The wave of his hair, the slight twist in his torso, and the special effect as he activates Meteor, all create a sense of movement. The translucent parts in his silver hair and the paintwork of his subtle grin give this statue a realistic, almost eerie feel.

This bust reminds us of the Sephiroth that burned down the town of Nibelheim, in what would come to be infamously known as the Nibelheim Incident. This atrocity, set five years before the events of FINAL FANTASY VII, is perhaps at the root of everything that would follow.
