Resident Evil's Leon and Ada Have a Son? 'Love and Deepspace' Character Li Shen Becomes Fan-Canon Kennedy Descendant

The relationship between "Resident Evil" (Biohazard) series characters Leon and Ada Wong has been a hot topic among fans for years. Now, the community is buzzing again – fans have "decided" the two have a son, and this character surprisingly hails from the romance game "Love and Deepspace."

The character "adopted" by fans is "Love and Deepspace" heartthrob Li Shen. Originally one of the game's main romance options, his recent resemblance in looks and demeanor to Leon and Ada has led players to jokingly dub him their child. He's even been given the new fan-canon identity of "Li Shen Wong-Kennedy," which has rapidly spread across social media.

Over on Reddit, a post declared, "Resident Evil fans have adopted Li Shen." The post racked up nearly 4,000 likes, with one user commenting, "If you told me Li Shen was Leon and Ada's kid, I'd believe it. That brooding face is just too similar."

What's more, players on X (formerly Twitter) have even analyzed the timeline: "Love and Deepspace" is set in 2048, and Li Shen was born in 2021. If Leon and Ada had a child that year, the timeline totally checks out, further fueling the popularity of this "fan-onical" theory.

As for his looks, fans point to Li Shen's signature black hair and cool demeanor, reminiscent of Ada, combined with Leon's charm and physique, making this playful theory even more convincing. Some players even joked that Li Shen's in-game role as a doctor who falls for his patient across time would probably give the straight-laced cop Leon a massive headache if he were truly his son.

This cross-franchise fan creation and discussion has blown up online. While it's definitely not official canon, it once again showcases the creativity and humor of gaming community culture. With memes and discussions still piling up, the "Li Shen is Leon and Ada's son" theory has become the hottest topic among players lately.
