Summary
Bayonetta is a hack n' slash game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and PC. Directed by Hideki Kamiya, creator of Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, and Okami, at Platinum Games in cooperation with publisher Sega. Set in Vigrid, a fictional city in Europe, the game centers on its title character Bayonetta, an Umbra Witch who is unable to remember her past after waking up from a coffin in the bottom of a lake. She travels to Vigrid, wishing to learn more about her past after learning about something known as the Eyes of the World. She is capable of wielding four handguns, among other weapons, to preform magical attacks to defeat Angels and other enemies. It has gained high critical acclaim for its action packed gameplay.
The series later received a second installment for the Nintendo Wii U and later the Nintendo Switch directed by Yuske Hashimoto. On Christmas Eve in New York City, Angels begin to attack and are dealt with by Bayonetta and her best friend and fellow Umbra Witch, Jeanne. However, after a summoning goes out of control, Jeanne sacrifices herself to save Bayonetta and has her soul dragged to Inferno (Hell) in the process. In hopes to save her friend, Bayonetta travels to the sacred mountain of Fimbulventr to find a way to descend into Inferno and save Jeanne, but along the way encounters a mysterious boy by the name of Loki who is unable to remember his past, similarly to Bayonetta in the events of the first game.
The third installment of the game directed by Yusuke Miyata and published for the Nintendo Switch focuses on the mysterious invasion of mysterious new lifeforms led by Singularity. The arrival of these creatures on Bayonetta's world is accompanied by the arrival of a mysterious young woman by the name of Viola who reveals the invaders to be homunculi, manmade bioweapons wreaking havoc on multiverse. This new threat leads Bayonetta making way with Viola to the island of Thule, bringing her to the many alternate universes of the World of Chaos in hopes of stopping the destruction of the Trinity of Realities as a whole.
A prequel game to the series titled Bayonetta Origins is also in the works, which may include greater background of the verse and its capabilities as well as introducing new characters such as the Faeries which may carry along powerful new abilities.
Power of the Verse
Bayonetta is one of the most powerful action game verses with the lowest tiers of the verse being Unknown and the middle and high tiers being at least Multi-Continent level due to Gracious and Glorious being stated to be capable of destroying the world with a fraction of their power. The strongest characters of the verse reach Low Complex Multiverse level through Bayonetta 2 and 3 establishing the World of Chaos as containing infinite timelines. The space between these timelines is known as Ginnungagap, whose size in comparison to the timelines is likened as the universe encompassing the Earth, establishing it as a 5-D structure. Singularity's destabilization caused the collapse of Ginnungagap and the likes of Bayonetta (Bayonetta 3) can fight Singularity and his higher forms.
In the speed department, the low tiers are in the Massively Hypersonic+ department due to low ranking angels like Fearless utilizing natural lighting in combat. The middle tiers and upwards reach Massively FTL+ through Irenic being capable of crossing Paradiso in a day which higher ranking angels possess capabilities beyond that. The top tiers also likely reach Immeasurable speeds by being able to run through time when entering Muspelheim.
The verse also holds a handful of powerful hax such as Time Manipulation, Existence Erasure, and Fate Manipulation. Holders of the Eyes of the World carry along abilities such as Conceptual Manipulation, Reality Warping, and Pocket Reality Manipulation. The many weapons of the verse additionally hold useful powers including, but not limited to, Soul Manipulation, Deconstruction, and Absolute Zero.
