Or maby it is a machina built by the al-bhed to face yu-yevon thats why it might look the same because it is a replica, and the reason why you need to beat all the dark aeons to face him is beacause since it is a machina it thinks you are yu-yevon beacause you are so powefull

.....i just thought of that on the spot.

Possible.. Though i doubt it.
I rather stick to the final aeon theory..

Um....kay?

If it were a machina, it wouldn't really think now would it? And why would it be linked to the dark aeons? The Al Bhed didn't have anything to do with summoners or aeons, let alone Yu Yevon. Plus, why would they make a machina to contest Yu Yevon himself in the first place? If anything they'd make one to confront Sin, but seeing as how the best they could make were all the weapons they assaulted Sin with at Mushroom Rock, it's highly unlikely they could construct anything like Penance.

In my opinion, it's just like most other secret bosses: it's just there. It has very little, if anything, to do with the story and is just randomly there as a challenge.
