I wonder if Bayonetta 3 will follow an elemental 'theme'. For example, Bayonetta 1 had subtle Fire affiliations, whilst 2 had more obvious water connections.

Bayonetta: The most frequently fought angel is Fortitudo, who has command over fire. The angels and Lumen Sages are the main antagonists, both who share themes with the sun. Sun, as in the gigantic ball of fire Bayonetta and Sheba punch Jubileus in to. Lava is also a major enviromental focus in Chapter 3. Bayonetta's secondary colour is red, a theme shared with her guns. Its also worth noting that Vigrid, City of Deja Vu in Bayonetta 2 has a lot of flames and even returns to the catacombs. Bayonetta had gold as a tertiary colour.

Bayonetta 2: The most frequently fought angel is Glamor, who posses powers over water in its solid, liquid and gaseous states. Loptr is the main foe, who whilst isn't affiliated with water exactly, has subtle themes of it, such as his cloak. Time and water are both fluid, with Noatun posessing many remembrances and an abundance of water bodies. 'Moon River' is one of the game's themes, and the game focuses more on the Umbra and Demons, both who have affiliations with the Moon, which controls the tides of earth. The game has a heavy blue theme, such as Bayonetta's new guns, Love is Blue. And also the devs explicitly said the game had a Water theme. Yeah. Bayonetta now has silver as a tertiary colour.

Each game seems to have a connection with a classical element, a colour, and a precious metal (or alloy) which is one of the game's rankings. So I'd hazard a guess that 3, and 4 if it ever comes to be, will continue the trend. Some possible ideas:

An earth theme. Bayonetta's guns would be green, as the flora of the earth is. The game could perhaps focus more on the human world and the strange creatures who dwell in it, such as Aesir and the Chain Chomp. The metal would be Bronze, which is actually an alloy, as it usually associated with 'third place', just as 3 would obviously be the 3rd game,  and also is the lowest ranking (sans Stone, which is not metallic) ranking in the game, influenced by the whole idea of being 'down to earth'.

Or perhaps an air theme? Yellowy-Golden pistols would look quite regal and high class, symbolic of the portryal of thunder and lightning. The game could focus on extremes, and the Gods of the Trinity, as well as the minor gods. The metal would be Platinum, with both it and Pure Platinum being the highest ranks one can get in the game.

Just some ideas for potential themes.
