Using magic to neutralize the cells has been done in the past though. Another matter is the fact that the UOGs tend to describe Jenova as being almost impossible to truly destroy and a constant threat thanks to Reunion. I imagine something of merit might be mentioned in one of the official...

But neutralizing the cells or putting them into some sort of stasis was probably the best option Aerith had. It was clearly the best that the ancient Cetra plus the Planet could do. I find it easier believing that Aerith utilized the Cetra powers used in the past rather than her sudden...

Well the term "saibou" is used loosely enough to allow the terms of flesh/parts/cells basically the same meaning, which can range from whole hunks of flesh to microscopic organisms. There's just not enough reason to say that whole hunks of flesh are necessary for the Reunion instinct to take...

What is the actual Japanese term being used? One Japanese term can mean many things, and in most cases the definition would be entirely dependent on the context in which it is being used. "Parts", "flesh", and "cells" all appear to be synonymous when applied in English. The UOG entries I...

Iunno, sometimes instinct can be built right into the genes, which each of the cells would have. Jenova's freaky enough to have it that way from what I've seen. Cells....Flesh....it always comes down to single fucking words. EVERYTHING hinging on a single fucking word.....

By the time it was settled into the Shinra building Sephiroth had probably already mindraped it and determined its every action. He was in absolute control of every single aspect of Jenova’s existence. While he is in power it can be surmised that Jenova does not act unless the master commands...

Sephiroth’s will is no longer influencing the cells, but the cells themselves are still there. This is a big assumption you’re making even though we haven’t really been given any kind of confirmation on what Aerith’s rain actually does. For now it doesn’t seem to be any different than Great...

SYNTHESIS, iirc, was supposed to be her final form. The UOG even calls it her most "perfect form". Or at least as perfect as she could hope to get after the course of the game. It was her final form. One would expect that after destroying someone's *final form that might be the end of them...

Jenova was also supposedly destroyed at the end of FF7, but it turned out her cells had simply dispersed into the Lifestream. Sephiroth was also supposedly destroyed at the end of FF7. Lo, it turned out he had gotten pissed and immediately began frying people's bodies via Geostigma. AC also...

Again, I just don't see where people have gotten the idea that Jenova is "permanently brain dead". It was incapacitated by some unknown Cetra magic, and then sealed by Shinra technology, only to be released and subsequently owned by Sephiroth. There are instances in Ff7 where we can clearly...

And we know what messes they can make with just a few cells, eh?

Mukki is Overlord of the world-conquering posse of body-builders who infest all with love and sunshine! How did you not know this? Nope. No screenshot. Catch a Youtube vid or something. His eyes had a vacant stare, and the glow seemed to trail off his eyes as he turned away. They were...

Making Jenova return as a threat wouldn't require any retconning or bullshitting at all. There hasn't been anything leading to the definite conclusion that everything Jenova has been destroyed. I still see arguments going back and forth about whether Aerith's magic actually destroyed Jenova...

I usually get a mess of flack for calling most of Avalanche "normal" people. I suppose a better term would be "unenhanced", but the fact that their journey turns them into some hardcore muthafathas kinda makes up for their lack of physical enhancements. Their experience with materia in battle...

Pretty much just as Mako Eyes said, initially the "SOLDIER honor" gimmick must've been an ad tactic to attract young people who were willing to dedicate their abilities to a greater good. Young people like Zack, Cloud, Angeal and Genesis went for it easy. Of course, when you get people who...
