Leon's of Italian descent, his family was slain because his dad was a mafia member, and he's making another appearance in a movie. He'll be in Resident Evil: Death Island this summer
I'd demand one after surviving through a lava castle, a blast furnace with two trolls, and a sassy cult leader in a bathrobe with a creepy man crush on me.
Till this day, he’s still traumatized about what happened in Raccoon City Plus he started drinking, feeling guilt because there were some people he couldn’t save
+ he feels guilty for being alive. In RE2 he's late for his first day, saving him from the outbreak, thus making him feel guilty for the rest of his life
Fun fact: The desert eagle that you get in RE2 has Leon’s name engraved on it as it was a graduation gift to him from his foster-father. In the novelization of the game this gun was Leon’s primary that he used the entire night.
@@kirowaterlaw9432 Yep they have the whole series up to Code Veronica (to my knowledge). The book for resident evil 2 is RE: City of the dead, Sd perry did a very good job at doing both Leon's and Clare's perspectives.
Bro with how he acts you just know he doesn't want to get attached by fear of losing those he holds dear. Ex: his parents died, he fell for Ada, she used him, they grew distant but still had that bond because they know how each other act. Attachment and trust issues is also something I related a lot to with Leon. I am always too scared to get attached by fear of just feeling the pain again of losing those I grow close to.
Fun Fact: in original RE2 canon, Leon arrived late to his first day, in fact a day later, as he was blackout drunk till midnight after a night of drinking his sorrows away after a breakup with his girlfriend. This saved his life, as he would've been swarmed by zombies in the station, had he arrived on his set date This actually makes you think about the layers of why Leon can't let go of Ada, despite her constant backstabbing, and the fact that he picks up drinking again after Ada disappears for like the 50th time Someone fact check me on this, I could be wrong
In fact, IF Leon ARRIVED ON TIME, the US Army would not have let him move, since on September 28 they blocked a section of his route (it was said in BIOHAZARD 3: LAST ESCAPE manual/survival guide). Only because of the impending bombing of RC, army began to leave the territory. (Sry for mistakes, my English a little rusty)
i always assumed the weight thing was because re4 leon is fucking RIPPED but infinite darkness leon is way slimmer. i just figured the 10lbs difference was due to the loss of his honkin titties and outrageous biceps
if anyone wants to know where the source came from of him being orphaned/family slain, then its from cfc cap fanbook vol6. its in japanese but im pretty sure a translated version is roaming around the internet
THANK UUUUU it drives me nuts every time i hear this story like??? no man capcom has never given us anymore of his backstory than beyond he's late to his first day in raccoon city n then his story starts from there. (some childhood info wouldn't b too bad for leon tho capcom... just sayin...)
Did you know Leon has Mott's fruit snacks in place of his brain cells? This fact can mostly be seen in Resident Evil 2 at such moments like seeing someone mortally wounded and just saying "hm, that looks bad :/"
Fav leon quotes for me is "Cant remember the name? Senior moment perhaps" And many more its a bit sad that in remake there is not much funny voice lines
@@theokayishgamerWould've been cool if they kept them in the same universe, although demons trying to take over earth AND government zombies might've been too much😂
@@pixytorres7117 After Claire went off to find her brother, Leon and Sherry were apprehended by the US Government. While they put Sherry in protective care, they used her as leverage to force Leon to join because she’s potentially a bioweapon, as shown in RE6. Leon also has the experience they needed to deal with bioweapons. That is why he said that he was “asked” to join and that he “didn’t have a choice“.
fun fact: Leon was named after Léon from Léon: The Professional 4 years before Leon's debut in Resi2 in 1998. And his Matilda handgun after Matilda from the same film.
"Leon had pretty traumatic childhood" Me: Oh he got abused or neglected by his family or something? "Left orphaned after his entire family was *slain* " Man wtf that's not a "pretty" traumatic anymore 💀
Tbh, Leon is probably around 6 foot and likely close to 200 lbs if not more. Japanese weight estimations of Americans are usually highly inaccurate due to large differences in body types and bone structures that Japanese people just don’t have. Anyone who’s seen Leon’s lean muscular frame know that he most certainly does not weigh 155 lbs.
Yeah. I wonder if they will change his weight in RE4 remake. I can see Leon being about 155 in the RE2 remake, but in this RE4 remake he definitely looks 185 at the very least. Leon was created at a time where Japanese creators just threw numbers on people and called it a day, but now they are more realistic with weights so hopefully they update Leon’s weight
Matthew Mercer is one of the best VAs, Cant change my mind. Hes also Cassidy (Mccree) in overwatch, He is in Final fantasy if i am correct an does a lot of anime dubs
He is super light for all the things he does. i whould have thought he had like around 80 extra pounds from muscle, but no he is all skin and bones apparently.
Leon is the kind of person when there's a locked rickety wooden door, instead of kicking it down, he would rather go and find the key
But when the door is not locked he kicks it

@@samf.s.7731literally him at the ending
😂😂
Not anymore in the remakes it seems. Aeon is a semi canonical thing in the OG games but in the remakes it's slowly going to be not
Y am I laughing so hard at this? 👀🤭
Leon is the only character who still hasn’t met Jill Valentine
This finally changes with Death Island, that's set after re6
Hope we see Ada too
@@ZenBuu04 we wont i bet
@@ZenBuu04 come to think of it ada has appeared in every resident evil game/movie that has Leon in it except Vendetta so far
He did in dead by daylight but I don't think that's canon
Leon's of Italian descent, his family was slain because his dad was a mafia member, and he's making another appearance in a movie. He'll be in Resident Evil: Death Island this summer
Where do tou guys get those informations???
Kennedy is a irish last name / surname
Like the president's,
Dosen't rule out him being italian .
@@Lupo32 you're right there, it is Irish but he's supposed to be Italian. He could be of Irish Italian descent
@@chey4456
Shoot if you gave him white hair and red jacket he would be devil may cry.
Capcom decided Chris got the games Leon has the movie fame 😂
Re4 should have been called Rizzident evil 4
Leon also oddly enough have some of the weirdest iconic quotes ever uttered by a video game character.
"Where's everyone going? Bingo?"
"Your right hand comes off?"
"No thanks, bro!"
"Saddler. You're small time."
"Insect lives doesn't compare to human lives"
Ashley: No way leon
Leon : Way
I know that after resident evil 4, Leon needs a god damn raise
I'd demand one after surviving through a lava castle, a blast furnace with two trolls, and a sassy cult leader in a bathrobe with a creepy man crush on me.
And saving your whiny ass daughter (original Ashley not new Ashley I love her)
The government never give him a raise on payment, because of this in re6 the game start killing the zombie president easily 😂
Fun fact - Chris: "Hey Leon, the Redfield bloodline won't continue by itself"
Leon s(simp) Kennedy : if it ain't Wong , it's wrong
@@kc_boii7159 Leon s(sigma) Kennedy : if her name is Ashley, then she is ready 💦
Claire over Ada any day of the week lol
@@coffee8599not according to Leon. For him it's Ada over everyone any day of the week.
He got plans for Wong bloodline
Fact: Leon have unlimited patience to to put up with Ashley and the famous phrase "Leon help!!"
He has been through hell without loosing his hairstyle. I mean, no matter how much he runs or dodge or fight, his hair always looks good.
Till this day, he’s still traumatized about what happened in Raccoon City
Plus he started drinking, feeling guilt because there were some people he couldn’t save
It's so sad that the biggest chad in RE2 couldn't make it. Even if it isn't, "No Time To Mourn" is canon to me
+ he feels guilty for being alive. In RE2 he's late for his first day, saving him from the outbreak, thus making him feel guilty for the rest of his life
He started drinking because of Ashley''s "LEEOOON......HEEELLLLLPPP" 😭😭😭
THEY HAD NO RIGHT TO MAKE HIM THAT FINE
Right?! Leon turned me back into a gamer girl.
Fun fact: Leon Kennedy is Just a modern Day Link
@@Skyeor_Gojo fun fact: Leon Kennedy is my husband
@@Starch1vee he doesn’t exist I’m sorry 😥

Fun Fact: Leon is very supersticious, so in each game, for good luck, he has his toes covered in honey.
Fun fact: The desert eagle that you get in RE2 has Leon’s name engraved on it as it was a graduation gift to him from his foster-father.
In the novelization of the game this gun was Leon’s primary that he used the entire night.
That's pretty damn baller.
As an RE fan, I never knew Leon was adopted. Is this in his wiki?
There is a RE2 novel?
@@kirowaterlaw9432 Yep they have the whole series up to Code Veronica (to my knowledge).
The book for resident evil 2 is RE: City of the dead, Sd perry did a very good job at doing both Leon's and Clare's perspectives.
@@john20red the novels are from RE Zero to Code Veronica and you're absolutely right, she did a phenomenal job on it.
He loves to make witty puns after traumatic situations
He's so freakin handsome
Especially in RE4 the original one brings back memories
Bro with how he acts you just know he doesn't want to get attached by fear of losing those he holds dear. Ex: his parents died, he fell for Ada, she used him, they grew distant but still had that bond because they know how each other act. Attachment and trust issues is also something I related a lot to with Leon. I am always too scared to get attached by fear of just feeling the pain again of losing those I grow close to.
Fun fact most don't know about Leon: he doesn't have any cigarettes, but he does have gum
He quit smoking
I always thought he was a non smoker anyway, wanting to be healthy conscious and all with all the academy training. Leon's a sensible boy.
Fun Fact: in original RE2 canon, Leon arrived late to his first day, in fact a day later, as he was blackout drunk till midnight after a night of drinking his sorrows away after a breakup with his girlfriend. This saved his life, as he would've been swarmed by zombies in the station, had he arrived on his set date
This actually makes you think about the layers of why Leon can't let go of Ada, despite her constant backstabbing, and the fact that he picks up drinking again after Ada disappears for like the 50th time
Someone fact check me on this, I could be wrong
His unlucky make his lucky
In fact, IF Leon ARRIVED ON TIME, the US Army would not have let him move, since on September 28 they blocked a section of his route (it was said in BIOHAZARD 3: LAST ESCAPE manual/survival guide). Only because of the impending bombing of RC, army began to leave the territory.
(Sry for mistakes, my English a little rusty)
I like the new one, where they told him to stay away, and then he went on his own to investigate after not hearing a word for five days.
Yeah, this was in the original from 1998, the remake changed it and made him more investigative of why was he told not to come
Leon has two listed heights and weights.
178cm/5’10”
180cm/5’11”
70.2kg/155lb
75kg/165lb
5'10 bare foot
I have the height, got to lose some weight though😂
i always assumed the weight thing was because re4 leon is fucking RIPPED but infinite darkness leon is way slimmer. i just figured the 10lbs difference was due to the loss of his honkin titties and outrageous biceps
I mean it makes sense. Some days I’m feeling 5’11, and the next I’m feeling 6’.
@@privatedadbod same. I’m 180cm flat in the morning and just under 179cm at night. Squatting days got me as low as a strong 177cm.
You missed one: he can’t spell T-R-E-A-T

if anyone wants to know where the source came from of him being orphaned/family slain, then its from cfc cap fanbook vol6. its in japanese but im pretty sure a translated version is roaming around the internet
THANK UUUUU it drives me nuts every time i hear this story like??? no man capcom has never given us anymore of his backstory than beyond he's late to his first day in raccoon city n then his story starts from there.
(some childhood info wouldn't b too bad for leon tho capcom... just sayin...)
Leon sees any weapon or fight style and can parry it with a small melee knife apparently. Cool talent tbh
Hes got the best hair in the game
That he's the whole goddamn meal
Leon after his family are gone: "where's everyone going..."
LMAO
He need some milk
“Limbo?”
Bingo ?
@@HelloThere-bg7hq "Where's everyone going? Bingo?"
Did you know Leon has Mott's fruit snacks in place of his brain cells? This fact can mostly be seen in Resident Evil 2 at such moments like seeing someone mortally wounded and just saying "hm, that looks bad :/"
Fav Leon quote: “Your right hand comes off?”😂
"Say whatever you please."
I gotta say my favorite is, “If you don’t need me, then get off my back old man!”😂
@@taylorellis846 His comebacks so wack but iconic 😂
Me: "Where's Everyone Going? Bingo?"
Fav leon quotes for me is "Cant remember the name? Senior moment perhaps" And many more its a bit sad that in remake there is not much funny voice lines
He is the first rookie cop who survived a zombie apocalypse on his first day of duty.
We all know that RPD stands for Real Proud Dad
Fun Fact: Leon's VA in RE4 is also the VA for the Merchant.
All of our RE4 veterans know this.
@@Dowux not all
@@sebru I played this game since i was 4 and didnt know this fact till now
What’s even better is that Dante (Devil May Cry series) and Leon share similarities based on their appearance and connections together.
This makes sense since the first DmC game was originally meant to be RE4, but the idea was scrapped and it became it's own thing.
@@theokayishgamerWould've been cool if they kept them in the same universe, although demons trying to take over earth AND government zombies might've been too much😂
I unironically modeled my hair after Leon's 😂 he's just so cool
In order to keep Sherry Birkin safe, Leon became a government agent.
Only for the government to use her anyway
Not really, he didn't have a choice and the government force him to become one. It's stated at RE4 opening.
@@pixytorres7117 After Claire went off to find her brother, Leon and Sherry were apprehended by the US Government. While they put Sherry in protective care, they used her as leverage to force Leon to join because she’s potentially a bioweapon, as shown in RE6. Leon also has the experience they needed to deal with bioweapons. That is why he said that he was “asked” to join and that he “didn’t have a choice“.
@@KalebKing88 Oh now I get it, thanks for the info. I have played all the games but never knew that info.
@@pixytorres7117 There’s an epilogue in RE3 (original), and a cutscene from RE: The Darkside Chronicles regarding how Leon got “recruited”.

here's another fact: he's hot af
I never understood why people simp, until I met this guy 😭

Talking about abandonment issues: ada wong

Leon avoids jail time in 2004 after refusing "overtime" ...
Tbh, Leon is probably around 6 foot and likely close to 200 lbs if not more. Japanese weight estimations of Americans are usually highly inaccurate due to large differences in body types and bone structures that Japanese people just don’t have. Anyone who’s seen Leon’s lean muscular frame know that he most certainly does not weigh 155 lbs.
That's all I could think about. There is NO WAY my skinny ass is his size lol.
Yeah. I wonder if they will change his weight in RE4 remake. I can see Leon being about 155 in the RE2 remake, but in this RE4 remake he definitely looks 185 at the very least. Leon was created at a time where Japanese creators just threw numbers on people and called it a day, but now they are more realistic with weights so hopefully they update Leon’s weight
@@naeshaunedwards7731 man, I’m pretty sure Leon probably sits right at about 200-205 lbs

That's a neat detail that he was orphaned. I actually didn't know that 😅
He is THE protagonist of the whole verse.
He is super light for all the things he does. i whould have thought he had like around 80 extra pounds from muscle, but no he is all skin and bones apparently.
his last appearance in RE canon was in vendetta
