Of course, if you see his free time through to the end, you find out that maybe he does actually like baseball a little bit as he admits to Makoto that he misses it and kind of wants to play some more. So maybe he doesnt really hate baseball as much as he hates the routine surrounding baseball, but either way youre left with this character that doesnt fully embrace his ultimate ability and seems to sort of want to move on a little bit from what got him here. Maybe hed go back and play for his old team if he got out of there. Or maybe not. He seems conflicted a bit with who he is and what he wants to do, which honestly makes sense for a high school student at his age. I had forgotten most characters free time events and had to rewatch them recently when I was doing my full game rewatch. But Leons I actually remembered because I found it kind of interesting that he wasnt just blathering on about his ultimate ability and how cool it was. He actually felt like he had one of the most human reactions to being an ultimate and not knowing whether or not he should embrace it makes sense.

But thats really all there is to Leon. He is one of a couple characters you learn more about through free time and post game stuff than you do in the actual game. In the game itself, he is an afterthought. I mean, I dont hate Leon but I dont really think about Leon at all. Even the only thing he is really known for, being the first killer in the series, is more reactionary than anything else. I know Reg made a joke about main cast characters being ranked below literally who but I feel like Leon is almost as much as a literally who as any of the other literally who characters who have appeared on the list. He is the Ultimate Literally Who, a guy who comes and goes and leaves absolutely nothing behind besides Sayakas bloody corpse. You learn absolutely nothing about him. It feels like he barely makes a cameo appearance. Sure, hes main cast but hes really more main cast than actual main cast. If they had a main cast reunion, hed be the guy they force to stand outside and look at everyone else through the window because he clearly doesnt belong with anyone else. Ive listed a lot of characters Ive disliked, but I feel like Leon might be the only character nobody missed when he died.
