~ 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.
Codex Statistics
Tier: High 3-A
Name: Yazoo
Origin: Final Fantasy VII
Sex: Male
Age: Around 2 years old, mentally a teenager
Classification: Remnant of Sephiroth, Embodiment of Sephiroth’s Allure
Alignment: Chaotic Evil (The Remnants of Sephiroth are each extremely immature and represent merely fragments of Jenova's destructive nature. They each have little regard for anything around them, needlessly destroying whatever they can for the sake of bringing despair to the people of Gaia. They're also extremely selfish, hoping that through enough senseless destruction, they can gain acceptance from their mother)
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: Multi Supercluster level (Comparable to Kadaj, who is stated to be just as powerful as Sephiroth during the original game, who can create a dimension containing starry skies and multiple galaxies. He is also consistently stated to be the strongest character in the series, placing him above Bahamut Fury, who can also create a dimension with a starry sky, and Knights of the Round, which can destroy its own dimension containing a galaxy cluster)
Durability: Multi Supercluster level
Striking Strength: Multi Supercluster Class
Lifting Strength: Athletic Human
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), Superhuman with Motorcycle (The average motorcycle can reach speeds between 80 and 165 mph)
Attack Speed: FTL+
Reaction Speed: FTL+ (Comparable to Kadaj comparable to Sephiroth during the original game; Sephiroth could react to the comet of his Super Nova)
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, Far Higher with Materia and Geostigma
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)
Powers and Techniques
Possible Ice Manipulation (Has a chance of attacking with ice using Freeze), possible Earth Manipulation (Has a chance of attacking with earth using Break), possible Air Manipulation (Has a chance of attacking with wind using Tornado), possible Fire Manipulation (Has a chance of attacking with fire using Flare)
Equipment
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:
Notable 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.
Other
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.
