History Headscratchers / Bayonetta

* it's more like an alternate reality where the point of separation happened when the worlds were formed, so there's a lot of similarities but also some very important differences. The "DmC" reboot would be anouther such alternate world, one where the setting is closer to Bayonetta's.

What is the Lumen Sage symbol? I'm sure this answered in-game though.

* In chapter 6 you are forced to maim a couple of Affinities with a lightpole to protect Cereza. Since they are not in the same dimension you can't attack them with your weapons. Alright. But then 1)Why are they able to attack Bayonetta with their weapons but not the opposite? 2)Why doesn't Bayonetta go into their dimension as she did just before that? 3)If that's because they are in Paradiso, then why don't the angels ''stay'' in that dimesion where she can do nothing to them while they can attack her?
** The Angels were in Pugatorio, which is where Bayonetta herself usually fights, while Bayonetta herself stayed in the human world with Cerezsa. Beings in Purgatorio can affect the normal world but not vice versa. My guess is that Bayonetta didn't want to pull Cerezsa into Purgatorio unless she had to, especially since the last time she did cerezsa was nearly kiidnapped by Joy.

[[WMG: Is Bayonetta retarded? ]]

* Actually, that really is her job in the Human World when she isn't killing Angels. Bloody Fate shows that it is her "Human" job, and there is art of her being a nun in the following link: http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/File:Jeanneschoolteacher.jpg

** Plus, did you really think they'd stand a chance against ''[[OneManArmy The Legendary]] [[RedBaron Dark Knight]] [[BigGood Sparda]]''!? Dealing with a powerful demon God is bad enough(one who is the equivalent of {{Satan}}), but two!? The angels would have been lambs to the slaughter! Though it does raise a similar point. How come the angels never bothered going after Dante and Vergil when their parents died? You would think they would get a jump on that when the twins were kids or teenagers. Probably the same as the first explanation.

* The extremely rare boys born with Umbral powers are kept in the clan and the Muggles are probably sent to their father’s families or to maternal uncles.

** Near the ending, [[spoiler: Bayonetta traveled to the past to deliver little Cereza back to her own time, and THEN she sang that song to her, which she probably learned during her last ten (or was it twenty?) years in the modern day. That's how the song transcended time. Or at least, reached Bayonetta's memory even back then.]]
*** [[spoiler: Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Makes a lot of sense. The fact that the images shown with the singing flashback are the same ones as when we see Bayonetta's mom give her the necklace probably just means she's mixing memories up.]]

*** Plain and simple, they wouldn't fight. Dante is the son of a powerful demon, and Bayonetta is an Umbra witch, and the Umbra Witches side with demons and make contracts with them to gain their powers plus they summon them. I'd see Dante and Bayonetta having more of a relationship closer to Rodin and Bayonetta and Rodin's [[spoiler: a fallen angel.]] In the argument of who's more powerful, I'd side with Bayonetta from what others have said, because I don't really know Devil May Cry enough to know Dante's feats and powers.

** She specifically says that it's cosplay. [[spoiler: Jeanne says so too at the end of the game]]

Don't get me wrong. I know she's a witch and all, and that she's some hundred years old when the game takes place, which should at least guarantee some degree of wisdom even with her amnesia. However, some people have taken their time [[http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/946346-bayonetta/faqs/58989 translating all the demon and angel script found throughout the game]], and with it came some FridgeLogic. Anyway, [[spoiler: the clock that Bayonetta carries everywhere (even since before she lost her memories) has engraved on it "UMBRA CEREZA 1411.12.19", which is obvious to anyone who played the game that it's her name and birthday. Given that she obviously remembers the demon script, or at least has re-learnt it after awakening, so she could have come to the same conclusion; however, she chose the name Bayonetta instead. But what really bugs me is that when Cereza says her name, Bayonetta doesn't even twitch, or have a flashback, or anything. She just casually asks "Cereza? You're not from Vigrid, are you, little one?" and the talk goes on. Why would she not suspect or even ask anything? Is "Cereza" that common of a name there? She even calls her mommy!]]
