Jaco is basically Kiyone Makibi

[mochi]

except male, and without any of the stuff that made her likeable

also, that theme at the end of the DBS clip sounds just like Kiyone and Mihoshi's theme from Tenchi in Tokyo

 

[Jman]

Kiyone was likable?

 

She made sense in that one OVA about Mihoshi's story because she was the straight woman to the insanity (and Mioshi was still likable back then).

most people think Kiyone is more likable than her OVA counterpart "Noike"

(who as it turns out both is AND isn't Kiyone, she's based on the same (at the time nameless) base character design Kajishima had made for Mihoshi's galaxy police partner, but apparently Kajishima and his co-author couldn't agree on what the character should be like, Kiyone's creator wanted her to be strong and tough, but Kajishima said "strong women don't exist" so his co-writer basically said, "if you think you can do it better than fine" and left the series, ultimately Kajishima named his version of that character Noike and she is a great deal less interesting than Kiyone with a much less distinct personality)

 

other than Noike being a lot more subdued and having a much more bizzare backstory they're ultimately the same character though

[Daos]

It always sounds like they're saying jack off when they say his name.

[mochi]

I find Goku saying he likes Chichi because she's strong willed in the above scene a bit ironic in retrospect

 

 

since he confesses to not really caring that much about her and says he's never even kissed her in a future arc, to Vegeta's confusion and concern

More like Jaco is basically Scrappy Doo, but with Todd Haberkorn's voice.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one here who even likes Jaco, even if he isn't necessarily my favorite. |::

I genuinely thought everyone hated Jaco

[PokeNirvash]

Nah, I actually think he's alright. A little overly neurotic and cowardly, but fairly fun. The fact that I'm not sick of Todd Haberkorn's voice like everyone else helps with that.

[Sandstone]

Jaco....

 

Hey remember that guy Bulma knew once? Yeah, why don't we have him show up at convenient times to explain plot elements to the audience? That seems like a great idea!

[CaptainStarwind]

I genuinely thought everyone hated Jaco

 

I'm honestly really ambivalent about him.  To me, he's really just kinda "there".  I don't really think about where he came from or how Bulma knows him, because I learned that putting thought into the "why" questions of Dragon Ball Super will just lead to me being even more confused and dissatisfied.
