Luka Redgrave - Tumblr Posts
Man, I could write an essay on why Bayonetta doesn't hate Luka, and cares about him, and enjoys his company, but some people are so dead set on mischaracterizing him for the sake of shitting on his existence that I don't think it's even worth it
Honestly the most shocking thing about the Bayo 3 ending is that Nintendo let someone leak the ending. (Like yes I'm disappointed about the Luka thing but I'm not suprised)
Imma be 100% real, its kinda strange to me that the whole series is about defying fate and making your own path. BUT Luka and bayo are always destined to be together and end up together (assuming this from what they say at the end) and I hope I'm not the only one that was a lil weirded out by the whole Adam and eve thing. Anyway it was a pretty good game, 8/10 (that credits song is not it tho)
Edit: before anyone says anything, im not upset bayoluka happened, just suprised. I expected her to stay single to please everyone.
Everyone always mentions the character assassination of Bayo, but no one mention that both Luka and Jeanne were treated like garbage too.
They fundamentally changed Luka to make him the Mostest Special Boi In the Universe ™. In all the previous games he was never special, and thats what made him special. Also he was never a guide, the guiding people for all the games were Balder for 1, Rodin/Jeanne for 2, and Viola for 3. Luka was always there by coincidence or just following Bayo around (in the case of the first game). He was a babysitter at least and an exposition machine at most, and thats not a bad thing. He was invaluble to the plot for that reason, in the first game he helped care for cereza when bayo ran off to do her thing and he would explain things that Bayo couldnt remember and need the information to move forward. That right there is the worst bit they took from him in giving him his magic powers and having him have a combined conciousness. Luka is SMART, sure hes goofy and silly but this man is smart. He speaks and reads at least 2 dead languages, found out about a long dead and buried society whose history was burned to the ground purposefully, found artifacts to help him study these cultures. These powers will take away from that fundamental part of his character (he even says it does in the final stridor fight where he berates himself). Hes a goofy, perverted genius with a heart of gold and they ruined that making him Special ™
With Jeanne, they did my girl dirty in the latest game. They made The Heir to the Umbran Throne (technically the elder but this isnt time for that) get killed by some dude in a pod. You are telling me that the strongest Umbra to live cant sense that the guy who is literally saying “im gonna kill you” is gonna stab her in the back, WHILE shes in the middle of battle where shes surrounded?? Im not 100% but I can almost guarantee that Bayo once dodged Balder’s sword when he attacked from behind in 2 and she was trained by Jeanne. She also couldnt tell that sigurd was evil?? Really? He was screaming evil, and she should have experience with creepy evil men in a secret facility. They just really dumbed her down so much, she didnt even get to use her powers until ch12. Also it goes against the Jeanne dying trope of it always being a heroic sacrifice for Cereza.
I had more thoughts but i cant remember them anymore so this is the end of this nonsense
I've realized that Viola is literally just Luka from bayo1. They have the same personality and quirks, the whole "my name is ---!", the dorky easygoing personality, cereza calling both of them kitty, both of them following cereza around as she basically ignores them, the zip line, the search for the truth, the journaling, etc.
I honestly don't think that bayo and luka (or anyone really) are dead at the ending. The epilogue with viola is what like a week, maybe a couple months max, after the ending. Her mannerisms don't strike me as "I watched both my parents be sucked down into inferno to suffer for eternity" she's way too happy and positive. Plus it's kinda like the worlds reset to before the singularity events cuz there is no way life would be back to normal after that nonsense.
The addition of lukaon has added so many plot holes to an already hole riddled lore.
Like ok so in origins, lukaon is the arch Adam origin yeah? So how is he in 3?? He died at the end. And he and regular luka are the same person but also not??? Cuz there's an origin luka and lukaon (god I hate his name).
Also why is luka/lukaon the only character affected by the shattering multiverse? Why don't we see another character plagued with visions of alters (would have been neat imo) was it to somehow revive origins lukaon into luka?
Also side note, I know the whole Adam and eve thing is for kamiya's fetish fantasy but like, it would have made more sense if balder and Rosa were the Adam and eve and the story was based around Cereza trying to save her parents (also would have been more in character)
The man wrote himself into a gay corner with 2 so he had to make a whole multiverse to retcon it
