You can chock up him not saying they were also universes, because they were talking about different things when they were brought up. In the ice and fire dimension he says it was reminiscent of heaven and earth being created, so it’s not like they don’t have the intention to be universes either, despite him not saying it. He also saved saying it was a universe specifically for an unknown innuendo, not because it was the sole universe out of the three.
It’s not like he gives a drawn out explanation as to why it’s a universe in particular, he simply says “You get inside her and find it’s a universe. (Yeah, a universe) Then inside there..” (Insert innuendo)
The way his colleague passively agreed with him as well doesn’t make it appear like it’s anything special.
By the way, queen Sheba being able to destroy from the human universe doesn’t mean anything either. Unless you can disprove that the introduction of that new universe, was included in the established balance of the trinity, then it exists outside of it. Muspelheim and Purgatorio despite being universes as well aren’t said to be in the balance, so assuming the sphere is, is just a baseless assumption.
Because of how the current universe came to be. Kamiya says it’s the same origin of the universe she was creating, this
universe to be exact.
That means them disappearing doesn’t matter, because they exist inside of the sphere automatically. Think of it like this: If the original sphere had Paradiso, inferno, and the human world inside it, but were only present if she summoned them, when it broke apart why would it create three individual universes? The lore explains to use that these universes existed as one, the sphere, and were split into three. Meaning that these universes existed constantly, so that applies to the ones she created. If you say it doesn’t, then it makes no sense for the three universes to exist at all. If the original universes didn’t coexist inside of the sphere, how could destroying it create three separate ones entirely?
1. Because it’s connected to the trinity like purgatorio, via portals and doorways. Proven by lore.
2. No, because it’s a separate space time, doesn’t mean it’s not connected to the trinity though. Just that it isn’t apart of its unique three layered balance.
3&4. No, but that doesn’t matter. Purgatorio is called all of these things, only because it exists in the middle of all of them. But that’s only because it’s used as travel between them, not because it’s in the layered structure.
5. No, but let’s not pretend that beings in purgatorio can affect people in other realms. By lore it says that they cannot do that, multiple times. In Bayonetta 2 everyone around her is invisible, in Bayonetta 1 she says that since she’s in purgatorio, she can’t interfere with humans. So.. why does it matter?
It doesn’t have to be a copy, and it failing doesn’t matter either. It only failed because Bayonetta beat her up, not because she couldn’t do it. She’s
trying to create it while they’re fighting, heaven and earth is being conjured up, but as you see Bayonetta keeps stopping her.
Also I’m led to believe that the dimensions shes creating have their own separate space times, because of the wording used for the ice and fire dimension. A depiction of heaven and earth being created, two different universes, that aren’t bound by that strict balance the trinity abides by.
If you don’t believe that those are dimensions either, the lightning dimension and the sphere itself would count. Since the sphere is called a universe, and the lightning dimension is as well.
Btw, even if you don’t believe that, and insist that the sphere is inside of the trinity, it still isn’t apart of the structure.. meaning it would simply be connected to the trinity like Muspelheim is, therefore giving it the 2-C it needs by that logic.
Also what do you mean? The alternate timeline wasn’t created when the ToR was formed, that happened late into the game lol
