These things about ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]:
** Bayonetta herself gets a ton of it.
*** [[Moviebob]], in his guise as The Game Overthinker, believes Bayonetta is not so much sexually appealing as much as she is ''[http://gameoverthinker.blogspot.com/2010/02/episode-32-i-heart-bayonetta.html sexually intimidating]'', and feels she is unique in this regard.
*** There is quite a debate on Bayonetta's sex appeal nature. Is she blatant adolescence pandering, or is she a satire of said pandering? And if it is the latter, does it fall into the [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]] problem? The way she's characterized and framed by the narrative is also called into question often; unlike most
*** Bayonetta is a witch who is allied with the forces of Hell, the type of character that is ''usually'' evil, but in a setting, lampoons the traditional concepts. So in this camp setting, she's likely supposed to satirize the [[Evil Is Sexy|Evil is Sexy]] cliché.
*** She might also be a [[Stepford Smiler]]. Think about it, how do you cope with the fact you're ''doomed''? You've entered a bargain with the Devil, you've ''accepted'' eternal damnation in exchange for your powers, you have no way out, and sooner or later, he's going to come and collect. Maybe her dry wit and sex appeal nature is her way of keeping sane and blocking it out of her mind.
*** The lyrics to her theme song "Mysterious Destiny" support this, claiming that she buries her loneliness deep down in her eyes and that sadness lies in her smile.
** Enzo, [[Butt
* [[Broken Base]]: The motionless models used in certain cut-scenes. Some argue that it was a creative way to make the game stand-out, as well as likely a way to save large amounts of the budget for actual gameplay sections, not to mention a great way to slow down the pace to allow the over-the-top fight scenes to seem even more impressive. Others, however, argue that it comes off as more lazy than a style choice.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Father Balder seems like a pretty straightforward example given that he was responsible for the genocide carried out against the Umbra Witches, {{spoiler|until the sequel reveals that he was being manipulated by Loptr, who does qualify for this trope}}.
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: Asides from... everything else in the game, there's:
** One
** The first time we meet Joy, cue the gentle laughter when there's a little impromptu dance off. Drop your jaw in shock/horror/hilarity when Joy chooses to finally... ''reveal'' herself. And then the line is tossed out of the window when you perform the torture attack on her.
* [[Crossover Ship]]: [[Devil May Cry|Dante]]/Bayonetta is a surprisingly popular one.
Line 71 ⟶ 73:
** The beginning of chapter 8 and the "disapearing platforms" part in chapter 15 also qualify on [[Play Station 3]], mainly because [[Game Breaking Bug|the framerate operates a breathtaking drop in these two specific parts]].
