He is considered to be the weakest of all the ''[[Shitennou]]'' given his low rank (last of all the ''[[Shitennou]]'' despite being older than [[Zoycite]], who is one rank above him) and the belief that he got by on his looks<ref>URL="http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/threads/DiesNoxEtOmnia/jadeite.html"</ref>.
