Jaco really needs to be involved in something major in Dragon Ball Super. He is just too awesome and funny of a character to be sitting on the sidelines.

I wouldn't want Jaco to just be shoehorned in, though. If it doesn't concern the Galactic Patrol, then I'm not sure why he'd come.

Unless Kuririn & Jaco fight crime every-so-often in U7 while everyone else is fighting in U6.

He(Jaco) could show up to say that inter-universal traveling is illegal. How will they travel? Bulma to build a machine or will it be a God's thing.

agreed he is easily one of my favorite characters toriyama has ever made and the thought of him being a large-ish character in Super would be awesome

I agree that he shouldn't be shoehorned in. That'd be dumb but making a reason for him to be in the show wouldn't be too hard at all. for example Whis got in trouble with the whole reverse time thing in ROF so Galactic patrol puts in under watch and Jaco gets the job.

It was said Beerus and Whis are series regulars for Super so I'm pretty sure they're going as well. I don't see how Goku and company would even get there without them. I doubt you can just travel to another universe via a space ship.

Also guessing Whis is the one who can help them travel to Universe 6.

Probably not, but...

They could use the spaceship as base of operations/home while they explore Universe 6.

the thought of the Galactic patrol not having a ship that can travel between dimensions is silly to me.

but at this point though, I'm just trying to come up with reasons for Jaco to show up...when there really is no reason for him to. :cry:

Is it just me, or have they made SSG Goku more muscular for Super?

Assuming that's art for the new "Super Beerus Arc" for Heroes.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. For an organization that's supposed to patrol the mortal universe, they apparently think of Beerus as nothing more than a myth. Seeing how it was gods that revealed the whole 12 Universe situation, it seems like something that might not be on the Galactic Patrol's radar. Actually, at this point, I'd be surprised if they even knew about the afterlife and its gods, Makai and any of that stuff from their own universe...

It is, but almost all promotional art for Heroes originates as card art. Case in point, that big splash image is actually used in the background of the SSG Goku card they are promoting. Just like everything else with Heroes art, they are not always on model: colors can be wrong, designs can be messed up, etc. Don't take it as evidence of anything.

Well, the Galactic Patrol were the first to hear of Freeza's revival, ahead of any of the Kaio, Kaioshin or even Whis.

I think it's far-fetched to think they'd have a machine to travel between universes, or that they even know there are more than one, though.

Honestly they spend a lot of time(?) trying to hide his arms in official ssjg Gokû art. Stuff for VJump, stuff for Heroes; they almost always pose him so you can't see his arms all that well (it's kind of entertaining to me to watch them try); which is what I think the above is part of.

Likely because their job is to protect the universe, and they probably kept tabs on the organization even after Freeza's defeat because they were still causing a ruckus. So his return would eventually end up on their radar, while the gods have other things to attend to.

Well we've really only have seen Galactic patrol through Jaco, and he crashed his ship into the moon watching netflix so you know grain of salt really. I think its safe to assume there is some high level players in the Galactic patrol. Jaco says he's super elite but I can say I'm a polar bear, doesn't make it true. :lol:

Anyone think some of the maincast might actually stay in the universe 6 for ever?

For example, if Piccolo goes there, he might meet someone/or just stay there.

Or we might get someone from the universe 6 to come back with the gang and stay in universe 7?

It's possible, but I hope they don't get rid of Piccolo, if anything I'd like to see him become more relevant. I can't see him wanting to travel to other universes, though, especially not with a group of people, unless his presence is absolutely necessary.

Based on the poster : Goku,Vegeta&Piccolo.

Beerus and whis were announced as regulars so you can add them to the cast as well.

You're right, it probably doesn't mean anything, but I'm hoping it is evidence they are going to tweak his design a bit. Skinny Goku is the only thing I don't really like about BoG, and whenever I watch it I try to ignore it and tell myself he's not that skinny, but he really looks like a teenager.
