クリス・レッドフィールド
IGN has featured Leon on the list of things they would like to see in "Resident Evil 6", calling him one of the two main characters of the series along with Chris Redfield, and describing him in the article about the best zombie fighters as the "straight-laced hero" of "Resident Evil". The IGN character guide made another comparison between Chris and Leon, calling the latter the "determined guy clawing his way up the ladder". Gameplanet's Aylon Herbet wrote that if both Leon and Chris would share starring roles in a "Resident Evil" game it would be "awesome", believing both of them to be the main protagonists of the series. In 2010, GameDaily predicted that Leon, along with Claire Redfield, would be the protagonist of the next main "Resident Evil" title, citing the series' pattern of alternating protagonists and Leon's last such appearance in "Resident Evil 4". In 2013, GamesRadar staff included Leon among the 30 best characters in the three decades of Capcom's history, stating that "he’s been battling Chris Redfield for the top spot as resident "Resident Evil" lead, but to us there’s no contest between the cool, fashionable Leon and the bullish Chris."
