This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

...But what does it mean? This game has text or audio that needs to be translated. If you are fluent with this language, please read our translation guidelines and then submit a translation!

...But does it make sense? The translations on this page need to be proofread. If you are fluent enough in this language, please make any corrections necessary!

To do: The Bayonetta plug-in for Noesis was updated to support Bayonetta Origins, look through the models and other files.

Unused Models

• it0302.dat contains a model of Super Mirror 0, a leftover from the Bayonetta 3 teaser demo.

• 

  it0302.dat

• emf000.dat is an early four-legged faerie design. It has a skull-shaped head, simple colors, and lot of animations.
• emf006.dat is another early faerie design. The file contains a few meshes, including one for a bomb resting inside its head, a torch that it holds in its hand, two shields, and a "cannon" (which clips through its face). Like the other unused faerie, it has many animations, some exclusively utilizing certain meshes.
• emf010.dat contains a grey, textureless model of an Affinity.
• emf011.dat is an early version of Jabberwock, which is modeled in a much more realistic style compared to the final. Its tongue is yellow and green instead of pink.

•

  emf006.dat

  The "bomb" version of emf006.dat lighting its fuse with a torch

• 

  The "cannon" version of emf006.dat holding two shields

• 
• 
• 

• plfff0.dat, plfff1.dat, plfff2.dat, and plfff3.dat contain models of animals themed around Cheshire's elemental powers. The iguana has Cheshire's hair, while the snake and armadillo share Cheshire's eye and fang colors. The dragon seems to have a unique design. They all also have quite a few animations.
• plfffa.dat is a model with vines wrapped around it, likely an early version of Wood Cheshire's tongue.

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

Three models found inside the model folder of effect_000.pkz also go unused.

• 010e.dat contains a model of a fruit that has two leaves... and a mouth.
• Within 010f.dat is a model of a flower-like object. It has three whitish "eyes" as well as four claws protruding from its lower half.
• 012d.dat contains a high heel made of stone.

• 
• 
• 

Unused Images

Within the texture folder in effect_000.pkz are two test graphics.

• 
• 

ui_test.dat in the ui folder contains early screenshots and textures left in the game.

• 
• 
• 

  An early menu screen. The "Status" and "Archive" tabs have swapped places. In addition, Cereza and Cheshire are posed slightly differently than the final art. Cheshire's design also has some differences in his leg shape, expression, and the color of his eye scar.

• 

  Early artwork. Cheshire's design in the bottom image is closer to his original appearance in Bayonetta.

• 

  Map graphics.

• 
• 

  Two early Skill Trees. The top image includes a variety of different skill icons that aren't seen in the final. The icons outlined in blue read セ ("Ce", for "Cereza") and チェ ("Che", for "Cheshire"). The bottom screenshot has a debug overlay.

• 
• 
• 

  Stained glass graphics, along with a skill tree info box that reads "Cheshire Ride - Can be used by hitting the L button repeatedly. Cheshire combo technique."

• 

  A screenshot of a hatching effect with a debug overlay. Below is an early save menu screen. Here, Chapter 6 is called "Morgana of Wizard Gables".

• 
• 

  Early map graphics. Save points are labeled "Safe Area".

• 

  Numerous map graphics.

• 

  Various textures that match the final's.

• 
• 

  Top-down views of three locations.

• 
• 

  Assets from Bayonetta 3.

The skilltree_thumb folder in miscTex_000.pkz has unused and early skill tree icons, many of which show Cereza wearing her post-game beehive hairstyle. Cheshire's elemental form designs do not seem to be complete, as only his "bandana" is recolored appropriately. There are also placeholder icons labeled "未定" ("to be decided") and "画像無し" ("no image").

The enemy_thumb folder, also in miscTex_000.pkz, contains an early render of Bánánach. The tan ornamentation around its hips is larger, and its spear is missing the blue color on its tip.

• 

Unused Text

messtest.mcd in ui_test.dat contains a large variety of unused text.

Lyrics to the game's theme song “Le Chéile i bhForaois Sholas na Gealaí” are also within this file. The second verse is missing, and the final two sentences are repeated twice, unlike the final.

I lár na hoíche, gealach lonrach,
Aduantas rúnda, dorcha, ársa
Caillte is tuirseach, aonarach uaigneach,
Scáth ag fásadh im' chroí.
Cad é an té sin idir na craobha
Ollphéist nó aosán, aosán ghránna?
Feicim cat fiáin, piscín draíochta
Fuacht ag fásadh im' chroí.

Cad é an té sin 'n achrann na coille,
Amhailt nó taibhse, síog diongna?
Níl aon creideamh ann im' shúile.
Muinín ag fásadh im' chroí.
I measc na coillte, scaipeadh drúchta,
Cara mo chéile, piscín fíochmhar.
Taobh le taobh, comhaontach le chéile,
Níl mé fágtha liom féin.

Sracadh leis an saol, ag sracadh le chéile
Mothúcháin rúnach ag teacht 's ag éalú
Braithim anfa 'g eirí níos measa
Mothaím an chumhacht 'táionaim ag méadú

I lár na hoíche, gealach lonrach, (descant- 'níl mé fágtha liom féin)
Cara mo chéile, piscín míonla (descant- mo chara allta)
Imní ag éalú, ag éalú
Níl mé fágtha liom féin.

Sian na gaoithe faoi loinnir na réalta,
níl mé fágtha, fágtha liom féin.

Fadaó mo ghaoltaach níl mé i m'aonar.
Mothúcháin rúnach ag teacht 's ag éalú.
Ach mar gheall ar ár scaradh óna chéile
Mothaím an t-uaigneas ‘tá ionam ag ardú

Fadaó mo ghaolta.
I measc na coillte beidh mé fágtha liom féin.

Caillte im' chroí. Titeann na deora.

Caillte im' chroí. [FONT:1 ]Titeann na deora.[FONT:N ]

The file also includes test text for many different languages.

SimpleEV_common_JPja.bin in Text_000.pkz contains an early version of the cutscene in which Cereza speaks to Cheshire after summoning him for the first time.

Original	Translated
「もしかしてあなた、チェシャの中にいるの！？ いますぐ私の友達から出て行きなさい！」	"Perhaps he's in Cheshire!? Get out of my friend right now!"
セレッサがそう言いますが、チェシャにとりついた悪魔はフン、と鼻を鳴らすだけです。	Cereza says this, but the demon possessing Cheshire only snorts and sniffs.
それから、偉そうな口調でセレッサに語りかけてきました。	Then he speaks to Cereza in a pompous tone.
悪魔が話す言葉は人が使う言葉とは違いましたが、セレッサにはちゃんと理解できます。	The language spoken by the demon was different from the language used by humans, but Cereza could understand it just fine.
悪魔は、チェシャを仮の“うつわ”として借りている、と言いました。	The demon says he is borrowing Cheshire as a temporary "vessel".
セレッサはモルガナの言葉を思い出します。	Cereza recalls Morgana's words.
悪魔は寄り代となる“うつわ”がないと、人間の世界では長く生きられないのだとモルガナは言っていました。	Morgana said that demons cannot live long in the human world without a "vessel" to serve as a substitute.
「魔界に送り帰せですって？悪いけど、そんな魔術は知らないわ。」	"You want me to send you back to Inferno? I'm sorry, but I don't know that kind of magic."
「そんなこと言われたって、知らないものは使えないもの。」	"That's easy for you to say, but I can't use what I don't know."
悪魔は変わらず、早く魔界に帰せ！　とわめき散らしていますが、ダダをこねられたってセレッサにはどうにもできません。	The demon persists, send me back to Inferno! He rants and raves, but there's nothing Cereza can do about it.
しびれを切らした悪魔は、力づくでセレッサに言うことを聞かせようとしました。	The demon grows impatient, trying to get Cereza to do what he says by force.

Unused Audio

Morgana has six unused Enochian chants in her voice files. One matches Phantasmaraneae's summoning chant in Bayonetta. Oddly, this chant uses the erroneous "LASTA SA PIADPH" transcription that was spread by fans before "CASASAM PIADPH" was discovered to be correct.
