Jake (ジェイク, Jeiku?) was an orphan from the Grand Valley orphanage who was later transferred to Goldy Pond to become prey for the Poachers to hunt. He, along with his sister Monica, were killed by Leuvis in one of the hunts.

History[]

Jake, Monica and Theo's shipment.

Jake was born and raised at Grand Valley orphanage, growing up alongside several other children. At some point, he was shipped out and sent to Goldy Pond to become prey for the Poachers to hunt along with his brother, Theo and sister, Monica.

Appearance[]

Jake was a tall and burly teenage boy. He had a rather large nose and short, messy blonde hair. His Grand Valley identification number is tattooed across his upper chest. He wore a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and white pants along with brown boots.

Personality[]

Not much was known about Jake's personality, but he was shown to be rather cowardly and easily intimidated by the demons- to the point of making the decision to abandon Monica and Theo. This shows the lack of trust between him and his two friends as he attempted to double-cross them and escape. But he appeared to care about their well-being a lot. This was shown when he, Theo and Monica were being chased by Leuvis when Jake saw no other choice but to offer his own life to give his friends time to escape.

Plot[]

Search For Minerva Arc[]

Jake, Monica, and Theo were first introduced in Goldy Pond,[1] in which they were going through their first encounter with the Poachers Jake was planning on abandoning his friends until Emma swung an axe at the Poachers and told the orphans to run.

 After reaching safer grounds, Jake and the others briefly introduced themselves to Emma. They were told to tell the monsters to come after her if they were to be killed, and then they split up, with Jake, Theo, and Monica heading downwind of where they were.

Leuvis expected the children to head downwind and tried to kill Theo but this time Jake protected him and got himself killed in the process. Theo and Monica fled the scene but Leuvis caught up to them soon and killed her on the spot, leaving Theo behind, devastated.[2]

Relationships[]

Theo and Monica[]

Jake appeared to be quite close to his siblings, as he is assumed to be working with them to defend themselves from the poachers. However, during desperate measures, when Theo and Monica were on the verge of getting caught by the poachers, Jake hesitated and decided to abandon his group and escape. His plan backfired, as the poachers were aware of his whereabouts and threatened to take either his or one of his sibling's life. But in the end, Jake sacrificed his own life for the sake of his siblings, proving his loyalty and friendship at the most crucial time.

Emma[]

When Jake and Emma first met, Jake, appeared to be rather skeptical towards her, as he does not seem to trust Emma when she tried to befriend them. Nevertheless, he was still willing to exchange names with her.

Skills and Abilities[]

Weapons[]

When Jake (along with Monica and Theo) tried to defend themselves from the poachers, the weapon that he possessed is an axe.

Trivia[]

  • The following are Jake's rankings in some of The Promised Neverland's official popularity polls.
    • In Shounen Jump's popularity poll results announced in Chapter 88, Jake is in 46th place.
    • In Shounen Jump's 2nd popularity poll results announced in Chapter 102, Jake is in 42nd place.
  • Similar to Conny's death in Chapter 1, Jake and Monica's death in Chapter 68 was meant to convey a sense of extreme danger and urgency to escape.[3]
  • Even though he only appeared in a few chapters, Jake was one of Sugita's favorite characters.[3]
  • In Shirai's first draft, Jake was the only one who died. But it would be incomplete if Monica survived. Shirai wanted to draw out the reader's empathy by making Theo the only survivor.[3]
