There’s a scene in Bayonetta which is more naughty than the rest, with an angel named Joy striking a dirty pose in a contest with our titular heroine. According to Platinum Games director Hideki Kamiya, it was his favorite scene in the game and he gave some interesting reasoning.
“When people ask me where the inspiration for the scenes in Bayonetta came from, all I can say is ‘from my head’,” he explained. “When people ask me what my favorite scene is, all I can say is ‘all of them’ . . . Well, if I had to pick one, I would say it is the scene where Joy first appears in the game, with Bayonetta and her impostor getting into a pose battle.
“That was my way of expressing the feminine notion that, to one woman, all other women are enemies. Even women walking by each other will check out what the other is wearing, and might smolder a bit with antagonism. Women are scary.”
