edit_summary: Major fixup
diff.text: '''Jedite''' (ジェダイト or “Jedaito [Romanisation]”), as spelt in the North American version of the anime was the first of the four [[Shitennou]] (four “heavenly” kings or generals in the dubbed North America version of the anime) from the [[Negaverse|Dark Kingdom (Negaverse)]] to appear in the first (classic) season of Sailor Moon and the manga. 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" - Dies Nox Et Omnia (Jadeite)]</ref>. [[Naoko Takeuchi]] in her ''Materials Collection'' Art Book described him as being the second youngest [[Shitennou]] with an age of 18 years <ref name ="materials">{{cite book |last= Takeuchi |first= Naoko |authorlink = Naoko Takeuchi | title= Materials Collection |publisher= [[Kodansha]] |year= 1999 |month= October |isbn= 4-06-324521-7}}</ref>. The manga series depict him as being 24 years of age <ref>URL="[http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/threads/DiesNoxEtOmnia/jadeite.html" - Dies Nox Et Omnia (Jadeite)]</ref> whilst Jadeite is shown as the youngest of the [[Shitennou]] in the live-action series. His name is derived from the mineral [[wikipedia:Jadeite|Jadeite]] and his name in the manga and the Japanese version of the anime was also spelt Jadeite. 
diff.text: Jadeite was originally tasked with locating the Silver Crystal but changes to stealing human energy to awaken [[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://images.wikia.com/common/releases_200910.3/extensions/wikia/Wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=wpTextbox1&Toolbar=Default&city=537&cb=14066 [Negaverse|Dark Kingdom (Negaverse)]]'s "Far Eastern division <ref>url="[http://www.soul-hunter.com/sailormoon/profiles/villains/jadeite.php" - The Oracle (Jadeite)]</ref>". He has very little interaction with the other [[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 at which point he dies and is transformed into the soft jade jadeite! Nephrite preserves his skeleton and vows to take revenge for his fallen comrade <ref>url="[http://www.soul-hunter.com/sailormoon/profiles/villains/jadeite.php" - The Oracle (Jadeite)]</ref>. In the later side story ''Casablanca Memories'', [[Zoisite]] also tries to avenge Jadeite.
diff.text: Neither the manga nor the anime adequately developed his character as very little reference was made about his past. The only reference made to his past includes Jadeite collaborating with an old acquaintance named [[Titus]]. Titus was one of [[Queen Beryl]]’s best youma’s who volunteered herself in episode 12 titled "Cruise Blues". Initially reluctant, Jadeite accepts her “romantic cruise strategy”, after the thought appealed to him. [[Titus]], under the supervision of Jadeite, implements the scheme hoping to drain the love energy from couples on board the cruise ship <ref>[http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/threads/DiesNoxEtOmnia/jadeite.html - Dies Nox Et Omnia (Jadeite)] </ref>. But this plan is foiled by [[Sailor Moon]], [[Sailor Mercury]] and [[Sailor Mars]] who were also on board the ship and destroyed [[Titus]] just like any other [[youma]]. Upon reporting back to [[Queen Beryl]], Jadeite was grilled for the use of her best [[youma]] [[Titus]] and punished him with an ultimatum: finally destroy [[Sailor Moon]], [[Sailor Mercury]] and [[Sailor Mars]] forever otherwise be condemned to eternal sleep (which was reputed to be worse than death itself <ref>[http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/threads/DiesNoxEtOmnia/jadeite.html - Dies Nox Et Omnia (Jadeite)]</ref>. Desperate, Jadeite though an illusion in the sky; challenges [[Sailor Moon]], [[Sailor Mercury]] and [[Sailor Mars]] to a duel (in episode #13) at the main runway of Haneda Airport at one o’clock in the morning otherwise he would burn the city ( [[wikipedia:Tokyo|Tokyo]]) to the ground. [[Luna]] consults with [[Sailor Mars|Rei (Raye) Hino]], [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]] and [[Sailor Moon|Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]] over the perceived threat. [[Sailor Mars|Rei (Raye) Hino]] decides to accept Jadeite's duel while [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]] refuses believing that it may be a trap. Thinking it was a hoax the police play down the threat. However, the threat to burn the city to the ground cannot be ignored and as such the police station specialist assault teams at the airport. [[Sailor Moon|Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]] who was scared decides that the trio should not fight but later changes her mind and accepts the duel citing concerns over her school mates as they voice their interest in watching the upcoming fight. Jadeite dispensed of the police presence at the airport by using telekinesis to put the assault teams to sleep and replaced them with imitation assault teams made of mud. Upon arriving at the airport in a specially chartered monorail carriage, [[Sailor Mars|Rei (Raye) Hino]], [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]] and [[Sailor Moon|Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]] are chased by the fake police assault teams to the main runway where the trio transform into [[Sailor Moon]], [[Sailor Mercury]] and [[Sailor Mars]] and dispose of the fake police assault teams with her Fire Soul (Mars Fire Ignite) attack. After witnessing the trio transform Jadeite learned of their true identities and begins his battle by again using telekinesis to control nearby 747 jumbo jets to chase after [[Sailor Moon]], [[Sailor Mercury]] and [[Sailor Mars]]. [[Sailor Mars]] tries to use her Fire Soul (Mars Fire Ignite) attack but is prevented by [[Luna]] given the huge damage that would result if either 747 jumbo jet is destroyed. The nearby 747 jumbo jet continue to chase after the trio, until [[Tuxedo Mask]] arrives and fights with Jadeite, who supposedly killed [[Tuxedo Mask]] (he was later shown to have survived). Jadeite made the 747 jumbo jets chase after the trio again, but they devised a plan. [[Sailor Moon]] got one of the jets to chase after her while [[Sailor Mercury]] used her Sabão Spray (Mercury bubbles) attack to obscure Jadeite’s vision. While the other jet chased her, [[Sailor Mars]] used an anti evil scroll attack on Jadeite, which caused the two jets to chase him instead. Just as [[Sailor Moon]] tries to finish Jadeite off with her tiara, he dodges it and appears to be teleported back to [[Queen Beryl]] before either 747 jumbo jet could flatten him.  He tried to tell her that he had found out the true identities of [[Sailor Moon]], [[Sailor Mercury]] and [[Sailor Mars]] but angered over his failed duel, she locks him into “Eternal Sleep”. Encased in a crystal and forever teleported away towards profound darkness, he is never seen again <ref>[http://maxpages.com/negamoonzone/Shrine_of_the_NegaVerse - Prince Diamond's NegaMoon Zone]</ref><ref>[http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lovelydarkness_darkkingdom/LovelyDarkness.html - Lovely Darkness a Dark Kingdom Web Site (Jadeite)]</ref><ref>[http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/threads/DiesNoxEtOmnia/jadeite.html - Dies Nox Et Omnia (Jadeite)]</ref> apart from flashbacks of him being present in the epic battle between [[Queen Serenity]] and [[Queen Beryl]] of the [[Negaverse]] invading the [[Moon Kingdom]] (in future episodes of the anime) during the Silver Millennium <ref>URL="[http://sailorwar.net/anime_chara_jadeite.html" - Sailorwar.net (Jadeite)]</ref> and in episode #58 when an actor playing his role in a Sailor Moon show fell victim to the cardian [[Four Face]] who attacked him and everyone else watching the show.  His punishment served as a warning to the other [[youma]]’s and allies of the [[Negaverse]]. [[Queen Beryl]] then promotes the next [[shitennou]] [[Neflite]] as his successor.
diff.text: Of all the [[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 [[Shitennou]]'' ''to appear and he was totally subservient to [[Queen Beryl]], for which she rewards him with her favour, sending him on missions that range from gathering energy using [[Negaverse monster|youmas]] <ref>url="[http://www.soul-hunter.com/sailormoon/profiles/villains/jadeite.php" - The Oracle (Jadeite)]</ref>, to spying on his fellow warriors as well as to attacking the Senshi directly.

Fortunately, he is revived some time later in Act 16 by the growing power of [[Negaforce|Queen Metalia (Negaforce)]]. Firmly loyal to [[Queen Beryl]], he rejects Prince Endymion as his true master until the very last episode of the series. <ref>[[wikipedia:Jadeite|Jadeite]]</ref>.
diff.text: *Jadeite who was posing as the captain of the "romantic" cruise ship in the 12th episode acts nice to [[Sailor Moon (character)|Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]].

Many websites incorrectly assumed such a feeling as love and as such wrongly assert that Jadeite had nearly “fell for her”.
