Bayonetta 3 is a grand old time of a game featuring the kind of frenetic combat and off-the-wall setpieces that we've come to expect from the series. Of course, one other thing longtime fans have come to expect of the series is mildly nonsensical plots, but even among the other games in the series, Bayonetta 3 is downright bizarre.
As a common symptom of stories that introduce the concept of a multiverse, Bayonetta 3's plot gets a bit lost at times, resulting in some decidedly confusing developments and character motivations. There are quite a few questions worth asking about how this story shakes out, but these are some of the most pressing ones.
Please be advised we're getting into major story spoilers for Bayonetta 3.
9 ও How Did Singularity Get His Abilities? 🤪
According to the Archives, Singularity isn't actually an offshoot of Dr. Sigurd. Rather, he was produced by an accident at a bioplant creating artificial body parts. He's just as much of a Homunculus as his minions are. Why, then, does he have this seemingly-limitless ability to manipulate the fabric of space-time?
Sigurd's entry clarifies that he had developed the ability to communicate between world lines, but communication is a far cry from teleportation and manipulation. Even if you assume Singularity killed his reality's Sigurd and took his research, at what point does that lead to him 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:becoming borderline omnipotent?
8 How Did 🐟Viola Get Reality-Jumping Tech? ꦆ
During the in-media-res battle between Viola's Bayonetta and Singularity at the start of the game, we see Sigurd pull out a little cube thing and place it around Viola's neck. This, apparently, was what allowed Viola to transcend realities and seek help from Bayonetta prime. How exactly did Sigrud get that technology, though?
The Archives state that Viola's Sigurd and Sigurd Prime had been in communication with one another, but seeing as these cube things are apparently a limited resource, the only way he could've gotten one is by swiping it from Singularity. Where could the Resistance have possibly gone to take such valuable technology from Singularity, and how did any of them survive?
7 Why D𝓰id Kraken Show Up At The Beginning Of The Game? 🌟
During the game's prologue chapter, Bayonetta and Jeanne are suddenly attacked by the Infernal Demon, Kraken. Bayonetta offhandedly notes that the Demon seems like it was deliberately summoned, but the matter is never brought up again until the very end of the game when Viola battles Dark Eve.
According to the Archives, Dark Eve is just a wandering conglomerate of the souls of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bayonetta's lost counterparts, traipsing through the multiverse and attacking things. Why did it show up during Singularity's initial attack, though, and why does nobody mention it again? For that matter, how did Viola even manage to challenge it at the end of the game?
6 Why Is Luka A Giant Werewolf Thing♔?
The revelation that Luka and the Strider are one and the same isn't surprising, but it raises a handful of questions. One particularly pertinent one is why Luka even turns into a giant werewolf monster. According to the Archives, Luka's transformation results from both resonance with his counterpart, the Faerie King Lukaon, and possession by the restless spirits of other Lukas that lost their realities.
That makes some degree of sense, but why exactly does Luka plus Faerie King magic equal giant werewolf monster? It's Lukaon's power, but he's not a giant werewolf. Viola's version of Luka couldn't have been a giant werewolf either since she didn't recognize Luka as the Strider until he transformed right in front of her. There's a big gap between "Luka" and "giant werewolf" in the equation.
5 Where Did Viola's Fae Power Come From?
Speaking of bizarre faerie powers, how did Viola manifest her own Fae power? The obvious answer is that they're hereditary, with her being Luka's daughter, but that doesn't make any sense. As far as we know, the only alternate Luka with Fae powers is Lukaon; Viola's Luka should've been a completely normal guy.
You could say we're playing by JoJo's Bizarre Adventure rules and that Luka Prime's transformation into Strider caused some sort of knock-on effect. That's assuming, however, that the powers were unleashed by Viola resonating with Luka, who was, in turn, resonating with Lukaon and his other counterparts. Seems like it'd be a bit... diluted, but maybe that's why Viola's just a faerie and not a giant werewolf.
4 Why Aren't The Other Bayonettas Surprised To See Bayonetta Prime?
Throughout all the games in the series, Bayonetta has established a reputation for being generally unflappable. Giant monsters, Wicked Weaves, and reality-shattering cataclysms do go a long way toward taking the surprise out of life. That said, we only know that of our Bayonetta,🐻 Bayonetta Prime. Why, then, are all tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhe other Bayonettas so nonchalant about meeting their doppelganger?
It's not that strange from our Bayonetta's perspective since she's deliberately reality-hopping. Still, she should be the only one who even knows the Multiverse exists due to making contact with Viola. Despite that, upon meeting most of the other Bayonettas, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:their general reactions are "oh, cool, another me."
3 Why Can Bayonetta⛦ Keep Tearing He🍷r Heart Out?
Umbran Witches like Bayonetta and Jeanne have a knack for not dying; we know this much. That said, Bayonetta tears her entire heart out of her chest no less than five times throughout the story to summon empowered versions of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:her Demon Slaves. Where exactly is the line drawn between taking enough damage to kill an Umbra and them tearing th꧃eir entire hearts out?
The ritual Bayonetta performs with her exhumed heart doesn't seem to have much in the way of drawbacks beyond leaving her a bit winded afterward. Why, then, doesn't she just do it all the time? Call up Sin Gomorrah, ravage the countryside for a few minutes, and problem solved.
2 Why Does🌱 Singularity Keep Talking About "Predetermi𒆙ned Outcomes?"
In many of his little villainous monologues, Singularity goes on and on about how his victory is a "predetermined outcome" and that Bayonetta's battle against him is pointless. Exactly what evidence does he have to hold this belief, though? If we were dealing with a story that involved time travel (something this series is no stranger to), that'd be one thing, but we're dealing with timelines.
Singularity isn't from the future, so he doesn't have any particular reason to believe that his victory is a foregone conclusion. Perhaps he just thought saying pseudo-scientific stuff like that would psyche Bayonetta out, though it obviously didn't work.
1 Why Does S🔥ingularity Bother With The Chaos Gears? 🎃
Singularity's plan, at least as far as we can discern, was to have Bayonetta and company gather the Chaos Gears, then use the mechanism at the top of Thule to send them to the Alphaverse and seal the way behind them. Why did he need the Chaos Gears to do this, though? It's clear from the outset that he can send entities across timelines, given all the Homunculi, so what purpose do the Gears serve? And, for that matter, why bother having Jeanne infiltrate the secret base to retrieve him?
What, exactly, was preventing Singularity from finding Bayonetta and Jeanne, saying, "I'm Dr. Sigurd; I have a portal to the Alphaverse," and sending them off to their doom? This whole plan seems a bit needlessly complex.
