Ada’s “Sacrifice”
Top 10 Unforgettable Resident Evil 2 Moments to Celebrate Its 20th Anniversary
Resident Evil 2 introduced some of the most pivotal characters in the series, including the sly Ada Wong. She initially appears as a random citizen who is looking for her Umbrella scientist boyfriend, John. While she might act as Leon’s partner for a good chunk of the game, you can’t really help but doubt her motives.
We later discover that she is actually a spy sent to collect a sample of the G-Virus, which makes sense since no one in their right mind would hang around Raccoon City. More importantly, though, is the fact that Ada lied and could pose a threat to Leon and Claire’s escape plan. In the end, she managed to prove her loyalty by “sacrificing” herself to give him a chance to escape from Mr. X. The scene also shapes the intimate, yet complex relationship these two characters share in the later games.
