History TearJerker / Bayonetta3

* Tokyo Bayonetta gets killed unceremoniously, unable to avenge Jeanne despite destroying the Iridescent Core. All she can do before she dies is simply toss her Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo to Prime Bayonetta, who promptly takes vengeance in her stead.

* In a scene eerily reminiscent to how Viola's mother died, Singularity holds up Prime Bayonetta up in the air and prepares to stab her. Viola lets out an agonized "Mummy!" as [[FutileHandReach she tries to reach out for Bayonetta]]. While Bayonetta is thankfully saved, Viola almost had to experience losing her mother to Singularity in a similar fashion a ''second'' time.

** Remember how hilarious and awesome Bayonetta's first fight against Strider was? Go back now with the knowledge that she's been attacking Luka this entire time, and it's heartbreaking to know that she's unknowingly attacking the man ''she'' loves.

** A ReWatchBonus occurs in the β2 universe when he lifts up her face with his finger; She looks ready to cry.

** A ReWatchBonus occurs in the β2 universe when he lifts up her face with his finger; She looks ready to cry. And while players may not realize why when they first see it, they figure out why at the end.

* Goofiness aside, just everything about Viola. First, she has to watch her version of Bayonetta (her birth mother) and Sigurd die in order to buy her time to escape. Then, after a long journey with the current Bayonetta, her hopes of a possible solution are dashed when it turns out the Alphaverse was just a decoy to trap the both of them and the Dr. Sigurd that Jeanne had "rescued" turned out to be Singularity in disguise, costing them both a valuable ally and friend in Jeanne. Finally, after watching Bayonetta nearly die several times and revealing their connection, Viola ends up losing both her and Luka (her father) for good when they are dragged down into Inferno - as Luka decides to join Bayonetta so she wouldn't be alone -- leaving her a sobbing wreck. At the [[BittersweetEnding end of it all]], she inherits Bayonetta’s title, her glasses, Luka's scarf, and it’s implied that Rodin is keeping an eye on her and informing her parents about how she’s doing.

* The initial staff roll. Instead of a pole dance with a classic version of the covered song, it's a solemn, final sendoff to the titular heroine, with a new AwardBaitSong and scenes from the past games scattering in crystal. At the end, she falls to the ground and crystallizes, shattering into pieces that float upwards.
