Zenos... isn't. He's just snoozy boy who wants another big fight.
Ty for this btw. I constantly see people compare him to Sephiroth but it’s kind of an insult to Sephiroth. Sephy at least had depth to him, and he was actually a hero before he learned of his roots, but even after that he at least had a goal that extended to more than just “lol i wanna fight.” Or they get the whole experiment thing wrong. Sephiroth was experimented on without even knowing, Zenos is implied to have done it on himself.
