The Angels of Paradiso - More About Bayonetta 

Bayonetta lore is so interesting and extensive but it can get overlooked because of gameplay taking focus. The Paradiso/Angel aesthetic is TOP tier! Thank you for making these videos!

Fun fact about the Auditio! They all are named after virtues but somehow go against them. Fortitude tries to stop Bayonetta from fighting. Temperantia is angered at the damage done to him. Iustitia only desires justice for the angles. Sapientia is rude and not the nicest angel to both Bayonetta and Jeanne.

I love the characterization of the Auditios are the opposite of what they represent, Fortitudo discourage Bayonetta to stop fighting and runs away the first time she face him. Temperantia being of templance looses control mid battle and starts screaming, Sapientia the prudence get cocky with Bayonetta and see her as inferior

I absolutely LOOOVE the angels in Bayonetta. They're definitely some of the most creative depictions or angels I've seen in games this far.

One thing I noticed about Golem is how Aesir's Golem is better than the one made by Lumen and the Umbra, Aesir's can melt it's whole body to create brand new shapes like a t-1000 terminator while the Bayonetta 1 golem has to settle with rearranging it's cubes to make shapes which limits the forms it can take. Also Aesir's golem can straight up teleport on it's own, without the aid of portals and is much faster in battle with a bigger moveset.

Bayonetta as a whole from lore to gameplay is such a good game . Kamiya himself said he really wants to do worldbuilding in bayonetta and I can see that here

I really hope they make a game about the lumen sages

i hope the angels return as the main enemies in the next bayonetta games. having biblically accurate angels as enemies is so iconic

It's impressive that Bayonetta managed to make angels, holy beings of light extremely frightening since they come in different shapes and sizes, speak a language most people can't understand and are so dangerous even a child is not safe in their presence while hiding their nightmarish biology under a layer of gold and marble.

I really want to see the angels and lumens get more shine, we were robbed of lumen sage bayo in. Bayo 3 where we could have seen how powerful they are when not seen as just enemies for bayo to beat. I hope we get one that’s actually on our side Nita baldur situation.

I completely ADORE you for this video I was thirsty of the complete lore of bayonetta's angels stuffed in a one video! I literally watched it for 1 hour straight without a break

great work with these. These angels are absolutely my favorite depiction in most of anything. as a religious person myself i think platinum games nailed it!

1:51 I SCREAMED at this, what a great analysis!

I love how the battle-damaged angels look like beings straight out of a DMT trip.

the hands that grab bayonetta when you don't continue in the gameover screen are the same hand of the affinities.

Very nice video, I really love the angels of Paradiso and would love to see more of them or at least more "positive" interactions with them, say, with something like a Lumen Sage spin off.

It's possible that omni is just a combination of jubileus and sheba, or atleast jubileus' soul. That's the only explanation I could think off

we need a bayonetta devil may cry crossover

I love the lore of Bayonetta and I love your videos! They're very informative and well done!

Great and super observational video. Are you going to do one on the Homunculi enemies from the third game? Admittedly I wasn't a big fan of them at first compared to the angels and demons but through some reading of the in game logs and wiki they seem just as interesting. It's neat that they're all named after different types of clouds

genuinely thank you so much for this video. i’ve been always highly interested in the angels that appear in bayonetta, watching this was super interesting

The b-i-CT-h meme is exactly what came to mind, you get a like for that

Incredible video! Learning about all.this was really fun 😄

I have waited for so long for this video, its really well done!

Thats pronounciation of Laguna you mentioned does hold water as the Bayonetta movie calls the religion headed by Balder as the Ragna Church

i love these videos

I think the Enchants also are based off the Sicily Emblem as well.

Great video! Excellently put together. To me, the relationship between Paradiso and Inferno in Bayonetta lore is more similar to Order vs Chaos than good vs evil.

Ate ate ate again

YES! YES! I KNOW I'M LATE BUT YES!

i love this video

Best description goes to Enrapture imo, that's some flavorful lore and design

Thank you i love this stuff

Momma dee was the highlight for me 🤣🤣🤣

Cool story, bro

For me, this is actually the most interesting thing about the Bayonetta series. It's really unique, to me at least, to see angelic creatures this creatively designed, this inspired, and just this... cool. Mainly speaking in regards to Hack-and-Slash/Character Action type games. Heck, angels in general don't get a lot of focus on that front in hack-and-slashers, compared to demons. Big comment incoming, so my apologies if it gets boring, but here's what I have noticed regarding angels and heavenly stuff in these types of games when Christian bases and inspirations are involved: -The Darksiders series is the next one in this franchise, that has angels deeply fleshed-out and well-established, with the Truce of Heaven and Hell until the End Times would arrive. There's a good amount of angel characters and even some angelic locations-- though deeper insight in their society seems to mainly be reserved for the Abomination Vault novel. Hell and the demons get more screentime and showcasing of their realms, I'd say. Helps that in the series, they actually have won the pre-emptive End War. -Aside from that, there's Dante's Inferno, and even then you only get to see Gabriel (i think) for a short cutscene, and actually *play* as one: St. Lucia in the Trials of St. Lucia DLC, who seems pretty cool. But the game is still, for nigh its entirety, set in Hell (and pretty awesomely at that), where both demons *and* sinners are opponents. The bestiary does clarify that Lucifier and the specific, classic goat-horned-and-hoofed enemies are former angels that now act as jailers and torturers of the sinners. -The Lords of Shadows' games main character is named Gabriel, and the Lord and the Heavens are often spoken about-- but that's the closest we get. Once again, demons are present here-- but focus lie more so on earthly horrors. Starting with goblins and lycans, to ghouls and walking skeletons, imps and living armors, giant spiders and living scarecrows, mandrakes, and of course vampires. Which is also a very cool route to be walking for enemy designs. -And DmC doesn't even seem to *have* Heaven or actual angels as a thing. I read a few times that angels in the DmC franchise are actually another variant of Demonic creatures. (Bonus one: Least known of all of these, there's Knight's Contract, and focus there is on witches and folklore. But I believe neither demons nor angels really appear as such) I don't gravitate towards the super-blow-the-roof-off-this-multi-roofed-cathedral-then-repair-the-roofs-and-build-a-few-new-ones-then-do-it-all-over-again level of over-the-topness, general camp and turbo-overpoweredness of the main character and series as a whole in Bayonetta Personally, my leanings more towards the aforementioned Darksiders series, Soulstice, and Heavenly Sword (amongst a few others, like Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death, Lords of Shadow 1 and 2, and Dante's Inferno). Be it main characters, tone, world or other factors-- or a mix of them. And yet, like I said before, a number of the Angel designs have kept on holding my attention, and the lore and reasonings behind their names that comes with them. So, while I may be a stranger on the internet, I do appreciate the effort and time that you have put into making this video! It's really cool, and I thank you for having made it. Wish you and anyone else who reads this a good rest of their week, and take care as well as a cookie when nobody's looking.

Bro did you secretly make this because you too, is heavily f**king disappointed with the lack of Angels in Bayo3? Because if so, thank you. I get to see my precious angels again

Joy's entry is truely beautiful

26:03 a bit of a fun fact about grace and glory, they have the exact same body type as Verdugo from resident evil 4 (2005), minus the scorpion-like tail

Could Fairness also reference the sun god Ra in some way, based on it's head ornament and its head looks just like that of Ra, but gold? Idk, it just passed my mind when watching this video.

Oh, so it wasn't only me that thought of Jet Set Radio when they heard about Grace and Glory

Yes, but I'm still with the question of which type of angel was Rodin.

Idk if someone said this but maybe the word "Bieth" is in reference to being a variant of the name Beatrix that means "she who is holly" or "she who brings happiness" :0

There're enemies similar to Enchant in Okami too.

1:51 LMAO

I wanna play as a lumen sage so bad

"oh another angel? must of missed one."

Are you gonna do a video of the monsters in Bayonetta 3? The one's made of human (the green ones)

And in bayonetta 3 no angel 😢

Temperantia 50% more like pokemon type steel/psychic (bronzong)🗿

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU

I hope they return so much more fun to fight then the homunculi I like fighting people however I want not having to do this first or solely rely on this. Or get in for two seconds then be pushed out or just pushed out until a certain amount of damage is done. Fun ones to me where any human one the giant fat guys the flower turrets and I might be missing some. Even the bosses aren’t as good only fun ones to me where the witches. Just because it was fluent combat..The homunculi bosses besides a couple like the bull guy where all singularity meaning they have no unique personalities it’s just singularity being a broken record. In some giant blob of whatever. They witches didn’t cling to a wall or to far in front of you where it’s hard to hit them or the floor is lava where ur constantly hopping platforms along with that, that happens 3-4 bosses. Combine that with enemy push back it happens a lot. Some angels/demons are annoying to fight as where some bosses before but they should learn from them 1 was really rough in some parts in 2 u could get them in witch time like the shield guys wicked weaves will break them and strong enough attacks to them and witch time will catch baldur and stuff. All games had flaws but I had fun in all of them they improved some stuff. I’m glad the angels and demons were fightable but not all of them. I hope they are more than side verses next game.

Inspired is probably the least wierd looking angel

Kinda hate the fact that Jubileus is basically mandy from totally spies

Hierarchy of laguna. other names: book of angels📚. race: angel👼. type: heaven's light☀️. rank: holy✝️. class: librarian📚. about: angels of paradiso. location: paradiso. keeper: lumen sages. rarity: common. role: treasure. status: active. color: white⚪️.

I hate grace and glory with a passion

Interesting, so are all the angels concepts of certain things?

Beloved(cough)punching bag

19:37 Rocket launcher?! When did they have that?

.....a thought what if an Angel betrays Paradiso and now we as Viola and an unnamed Lumen Sage have to defeat it......ugh I have a mind of a mastermind, cause I'm just so creative like that

Fu fact about the second sphere powers:Worship. They didn't choose this name arbitrarely, As it's name is a pun. saying it outloud sound sounds like the phrase (war-ship) which is exactly what worship is. A war ship

Is that where vivziepop came up with the exorcists angels from hazbim hotel because they kill?

Personally, I cannot view the Angels of Bayonetta as being "evil". Whatever their methods-and arguments can be made to justify their actions throughout the first game-their ultimate goal is to restore reality to it's original state. Now before anyone here goes "Oh they were going to kill all of humanity!" First of all, you don't *know* that because that is never said to be the case in any of the games in which they appear, and second, let's not pretend that we humans haven't been slaughtering each other in droves for the past ten thousand years, among other horrific acts. If these Angels really wanted to eradicate humanity, they'd be well within their rights to do so.

Hears a fun fact, do you know that some of the angels are based off from the angels from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I’m actually on paradiso’s side. They want to create a world where light rules over all. And based on the naming scheme, light = good, darkness = bad. So a world ruled by good is what we need

I want to see the species angels . They break the rules so much I pretty sure they feed everyone to worship indiscriminately and not just sages and of course lie to humans about paradise being ...,well a paradise so that they can never none Laguna or pias humans that that have reincarnation aren't common ,Said for a few that probably took a territory of of heaven of stay on the run and can't experience the peace they're supposed to . Had they gone where they aught to have gone it would have been cool to see some actually nice angel with not creepy baby faces and maybe no feathers either . Maybe even one that Bayonetta almost kills for being like madam butter fly but he's a cockroach 🤣
