Why is Sephiroth obsessed with Cloud and not Zack?

Sephiroth fixates on Cloud because Cloud is the most effective vessel for his plans, being a unique "successful" clone with Jenova cells, capable of wielding the Black Materia, and the one who previously defeated him, fueling Sephiroth's twisted pride and desire for vengeance, making Cloud a significant tool and a symbol of his own humiliation, rather than just another expendable soldier like Zack.

Why is Sephiroth fixated on Cloud?

So, Sephiroth himself doesn't hold an obsession with Cloud. It's the memory that Cloud has of Sephiroth is what haunts him.

Why did Cloud forget Zack?

Cloud forgot Zack because the severe trauma of watching Zack die, combined with Mako poisoning and Jenova cells from Shinra experiments, shattered his mind, causing him to subconsciously create a false identity by merging Zack's persona and memories with his own weak self, effectively erasing Zack from his conscious memory. He didn't forget Zack entirely but rather became a warped version of Zack's heroic image, believing Zack's experiences were his own.

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.

While Sephiroth isn't explicitly transgender in the original, Remake or Rebirth, it's easy to see how a character whose tribulations are based around questions of identity and self-acceptance might cause many to see queer subtext. Struggles with identity are a key theme in Rebirth, too.
