| Jarrod's childhood
was tough with his family never really being around for him. Years
later when he was at Pai Zhuq, that loneliness allowed Jarrod to become
a mean-spirited bully, even though he possessed the Spirit of the
Lion. After Master Mao kicked Jarrod out of the school was his
cruel actions, Jarrod still wanted to fight to prove himself.
Jarrod fought Master Mao in the Forbidden Room, and in the battle,
allowed Dai Shi to escape from his containment.
Realizing he was no match against what he
had unleashed, Jarrod quickly gathered his belongings and started to
run. But he could not run from Dai Shi. The evil spirit
selected Jarrod as his human host, and used his body to carry out his
evil plans. Dai Shi used Jarrod's Lion Spirit, Powers and Warrior
Mode to inflict evil wherever he went.
But finally, Jarrod started to fight
back. The young warrior realized his errors and no longer wanted
Dai Shi inside him. Jarrod was even able to gain control long
enough to save Camille from begin destroy by three Phantom Beast
Warriors; something Dai Shi would not have done.
Dai Shi was much too powerful and soon
regained full control of Jarrod. But Casey had seen Jarrod save
Camille, allowing him to see that Jarrod was still inside trying to
fight to get free. Casey went to the Dai Shi temple and battled
Dai Shi. After he had beaten him, Casey refused to destroy Jarrod,
instead saying that if Dai Shi was really in control, then he'll destroy
Casey.
When Casey turned his back to wait, Dai
Shi started to attack, but Jarrod stopped. Jarrod was finally able
to cast the spirit of Dai Shi out of his body, thanks to the kindness
and friendship Casey had shown him. When Dai Shi started attacked
Jarrod, Camille came to help Jarrod, only to end up being attacked too.
Casey saved them both with the power of
his Tiger Spirit. Once they escape from the temple, the Rangers
then fought alongside Jarrod & Camille, to take down Scorch &
Snapper.
But after the battle with Scorch was
over, Jarrod still felt great guilt for all the evil he had done as Dai
Shi. He left and went to the Forbidden Room at the Pai Zhuq
school, with Camille following him. Jarrod believed that his
actions were unforgivable, and that he should never use his Lion Spirit
again. But Camille, Casey, Theo & Lily tried to make him
realize that it was never too late to start over with a new beginning.
As the Rangers were battling Dai Shi's
true Dragon Form, Camille in her Chameleon Warrior form came to help the
Rangers. But she wasn't strong enough to hold off Dai Shi.
Jarrod was though. Jarrod showed up ready to fight the evil that
had taken advantage of him for so long. Jarrod morphed into his
Lion Warrior form, jumped inside of Dai Shi and began attacking
him. This weakened the dark beast long enough for Casey, Lily
& Theo to unleash their greatest attack, thus destroying Dai Shi for
good.
With the battle over, Jarrod returned to
Pai Zhuq, with Camille, and enrolled in a Beginners course, taught by
the new Master Teacher Casey.
