The demon Madama Butterfly takes on the form of a beautiful woman combined with a swallowtail butterfly. She typically wears a purple dress that splits up the middle to show off her legs and high heels. The most eye-catching piece of apparel, however, is the large butterfly-themed headpiece. Her appearance seems to have changed slightly in Bayonetta 3, but overall, it carries the same aesthetic.

Is Madama Butterfly in Bayonetta 3?

Madama Butterfly makes a triumphant return in Bayonetta 3 and seems more powerful than ever. While she was limited to temporary use, the Bayonetta 3 release date trailer shows her in a more prominent role in combat.

It appears that the player will be able to fully transform into the demon and use Madama Butterfly's powers in full. Previously, players could only see the demon in Wicked Weave attacks and in Umbran Climax abilities. This new power could imply that Bayonetta has gained more mastery over Madama Butterfly or is willing to grant the demon more control of her body.
