Honestly, Cynthia's design would have been a great villain design too
I cried when cynthia killed dawn back at the realm of distortion
Lucas was so distraught. Had to play the rest of the game with just Lucas, Barry, and Rowan.
1:15 You know what, 'Sephiroth' and 'Cynthia' have the same syllable count, and even the same stress pattern. The vocals would work.

What do Cynthia and Sephiroth have in common? Their guest appearances in other games absolutely traumatized me as a child.

@@Lucky_RFMDACynthia, but the AI is unlocked, while at the same time her team has competitive movesets, items, and EVs.
No thumbnail or image has threatened my peace of mind more than this.
Imagine Garchomp using Draco Meteor when sent out... as it's 5th move.
Draco Meteor? It should immediately come into the battle and preemptively use Dragon Energy before the turn starts! And its move set is Earthquake, Scale Shot, Iron Head, _and Dragon Dance_
@@winterFox2rgarchomp doesn't learn dragon dance, it's swords dance. It's fast enough already anyways so that's just more damage

@@Mis7erSevenI swear I saw this quote in a ~2010 era Pokémon spoof video!
You can easily chant "CYNTHIA" on the chorus instead of Sephirot
This might as well have played when the door magically locks behind you after you enter her beach side villa
I appreciate the meme, but she literally just asks if you want to battle. She takes no for an answer.
@@yanyanchan2199 well then the meme has led me astray. I've never played the game myself, but i assumed the internet made a big deal out of it for good reason
@@_zealos_8213 Well it's still a surprised to walk into a house and the past champion that kicked many a kids ass is there and asks for a battle lol
As if Cynthia on her own wouldn't be scary enough...
Cynthia has entered the battle:
Fucking What
Cynthia uses LIGHT THAT SCORCHES THE SKY
@@bea_chanI believe the implication is that she is the one fighting and using moves instead of sending a Pokémon into battle like a trainer usually would. This is the reaction someone only accustomed to fighting with pokemon would have. Perhaps some sort of battle referee like they had in the anime would be reacting like this.
@@brodynintendo61 you enter the Champion's chamber, and she ominously congratulates you on making it here. You send out your starter, and wait for her to send out her first. She begins to unsheathe a long sword...
@@lilpetz500 ...but that's not all. A large black wing unfurls from behind her. She's not entirely human, is she?
Lore Accurate Cynthia:
Lore accurate Cynthia is probably this powerful, but definitely more friendly and benevolent. It's basically PTSD-caused fanon that she's a sadistic battler who delights in watching her Garchomp sweep teams XD
Okay but that Cynthia+Sephiroth design slaps
Okay, but this totally fits Cynthia's final battle a lot
I feel like this would be the theme for of she was completely unhinged and trying to feed you to giritina. The song is villainous, but in a completely different way to Cyrus, like this passionate and theatrical form of evil.
@@lilpetz500 the passionate, bombastic evil vs Cyrus' detached, apathetic, hollow evil
It's honestly impressive that changing nothing that was already there and just adding wings and a katana to Cynthia's design instantly changes her from a normal human into a fallen angel without looking out of place at all. It kind of makes me realize that Cynthia's black dress looks pretty villainous to begin with, despite her being about the exact opposite of a villain in reality.
As the secret boss in Pokémon Hearts, she was tough. They changed her voice in PHII and she got easier to deal with, especially since you can Switch when she uses OctoGarchomp.
@@insufferableanarchistSephiroth is an optional boss in Kingdom Hearts, the OP wanted to parody that
such good fights. voice change or not i STILL get chills hearing her say "descend heartless togekiss"
This is a sin because there are no pianos.
THE SOUND FONT HAS PIANOS. HER ENTIRE INTRO IS PIANOS. WHAT!?
I feel like this gives off the same energy as the SpongeBob scene "I gotta get out of here!" "TOO LATE!"
Why does this sound MORE intimidating than the original!? 😂
Probably because the less advanced soundfont makes every instrument feel less refined and harsher, so every note hits just that much harder
@@aedaniammx7559 yup, smaller samples and more hardware limitations probably means more creativity
@@aedaniammx7559It’s the same reason I can go back to the original despite the primitive MIDI sound. It’s just really eerie, especially the choir.
throw her in any game, and she still menacingly gives it the shivers...
Until she battles and her whole demeanor changes in an amazing way@@eric_moore-6126
Never in my life would I have thought that Cynthia with Sephiroth characteristics like the wing and the Masamune would be legitimately cool and terrifying, but it fits quite well.
My Therapist: Cynthiroth isn't real, she can't hurt you.
Cynthiroth: Tell me what you cherish most. Give me the pleasure of taking it away.

@@Natt7672huh? They're pronounced the same way... do you know what syllables are
@@Velvet-Of-Erion I put dashes to separate the possible syllables... Cyn-thi-a and Cyn-thia are 3 and 2 syllables.
Maybe it's because there is only one pronunciation per word in English and I don't know it ? In French, words can be cut in different ways to end up with different syllable counts for one word
Her plan to become a goddess is based upon her belief that she can merge with the Distortion World, taking control of it and the Planet itself. To do so, she must summon Draco Meteor...
"I'll offer you despair" ---Sephiroth--- Cynthia
Huh, you managed to make it sound exactly like the feeling of facing her for the first time thinking you were prepared enough.
The art goes way harder than it should
Garchomp casts Draco Nova-
10 minute cutscene of Kanto, Johto, Honen, and the realm of the Ultra Beasts destroyed
Gives off like a whole different vibe
This is kinda how it felt returning to her room in the Elite Four for the umpteenth time and hearing her piano music again.
Woah, who made this art? It's so cool lol
This really is just Cynthias theme in the alt universe where she is the head of team galactic. (She makes her self a self appointed god with the power of the gen 4 legendarys.)
*alt universe where Mega-evos, Z-moves, and Gigantimax are draining the world of energy “The World is dying, Lucas. Can you bear to see the planet suffer?”
POV: You walked into Cynthia's house
My friend... My dear host... You goat... You just made my day with this.
I could not ever hope to hear my favorite boss theme with one of the most nightmarish, if not the most, pokemon champion of all times, and feel this freaking good.
If instead of a katana, the art maker had put her a Garchomp side fin, and it would be perfect.
That's some pretty great fanart.
What every Pokémon player hears when they enter that unsuspected house in Black/White
Its right next to a poke center. You have no excuse. Always heal before dashing off into rival zones
@@Ambipieand? Even if you heal, being unprepared for the battle is a b-tch cause you could easily walk in by accident with a pokemon you were trying to level up to get a move or evolve then bam, your team gets wiped and you couldn’t do a thing. And Arceus forbid you want to do an itemless run it becomes even harder with the sheer amount of damage her team outputs.
If use her Japanese name, she will become "Shironath".
One-Winged Champion
Well this goes in imgs that give a nuzlocker despair.
I do Nuzlockes. Cynthia is one of the easier Champions once you know what you're doing(Challenge mode Iris is the hardest)
DPPt: Spiritomb is pure setup bait, and then you just sweep(I like using Bibarel for sweeps in Platinum). Her Garchomp is easily crippled just by swapping in an Intimidate mon(Staraptor is the single most common mon in the game, and Intimidate Luxray can also happen).
BDSP: Spiritomb is no longer a joke, but still setup bait for most specially tanky mons. Wormadam for example sweeps with incredible ease.
Garchomp is more of a threat thanks to Swords Dance, but you should basically never be in a situation where it can threaten you at all.
The actual scariest mon on her team is her Milotic.
makes sense since it's the only game with a hard mode@@RoyalWreckingBall
Relived this moment in Legends Arceus' finale vs Volo. I have not felt terror like that since Cynthia.
As someone who never played FF7 but Adore Pkmn Platinum this is just majestetic. ❤
Thumbnail goes insanely hard
Lol, Cynthiaroth. The perfect combination.
This and the first time you battle her have the exact same energy
Such a legendary theme even to this day.
All hail, the One-Winged Champion.

Kid: stay where you belong, in my memories...

_(Also, this only works if you kinda smoosh Espeon's second two syllables into one. Es-pyon In-fern-ape. Sorry.)_
Goodra would've worked better instead of Espeon, also could swap Deoxys for Cynthia, for the sake of the thumbnail/video. Nice one tho!
@@romanthegambler6966 "Goodra" doesn't sound like "Estuans," and Cynthia isn't a pokemon.
(If I wasn't sticking so religiously to the "replace lyrics with pokemon names" rule, Cynthia would be a good idea.)
@@romanthegambler6966 Considered Ekans, didn't like the hard k. Exploud...the silibant might make up for it.
And I wanted Sephiroth's name to be replaced by a legendary pokemon, not just one that sounded kinda like "Sephiroth". Giratina would have been my first choice-right generation, right vibes-but it has one too many syllables. Deoxys has the space thing and the right number of syllables, so I went with that.
Cynthia has the same amount of syllables so I can see the song being altered and the choir giving it “CYN-THI-A-“
Cynthia as a one winged angel is really cool
should've been named one winged champion
"Good to see you Dawn"
Dawn/Lucas: Stay where you belong in my memories.
Cynthia: I will never be a memory.
This is what Cynthia feels like on a nuzlocke

WHY DID YOU GIVE SEPHIROTH THIS MUCH POWER?!
Ok Cynthia is just the official genderbend sephiroth 😅
For most of it, it didn't quite feel like it clicked, but the "Gloriosa, generosa" section was brilliant
Yeah, that makes sense, since Cynthia is one of the most feared Final Bosses in Pokemon. Lol
Cynthia’s Volo side is showing 🤣
One Winged Champion: "I will never be a memory."
Ah yes. I remember fighting the One Winged Champion.
Cynthia is so terrifyingly smart, she would secretly teach Garchomp Draco Meteor without any drawbacks like Special Attack reduction, hits all of my Pokémon present in the battlefield, and it doesn't miss at all.
The sword and one wing suits cynthia.
You know, I saw the thumbnail and thought, “yeah, that checks out.”
Hats off to your Editor for making a photo of Cynthia the one winged angel
We need Mario and Luigi STAT
All I hear is creepy ass Lavender Town....
I keep hearing about how people want her to step on them. I thought it was weird but now I think I'm starting to understand.

Imagine actually getting Sephy as a pokemon boss, that would b the most hilarious thing in Pokemon History to behold 😂 He'd be the biggest menace to pokemon history😂

Song starts
Wait why do I hear boss music
Sephiroth-Cynthia is a wild design. This woman has given me so much shit I dont even bat an eye seeing this
People who don't know how hard Cynthia is to battle against: She can't be that tough right, i can beat her because i have faith in my pokemon, your being overdramatic.
People who knows what happens when you cross with Cynthia: All i remember is witnessing a massacre, meteor falling from the sky destroying everything in it path and when i was going to faint
she told me....
Cynthia:No matter how strong you become, i always be there to give you hopelessness and despair.
Idk how I feel about Cynthia pulling off a Sephiroth cosplay perfectly by just getting a wing and holding a sword
Yeah seeing Cynthia dressed as Sephiroth confuses me because I don't know if I should be terrified or heavily turned on
