* With the idea of multiverses in Bayonetta, the very title of the game becomes JustForPun if you think about it. Afterall, Bayonetta, Bayonetta 2 and Bayonetta 3 doesn't just refer to the title of the game and what order it goes in, but also can allude to the idea that we're playing a different Bayonetta (the character) each time!

Don't see how that is fridge.


* To regain some health, Jeanne can either take a shower or go to the bathroom, provided you acquire the toilet paper. However, both are exclusive to the first two stealth missions. Also, when a passing Homunculi tries to take a peek at Jeanne's naked body in the shower cabin, she'll use her cat-like reflexes to wipe out said Homunculi & either call it a bastard or claim to have killed for less.

** Alternatively, the reason there's no scene of her being dragged off to Inferno is because if she, or any of the other playable characters for that matter die, Singularity wins. And Singularity's ultimate goal is TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, wiping out all of the Trinity of Realities (Paradiso, Inferno, and the World of Chaos). We don't see her being DraggedOffToHell because if she dies, then everything is gone and replaced with whatever Singularity wants.

We don't see her being DraggedOffToHell because if she dies, then everything is gone and replaced with whatever Singularity wants. The fact that the game over screen is white like fog of erasure instead of the usual black is another support; when our playable character falls, there's no one left to stop Singularity from engulfing the universe with his fog, which is why all we see is white fog.
** Heck, every time Bayonetta finishes her trip in a doomed world, we also see the entire scenery around her turn white. Essentially, this game over screen of white fog also applies to the doomed worlds.

* For that matter, Bayonetta not using the Deadly Sin ritual in the two previous games makes sense in hindsight. In the first game she's not up to par and struggling with memory loss. Stands to reason she wouldn't have all of her secret techniques anymore. Even if she did, the ritual would have been AwesomeButImpractical since the boss Angels she fights don't need that level of power. Balder was also capable of instantly killing her summons and Aesir could banish them with ease, so using it against them wouldn't have worked out well either.

** If Gomorrah is any indication, while maybe not all demons subsist entirely on Paradiso beings (Bayonetta herself mentions when opening a hellgate to drag Arch-Iridescence down that demons would prefer "the taste of the righteous"), they still would rather be summoned to kill angels, and thus unwilling or unable to be ordered to use their full might against the Homonculi willy-nilly. Thus, just like Demon Slave, Deadly Sin ritual may be a last-ditch skill to upgrade demons to their highest-possible power in situations where they cannot use their full potential on their own.

forgot she did use it near the start of the game but the rest still makes sense


* The difficulty and tedium that comes with trying to play as Viola [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration makes a lot more sense]] when you consider that the young umbran witch is still pretty green when it comes to fighting and honing her powers. Note Viola doesn't even have a demonic sponsor yet, so she's not even a full witch yet and therefore missing a ton of the power she should have. This also explains her weird method of using witch time, she can't use it on command like real witches can, she's not even using witch time at all, the parry just gives her a few extra seconds to react. This explains why she doesn't have any time manipulation puzzles like Bayonetta does, she can't actually manipulate time yet.

* Baal Zebul's description states that she only reveals her true form to the witch she makes a pact with and anyone else who sees it dies soon after. This Baal's mistress was actually Egyptian Jeanne, not Bayonetta. With that in mind you'll notice that everyone who witnessed Baal Zebul's performance (French Bayonetta, Singularity and Bayo 3) is dead shortly after.

* It is stated in the character bios that faeries only exist in a relative few universes within the multiverse, and this information combined with what is revealed in ''Origins'' shows that these same universes are the ones that produce Bayonettas that live very similar lives to each other and look fairly similar compared to the more divergent Bayonettas seen in the ''3''. This would appear, however, to be no coincidence when one realizes these likewise are the only universes shown to have versions of Luka. The implication is that for Luka to exist, that universe needs to have had a Lukaon (who can only be born in universes where fey exist) who died after bonding with Cereza as a child (''Origins'' showing that for Lukaon to grow into the version we see in ''3'', Cereza has to die instead). The souls of dead fey are noted in ''Origins'' to not go to Paradiso nor Inferno, with the implication being they reincarnate, explaining Luka's fey powers and why Lukaon can be a version of Luka despite him having been born centuries earlier. Likewise, Luka's multi-life connection to Cereza explains why he asserts his purpose is to help get her to where she needs to be, and she only achieves her most iconic forms and feats in universes where he provides her guidance (in one way or another) both as Lukaon and as Luka.

* One version of Bayonetta is part of VideoGame/TheWonderful101 as Wonder-Bayonetta, is only received after getting every unique Bottlecap. Even after fighting off the GEATHJERK invasion, this was one battle that the Wonderful 101 were never going to win.

* If one has seen the Prologue and the Final Chapter, one can denote that they share many similarities. Namely, the fights end up with Singularity and Bayonetta crashing back to Earth after a fight in space (at least implying Bayonetta β0 may have fought the same fight up to that point). Of course, there are two major differences in how the fight ends up: the first being that Bayonetta 1 and 2 did not show up, and the second is ''neither has Luka''. The first can be argued as not there due to lacking a connection to Prime Bayonetta, but in Luka's case, Viola's words seem to imply that he's been plagued by his Wereform even in her timeline. Given how she responds to Prime Bayo's attempt to chase after him and the fact β0 Luka presumably didn't have Lucaon helping him out, ''was β0 Bayonetta forced to kill the man she loved and had Viola with'', and was Viola's response of leaving it to her because she wanted to prevent it from happening again?

* The first game takes place largely in the realms of Paradiso, the second sees Bayonetta traveling across Inferno to save her Umbran sister. Only makes sense now that the game largely takes place in the realm of chaos. Much like how the main threat is manmade, this completes the heaven-hell-chaos trinity.

* The idea that there's an entire Multiverse that belongs to the World of Chaos alone might sound like abit of an AssPull, but it's not like the idea hasn't been present in other games.
** For starters, the Remembrances of Time at the beginning of Bayonetta 1 and 2 are said to have taken place in different universes than the main stories of the game they've taken place in.
** In Bayonetta 1, Bayonetta bringing Cereza back into the past had resulted in a divergent timeline as per the WordOfGod, with the awakening of Cereza's Left Eye of Darkness awakening Bayonetta's own.
** Finally, in Bayonetta 2, when Luka explains the story of Aesir and how he gave up his Eyes of the Overseer to allow humanity to have the free will to choose, it sounds awfully close to the idea of Multiverse Theory. The idea being that with each branching decision humans make, there is another universe where they made a different decision, with the idea being that giving humanity the ability to choose lead to the creation of making different timelines where those choices lead to different paths. The image where Luka talks on humanity gaining the ability to choose also comes with the image of a human at a cross-roads, which could reference this.

* Alraune's appearance in Phenomenal Remnant 4 seemingly doesn't make sense at first. How did she break out of Alruna? Why don't we have Alruna on us if we continued from Bayonetta 2? Well, consider that at the end, we're revealed that this is a multiverse and Bayonetta 1 and 2's timelines are confirmed as separate timelines and they got wiped out long ago by Singularity's own words! Without anyone to use the weapon, Alraune could plausibly break free and return to Inferno, appearing back into any multiverse she wanted to!
