Merchant is the most powerful character in RE4. Think about it: he's doesn't give a F about horrors on the island and actually set up shop to make a quick buck.
I know this is an old comment but I was just goin through life and I just realized that at the end, the merchant gets left behind on the exploding island :(((
Headcanon: Leon is finally starting to lose his marbles and isn't able to fully deal with the apocalypse, so he talks to himself and barters for items he already owns.
@@Railer61 With the 99.0 damage power it is close to RPG. For some reason I prefer Handcannon more than Chicago Typewritter but sadly we don't get it on Separate Way. T-T
Funnily enough when the Merchant has red eyes and you pick the sniper and you shoot him straight in the red eye, his sigh of death sounds like a ganado grunt
In the GameCube version there’s some death animations they removed from the ps2 version if you knife him with his coat open his coat stays open and it’s possible you can send him flying with a loop spin if you can kill him fast enough, he also can land on his head and fall over 😂
Welcome.. Gotta selection a good things stranger. Got some raaare things on sale stranger What are ya buyin? What are ya sellin? Ahhhhh,I'll buy it at a high price. heheehe Thank you Is that all stranger? not enough cast stranger Come back any time a wise choice mate, its ammo will penetrate just about anythin Ah!A choice of an avid gun collecta It's a nice gun stranger I see you have an eye for things Guns not just about shootin...its about reloadn,you know what im talkin about? Not only will you need cash but you'll need guts to buy that weapon stranger...stranger... now thats a weapon an awesome choice stranger It's gotta 3 round rapid fire capability, although it uses up ammo rather quickly stranger Haha!What you need that for,goin huntin an elephant? *cum*
Hypastpist he just sounds a bit British I don't believe he actually is but he's there because he's a peddler merchant and he also is infected with the virus however he seems to have control over it
As far as we know, the next RE will take place on a small village with a castle with Ethan and Chris coming back, if they add The Merchant to the game it would be greatest come back ever for any character in the franchise.
The merchant's laugh always made me wonder if he was secretly ripping you off. Then again, you'd be boned without him, so I guess I can't be mad at him either way.
00:00 Welcome! 00:02 Got a selection of good things on sale, stranger! 00:06 Got some rare things on sale, stranger! 00:10 What are ya buyin'? 00:13 What are ya sellin'? 00:15 Ahhh!

The merchant also seems to get progressively more and more infected by the "Las Plagas" without it having a negative impact on his mind. Never loses control or attacks Leon or anyone. Has anyone taken a moment to carefully look at his weaponry in his bigger shops? He can supply arms to an army. The dude is at the very least rich. By the looks of it extremely skilled, powerful and respected. The villagers, cultists and mercenaries don't seem to bother him. He sets up shop in all their heavily guarded structures and nobody can do anything abaut it. He seems to move through routes that no one else can see or think to use. He finds his way over long distances, cliffs and chasms, Islands with vast oceans inbetween and huge underground complexes carrying heavy weapons and munitions unbothered. Consistently being a hindrance to the efforts of the antagonists sometimes supplying what seems to be prototypes stolen from labs... AND NOBODY DARES TO OPPOSE HIM.
Maybe he also supplies/supplied weapons to the villagers as well so they all know him, thus not attacking him since he's more or less an ally (also he's infected with the plaga)
youre missing the very first thing you hear him say when you first meet him after the scene with louis. he says, "got something that might intrest you, stranger.."
@@ResidentReveler I've lived in UK and Australia, it's really close but have to give it to the Brits with a Cockney regional dialect. There's a few lines which you can 100% hear the British cockney twang. The others sound like lines which were intended to sound British, but the voice actor being American, likely incidentally had his own accent rub off to make the cockney English sound more Australian. Also comparatively, Spain is closer to the UK than it would take to drive across a lot of states/provinces in America, Canada or Australia; it wouldn't be too far fetched to find a British person there, and Brits are quite well renowned for ending up almost anywhere in the world in general lol. That's my 2 pence/cents anyway.

Well it seems the Duke is more powerful then the merchant now lol

Fun fact: Leon never says a single word to the Merchant.
Another fun fact: They share the same voice actor.
Yes, and it is no other than Paul Mercier who voiced Leon himself, and the good old Merchant.

"What do you need that for? Goin huntin an elephant?" Favorite quote from this guy
Incidentally Handcannon is my favourite weapon/magnum gun especially after upgrading it to max unlocking the infinite ammo potential.

Most underrated comment here.
The ammo he's selling isn't the only thing that can penetrate through anything
Blariana95 he didn't sell ammo
@@ivancarlos4951 LMAO
he technically sells you ammo when you buy the capacity upgrade so
when you buy a capacity upgrade you get the ammo as a fill up for free.
I beg your pardon?
4 people don't have the guts for the Mine Thrower.
I'll have to downvote then, I never used that weapon :c
Marcelo Aranibar You must not be going huntin' an elephant either.
I kinda like the Mine Thrower but you don't find much ammo for it
I loved the mine thrower,the drawback is that occupied a lot a space in the inventory
Never used it. Never had a use for it really
00:20 love this!
Agreed. He sounds so happy to take my money
Love the Merchant. He thanks you for every transaction and always makes you feel welcome. So friendly
Welcome..

@@thevashfan12392 Handcannon dude
I like his VA more than remake
Same VA as original Leon.
1:16 I wasn't prepared for that.
Strange, strange!
This is the best character in the game.
what are ya sel- is that all- hehehe- what are ya bu- is that all- hehehe than- come back any time.
Maybe the merchant is a BSAA in disguise, which is why he has a whole merchandise of weapons underneath his coat.
I'm here from watching RE4 Remake. I needed to comfort my soul just to hear the OG Merchant again.
Wait…. Did they change his voice actor?! First the dog, and now the merchant?!
I never played the old one I think the new one has some better lines
what's a british man doing in spain (or a latin country)?
Getting drunk and starting a fight as traditional!
+Hypastpist Is it really that unusual? Spain's just a charter flight away from London.
Hypastpist he just sounds a bit British I don't believe he actually is but he's there because he's a peddler merchant and he also is infected with the virus however he seems to have control over it
Australian
Hypastpist Selling illegal arms.... and illegal tea.
The "awesome choice" gets me every time, and the best part is I forget about it and get to relive it every few months
You can barely tell it’s Leon’s VA in the short lines, but the longer ones you can hear it better
0:15 - Buying a GPU in 2021:
“Not only will you need cash, but you’ll need guts, to buy that weapon!”
I can't believe The Merchant is voiced by the same guy that voiced Leon.
I love his laugh! X'D
Stranger stranger now that's a weapon
Me and a few friends still laugh about the voice to this day.
As far as we know, the next RE will take place on a small village with a castle with Ethan and Chris coming back, if they add The Merchant to the game it would be greatest come back ever for any character in the franchise.
And he did, slightly...
I mean, at least he was referenced
Well The Duke referenced The Merchant by saying "What're ya buying? - haha, that's just something an *old friend* of mine use to say"
And now, we got a reworked Merchant! 💜
The merchant's laugh always made me wonder if he was secretly ripping you off. Then again, you'd be boned without him, so I guess I can't be mad at him either way.

1:16 *When you wake up after a night of heavy drinking*
Hearing these all in one video scares me and makes me think he actually exists. The merchant isn't just an AI, he is sentient.

Stranger, hehah what you need that for ? , going to hunting an elephant ? ahhhHhhhHhhh
how to make him say that ? ? ?
a7Bullet how to unlock handcannon than ?
you must complete the merchant with all character 5 star in all stage
He says that when u buy the Handcannon, to unlock it u must get 5 stars in all maps with every character in The Mercenaries mode.
you have to unlock the hand cannon in mercenaries mode and and its free to the merchant but u have to tune up that weapon and its not free 😆
Buying the Hand cannon
it's weird that this gives me nostalgia for the vr version, the way I experienced the game
100% convinced he had the most relieving shit in his life at the end there
It was the voice of hope, peace, confidence and a feeling of being alive for me .every time
This video needs to have more views, I’m gonna share this to people
LMAO @that death sound. Brings back memories of my uncle taking him out in a hallway at a distance cause he thought it was an enemy

This is the same voice actor as Leon.
Pretty cool right.
Okay I'm *SPECIFICALLY* excited on this for the upcoming Remake
It reaches her ear and says: Welcome!

He has that mysterious crackhead vibe and i love it
Not really.
Stranger, Stranger... Now THAT'S a weapon.
When he say “come back anytime”, I shoot him and he never come back 😢😢😢
Had to comeback here after the RE4 Remake made my man sound derpy. RIP OG Merchant
Remake’s still got some charm. Definitely not as memorable as OG tho.
New one is derpy? Tf you on?
The coolest merchant ever
0:20 I think this is from where the legendary Clash Royale meme got its inspiration.
when you realize leon and merchant have the same voice
that explains why Leon never says a single word to him

Love the merchant's accent such a badass 💣💯💥👌
I love the merchant he was my favorite character and still is from resident evil 4. I would get Happy when I saw his shops.
