It's one of the Technique's you can purchase at the store in-game and I believe she will even make his Japanese comment on occasion when using it. I was thinking of compiling a huge "Easter Egg" Bayonetta list if anyone's interested. =) The shoulder is cool homage to Virtua Fighter's Akira, so this is just plain fun!

I remember playing it when I was young and it took me quite a while to figure out that only the targets in the reticule would get destroyed, which made the first boss really hard to figure out as I simply targeted the lower corner while I stayed in the other.

I considered getting the premium theme at first. But after sampling it on youtube I decided I don't like it, the old school game references are cute but I wish they would've used better Bayonetta illustrations.. I'm not too crazy about the coffin on the main page, kind of bleak and doesn't really spice things up or make things more "colorful".

Kind of extremely weird why they would reference such an obscure IP of theirs. The second one is derived from Sega's 1987 coin-op SDI.
