supposed to be evil here… What is the man planning now I wonder?

Genshin Impact

Now of course, RPG fans can’t stand by and just see Sephiroth invade all the other games, so of course, they did their best and summoned him by… wishing upon the stars of Teyvat!?

Players were even able to capture rare, definitely real, in-game footage of Sephiroth being in Genshin Impact.

yes https://t.co/qQKLg0Yauj pic.twitter.com/SeP84aUAVC

— yulia (@FUSHIGUR0) March 18, 2024

But sadly, bringing in such a powerful being to the world of Teyvat will have its consequences. In this case, it would seem that the protagonist won’t even get a chance to meet Paimon anymore, how will the story unfold now?

Genshin Impact fans will hate me, but… Paimon needs to go. https://t.co/bnBBiIx7AG pic.twitter.com/WWIoKwmhf7

Yakuza Series

Fans from Yakuza have also been reporting that Sephiroth is appearing in their games, with one noticing that Sephiroth is teaming up with the boys.

we are the yakuza 4 https://t.co/78FR49s2yR pic.twitter.com/Q1362hwjxi

Fighting mobs in the Yakuza series is but a trivial task that the protagonist must do, but it seems a worthy foe has entered the battlefield this time… and he’s not playing nice.

In the end, it seems that the bond between the Yakuza and Sephiroth could not last long, as Sephiroth is seen facing off against Kiryu himself.

The Sims

Apparently after spreading all that chaos, Sephiroth ultimately has decided that enough is enough and wants to settle down. And so, the Internet granted his wish by letting him invade the Sims!

Just look at this in-game footage of Sephiroth accidentally burning himself while Aerith and Zack scramble to extinguish him, even Cloud and Tifa are there too! But then I thought Sephiroth is used to standing in flames, guess he got too tired after invading all those games.

i don’t think he can handle the heat https://t.co/cwPVcVx57O pic.twitter.com/GVrLEHksg8

Ok, Seriously What is All This?

Well if you made it this far and still couldn’t tell what was going on, the internet answered the calling of the one post and edited, made, or modded Sephiroth into different games, which quickly turned into an internet-wide meme.

And while we all wish that our favorite One-Winged Angel could spread his theme song everywhere, players would now have to express their urges through these memes. Speaking of, here’s a few more for your perusal. Enjoy!
