Talk:Jubileus the Creator/@comment-24540535-20141227185426/@comment-1661895-20141227232540

I can guarantee that Jubileus is never referred to as male in the first Bayonetta. In fact, she is not even referenced by gendered terms by any of the characters.

The angels and Balder only ever refer to Jubileus by her official name and title of Jubileus, The Creator. The only time this ever changes is when Balder is referring to her awakening by which he says:

"My, oh my... No one can control Jubileus now. Its power is too intense..."

Jeanne uses a similar description when talking about how "it's still going to destroy the world" once the battle with her is over.

Whilst this hints at Jubileus being ungendered at best, the reason she is referred to in female terms is rather obvious. When Bayonetta examines the statue that will eventually house Jubileus' form, she specifically says it is a statue of a goddess. Let's also not forget about what the developers themselves have said, having gone on record that Jubileus was designed to resemble Bayonetta to represent the ultimate firgure of power in their respective realms.

All of the design commentary around Jubileus in the Eyes Of Bayonetta also refer to her as female, making reference to how "she is technically an angelic being, so it seemed natural to give her wings" and their original rendering in CG was tricky to pull off because 'the only concept we had for Jubileus was her in the fetal position". No doubts about it, Jubileus was intended to be portrayed as a female.

I believe where the contributor is getting this idea of Jubileus being male or "transgender" from is the original Japanese version of Bloody Fate. In a few particular scenes, such as the news report in the Gates of Hell ("Believers all around the world are joyously celebrating his coming,") and angels such as Fortitudo speaking about Jubileus ("Left Eye, I'll be waiting by the side of my Lord."), they're using phrasing that reflects a god having masculine traits in typical religious mythos of there being a "Lord" over all. But because of the events of Bayonetta 2 and the fact that Bloody Fate also makes numerous changes to the overall plot of the first game (the references to Jubileus being male are also cut from the English dub), it can be considered non-canon to the overall series and thus not reliable.

Jubileus is a goddess. She posesses a female form on purpose to reflect her status as the most powerful being from Paradiso just as how Bayonetta and Sheba are designed to be the most powerful of the human world and Inferno (not to mention that Sheba looks identical to Jubileus in almost all aspects and is specifically a 'Queen'). Lastly, her original creators at Platinum refer to her in a female sense in both the design stages and within the context of the game's universe. She's a she and that's that.
