The Japanese term for "Heartless Angel," famously known as an attack used by Sephiroth in the Final Fantasy series, is 心ない天使 (Kokoronai Tenshi).
Heartless Angel is Kefka Palazzo's EX Skill, marking the first time that Kefka uses it since Final Fantasy VI. It inflicts all enemies within his vicinity with a number of status effects, which differ on whether the attack was charged. If charged fully, it inflicts Sleep, Silence, Blind, Imp, Poison, and Confuse.
You can dodge Heartless Angel with anything that makes you invincible during the casting, i.e. summoning or using a Limit Break. Since you get plenty of stagger chances before Heartless Angel, it's not hard to have Aerith's Limit ready so you can use it to dodge and heal Cloud.
While Sephiroth isn't explicitly transgender in the original, Remake or Rebirth, it's easy to see how a character whose tribulations are based around questions of identity and self-acceptance might cause many to see queer subtext. Struggles with identity are a key theme in Rebirth, too.
Once you do have ATB, dodge his moves and use Focused Thrust on Sephiroth after essentially every move he does. You'll pressure him in no time. Of course, you'll need to also do pretty well with parrying Sephiroth, as this increases his stagger bar immensely.
It's confirmed several times in different media that Hojo is his father. Lucretia and Vincent were never intimate with each other. Lucretia felt too much guilt towards Vincent's father, Grimoire, death which led to her rejecting Vincent and having a relationship with Hojo. Vincent isn't Sephiroth's father.
It is common in media for villains or antagonists (or even complex protagonists) to display narcissistic traits. This is true for several figures in Final Fantasy VII, but none are more pronounced than Sephiroth.
And as we see in Rebirth (as well as OG), Sephiroth has been influencing his actions constantly, from killing Shinra operatives, and acting either violently or strangely. And here's the thing, Zack was also taken by Hojo and given S-Cells, and became a Sephiroth clone too.
She knows that Zack is dead since she senses it at the end of crisis core, but she doesn't know how he died.
Final Fantasy VII
At one point, Red XIII fears he might be a Sephiroth-clone due to Professor Hojo numbering him with a tattoo. This is untrue as the number was given to him in an unrelated experiment.
Personality. Zack initially has a strong attitude and is always ready for work. His energetic personality helped him earn the nickname "Zack the Puppy" from Angeal.
Sharon Packer identifies Cloud as having mental illness in the form of dissociative identity disorder (DID), while Katie Whitlock identifies him as having involuntary memory resulting from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
It's well known that his full name it's Sephiroth Crescent. Yeah he doesn't even know Lucrecia ever existed. I do think he knows about Hojo though .
Cloud, of course, has strong feelings towards Sephiroth. In a way, Sephiroth feeds off of that. Driving Cloud to madness is a way of Sephiroth affirming himself. Keep in mind though, this isn't a "lore based" explanation, but more of a "character based" one.
Tifa thinks of Denzel as her own son and she along with Marlene cared for him while he had Geostigma. In the Dead Fantasy series, it is unknown what Denzel's relationship will be with Tifa, but it is known that he still views her as a mother figure, just as he views Cloud as a father figure.

Lucrecia Crescent Hojo is best known for her role in the Jenova Project and later the Sephiroth Project. Although she gave birth to Sephiroth, the great success of the SOLDIER program, she did not live to even hold her baby in her arms.
According to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Material Ultimania book, Tifa's bra size is a Japanese G70, which is roughly a size 32” DDD. And yes, this is official FF7R character costume design info...
Apparently, 7 seconds is the amount of time Sephiroth descends in the air before he impales Aerith in the original.
Aerith's original Japanese name is Earisu (エアリス) pronounced [eaɾisɯ]. This was transliterated to "Aeris" in Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy Tactics and "Aerith" in later products.
Like in 1997, Aerith admits that she was first drawn to Cloud because he reminded her of her first love, Zack, but indicates now that Cloud is the one she wants to be with.
This also shows that Alice has visual perception issues, which can be a characteristic in some cases of schizophrenia (Weiten, 2018). In fact, Alice's experiences are so synonymous with perceptual distortion that an informal diagnosis, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, was named after her (Breslin, 2022).
Nephophobia is the scientific term for a fear of clouds.
It is at this point that Aerith explains Zack was her first love.
