Tier
So I just finished playing Bayonetta 1, and I went through the lore and text to see about the justifications for the 5-B tier. Well long story short, it's iffy at best.
So, the main reason for all the Bayonetta characters to have the 5-B tier is because of one of the first sphere angels, who's stated in the description to be able to destroy the world with a small fraction of their power. Now you may be thinking "what's wrong with the description?" Well nothing really, except for the fact that this contradicts other feats from stronger beings.
The feats that I've found is Fortitudo, who with his power is able to scorch a town with his magma.
Another is Temperantia, who with his full power is able to destroy an entire country.
When the true power of the virtue of Temperance is laid upon our world, it is said to come as a tornado, capable of swallowing an entire country. Humans are helpless to guess at the impetus behind Divine Will, whether it be anger or happiness, and are left only with prayers and promises of personal temperance if only the heavens should make the storm subside."
Yet another would have to be Sapientia, whos power can create tsunamis and whirlpools.
It is also thought that Sapientia is responsible for the rise and fall of the tides, and natural phenomena such as tsunamis. The grand idea that the living seas could be nothing other than the Divine Will at work is actually evidence of Sapientia's narcissism, even amongst the other Cardinal Virtues.
There's another one with one of Bayonetta's summons, who's stated in the infernal demons section that they have enough power to pulverize mountains.
A giant endowed with six fearsome arms capable of pulverizing mountains, those unfortunate enough to fall underfoot of the demon are subject to days-long violent earthquakes.
The thing that all of these feats have in common is that none of them are consistent with the planet level statement from the Gracious and Glorious angels. This is the same case as the Irenic feat, where it's contradicted by the feat that was shown by someone more powerful than it.
For the normal angels, there's another feat that's sort of overlooked. Though it's unclear if this can be calced or not, and this feat would have to be the numerous lightning strikes being caused by Fearless.
Almost all of the naturally occurring lightning in the world is a result of the actions of these angels. It is said that divine wrath against gluttons is released in the lightning's flash, as the thunder signals heaven's roar.
Bayonetta
So a couple of things, such as her fear resistance, soul resistance, and poison manipulation should be moved to her Bayonetta 2 key instead of her Bayonetta 1 key since she hasn't shown these abilities until the sequal. The curse resistance can stay in both tiers considering it scales from Jeanne, who's an Umbran witch like her. Though the Madness resistance I'm unsure on what to do with that considering Rosa doesn't have the same thing, and she's an umbran witch like the two of them.
The 4 Cardinals of Virtue
Now this has been bugging me for quite some time. Where in the hell did they ever shown to be Non-Corporeal in the first place? Literally every time they show up they have a physical form. Unless I'm missing something, nothing about any of their encounters shows that they have a disembodied form to begin with.
Father Balder
Now this one is a bit more minor, but still noteworthy nonetheless. So I found a line in his profile addressing him as a she, and unless I'm missing a canon fanfiction, I'm 88% sure that he's a guy. OvO
