I love how Abracadabra has all these attacks named after card games played with the French suited deck, then there's just "Reverse Card". If Moon of Mahakala counter attacks got names would be perfect for that attack.
Gomorrah the most volatile of all the infernal summons. And Bayonetta 3 was supposed to be his Redemption after that betrayal in the second game. To be fair her watch broke at the end of this game so the contract with him was nullified
To me, it always seemed like the Umbran Watch was merely the source of their power to be able to control summoned demons, not the contract itself. This would explain demons like Malicious, who don't follow the contract after it is made. Either way, once it broke, it was over as she had no power to hold Gomorrah.
Weaving Dress has a small likelihood of referring to a dress ship, which is a (typically leading) ship decorated with flags in commemoration of some kind of event. Considering the dress shape the tentacles make, it's probably just referring to that and isn't some kind of obscure pun. Also, "Brush Dumper" is called "Burashu Danpa" in Japanese. "nn" is one of Japanese only isolated consonants without a vowel attached, so it is often used to replace an "m" against a consonant in when converting something to katakana, but this also reveals the possibility of it being a misinterpretation of the word where it's actually meant to be "Brush Damper", meaning something that has a reducing or inhibiting effect. Brush could just be referring to long grass typically found near bodies of water, which fits with other attack names being related to bodies of water.

Ignis Araneae: The weapon's Demon Masquerade is based on Arachne. She used to be a normal human woman until she betrayed the gods and attempted suicide. This caused the goddess Athena to curse her into a spider after hanging. Arachne is also a common enemy in Devil May Cry 3, of which Bayonetta spun off from that series. Tartarus: Puppet shows were common in Renaissance age France, and used to entertain children. It makes sense in context of the weapon and Abracadabra since this is French Rosa and Bayonetta we're talking about. After this video, I've come to realize the quotes heard by Bayo and Jeanne whilst engaging in it's finisher are "Un, deux, trois! Welcome to the happy puppet show!" I don't know French that much, so I learned something new. Abracadabra: The name is usually said by magicians during tricks. It parallels to Bayonetta(Beta 4)'s uniform, despite relating to thieves. The Demon Masquerade form with the red and blue colors, and Miticantculi being twins could initially reference Agni and Rudra of Devil May Cry 3. Same goes with how bats usually form in packs when secluded in caverns, before heading out to hunt prey when night arrives. Cruel Altea: The lion leitmotif is understandable since the weapon was inspired from Voltron. Altea was also the name for an alien species allied with the main cast in the anime and 2017 Netflix reimagining(animated by the same studio behind Avatar The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, Studio Mir) Legendary Defender. Labolas could also allude to either the panthera or canis family of animals reincarnated as the demon, albeit with some slight variations.
I love the Demon Masquerade feature! The form changes are my favorite, with references to monsters and cultures- Fun Fact: Abracadabra’s bat split form references Rokurokubi, a vampire in Japanese mythos. Usually the form of a woman that can detach her upper body at night to fly around (with her bloody entrails hanging from her) and feeds on sleeping victims with a long tongue!!!
I love them too!! I love how gothic they look with the black colors and spiky shapes❤ also bayonetta looks amazing in a dark lip my fav demon masquarade is either baal’s or alraune’s
Two things 1. I feel the guns masquerade rage lacks oomph, like when it ends I always feel like it's missing one big last hit or something. 2. As a fun fact of all the masquerade rages the robbit libido deals the least damage (when all the hits connect) of any masquerade rage. Its damage is the same if you have a damge buff though (such as the one you can get from holding leg attacks)
I like how each masquerade matches it's associated area Gomorrah and Phantasmaraneae : Japanese Kaiju Movies and the legends of Jorogumo y Tsuchigumo Baal and Malphas: Winged egyptian goddesses such as Ma'at and Isis, bird headed egyptian gods such as Horus and Ra, and the frog headed goddess Heqet Umbran Clock Tower and Mictlantecuhtli brothers : European Architecture , European Marionettes , and the association with bats with darkness and vampiric humans turning into bats. WarTrain Gouon : This one is a little different , but it showcases the advanced technological knowledge of the Umbra throught Inferno, this can be connected to how Ancient Chinese military figures are characterized for their war strategy , this a why a war machine like demon was chosen, fitting this area.
Thank you so much for your support! I actually subtly put in a nod to the Umbran Portal Kick in my RIP breakdance part of their section lol (55:30 in the top right.)
one thing that would be nice for you to do (this is just an idea), try to theorize what the weapon color will be in bayonetta 4, i think it will be green because it is the opposite of purple in bayonetta 3 and you?
well... I also did a search on the likes of the person who named the bayonet weapons and I have a small theory, the name of the weapons for the next game if the viola is the protagonist, it could be greensleeves to show its maturity between a game and another or during the game
Poison is completely different from venom. Venom destroys cells while poison affects them in many different ways. Such as rashes boils, and scars. Venom stays inside the animals body like hypodermic syringe tube with stinger, teeth or spikes acting as the needle. While poison is usually covers the body such as the poison dart frog or poison ivy/oak. Fun fact if you touch poison ivy or oak you have short window to wash off the poison without suffering skin damage though it might also depend on the poison. Venom on the other hand if your bit or stung your gonna need an epiPen which are very expensive or antivenin which is rare and also very expensive in the thousands. And not all antivenin work with all venomous snakes. Also some snakes can be both poisonous and venomous. With the above attributes. Also ingesting poison can lead the death just as venom can but attacking you digestion system instead. A very unpleasant one at that. Like if you swallowed poison ivy oil your inside neck would tighten up and inflammation causing breathing issues not to mention your stomach reactions to the poison
I was mainly referring to it in a casual sense since people typically call venom poison. It's not accurate, but language does that sometimes. Maybe the move should have been called Poison Cycle lol
Now listen, about Bull Kiss's "Star In The Black" technique I have a better explanation: Viola is part faerie right, and the faeries are all about stars and constellations, while witches are all about darkness so Viola is literally a "Star In The Black" a faeries and a witch.
Wait, Viola’s Masquerade Rage is called “Wake Up!” ? … I think I know what this is a reference to, even more so with the design esthetics of the Faeries. Look up Kamen Rider Kiva, more specifically the Fangire and Kiva initial finishing move.
Woah! That would be super cool since I saw there's a tweet that says Hideki Kamiya watches the Kamen Rider series, although it's one where he says his favorite is Kamen Rider Ryuki. Good connection!
@@UmbranLumen It may only be my speculation but at this point it’s really no secret that Kamiya is a massive nerd of old movies, anime and especially tokusatsu properties. Viewtiful Joe and Wonderful 101 have shades of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, Bayonetta takes inspiration from a lot of Magical Girl stuff from Sailor Moon to Cutie Honey tho leaning more on the latter, and his upcoming Project GG seems to be his love letter to Ultraman I would suspect.
@@deathdealing8859 yeah, you can tell that she was an afterthought, but she makes up for it for having better lines during the demon masquerade ultimates
Ooo, good question. Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo's, but I do not like the Masquerade Rage move. My favorite Masquerade Rage move is a tie between Abracadabra's (because it's the most reliable damage wise I think at least the way I use it) and Tartarus's (because Un Deux Trois)!
Actually Ribbit-libido ult is a reference to one of the princes of hell called beelzebub the prince of gluttony and I think is also the inspiration to our demon Baal.
Purr we stan an educated queen😍
Jeanne’s voice lines are SO GOOD
i fear she outdone bayonetta 3's
I love how Abracadabra has all these attacks named after card games played with the French suited deck, then there's just "Reverse Card". If Moon of Mahakala counter attacks got names would be perfect for that attack.
0:15 why is this actually terrifying 😭😭😭
Mistress Of Atrocity 🤭🦋
Kinda funny that Bayonetta says "Time to take the gloves off" because butterflies taste through their feet
Tasting your enemies’ blood just went a level higher😂😂
Now that I think about it, basing Rosa B4’s weapon on Greek mythology makes a lot of sense considering that timeline is arguably the most tragic.
Gomorrah the most volatile of all the infernal summons. And Bayonetta 3 was supposed to be his Redemption after that betrayal in the second game. To be fair her watch broke at the end of this game so the contract with him was nullified
To me, it always seemed like the Umbran Watch was merely the source of their power to be able to control summoned demons, not the contract itself. This would explain demons like Malicious, who don't follow the contract after it is made. Either way, once it broke, it was over as she had no power to hold Gomorrah.
Gomorrah is raw primitive power. If Bayo lose control over him, Gomorrah unleash his true nature... So its useful Demon but dangerous to hold too.
I think the watch helps her channel her magic better to control wild Infernals such as Gommorah

59:26 I saw that ;)
Also I totally agree we should have got serious mode/umbran climax for SF and LiB, I thought we would have tbh
Literally! It could have been activated the same way as Masquerade Rage.
Even if it was just a reskined masquerade attack it would have been nice

It also gives you both buffs after the rage ends though so it makes up for it, especially if you finish Baal's song right after.
