I've just gone over the teaser for Bayonetta 3, frame by frame, and found some surprising information. I'll go through what I've found, and explain it at the end-

The moon turns red, and the ribbon that usually holds up Bayo's hair in her B1 design drifts through the air before ripping in half

Bayonetta is seen getting the absolute crap beat out of her by balls of electricity. She then appears in her B1 design, and fires in slow motion, her face beaten, cut and bloody.

An electrical figure stops the bullets using some sort of field, before causing them to shatter into pieces and fall to the ground.

The figure appears much closer, and splits itself in half.

Bayonetta is seen standing, the figure before her, before it flies away, and Bayonetta's boots fall over, trailing barely-visible purple dots, and her guns fall to the ground. The Umbran Witch symbol is sliced up, resembling a scratchy, hastily carved '3'.

What I believe this means, is that Bayonetta dies in Bayonetta 3, killed by the electrical figure, or at least, goes through something similar to what Jeanne went through at the beginning of B2. However, I don't think it's the exact same, as Jeanne's body remains behind, and her soul is pulled into Inferno, whereas Bayonetta's body and soul both up and vanish. It's also quite interesting that Platinum decided to use her B1 design for this trailer, which may suggest that this is a prequel to B1 (which B2 already kinda did, but for only one character).

I'm really hoping that this takes place after 2, and that her B2 hair was just a style she uses during the Winter or something, as, since Bayo is alive and well in 1 & 2, it would ruin all tension of her staying dead if this were a possible prequel.

Any thoughts?
