~ Yazoo to Reno |
Background
Yazoo is one of three Remnants of Sephiroth, who serves as the personification of Sephiroth’s physical might. Following Sephiroth’s defeat at the hands of Cloud Strife at the end of the original Final Fantasy VII, he decided to return in the form of three distinct avatars, who would adopt different parts of his personality.
Born as a puppet alongside two other brothers (Kadaj and Loz), Yazoo’s main goal on the mortal world was to not only spread the terrible plague of Geostigma, but also locate and join with the head of his “mother,” Jenova; doing so would allow for a final Reunion, that would bring Sephiroth back to the living.
Yazoo is much more cool-headed than his brothers and is shown to be much less prone to outbursts, although he can still give into emotion when his mother is insulted. After a large-scale fight through the planet against Cloud and his friends, the Remnants were finally able to recover Jenova’s head within Midgar.
Yazoo raced through Midgar alongside Loz, whilst their brother Kadaj fought against Cloud Strife to retrieve Jenova’s head. As they travelled through the streets, they were opposed by a group known as the Turks, who seemingly killed Yazoo and Loz in an explosion.
Several minutes later, after Kadaj reformed into Sephiroth, Cloud was able to face off against the former SOLDIER and win once again. While Cloud held Kadaj in his final moments, Yazoo reappeared and attacked Cloud with everything he had. However, as Aerith called down Healing Rain to finally end the conflict, Yazoo was dissolved into the Lifestream once and for all.
Powers and Stats
Tier: Likely 3-B, possibly 3-A
Name: Yazoo
Origin: Final Fantasy VII
Gender: Male
Age: Around 2 years old, mentally a teenager
Classification: Remnant of Sephiroth, Embodiment of Sephiroth’s Allure
Attack Potency: Likely Multi-Galaxy level, possibly Universe level (Should be similar to, if not a little weaker than, Kadaj, due to being a Remnant of Sephiroth like he; Yazoo was stated by Nomura to be just as powerful as Sephiroth during the original game; Sephiroth can use Super Nova, which has him create a dimension containing one galaxy with room for dozens more)
Dimensionality: 3-D
Travel Speed: Athletic Human (Is comparable to Cloud Strife, who can run at similar speeds to a Chocobo; Chocobo are said in the Dissidia Final Fantasy Museum to run at 20 mph), Subsonic with Motorcycle (The average motorcycle can reach speeds between 80 and 165 mph)
Combat Speed: Likely Massively FTL+
Reaction Speed: Likely Massively FTL+ (Should be just below Yazoo, who was stated by Nomura to be comparable to Sephiroth during the original game; Sephiroth could react to the comet of his Super Nova)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Likely Multi-Galactic Class, possibly Universe Class
Durability: Likely Multi-Galaxy level, possibly Universe level (Is similar to Kadaj, who himself is comparable to Sephiroth; Sephiroth can use Super Nova, which has him create a dimension containing one galaxy with room for dozens more)
Stamina: Superhuman (As a Remnant of Sephiroth, Yazoo should be comparable to Kadaj; both being able to travel alongside Kadaj and Yazoo throughout the planet on their quest to find Jenova, and never once showed signs of fatigue)
Range: Standard melee range, far higher with Materia and Geostigma
Weapons/Vehicles
- Velvet Nightmare: This is Yazoo’s primary weapon, which he is incredibly proficient with. This gun has two blades on the sides of its cannon, which provide the gun defences against other weapons.
- Motorcycle: Much like his brothers, Yazoo has a motorcycle that he uses to travel through the planet. Also much like his brothers, Yazoo is able to perform incredibly bombastic and reckless stunts that would be virtually impossible for a normal person.
- Shadow Creepers: Vicious and unsympathetic quadrupeds who were created from the Negative Lifestream, and can be summoned by Yazoo through waves of black smoke. These creatures are so vicious, that even if they are seriously injured or mutilated, they will continue chasing their target. Furthermore, anyone in contact with these creatures will be infected with Geostigma.
When Loz made his way into the Sector 5 church and faced off against Tifa Lockhart, he was able to acquire a box containing all of Cloud Strife’s Materia, which he brought back to Yazoo and Kadaj. Yazoo absorbed a few of these Materia into his body, with these being the Materia we know he absorbed:
Intelligence: Genius (As the most cool-headed and calm of the Remnants, Yazoo does not usually fall into the same bouts of anger and sadness that Kadaj and Loz do, which imparis their thinking. He should thus be comparable to, if not similar to Kadaj in combative intelligence, who was able to take on Cloud Strife)
Weaknesses: Despite being the most calm of the Sephiroth Remnants, Yazoo has a habit of being fairly cocky and looks down on opponents he views as weaker, which can cause him to highly underestimate people.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Geostigma: Also called Jenova’s Memetic Legacy, Geostigma is a horrible plague that Yazoo can inflict on others. Those infected with Geostigma will become infected with S-Cells and thus be subject to the Reunion. Those infected with Geostigma become extremely physically weak, and experience intolerable pain in the affected area that secretes a black ooze.
