Any bets on it being something cut from the 3 hour script?

V-Jump stuff is leaking, thanks to the reliable Ryokuta blog.

  • Piccolo and Cell have been added to Jump Force, details on Light and Ryuk's involvment
  • DBS Broly and a character that even ryokuta won't spoil have been revealed for Xenoverse 2 DLC
  • DBFZ Deluxe Edition with all the DLC included is coming, plus a Tenkaichi mode, a Z-Trophy room, and Christmas stuff
  • SDBH World Mission's story is gonna have heroes and villains suddenly appear in the real world
    • Beat apparently joins a hero team that includes Great Saiyaman 3
    • They can go into the world of Heroes by using a hero switch
    • Tutorial mode and a "super evolved" creation mode are supposedly confirmed too
  • Dragon Ball Super manga: The Tournament of Power arc ends this month.
    • While canon to the manga, Toyo will be skipping Broly to go straight into the next arc
    • If Herms is correct, then the next story is the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc.

...I'm sorry, the what arc?

Does Jaco make Freeza his bitch?

The Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc. Apparently a powerful prisoner escapes the Galactic Patrol and the Grand Supreme Kai appears... somehow.

I know, that's why I mean "somehow". To be honest, I'm not entirely sure if what has been said 100%, so take with a grain of salt until the weekend.

Since when are the Galactic Police competent enough to imprison anyone? They're most elite member is a complete dumbfuck. Now if Jaco was lying then maybe I could buy it, but Toriyama has made it clear that they still aren't a match for the Planet Trade even before Freeza came back...or maybe I'm misunderstanding that as well.

It could be a Baki situation.

These prisoners are so bored they let themselves be imprisoned to waste some time.

Jaco says he's Super Elite, not the most elite member.

According to Toriyama, the Galactic King is also a member of the Patrol, and the strongest member.

...In Dragon Ball Minus, the King and his aides shittalk Jaco because of how incompetent and impulsive he is, but. They also say he's their best hope for the mission to Earth.

Nothing about that speaks positive of him.

If he’s their only hope, they are fucking doomed.

[up][up] They do also say that Earth is unimportant enough that there's nothing to lose.

Which is funny because the food is good enough for gods of destruction to fight over.

Given which character is showing up, maybe Buu will finally get to do something. Or at least get a sliver of screen time.

It's hard to tell if Jaco is the most competent member of the GP or least competent.

Or if he's the most powerful besides the King or what.

Like. The other patrollers make fun of him and call him a loser behind his back.

But equally. Apparently when he applied to join the patrol, there were five positions open, and 9 applicants including him. So, like, 4 other people didn't get the job but he made it.

There's apparently only about 38 Patrollers total, and they could never do jack to Cold, much less Freeza, and Cold and Freeza allowed the Patrol to exist for shits and giggles.

They're only a threat to Saiyan children, and if they fail to stop the Saiyan child they have a virus to exterminate the native population so they dont have to suffer living with a Saiyan.

...Anyway, Jaco is actually strong, and he can see things people who rely solely on ki sensing like our fighters and even Beerus and possibly Whis cannot.

He can't sense or even use ki for shit though.

Jaco is probably really tough by normal standards. It's not normal for people to be able to blow up planets.

Jaco is way above normal people. In the manga, he beats up a gigantic shark with ease. I'd put him around early-mid Dragon Ball tier of power, maybe between Roshi and Tenshinhan.

DBS Broly and a character that even ryokuta won't spoil have been revealed for Xenoverse 2 DLC

Gee, I wonder who it could be...

Jaco has rocket boots.

He can only use them once per deployment though.

Doesn't Jaco have a planet destroying laser? That he definitely should not be allowed around?

Anyway, I do like that Jaco has his own niche with the "best eyes in the universe" stuff going on. Nice way to let him contribute besides pratfalls.

Isn't the Jaco manga's plot that Jaco is trying to find young Kakarrot, and if he doesn't find him, Jaco will detonate a bomb strong enough to destroy planet Earth?

As I recall, he got kicked in the face by Tights right when Goku arrived. Up until then, he'd been watching the whole time for him wasn't he? I can't remember why she did it, but probably for wacky anime reasons or something.
