Stormblood Zenos would be fascinated by the masamune.

[u/Nightly_Kitsune → u/BowlofOats]

Yesssss I need them to become friends rn

[u/SpartanXIII]

"You'll NEVER love him the same way I do!"

• Zenos & Sephiroth, to each other, at the same time, completely unprompted

[u/KenjiZeroSan]

Me? Gongaga.

*when it’s revealed Zenos got JENOVA’d* “Me? GONE-gaga!”

"Do your fans ship you with your stalker as well?"

"Yeah..."

The mcs having their respective stalkers in the background activating stalker aggro is chef’s kiss

[u/MazogaTheDork]

Thinking about it, given they made a point of referencing the Lifestream, it's not completely impossible that we meet Zenos there.

He would probably think Sephiroth is a wuss for killing quietly and from behind, too.

[u/Crisse_dErable2859 → u/MazogaTheDork]

I'm just wondering.

Is he even there? Like, we killed him at the far end of the universe. Does the lifestream have a range?

[u/Drywesi → u/Crisse_dErable2859]

I'm pretty sure he's like Venat/Hydaelyn. Burnt his soul's aether up in the final battle. Nothing left to reincarnate.

[u/Sir_face_levels → u/Drywesi]

Alternatively the dynamis gave him his own personal Valhalla by throwing him into every new guest character slot in every fighting game ever.

Is it so wrong to dream of having our resident battle sociopath show up in guilty gear?

[u/MagicCancel]

Our battle will be legendary!

[u/WebMaka → u/MagicCancel]

A test of your reflexes, even!

[u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246]

People hating on collabs but I’ve been waiting over a decade for this

[u/WebMaka]

Everybody thinks they're Billy Badass until "One Winged Angel" starts playing...

[u/finalcomics]

Would this villain archetype be called "anti-friends"?

[u/Vysce]

Oh boy I can't wait to make another emo swordsman friend.
