![]() Somewhere out there in the "Bayonetta" multiverse, there is indeed a version of Cereza who was never put to sleep, never lost her memories, and presumably never renamed herself Bayonetta, but that is not the character whose story the first two games follow. The only difference is that, in the world of "Bayonetta," there may also be certain individuals who have the ability to share memories with versions of themselves from alternate timelines. For a useful reference point, this is also how time travel is handled in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Instead, they create an alternate timeline, a new parallel reality. The series has never taken the time to explain its time travel rules explicitly, but the evidence points towards it working as follows: when someone goes back in time and changes the past, they don't change their own timeline. This is perhaps the most confusing aspect of "Bayonetta" lore. In the end, Bayonetta wins the battle, shooting Balder in the face. ![]() All that remains is for the Left Eye of Darkness to awaken, but since that still has yet to happen, Balder attacks Bayonetta with the hope that this might stir the Eye. Once the two eyes are joined together, the combined power of the Eyes of the World can be unleashed, which will allow their wielder to remake reality as they choose. So, being the last Lumen Sage, Balder himself is the current holder of the Right Eye of Light. Similarly, the Right Eye of Light resides in the most powerful Lumen Sage. It seems that the Left Eye of Darkness is actually a force that resides in whichever Umbra Sage is the most power at any given time. ![]() ![]() What are these latent powers? Why, the powers of the Left Eye of Darkness, which it turns out isn't the stone that Bayonetta is carrying but Bayonetta herself. Because nothing he tried seemed to awaken the latent powers within her, Balder brought a young Cereza forward in time in an attempt to jog the hero's memories. Balder then reveals that Cereza is, in fact, Bayonetta from the past. Upon finally seeing Bayonetta defending the two of them from the angels, Luka realizes that the witch might not the villain he believed her to be.īayonetta goes to confront the ruler of Vigrid, whom she discovers is none other than Balder, her own father. As Bayonetta arrives to save them, Cereza uses her magical abilities to temporarily grant Luka the ability to see their invisible attackers. Later, Luka and Cereza are attacked by angels, who Luka is still unable to see, but apparently the young Cereza can. Cereza is scared of everything they encounter, but Bayonetta does her best to encourage the girl to be brave.Īt one point during their journey, Cereza falls into the hands of Luka, who takes it upon himself to look after the child, believing that Bayonetta has kidnapped her. Bayonetta reluctantly takes Cereza along with her, and protects her from bloodthirsty angels as she continues to search for the Right Eye. Her name is Cereza, and she looks a lot like a young Bayonetta, complete with dark hair and glasses. While travelling through Vigrid, Bayonetta also comes across a lost little girl. To that end, Balder became the dictator of the European city-state Vigrid, and used his immense power to search the world for his lost daughter, who he believed was the key to bringing about this apocalypse. Balder became obsessed with bringing about a prophecy to end the world, summoning the ruler of all angels, Jubileus, to destroy the three realities and create a single, perfect reality, just as it was before the First Armageddon. Over 500 years, an evil force inside Balder's mind slowly corrupted him and he changed from a kind and righteous man into a power hungry zealot. One Lumen Sage also lived: the exiled Balder. However, the Sages' angel masters remained, hunting Jeanne - and searching for Cereza - for the next five centuries. Jeanne also survived the battle, wiping out the last Lumen Sages. She rested there until the coffin was opened, and since Umbra Witch magic prevents them from aging, this ended up being a very long time. To prevent Cereza's immense power from falling into the wrong hands, Jeanne cast a spell to put Cereza to sleep inside a coffin, and she hid that coffin at the bottom of a lake. Since Cereza was unable to fight, Jeanne made a difficult decision.
