Sepher (סֶפֶר) is Hebrew for "book" thus, Safer Sephiroth (Sefer Sfirot) literally translates to "Book of Numerations", possibly linked to the mathematical formulas that appear during his Supernova attack. ![]() "safer" can also be translated as "sefer", "sapher", and "sepher". However, the origin of the name Safer∙Sephiroth is Hebrew, as te boss's name as written in Japanese is "セーファ・セフィロス", or Sēfa Sefirosu. Safer∙Sephiroth could easily be seen as a Seraph, with a seventh wing in place of his arm (perfectly presenting an allusion to the game's number). A Seraph (plural "Seraphim", שְׂרָפִים) is described in the Hebrew Bible as being a humanoid angel with six wings. A common rumor is that "Safer" is a misspelling of "Seraph" (שרף) due to Safer∙Sephiroth's angelic appearance. It is often believed the name Safer∙Sephiroth is a mistranslation, similar to how Helletic Hojo should have been translated as "Heretic Hojo". Sephiroth's penultimate form, Bizarro∙Sephiroth, is a mistranslation, and "Rebirth Sephiroth" would be more apt. Sephiroth also means "counting" (of numbers), which can be attributed to the Sephiroth Clones. The Sephiroth are described in the Kabbalah as the manifestations of God that allow Him to manifest in the physical and metaphysical universes, referring to Sephiroth's simultaneous existence in the Lifestream and the Planet, and his manifestations through Jenova. Sephiroth is a plural noun in Hebrew the singular is Sephirah (also spelled Sefira). Sephiroth is named for the סְפִירוֹת Səphīrōth (medieval Hebrew form of Sephirot). Believing that he is the chosen one, he decides to become a god and rule the planet, becoming cruel and sadistic in the process. Finally learning the truth, Sephiroth goes insane, rebels from Shinra, and sets Nibelheim on fire. Sephiroth then proceeds to Shinra Manor to search for possible clues of his origins. His positive attitude did not last long until he, Zack Fair, and Cloud Strife ventured in the mako reactor in Nibelheim. His outstanding performance in the battlefield made him a celebrity war hero and an inspiration. that was idolized by many in terms of his swordsmanship skills, intellectual actions, and discipline. In English, he was voiced by Lance Bass in Kingdom Hearts, George Newbern, who voiced Superman in the Injustice video games, in most appearances, and Tyler Hoechlin in the Final Fantasy VII remake.īefore, Sephiroth was once a first class SOLDIER from Shinra Inc. In Japanese, he was voiced by Shin'ichirō Miki, who also voiced Assassin in Fate/stay night, in Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring and Toshiyuki Morikawa in all other appearances. Originally a famous SOLDIER before being driven to madness, he is Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart's arch-nemesis (after he killed both Cloud's mother and Tifa's father), and quite possibly the most famous villain in the entire Final Fantasy franchise.
