Which is canon, Leon or Claire?

In the original Resident Evil 2, the canon was generally accepted as Claire A and Leon B, but later games and the remakes have blurred this, suggesting both A/B and B/A routes contain canon elements, with the RE2 Remake leaning towards Claire A then Leon B based on details like the state of the police station. However, RE4 Remake introduces details (like Leon's knife) that suggest Leon's route happened first, making canon details inconsistent between games, and Capcom often picks and chooses elements from both for follow-ups.

Is Leon or Claire canon?

In the RE2 Remake, while both A/B paths still exist, the story leans towards Claire A/Leon B as the established canon due to later game references, though some details are slightly different.
