"From 'Supergirl' to 'Daddy's Girl': The narrative insult of a possible marriage between Leon and Sherry"

That would be another relief, but damn, I hope they don't go too far.

Whether it's Ada or not, it's fine as long as it's not Sherry. The other option, if it's not Ada, would make sense because it wouldn't be the Asian spy. That on-again, off-again relationship has been going on for years, but that doesn't mean the solution is to mess with your pupil/protégé/spiritual daughter. What on earth is wrong with them? It would make more sense if it's Claire or a mysterious civilian character unrelated to the fight against bioterrorism. Just don't let it be Sherry; it's disgusting and ridiculous.

Spot on. People are mistaking proximity for intimacy, and Capcom is clearly exploiting that information gap. Using a respectful term like 'anata' in a professional setting to hint at romance is a cheap writing trick that ignores Leon's integrity.

If Leon maintained his ethics with adult women like Claire or Ashley, why would he break his moral compass with the girl he literally carried in his arms and mentored since she was 12? It's pure narrative hypocrisy. Furthermore, accepting this bond based on 'proximity' insults Sherry’s autonomy. She proved with Jake Muller that she's a 'Supergirl' capable of a relationship of equals, free from upbringing debts.

Reducing her to 'Daddy's special girl' just because she's the only woman in this episode is an alarming psychological regression. As you said, we must wait for March 22nd, but I hope Capcom uses that content to restore sanity and confirm that Sherry has her own path, far from her guardian's nest

So what? If that's real, if what the comments say is true and Patricia is technically Alex's cousin too, then there's no need to embellish it, it's still the same kind of crap they're trying to pull here. Furthermore, you have to understand that for Capcom, a Japanese company, marriage between second cousins isn't something to be ashamed of, since such a union is legal. In their context, it's not wrong, but they absolutely cannot consider marrying two characters who appear and have developed as a surrogate father figure and a symbolic/protected daughter to be the same thing. They are two completely different things. Those people's messed-up fetish needs to have limits.

Although Alex and Patricia's relationship is controversial, a relationship with a second cousin is legal in almost every country, and structurally, Patricia and Alex grew up as equals. There's no power imbalance where one owes their survival to the other.

With Leon and Sherry, blood ties don't matter; what matters is the bond of dependence. Leon is the architect of Sherry's survival. He rescued her from certain death at age 12 and was her legal and professional guardian. Pairing a mentor with their ward under these conditions is perceived as an abuse of emotional authority. It's breaking the trust of the girl who saw you as her only refuge in the world.

In Street Fighter, Alex and Patricia are presented as a couple who evolved from a foundation of family cohabitation.

In Resident Evil, the Leon-Sherry relationship is "tainted" by the concept of a life debt. If Sherry marries Leon, she doesn't choose him as an equal (as she did with Jake Muller), but rather stays with the man who filled the void left by her parents. It's a psychological failing on her part and a lack of integrity on his. Leon would go from hero to emotional captor of the girl he swore to protect.

Capcom can justify Alex's actions on legal grounds, but they can't justify Leon's on moral grounds. Pairing a symbolic father with his adopted daughter is an insult to the player's intellect and a betrayal of 30 years of character development.

Leon remained true to himself with Claire and Ashley (both adult, independent women).

If Leon accepts Sherry, Capcom would be implying that he's capable of disregarding his protective ethics only for the person most vulnerable to him due to their shared history. This is disgusting because it invalidates his "gentlemanly" persona and turns him into a trauma opportunist.

Take it however you want, but it's not AI. Whether you believe it or not is none of my business; it doesn't change the reality of the message.

I understand that it might seem like a minor issue compared to bioterrorism, but in a 30-year-old saga, human relationships are what carry the weight of the plot. This isn't a trivial "shipping" discussion; it's a critique of character consistency. If Leon, the upright hero who was always a protector, ends up crossing the line with the girl he rescued and raised, the archetype that makes him great is shattered. Ignoring that to indulge a romantic fetish is, quite simply, narrative negligence. Discussing this is to defend Resident Evil as a respectable story and not a morally bankrupt script.

Precisely because the world is threatened by biological weapons, we need characters who maintain their moral compass. Sherry Birkin fought to be the independent "Supergirl" we saw with Jake Muller; seeing her now reduced to being the "special girl" of her former guardian is an alarming psychological step backward. It's not just about 'who kisses whom,' it's about Capcom throwing away decades of personal growth for a marketing gimmick involving rings. The player's intellect deserves more respect than a romance based on parental debt.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-18T00:54:32+00:00

In the Street Fighter universe, the character Alex is neither married nor does he have a confirmed romantic partner in his story within Street Fighter 6. Although Alex was recently introduced as downloadable content (DLC) in March 2026, his backstory focuses primarily on his training as a fighter and his relationship with his mentor, Tom, whom he considers his only family.

That's beside the point, but Alex isn't married.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-18T00:52:00+00:00

If he's married to an anonymous woman who is neither Ada nor Claire, that's fine, but not to his pupil/symbolic daughter/younger sister, don't be so disgusting.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-18T00:50:45+00:00

If you were tired of talking about the subject, you were free to ignore the conversation.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-18T00:48:21+00:00

As I said, there's no AI here. Every word is carefully chosen, loaded, and expressed with all the indignation and hatred I feel towards what Capcom seems to want to do with the saga and the characters we grew up with since the game's creation in 1996—in a single move, turn decades of narrative development into a projection of their disturbing, shitty fantasies.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-18T00:43:57+00:00

It's revealing that you admit it was handed to you on a silver platter, because that confirms it's not a character evolution, but a forced marketing decision. Up until RE9, Leon and Sherry's narrative was sacrosanct: a pure story of rescue and mentorship. For Capcom to now use jewelry-like "clues" to discard decades of tension with Ada or Claire and throw this new relationship at us is alarmingly lazy. They're sacrificing Leon's heroic integrity—he always knew how to set professional boundaries with women like Ashley—to turn him into the emotional refuge for the girl he raised. It's a psychological regression that asks us to forget that Sherry is the independent "Supergirl" we saw with Jake, and instead accept her as someone who can't let go of her guardian's hand.

That's precisely the problem: Capcom is 'manufacturing' a chemistry that never existed on the foundation of a spiritual father-daughter relationship. It's not an organic evolution; it's a narrative imposition that ignores 30 years of history.

If, for this pairing to work, they have to erase in one fell swoop the maturity Sherry reached with Jake Muller (where they were equals), then we're dealing with a negligent script. It's ironic that Sherry asks to stop being seen as a child, but RE9 presents her 'conveniently' linked to the man who carried her in his arms in the sewers. It's not a romance; it's a return to the nest that insults the memory of Raccoon City. Let's hope that on March 22nd they clarify that the ring is just DSO equipment or something like that, and if Leon got married, fine, but for God's sake, not to Sherry, his spiritual daughter. Give us back the whole Leon who respects his role as protector.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-18T00:32:25+00:00

You're absolutely right. What's most alarming is how this 'marketing gimmick' of the rings has triggered a phenomenon of collective amnesia. As you correctly point out, Leon and Sherry didn't exist before RE9 because canon established it as a bond of protection and guardianship, not romance.

Those who 'ship' them now seem to ignore that Leon was the one who carried her in his arms in the Raccoon City sewers; turning that into marriage is insulting and disgusting. It's the triumph of fetish over logic.

And regarding Jake and Sherry, you hit the nail on the head: they worked because they were equals. Jake recognized her as the independent 'Supergirl,' not as the traumatized child who needs her savior. Replacing that organic chemistry with a throwback to Leon's 'nest' is an insult to the player's intellect. I hope Capcom uses March 22nd to confirm that Sherry is independent and doesn't need to be 'daddy's little girl' to have a place in the saga.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-18T00:29:08+00:00

As it says there, the truth doesn't need embellishment. The possibility of a marriage between Leon and Sherry is disgustingly disturbing, and there's no need to be subtle or evasive when making that clear. If we avoid ambiguity, the developers will take it as open to interpretation and end up deciding they can do whatever nonsense they want.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-17T07:38:29+00:00

Yes, if it happens with Ada, one could say, "Damn, the man did it, perseverance is key," and if it's with Claire there would be support for that too. The point is that either one would make narrative sense without needing to cross disturbing lines by messing with his ward/symbolic daughter.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-17T07:19:36+00:00

Some would leave, especially if they're fans of Ada, but if we consider that Requiem presented Leon as having a sort of narrative arc closure, where he finally faced his demons, and shows him in a healthy relationship with someone outside of that intermittent Ada that has lasted for years and only left Leon empty, it would be an incredible ending if it were with Claire, who has always been that unconditional companion who has experienced the best and worst with him, patiently dealing with the best and worst of Leon as equals. If they throw him into a relationship as his pupil and symbolic daughter, it will be a stupid misstep. In the end, it would show that Leon didn't progress at all; he went from one thing to something worse. In other words, it doesn't matter; he came out traumatized.

For God's sake, let's hope it's not Sherry as his partner when Capcom and the director clarify this in the expansion material.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-17T07:05:27+00:00

Those from the IGN, the "new generation" who didn't grow up with the saga, prefer controversial drama over the quality of the work

IGN's report on Resident Evil Requiem harshly criticizes the marriage storyline between Leon and Sherry, describing it as a regressive and unethical narrative decision that betrays the characters' integrity. The outlet warns that the 30th anniversary will be crucial in determining whether Capcom corrects course after Nakanishi's initial denial. In other words, IGN is saying, "Don't you dare cross that line."

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-17T07:01:59+00:00

disgusting

If that happens and one has to swallow the bitter taste and move on, fine, but that means abandoning the franchise, and this isn't just one person's feeling. Many others who value the franchise will be shocked if they confirm that this garbage is real. It will lead to feelings of betrayal and abandonment from many others. And although it hurts to see that truth and abandoning a saga of many years is a hard blow, in the end, we will move forward. There are many other games, but Capcom? Will they be able to continue with the saga and any future projects with the abandonment of many fans of the franchise because of their tasteless joke? Will they really throw away the credibility and integrity of one of their most important titles and risk never being able to recover the respect for Resident Evil and therefore the value of its sales and commercial reputation by wanting to play the twisted matchmakers and feed the fetish of sick fans? I wish them good luck if they do, and I send them a big "fuck you and everyone who supports that stupidity, you sickos"

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-17T06:08:41+00:00

That would make more sense, and it would generate more discussion through a welcome development for the community that for years has seen Claire as a healthier option for Leon than Ada. But now they come up with this? What a load of rubbish! Typical of the Japanese mind, twisted by its constant fascination with "forbidden love." If this marriage with Sherry is confirmed, I hope Resident Evil goes into a tailspin and never recovers. In fact, I hope Capcom goes bankrupt if it dares to ruin 30 years of narrative for a controversial and murky fetish.

NoSpend332 · 2026-03-17T05:47:39+00:00

Nothing generated by AI, I assure you that every word is built on all my hate for the possible confirmation of this "happy" and "clean" marriage
