Talk:References in Bayonetta/@comment-189.217.88.216-20150413034057

I don't know if it's a reference or not, I think it is considering Okami was directed by Hideki as well, but when Jeanne is thrown away at the start of the cutscene right after she's defeated for the last time at Isla del Sol, it reminded me SO much of the scene where...

(SPOILERS FOR OKAMI)

Waka gets thrown away by Yami's laser before the final boss fight.

It's even the same animation I think, slow motion and everything.

Jeanne's role could also be a parallel to Waka's, being the former friend of the protagonist until Ammy/Bayonetta are put to rest/sleep for several years, and then they proceed to be rivals until the last acts of their games, where they reveal their true nature.
