Jaco Teirimentenpibosshi, also known as Mask Man, is the main protagonist and the title character of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman and a supporting character in the film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ and Dragon Ball Super. He is a klutzy expendable member of the Galactic Patrol who believes he is a super elite. Bulma befriended Jaco when she was a little girl.
He also appeared in Dragon Ball Xenoverse.
He is voiced by Natsuki Hanae in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Todd Haberkorn in the English version.
Bio[]
Jaco is a Galactic Patrolman who was sent to Earth in order to intercept a dangerous alien sent to the planet. However, upon arrival he damages his spaceship, leaving him with Omori, a retired scientist who used to deal in Time Travel experiments. Together, Jaco and Omori have various mishaps involving their attempts to fix Jaco's spaceship, intercept the incoming alien invader and prevent an upcoming rocket launch with a famed singer An Azuki from ending in tragedy.
Personality[]
Jaco is an alien who has a large amount of pride in his duties. He is also somewhat blank, as he was willing to use an Extinction Bomb to wipe out humanity just because Omori criticized them. He also views anyone who cannot live up to his expectations as inferior. However, this idea may be due to his extreme loyalty to his planet, so he will agree with their views on humanity.
He can also be cowardly, as he attempted to flee when Golden Frieza arrived, despite his duty to protect the Earth, and chose not to arrest Beerus or Whis for manipulating time out of fear (even though he criticized Bulma for bringing this up). He usually reacts this way when faced up against some of the most powerful warriors in the universe.
He disregards myths, which was shown when he did not believe Bulma when she said her husband was training with Beerus, the God of Destruction. When he saw Beerus personally, he was shocked that he really existed and tried to get a picture but stopped after Bulma stated he might get destroyed. He also chose not to arrest Beerus or Whis for manipulating time out of fear.
He also tends to get panicked quite easily if it involves his own well-being. He is known to be afraid of Bulma for her flaring temper, although he often offends her by commenting on her appearance, showing he can be quite obtuse and he has shown to fear Vegeta for his notorious reputation as the Saiyan prince. He also hates to be called short, as he nearly killed a civilian for it. While known for his sarcasm and snide remarks, Jaco also possesses a perverted side, such as commenting how low Bulma's breasts have fallen since becoming a mother and making a comment on her and Vegeta's "pillow talk" (marital intimacy) when he learned she was married to the Saiyan Prince. He also seems to be somewhat incompetent as he was supposed to kill the young Goku to prevent him from destroying the Earth and he failed in that casting doubt on his status as an elite patrolman. He is also somewhat careless as he accidentally destroyed a Galactic Monument with his ship's weapons and is noted to be a bumbler by his superiors. He also seems to have an inflated sense of his own importance.
Despite Jaco's cowardly nature, Jaco is capable of moments of bravery. As when Piccolo appologizes to him for dragging him into this fight, he says that Moro escaped their custody and since Earth is his sector, he might as well go down with the ship. Even when cornered, despite being terrified and knowing he was no match for Moro, he still chooses to fight and shoot him rather than run away or plead for his life even when he was the last man standing, proving that even with his cowardly nature he is still capable of acting heroic when the time comes down to it.
Abilities[]
Compared to the other Z-Warriors, anyway. Jaco lacks any ki-related special abilities and can't even fly unassisted. He makes up for it with his skill with a laser gun, ingenious on-the-fly strategies and impressive acrobatics. It helps that he's also strong enough to lift several tonnes, though this is also puny compared to the Earth defenders' feats.
