One-Winged Angel:

come on. i dont have to say anything. come on.

I Am (All of Me):

😉😏

i am all of me is the introduction song to the game shadow the hedgehog released in 2005, written and performed by crush 40. the song represents shadow's internal feelings after being woken up with no memories as amnesia struck him again. underneath the "edgy" lyrics and VERY different style than what crush 40 was known for at the time, the feelings and emotions shadow had at the time are very prevalent, most notably in the chorus "can you see all of me? / walk into my mystery / step inside and hold on for dear life / do you remember me? / capture you or set you free / i am all, i am all of me!" shadow is asking those who say they knew him (rouge, sonic, amy, the chaotix, etc) about who he is. to himself, he is a mystery, he doesn't know every part of himself. the others do, they know his past and the things about him he can't remember for the life of him this song also presents the "hero and villain" themes of shadow the hedgehog (2005), and it's neutral "i choose my own destiny" path, mentioned in the "black-hearted evil / brave-hearted hero / i am all, i am all, i am" lines. the bridge of the song can also be seen as a sort of identity crisis if you read too much into it (like i do) "i am / i am everyone, everywhere / anyhow, anyway, any will, any day / i am / i am everyone, everywhere / anyhow, anyway, any will, any day / i am (i am, i am) / i am (i am, i am)" shadow trying desperately to figure out who he is, being essentially "anyone" as, well, if he isn't him (he would remember who he is if he was him) then who is he if not anyone else? anyways! to make a long damn infodump short, i am all of me is the best song in video game history as it's the perfect representation of shadow's mentality in shadow the hedgehog (2005) and his descent into an identity crisis. vote i am all of me!

Guys, I hate to be that person, but Genesis and Angeal being older than Sephiroth is not a theory: it's the literal narrative of Crisis Core.

Genesis is an academic with a perfect use of language for dramatic purposes, and he told the story of the Jenova Project in perfect order: first Project G, then Project S, using the failures of the former to ensure a good success of the latter.

The progress is clear: Failure (Genesis) < still not there (Angeal) < success (Sephiroth)

Sephiroth being the youngest is not speculation, but intentional storytelling. They could always retcon this, but there was no doubt in the original script, at least the fact that Project G came first.

There could still make Genesis the middle child because their order of birth has not being stated, but there's no doubt about Sephiroth being the youngest, since Genesis stated it in Nibelheim.

Yeah, it would be awkward having a character called "The Origin" not being the first born, but in meta he would still be the origin of the crisis, so it could work. I don't like this option -logically the biggest "error" should be on the first try- but that's the only non-canon thing they could change without retconning.

I could go on telling you that basically Genesis also told us that Sephiroth is genetically sterile. Which makes perfect sense: Hojo could have just made another S by reproduction if it was possible.

I have a bunch of theories about the genetics of AGS, but they could sum up in "Genesis and Angeal are chimeras, Sephiroth is an hybrid" (and most hybrids, expecially males, are indeed sterile due to extra chromosomes).

I keep thinking that at the incubation party the only reason OG Elan had to attend himself was because 4 was dead and 5 hasn't recovered from the facelift yet. Which means the year prior i just imagine the CEO ladies handing 4 an unlimited company bank account with a single note on it that says "Invest" and just ... sending him out there to do business.
