Who is the real villain of ff7?

While Sephiroth is the iconic, main antagonist, the "real" villain is debated, with some pointing to the alien parasite Jenova (whose cells drove Sephiroth mad) or the unethical scientist Professor Hojo, who orchestrated the experiments that created Sephiroth and unleashed Jenova, making him the root cause of much suffering, say Reddit users. Ultimately, Sephiroth is the immediate threat and Cloud's nemesis, but Hojo and Jenova represent deeper, systemic evils.

Is Sephiroth pure, evil, or broken?

Sephiroth is a complex villain: he starts as a hero but becomes villainous due to trauma and a devastating identity crisis after learning he's a product of human experimentation (Jenova cells), making him tragically "broken," yet his subsequent actions—mass murder, genocide, and attempts to destroy the planet for selfish, godlike power—are undeniably pure evil, a descent from brokenness to monstrous intent. He isn't just misguided; he's a fallen hero warped by existential horror and a deluded sense of superiority, driven by revenge and a desire to rule, making him both pitiable and utterly wicked.

Is Sephiroth actually an angel?

Sephiroth isn't a traditional angel, but he's called the "One-Winged Angel" due to his iconic angelic appearance (especially in later games like Kingdom Hearts and FF7 Remake) featuring a single black wing, symbolizing his fallen, god-like, yet incomplete/alien nature. He's a human-alien hybrid (son of the alien Jenova), and his "angelic" look is tied to his genetic origins and manipulation of cosmic powers, representing a corrupted, terrifying beauty rather than a divine being.
