Barrett: Final Fantasy VII's manliest character

come at me bro

Barrett (or in Japan, racistly named Co-Co) was the strongest, angriest and blackest man in Final Fantasy 7. When his hand got shot off trying to save his homeboy, he said '%@# that, I'm going to replace my arm with a gun. 99% of humans who get their arm shot off don't decide to turn where their hand used to be with a gun.

How does his gun arm even work? How do you fire a gun without a hand? This is where the moustache comes in. His moustache (which shares a mental link with his brain) fires the gun when he decides the time is right. His beard deflects bullets, which explains why he can take so much damage.

Some might argue with me and say that Sephiroth was manlier. Lies. Lies and slander! He burned down a village, but he wore a leather overcoat or something, and mumbles to himself.

Plus if you levelled Barrett enough, he could kill Sephiroth. So screw that pansy, Barrett all the way.

You gotta understand somethin' [...] I gotta fight. 'Cause if I don't...the planet's gonna die. So I'm gonna keep fightin'!

—Barret, explaining why he's so manly and his shoe size is probably like 37

I don't care it's a final fantasy game, VII was awesome back in the day!
