  '''Jedite '''(ジェダイト or “Jedaito [Romanisation]”), as spelt in the North American dub of the anime was the first [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Shitennou Shitennou ](four “heavenly” kings or generals in the North American dub of the anime) from the [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaverse Dark Kingdom] to appear in the first (classic) season of ''Sailor Moon'' and the manga. He is considered to be the weakest of all the [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Shitennou Shitennou ]given his low rank (last of all the Shitennou despite being older than Zoisite, who is one rank above him) and the belief that he got by on his looks. Naoko Takeuchiin her ''Materials Collection Art Book'' described him as being the second youngest [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Shitennou Shitennou ]with an age of 18 years. The manga series depict him as being 24 years of age whilst Jadeite is shown as the youngest of the [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Shitennou Shitennou ]in the live-action series. His name is derived from the mineral jadeite and his name in the manga and the Japanese version of the anime was also spelt Jadeite. 
  
  Jadeite's voice for the original anime was provided by Masaya Onosaka and in the English dub by Tony Daniels. In the live-action series he was portrayed by Jun Masuo, and two people have played him in the stage musicals: Susumu Futabashi and Yuhka Asami (an actress). 
  
  == In the manga==
  
  Jadeite was originally tasked with locating the Silver Crystal but changes to stealing human energy to awaken&nbsp; [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaforce Queen Metalia (Negaforce)]. Despite appearing in the first act, his name is not revealed until the second act where he also declares himself as the commander of the [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaverse Dark Kingdom]'s "Far Eastern division". He has very little interaction with the other [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Shitennou Shitennou ], only briefly being seen with (and mocked by) Nephrite. He expresses an attraction to Sailor Mars and is eventually killed by her anti-evil scrolls, at which point Nephrite preserves his skeleton and vows to take revenge for his fallen comrade. In the later sidestory ''Casablanca Memories'', Zoisite also tries to avenge Jadeite.[[File:C_jadeite.jpg|thumb|Image of Jadeite from the manga]]
  
  == In the anime ==
  
  In the anime he was portrayed as more of a weak individual driven only on hate and greed. This hate appeared to have manifested into his character being sexist against women, often remarking how women and girls cannot match his power nor comprehend his methods, although this is toned down in the English dub and replaced with a more general rivalry between himself and the Sailor Senshi. In the anime, Jadeite was primarily focused in harvesting human energy to awaken the ruler of the Negaverse [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaforce Queen Metalia (Negaforce)]. When plotting for a method to steal human energy, Jadeite would observe the behaviour of humans and then report back to the [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaverse Dark Kingdom] appearing in front of [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Queen_Beryl Queen Bery]l to explain his plans. Once approval was sought from [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Queen_Beryl Queen Beryl], he would dispatch his servant i.e. a [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaverse_monster youma ]to take on a human disguise and with the aid of the youma start gathering energy from the humans. His method for gathering human energy would be to draw large crowds using his [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaverse_monster youma ]and trick them into buying goods charged with dark energy (e.g. jewellery, Chanelas, clocks, good luck charms or use services that stole human energy (e.g. “relaxation pods”, tarot cards and computer applications). From the beginning, Jadeite was fairly confident of himself, often taking a hands-on approach by physically being present in his plots. This could be due to his egotistical as he believed that no one can do the job right but himself. As a master of disguise, Jadeite would assume numerous human alter-egos and personae; masquerading as a radio host (J-Dite) in the third episode, a gym instructor in the fourth episode, an MC for a talent contest in the seventh episode, a shrine worker (Jed ) in the tenth episode, as well as a security guard at an amusement park in the eleventh episode. However, his pride got to him as he foolishly stole too much energy from humans and underestimated the strength of the sailor senshi who always foiled his plans and killed his [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaverse_monster youmas]. For every death of his [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaverse_monster youma], the stolen energy disappears as Jadeite is summoned to face [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Queen_Beryl Queen Beryl] for his failures. 
  
  Soon Jedite teamed up with a powerful [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaverse Dark Kingdom] [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaverse_monster youma] named [[Titus]] to drain love energy from people on a love cruise to go to the Negaverse, but this plan is foiled and Titus is killed. Queen Beryl issues Jedite an ultimatum: Defeat the Sailor Scouts or else she will punish him with Eternal Sleep, which will "condemn him for the most profound darkness forever. 
  
  Jedite told the Sailor Scouts through an illusion to go to the airport or else he would burn the city to the ground. When they arrived, he sent several monsters disguised as cops after them, but Sailor Mars destroyed them. Jedite then made the jets chase after the three Sailor Scouts, until Tuxedo Mask came and fought Jedite, who supposedly killed Tuxedo Mask (he was later shown to have survived). Jedite made the jets chase the Sailor Scouts again, but they devised a plan. Sailor Moon got one of the jets to chase after her while Sailor Mercury used the Mercury Bubbles to obscure Jedite's vision. While the other jet chased her, Sailor Mars used a Scroll Attack on Jedite, which caused the two jets to chase him instead. Sailor Moon used her tiara on Jedite, narrowly missing him, and he was run over by the jet. Upon his return to the Negaverse, he attempted to reveal the Sailor Scouts' true identities to [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Queen_Beryl Queen Beryl], but all she cared about was the fact that he failed, and she put him into an eternal frozen state and vanished him into endless darkness, thus condemning him to Eternal Sleep.
  
  == In Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon ==

  Of all the [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Shitennou Shitennou], Jadeite is the only one to retain his basic appearance and mannerisms in the live-action series (Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon). Again, he was the first Shittenou to appear and he was totally subservient to [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Queen_Beryl Queen Beryl], for which she rewards him with her favour, sending him on missions that range from gathering energy using youmas, to spying on his fellow warriors as well as to attacking the Senshi directly. He disappears early in the series (Act 9), with [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Queen_Beryl Queen Bery] congealing him into a hisui (jade) form due to an injury but is revived some time later in Act 16 by the growing power of [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Negaforce Queen Metalia (Negaforce)]. Firmly loyal to [http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Queen_Beryl Queen Bery], he rejects Prince Endymion as his true master until the very last episode of the series.
  In the first official Sailor Moon popularity poll, Jadeite was ranked the twentieth most popular character out of thirty eight choices.
  
  
  == Trivia  ==

  *In Episode 3 of the anime, Slim City, Jedite does not send a monster, but rather puts people in Relaxation Pods, draining their energy while turning them evil, but Sailor Moon shattered the devices with her tiara, returning them to normal.
