I suppose they felt that their pseudo-saber design was more accurate that way.

Nice! I hope you enjoy Jaco since I like it myself. Some fans are mixed on Dragon Ball Minus which is the bonus chapter at the end of Jaco. Also nice SHF Perfect Cell as well. I hope you got it for a good deal since he is like over $100 on the after market these days.

Jaco was great! Would love to see it as an OVA. But wow was Minus terrible. I'll keep the Bardock movie as the true series prequel. And yeah I paid a lot for Cell but considering he goes for like $220 and up generally, $180 seemed fair.

What is wrong with Minus? It makes far more sense than Bardock. Plus, we meet Goku's mother.

I agree with you on Jaco getting an OVA, it would be fantastic. Although, with how short anime seasons are these days, it might even work as a single season show.

I wholly disagree. Minus is just contradictory non-sense to me. I'll gladly take what we already had over a huge retcon like it. But that's beside the point. It felt more like parody than anything.

Either Way I think Jaco could work very well as a 4-8 part OVA series. His appearance in Resurrection of F makes me hopeful it could happen.

Even though seeing baby goku was anime only filler and was used for roshi explanation to make sense back then in the anime. In all farness manga never showed what goku looked like as a baby so stating he was three year old when he landed on earth. From Vegeta make sense. Plus old people use term baby for up to three anyway so minus is more cannon to manga material. Bardock more cannon to anime series due to the filler I mention. Also Jaco had a panel that featured goku in armour so that even more make the to special non cannon due to the Jaco take place before dragon ball events and minus is set before Jaco so I dunno why people think bardock TV special need to be cannon like stated before bardock special only fits in the anime time line any way so yea.

I liked Minus too.

But Dragon Ball was a parody because it was meant to be a comedy series. Minus isn't contradictory in the slightest because Toriyama never wrote an origin story for Goku. Now he has, so this is the official story. It makes far more sense than Bardock being turned into a clairvoyant by a magic spell.

Anyway, I can't wait to see Jaco in F. Hvae they announced who is doing his English voice yet?
