One of the most striking aspects of the game is the headless Jenova. Most games have blocky or chibi characters, but Jenova is drawn in an incredibly realistic way. The stark contrast between the headless Jenova and the chibi-like characters makes this image a jarring contrast. Especially with the short, lopsided look that she gives off, the image is downright disturbing. Regardless of the fact that Jenova is headless, the game still has the ability to evoke a strong emotional reaction.
Why did Sephiroth cut off Jenova’s head?
The Cells of a Headless JENOVA were released into the lifestream of many people, and a number of them became infected by the disease. The body overcompensates to rid itself of these cells, causing sores and scarring. The infection of the entire population also causes Sephiroth to manifest in Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo.
Unlike the other Jenova forms, Jenova’s genetic structure is a two-way conduit. It can acquire the traits of its prey and inject those genes to make them more violent and vicious. Jenova’s genetic structure uses this ability to destroy all life on planets. It can also absorb memories from its prey to disguise itself as its loved ones. However, it has no clear definite form, so there is still some speculation about what it actually looks like.
Does the Watch of flowing time work on energy collectors?
Originally, the headless character of Jenova the BIRTH was not intended to be an extraterrestrial lifeform, but rather a different body part. According to Cloud, Jenova’s arm is the one he’s most familiar with, and his name was intended to refer to it. Eventually, Jenova was supposed to be more than four different forms, with each form bearing a different inscription. Today, the headless character is more likely a gene than an extraterrestrial lifeform. It is also unclear what made Jenova an arm or a leg, but a variety of theories are available.
In the video game “Compilation,” Jenova has only one line of dialogue. After Cloud defeats him, JenovaLIFE reappears in the game. The headless character says, “Because you’re just a puppet!” This is pronounced in a very peculiar way. Nonetheless, it is the first time the character has a line of dialogue, and the character’s role in this game is not yet completely clear.
Jenova Project
In Jenova: Birth, the mysterious creature is known as “the arm.” Unlike the original film, the series makes clear that Jenova is not an extraterrestrial lifeform, but rather a gene, region of the brain, or another genetic trait. Jenova aims to destroy all life on the planets they inhabit and is likely to possess more than one form. In some instances, the Jenova takes on the appearance of human loved ones, such as a human girl named Cetra.
Its goal is to feed on the life force of the planet and destroy it. The power of Jenova’s mind is so great that even Sephiroth becomes obsessed with the creature, making him want to destroy the entire planet. The story of the Headless Jenova Project also hints at the Buddhist concept of Samsara, the cycle of life and soul reincarnation. Jenova’s final and possibly most true form is SYNTHESIS.
Jenova’s genetic structure
Although not native to the FFVII Planet, Jenova crashed there after the collapse of the Cetra civilization. Jenova’s bodies were frozen in the North Crater, where the surviving organisms killed it. Shinra mistakenly identified Jenova’s corpse as that of the Cetra civilization. As a result, Jenova’s genetic structure and genetic makeup do not follow the usual laws of the Universe. However, the organism’s individual cells retain life.
The Jenova genetic structure is a two-way conduit, allowing it to take in the traits of its prey while inserting its own genes. As it destroyed the life of the planets it inhabits, Jenova absorbed the memories of the prey. Then it used this material to mutate its prey into monsters. But the Jenova genetic structure has its limits. For example, it may have injected the genetic material of a planet, like Earth’s, into the bodies of its prey.
Jenova’s food cravings
Jenova has developed a taste for human food. She enjoys spicy and sweet foods, curries, and chocolate, and dislikes bland, unflavored foods. However, she has a weakness for bacon, which is a revelation to her fellow human explorers. Jenova also enjoys fruit juices, hot chocolate, and sweet tea. This is probably where her strange obsession with food began. It’s unclear when her food cravings began, but they certainly haven’t gone away.
As with Lavos, Jenova has a two-way genetic structure. It can assimilate the cells of prey, gaining traits from them. Moreover, it can insert its own genes to transform its prey into violent monsters and destroy entire planets. It is also capable of absorbing the memories of its prey and disguising itself as a loved one. This is perhaps the main reason why Jenova has such strong food cravings.
Cloud’s defeat of Jenova
Sephiroth is one of the three evil spirits in the series, and Cloud is one of them. Jenova is composed of three dissimilar parts, but they can work together in the same direction. The three revenants are sent to search for Jenova’s final remains, which Cloud was unable to find. Nevertheless, Cloud manages to defeat Jenova and save his friend. In the process, he also helps Aerith, who had aided him in the past.
Sephiroth is another evil spirit, and Cloud has a kinship with him. Cloud’s emotional damage from losing Aerith has left him unable to trust the other characters, and his fight with Sephiroth is more difficult than expected. His rebirth is a bittersweet process for Cloud, and it is a great honor to be a part of such a powerful and noble being.
