It was believed that after a witch made a pact with a demon, shed gain a witch Mark, which would result in either blemishes in the skin, extra nipples, elderly spots at a young age, or even a mole.

Take note that as a child Bayonetta didnt have a mole, but as an adult she does. So this feeds into the beliefe that witches get a witch Mark.

Ontop of this, it was said by hideki Kamiya that in the Bayo universe witches gain beauty marks after going through a traumatic experience that would end up drastically enhancing their magic. on the Bayonetta Discord someone pointed this out, so now its theorized that this version of Bayo is a past iteration of her self, before she got her Mark.

It's possible more time travel shenanigans is going on, and a new villain might be going to the past to defeat Bayonetta before she got her witch mark, which would completely undo everything shes done up to this point.

Another thing people are theorizing is that this is a memory. That shes facing an opponent so strong in modern day, it reminds her of the time she went through the struggles that got her to attain her witch Mark Also, to add onto what Ixbran said, one of the videos regarding Bayonetta and its introduction to PC on Steam included an interview with Kamiya in which he was asked various Bayonetta and Bayonetta production related questions. In said video, he says that her beauty mark appeared after a significant event in her life occurred, so there's that.

Also, it is worth noting that the ballad Whittingham Fair is a variation of the balled known as the Elfin Knight. I'm not sure what to believe, and I'm one who will believe a really strong and well-written theory until canonity proves otherwise, and with the lack of a beauty mark and the "new" Whittingham Fair guns, I'll accept the alternate timeline/universe theory until a potential new/better theory pops up, or until the story is actually unveiled.

Finally, what song do you think will be the new Fly Me to the Moon and Moon River? What do you think the name of the new Climax theme will be (Let's Hit the Climax!, Time for the Climax!)? Do you think new mechanics will be introduced like how Umbran Climax was in Bayonetta 2?
