However, he refused to kill Dai Shi and instead allowed the evil dragon to slay him. Apart from Casey, no one appeared to notice that Jarrod was speaking in his own voice and not Dai Shi's.īelieving that Jarrod had redeemed himself by this unusual act of kindness to Camille, Casey confronted Jarrod alone in Dai Shi's castle and defeated him in a grueling fight.
Jarrod, aware of the plot, manages to gain enough control to confront the three Phantom Beast warriors and kills both Osiris and Sonimax to Casey's surprise, who had heard and was observing the fight. He first shows signs of resistance by sparing Whiger instead of killing the on the spot much to concern of everyone present, then later thanks Camille for staying by his side, causing her, Dai Shi, Scorch and Snapper much alarm, the generals deducing that Camille is unintentionally drawing out Jarrod's spirit and have Osiris, Sonimax and Lepus try to kill Camille for her "betrayal". However, Dai Shi located Jarrod and possessed him for his strength, knowing that he was weak in spirit and would be helpless to resist.Įventually Jarrod begins to fight back against Dai Shi, having never wanted to hurt anyone. Jarrod eventually confronted Mao in Dai Shi's cavern and challenged his master in the ensuing struggle, he accidentally tipped over the box holding Dai Shi's spirit before fleeing after realizing what he had done. But when he showed himself to bully others and misuse his powers, Mao decided on selecting Casey Rhodes, much to Jarrod's anger as he stormed off. Jarrod was to be one of the three guardians alongside Theo Martin and Lily Chilman to hold the position of guarding the chest holding the evil known as Dai Shi. Sometime after that, he either heard about the nearby Pai Zhuq school or was approached personally by it's leader Master Mao and ended up joining it to learn to harness his Lion Animal Spirit for 10 years. Having had enough however, Jarrod became so enraged that he unleashed a giant energy wave from his body that sent them flying (said energy wave proving to be the Lion Animal Spirit). Eventually, they cornered him in a playground and beat the living biscuits out of him. Then when he moved to the city of Ocean Bluff who was so alone, that he became the victim of intense bullying by five fellow kids. He would stay at a neighbor's house whenever his very busy parents aren't home. Jarrod was initially a normal child in a farm.
