Metroid

***Metroid*** is an action-adventure game franchise created by Nintendo. The player controls the bounty hunter Samus Aran, who protects the galaxy from Space Pirates and other malevolent forces and their attempts to harness the power of the parasitic Metroid creatures.

*Metroid* combines the platforming of *Super Mario Bros.* and the exploration of *The Legend of Zelda* with a science fiction setting and an emphasis on nonlinear gameplay. Most *Metroid* games are side-scrolling, while the 3D games use a first-person perspective. Players battle hostile alien enemies and obtain power-ups as they progress through the game world. The series is known for its isolated atmosphere, featuring few non-player characters.

The first *Metroid* was developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986. *Metroid II: Return of Samus* was released for the handheld Game Boy in 1991. *Super Metroid* (1994), released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, received acclaim and is considered one of the best games on the console. After a hiatus, *Metroid Fusion* (2002) and *Metroid: Zero Mission* (2004) were released for the Game Boy Advance.

The first 3D *Metroid* game, *Metroid Prime* (2002), was developed by Retro Studios for the GameCube and received acclaim. It was followed by *Metroid Prime 2: Echoes* (2004) and the Wii game *Metroid Prime 3: Corruption* (2007). *Metroid: Other M* (2010), developed by Team Ninja for the Wii, received weaker reviews.

A former soldier of the megacorporation Shinra, he possesses superhuman physiology as a result of an experiment in which Shinra injected him with cells from the extraterrestrial lifeform Jenova when he was still a fetus. Upon discovering this, Sephiroth becomes consumed by rage and decides to take control of the Planet, while Cloud and the game's other protagonists attempt to stop him. Sephiroth's background and role in the story are expanded upon in the *Compilation of Final Fantasy VII*. Additionally, he appears as a guest character in other video games and media, such as a recurring boss in the *Kingdom Hearts* series and as a playable character in *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*.

Character designer Tetsuya Nomura conceived and designed Sephiroth as an antagonist and foil to the game's main character, Cloud Strife. In Japanese, Sephiroth has been voiced by voice actor Toshiyuki Morikawa in all of his appearances. He was voiced by Shin-ichiro Miki in *Ehrgeiz* and Yūichirō Umehara in *Ever Crisis*. In English, Sephiroth has been voiced by Lance Bass in *Kingdom Hearts* (2002), and by George Newbern in *Kingdom Hearts II* (2005) and the Compilation of *Final Fantasy VII* metaseries (2004–present). In *Final Fantasy VII Remake*, Newbern was succeeded by Tyler Hoechlin, a role he reprises in the remastered *Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion* (2022), replacing Newbern's English performance in the original game.

Sephiroth has been well-received within the video game community and is highly ranked on many lists of the best video game villains and *Final Fantasy* characters based on his role in the narrative and his high challenge level. He was also the subject of analysis as a *Final Fantasy* villain who lost his humanity upon learning of his alien heritage, and how he attempts to corrupt Cloud by exploiting his mental weaknesses.

Nezuko Kamado

## Nezuko Kamado (Demon Slayer)

**Nezuko Kamado** (Japanese: 竈門 禰豆子, Hepburn: *Kamado Nezuko*) is a fictional character in Koyoharu Gotouge's manga series *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba*. Nezuko and her older brother Tanjiro Kamado are the sole survivors of an incident through which they lost their entire family due to the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, with Nezuko being transformed into a demon, but unexpectedly still showing signs of human emotion and thought. After an encounter with Giyu Tomioka, a demon slayer, Tanjiro begins his quest to help his sister turn back into a human and avenge the death of his family.

Nezuko's character was created to make Tanjiro's character more complex, as he struggles to reconcile with his sister being a demon. Critical response to Nezuko has been positive due to how unconventional it was for the narrative to have her kind of character as a demon, as well as how her fighting abilities adapt and grow as the series progresses.

She has also been a very popular character within the *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba* fanbase, appearing in an issue from the *Weekly Playboy* magazine.

From there, they seek to serve justice by forming a rag-tag group of allies (including the first ally they meet on their journey, whose name happens to be Koichi) to solve all number of odd occurrences that plague their city, while also attempting to thwart the schemes of a reserved, calculating suit-wearing psychopath who is obsessed with controlling his own image.

* They also both utilize colourful aura based abilities to fight.
