History VideoGame / Bayonetta3

* CharacterSelectForcing: The G-Pillar's agile Demon Masquerade form remains a valid and arguably optimal way to gather Umbran Tears from the fast-moving Shadow Cats and Midnight Crows.

** When Viola crashes in the middle of a desert during the Cairo segment, she eventually becomes so exhausted that she shambles forward slowly as you struggle to move her forward.

** Take a good look at Strider's cape when you fight him the first time. The color and tails of it [[spoiler:resemble Luka's longcoat, hinting they are one and the same.]] Also isn't it just a bit of a coincidence that Luka's first talk with Bayo in the game comes ''after'' [[spoiler:the Strider battle?]]

* AwardBaitSong: "We Are As One', played during the credits, is very different from the upbeat tunes of the previous games [[spoiler:but fitting to this one's very somber ending]].

** All four side chapters take elements from either VideoGame/MetalGearSolid or VideoGame/MetroidDread.

* GrandFinale: [[spoiler:This game serves as the conclusion to Cereza's story. In the ending, she is ultimately dragged down to Inferno alongside Luka, and their daughter Viola becomes the new Bayonetta to continue her legacy.]]

* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: We have the now-standard quadruple-wielded handguns with BottomlessMagazines -- this time tripled-barreled and with alternate fire laser blasts -- an [[{{BFG}} anti-tank rifle]] that [[CarryABigStick also makes for an effective bludgeon]], [[RocketPunch rocket-powered gauntlets and boots]] that fire [[KillItWithIce freezing lasers]], and a MorphWeapon that changes between angelic and demonic.

* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: In keeping with series tradition, Bayonetta's new weapons are some of the most outlandish yet.

%%* InformedAttribute: 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.

** The Records of Time intro shows a version of Bayonetta getting killed by Singularity. [[spoiler:He attempts this on the player Bayonetta midway into his FinalBoss battle (implied to be him rigging the outcome of the battle), only this time, it doesn't work.]]

** Before the FinalBattle, Luka tosses Viola a lollipop and gives her a nickname in "Violeta", just like he originally gave the child Cereza a lollipop and calls Bayonetta "Cerezita". [[spoiler:This is because Viola is his and Bayo's daughter.]]
** [[spoiler: In the early stages of the FinalBattle, Bayonetta gets the upperhand that the souls of Bayonetta's alternate selves starts leaking from Singularity's body. After a collaborative beatdown with the help of all Bayonettas, Prime Bayonetta is able to get a clean gunshot through his chest center leaking out three additional souls. One of them was Jeanne. The other two? They were the Bayonettas from the past two games preparing their BigDamnHeroes entrance just when Singularity was about to off our protagionist.]]
** Throughout the game, Singularity repeatedly refers to Bayonetta as 'Arch-Eve Origin',[[spoiler:foreshadowing that among all the Arch Eves her power holds special significance that even Singularity could not fully account for.]]

* MilitariesAreUseless: JGSDF forces from the pink-haired Bayonetta's universe completely fail to even scratch the monsters with their normal bullets and get utterly slaughtered, showing that even with military training and weapons, humans simply can't face supernatural entities without the use of supernatural powers or weapons, which is shown very well by how Bayonetta makes short work of them with her superhuman body, magical guns, and SummonMagic. The French military fares even worse, as they are overtaken by parasitic Homunculi and become enemies.

French military fares even worse, as they are overtaken by parasitic Homunculi and become enemies.

** One of the Homunculi is a skyscraper-sized shark-like monster big enough to eat Gomorrah in a single bite, introduced causing a massive wave that floods New York. [[spoiler:It later assumes a NotZilla form, prompting Bayonetta to augment Gomorrah into Sin Gomorrah to match it.]]

* OffModel: The beauty mark on Bayonetta's face at the beginning of the game is missing. Justified, as it's not the ''main'' Bayonetta, but a variant of her.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Singularity is destroyed and the world and the others across the multiverse are back to normal, and Jeanne was apparently restored to life as well, but both Arch Eve Bayonetta and Luka are dragged into Inferno together. However, Viola, daughter of Bayo and Luka, has inherited the title of Bayonetta and continues to do odd jobs for Rodin and Enzo is reunited with his family. Despite being in Inferno, Rodin also makes it clear Luka (and thus Bayonetta) are still around and having him keep tabs on Viola.]]
