But if Bayo 2 doesn't happen, Balder never sealed Loptr-Aesir within himself, meaning he'd never need to go to another dimension, and causing the events of Bayonetta 1 to occur differently. Jeanne would never be brainwashed, more Umbra likely survived, Jeanne could pull Bayonetta out of her sleep when it all cools down, and Jubileus is never revived. Bayonetta 2 is the foundation for the events of Bayonetta 1 and vice-versa, meaning if one didn't happen, neither did.
