A Prophet's Gambit. The Lore of BAYONETTA 2!

[@firetarrasque4667]

Bayonetta was sealed in approximately the year 1542. Lewis Carroll was born in 1832. Bayonetta references Carroll constantly. This means that, after waking up, Bayonetta decided to catch up on all the literature that had been published in the 480 years she had been asleep.

[@Dirty0o0Jester]

Well 20+ years of angel slaughter has to have quite a lot of downtime. Plenty of time to cozy up with a big ol book and a lollipop by the (burning car) fire and just sponge in all of the culture

[@fireflyer97]

I'd love for Luka to somehow manage to become a Lumen Sage in the future. If I remember correctly people aren't born witches or sages, they train to become one or the other. It would be reasonable that he could pull it off considering how determined he can be. It would be even funnier if he tried to become an Umbra witch. Could you imagine Luka wearing a skin tight hair suit like Bayonetta? That would be hilarious!

[@elena_the_strong3821]

Search up Creative Handle and look at the video titled "Don't need no Woman" it's hilarious 😂

[@touchedme1637]

That intrigues me

[@kpkazan]

If you were born with a lot of spiritual energy you could become a mage or sage, if you have very little you would not even be considered during the time the clans were alive Luka probably has very little

[@ToxicQueen2787]

Luka probably hates angels due to them brutally killing his dad him being a lumen sage would be Ironic

[@GregoryMom]

A male umbra witch would be amazing

[@cosmiccovegalaxy164]

You missed the part where the baby in the stroller left one of Loki's cards for Bayonetta and the cards come raining down, possibly implying that he already reincarnated into that baby

[@LokiToxtrocity]

The baby didn't just have one card, he had several in hand.

[@LokiToxtrocity]

[@ruinparadox4812]

Dude, you cannot tell me that Luka totally isn't a Lumen Sage. I mean seriously, there's a mountain where people disappear on a probably regular basis whenever they try to climb it, planes mysteriously explode, and the path to the mountain is nigh on impossible to traverse. And you're telling me, that this regular ass human with nothing but a grappling hook, easily makes it to the top without any problem? Seriously, it can't be a coincidence that this dude can ever so casually keep up with a bunch of people who have otherworldly powers with *JUST* his grappling hook.

[@touchedme1637]

Ikr it makes all the fighting we go through go complete bullshit 😂

[@tgnoat910]

I would say that him surviving all of this is for the gags & giggles but I wouldn’t doubt that he has some sort of power to survive all of this, though I wouldn’t really like him to be a lumen sage because: 1- that would open/help the idea that Bayonetta might marry him and gives birth from him to create a new gen Daughter, which is one of the worst concepts that are heavily used in popular stories/franchises these days. + that would also turn Bayonetta from being this iconic lesbian with her awesome girlfriend… to some wife who’s apparently bi and she’s being overshadowed by her daughter/son💀 2- I really loved the idea of having Luka as what he is right now, following his father’s legacy and being an awesome journalist, he doesn’t need to have a bigger/different role because he already got an important role in the story that fits his character

[@SKsuprakirby]

Grappling hook > all.

[@jonjim1265]

@@tgnoat910 nobody ever made bayoneta to be a lesbian. Heck she likes guys based on her own wording from the first 2 games and the movie bayoneta 1.5 the game writers/studio released. W.E they choose to do with her on 3 will HOPEFULLY still respect the story and sentiment they made in the first 2. Him being a courageous well informed well timed and actively comedic relief for the game. And she does like him ... she doesn't treat him like trash unlike her other useful pawns.

From how you worded everything it definitely adds some potential for how Bayonetta 3 will pan out with its story. From the amount of uses and disruption to the flow of time, to absence of both eyes. It will be interesting to see what route they will go. BUT THANK YOU FOR THE BAYONETTA 2 LORE VID! I was looking forward to this! :D

Well well weeeelllll

[@mutanttepig4759]

I love how every single moment of this Bayonetta's life was lived in conflict, but it never concerns her because it is just a daily occurrence for her. I honestly wonder if her stay in Inferno will be lived in her causing chaos for the demons allowing for her to come back to the mortal world to help Viola with her inheritance. After all... she's not going down without a fight.

[@queerythingsart1455]

I have a crazy theory that the next bayonetta origins series will somehow involve cereal coming back from inferno

I seriously believe that the Bayonetta we saw in the Bayonetta 3 trailer is the Cereza that was sent back to her time from Bayonetta 1. Or some other version of Cereza/Bayonetta from possibly a different timeline due to the consequences of Bayonetta 2’s time meddling and erasing of the Eyes. I’m excited to see what happens! Platinum is gonna take us for a ride that is for sure ha!

[@coffeeking9565]

Not to mention, if Cereza is in an alternate timeline, where bayo 1-2 didn't occur, both eyes still exist. Maybe, bayo 3 will have something to do with reviving said eyes 👀

[@LunaP1]

It could be just the hair style. But then again, an alternate timeline could be plausible thanks to the time traveling shenanigans.

[@Zyleace]

@@coffeeking9565 Well in Bayonetta 1, Father Balder had the right eye while Loptr is inside him. Towards the end of Bayonetta 2, Loki destroyed the eyes and Balder absorbed Loptr, then they travelled back in time 500 years ago. How the hell did Balder regain the right eye for the events in Bayonetta 1 to occur? It's just gonna be a huge mess of explanation in Bayonetta 3. \(@_@\)

@@sylviegzlsprz yes because if you play the game u will see lol

[@DarkVideogamer]

it was mentioned in the bayonetta 1 lore vid that lumen sages and umbra witches are just people or beings with a large spiritual power. so it's possible that luka in fact has some spiritual power that was only awoken when he finally was able to face the truth of this father. and of course Rodan would benefit greatly from another person who could pay for his training or items.

[@orlonm]

I didnt even play Bayonetta, but I watched your previous lore video and was looking SO forward to this one!

FYI: Loki’s squirrel form is based on Ratatoskr Essentially the squirrel has ability to freely travel throughout the world tree.

[@j2minerblacksands881]

Thanks for explaining the overly complicated plot, Inferno knows no-one else would. I know its a meme to say that Bayo 3 will be Alians, but given the that the "Eyes of the World" sort of defined each realm & kept them from bleeding over into each other too much, so I have to wonder if we don't go Lovecraftian/Outer Gods for the next game.

[@bowieunrated2458]

Tiptoe is a professional PROFESSIONAL and let’s get ready for Bayonetta 3!!!!!!!

[@TiptoeTheTank]

Hell yes!! And thank you 😉

[@advmx3]

Well, we are at a point wherer I believe Rodin actually used to make weapons for Umbra Witches AND lumen sages since he seems to have affinity with both sides, as Father Rodin and the Infinite One. So I don't doubt that Luka is getting some tips and learning anything he can via Rodin, I wouldn't actually be surprised if Bayo 3 throws something like Luka actually training to become a Lumen Sage somehow at the end of it, since Bayo 3 will probably show what messing with the timelines constantly, a thing that Loptr loves to do, will create within the universe, but I'm sure what's happening there is something bigger than before. And who knows, maybe that "vergil' silluete we see on the end of the trailer for Bayo 3 is actually a version of Luka, he does hold Bayo's cat in his sword and she did call him Cheshire, the sword has a paw on it which resembles Lumen sages with dogs (while Umbra witches has an affinity with big cats), so who knows? I'm sure that I will buy Bayo 3 on release date just to find out without spoilers. xD

[@firetarrasque4667]

If I had to place a bet, I might say that what Umbra Witches are to Inferno and the Lumen Sages are to Paradisio, Luka is somehow becoming to Chaos. He needs glasses to see into Purgatorio becuase Purgatorio is the murky space in-between worlds, and he's still firmly grounded in one of them. He's just even *more* grounded in it than a normal person would be. There's a lot of stuff to love about Bayonetta, but one of my favorite things is the way that the lore is both fully formed and easily changed. We have a more-or-less clear picture of how the universe works, but there are so many empty spaces that could be filled without cheapening what already exists.

[@Ayanamiame]

Your explanation of Loptr's power of remembrance of time is really clear and eye-opening. and above all, your story telling is mad suave ;)

[@cjastrooo03]

I haven’t played a single Bayonetta game but watching this made me interested in the series and now I’m interest on the 3rd game that was announced

[@astraldog3359]

they are very good games 👍

[@popgas3821]

I would love you to cover Bayonetta 3 in the future! Also, for anyone who played this game for quite some time, understands that Rodin is the most dangerous (albeit an optional boss) opponent. IMO though, I always find Balder's final form the toughest since I think he's the most prone to dodging a freakin' lot (at least in infinite climax mode). Rodin may be fast and powerful but his AI tends to tank most attacks compared to Balder and I think it's the same as well for Aesir. Human enemies in this game are annoying man. But TOTALLY loved the game anyways. Can't wait for part 3!

[@NumbingDisasterAnon]

Considering the Jubelious vs Aesir bit, it seems that the Bayo series loves fucking around with teh idea of timelines (which should have been obvious with many instances in both games, but talking more in a grand meta narrative sense). Honestly, I can see the 3rd Bayonetta taking place in yet another timeline of a different origin story and the consequences of the two previous timelines starts mucking things up

[@hereiampercylover]

I love the new (I think they're new) chapter drawings. They're really pretty

[@nahuumchristians3299]

Bayonetta 2:" Luka is totally a lumen sage." Bayonetta 3:"Winx music intensifies"

[@ecru_5819]

Also I noticed something Balder can summon higher ranking Laguna with his feathers or whatever else. He just calls them forward. While Bayonetta when summoning an Infernal, she has to *pull it out of Inferno.* I mean I may be thinking on it too much, but it's interesting seeing how much force (or lack of) is used for Sages and Witches with summoning.

[@stampede274]

Well, he's not a Sage, but you were right about Luka being supernatural in some way lol

[@matthiasjones]

A great summary (I watched the first one too). I can say that I was impressed when I played it that they managed to do a time-travel plot that *prettyy much* felt coherent. It's such a tight-rope to walk, but they did well

[@blingsing5383]

Sounds like you had fun recording this one

[@DragonTamerRi]

I suspect a lumen sage could only disguise themself as an imbecile if they truly wished to conceal their identity from an umber witch. I’m also a fan of the theory of Luka being to chaos what the umber witches were to Inferno and the sages were to Paradiso. I do want to throw in a theory about Luka becoming a sort of counter balance to Bayonetta. While it’s true the eyes of the world are meant to balance each other, Bayonetta is something else, something new. She is an intersection of light and dark. The witches and sages balanced each other. I wonder if on some level Luka has become a new counterbalance to Bayonetta. They both seem to grow in power in relation to each other. I wonder if through their journeys in relation to each other Luka made himself the counterbalance or better yet, Bayonetta unconsciously chose him as such. Just my own little theory to throw on the bandwagon.

[@stefen777]
