Sephiroth is the silver-haired antagonist of Final Fantasy VII, a role-playing game first released in 1997, and his imposing presence has made him a lasting figure in gaming culture. The version here is credited to Sky Williams, a creator whose anime and gaming performances are widely shared as short clips for edits and reactions. Because the character is instantly recognisable, even a brief snippet works as shorthand for power and menace, which is why editors keep returning to it for villain entrances and dramatic reveals.
