Your sole complaint is that on occasion you can't be killed?
Gee whiz..
And in that game it's not a reward you just get it just because.
I'm sorry for discussing the minutia of Bayonetta in the Bayonetta discussion thread, Mighty And Wise Game Historian Ryudo, I'll make sure to just blindly shower it with praise like every other person on the internet next time.
Let's ignore that I actually did shower it with praise.
I'll also ignore that you said a reward isn't a reward because the game gives you a reward after you dodge just because that's the way it is, heh.
Using Batman as an example is laughable a very simplistic crap dumb combat system. That's the kinda garbage that gets action games more popular is making them dumb. It's super simple combat with button prompt and rinse and repeat.
What does Batman even have to do with this conversation? When did I mention Batman? Are you alright? Do you want me to call you a doctor? Seeing hallucinations is no laughing matter!!!
Seriously though, I think you got confused because of this:

When I said Counter, I was referring to the counter Bayonetta does with the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa when you time your parry perfectly.
