Why did Sephiroth have wings?

Sephiroth has a wing because it's a visual representation of his incomplete transformation and "fallen angel" status, stemming from his Jenova cells reacting to the Lifestream; it symbolizes his power, corruption, and failed godhood, appearing in his "Safer Sephiroth" form as a dark, angelic appendage, famously linked to his theme song, "One-Winged Angel".

How did Sephiroth get wings?

Sephiroth's wing comes from his creation with Jenova cells, which mutate his body, particularly in his final "Safer Sephiroth" form where his arm transforms into a large, black wing, symbolizing his fallen angel status and connection to the alien Jenova. Other characters like Genesis and Angeal also developed wings due to Jenova infection, but Sephiroth's single wing became his iconic feature, appearing in his ultimate monstrous form in the original game and consistently in later appearances like Kingdom Hearts and Advent Children.

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.
