Although he's still treated better than in Shinra, so the second part remains a possibility. The first part is Jossed, as Tifa already figured out that he was a spy.After being treated so nicely by the people he was supposed to spy, he will actually decide to screw Shinra and help them. And it will be the explanation of Reeve's Heel≯ace Turn.
Basically, he will be the complete opposite of The Friend Nobody Likes. It seems to be already the case with Cloud (as they discovered that they were Birds of a Feather) and Aerith (because he's a cute cat). And again in Episode 29 when a flashback shows Tifa only acted like a Jerkass to Cloud after he commented how bizarrely nice she was being.Įveryone will love Cait Sith.Since he's The Scrappy of the original game, one of the Running Gags about him will be that everyone, including Barret, Tifa, Cid (and even Vincent?), will find him either lovable, sympathetic or endearing to a ridiculous degree, even when he's doing something annoying or suspicious. Confirmed by Tifa herself, after some prompting by Aerith, in Episode 22.The Four Dudes line might be her making an arse of the Façade, Setting herself up for Cloud to read her the Riot Act.Episode 10 showed her awkwardly trying to amp up the sex jokes when she was staying behind to make sure Cloud was alive rather than actually talk about it, so this may be the case.Cloud's memory of the event might only be as fresh as his psychotic fit during the second bombing run (Ep 3) so that makes it even worse.If that's the case, then the rant at the end of episode 10 would really come off Harsher in Hindsight.She hasn't moved on from the experience and plays up her more immature traits and jerkish traits in an attempt to mask her own grief whilst simultaneously trying to keep Cloud (Who has his own problems right now) in check.It's not that She doesn't care about the others, but showing that kindness would also force her to acknowledge her own problems. Tifa's Jerkass tendencies are forced.Whilst it was clear that she was manipulative as a child, Tifa is currently playing up her jerkiness to avoid confronting her own traumatic memories caused by her fathers death.
