**Cloud Strife** is a friend and ally of **SephirothSword57**, originating from the best game of all time: *Final Fantasy VII.* He is also a very good friend of **Crono**, together with whom he takes on the *boke* role of their *manzai* comedy duo "Spinballs."

While every bit as proficient in battle as his original *Final Fantasy VII* counterpart, in the Show he also is portrayed as a himbo; strong and kind, but dimwitted.

Near the end of the video, while **Cloud** laments over not knowing what to play during the wait for *Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2,* he and **SephirothSword57** are interrupted by Link who foolishly suggests *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,* claiming it's even better than *Final Fantasy VII.* Cloud and **SephirothSword57** look at eachother for a second before breaking out in roaring laughter, and proceeds to throw trash and *Destruct* materiae at Link, who runs off crying. The video ends with the two new friends high-fiving.
