"No, Sephiroth is not generally considered an "uke" (a term used in some fan communities to describe a character who is often the submissive partner in a relationship). Sephiroth is a complex character known for his strong will, arrogance, and powerful presence, which often places him as the "seme" (dominant partner) in fanfic or roleplay scenarios. He is not typically portrayed in a way that suggests he is a submissive or passive character. "

Do you think this makes sense?

I mean, I'm not the type of person to listen to any of these generative AI programs for a whole host of reasons, but as someone who's played the original game, Crisis Core, Remake and Rebirth, and watched both versions of Advent Children as well as Last Order (I've played Dirge of Cerberus and watched On The Way to a Smile: Episode Denzel as well, but those don't feature Sephie and so are irrelevant to this specific topic), I can say preeetty confidently that Sephiroth is certainly not the submissive type lol

Obviously most fanfic authors aren't gonna care about this, but in-story Sephiroth has shown absolutely zero sexual interest of any sort, and very, VERY likely does not care about it in the slightest, especially post-Nibelheim mental breakdown where he fully transforms into an absolute emotionless, nihilistic sociopath solely obsessed with eradicating all life on Gaia.

But regardless, yes, he's definitely VERY strong-willed, manipulative, and singularly focused on his own evil, selfish, destructive goals, and therefore very much not a man who would EVER bottom even if he did have such leanings.

Of course, one could read into the way he seems to relish tormenting Cloud in Advent Children and Remake/Rebirth as maybe pseudo-sexual, but I mean, let's face it... after being defeated (read: literally killed) by Cloud not once, not twice, but THREE times by Advent Children, he's clearly got a gigantic hate boner reserved for the spikey-haired chap, and his habit of stalking and taunting Cloud, seemingly for the pleasure of fucking with him psychologically, while he carries out his grand plan to manipulate the timeline itself to undo his second and third defeats before they happen as we see in Remake and Rebirth kiiinda makes a heckuva lot of sense lol.

Really though, if we were to assign some kind of weird sexual proclivity to him, I'd say he probably has a major Oedipus complex more than anything else, considering how much he goes on and on and on about Jenova, or as he always calls her, "Mother"... πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

Edit: I originally said "both versions of Crisis Core" in the first paragraph above when I had already mentioned it... meant to say "both versions of Advent Children". I corrected it, but you can still see the mistake in the quote below. My bad πŸ˜…
