Kamiya is known for his eccentrics, and even while he talks about the interconnectedness of his games, he fails to give a detailed description of how they might be connected.

Kamiya would much rather force the players to create their interpretations by using their imaginations instead of directly feeding them the connections. Addressing the questions raised by the fans, he

All the games I create exist in the same single universe, the Kamiya-verse. This question specifically mentions Bayonetta and ****** May Cry, but for me Viewtiful Joe, Okami and The Wonderful 101 are all part of the same universe. Everything is interconnected, so please let you imaginations run wild.

His answer clearly states that the Kamiya-verse is all interconnected and encourages fans to come up with their interpretations. By doing so, he just added several more years to the lifespan of his games since this approach offers a fresh perspective to look at his games.

Both games, ****** May Cry and Okami, have some thematic similarities despite being a little different from one another. DMC features a more gothic style, whereas Okami is set in Japanese mythology; however, both games share battling supernatural forces and restore balance.

There might be some Easter eggs and other subtle suggestions that might point toward the direction of a link between the two games. After his latest statement, it could also be speculated that players might see more obvious crossovers in his future titles. ****** May Cry is one of his most successful franchises, which has also been adapted into an anime.

Even Bayonetta and Viewtiful Joe, two timeless classics from Kamiya, link with each other in mysterious ways. Though the two games belong to vastly different genres, one being an action-adventure while the other being a beat-em-up, they still somehow complement one another in the Kamiya-verse.

This approach to storytelling offers a fresh perspective on his games and makes them more layered and nuanced since the events of one game might somehow influence the other. This accounts for an interesting premise for the Kamiya-verse. What links do you think are shared among these games? Let us know in the comments below.
