Heh, yep. Jayden wasn't expecting this group to be completely cool with some friendly PvP.

Okay i had thought manipulating a PvP would make Jayden completely beyond being redeemable but being asked to do it by Luke at least gets him a tiny bit of leeway.

No it doesn't. Did you see that "Huh?" Jayden was expecting the world to burn as he cackled internally. What he got was some firecrackers lit off with glee from the bystanders. And he didn't want that.

He's actually worse than I was expecting. Also, he's a jackass who deserved to be exploded by boogers. Please, don't ever let him live that one down.

Poor Phil, turned into that "If you forgot, then it wasn't important" meme.

And yeah, we kinda expected that Jayden's attempt to create discord with his "but who is stronger?" gambet would backfire, but it's still fun to see him realize it himself.

Jayden may have complicated the encounter, but he has lost the fight to create discord.

He's coming back as swan boy, isn't he? I can totally see him fake-allying like swan boy.

In the unfortunate event he returns, I expect Mr. 3 then Spandam.

Mr.3 is a antagonist from the get go (then a allie in Impel Down) so i expect him to be a NPC.
and i'm honestly don't expect Jayden to stick around until Enies Lobbie. (Except if Enies Lobbie is some sort of public event).
