If Demons are associated with Darkness and Angels with Light, then it only makes sense for these new foes to stand in the middle with Chaos. Which also may owe to the fact that human shapes(given humans may also be of Chaos) are found all over their bodies.

3. Rodin's nature as a BonusBoss in previous games has revolved around him trying to regain his lost powers, as well revealing he was thrown out of Paradiso for inciting a rebellion. He is something of a fallen angel similar to Lucifer, essentially the one character most anyone thinks of when thinking of Hell.

4. His nature as a BonusBoss ties in with how easily Bayonetta was killed in the teaser.

And so, due to a very, very bitter quarrel with her father (which may even end up with a fight to the death), Bayonetta β2 renounces her Lumen heritage by taking out her right eye, and with it, any possibility of her cultivating any Lumen powers. This, for example, may result in her being unable to use Angel weapons unlike Prime Bayonetta who can.

[[WMG:Luka, not Antonio, discovered Bayonetta in Viola's universe.]]
The franchise dabbles in FairytaleMotifs, so Luka waking Bayonetta from her 500 year slumber a la ''Literature/SleepingBeauty'' would help explain how their relationship was close enough to [[spoiler:have a life and a daughter together]]. This Luka variant fulfilling Prince Charming's role is especially appropriate if he also was [[spoiler:the reincarnation of [[VideoGame/BayonettaOriginsCerezaAndTheLostDemon Prince Lukaon]].]]

Currently we only have a huge artillery cannon with a dragon's mouth decor, a flaming KillerYoYo, a massive club with built-in chainsaw which can shapeshift into mini train, a mic stand, a pair of CombatHandFan, a detachable pair of tower shield, a top hat-slash-ClassyCane ensemble, and a huge anchor.

[[WMG:Bayonetta β2 had a severe falling-out with her father and ripped out her own right eye so as not to be reminded to him.]]
While the Left Eye and Right Eye are mostly-metaphorical concepts in Bayonetta verse referring to the most prominent Umbra Witch and Lumen Sage in the world respectively, it's also possible that a Witch's/Sage's literal eyes ''do'' serve as something of a conduit for these Eyes of The World Power, given that we do sometimes see Bayonetta's left eye flicker when she uses magic (such as when summoning her wings in ''2'').\\

Just felt like throwing around what's been jossed and what hasn't.



to:

* Jossed. Bayonetta mainly fights the Homunculi, and has a few encounters with angels and demons, [[spoiler:and Luka's fae werewolf-like transformation]].




to:

* Jossed. It's entirely set in the Realm of Chaos, including a "rift" between its parallel universes. Inferno and, for the first time, Paradiso are never even visited in gameplay.




to:

* Jossed




to:

* Jossed. The "third" character is instead Viola, who is played in the regular campaign.




to:

* Jossed



* All of these are jossed. The costumes are themed around Bayonetta's alternate counterparts, and the Nintendo outfits do not return.




to:

* The game proper does tease at [[spoiler:a new fae faction]], although they're not the central antagonists.




to:

* Demons can be found as minor and often optional encounters, but it doesn't hold much of an impact on the plot. While the Prologue has a Kraken demon attack along with the Homunculi, [[spoiler:it's Dark Eve's contracted demon, not one that came from the Gates being open]].




to:

* Semi-confirmed. The figure is one of Singularity's forms, and Singularity originates from the World of Chaos. The game's "rival" boss is Strider, who is [[spoiler:a resident of the World of Chaos (Luka) with a curse that originates from neither Paradiso nor Inferno.]]




to:

* Confirmed. Singularity can travel universes, erase anything with magic clouds, and bend space around him.



In the previous games, the mortal world had no idea about the conflicts taking place. With the exception of Luke Redgrave and Enzo, no mortals knew that Bayonetta or Jeanne still existed as Umbra Witches or were fighting angels, demons, or gods. This is because aside from collateral damage, the mortal world was unaffected by the conflicts that took place in Purgatorio, Paradiso, and Inferno. As evidenced by the army of what seem to be humans fighting against two giant monstrous creatures that appear to be neither angel nor demon, ''[[FromBadToWorse this is no longer the case.]]'' Whatever is attacking this time, the mortal realm is fully aware of it and is attempting to fight back. And it makes sense to do this, given that SerialEscalation is this series' raison d'etre.

* Confirmed




to:

* While not jossed by the game itself, the enemies are instead made from nanomachines and other highly advanced technology, with no signs of necromancy being involved in Singularity's powers.



* [[spoiler:Jossed. It's Luka.]]

to:

* [[spoiler:Jossed. It's Luka.Luka, and not a demon.]]




to:

* It's worth noting that ''spirits'' of characters have been seen before: Resentment can suck a person's soul out of their body, Gommorah can likewise separate a Witch's soul, and both of the first two game's final bosses get their bodies separated from their souls by the finisher. It's likely that if ghosts exist in the ''Bayonetta'' verse, they're spirits of people who for whatever reason managed to avoid being dragged to Paradiso or Inferno.

After all, umbra witches are doomed to go to Inferno once they die, but it's also known that any formerly-living being who spends enough time in Inferno can eventually become a demon themselves. So, given that the demon gets to make an appearance when Homunculi has all but taken over the threat spotlight, it must be an important character, and its stained-glass wings sort of evokes butterfly wings, and butterfly is one of Bayonetta's most well-known animal theme.
