Resident Evil: Damnation

Resident Evil: Damnation, known as Biohazard: Damnation (Japanese: バイオハザード ダムネーション, Hepburn: Baiohazādo Damunēshon) in Japan, is a 2012 Japanese adult animated biopunk action horror film directed by Makoto Kamiya and produced by Hiroyuki Kobayashi. It features the voices of Matthew Mercer, Dave Wittenberg, Wendee Lee, and Courtenay Taylor.

The story revolves around DSO agent Leon S. Kennedy as he investigates biological weapons used in a European civil war. Kamiya aimed to tell a more original story by moving away from the narrative of the series, and asked for Capcom's aid in regards to the handling of the characters to make them consistent with their video game counterparts.

Damnation premiered on October 27, 2012, in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It was commercially successful, grossing more than $2 million in Japan and more than $3 million in home media format in the US.

In 2011, DSO agent Leon S. Kennedy infiltrates the "Eastern Slav Republic", a former Soviet republic, to confirm rumors that Bio-Organic Weapons (BOWs) are being used in the country's civil war, and ignores the government's order to retreat. He comes across his contact, who has been attacked and is then killed by a strong BOW known as a Licker. After a brief skirmish, the Licker disappears, only to be replaced by a second. However, this Licker spares Leon, appearing to be controlled by a mysterious man. Leon is knocked out and awakens to find himself tied to a chair by rebel fighters; JD, the former teacher Alexander "Sasha" Kozachenko (better known as Buddy) and the elderly Ivan Judanovich, the group's Ataman.

Meanwhile, Eastern Slav Republic President Svetlana Belikova meets agent Ada Wong, who is posing as an agent of the Biohazard Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA). Ada explains a human infected with the “dominant” Las Plagas parasite will have a brief master-slave relationship with lesser BOWs infected with the Progenitor-virus (Lickers Beta themselves). Elsewhere, Leon tries to warn the soldiers of Ivan's infection, but Buddy starts a shoot-out. Leon escapes with the group, and Buddy mercy-kills Ivan after he succumbs to the Las Plagas parasite. Buddy meets up with JD, just as Plaga hosts (Ganados) attack them. JD and Leon escape to a church, where they regroup with other rebels.

Once inside the church, JD frees Leon. The rebel urges him to stop Buddy, who has become consumed by his hatred for the government after they bombed his school, killing Buddy’s fiancée and students in the process. Leon runs into Ada, who admits she is in the country to collect a sample of Las Plagas. She leaves and warns him the city will soon be bombed. Leon returns to the church, only to find it attacked by the infected, who killed the other rebels and infected JD. Buddy returns as JD transforms, and Leon is forced to kill JD. Leon then asks Buddy to give up Las Plagas, but he refuses and escapes when military jets bomb the church.

Having learned of Ada’s duplicity, Svetlana issues an international arrest warrant for the spy, and captures her after a hand-to-hand fight. Leon enters the bunker where Ada is held, and the two meet at the main hive control. When Svetlana and her troops surround them, Ada releases a smoke bomb and escapes while Leon kills several soldiers. Buddy arrives and summons Lickers to attack the troops. Svetlana retaliates by dispatching Tyrants to eliminate Leon, Buddy and the Lickers. After a long battle that takes them back to the surface, Buddy and Leon barely manage to defeat both Tyrants with a tank. Just as Svetlana prepares for her press conference, she is informed of a joint Russian and American invasion, which forces her to resign in her defeat and never to be seen again.

As Leon and Buddy watch the invasion, Buddy asks Leon to kill him before his Plaga takes control. Leon refuses, telling him to live to serve as the living memory of those who died and then shoots Buddy's spine, severing the Plaga's control over him. Afterwards, Leon speaks to Hunnigan about the mission, while elsewhere Ada speaks to her employer about a Las Plagas sample she retrieved. Ada does not make clear if she will hand it over or not, though she expresses appreciation for having her arrest warrant taken down.
