* It may not be the same Gomorrah, and regardless she doesn't seem to have any issue with using things that want to kill her or others if they are useful (like Alraune).

** I forget if it was her mole's location or lack of a mole, but this combined with her unique guns suggests Viola's mother is a different Bayonetta who simply had the hairstyle from Bayonetta 1 at the time (it was noted in a developer interview that Bayonetta changes her hairstyle frequently). As for the other questions, perhaps Viola indeed stayed to replace the Bayonetta of that world, but without more information we can't say for sure.

* ...Viola's mom? Because it seems like it was the one from the first game, who died in the intro. And presumably, that world's Luka was her father. But the ending seems to imply that all Singularity's victims/universes were restored, so shouldn't Viola be back in the Bayonetta 1 universe with her parents, instead of staying in the Bayonetta 3 universe with Bayonetta and Luka watching over her from Hell? Did she maybe just stay there because that world needed a Bayonetta? Or did Singularity's defeat close off the dimension portals so she didn't have a choice?

** This question could use some detailing beyond the folder title, like what is it in their character bios that you seek to have explained further? The entries together explain that they started out as the Luka and Bayonetta of Singularity's world, and after dying their anger and resentment stayed in the living world, absorbing the same anger and resentment of other Lukas and Bayonettas from other universes until they became living masses of hatred. One could presume the mechanism that caused those feelings to merge waas the same one Singularity was using to merge the multiverse. The big question then becomes how Arch Eve Origin Bayonetta managed to take over Dark Eve in order to give Viola her test.

[[folder: How did Singularity get his powers?]]
* How did Singularity, an AI who fashioned himself an artificial part human body, acquire the power of Phenomenal Affirmation, the ability to make certain phenomena across the Multiverse defined according to his will, i.e. control fate how he sees fit? That's not the kind of power an artificial being would be able to have or acquire since the fate controlling powers lied with Aesir (before he split himself into Loki and Loptr) and the Right Eye and the Left Eye he gave to the Lumen and the Umbra, but they are in no way mentioned in Bayo 3. None of the Bayonetta's, not even Alphaverse!Bayonetta, are shown or mentioned to possess the Left Eye, there's no talk of the Right Eye.

** My assumption was that a lot of it came down to Singularity developing his organic technology to the point that it mimicked or outright exceeded magic, basically turning natural into supernatural. Some of his creations are noted to be intended to mimic gods. That he could do all this I took to be the fulfillment of what was said in ''Bayonetta 2'' about humanity having greater destructive potential than both demons and angels. Keep in mind Singularity came into existence in a world that had already mastered biology to the extent that they could casually manufacture any body part. As for how he managed to kill the Bayonetta of his universe and thus start collecting her power, perhaps he got lucky, and/or she was not a particularly strong Bayonetta (for instance, the Bayonetta of Alternate France in the game is stated to be a good deal less powerful than her mother). As for travel between worlds, it seems to be technology that was developed in various worlds, Singularity's just mastered it first (as Viola notes).
Added DiffLines:
** While it is to my knowledge not fully explained, a hint may be found in one of the character bios where it is stated that at least Singularity believes Arch Eve Origin is a symbol of the Realm of Chaos in its entirety. If this is so, perhaps her existence, for whatever reason, has power and influence beyond simply the Eyes of the World.

[[folder: Singularity's Power?]]
* How was it exactly that an artificial intelligence/bioweapon was able to destroy multiple universes and trump thousands of Bayonettas? How was Singularity's power able to be greater than the likes of Jubileus, Queen Sheba, and Aesier/Loptr-Aesir, literal primordial deities who have existed since the beginning of time? It took Bayonetta (and Jeanne) summoning Queen Sheba to deal the final blow to Jubileus, and it took Loki (one half of a deity) to erase the Eyes of the World from existence so Loptr (the other half of the deity) could be defeated. By the time we meet him in game, Singularity has seen and destroyed 2,043 worlds and therefore absorbed 2,043 Bayonettas and their powers. It would make sense that it would take someone of Bayonetta's strength, or ''thousands'' of Bayonettas, to beat Bayonetta, but how was Singularity able to defeat the Bayonetta of the Alphaverse? And how was he able to absorb her power in the first place as well as be able to travel between worlds? It just doesn't seem plausible.

* Over the course of the game, we get a fairly good definition of what the beings Singularity refers to as Arch Eves are. Namely they are the most powerful person currently living in a given universe in the Realm of Chaos, usually a Bayonetta. In the absence of a god like Aesir, Bayonetta basically embodies the power that "binds" (to quote Singularity in one scene) a universe to existence. Killing her and absorbing her power enables Singularity to destroy/merge that entire particular universe. Arch Eve Origin is special in that her power embodies/i s a symbol of the Realm of Chaos in its entirety and Singularity regards her as an existence worth keeping away from him if possible, though how or why this particular Bayonetta has these qualities I am unsure of. So then what is an Arch Adam? They do not seem to need to be absorbed by Singularity to accomplish his purposes, and while he is aware of their existence he does not regard them as a threat. Their power is also usually not noteworthy, Lukaon having great power seems more a thing about him in particular rather than something that defines an Arch Adam (though it does influence them). The closest thing to an answer I can see is Luka's words about how his purpose is to get Bayonetta where she needs to go, i.e. the purpose of an Arch Adam is to guide a Arch Eve, and they fulfill this purpose when Lukaon merges all of them together into Arch Adam Origin. There is also a bit about how Lukaon and Dark Adam were vying for influence over Arch Adam Origin, presumably to interfere or assist in this purpose respectively. But is there something more I am missing?
