I translated Bayonetta's weapon names/descriptions

In a recent Famitsu article, they showed some of Bayonetta's weapons and gave short descriptions of them; so I figured I would translate them. The weapon names are incredibly cool, as are the descriptions. Enjoy!

1). Scarborough Fair ["Sukaboroufea"]
Created by the master of the devil arms world, Rodin. These 4 handguns are named "Parsley", "Sage", "Rosemary" and "Thyme". They can only be used by a witch that has "maximum witch ability" [or the strongest witches], it can give you strong power not only for shooting, but also for punching [strongest attack is used with your hands].
It can also be used together with madoujutsu [which I think means "magic"], so by saving your power, you can attack using the "Wicked Web" which puts a devil in Bayonetta's hair.

2). Onyx Roses ["Onikisuro-zesu"]
A set of shotguns that can be equipped to both the hands and the feet. They each have inside them the souls of fairies who gathered Black Roses for the demon realm, hence their name "Onyx Roses". Each bullet carries a curse from the fairies that infects whatever is shot.

3). Ashura Blade ["Youtou Shuraba"]
A Katana sword with the heart and fighting spirit of the devil "Ashura" trapped in the blade. Those who are cut with it will lose their soul.

4). Arms: Kurusedora ["Kurusedora"] *[this is a name of the devil, but I don't know the spell it can cast]. Madouki [literally means "Tool of guardian devil"] which has the ancient devil "Kurusedora" inside. The tip of the portal [probably the tip of the whip] can release the poison, and you can handle it just like a whip. It has the ability to snare and hold enemies.

Interesting, I like when even weapons have a story.

Thanks for the info, if you have more please share it with us.

By the way, do you have the link to watch those images?

It is from a Japanese game magazine, so I don't have a link. Sorry!
