%%* TheWorfEffect:

%%NOTE: This is an unreleased work that is currently not available to the public. If you would like to add a trope based on promotional materials, please come discuss it in this thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15514631230A64268600

* BarrierWarrior: Unlike the Masked Lumen in the ''Bayonetta 2'' teaser, this villain stops Bayonetta's bullets cold with an electrical shield that disintegrates them instead of slowing down time.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: The villain's black eyes stand out from the rest of their purple BattleAura body.
* CurbStompBattle: Bayonetta is on the receiving end of one from the new villain.
* DramaticDrop: After Bayonetta takes an apparently lethal attack from the new villain, she drops Parsley and Sage, which bounce in a way that forms the Umbran magic seal.

* HandHidingSleeves: The villain's "outfit" does this when their arms are at their sides.
* ImColdSoCold: The battlefield Bayonetta apparently dies on is foggy, slippery, and rainy.
* MagicalGesture: The villain's strongest attack involves holding their hands up and pulling them apart to create a rift.

* ShockAndAwe: Bayonetta's attacker fights with electricity and RealityWarper powers.
* ShootingSuperman: The usual Witch Time barrage does nothing against the new villain.
* SpentShellsShower: In another departure from previous games, the spent shell casings from Bayonetta's guns are all over the ground even though they've never been depicted before.
* SupernaturalIsPurple: The villain has a bright purple BattleAura, similar to Bayonetta when she's built up magic during battle, and may not even have a physical body.
* TheWorfBarrage: Bayonetta tries a Witch Time barrage that fails, just like in the Bayonetta 2 teaser.

* OffModel: The BeautyMark on Bayonetta's face is missing.

* AlternateTimeline: Implied; while Bayonetta's familiar red guns from the first game return, they're named [[https://imgur.com/a/Scy6Q "Whittingham Fair"]] instead of "Scarborough Fair," referring to a regional variant of the same song.[[note]]The largest difference isn't present, since Bayonetta's right-hand gun is still named Parsley and not Savory.[[/note]]

* BeautyMark: Notable aversion in that the one on Bayonetta's face is missing.

* BloodierAndGorier: While the previous two games were pretty gory in their own right, in a startling departure from the previous two games, Bayonetta is visibly bleeding from cuts on her face instead of losing rose petals as she usually does.
* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: The game's color theme appears to be purple, while the previous two were red and blue.

* DraggedOffToHell: Averted with Bayonetta because ''there's nothing left of her to drag.''

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Bayonetta is bisected and disintegrated by the villain in the reveal trailer.

* TheHeroDies: It's heavily implied that Bayonetta will die in the game; whether or not it'll be permanent, or even [[NeverTrustATrailer happen in the game itself]], remains to be seen.

* TheWorfEffect: What better way to hype up the power of a new antagonist than by having them kill the hero?
