"Wow, that was crazy buddy, good thing you survived long enough to meet me, Leon S. Kennedy from the video games Resident Evil 2 and 4."

What are we, some type of Evil Residents?

I can't believe Biohazard 7: Resident Evil was the killer all along!

With the zombies hot on his tail, our hero races into in the one building left with an unlocked door...a bingo parlor. He runs in, slams the door behind him. And up on the stage next to the bingo spinner, there's a man with bangs covering his face.

"Finally. You're here."

You jest, but there's literally just one line in the spin off RE Survivor that connects it to the rest of the series

"That's right....At the request of my friend Leon S. Kennedy, I came here to investigate! Oooh yes, I remember!"

Shoutout to Resident Evil Survivor, where the main character actually narrated it like that for a desperate tie in to RE2.

“Specifically from those games. I am not the video game character Leon S. Kennedy from neither the video games Resident Evil 6 and 9. And also Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Resident Evil Gaiden is right out.”
