How Bayonetta lunges for and cradles Cereza the first time she saves her. The "A Mother's Love" achievement (which you get for killing every angel in an Astral Projection fight without letting any of them touch Cereza) also inspires warm fuzzies just from reading its name.
During Chapter XII: The Broken Sky, Bayonetta demands that Jeanne tell her where Cereza is. Jeanne immediately figures out that she's grown attached to the girl, and Bayonetta, trying to maintain her badass image, immediately denies it. It doesn't convince Jeanne, or herself for that matter. And on a more subtle level, it's rather interesting that her mind immediately jumps to Luka when told that she's grown attached to someone.
Bayonetta: Tell me where she is! Now! Jeanne: My! Aren't we attached to our precious little one? Do you like it when she calls you "mummy?" Bayonetta:(voice rising in pitch) You're absolutely delusional! If I leave her, he'll never shut up about it! And his whining is twice as irritating as anything the child could muster.
Bayonetta's always annoying Luka by calling him "Cheshire". Where did she get the name? From the stuffed cat she carried around everywhere as a little girl.
When Bayonetta saves and agrees to help Cereza, the little girl calling her "Mummy" is the first time Bayonetta shows any signs of vulnerability; an Out-of-Character Moment from her usual badass image.
Bayonetta: When you cherish something, never lose it. Understand, little one? You must keep it safe, close to your heart.
The moment where Luka puts on Cereza's glasses, sees the Angels and Bayonetta fighting them, and finally realizes that Bayonetta didn't kill his father, but was fighting the Angels that did.
Cereza: Mummy is a witch, and witches protect people and are very strong. When I grow up, I'll be strong too and I'll protect my mummy! (Shedoes.)
After Cereza's Cheshire stuffed toy gets damage by one of Iustitia's tentacles (taking off the pin in its eye), Bayonetta manages to put a bandage to the damaged part when she returns it to Cereza after the fight.
The first time Bayonetta calls Luka by his real name.
Luka:(enters with Cereza) Hey. Bayonetta: (gasps) Luka: Is it over? ...What? It's not like you don't scare the shit out of me all the time. Bayonetta: Cereza! I don't know whether to shoot you or to take you to Vegas for good luck, Cheshire. Luka: Give me more credit than that. If you must know... where L-U-K-A Luka is concerned, there's no such thing as luck. Only skill. You didn't expect me to trust bitches... I mean witches, did you, Bayonetta? Bayonetta: How's the little one? Luka: Out like a light, but okay other than that. What about you? You really think I'm gonna let myself be seen in public with a girl looking all beat up like that? Bayonetta: ...I look dreadful, do I? You'll have to learn to wipe that stupid look off your face, or I'll never let you keep chasing me around this world. Got that? ...Luka? Luka: (laughs) Now that's more like it!
Near the end, when Cereza (cradled by Balder) notices Bayonetta coming into the room.
Cereza: MUMMY!!! Bayonetta: (relieved?) Little one...
After saving Cereza from Balder, Bayonetta briefly travels to the past and puts the little girl to bed. Bayonetta sings "Fly Me to the Moon" as Cereza drifts off to sleep.
Jubileus is about to awaken, Bayonetta is unconscious, and it looks like Father Balder is about to win. Then Jeanne arrives, and the following exchange occurs:
Jeanne and Bayonetta reminiscing about their pasts, telling that they have been playing together since they were little.
When Jeanne stops the credits from rolling as it looks like Jubileus' body is going to crash down to earth. Rallying Bayonetta to save the world one more time, Bayonetta's response says it all:
Jeanne: Come now. You're one of a kind. If you die here, who's going to save the world? I'll send you home, even if it kills me...Now let's finish this. Bayonetta: You and I are going home together. Jeanne, we're both one of a kind! Jeanne:(smiles) Now those are the eyes I've been waiting to see.
At the end of the penultimate chapter, Bayonetta has her Left Eye awakened and she becomes immobilized by a back-from-the-fake-dead Balder. Seeing this, Luka stands between him and Bayonetta in a vain attempt to protect her. It doubles as a minor Moment of Awesome since Luka had just been thrown off a skyscraper by the same guy, and he still tried to defend her, knowing full well what he was capable of. That's a far cry from the Luka introduced earlier who only cared about bringing Bayonetta to justice and avenging his father's death.
Enzo is a loud-mouthed gangster who curses a blue streak and complains about everything, but he seems to be really fond of his two children, even having their names on his car's vanity plates. During his first cutscene appearance, he's impatient to go home and celebrate his birthday with them.
Enzo: My kids are baking me a birthday cake tonight. Cute little fuckers, I tell ya what!
The fact that Enzo is so invested in helping Bayonetta get back her memory and even attends (what he thinks is) her funeral and hopes that she's able to find peace in the afterlife even with her Deal with the Devil shows that he actually was a genuine friend to Bayonetta despite his rough edges.
