'''Rodin''' ({{ja|ロダン|Rodan}}, ''Rodan'') is a supporting character in {{uv|Bayonetta}}. He runs a bar called the Gates of Hell, acting as the shop-keep and weapons smith for [[Bayonetta]]. With the usage of Golden LPs, magical records found in the ''Bayonetta'' series, he can supply her with powerful new weapons.

Rodin is a high-ranking demon who acts as a demonic weaponsmith, forging weapons made from the souls of demons for those capable of wielding them and able to afford them. Once a weaponsmith for Paradiso, he was a high-ranking angel with the Dea status, second only to its ruler Jubileus, The Creator. However, after a failed attempt to take over Paradiso for his own reasons (or perhaps after being falsely accused of doing so by jealous rivals, as his profile in the Hierarchy of Laguna suggests), he was cast from Paradiso to Inferno.


Now one of the most powerful ranking demons in Inferno, he harvests the souls of the fellow damned and fuses them into weapons. He hawks these wares from his bar, the Gates of Hell. Rodin created Bayonetta's [[List of firearms#Bayonetta's_Handguns|signature guns]] "Scarborough Fair" and "Love is Blue".

Now one of the most powerful ranking demons in Inferno, he harvests the souls of the fellow damned and fuses them into weapons. He hawks these wares from his bar, the Gates of Hell. Rodin created Bayonetta's signature guns [[:File:Scarborough Fair - Bayo1.png|Scarborough Fair]] and [[:File:Love is Blue - Bayo2.png|Love is Blue]], made from a special demonic alloy that “the Devil himself would do anything to get his hands on”. He had the gemstones embedded into the chambers of each gun, which house the spirits of demonic fairies from Hell. Through their magic, each gun contains an infinite number of automatically loading magical bullets.


In the first game, he has a mostly professional relationship with Bayonetta. He provides her with the weapons she needs to slay angels, and she provides him with halos, the in-game currency. In the second game, he is shown to be far more light-hearted than before; dressing as a street-side Santa during the holiday season, and proclaiming that disbelief in Santa Claus is "sacrilege". He also has a seemingly strong bond with the family of Enzo, Bayonetta's informant.

Rodin serves as a secret boss in both ''Bayonetta'' and ''Bayonetta 2''; the first game has him using his former angel combat skills, while the second has him use his current demonic powers at full strength. He is also a playable character in the second game’s multiplayer mode, Tag Climax.

===As an Assist Trophy===
Rodin appears as an [[Assist Trophy]]. He is voiced by Dave Fennoy in the English version and Tesshō Genda in the Japanese version and reuses clips from ''Bayonetta 2''. He will say "Let the games begin!" when summoned, and traverses around the stage using abilities similar to [[Bayonetta]]'s, though significantly stronger.
[[File:SSBUWebsiteRodin1.jpg|thumb|right|Rodin as an Assist Trophy in ''Ultimate''.]]
 
Rodin appears as an [[Assist Trophy]]. He uses his own version of the Wicked Weaves and After-Burner Kick, as well as generating random items and tossing them to those who summoned him. If items were turned off, then he will leave the stage without tossing items.
His attacks consist of:
*His own version of Wicked Weaves, which will either consist of him summoning giant versions of his arms for one punch, two punches, or an uppercut similar to Bayonetta's up smash.
*His version of [[After Burner Kick]], which can go diagonally upwards or diagonally downwards, which deal high knockback instead of being combo tools like Bayonetta's.
*If in the air, he can perform a [[stall then fall]] where he stomps onto the ground.
Before he departs, he will toss a random item (usually a battering item or projectile-firing weapon like the [[Super Scope]]) while announcing "Huh! Drink's on the house!". He can be KO'd and will give a point if that happens. If items were turned off, then he will leave the stage without tossing items.


===Spirits===
===Spirits===
Rodin also appears as two different [[primary spirit]]s. His spirit can be [[summon]]ed using the cores of {{h2|List of spirits (Animal Crossing series)|Brewster}} and {{h2|List of spirits (Pokémon series)|Aegislash}}. Rodin, the Infinite One can only be obtained by [[Enhanceable spirit|enhancing]] the Rodin spirit at level 99.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the Nintendo Switch version of ''Bayonetta 2'', players are capable of scanning 32 amiibo per day from any supported series in Rodin's shop, with him claiming she has a package from someone. Depending on the series of amiibo, he will make a comment about the location the package is from. If an ''[[SSB4]]'' amiibo is scanned, he claims Bayonetta has a package from her "fight club", and then asks her that she take him with her the next time she's invited.

**The ''Bayonetta 2'' port for Nintendo Switch came out before ''Ultimate'' was revealed, making this chronologically fitting.
