Line #42 Sandbox/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridgedAntagonists


1	[[foldercontrol]]
2
3	!!Main Villains
4
5	[[folder:Sephiroth]]
6	->'''Voiced by:''' Mike "Ovarku" Varker
7
8	* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the games, Sephiroth always felt isolated from other people because of his background, but still made efforts to be sociable to his peers before his descent into madness and villainy. Here, he almost constantly agonized over his lack of direction, fulfillment, and most of all, a nurturing mother figure in his otherwise enviable life as an accomplished war hero. The result is a far more malicious and spiteful version of Sephiroth than his game counterpart, one who would [[spoiler:singularly murder Cloud's mother so Cloud would experience the same kind of torment he himself endured]].
9	* AdaptationalBadass: The UI gives him 9999 HP and MP during Cloud's retelling of the Nibelheim incident, which is impossible in-game.
10	* {{BFS}}: His own seven-foot-long katana, Masamune. Apparently the wounds it makes can be mistaken for ones inflicted by Cloud's own Buster Sword.
11	* BigBad: He takes the reins of main villain once he kills President Shinra and (inadvertently) frames the heroes at the end of season 1, resulting in a series-long manhunt from both sides.
12	* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Inverted. When Cloud's party encounters him on the ship to Costa del Sol, he says he has absolutely no idea who Cloud is or about his razing of Nibelheim, saying, "I think I'd remember something like that." However, when he and Cloud meet again at the rebuilt Nibelheim, he once again acts familiar with Cloud.
13	%%* ColdHam: He stands out among the series' more [[EvilIsHammy over-the-top villains]].
14	* CreepyMonotone: He speaks with an indifferent yet ominous baritone voice. This extends all the way to him [[DullSurprise screaming while falling into a ravine]].
15	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Taken to a tragic extreme with him, since he grew up never knowing anything about his mother except her name, Jenova.
16	* FallenHero: He was one of Shinra's most accomplished war heroes, not to mention Cloud's teenage idol. But then he found out he was a lab experiment created as Shinra's puppet to further their goals to TakeOverTheWorld, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation and it all went downhill from there]].
17	%%* FreudianExcuse: His obsession with Jenova is presented in a different light than his canon counterpart.
18	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: He didn't exactly take it well when he discovered he was spawned from the same alien life form as the Mako-infused abominations produced in the reactor near Nibelheim, nor that he was created as a tool to guide his employers to the Promised Land and secure their total control of the planet.
19	%%* HalfHumanHybrid: He's a human being who Shinra infused with Jenova's cells before his birth in
20	%%
21	%%[[spoiler:
22	* IJustWantToBeLoved: Sephiroth isn't obsessed with Jenova like his canon counterpart so much as the idea of meeting the mother he never knew. He also says at one point before his descent into villainy that he'd trade away all of his fame, glory, and status just to experience a mother's love.
23	* KnightOfCerebus: Unlike the [[ComedicSociopathy hilariously inept and evil Shinra executives]], virtually nothing about him or what he does is played for comedy, and he's had a direct hand in making Cloud and Tifa into the broken people they are at the beginning of the series.
24	* {{Leitmotif}}: He has two: the first is the OminousLatinChanting of his name from "One-Winged Angel" (his iconic boss fight theme), used as a {{Sting}} whenever he makes a sudden dramatic appearance; the second is his actual theme from the game, "Those Chosen by the Planet", which plays over his more extensive scenes.
25	* MythologyGag: His first line ("Good to see you, Cloud") is a nod to his first line in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren''.
26	* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: He makes his mark as one of the series' most unsettling characters with his [[KnightOfCerebus humorless nature]], [[CreepyMonotone droning voice]], and [[HellIsThatNoise a torrent of disturbing images and sounds that floods Cloud's mind]] when he first makes himself known to the party.
27	* NotSoAboveItAll: For all his exasperation towards Cloud's obnoxious fanboying, he admitted to liking one of his lame [[OneLiner One-Liners]] ("Sorry to ''cut'' this meeting ''short''"), and used it against Tifa.
28	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He burned Nibelheim to the ground and murdered President Shinra when he came to believe he was the last remaining Cetra, created as a science experiment to help Shinra assume total control of the planet.
29	* VillainousRescue: Sephiroth busts out Cloud's party when they get imprisoned at Shinra HQ. Subverted when this leads to them getting OutOfTheFryingPan once they find he's also murdered President Shinra, giving Rufus the perfect incentive to pin the act on them.
30	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: His StartOfDarkness in episode 11 paints him as a self-consciously empty and unloved man whose desire for a greater purpose than the life Shinra laid out for him eventually drove him insane. Not to mention he was partnered with an obnoxious {{Fanboy}} who'd rather [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee squee over him]] than [[LackOfEmpathy pay any mind to his existential troubles]] on the day he finally snapped.
31	* YouKilledMyFather: Cloud and Tifa respectively lost their mother and father to Sephiroth during the Nibelheim incident, and are driven to hunt him down and make him pay; Cloud especially, since Sephiroth personally revealed how he murdered Cloud's mother to spite him. [[spoiler:Or so he recalls.]]
32	[[/folder]]
33
34	[[folder:Jenova]]
35	* GreaterScopeVillain: She is the genetic mother of the BigBad, and her legacy kicks off his StartOfDarkness, yet she has little direct involvement in the plot otherwise.
36	* KnightOfCerebus: Like Sephiroth, the humor stops at the mere mention of her name.
37	* MistakenIdentity: Shinra assumed her to be a Cetra, the original natives of the Planet, which led her "son" to believe that he was the Planet's rightful ruler.
38	* OffWithHisHead: Her headless corpse is kept on display in the top-secret 60th floor of Shinra HQ.
39	[[/folder]]
40
41	!!Shinra, Inc.
42
43	[[folder:As a Whole]]
44	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original game, Shinra somewhat successfully maintain the ruse of a VillainWithGoodPublicity. Here, they don't ''try'' to hide how horrendous their actions are because they're that confident there's no one to oppose them.
45	* BewareTheSillyOnes: They act like a bunch of Saturday morning cartoon villains, yet their actions directly result in the deaths of thousands of innocent lives across the planet, and could result in TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt if allowed to succeed, making them no less of a threat than the BigBad.
46	* CardCarryingVillain: The lot of them practically wear the "I am an evil mega conglomerate exec" slogan on their sleeves.
47	* IncompetenceInc: Within a single quarter of a year, each member of Shinra's board of executives (sans [[OnlySaneMan Reeve]]) manages to go 700% overbudget, wasting billions of gil on their asinine activities simply because they're either that insane, or so they can set up an IncrediblyLamePun.
48	* MegaCorp: They're supposed to be an energy company, yet their monopoly on Mako energy makes them influential enough to serve as a worldwide dictatorship, complete with their own armed military force.
49	* {{Nepotism}}: We have a vice president who is the original president's son and heir; the president's cousin is one of the board of directors; and said cousin's daughter works at the front desk of their building. Besides the son, who is the most competent of the bunch, one is a space-obsessed buffoon and the other is a casually racist airhead, making it clear that they weren't hired for their experience.
50	* StupidEvil: The company's acts of villainy are not only absolutely absurd (e.g., [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill crushing thousands of innocents in a failed attempt at killing five to six people]]), they are also incredibly costly and hurtful towards the company's image. Rufus makes efforts to upend this in favor of PragmaticVillainy, which doesn't sit well with the more trigger-happy execs.

52
53	[[folder:President Shinra]]
54	[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_shinra.png]]
55	->'''Voiced by:''' Graham Stark
56
57	The unscrupulous president and namesake of Shinra, Inc. who is not above using horrendous acts of terrorism to achieve his goals. Usually articulates his schemes with superfluous metaphors.
58	----
59	* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: None of his dialogue is properly accented, with weird pauses and rhythm.
60	* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Cloud is personally familiar with President Shinra from his days in SOLDIER, but the president neither knows nor cares who he is. [[spoiler:Justified, as Cloud was never really in SOLDIER.]]
61	* DeathByIrony: Sort of. His last words to AVALANCHE were that the next time they see each other, one of them would be dead. Clearly, he didn't mean the dead one to be himself.
62	* DiscOneFinalBoss: He's presented as the BigBad of Season 1 before Sephiroth murders him and becomes the primary BigBad.
63	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For what it's worth, he does seem to genuinely care about his family. He is patient with his cousin, Palmer, gave his niece a job as a receptionist, and refers to his son as his "special boy".
64	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He mocks Reeve for his grievances on where Shinra's budget is going, but agrees with him that Palmer's InsaneTrollLogic to buying space[[note]]by burning billions of gil so the smoke can deliver the payment to space[[/note]] is a legitimate concern.
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Rufus Shinra]]
68	[[quoteright:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_rufus.png]]
69	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/XanderMobus
70
71	President Shinra's pampered son and Vice President who, due to an unforeseen vacancy, takes the reins from his father as head of Shinra, Inc. Although he's just as much an immoral dictator as his father, Rufus prefers to use a much less violent and costly approach to dealing with AVALANCHE and Sephiroth.
72	----
73	* PragmaticVillainy: Zig-zagged. While he tells Cloud's party that he gets giddy over his father's acts of senseless violence and destruction, he also recognizes that they were more counterproductive than they had any reason to be.
74	[[/folder]]
75
76	[[folder:Reeve Tuesti]]
77	[[quoteright:144:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_reeve.png]]
78	->'''Voiced by:''' [[Creator/{{Lanipator}} Nick "Lanipator" Landis]]
79
80	The Executive Chief Director of Urban Development.
81	[[/folder]]
82
83	[[folder:Heidegger]]
84	[[quoteright:173:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_heidegger.png]]
85	->'''Voiced by:''' Ty "Aramek" Konzak
86
87	The Executive Chief Director of Public Security who is responsible for Shinra's more senseless acts of destruction. Later becomes Shinra's head of social media.
88	----
89	* AxCrazy: Only he would come up with the idea to drop an entire section of Midgar's upper plate to crush the underground slums below, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill just to kill five or six people]].
90	* BeardOfEvil: He sports a thick beard, and is one of Shinra's more sinister members.
91	* CycleOfRevenge: Whenever Shinra's usual plan to [[BuyThemOff bribe witnesses, judges, and police officers to overlook Heidegger's crimes of assault]] doesn't work, Heidegger's response is to assault the person who refused, [[RevealingCoverup causing new bribes to be issued]].
92	* DumbassHasAPoint: Despite his outright insane problem-solving tactics, he doesn't think it's a good idea to invite people he and Rufus have never met onto their boat, especially since Rufus also plans on giving said group spare military and naval uniforms so they can blend in with the crowd. That said, he loses points when Rufus discovers that Heidegger found out about Cloud and company when they were fighting in the hold, but instead of trying to capture them, he makes several posts about it on social media.
93	* MurderIsTheBestSolution: He's always keen on murdering his enemies in the most over-the-top and impractical ways possible. Thousands of innocents have lost their lives because of him.
94	[[/folder]]
95
96	[[folder:Scarlet]]
97	[[quoteright:89:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_scarlet.png]]
98	->'''Voiced by:''' [[Creator/AmberLeeConnors Amber Lee "ShudoRanmaru" Connors]]
99
100	TheBaroness ([[InsistentTerminology not Executive]]) of Weapons Development.
101	----
102	* AllWomenAreLustful: Just about everything she says and does comes with a DoubleEntendre.
103	* BadBoss: She kills one of her own {{Mooks}} for saying they're framing Barret and Dyne for the destruction of Corel. The others react in horror and she clarifies that he's new.
104	* TheBaroness: [[InvokedTrope By her own admission]].
105	* DisproportionateRetribution: Her response to the meltdown at the Corel reactor is to destroy the village built next to it and frame the survivors, rather than conduct an actual investigation and admit that Shinra fucked up. [[CreateYourOwnHero This is why Barret went into the terrorism business]].
106	* EvilCounterpart: Scarlet is Tifa's on the Shinra board of directors, being the sexy, manipulative lady member of the team. However, while Tifa does sincerely care about her friends under it all and doesn't ''intentionally'' manipulate Cloud with her sex appeal, Scarlet has no redeeming qualities and once had sex with Reeve just so she could crack a joke about how terrible he was at it.
107	* EvilIsHammy: Not nearly as hammy as Palmer or Hojo, but Miss Connors still appears to be having a bit of fun in this role.
108	* IncomingHam: Her rather loud NoblewomansLaugh tends to be the giveaway for when she's about to enter the scene.
109	* InconsistentSpelling: Her canonical name is spelled with a single "T", yet the credits call her "Scarlett".
110	%%* NoblewomansLaugh
111	%%* TheVamp: An incredibly petty version
112	[[/folder]]
113
114	[[folder:Palmer]]
115	[[quoteright:159:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_palmer.png]]

121	[[folder:Doctor Hojo]]
122	[[quoteright:109:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_hojo.png]]
123	->'''Voiced by:''' [[Creator/EdwynTiong Edwyn "Omahdon" Tiong]]
124
125	* ArchEnemy: Vincent harbors quite the murderous grudge against him, and joins Cloud's party for the express purpose of exacting his revenge against Hojo.
126	[[/folder]]
127
128	!!The Turks
129
130	Shinra's covert ops unit who [[OvertOperative don't know the meaning of the word "covert"]]. They become a constant nuisance to the party while trailing Sephiroth.
131
132	[[folder:As a Whole]]
133	* BunnyEarsLawyer: They're just as ridiculous as their Shinra employers, yet they somehow ''always'' manage to stay one step ahead of the heroes.
134	* GoldfishPoopGang: Apart from their act of demolishing Sector 7 and killing thousands of innocents, they never really pose much of a threat to the party.
135	* OvertOperative: They're supposed to be TheMenInBlack, but with their quirky personalities and tendency to let their true motives slip, they could do a better job at it.
136	[[/folder]]
137
138	[[folder:Tseng]]
139	[[quoteright:118:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_tseng.png]]
140	->'''Voiced by:''' Scott "[=KaiserNeko=]" Frerichs
141
142	* AnnoyingLaugh: He has a bizarre laugh[[note]]"MAH! MA-AH-AH-AH-AGH!"[[/note]] that's described by Scarlet as the sound of a dying penguin.
143	* BadLiar: He does quite a poor job of dodging questions.
144	-->'''Elena:''' How do you think [[SayingTooMuch Sephiroth]] takes his coffee, by the way?\
145	'''Cloud:''' Wait, you guys are hunting down Sephiroth?\
146	'''Tseng:''' Sephiroth? Who's Sephiro-- SCATTER!
147	* TheComicallySerious: It doesn't get much more comically serious than announcing when your laughter is going to start and stop.
148	* CreepyMonotone: As an Creator/AlanRickman parody, he most certainly fits the bill.
149	* FauxAffablyEvil: He speaks in a polite and sophisticated manner, even when announcing that the heroes only have one minute to live before Sector 7 falls.
150	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Tseng channels the voice of Creator/AlanRickman, particularly from his role as Hans Gruber from ''Film/DieHard''.
151	* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: He verbally expresses his emotions whenever he feels them. Probably for the best, since his [[DullSurprise lackluster tone of voice]] makes it difficult to tell.
152	* WouldHitAGirl: He strikes Aerith right when Cloud orders him not to lay a hand on her, just to prove he doesn't take orders from anyone.
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:Reno]]
156	[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_reno.png]]
157	->'''Voiced by:''' Curtis "[=Takahata101=]" Arnott
158
159	* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: It's his job to be this for Aerith while she's under house arrest, and boy does he hate it when she wanders off.
160	* DeadpanSnarker: He usually lays on the snark thick when forced to deal with a situation he hates.
161	* FieryRedhead: He has the shortest fuse among the Turks, not helped by his duty to monitor Aerith, the biggest ditz on the Planet.
162	* GagPenis: By his own claim, he's incredibly well-endowed. Unfortunately for him, half of his genitalia gets destroyed when Tifa [[GroinAttack shatters his pelvis]].
163	* IgnoredEpiphany: He has a HeelRealization that's PlayedForLaughs when he finds out how the [[NoodleIncident falafel stand incident]] has affected his public standing. He's on the verge of rethinking his life before noticing Aerith and Cloud have escaped under his watch.
164	* JustFollowingOrders: He doles out this excuse for detonating Sector 7's upper plate and killing thousands of innocent lives.
165	* NoodleIncident: He's no longer trusted to do things on his own after an incident at a falafel stand. If it happens to be the one that the Shinra execs like, this would explain a lot.
166	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: During his second fight with Cloud's party, he runs away with his tail and [[GroinAttack surviving testicle]] between his legs once he comes face-to-face with Tifa again.
167	* TrashTalk: He and Cloud indulge in quite a bit of verbal back-and-forth whenever they appear together.
168	[[/folder]]
169
170	[[folder:Rude]]
171	[[quoteright:158:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_rude.png]]
172	->'''Voiced by:''' Marc Swint
173
174	* CoolShades: Wears them even at night and in caves.
175	* NotSoStoic: Despite his cool demeanor, he doesn't have very much patience for Elena. He also [[INeedToGoIronMyDog turns to mush and backs away]] when pressed to fight [[VillainousCrush Tifa]].
176	* OnlySaneMan: He's the only Turk--and very nearly the only character entire series--to lack any eccentric or unusual character trait.
177	* TheStoic: Remains calm and collected at all times, unless he's dealing with [[PerkyFemaleMinion Elena]].
178	* VillainousCrush: Just like in the game, he has a crush on Tifa and backs away in embarrassment when Reno orders him to "take her out".
179	* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: His name makes him an easy target for {{Incredibly Lame Pun}}s, to his dismay.
180	-->'''Cloud:''' Wow, you are one mean dude!\
181	'''Elena:''' Mean? He's 100%...''rude!'' (giggles)\
182	'''Rude:''' Please don't try to make that a thing...

186	[[quoteright:98:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_elena.png]]
187	->'''Voiced by:''' Morgan Berry
188
189	* CannotKeepASecret: For a member of Shinra's covert ops division, she sucks at withholding their agendas and personal history to their enemies, such as their pursuit of Sephiroth or Reno's testicular surgery.
190	* DumbBlonde: On top of being blonde, she doesn't quite grasp that she's no longer an intern, and doesn't need to get ''everyone'' coffee.
191	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Her primary concern is figuring out people's coffee preferences instead of doing her job.
192	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Her voice sounds like an impersonation of Creator/JennySlate.
193	* PerkyFemaleMinion: She's the most upbeat and energetic of the Turks, and a frequent annoyance to them.

198	[[folder:Don Corneo]]
199	[[quoteright:181:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_doncorneo.png]]
200	->'''Voiced by:''' Josh "Tomamoto" Tomar
201
202	* DepravedBisexual: Cloud's attempt at pulling an UnsettlingGenderReveal on him backfires for this very reason; turns out guys are his preference.
203	* DirtyOldMan: He's [[FatBastard a plump, middle-aged man]] whose mansion doubles as his own private brothel, complete with a BDSM dungeon in the basement. He's also susceptible to revealing valuable intel if he thinks it'll turn people on.
204	* TheDon: He's a big name in Wall Market in Midgar's Sector 6, and he has enough influence to figure out the location to AVALANCHE's hidden base, easy as it may be.
205	* FatBastard: He's quite bulky on top of being a perverted scoundrel.
206	* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: Episode 22 reveals "Don" really is his name, and is short for "Donald".
207	* SissyVillain: He speaks with a flamboyant lisp, wears a loud, red coat, and holds "auditions" for young women to whore themselves out for his pleasure. Not to mention, he turns out to be a DepravedBisexual.
208	* VillainousCrush: He develops a bit of a soft spot for Cloud, a.k.a. "Thunderhead", even thinking that his real name is beautiful after finding out he's a man. Not that this stops him from dumping him down a death trap.

211	[[folder:Ashton the Zolom]]
212	[[quoteright:293:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_zolom.png]]
213
214	A 30-foot-long serpent that lurks in the marshes outside the Mythril Mines, always ready to pounce on unsuspecting travelers.
215	----
216	* AndroclesLion: He grants Cloud's party passage through the marshlands after Aerith heals him.
217	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: He makes the sounds of a rattlesnake, despite not having a rattle.
218	* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: He's a colossal serpent with a two-pronged tail.
219	* FluffyTheTerrible: Ashton is a pretty ordinary name for such a dangerous monster.
220	* NonMaliciousMonster: He attacks the party not out of any killing intent, but grief over losing his mate to Sephiroth.
221	* SnakesAreSinister: Subverted. His kind have a reputation as formidable, traveler-killing beasts, but he's quite docile once Aerith heals him.
222	[[/folder]]
223
224	[[folder:Dyne]]
225	[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff7_dyne.png]]
226	->'''Voiced by:''' Jason Marnocha
227
228	* AndYourLittleDogToo: He threatens to rid the world of every last man, woman, child, and dog. [[BerserkButton Barret doesn't take kindly to that last point]].
229	* ArmCannon: Just like Barret, he had the same operation to graft a gun to his arm after both of their hands were shot off.
230	* CargoShip: InUniverse; Dyne has a bizarre fixation on coal, to the point that every other line of dialogue he speaks has coal in it somewhere. So much so that when he's DrivenToMadness, he eats coal, worships it as his "mistress", proclaims that he can hear the voice of coal itself compelling him to kill, and even calls his gun-arm a "coal gun."
231	* DeepSouth: After he goes off the deep end, Dyne's accent changes noticeably, making him sound like the villain in a Western movie. It would be PlayedForLaughs if not for how utterly deranged the man's become.
232	* DisappearedDad: He is this for Marlene, believed to have died during Shinra's raid on Corel.
233	* DisneyVillainDeath: He [[DrivenToSuicide kills himself]] by dropping himself off a cliff. And exploding.
234	* DrivenToMadness: He goes from an ordinary enough guy to a psychotic gunman after seeing Shinra use his own coal-driven livelihood to burn his hometown to the ground.
235	* DrivenToSuicide: Just like the game, he notes after Barret beats him that [[TheseHandsHaveKilled his hands are too stained]] to ever hold his daughter again, and he takes his own life after telling Barret not to succumb to blind rage.
236	* EvilFormerFriend: He was once Barret's best friend before the destruction of his hometown turned him into a murderous psychopath.
237	* EvilSoundsRaspy: He speaks a chilling rasp in his throat when he loses his mind.
238	* FreudianExcuse: His reasons for going on an [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge insane killing spree]] is given a little more clarity than in the games: with Shinra squandering the planet's resources and burning Corel to the ground for seemingly no reason, Dyne figured he didn't need his own reason to spread death and destruction as well.
239	* KnightOfCerebus: He's the only villain besides Sephiroth whose actions and madness are played with absolutely zero humor. The only thing remotely humorous about him is his absurd obsession with coal, and even that's played to a disturbing degree that only enhances how unhinged he is.
240	* MadeOfIron: He not only survives falling into a deep crevice, but also somehow takes a direct hit from Barret's grenade launcher with minimal injuries, [[LampshadeHanging as Barret points out]]. Despite this, Cloud is certain he's dead when he is engulfed in a fiery explosion.
241	* OffingTheOffspring: Like in the game, Dyne is so crazy that he thinks of killing Marlene so she can be with her mother. Luckily, Barret stops him before he gets anywhere near her.
242	* PrecisionFStrike: In a series where everyone uses the F-word on a semi-regular basis (albeit with a SoundEffectBleep), he's one of the very few characters who says "Don't fuck up" completely uncensored.
243	* RedemptionRejection: Barret offers him a place in the party by his side with the promise of involving coal, but Dyne turns him down, saying "[[DrivenToSuicide [his] coal's burnt out]]."
244	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Instead of specifically targeting Shinra for the destruction of his home, Dyne just kills indiscriminately. After all, if Shinra had no reason for their actions, he figures he shouldn't have one, either.
245	* ShadowArchetype: He serves as an example of what Barret could become if he let himself become consumed by anger and hatred, particularly towards Shinra. Barret is so shaken by his encounter that he changes his stance from just blowing up Mako reactors and sticking it to Shinra to genuinely trying to save the planet.
246	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Shinra destroyed everyone and everything he cared about, which drove him to retaliate by senselessly attacking people at random.
