Minamoto no Yoshitsune gave his flute to Shizuka Gozen, just like in the Japanese drama, Yoshitsune. 😭💓

The Chreon “Meta”

As several of you have requested, here is my official Chreon rambling:

I just find Chris and Leon’s dynamic to be so interesting, and if you apply a romantic lense to it, I think it becomes even more interesting.

The first time they actually meet on screen in RE6, but we know they’ve met at least once before (TerraSave reunion party) but potentially twice (when Leon told Chris Claire was on Rockfort Island). At that point, Chris was still struggling with getting all his memories back after the amnesia, but for someone who supposedly didn’t have much of a connection to Leon and had only seen him once three years prior, he seemed to recognize Leon right away once they stopped fighting and were face to face. I also really love this part where, even though they just had their guns pointed at each other, Leon just puts hand on Chris’s arm to get him to stop. The way Leon immediately follows it with “I know you’ll make the right decision” and tells Helena that he trusts Chris- it’s everything to me.

And we know Chris cares about Leon too. The sheer desperation in his voice as he tries to warn Leon about the missle and then asks if Leon’s ok after the explosion. And let’s not forget Leon is having Chris to go save Sherry too– the same Sherry he views as a daughter and quite literally signed his life away to save.

Then we get to Vendetta which is where their relationship is displayed the best thus far (I say thus far ‘cause Death Island hasn’t come out yet). The bar scene in the film is iconic, but the scene from the bar is so much more emotional. I got a translation of the dialogue during the bar scene and it’s just so sweet. Rebecca leaves to go to the bathroom, giving Chris and Leon a chance to talk privately and it’s explicitly mentioned that it hurts Chris to see Leon this way because he cares about Leon and it reminds him of himself back in Edonia. Translation courtesy of convenientmirror.

Throughout the entirety of Vendetta, Chris and Leon just seem so close. In my 100000th rewatch of the movie, I finally screenshotted something I’d noticed a while back. Chris just doesn’t take his arm off Leon’s back. Like Leon straight up punches Patrico and Chris is having a conversation with the waitress but he leaves his hand on Leon’s back the whole time. I’m not sure whether that was a “take it easy” gesture or a comforting gesture– probably both– but it was cute. It reminds me of the way Leon put his hand on Chris’s shoulder/chest in RE6 to stop him so they can talk. For two guys who allegedly aren’t that close they sure are comfortable putting their hands on one another…

And don’t even get me started on the way they look at each other in the movie… I don’t care what anyone has to say the way Chris especially looks at Leon, you don’t look at someone like that unless you’re admiring them. The hallway scene in particular really stands out to me. As I’ve mentioned in another post, they’re on a time crunch here to both save Rebecca, stop the infection of the city, and nab Arias yet they take the time to stand unnecessarily close to each other and stare into each other’s eyes. They’re also so in sync during the hallway fight scene. Despite never having fought together before like this, Leon communicates the “let’s finish these bastards” with nothing more than a head tilt and Chris understands that perfectly. They fight together seamlessly as if they’d trained together for years. I wonder what would’ve happened if the zombies hadn’t shown up and no one had interrupted their moment.

And now with Death Island, we get to see these two together again. I hope they have as many moments here as they did in Vendetta. Especially with the setup of the files being stolen for Leon, Chris, and Jill, I think a lot of interesting things could happen.
