Lucina: Although they have not had any conflicts, Lucina usually keeps her distance from Jiro but will call him out or scold if he lowblows or is rude to her fellow teammates.

Sana: Sana has shown hostility towards Jiro by threatening Thistle on him, Jiro didn't show any care or worry about the threat. This shows a lack of respect and liking on both parties.

Amaeri: Amaeri has shown a lot that she doesn't like Jiro that much and has some hostility towards him on more than one occasion.

Eldrin: Jiro has shown of lack of respect for Eldrin, interrupting or insulting him which usually results in Amaeri stepping in. Regardless of this, Eldrin seems unbothered by Jiro's rudeness and has no problem teaching Jiro manners.

Keziah: Although Jiro had no problems saving Keziah from being kidnapped, he will act petty towards her and refers to her as 'the guardian who has to be saved'. Even though he finds her to be ungrateful for not even thanking him for the rescue, he holds no ill will or hatred towards her, especially since she punched Zane straight in the face which he found amusing.

Mylo: Jiro has had an argument with Mylo because he argued with Zane. Jiro thought of Mylo as an 'ungrateful bard' since he didn't thank the black star for saving him, Mylo responded with a sarcastic thanks and told him to 'pull his head out of his arse and stop being a dick.'
