Why do people even say that Bayonetta 3 story sucked? Didn't like story was always bad in these games?
Okay, so here's one important thing I've already said before:
Bayonetta 3 story is SO bad that people who didn't even cared in the slightest about Bayos story or thought it was bad before said / say THIS ONE was really bad.
And here's the thing - it's actual truth.
Like sure, we can pretend that Bayos story was masterpiece here and it never done anything wrong but that's just a lie.
By videogame standarts the story is bad, especially in recent years when storytelling has evolved. By media story standarts and is general it's even worse and even more rough.
But thing is Bayos doesn't have to be more than just character AND fun. Because gameplay is what people are after (the general audience) and it's always been like that. Noone was expecting some God of War level narrative or even Nier that is riddled with good stuff. (you know, as more action game as an example)
Like look at Metal gear rising in retrospect and how it's wacky story got more love over the years, despite being hated at start. BECAUSE IT'S FUN.
AND BOTH BAYOS, with it's flaws but still, WERE FUN AND HAD CHARACTERS. AN HAD CHARACTER.
Like the stories are a mess, but regardless of that, the characters were fun and therefore you as a viwer had fun. It had action pieces, there was drama (i'd say to some degree it's genuine), there was humor.
And again I think one of parts that played into it - Bayonetta was a character I haven't seen in games before like that. Like her figurine and style was a priority, but she still SHOWN to have emotions - she cared for Cereza, she cared for Jeanne, she cared for Luka, she cared for Loki, she cared for Balder despite knowing his fate, same goes for Rosa, even if it was for a brief moment. Ahd these moments are memorable, some of the favorite parts for many people.
And Bayo3 just doesn't have that. Bayo in Bayo3 is so stiff - no care for other versions not really (on the surface levels at best), her relationship with Viola is kind of cranky too like she cares but it's alright like it's probably the strongest one (ugh), no care for Jeanne (except some hesitation with Egyptian one I guess) REMEMBER HOW WORRIED SHE WAS ABOUT HER IN BAYO2???? SURE MISS THAT ONE. Sure love how she shoot her mother and barely shows emotion, SURE THAT IS FUN WHEN CHARACTERS DON'T GIVE A FUCK, RIGHT? OH THAT IS BADASS AHA.
Even with Luka, it's like whatever, so supposedly the most important component of the story isn't there either. Like it was basic and not engaging in any moment.
Like, it's just a simple formula imo: Baoy3 story is weak, because Bayonettas characterisation in Bayo3 is weak.
I think the whole excuse of "well, that's Cereza not Bayo" is SOOOO lame. Like, she was a child, we've seen her as a child. IF ANYTHING, she would be MORE fun and MORE charasmatic and MORE joyful.
And, like, not a lot of action-slasher protagonist get development. Like, look at Dante - for his five games he's different in almost all of them and yet he saves the characteristics he has. Even if different people were writing him, they at least tried to be consistent and one important thing - even if they introduced Nero "to pass a torch" they didn't somehow a) killed Dante b) didn't killed his character, what he is and I think that just felt so refreshing when new character-kid gets introduced c) he still remained the most fun of the cast, because didn't took so seriously. and i hate when people compare them, but it's the best example of things done with action franchise rightfuly
But Bayo3 is just tries soooooooo hard to be this serious narrative which it never should been in the first place. Like what could be fun than meeting four (plus two at end) different Bayos??? AND THEY FUCKED IT UP BY TREATING THIS CONFLICT SO SERIOUSLY, YOU DON'T EVEN GET TO KNOW THEM AND THEY JUST WASTED FOR NO REASON. Like at this point just make a fun ride. Instead cutscenes drag longer than they should, they are not as entertaining as they should, support cast gets aside but this Bayonetta can't carry this solo, Viola isn't there for long either so it doesn't commit to that part either. THIS GAME HAS A PLOT TWIST VILLIAN??????? LMAO BITCH??????? AND HIS MOTIVATIONS ARE CLEAR ONLY IN CODEX???????????? NEVER DO THAT?? (THAT'S REALLY BAD STORYTELLING)
IN FACT A LOT STUFF IS IN THE CODEX????? LIKE U ARE NOT DARK SOULS, THAT'S NOT HOW LORE WORKS.
Not to mention, I think this time the ending is the worst one out of all. Last bosses suck (they do in prevous too, but at least they are grand and epic or something), but you also have to sit through TWO endings and you get lame ass dance sequences at the end (the credits one is sooo much better).
And it's just drags and drags, like it's not only shitty but story standarts, it's just shitty in a way it conveys things. I would say to some degree it's even worse. Like bad thing is already bad, but then it lasts longer - OOF.

Hey. I've been following your blog for a short while and I really like it! One of my favorites. I just wanted to know if you answer/discuss wayhaven theories? (or spoilery theories?)I got no friends that play wayhaven and I'm dying with the urge to share my thoughts lol. Sorry to disturb you.
Hello hello! Thank you for such a wonderful compliment! I’m so happy that you like my little blog!
I love discussing wayhaven theories! I totally get it, there’s so much unknown and so much to be explored and it’s really fun to discuss with others.
Please feel free to share your thoughts! I want to hear. I’ll do my best to answer them. Thank you for asking!

I think BK2 is the last one, but while BK1 had 16 chapters I think BK2 will probably have more chapters.
Yes, I agree. We're down to only needing one skill and one tablet, so probably not a whole lot of chapters, but it's possible that there'll be just a bit more story after the max than there was in b1 (I mean, there has to be, right? I can think of a bunch of things that still need addressing).
I'd be seriously surprised if it got a b3, since the response to b2 has appeared underwhelming (though I can't speak for what the silent majority thinks) and Blades appears to be expensive and time-consuming enough for them that they'd need just about every player to be on board, esp since player numbers go down by installment, sooo we'll see.

wtf is komamura's whole deal species wise? I never understood it
WOW this is an excellent question, because even though we technically have an answer, it’s never really made much sense to me either. First off, I want to acknowledge that it is stated in several sources that Komamura is an anthropomorphic wolf. His character profile says he is a wolf. In KaraBuri+ it also says he is a wolf (although many people mistake him for a dog). If you were looking for the straightforward answer, I suggest you stop reading here. I know that Komamura is a wolf, but am choosing to do this the hard way, using SCIENCE to find a more definitive answer. (I say this, as if I actually know how to wield science to do anything.) Strap yourselves in, because this is a long one.
Komamura identifies as a wolf, although I don’t think he looks much like what you would stereotypically imagine as a Wolf™. However, we know that phenotype/morphology isn’t always the most indicative of species identification since there’s so much variation, and we don’t have much to compare to. That, and he’s not a true wolf anyway, being some kind of wolfman/werewolf. But also, wolves/dogs/canids come in all sorts of shapes and colors.
We’ll start off by looking at the history of wolves in Japan. Sadly, the Japanese wolf went extinct in the early 20th century due to disease, deforestation, and policies that allowed wolves to be hunted. Honestly the wikipedia page on the Japanese wolf is actually really interesting, and I suggest you give it a perusal for some interesting tidbits on Japanese history and wolf trivia you can use to impress your friends. Science also has an interesting article on the Japanese wolf and history of dogs, which is a little easier to consume.
Of note, the Japanese mainland was inhabited by two types of canids: the wolf (ookami) and mountain dog (yamainu). The ookami was described as “a devouring animal, the body of a greyish-brown colour, the long tail ash-coloured with a white tip; the lower jaws also white-spotted. The mouth wide, the teeth quasi in double rows, perfectly shaped for holding the prey. The eyes appear triangular, sparkling at night. The toes are webbed, so it swims well pursuing and catching deer in the water.” Meanwhile, the yamainu is “very similar to the Ookame [sic], usually yellowish-brown and sometimes speckled; the toes are not webbed and its claws are hollow? Usually it is lean and stinks like waterfowl.”
Due to some poor record keeping and a mix up of specimens however, there is some confusion about which canid is which. If we're going purely off looks though, I feel like Komamura looks more like a wild dog? Plus, his grandfather has long shaggy fur and kind of looks like he could be the ancestor to the Japanese spitz? Look, time is Jeremy Bearimy and we don’t know at what point the timelines might have intersected for the gene pool of modern dog breeds, but I’m saying it’s a possibility.
Note: I feel like Kubo does not know what a dog looks like nor did he use references, because dog shoulders/arms do not work like that.
Recently scientists have been using CT scans and mitochondrial DNA testing of existing specimens (of which there are very few) to describe the Japanese wolf. Interestingly, they have some genes in common with modern Japanese dogs breeds, suggesting there was some interbreeding at some point. Unfortunately we cannot do a CT scan on Komamura, nor can we get a sample of his mitochondrial DNA. We also don’t have a good reference specimen with which to compare his appearance. So what can we examine to determine what he is?
The closest structure that we can examine is TEETH. Luckily for us, one Komamura gets rid of that bucket helmet, there are plenty of instances where he shows his teeth.
In order to provide you with some context, let’s first talk about canid teeth in general. The dental formula for most canines (including wolves and dogs) is incisors (I) 3/3, canines (C) 1/1, premolars (P) 4/4, molars (M) 2/3. The slash indicates upper jaw/lower jaw. This formula is for only one side of the jaw, and the same formula holds for the other side. This means canids generally have 42 teeth (21 teeth on each side of the mouth). Importantly, the maxillary (lower jaw) fourth premolar (P4) and the mandibular (upper jaw) first molar (M1) of canids are modified to oppose each other and maximize the shearing efficiency when biting into prey. The modified teeth are called carnassial teeth.
According to Endo et al. (1997) the Japanese wolf has a very large M1 compared to the Akita (dog). We have nothing to compare to in the Bleach universe, but let’s assume that M1 will be prominent.
Now that we know all this stuff, we can finally look at some pictures of Komamura!
I want to discuss the appalling lack of of consistency and regard for normal anatomy in the anime. At first I tried to get anime screencaps to use as reference, but then I saw THIS offensive picture and immediately got angry and stopped looking.
DO YOU SEE WHAT’S WRONG HERE?? Do you see that unicorn incisor in the middle of the mouth??? We already discussed dental formula and you’ll notice that teeth are mirrored in the mouth, with the same number of teeth on the left as on the right. They come in PAIRS. I can’t think of any animals that naturally have any teeth that are not paired. Even narwhals have paired teeth (the horn is a modified left canine). So this tooth sticking out in the middle is EGREGIOUS.
Moving onto the manga screenshots…
Honestly… I don’t know what’s going on here. We start off ok with that volume cover where it appears Kubo used a reference. I see (I) 3/3, (C) 1/1, and the first few premolars on the bottom. But then... looking at the side profiles... It doesn’t look like any kind of canid mouth I’ve seen. Definitely doesn’t seem to follow the dental formula and the number of teeth seem to change. All the teeth are so sharp…? Where are the premolars and molars? Especially the carnassials, which as we learned, are the hallmark of a canine mouth? If you ask me, these almost look like shark teeth…? Shark teeth fall out/are replaced constantly. Could this explain why Komamura seems to have different numbers of teeth at different times...?
The upper and lower jaws of the blue shark Prionace glauca.
Turns out, looking at Komamura’s dentition didn’t actually give us many answers… Apparently we’ll have to take his word for it that he’s a wolf. Although personally I think he might be closer to a wild dog and I think there’s some evidence for it too, at least going by his appearance. And maybe he’s part shark too??
--------
If you’d like a more philosophical and in depth take on the wolfmen of Bleach, I highly suggest you check out this post by @littleeyesofpallas, because it explains much more than I could ever hope to.
And as it turns out, someone already realized that Komamura has some really messed up teeth, and tried to fix it. Honestly, that fix soothes my soul.
--------
So, what did we learn about Komamura? … nothing really. But LOL we took a journey to get here and learned a bunch of other things along the way (maybe?).
Btw I did some legit research for this ask and if you’re curious about any of the papers I referenced/linked/read in preparation, please DM me and I’ll send them to you! I considered formatting this like a research paper and providing a separate references page but I decided to spare y’all.

sorry, if im bothering you with this (you don't need to anwer if you don't want to), another one of these discourses about bayonetta i've seen with queerbaiting with bayojeanne and that one spoilers thing. do you agree it's an actual thing that happened?
Okay, so BIG SPOILERS AHEAD (metion of them, but not explicit) and lots of text
________
So let me start by saying, usually, as a gay person myself - I've been in this situation. When you clearly have a dynamic between friends of the same gender but it's written much more deeply and with the care and with the actual tropes that get used for het couples and filled with love (and that word gets thrown around, but like, we talking about any kind of love). That happens.
But what also happens - is that writers / devs usually never confirm these. Fans and fandom do more job of putting lgbt rep into something that originally doesn't really have it or hidden in narrative (pushed, that also common with censoring) and then act like devs or writes or show runners own them something they invented. Again, it's a complex issue, because sometimes authors take time or have to push for relation ships (LoK / adventure time) and sometimes authors take credit for the ships fans popularised (that one supergirl show comes to mind???)
However, in Bayojeanne cause, I can kind of see where people coming from because: a) Bayo herself is an ambiguous character, people been saying for ages that she's bi coded (i can't speak on that honestly) b) Kamiya called Bayonetta and Jeanne couple - not a pair, not duo, and compared them with other couples (that also semi-canon / canon)
c) a lot of promo material art, just as concept art depicted them in way that would couples would. especially couples that have "different side of the coin" dynamic and that complement each other
some examples: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5
Fanservice? Sure. Still. A thing that did happened.
d) the scenes they had were also common for couples, shots on the reaching hands (the recent one i can think about with cloud and tifa in ff7remake), bayonetta holding jeanne "bride" style, bayonetta holding jeanne when saving her soul (do i need to mention how later they did that scene in familliar way with luka and bayo but just without the kiss, riiiight) and like, i could go on, but you get the idea
d) And what I also think Bayojeanne isn't just that kind of ship that was "oh fans hyped it up and they never interacted in canon" or something. It's in the story. Again, maybe it wasn't explicit and writers probably didn't intended to be that way (maybe Kamiya did but looking at bayo3 who knows), because once again it's a common thing when writes do this type of dynamic and "oh, the bond is so strong" and that kind of thing has a right to exists, if it wasn't for the othert stuff i said about.
Again, it's a complex idea and situation. And many things matter in the case. And I'm not a professional and not that type of person who cared about it in Bayonetta of all things.
Does that falls under "queerbaiting"? Hell, if I know, because I never expected them somehow to get canon or anything (and if you go through my baoyjeanne tag you know I love them dearly), cause not only being a game from japanese devs but also that I know better now because I got baited enough in various media before.
Can I blame people for thinking this was queerbaiting? No, I don't think I can. Especially because it's just bad for the script. What this implies of such strong and impowering fantasy character as Bayonetta is even worse.
And like, Bay///o/lu//ka doesn't in any way erase Bayonetta's bi-coding or her being into Jeanne (afterall it's not the same Bayo and we got multiverses now🙄) but I think people are upset because it was executed reeeeeally poorly and untasteful for such character. And people saying it's kind of character assasination are right in a lot of ways.
Hell idk why anyone skips the part that Luka also didn't got any development and got thrown in this mess as well.
And also THAT PART. What happened with it - who knows what was even going on in the writing room of Platinum.

I want to hear about your fanfic
ghfvggvgbgvgf OKAY SO. i've talked about it before but not in super much detail so this is in more detail.
so just to go over the clans first, we have blossomclan, they live in a cherry blossom forest n have leafgazers who watch the leaves so the clan can prepare for changing seasons; typhoonclan, who live on a beach and have common bad weather, and skywatchers who attempt to predict it; mountainclan, who live in the mountains and have pathfinders who help cats up the mountains; and bambooclan, who live in the bamboo forest n have fellgatherers who gather bamboo fell to eat n stuff.
so the clans have a reeeeeally bad storm happening. blossomclan can't tell when the seasons are changing cuz the leaves all fell in greenleaf from the rain, typhoonclan had to retreat to their second camp n has been there for like five moons, mountainclan is struggling to traverse the mountain cuz it's slippery, n bambooclan has cats going missing. so very bad shit going down.
we have four protagonists in this fanfic, one for each clan: laurelpaw, the anxious medic apprentice of blossomclan; plumpaw, the eager skywatcher apprentice of typhoonclan; cootblaze (cootpaw in the first chapter), the egotistical pathfinder of mountainclan; and hornetpaw, a daredevil apprentice of bambooclan.
laurelpaw has a medic assessment - roseberry, a warrior, fell out of the tree while teaching the warrior apprentices, magpiepaw (laurelpaw's crush) and chesspaw, how to climb trees, and her mentor, tansypetal, decided it'd be a perfect assessment opportunity. due to laurelpaw's anxiety, she forgets cobwebs n therefore fails the assessment but she's nine moons old so no one expected her to anyways-
plumpaw is newly apprenticed in the first chapter n learns basic skywatcher stuff - there's a palm tree called the storm palm that they use to gauge how close storms are to ending to see if they can return to their primary camp (they have two camps), n also watch the clouds to see when storms are coming. we learn a lil about typhoonclan's founder, doppler, also - he was owned by a pair of meteorologists before joining the clans, eventually teaching his own clan how to watch the clouds.
cootpaw has her pathfinder assessment. no idea why there's so much happening on the same day (that also just so happens to be the day of the half-moon medic meeting-). she has to guide a patrol up the mountain n to the valley all by herself. she successfully does so, earning herself her full name cootblaze before she gets a headache n goes to sleep cuz of that. that was meant to be foreshadowing i think but it didn't go so well-
hornetpaw n her partner, rookpaw, are learning how to fell bamboo. that's a thing every bambooclan apprentice learns, the fellgatherers are just especially good at it. after waking up rookpaw's adopted sister, lightpaw, and deciding they're gonna sneak away to try n find the missing cats, the trio set out with hornetpaw n rookpaw's mentors, lamburnumface n crowberry. they successfully fell a bamboo stalk n the fellgatherers n their mentors leave to hunt or smth, n so the apprentices take this opportunity to sneak away. they end up finding a slope that hornetpaw ends up sliding down. bu almost fuckin' dies (help buz) before she's saved n goes back to camp traumatized. help her.
as mentioned, it's a half-moon medic meeting, so laurelpaw goes to the moonfalls with tansypetal. we meet the other medics - ravenblaze of typhoonclan, yellowleaf of mountainclan n egretcloud of bambooclan - n laurelpaw gets some basic info about the other protagonists as the medics share news. now normally in laurelpaw's dreams at the moonfalls she sees her dead mom, poplarstream, but tonight she sees her dead brother, gorsekit, who gives her - n plumpaw, cootblaze n hornetpaw - a prophecy: "the overcast skies will loom endlessly above, unless four can unite peacefully." laurelpaw is extremely confused by this.
with plumpaw, we time-skip half a moon to the night of a gathering! plumpaw does not realize this, he's been really spacey since the half-moon due to not knowing if the prophecy dream was actually real or not. after some interaction with the other typhoonclan apprentices - slugpaw, sootpaw n starlingpaw - all the cats who wanna go to the gathering set off. once at the gathering, the clans share some pretty basic news - new names, clan conditions, etc. blossomclan's leader, petalstar, shares laurelpaw's prophecy, but doesn't mention at all that plumpaw n the others were there (spoiler alert: laurelpaw forgot to share that part-). plumpaw talks with the other prophecy cats (+ rookpaw n lightpaw. who are very confused), i think starlingpaw low-key ships him with laurelpaw, sootpaw is crushing on laurelpaw also, all around a v fun chapter.
rookpaw n lightpaw are confused about the prophecy n rookpaw in particular is worried she'll accidentally treat hornetpaw different cuz of it. i love their relationship btw they're adorable. they decide to go out that night to yet again try to find the missing cats. so when the sun's just beginning to rise, when everyone's asleep, they sneak out of camp back to the slope. hornetpaw asks why rookpaw n lightpaw are so desperate to figure out why cats are going missing - turns out bu completely forgot about rookpaw n lightpaw's sibling, fennelpaw. somehow. after lightpaw n fennelpaw's mom died, fennelpaw stayed strong through it all n was apprenticed early cuz of their strength, but she was then one of the first cats to disappear. anyways, they reach the slope from before n after a good start, they fall allllll the way down. hornetpaw gets really injured from this. the trio wander for a bit n find a mysterious cat - a familiar mysterious cat. it's fennelpaw! n then hornetpaw fuckin' blacks out. don't worry she's not dead, in the actual chapter i kinda made it out like she was dead but bu is not dead-
anyways we then transition to cootblaze. which is somehow the funniest tone shift ever. we go from "apprentice with adhd (canonically) blacks out" to "local mountainclan asshole has a big ego about the prophecy" in like one second. she eats with the other pathfinders for a bit, her former mentor whimbrelstep says that the mountain's really slippery that day. she hopes she won't have to go on patrol today n then hollystorm, the deputy, comes n says she's going on patrol. cootblaze talks to her mom, lilyclaw, for a bit before the last patrol comes. her patrol sets out - after swanpaw talks to her hovering mother, frostcloud - n after a bit, there's rainfall streams coming down the mountain, whoops. cootblaze tries to start down the mountain but then she trips n the patrol brings her back to camp. she wakes up in the medic's den n after a bit, tells yellowleaf about the prophecy (in actuality she's like "can non-medics get prophecies" n yellowleaf's like "you got a prophecy didn't you." #girlboss). i was worried her chapter was gonna be boring but it wasn't.
i haven't finished laurelpaw's next chapter yet but she has some silly interaction with chesspaw n magpiepaw, tells tansypetal that plumpaw, cootblaze n hornetpaw also got the prophecy, watches tansypetal n petalstar be gay, n decides to go to the moonfalls. plumpaw's there for his mandatory visit (yes they have that tradition because why did they get rid of it at the lake territories-) n so they talk for a bit. laurelpaw gets visited by cat eldritch horror god, whose the embodiment of a bunch of prophets (the cats who make prophecies + basically possess starclan cats who give prophecies). they are not helpful. they're also called whisperingdream.
ummmm. yea. i have lots of ideas for future chapters. :3 n their warrior names. laurelpaw's gonna be laurelbloom cuz she had Character Development, plumpaw. i'm still not sure on. hornetpaw's gonna be hornetsting cuz personality + prefix, rookpaw's rookflower cuz she's calm n nice, lightpaw's lightwisp cuz she has depression (/hj i kinda just think it sounds cool) n fennelpaw's. i'm not sure on her either lfskdjfkljdf- yea. :3

You will never live up to your ancestors.
There’s a moment, so quick and brief that it can be easily missed. Less one knew the echidna well enough to pick up on the subtle body language given by him. A difficult task given the painstaking levels he often went to hide them at times, any signs given were miniscule and hard to notice at times.
Only allowing the feelings — shoulders tensing and breath hitching — to stay for a nanosecond. Letting them pass as quickly as they came. Steeling and composing himself, not letting those feelings overtake him. Expression hardening into a neutral one — almost to the point of being unreadable.
Wasn’t about to break. Wasn’t about to bend and cave in. Wasn’t about to show any weakness. Not so easily. Stand strong, stand firm, and stand tall. No way was he going to be fractured by those words. Not now and not ever.
“I don’t INTEND to just live up to my Ancestors — “
“ — I INTEND to do better. BE BETTER. I might be proud of my heritage...proud of my kin ‘n what they achieved to a point...but even I can admit they ‘ad their faults ‘n their flaws.”
A sigh escapes past Knuckles lips. There was plenty to be proud of — never ashamed of the blood that flowed through his veins, even with some of the darker aspects of the past. He wasn’t about to pretend to not see or be blind to it. Some of what his ancestors did — it did not sit well with him.
“I intend to keep their memory — for better ‘r worse — alive. I won’t let my culture die just ‘cause of the bad, there was good things too. Those deserve t’be preserved ‘n kept, not fade into obscurity.”
“ — I’ll make ‘em proud by protectin’ this world ‘n all who call it ‘ome; by guardin’ ‘n protectin’ the Master Emerald. So that everyone can live peaceful, free, ‘n happy lives. That’s ‘OW I intend to live up to them.”
