However, instead of the encouragement Mako receives, Jake is admonished for falling short of Mako's perceived excellence. Jake competes against Mako in everything they do together, driven to beat her in order to gain his father's approval. He calls Jake "spoiled" because he still has everything, unlike Mako, who lost her entire family in Onibaba attack. At seven years old, Stacker expects Jakes to "look after" a thirteen year old Mako as he adjusts to living with her adoptive father, but wanted them to be friends. Mako's arrival into the Pentecost family creates a larger schism between Stacker and Jake. Angry, he tosses the action figure aside. Some time after his outburst, Jake finds a present and unwraps it only to find an action figure of his father and Coyote Tango. He tells his mother that he never wanted a birthday party to begin with. Jake makes a wish for his father be there for his birthday, but when he doesn't arrive, Jake becomes despondent and refuses to play with his friends. When the Category II Kaiju Onibaba attacks Tokyo, Jake celebrates his seventh birthday with his mother and friends. He later resents the image of Coyote Tango, the Jaeger his friends also favored. Jake quickly became tired of his friends idolization of his father. On account of his responsibilities to the Pan Pacific Defense Corps (as a Ranger), Stacker is rarely home to be with his son. Stacker's relationship with Jake is an estranged one. Jake Pentecost is the son of Stacker Pentecost, and a woman considered to be Stacker's "first love." Jake is raised in a stable home environment on account of his mother, and had many friends to play with as well.
