Furthermore, those who want to read Jaco via Shonen Jump will notice that the bonus chapter is omitted from those included in the subscription service. No overt references are made to Dragon Ball until the bonus chapter. It's later revealed that Tights is Bulma's older sister.Įven under the assumption that fans of Dragon Ball should read Jaco since it's technically a prequel to the franchise, there isn't much to cover.

Jaco also saves the free-spirited Tights, a 17-year-old girl, from a group of thugs but attracts unwanted attention from the police and government in the process. Omori is also under threat of eviction from government officials who seek to repossess his island, a former research lab and the site of his wife's grave. The following 10 chapters of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman cover Jaco and Omori's various misadventures attempting to fix the ship, which is difficult because they need an exorbitant amount of money that neither of them has. Luckily, an old scientist named Omori shelters him and agrees to help fix his ship.

While on his way to Earth, Jaco crashes into the moon, damaging his spaceship before his arrival on Earth. Finally, Jaco is able to fly briefly by igniting his rocket boots. He also possesses an extremely powerful blaster and an "extinction bomb" which can erase all life on a planet. While no match for a grown Saiyan (his own words), Jaco is incredibly strong by Earth standards, able to easily beat up regular humans, lift his own spaceship with ease, and even kick a giant rocket a great distance. This puts them in conflict with the stronger Saiyans and Frieza Force, and it is the impending arrival of a Saiyan (later revealed to be the infant Goku) that brings Jaco to Earth in the first place. Jaco is a stereotypical-looking alien who stands at 4'10 and claims to be a "Super Elite" of the Galactic Patrol, which serves the Galactic King and polices the galaxy.
