- So in this road to resident evil village video we'll be doing the evolution of Leon Kennedy, the star character in the original resident evil 2 and the new resident evil 2 remake, as we follow his journey throughout the years, encountering the many b.o.w.s fromthe umbrella corporation, to teaming up with iconic characters like Claire Redfield, Chris Redfield, Ada Wong, Sherry Birkin, and much more.
we'll also discuss the some of the plot summary of each game that he was in and we'll event delve in his origins prior to the event in re2. were we see him start as a rookie cop in the raccoon city police department up until he is a government agent fighting bioterrorism around the globe.
we also follow his adventures in resident evil darkside chronicles, resident evil 4, resident evil6, and even the side movies of resident evil damnation, resident vendetta, and resident evil degeneration.
we'll also discuss his future appearances in the upcoming Netflix series resident evil infinite darkness were he teams up again with Claire Redfield and he will also make another movie appearance in a new resident evil movie called welcome to Raccoon City.
Also this video is a precursor to the events prior to resident evil village or resident evil 8 so that we can get to know the lore prior to re8.
Anyways I hope you guys enjoy this very long video.

Longest Video I've ever made but well worth it. Leon was the very first Character I've played as back in the OG Resident Evil days and I'm happy to share this video with you guys as we watch his progression throughout the last couple of decades. Anyways Let me know which version of Leon was your favorite and hope you guys enjoy the content!!!
Love these kind of long videos great work
This is definitely my luck day luck indeed goad morning my man HeY DeVuH so cool.😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
Mate, I don't know what to say. It's been a pleasure to have CZcamsrs like you making such great content. Damn 37 minutes, that's a lot of work you've done here! There's no shadow of doubt this video will be a great hit! Congrats man! Road to 50k sub !
Resident evil 2 remake.
@@cmj956_ Thank you, It took forever to make, I wish I could've posted earlier but this really takes time and rendering it in 4K also slows the process down. Anyway thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed the content!!!
I was friends with Leon’s original voice actor, Paul Haddad. He knew one of my acting professors and we had been talking back and forth on facebook for a year or two, sadly he passed away almost a year ago now. Such a nice guy. In a way it is cool to see how Leon’s legacy started with Paul.
So sad that he's gone, Truly an inspirational person. Original RE2 was one of the best things of my childhood and Leon's character was one of the best. Happy to hear that you were friends in real life. That would have been an Honor to speak to the First Leon Kennedy.
@@HeYDeVuH It really was. He was such a kind soul. Honestly he was just as happy go lucky as rookie Leon! But he did lots of other stuff too in theatre, he was a seasoned actor.
I named my son Leon. RIP Paul Haddad, you brought many great memories to our household.
@@HeYDeVuH Rest in peace Paul Haddad 😭
@@korrasatsuki8773 Same here 👐😂
leon being surprised when ada removes her glasses always gets me :D
Haha Leon has some of the best moments LOL. Thanks for watching hope you enjoy the video!!!
@@HeYDeVuH yea did great explaining leon's story
Right. It’s like those glasses had superpowers to make everyone not know who she was.

Yeah, he’s a great character and all, but I remember watching my older brothers play RE4 sixteen years ago and having the biggest crush on him...it never went away 🤣
broooo that's me as well! XD
he's handsome and very charming! I think that's what sealed the deal hahahahaha
Maaaaannnn same 😅😂 I got the game as soon as it came out pretty much and it was an instant crush! My sister and I even made up a song about his really good hair 🤣🤣
He is just the type of guy you could share a soda with, and he wouldn’t judge you for what you like!
Leon is just so cute. I hate seeing him in pain, it hurts me too! Haha.
Gay?
leons girlfriend left him, and then he turned into the best soldier working for the president, a true king.
Sigma grindset
Leon S Kennedy will always be my number one favorite Resident Evil character of all time
True.
Who
Ethan winters is my new favorite
@@kouriier6112 asked
My next favorite is John F Kennedy
Leon was basically a normal guy in 2, then he received special training for spec ops now he's a hero, then he joins the secret service in 4 and becomes an agile hero and in 6 he's secret service but grizzled and experienced. He's the person who's played all the RE games. With each game he gets better and with each game so does the player.
No matter how experienced he gets he still won't be able to tell who Ada is before she slowly takes off the glasses and he hits her with the "Ada!?"
No Chris is leon has only been in 2 and 4 while Chris was there 1st,5th,6th,7th,8th code Veronica and code Veronica x. Lmao leon only gets more screen time so people think they know everything about him but no Chris one shots
@@samuraiblack8840 wtf has this got to do with Chris??
@@khotunkhan3950 Chris is superior to leon
@@samuraiblack8840 yh according to you smh
No one spoke about Chris here
Leon could get any girl in any RE game, except the one that he actually wants. 😂
Women: LEYAAAANNN!
Leon: ok.
Ada: leon.
Leon: AYDUHHHH!
@@smallbbsl7922 lmao 😂
Ashley wanted some "overtime" with him but he said no probably because the president wouldn't take kindly to one of his agents banging his little girl. Angela from the CGI film Degeneration also fancied him as did Manuela from Darkside Chronicles who was basically a good Alexia Ashford. I think Helena in 6 had a thing for him as well. He needs to give Ada up as a lost cause to be honest because not only does he not even know her name since "Ada Wong" is an alias or even much about her but she works for evil bioweapon creators he's trying to stop retrieving viruses for them that Leon's trying to destroy.
@@smallbbsl7922 lolololll 😂😂
@@smallbbsl7922 AYDUHHH WAIT!
Leon's ex girlfriend did him a favour by breaking up with him in a way since if he'd gotten to Raccoon City on time he'd have died in the zombie attack and become one himself with the others.
T-Virus outbreak was actually caused by Chris in order to find the perfect fit to continue his bloodline.

In the remake, it is pretty obvius Chris planted Sherry in the city "so... are you guys like, boyfriend and girlfriend?" Claire even tries to play along "yeah, we just met, though that would make a hell of a first date." Leon still doesn't get the hint.
Leon is just a good dude. He wanted to help people, and even if he did get roughed up after everything, that good soul is still there. I admire that. Also he's very cute, but that's just extra.
Resident Evil 2’s OG soundtrack is so ominous and creepy, I love it.
You're right, brings back so many memories. I hope the soundtrack for Village will be great as well.
What's very amazing about the original games score is that it fits really well into the remake too.
it's the whole OG trilogy. The OSTs are so iconic and memorable. Speaking from someone who didn't even grow up with the OGs. It's an aspect that I personally think the renakes pretty much fall short of
Leon is definitely my favourite RE protagonist especially when Ada is involved as the chemistry between the two is brilliant. The best showing being his badass persona from the RE4 era, I'm glad to hear he's getting a lot more spotlight going forward!
Yes definitely and the upcoming movie Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon city will bring the main cast during that time back.
ethan is amazing too
@@mattia577 dialogue for him is kinda ass in re8 tho
I'm a simple man, I see Leon S Kennedy - I click
I want to give u a like but the number of likes u have is 69 and I don’t want to ruin it.🙂
same
ikr same
I'm a simple woman. I see Leon's name, I simp. 😊❤
Wow Leon was only 21 in RE2? Man Im 21 and id be shitting my pants in a zombie mutant apocalypse.
Adrenaline is a helluva thing
That's a good thing since no one would mind the smell with all the zombies roaming around
Well now you can relate to him in Resident Evil Welcome to Racoon City remake, hes a fckn joke in that.
I'm 30 and same. Claire was freaking 19
Lol. He seems a lot more like a 21 year old in the remake. Not all that competent and naive/idealistic as they come!
Fuckin' Leon, man. I still remember pointing to his picture on the RE4 strategy guide as an example of how I wanted my hair cut.
You must have had good hair sir
Lmao, got good news is still p trendy thanks to Korean trends
LOLOLOL! 😂
Leon was my first fictional crush…still is a crush of mine…
RE2 Leon , The Reason I Joined the Force ... Best Decision of My Life , being a cop gave me a sense of purpose and accomplishment
I know right. Sucks about these times. But yeah I remember being a kid and thinking wow would be cool to be a cop
But how many zombies have you killed
You should try getting into forensic science
Remember that the thin blue line goes both ways. The people have your back when your bosses get tyrannical.
Thank You for your service and keeping people safe, I only wish safety and positivity for your day to day ordeals.
Leon S. Kennedy was the best rookie cop the Raccoon City Police Department ever had ✊
He definitely deserved a promotion after that one horrible day LOL
also the last one
Leon and Claire will always be my favorites in the series. Nothing against Chris and Jill. I've always liked their personalities and games more than the others
It's okay bro, Chris like leon and claire too
Chris and Jill are dull. Leon has a far more interesting character arc and Claire, well, she's adorable!
Leon seems to be the only character Capcom has consistently designed. There may be slight variations, but overall, he has the same look. For example RE3 Jill and RE5 Jill are two different people!! Then there’s Chris...
Chris is a shape shifter😂😂😂
What about "That" Movie? U know... The one they call Welcome to Racoon City
@@FauzanArifin fanfiction.
We don't talk about Chris
Well they're back to the RE5- RE6 look now..
But yeah in RE7 ..what the heck was that?
It should be noted that the reasons for Leon's latency change between versions of RE 2s. In the remake they specifically told him not to come, but he decided to go anyway due to his drive for helping out and curiosity. I know, doesn't change much, but it fits with his overall attitude throughout the game.
Yeah, it does. But I think the OG reason is more realistic and more interesting (plus it continues the vulnerability of dealing with his stress with drinking, which you see in the movies later). I don't think anyone would truly show up when told not to come or believe they dingle-handedly could stop a zombie apocalypse.
Favorite Leon... Hard choice, but honestly I liked him RE6 the most. His campaign was one of the saving graces of that game.
I love how in the leon and chris fight they just keep reversing each others holds until chris throws him.
They just wanted to wrestle.
Leon S Kennedy is one of my favourite RE characters alongside Claire Redfield
Looking at RE 4 I can see the infancy of the REngine. I don’t know how we didn’t see the new level of fidelity on the horizon back then. 4 blew our minds because of the gameplay changes, presentation and re imagining of all of the games trademark systems including the fixed camera.
I'd immediately buy a new Resident Evil if Leon would be the Main again...I miss him...
Yeah me too.
Re4 remake
Hello there
Little did he know
Chris is remembered for punching a goddamn boulder to save his squad mate XD
leon s kennedy is my favourite character in the franchise.
as for my favourite rendition of him, it has to be re4. you have his standard agent outfit, his rpd outfit and the mafia outfit. can't go wrong with that.
He was so beautiful in RE4
And RE2 remake lol
Leon was my first fictional character crush, son 😭😂 & still is. 🤒
I hope in RE9 they go back to third person point of view with leon being the main character helping out rose in the game but that probably wont happen
Seeing how RE8 ended it's pretty clear that Rose is going to be the new main character, and I'm pretty excited to see where they go with the story as it is now. Plus since it seems like Chris is more than likely to show up again in RE9, I hope they bring back Leon at some point in the Resident Evil story. Let's hope RE4 gets a badass remake in the mean time :)
maybe in re10
I think first person is better. But I like both
I rlly don't like any stories starting from re7. It's just my opinion. Bcz it became more of a supernatural thing instead of being scientific. A person not playing previous re games won't be able to properly relate Ethan's story to the previous ones.
The developers are actually stepping away from Chris and Leon because they are basically veterans. Any zombie threat is a cake walk for them so it kills any horror or scare.
That's why they introduce new characters like Ethan that are rookies so they can create horror scenarios again.
I hope we see leon and claire chris and jill in re9
That would be a great cast
I don't care about Ada though.
I hope we get to play as frank west lol. Man I wish dead rising stayed in the hands of Capcom Japan. Off the record was good but it went downhill. Capcom has really good zombie games. One thing that makes them good is that resident evil and dead rising(particularly the original) are both high stress situations. I hope resident evil 9 is mega scary and if dead rising comes back I really hope it's in the right hands and with more horror element.
I always wonder how awesome life would be if dead rising stayed in Capcom Japan.
The re2 remake is by far my favorite leon look I also like his persona too, I know the old leon likes to flirt and stuff but I personally prefer this new innocent better looking mr nice guy leon lol
Leon Kennedy is my man and favorite as well.
WowoW.
Noice
If Krauser didn't become a bad person, Leon would have a badass teammate. Dang....
Nah he has Chris
I’m still pissed that he didn’t bring back Leon in Resident Evil Village in someway, they ruined his streak. He was always appearing in the even digit games.
Re2 remake was my favourite Leon!
So you're telling me, if Leon never got dumped... we wouldn't get the Judo Supercop we know today? Huh...
To me Leon is the true hero in the Resident Evil world history of video games. He will always forever be my favorite character.
Ah Leon...still rocking the Karen cut to this day...
That’s not the karen haircut tho, it’s the late 90s good boy middle part haircut.
@@Lunamine Is it parted in the middle though? It's kind of just to the side of his left eye. Btw, I like your name. 😆
Not a karen cut but nice joke
@@kantofilms9167 Gotta disagree, my guy. Put that same haircut on a middle aged white woman, and she's speaking to your manager.
i never noticed..
I just want him to meet Jill, damn it...
Jill is still quarantined from the government after what happened to her in RE 5 according to REV 2
They were both brought into Dead by Daylight, alongside Chris and Claire. They released a trailer for the DLC that showed them interacting so if you want to see them meet, that’s your ticket.
Not canon
@@merchant69420 one way another what if
DONE!
Leon being able to physically stand toe to toe with chris "boulder fister" redfield is impressive af but ig that comes with the territory when you are just THAT professional
Awesome video! Leon had been my top 3 favorite VG characters of all time! Definitely RE4 Leon was my favorite version of him, RE2 my favorite RE game! Great job!
Thank You and also yes RE4 really fleshed his character out a lot, I love the small back talks he gives to the Villains. Also yes they did an amazing job for RE2 remake, Hope that Village will be just as great as well. Anyway thank you so much for watching!!!!
Great and awesome work on doing this on Leon S Kennedy, one of the RE bravest and skillful character there🤔😎
Thank you for this video. Must’ve been hard to put this all together. 🙏🏻🙌🏻✨
29:01 I love Hunnigans reaction there lmao. I like how the other chick pipes up too, like Leon is some random schmuck who needs someone to vouch for him.
Thank god you’re back! Loving the vids!
Thank You, happy you enjoyed the video. I hope you enjoy my recent vids as well. Much more to come
Great video this far, not even half way through the video yet
it's so incredible that we can grow with these characters
This is just what I needed 🔥🔥
Who knew breaking up with your gf and drinking for one day could save your life and make you a badass and John wick+
Another great vid! Thanx 😁
i cannot believe ive been here when you had just under 4k subs
seeing you grow is so crazy
Thank you so much and yes It's been a crazy ride and I am truly thankful that so many enjoy the content. I'll only keep getting better at this and everyone will get better content as well.
Awesome video. I hope Leon is in RE Village.
He was not
Leon in resident evil 6 is certified badass, I wonder how they're gonna continue with Leon story as a "Horror" game as he is already experienced with this kind of thing, one way to solve it is just to kill him off.
or make games more horror...lkke less ammo,he gets tired easily,stress messes up some of his abilities..
Very informative, thank you.
Fantastic video bro keep up the good work!🤘🏽
Great vid. Leon's a great character.
Thank You so much!!!
"whats going on in this town?"
-Leon S Kennedy RE2 1998
Leon will always be my number crush in this saga.
Leon is my favorite RE Hero since RE4. which is also my first and favorite RE to this day.
My favorite designs of leon were the resident evil 2 and 4 versions of him.
I miss this video but it's getting late I will watch this in the morning
My uncles used to play RS4 on the gamecube and I was so scared of watching them play it. Even the sound of when you’re being chased would give me anxiety. But I had to suck it up and keep watching if i wanted to see Leon 😂 One of my first video games crush (Shadow being the first lmfaooo I grew out of it tho 💀)
leon killing 1200 enemies in spain and wiping the hell out of it. thats my boi.
he did a lot of damage to the los illuminados thats for sure
Awesome video!
Leon was the first character i got introduced when i played RE2 as a kid and then when i bought RE4 and the rest is history. Leon instantly became my favourite Resident Evil character and he is one of my favourite video game characters. I think my favourite version of Leon are his RE2 and RE4 self. I love that dorky, rookie cop of RE2 who just wanted to help people and i do love how smartass and confident Leon is in RE4. One of the things i like about Leon is that despite all the tragedy and hardship he still goes out his way to protect people which is probably why Ada was so impressed by him when he refused to leave her behind. Oh and her dynamic with Ada is also great, just wishing we could have seen it again after RE6 which was chronologically the last time we saw them interact. Leon is probably one of the characters who has evolved and changed over the years both good and bad (Not really fan of his portrayal in Vendetta because it feels like retread of Chris's story from RE6 where Leon is drinking in a bar, mourning over the loss of his team members that we didn't even invest our time caring about. However i do think the conflict he has feels natural) Despite some of the writing issues, Leon is still my favourite RE character even to this day. You did amazing job with this video, Hey Devuh :)
Miss you man. Glad your back.
Thank you so much!!!
I like how Leon is slowly turning into Felix Kjellberg.
Just found your channel. Watched 3 vids. 1 was pretty good, subscribed on second and clicked the bell on third
I'm still bummed that Leon is not in re village and an even numbered resident evil entry at that. Not even as a cameo...
I didn't get into Resident Evil until Late 2017, and I immediately related myself to Leon Kennedy, starting with the 6th RE Entry. And, so far, I see myself as Leon Scott Kennedy only in general from that point on
Really wish you would have met him sooner 6 was not a good game but leon was a saving grace
Leon was always my favorite in older characters he was also in project x zone 2 as a backup character
Hey... it’s up to us to take our Umbrella... -badass guitar solo-
I already had a huge crush on Leon in RE2 because of his hairstyle. He looked like Nick Carter of Backstreet boys. It was around that time so it got me fangirling at a young age. He’s probably the first in game human I had a crush on. Then feelings returned when I played RE4. loool
A other good vidoe dude keep it up you rock
RE2 remake is the sexiest Leon!
Nah re4's is better in RE2 remake he looks like ass
Yeah Leon’s ugly asf in re2
Dafuk Re2 he looks like an ugly baby, Re4 and 6 where he shines
RE2 remake looks gay
Leon was the reason why I got in to resident evil re4 was the first resident evil game that I ever beat and is my favorite character in the resident evil franchise.
you've become the definitive voice for resi vids
Thank You so much!!!
Definitely the best, I love it.💘❤💎🥇
Love you content man! Keep it up!
Nice touch with the raccoon popping up lol
1:57 ngl, that "umbrellas kevlar" would look great in remake
This guy is a reason i was wearing this fuckin haircut for about 6 years. I looked awful, and noone told me that XD
Damn 6 years? You still rocking it?
@@lilwarlordpc5662 nah, I cut them about two years ago
Same. I was like, 9 when RE4 came out, got this haircut and no one told me i didn't look as good as Leon did lmao.
@@cauliflowerconnoisseur2710 I think Leon really gave the haircut a good image compared to when people only just thought of it as the emo cut
@@lilwarlordpc5662 that's exactly what they used to say it was. It wasn't until i was like 14 and couldn't take it anymore that i shaved it. People suck
Gotta love re4 with those witty one liners lol
Sweeeeeet.... I just made some popcorn. Let's go!
Thank you and that Popcorn smell is the best for watching long Vids
leon has always been consistent in the games, not the movies
I don't play this but I remember having a huge crush on Leon so I always watch my aunt's nephew play re4 before haha
I think Leon and his RoundHouse kicks, Supplex are why he’s a fan favorite.
Paul Mercer did a good job voicing those too
I like resident evil 4 best game and leon is best character
My favorite leon movie versions:
RE: Damnation
RE: Vendetta
RE4 was my first RE game. Leon will always be the GOAT in my eyes.
His hair keep getting better.
I actually like all the leons cant wait to see what happens with him.
Leon is still the every man that is constantly in over his head, despite his past training and experience.
My favourite character, he's so cool!
Loving this lore series
15:30
Krauser's voice is so cool.
I am kind of disappointed that they got rid of him in RE4
I’ll admit, I’m relatively new to the Resident Evil franchise. I’ve been aware of it since I was a kid, but never played any of the games or seen any of the movies until I became an adult. I started with Resident Evil 2 Remake and holy crap, it scared the absolute f*** out of me. I loved it.
The zombies and various G Creatures in RE2:R are what really sold the horror for me. Now as Resident Evil 4 Remake released, it doesn’t really scare me compared to the horrors I previously seen.
But the Ganados are scary in a different way. Since they still retain full cognitive function but retain no humanity, no moral compass and no sense of self preservation. That’s a level of scary that hits me with feelings hopelessness.
