Bayonetta/Shout Out: Difference between revisions

** Perhaps an Expy, but consider Vigrid. Well-armed security forces, people openly walk around in holy dress...Vatican City with another name? (And possibly transplanted to France...)

*** Or Gaudi's dream city.

** Sega has had a long relationship with [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelion]]. If they're making a game with angels as the badguys they might as well reference it.

*** The context when the song [[Anime/End Of Evangelion|Fly Me to the Moon]] is playing...

** Bayonetta's Panther form resembles a black and gold [[Okami|Amaterasu]], even causing black roses to sprout behind her as she runs.

** At the beginning of the game, Bayonetta and Enzo are conducting the funeral of a guy named "[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Eggman]]" and the angel Halos which comprise the game's currency seem awfully familiar.

** One of the demonic beasts Bayonetta can summon is a reference to Phantom from ''Devil May Cry''. Both happen to be giant demonic spiders filled with lava. Oddly enough, it's portrayed in almost the opposite way; this demon is one of only ''two'' demons referred to positively. It is described as curious, rare, and willing to offer treasures or rare knowledge to those who find it, as opposed to the others which are for the most part described as brutal monstrosities.

** [[Christopher Walken|"I've got a fever and the only cure is more dead angels."]]

** If you beat the game on its hardest setting, you unlock a weapon called Pillow Talk, which is basically a green, lightsaber-ish sword, and was taken straight out of ''Okami'' (including the name), in which it was wielded by Waka during both battles against him.

*** The Laser blade also originated in usage with Zero from [[Mega Man X]] even before Hayato or Waka.

*** The Golem boss in Paradiso is basically an upgraded version of Yami, endboss of Okami.

** One of the [[Bonus Boss]] of the games attacks after you get his health halfway down is a [[Street Fighter|Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu]], complete with a blank screen and multiple hits shown. It drops your health down by [[Nintendo Hard|99% when you have full health, but kills instantly when you have less than 50% health left]]. [[Precision F-Strike|Fuck.]]

** Come on, Enzo?! Shares the same name with a man whose never appeared in the Devil May Cry games.

** [[Devil May Cry|"Flock off, feather face."]] Bayonetta's delivery is possibly even [[Narm|narmier]] than Dante's.

** Also from the first [[Devil May Cry]], In mission 17, when the [[An Ice Person|Frost's]] were introduced. It almost looked exactly like [[Demonic Spiders|Grace & Glory's]] [[Mook Debut Cutscene|intro cutsecene]].
