Loptr explains that he and Loki were once the God of Chaos, Aesir, the creator of the Eyes of the World. Aesir had split his power amongst humanity to create the Eyes but had also split his soul into two halves of good and evil in the process. Loki, the good half, was given the power to control the Eyes directly, which Loptr steals. Despite their efforts, Loptr takes both of the Eyes from Balder and Bayonetta and transforms into Aesir with the intent to rule humanity. Loki claims that Aesir's power can erase anything from existence, and uses that power to destroy the Eyes, weakening Loptr and allowing Bayonetta and Balder to destroy his body with Jeanne's help. Loptr's soul attempts to escape to a time where the Eyes still exist to try his plan again. Balder stops him and absorbs his soul, despite Loki warning him that doing so will corrupt him. Balder reveals he knows that Bayonetta is his daughter and asks her to stop him should he be corrupted, and is returned to his time. With Loptr and the Eyes gone, Loki says he plans to take a break from the world's affairs, but that he may meet Bayonetta again, and fades away. The Prophet shows Bayonetta a vision that implies the Witch Hunts 500 years ago were not caused by Balder. Bayonetta Game Gets Anime Film by Gonzo in November". Anime News Network.
