One of Sephiroth's most iconic moments is surely him picking up his legendary iconic sword, the Masamune, in Ever Crisis.
The whole team wonders where the blade is, as they couldn't see it anywhere, yet all Sephiroth does is reply with "No, it's here..."
He then casually manifests it like nothing with his own hands:
And continues his epic line, "...and it will be mine."
Makes his sword longer cuz he can:
And then strikes a cool pose:
He then also randomly adds that the sword "Could be longer."

But then, he faces a problem: with such a long sword, he would also need to search for a scabbard that long:

And lastly, to conclude the aura farming of the scene, we have a comment from Angeal: "This sword shouldn't exist."

Showing you just how powerful and auraful Sephiroth was even at such a young age, being able to master a sword that shouldn't even exist in seconds, and to show off just how badass he is.
Let's start with the big guns
First video:
Up to 0:06, we can already understand the context needed in order to understand the situation the cutscene takes place in: a group of Rhadoran soldiers pushed our Shinra/SOLDIER troops into a corner. Then, our main squad decides to come out and give them all what they've got, only to stop after seeing something descending from the sky (0:11): a white feather. The camera angle changes prospective completely (0:14), we now see a helicopter in the sky, multiple feathers falling down, and birds as candid as the falling feathers passing by, all in slow motion. The camera angle changes once again (0:15), and we're now looking at the ground again, except for the fact that...a new character has appeared. The feathers fall at his feet, the Rhadoran soldiers halt the fire, and we don't get to see the SOLDIER's face — what we see is his blade (0:23). The blade is unsheated, and he's now standing in the middle of the battlefield, giving his back to the camera, and facing off the entire enemy military team combined (0:30). He launches himself into the fight (0:31), the Rhadoran soldiers shoot missiles against the other SOLDIERs — but those missiles were cut in half before they even reached the target (0:37). They all drop their weapons (0:42) — not because they surrended to Shinra, but because they surrended to death (0:47). Not only the entire team is annihilated, but even their cargos and vehicles, with only one man standing in the middle of this carnage (0:57). Reinforcements approach the unnamed SOLDIER, but he activates a Materia (1:03), returning all of his opponents to the ashes God shaped them with. The survivors can only look in disbelief and be amazed at the terrifying scene of said SOLDIER in the middle of the fire of war, of slaughter, of carnage, of strife, of conflict, and so on (1:18), who only then turns around (1:30), showing a face as perfect and beautiful as that of the Devil himself, with only one name obscuring all the thoughts in their mind: the legendary first class SOLDIER, Sephiroth.

Third video:
(Take into account that Sephiroth standing in the middle of the flames of Nibleheim is also one of the most iconic cutscenes in gaming history, reason for why you can see it many times across the multiple medias that belong to the Final Fantasy VII universe).
8Sephiroth acting nonchalant while having the Buster Sword at his neck:
Sephiroth landing gracefully and nonchalantly after sending Zack into the depths of the Mako reactor with little to no effort:
Sephiroth giving the Jenova stare at Zack, fully showing what the perfect human weapon looks like:
"I am the chosen one. I have been chosen to rule this planet."
His theme starts playing, and he destroys the entire platform but one straight line that still manages to stand:
The game warns you: "If you are driven to the edge, the game is over." What follows is a boss fight in which Zack has to desperately stop Sephiroth from advancing, who just comes closer and closer menacingly, sending Zack, step after step, closer to his demise:

From 0-10 up to 0:28 seconds, we can already see the setting where the scene takes place: the entire Super Smash Bros Ultimate cast is struggling against Galeem (the final boss of the game's story) and his army of Hands, on the verge of being completely wiped out from existence by his light. But then (0:34), something unexpected happens: a slash. As everyone stares in disbelief, Galeem has been cut in half (0:41). Before anyone can question the identity of the one behind such an incredible feat, One-Winged Angel starts playing (0:44), and Cloud can only pronounce the name of the culprit with visible fear in his facial expression: Sephiroth (0:51). We then see Sephiroth himself floating in the middle of the sky, with his usual smug smile, hitting a legendary pose (0:58). He then opens his mouth, saying: "I have been waiting for this moment. Now, i shall give Smash despair." (1:03). And from there, one of the most auraful trailers ever conceived by the human mind begins...
(1:12) Sephiroth standing in the middle of the fire, his most iconic scene in the history of Final Fantasy VII. It is also important to note that in this game, Sephiroth is one of the only few characters to have a special winning animation like this one;
(1:15) Sends Solid Snake (from the Metal Gear franchise) back to where he came from with a single slash;
(1:17) Does the same with Marth (from the Fire Emblem franchise);
(1:18) Sends Incineroar (from the Pokémon franchise) flying with a simple attack;
(1:21) Effortlessly fully counters an attack from Hero (from the Dragon Quest franchise) and sends him flying away;
(1:23) Cuts the entire battle arena in half;
(1:24) Auraful pose, nothing much to say;
(1:28) Takes down both Corrin (from the Fire Emblem franchise) and Joker (from the Persona franchise) down with a single upper slash;
(1:30) Makes Link (from the The Legend Of Zelda franchise) explode;
(1:33) Walks menacingly into a literal black hole nonchalantly;
(1:35) Obliterates Zelda (from the The Legend Of Zelda franchise) in a similar way to how he kills Aerith in Final Fantasy VII;
(1:39) Replies with "Pathetic" at the combined forces of Mewtwo, Shiek, Terry and Chrom (from the Pokémon, The Legend of Zelda, King of Fighters and Fire Emblem franchises respectively), showing off his dark wing;
(1:44) Very auraful pose with his wing mid-air;
(1:45) Another cool pose with his wing;
(1:46) Completely obliterates Captain Falcon (from the F-Zero franchise);
(1:48) Completely annihilates Ike (from the Fire Emblem franchise);
(1:50) Another very striking and auraful pose of our One-Winged Angel;
(1:53) Makes both Shulk (from the Xenoblade Chronicles franchise) and Mega Man (from the Mega Man franchise) explode;
(1:55) Walks away from the explosion in the coolest way possible;
(2:00) One shots both Bayonetta (from the Bayonetta franchise) and Greninja (from the Pokémon franchise) with a mere slash;
(2:04) Impales Mario (from the Super Mario Bros franchise) with his sword;
(2:13) Smiles at Cloud's attempt at confronting him;
(2:52) Replies with "I will never be a memory" at Cloud's words, who defeated Sephiroth using Omnislash V.5;
(3:00) Transforms into Safer Sephiroth,
completely overwhelming Cloud;
14Sephiroth casually deflecting Ifrit's attacks
Aura. Itself.
5Sephiroth's sheer aura also allows him to have 4 different theme songs:
[Altough the last 3 do sound similar, they should be counted as different due to having different lyrics (the Advent Children one, for example, is in fact a continuation of the one from FFVII if we analyze the lyrics), instruments and overall rythm]
Do also note that One Winged Angel is not only the one and only song with actual lyrics in Final Fantasy VII, but it was also the first song with actual lyrics within the franchise.
Btw only day left to conclude match since I need to make Dante vs Aizen. So Applepizza, move your ass if you don't want to loseI have MFTL+ reaction, so 140
