** Also in the first and final episodes, Patrick thinks Leon is just lucky he managed to rescue Ashley Graham from the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Los Illuminados cult]] in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4Remake Spain]] until Jason shoots him down for underestimating him. In the final episode, Patrick calls him a hero, but Leon denies it, saying he was just lucky.

* IronicEcho: Dances around borderline StrawHypocrite nod. Towards the series ending, Leon shows the same self-preservationist fallacy that future BigBadWannabe Derek Simmons shows in regards to protecting national interests. An incredibly poor showing that gives credence as to why keeping such critical subjects from seeing the light of day can cause so many things to inevitably go wrong. Hence him and Claire semi breaking associations off.

* ContinuitySnarl: Leon tells Jason that the events of Raccoon City were covered up by the government. From a narrative standpoint, it's supposed to give the two something to bond over, but it goes against canon; ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles'' show the events of Raccoon City were very public and led to the downfall of Umbrella.

Possibly justified in that while the events were public, the depth of the US government's involvement with Umbrella (up to being a client of theirs) was covered up.

** Needless to say, [[Videogame/ResidentEvil2 Raccoon City]] is mentioned numerous times throughout the series.
** Leon's mission in ''[[Videogame/ResidentEvil4 4]]'' is mentioned during the first episode. In President Graham's office, there's family photos of him and Ashley together.
** There's a few call backs to ''Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration'' especially during the final episode. The final battle takes place in a cylindrical facility that self-destructs in the presence of an outbreak, the main villain is a tragic hero who mutates to uncover the dark past of B.O.W. use that the female lead tries to reason with [[spoiler:though it goes far worse here]], and the diverging paths of Claire and Leon is discussed once again, if more bitter this time.

* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:By choosing not to hand Jun-See's chip over to Claire and reveal how deep Wilson's crimes are in order to prevent public panic and keeping the false illusion of peace, Leon's actions have made him similar to that of Derek Simmons, whom also kept the US' dealings with Umbrella a secret, and a contrast to what future President Benford would eventually do]].

* FalseFlagOperation: [[spoiler:Secretary Wilson started a hacking attempt, a biohazard in the White House and sabotaged a US Navy submarine to [[PretextForWar provoke President Graham into declaring war against the People's Republic of China]] in order to [[WarForFunAndProfit earn a fortune from selling bioweapons]] and weaken one of the US's most powerful rivals for global political supremacy.]]
* GovernmentConspiracy: In true Resident Evil fashion. [[spoiler: Secretary Wilson has been working in cooperation with TRICELL to develop B.O.W.s and an inhibitor for infected people. Penamstan served as a testing grounds for those bio-weapons and, when Jason's unit became infected, Wilson blackmailed them to perform covert operations for him in exchange for the inhibitors to prevent them from turning into B.O.W.s. This allowed Wilson to rise through the ranks of government while gaining wealth, and he now plans to frame China for a series of attacks on the US so as to provoke an all-out war between the US and China that will result in B.O.W.s being deployed to the field, thus making him richer.]]

* MeaningfulEcho: Early in Episode 1, when Claire and Leon first reunite, Claire gives Leon a friendly jab, saying that his fancy government agent attire "doesn't suit you." [[spoiler:At the end of the final episode, after Leon refuses to give Claire the evidence from Jun See's chip, Claire delivers the same line only much more coldly. Considering this is chronologically Leon and Claire's last known interaction in the series, the barb stings far more the second time.]]
* OffhandBackhand: Well, more of an "offhand backshot" but Leon does this in the first episode to a zombie while he casually guns down two other zombies during the White House zombie outbreak.
