bayo-weapon

I found the official Japanese site updated this morning with a new weapon for Bayonetta's feet  They appear to be ice skate looking blade weapons.  Keeping in line with the ridiculousness of the game, I would not be surprised if she could, in fact, skate around the stage wearing these sweet kicks.  A triple lutz on top of a fallen enemy perhaps?

I kind of wish she could wear a pair on her hands as well.  Something tells me they could make Bayonetta sexy skating around on all fours.

Is anyone able to translate the text in the picture??

Update: Video of the skates in action!

    From what I can gather, yeah, they're pretty much ice skates.

    Looks like they're called 'Odette'. They also mention Cocutous, which may sound familiar to you being an avid Castlevania player.

    Maybe they actually create ice for you to skate on?

    There's actually a video up of the moves for this new weapon.

    I wonder what other goodies they got in store for Bayonetta, since I really can't wait for more sweet ass combos.

    Does that remind anyone else of FFX's art style?

    Ok Brad, I asked my Japanese friend and she said it says,
    "It says odet in the top part and the bottom part says,
    In exchange for the power to be immortal, you can change yourself into a swan.
    The witch odet’s soul is trapped inside by “kokyu-tosu,” a frozen hell."

    (swear im not gay)
    the skates are badass and all, but they should have chosen a different color or style, B's gun-stilettos are slim enough that they fit her form, these are flat and wide, detracting from her appearance, and while shes wearing all-black the teal/blue shoes tend to look like some chach's sky blue air-jordans.

    it's a sort of "put these special shoes on" vibe, which reminds me of zelda, and im not sure if i like that,,, i probably do.
