I never said that these games made much sense. Then befriend a past version of your dad, and then have to say goodbye to your dad as he sacrifices his free will to an evil god, resulting in all of this happening in the first place.

Here, with her memory fully restored, Bayonetta clearly has some parental issues. Not so much in Bayonetta 1 in which I can only really remember one or two moments where she showed any real weakness, but more so in Bayonetta 2. Of course, like all great characters, she has weaknesses. Other traits which Bayonetta possesses are her fun loving attitude, her snarky mouth, and between both games, it’s clear that she has a great deal of compassion towards kids, and her Umbran sister, Jeanne, showing that she’s far from being your stereotypical ice queen. It's a good message for those who suffer from low self-esteem, who are trying to get comfortable in their own skin. She loves who she is, and doesn't care what anyone thinks of her.

She flaunts it, she uses it and she is completely comfortable with it. Not at all.īayonetta is a character who is in complete control of her sexuality. Evidence for this claim includes the game's camera frequently focusing in on her butt, breasts or crotch, and the fact that she takes her clothes off while she fights.īayonetta is most definitely a sexual character, but is she really sexist? No. After all, the common consensus is that she's a sexist character. Now, upon reading the title of this article, you may have wondered how Bayonetta could possibly be a positive role-model.
