How did Bachman become a Sephiroth clone/robed man? Was he experimented on because he kept asking too many questions and trying to release what he filmed in Robio, or did he just like get infected/absorbed J-cells while he was there with Angeal and Miniroth? If so, doesn't it imply that the J-cells were in the air or something?

So I did some thinking about this. Bachman never elaborated on who his "boss" was, aka the guy that wouldn't let him show his footage. I have a theory that it was probably Hojo, both as a means of keeping an eye on his son and because he likely knew about the area and its connection to Jenova. The fact that Bachman even knows about Jenova or Reunion at all is a big indicator of that.

Additionally, when gathering the missing soldiers, one of the troopers mentions that the corpses will be taken back to R&D, aka Hojo's department. One of the dead troopers was named Marco. And who was one of the robed guys in Remake? Marco. Kind of a weird coincidence.

Anyway, I think it's likely that Hojo experimented on Bachman somewhere down the line and turned him into a Black Robe. Either that or Bachman grew obsessed with the region and requested it all on his own. Maybe Hojo did that to him to shut him up. Or maybe Bachman got a bit too in over his head and kept trying to relive the glory days by seeking a deeper connection to Robio, accidentally getting himself altered in the process. There's many ways they could have explored it. Either way, I definitely think Hojo was the culprit.

It's either that or the region mutated Bachman's body via prolonged exposure. The others remark that they have no idea what the region might physically do to them if they remained there for too long. Alissa obviously got mutated by Jenova over time. And Angeal and Sephiroth wouldn't have been impacted due to the implanted Jenova cells inside of them. But Bachman? If it wasn't from Hojo, it was probably due to exposure. That's the only other explanation I can think of.

I think the most tragic part of Ever Crisis giving us Miniroth is that we see just how good he was.

We crack jokes all the time about how much of a puppy Zack is, but Miniroth is arguably only a few degrees off from him with some RBF. He cares about doing good, about protecting.

Knowing that that's his starting point makes the build up and eventual culmination into full on break down and the Nibelheim incident just have a bit more of a knife twist to it. Cause now we know it's not just Angeal and Genesis that he lost, and he hasn't always been the stoic, refuses to get close to anyone aside from Genesis and Angeal SOLDIER war hero.

We've gotten a broader scope of just how great of a man Shinra, and to a great extent specifically Hojo, robbed the world of for the sake of their end goals and bottom lines.

I don't mourn the Sephiroth that summons Meteor to try to clean slate the planet. I mourn the man he could've been instead.
