Underrated Villain of The Day - Professor Hojo

Wanna know why Sephiroth had a whole breakdown at Nibelheim? Well you can thank this bastard right here. Professor Hojo is Sephiroth father, Shinra’s head scientist, and quite one of the biggest bastards in the entire series, right next to Kefka, and his son.

Hojo is perfectly described by his son as a “walking mass of complexes,” a literal narcissist and a textbook mad scientist who cares only about his research and theories. He performs many horrific experiments on unwilling human subjects with no regard for their welfare, and eventually even experiments on himself using Jenova cells. However what always stood out to me are how involved he actually is in the narrative of the original game and the expanded upon lore from both the compilation and remake, along with the relationship with his son. Between the abominations in his lab, deepground, Sephiroth, and literally all of Soldier, Hojo has quite the rap sheet that we’ve yet to see all of.

As for his son? Sephiroth was a result of the Jenova Project, something Hojo himself worked on, meaning that the poor kid had to put up with this man since he was in the womb. Sure other scientists were involved, including Gast Faremis, but through the series it’s consistently implied that while Hojo may not have been around that often, whenever he was near the young Sephiroth it was a bad time in and outside of the labs, and the worst part is that Sephiroth didn't even know that this man was his biological father. Yet despite how much suffering he’s caused towards his son, Hojo sees Sephiroth as his biggest success, however in his eyes Sephiroth is just a literal monument to his own genius rather than an actual person. So even his appreciation for his son is just him stroking his own ego! What an absolute dick!

It’s honestly amazing how consistently twisted Hojo is, and how he consistently manages to have a huge impact on the lives of many characters in the world of FF7, even the Big Bad Sephiroth. Like no wonder the One Winged Angel is a momma’s boy. His dad was a genuine piece of shit!

Edit: Because I KNOW someone will bring this up…

…Yep. This tells me everything I need to know about how far he’s willing to go for science (dude that is a person and an ANIMAL. WHY TF DO YOU WANT THEM TO BREED WITH EACH OTHER YOU SICK FU-).

Friendly reminder that literally every parental figure in Sephiroth's life, whether biological, surrogate, or potential, completely used and/or abandoned him. :')
