*This explains why in "Love Cruise" Huntsgirl -despite being serious- was unable to kill Jake, even when he was in human form. Since she didn't love him any more due to Cupid's arrows, she was no longer drawing on the power from their bond and essentially regressed back to her Season One level of strength until she was stabbed by the arrows again.

Whether the Huntsmaster intended to keep her in the Huntsclan by threatening her parents or just got rid of her, he felt it was appropriately amusing to give Rose the thing she had wanted for most of her life but now hated the very idea of. When Rose wished for the destruction of the Huntsclan, the Skulls interpreted her wish as only pertaining to those that had proven themselves to be full Huntsclan which usually pertains to killing a dragon, Rose's initiation being an exception but still binding. If her wish was to destroy anyone who had the Mark not only would 88 and 89 have disappeared but also all the students at the Academy and anyone who had the Mark the Huntsclan missed. Rose knew this when she made the wish and specifically asked for the destruction of "ALL Huntsclan!" to make sure only those who had blood on their hands were destroyed along with herself.

trope is renamed Prefers Going Barefoot. Dewicking old name


In Season One, we mostly see him with sandals. A few times we see him barefoot indoors. But in Season Two, he seems to go barefoot outdoors as well. That's another reason why he wears a robe, so no one can see [[DoesNotLikeShoes he doesn't wear shoes]]. His foot fungus seen in "Old School Training" is either the result of being barefoot or the reason why he goes barefoot.

During the second season, he never noticed that the dragon Rose supposedly slain at the Academy was, in fact, the American Dragon until #88 and #89 didn't flat-out tell him that, and was later convinced it wasn't when Rose brought Jake's moulted skin, without noticing any difference. Also, he somehow failed to notice that the American Dragon was identical to the Dragon that kicked him in a pit with a giant crab monster years earlier, triggering his deep hatred for dragons and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking deepening his then-highly pitched voice]] (thanks to a bit of TimeTravel). Either he's an idiot, or his sight is so low he's practically half-blind, and he will never wear glasses.

The first Huntsclan members (who probably weren't called the Huntsclan, but whatever) were human warriors that aided Dragons against evil magical creatures before TheMasquerade set in. They were gifted with power from the Dragon they partnered with in the form of a dragon-shaped birthmark that passed down through their bloodline and made them stronger when fighting with their chosen dragon (like Pactios in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi''). As the Magical World faded into hiding the humans felt abandoned by their partners and gradually turned into the Huntsclan; they still drew on the power of dragons through the trophies they took from them like the skull helmets all full Huntsclan members wear, though this was a weaker and perverted use of the relationship. They kept track of the bloodlines so they could steal infants like Rose when they manifested the mark, now sincerely believing it was their destiny to kill dragons instead of being partners with them. Rose's relationship with Jake reopened the original partnership and explains why she can handle multiple Huntsclan members and fight the Dark Dragon to a stand-still.

In an attempt to balance his duties the dragon that became the number one threat to the magical world tried to create a doppelganger to aid in his battles, only to fall victim to his negative half like Jake nearly did. Yang Jake had pretty much the same goals as the Dark Dragon and is literally darker than Jake or the other doppelgangers to boot. This may also be why the Dragon Council has no idea who he was, from their perspective the Dark Dragon just appeared one day and may not have resembled his old self at that point. And instead of the Dark Dragon bringing out Yang Jake again, why not Chang? As the Dark Dragon's [[TheDragon "dragon"]] she would the one most likely to know about his origin and would see Jake's evil side joining her as karmic repayment for him and Rose defeating the Dark Dragon.

[[WMG: A World Dragon has to be at least a second generation citizen of the country they protect.]]

Not because of the Council having rules that state this, but because being a magical protector requires that a being is born on the soil of said country. This is why Chang needed Jake's blood in "Being Human" to revive the Dark Dragon as he died on the soil of Jake's protectorate (quite literally, too, thanks to the Tooth Fairy.) This also explains why Jake and Fred Nerk are the newest members of the order as Australia and the United States are relatively young when it comes to most countries and may not have had a dragon population large enough for a World Dragon to be chosen.

[[WMG: [[PubertySuperpower Dragon powers usually emerge around puberty.]]]]

With rare examples like Haley quickly mastering her powers while in elementary school and Jake who started suffering PowerIncontinence as a pre-teen. If a dragon doesn't manifest before high school age, as shown with Susan, then they never develop their powers and only have the ability to pass on their DragonAncestry to their children. This is why dragons receive their training at such a young age as shown by "Dragon Summit" and its crowds of young teens; whether they become protectors or not, they still need to learn to control their powers lest they blow TheMasquerade.

[[WMG: Going with the above and the idea of Yang Jake joining the Dark Dragon, the Dark Dragon is the result of a negative-chi doppelganger absorbing the original dragon.]]

But not until Jake actually made the wish for Rose to have a happy life, which then altered the timeline retroactively as we see it in the previous episodes. To grant the wish without causing a paradox because of Rose being in the position of making ''her'' wish to destroy the Huntsclan the Aztec skulls split Rose in two (her "sister" being the one left behind by the Huntsclan because there was no birthmark) with one being take by the Huntsclan and one left behind as Rose saw in her dream. The Huntsclan!Rose was absorbed into Normal!Rose once Jake's wish was fulfilled which explains why she was able to remember Jake and her Huntsclan skills when fighting the Dark Dragon. WordOfGod says that season three would have addressed the issue of Rose's twin sister, but if Rose ''is'' her twin sister, maybe a split personality would have resulted from them sharing a body and an arc would have been trying to give Rose's temporal double a body of her own before she and Rose self-destructed, with the added bonus of "Thorn" having the more serious personality of pre-season one finale Huntsgirl in a case of SiblingYinYang.

SiblingYinYang. Inspired by the situation with [[spoiler: Jeremy Clockson and Lobsang Ludd]] in ''Literature/DiscWorld'', admittedly.

[[WMG: Sigmund Brock was funded by the Huntsclan.]]
They were the investors he mentioned as having to appease and the same people he spoke to on the phone. Out of all the dragons' enemies, they would be the ones to benefit the most from his dragon-revealing Brockium. The Huntsman could use the fear and hysteria from the reveal of magical creatures to make the Huntsclan seem like the heroes for hunting them. If this is true, then it means that ''Rotwood saved the magical world'' when he turned on Brock!

[[WMG: Due to Rose's wish, there were two of her co-existing in the same timeline.]]
