Let's Hit The Climax!

Let's Hit The Climax! is the 11th track of Disc 2 of the Bayonetta Original Soundtrack. It is featured several times throughout the first original game, most notably while Bayonetta summons an Infernal Demon at the end of a battle with an Auditio.

Bayonetta
Let's Hit The Climax! is featured in the first game during every chapter with a Cardinal Virtue as the chapter boss. It is first primary heard in Chapter IV: The Cardinal Virtue of Fortitude while summoning the Infernal Demon Malphas against Fortitudo, but also later appears in subsequent chapters while summoning Hekatoncheir against Temperantia; Scolopendra against Iustitia; Phantasmaranae against Sapientia - and ultimately in the final chapter while summoning Queen Sheba against Jubileus. It should be noted that Bayonetta's Infernal Demon summons for smaller enemies usually differ to the theme Demonic Beast Summon, which is the 22nd soundtrack on the 1st disc.
