25 Facts about Jake Muller

[@Nathan-Croft]

Why Capcom always forgets about great characters like Jake, Carlos, Billy and Sheva?

[@Belala_Glockner]

... Rebecca, Sherry, Helena as welll

[@arthurmorgan43612]

Moira and Ashley too.

[@christyanreyes3953]

Pierce too

[@electricion712]

Characters that are paired up with the protagonist of each game usually do not make a return in a future titles, however, the reason why Jake didn’t make a return is most likely because the negative reception RE6 received. His secret ending made it very obvious that Capcom was planning to bring him back. It also didn’t help that most Resident Evil fans at the time hated him due to the fact he the only character in the game who can fight without guns.

[@ddxg3275]

​@@Belala_GlocknerRebecca and Shery don't count because they appeared in Re1 and 2 respectively so they already had multiple appearances

[@weskers_sunglasses]

„don’t hate your father“ I REALLY wanna know more about his mother because she seems to have been so close to Wesker

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

As close as Nero's mother was to Vergil. Just joking. Just two seperate cases of CAPCOM writing shit stories and never elaborating on the details of them. It's especially weird for Devil May Cry, because mother characters are the most important in all of Kamiya-written games and are constantly elaborated on, taking central stage in everything that is happening.

[@hipsterwriter]

There was a note that came from his mother if you play Ada campaign

[@weskers_sunglasses]

@@hipsterwriter I know, but I still won't Capcom to elaborate on their story more

[@weskers_sunglasses]

@@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253 yeah I feel you

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

@@weskers_sunglasses albeit I kinda overdid it with Kamiya’s stories always elaborating on mothers. Viewtiful Joe and Sol Cresta are more about fathers, rather then mothers. It’s parents in general. Only Okami doesn’t have much of a focus on parents, but rather those heroes who came before. Other then that - DMC, VJ, Okami, Bayonetta 1/2, The Wonderful 101, Sol Cresta - literally every game Kamiya wrote the story for have parental figures as central points of the story. It is ESPECIALLY crucial for The Wonderful 101, where parents’ demise is the single most motivational theme of actions of key figures in the story. Holy shit is TW101 absolutely amazing. Literally to a fault ! That ending, too ! 🫨 Kamiya made me a believer.

[@daneeulj]

I wish we knew more about his mom! Girl bagged Wesker, that’s wild.

[@BigSexyWizard]

I imagine wesker was a very Patrick Bateman style character in his youth

[@tas5686]

Jake and Sherry wound up being my favourite team of RE6 because of their great chemistry. I hope we see them together again.

[@1hinita]

Same! I lived for their story line. Next was Chris and pierce. I kinda hated the one with Leon and his partner. Her and her story line irked my nerves😅

[@JuniAku]

Wesker to Jake’s baby mama: “7 minutes is all I can spare.”

[@dakotalange2858]

Best 7 of her life 😂

[@jjenk911]

After adjusting heights, Wesker and Jake are both 6'3". Chris went from 5'11" to 6'1". Wesker went from 6'0" to 6'3"

[@ZebitasMartinex]

Fun Fact: The song Jake plays in the piano, is also the final boss theme of Catherine, whose main character was voiced by Troy Baker

[@boltthunder2061]

even if it was a scrapped costume i would have liked to see Jake dressed like Kanji one of troys other roles

[@Toro563]

​@@boltthunder2061I love persona 4

[@thesupanovasmokalive]

Exactly. Loved that game, the music was amazing. I loved the songs Roux and also Sprach Brooks. Full Body was excellent too, it remade but also gave some really great new content.

[@sufyaanbulbulia4455]

I know not a lot of people liked re6 but i really want to see jake and sherry return in another game their chemistry was great

[@monkeybone1080]

Jake has always been a fav of mine, he's like the chilled out Wesker complete with shades at the end of the game lol. I've been saying for years that Capcom should make Revelations 3 starring Jake and Sherry as their relationship was one of the few highlights of RE6, and I'd love to see more of it.

[@RaineyKeyks]

I couldn't agree more omg

[@Deadflower20xx]

Jake is too damn cool to be locked in one game, I really hope they capitalize on him either in a new game or future RE6 remake, since we know that's inevitable lol. I'd take Jake Sherry or Billy, they all just deserve so much more.

[@GTKavanagh]

Hot Take?? I actually love RE6. I remember getting the Steelbook as a present on Xbox360 the year it came out and I think I played it on loop for nearly a year. Jake is really cool and I'd love to see him come back to the franchise someday. I really hoped his Secret Ending meant that he'd become the new primary protagonist for the Next game in the series at the time. Still super grateful for the two Ethan games we got though.

[@mohdadeeb1829]

Overhated game. I enjoyed it a lot more than 5. And this game was super scary.

[@nostalgiagameplay3933]

Because Jake is Wesker's son, Jake inherited Wesker intelligence but i think more advance than Wesker, maybe this explain why he can learn Mandarin in short period time and speak fluently and playing classical music that very complex

[@ReviewersGuildArSR]

I hope we see Jake again in a future RE installment.

[@KNIGHTMARE__]

I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time! Jake is my 2nd favorite RE character and he’s so underrated. Here’s some other random facts about him - In the mobile game “Minna To Biohazard Team Survive” there was a version of Jake with Wesker’s powers and Wesker’s RE5 clothes - In concept art there were names for each campaign and Jake’s was called “Escape and Romance” - Jake was featured in a Resident Evil collaboration for a game called “Castle & Dragon” - It’s never confirmed but it’s implied Jake’s scar was from the solider that attacked him with a Knife in South America - Jake had his own drink called “Jake de Shake” at the Capcom Bar’s RE6 event. There was also a Jake can badge you could get randomly from ordering a drink from the event. - His Japanese VA is Daisuke Namikawa who is known for voicing Yu Narukami, Narciso Anasui, Hisoka Morow and many other famous anime characters.

[@summerwintermelon]

I really liked Jake and Piers. They had so much potential.

[@cassandrabrooks5185]

Ikr. Chris Jr vs Wesker Jr. Capcom really messed this up. 😒

[@lawresk]

Jake is my personal fav of the RE series, and that makes seeing Capcom forget all about him in games and animations (and even in that Netflix catastrophe that technicaly was about Wasker's children) hurt my heart a bit.

[@mikemidwood9661]

I wonder if Jake would believe Chris if he went into detail about the circumstances of Wesker's death😂

[@lisacastro3899]

This is something I really wish they fleshed out in RE6. They had the opportunity to do so, especially after Chris admits to killing Wesker lol I am still mad at Capcom for fumbling the ball. But who knows if they'll elaborate in the future lol I don't think Jake will be very happy then lol

[@pyroskar6797]

Jake, I saw this massive boulder so I started punching it

[@mohdadeeb1829]

​@@pyroskar6797Why Jake never changed his surname to Wesker.

[@Manhunt811]

@@mohdadeeb1829because why should he?

[@jamarugaming9018]

Re7 shoulda had Jake take over as main protagonist imo. I remember being so bummed they never did anything with that secret ending.

[@rometherevenant8749]

Wish we saw more of Jake. I love his character and his dynamic with Sherry

[@roastpork5437]

I do like Jake a lot! I feel he has a lot of potential. I hope to see him again in future RE games. It needs younger cast since the OG cast is getting older.

[@raicrush]

While Jake might be a cliche character, I actually really liked him and I wish his character wasn’t dropped so quickly. I liked his character arc and relationship with Sherry!

[@DarkAttackYT]

I think Jake's campaign is the best in RE6. Mainly because he and Sherry have such an soulful chemistry, considering both are the children of the most significant employees of Umbrella, Wesker and Birkin, and their campaign does decent job at balancing action and horror. In my opinion, RE6 should have been just about them.

[@ajelsanchez9151]

To think he is voiced by Troy Baker is unreal to me. Jake Muller is a must to return to the RE franchise hopefully with Sherry in the future*fingers crossed* in RE9 or RE10.

[@RhinoWick]

IMO jake has the highest ceiling out the good characters jake was only 19-20 years old in RE6. The crazy part about jake I don’t think he has unlocked his full abilities/powers yet that alone is scary.

[@ComicDubbers]

We need to see jake again soon! Wtf is capcom doing when we litterly have WESKER's son roaming free in the world. He may not be his father but that doesn't mean that the world is just going to ignore it. Even if all the information about him was erased, there still might be some dangerous people who want to take advantage of his blood or DNA. They could easily make a new story worth playing or watching but they just keep ignoring them.

[@josheeee9139]

I still love this game and Jake is an interesting aspect of it at least in my opinion

[@akina_gamesyt]

Can you do 25 facts about Piers Nivans?

[@LeonVP70]

I personally love RE6, I have my issues with it but overall loved the story and gameplay/controls are the best in series IMO

[@Touching_Zone]

My friend occasionally gets angry that Jake never returned as a main character of a future game and I wish Capcom would continue Re6's storyline instead of ignoring it.

[@VolatileViolet]

In the concept art where he has longer hair, in the panel at the top right at 5:19, he looks like the spitting image of Liquid. I guess it's a neat bonus, seeing as Ocelot is also voiced by Troy Baker.

[@diyma3462]

I wish they added jakes longer hair as a costume

[@NOIDEDU]

I liked the secret ending a lot and I wished capcom would have given us a another game in the style of 6 with jack but better

[@wesly1233]

[@soulreaver1983]

Many thanks as always for another outstanding video!😎👍

[@DeanBrosOfficial]

I'll be one of the few to say it. I don't get why people hate Jake. Should he have been introduced in a better game with better writing? maybe, but he is still a fun written character. nothing to hate other than a fanboy saying, "BUT HE ISNT WESKER". I really never found anybody ever really give this character a chance and thats what's sad, because since the game was so universally hated, I don't think we will EVER see Jake in a future installment.

[@patrickmurphy9470]

Didn’t Jake and Sherry kinda have feelings for each other? If they had a child together imagine the powers he or she would have?

[@untitledpleb]

Oh no..

[@LongTran-kp3kz]

Jake also shares a LOT of parallels with Nero from DMC's Nero. Superpowered offspring of villainous dads who themselves have to save the world who are more like anti-heroes at the start along with being deadpan snarkers and battle junkies. Oh, Jake is the only known case of a resident evil character with legitimately superhuman abilities who was born with them naturally. Sure they're a lower tier than Wesker's were, but there's no denying his superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and reflexes... to say nothing of his intelligence. I mean, the guy was able to learn Chinese just from listening to it.... in bits and pieces. also, let's not forget he beat down the Ustanak in a one on one fight. Say what you want, and I blame the game for giving us too damn much, but the Ustanak was honestly really damn impressive. Human level intelligence, nigh invulnerable, can use heavy weapons, won't stop until it's either dead or complete its mission, and out does either Nemesis or Mr. X by sheer virtue of chasing you across whole countries. International borders don't mean shit to a beast that is pretty much the peak of stalker monster. Oh, and he was so damn well designed as a Bow that he doesn't even mutate once in the whole game despite the C-virus being notoriously unpredictable and random. Honestly, if this thing had been unleashed on Jill and Leon back during RE2, I honestly don't think either of them would've have survived for too long since well, it can plan and is also just as ridiculously tough as either Mr. X or Nemesis.... Honestly? I'd would've put a lot of money into developing more of those and less mutate happy J'avo to put onto the weapons market... Imagine jsut 2 or 3 Ustanaks running around a battlefield with their heavy machine guns supported by armoerd J'avo troops... Toss in a few tweaked Hunters and damn... end of the world.

[@solid_fire9388]

i remember that i was looking forward to see Jake in a new RE title along with Sherry, but that didn’t happen… great stuff Kai 😊

Can you do one on Krauser? Love the vids!

[@davidbailey6917]

I wonder if the Rachael Foley would get a facts video someday!

[@Unda_Maris]

Thanks you for this video! It's really informative. Capcom created so many amazing characters but used they in the storyline for one time, it's so sad. Bring him back, please...

[@markelpaige2268]

Dude needs his own game dude was dope in RE6… he needs a game about his past & future with sherry they both were getting experimented on and him learning more about wesker

[@californiaman4000]

I like Jake since RE6. Hope to see him again in future Resident Evil games, Marvel vs Capcom games, and Resident Evil animated movies.

[@default360]

You should do facts on krauser

[@rjhick1]

One of the most underutilized character that somehow could have had the biggest impact on the storyline

[@AnxMa]

Sorry, a bit of a side track about the recent Hollywood strike. I had an experience with Motion Capture and voice acting and have to say even though gaming industry is a colossus these days, voice over actors and mo cap performers are not fully considered 'equal' talent as traditional actors. What's really interesting right now is that the mainstream, 'regular' actors demand royalties for their digital likeness when it's used on new projects they are not technically involved with. Something MoCap actors could relate to...I guess the movie studios figured that their 'creative accounting' and sometimes cruel contracts/ NDA's would go unnoticed into this new era of streaming. They were wrong, preparation is everything and they were completely ill prepared for this new platform of entertainment. PS. You almost saw me as Leon in the new Resident Evil games :)

[@InkRibbon]

Having bought and worn a mocap suit, I agree. It's definitely a skill and without those skills... it's just a suit. In Tomb Raider Underworld it took three mocap actors to cover all of Lara Crofts moves and abilities! I wonder if the attitude is similar towards stuntmen?

[@AnxMa]

@@InkRibbon That is a very good point. Thank you for this feedback. A motion capture session these days is very demanding. I could compare it to a traditional theater; a performer has to create most of the surroundings in mind as well as react in real time to the plot and exposition.

[@justinedc1077]

I always like Jake as a character. I like the concept of a non-evil Wesker character.

[@Gamer2kplays]

3:20 twinkle little star 3:36

[@PlayfulFruitLPer]

Resident Evil 6 was all about interesting dynamics. You had Chris and Piers, with Chris taking on the captain role instead of rookie. Trying to save Piers in the end unlike Wesker who tried to kill Chris. Then you have Sherry and Jake, with Sherry being a helpless victim in the Raccoon City incident and going on to be one of the only people ABLE to save the world. How she and Jake team up how their fathers, William and Wesker did, not to harm the world, but to help it. Jake wound up being the exact opposite of Wesker.

[@jacobhoff5070]

I like that sherry and jake are partners like thier parents were just for the opposite reasons

This has become one of my fave RE titles and while I initially disliked Jake I grew to really like him. I hope to see more of him, Helena, and Sherry instead of what we now have with Ethan Winters who I really don't like and I really really don't like the switch to supernatural horror away from BOW's.

[@renamon5658]

[@Knightfaller]

Fact 26. The 50 Million Dollars price tag and the Chris confrontation in chapter 5 (for Chris' and Jake's campaign) are references to Batman: Arkham Origins, The 50 Million dollar price is the same amount the assassins hired by Joker to kill the Batman for, and the confrontation is an alteration of the final confrontation in Blackgate church of Batman and Joker, as Troy Baker (Jake/Joker) and Roger Craig Smith (Chris/Batman) are the main characters for those scenes
