Bayonetta: Bloody Fate (ベヨネッタ ブラッディフェイト)

A long time ago, in a remote part of Europe, in a place called "Vigrid"...

lived those who were known as the observers of history.

The Umbra Witches, the followers of darkness.

And the Lumen Sages, the followers of the light.

The witches were in league with demons and the sages were allied with angels...

they were responsible for protecting the world...

by keeping the right balance between them.

However, the balance was lost suddenly.

It started because a sage and a witch violated the decrees that bound them...

and produced a child.

The woman was imprisoned and the man was banished...

but that was only the beginning.

"The intersection of light and dark will bring calamity to this earth."

That legend had become reality.

Right Eye and Left Eye govern the power of creation.

The forbidden child, who the witches took

charge of, possessed the powers of Left Eye.

When the two eyes are brought together...

the Creator Jubileus will be made incarnate and a New World will be created.

This is heaven's will and heaven's order.

The sages were on heaven's side, the witches were against them...

resulting in a conflict over Left Eye.

The conflict grew and grew until it became a

full-blown war between angels and demons...

and the world was sent hurtling towards destruction.

The sages and the witches died out in droves, and the war came to an end.

The truth of their existences slipped into obscurity.

The forbidden child grew up to be a witch...

but she was hidden away and sealed in a secret place...

500 years later...

The witch, who hunts angels, has returned...

"Mass suicide in Ragna church."

Fleur de Cirey...

I am the way into the city of woe.

I am the way to a forsaken people.

I am the way into eternal sorrow.

Abandon all hope ye who enter here.

I am the way into the city of woe.

I am the way to a forsaken people.

I am the way into eternal sorrow.

Abandon all hope ye who enter here.

What's going on?

This time, I'll reveal her for who she really is.

Look what you've done to my outfit. You're so impatient.

You presume too much. I'm not the partner you seek.

It was a wonderful performance, Rodin.

But of course, Bayonetta.

By the way... is my Knight ready?

Whether you'll like him or not is another thing.

The Elfin Knight.

It is a good name for a knight's weapon.

The fun's only just started.

What's going on?

Beautiful!

MY Car!

I'm still paying the loan.

This is bad!

I must become the cornerstone of Left Eye.

Unleash all your powers of darkness.

What are you talking about?

The Creator will soon return.

You're wasting your time.

What's going on here?

My infernal partner is telling me he's hungry!

He'd be quite satisfied with a catch like you.

It's dinnertime, my sweet.

Oh, I forgot. There's another reason why I'm hunting you.

I take pleasure from watching your face distort with pain.

Transform the world into what it should be...

That's the face I was talking about.

It gets me so excited!!

Glory be to the Creator Jubileus!

You put on quite a show.

Did you like the Knight?

Not bad.

It'll do as a sidekick for a while.

Time to open the bar.

I'll be waiting.

If I can be bothered.

I'll prepare Mysterious Destiny with an olive.

I thought it was a mouse. But it was you, Cheshire.

The name's Luka. It's about time you remembered.

What is it?

Guys who stalk the ladies never get the girl.

I wouldn't worry. I've got the looks.

Claire, Trish, Sylvia, and Ammy are all crazy about me.

I'm impressed you have so many friends.

But it's not nice to be a peeping Tom.

Such a bad boy.

Stop it! That's professional equipment.

Not to mention, you made a huge dent in my car!

Did I?

Did it conveniently slip your mind again?

I'll never forget what happened 20 years ago.

Fleur de Cirey.

I'll always remember the smell.

The same smell from the day my father died... the day I first saw you.

Father!

Father”.

As a journalist...

I'll expose you for who you are.

That's a turn on.

Remember this.

You can disappear, but I'll know you by your scent.

The famous perfume, Fleur de Cirey.

The sweet essence of rosemary.

It doesn't suit you.

You don't know that much about perfume do you, Cheshire?

My name's Luka!

Rosemary isn't used in Fleur de Cirey.

I wear it to ward off evil spirits.

A witch with a perfume to ward off evil? That's a laugh.

They heard the commotion.

See you, Cheshire.

Bayonetta, wait!

This isn't good.

The reawakening is close.

Good girl.

There are demons in places like this. You should go somewhere safer.

I am here in front of the lthavoll Tower, in Vigrid...

a sacred site of the Ragna.

This year, the 500-year wait for the return of

the Creator Jubileus is meant to come to an end.

Believers all around the world are joyously celebrating his coming.

Meanwhile, however, we continue to hear of believers

committing suicide "to aid the resurrection."

Only yesterday a head priest of the Ragna...

committed suicide with over 20 believers.

Unknown parties later partially destroyed the cathedral housing their bodies.

This has prompted many countries to pronounce states of emergency...

and believers of Ragna have been asked to remain calm.

The supreme leader of the lthavoll Group, who effectively governs this sacred city...

is preparing to appear in public for the first time.

The humans are panicking.

It's pathetic!

Sacrificing themselves for the resurrection of some god?

But it's thanks to these idiots that I'm in business.

You're overcharging for the funerals you're taking on.

You're not such a good guy, either.

I'm a good guy. As long as I'm making money!

Anyone with a conscience wouldn't want to handle these crazy believers.

When you look at it, I'm quite the philanthropist.

If that's the case, you should be donating to the Church.

And you owe me my reward.

Don't make me laugh. You enjoy killing angels.

You take pleasure in it, right? Isn't that enough?

Hey, wait. Slow down.

I'm sorry?

Shit!! You're the one that trashed the cathedral.

So I say goodbye to any profit. Consider my position!

I offer my condolences.

But the deal was information in exchange for a troublesome funeral.

Yeah, yeah.

You're damn bossy for someone who can't even remember her own name.

Her name is Bayonetta.

That's the name you gave her.

It's been 20 years since she awoke from her coffin at the bottom of that lake.

But she's still one big mystery... the only thing she remembers is that she's a witch.

Killing angels and offering them up to demons is great and all,

but she might as well do work more likely to make some money...

Men who blabber lead short lives.

And here he is. Mr. Balder, the leader of the lthavoll Group.

It's fair to say that the Group's vast fortune supports the economy of Vigrid.

If Mr. Balder, revered by his followers, tackles this well...

Oh, that's him!

I'll give you the lowdown on him as your reward.

He's the head of the Ragna.

Apparently, it's the first time he's shown his face in public.

This coincides with the first resurrection in 500 years.

Some say he has been alive since the last resurrection.

If that's the truth, he's not human.

The lthavoll Group has cutting-edge technology that ain't exactly in keeping

with the "good old religious hub" image.

The believers see technology as a holy miracle.

According to informants, Balder is a descendent of the long lost sages...

the votaries of light and enemy of the witches spoken of in folklore.

A modern day sage...

A tasty snippet of info, right?

I'm waiting, my dear child.

She seems happy with the reward.

I am going home.

My sons are going to throw me a birthday party.

Not paying for your drinks again?

That's your birthday present, right? Thank you.

I'll contact you when I get a job.

Freaky undertaker.

Ciao!

You were holding that when you awoke.

Yes.

It doesn't help you to remember?

Well...

At the moment, that man, Balder, interests me more.

He holds the key to my lost memory.

Is that what Enzo's info told you?

Call it woman's intuition.

So you're going to Vigrid?

Yes.

Take whatever you want.

I've waited 500 years for this time to come.

The girl will find her way here in the end.
