How strong is Jaco?

[Blackstripe]

I can't help but be curious after reading the Fukkatsu no F manga. He seems to handle Freeza's soldiers pretty well, doesn't he? He mostly fights with a pistol, but that could just be his personal preference. That being said, he probably is low enough to have a quantifiable power level, and if it will help give him a frame of reference against, say, the Ginyu Force, feel free to provide one.

He did, after all, say that Kuririn was "so strong".

[Dyno]

Above or around 1,500... And I'm trying to be reasonable, after seeing Muten Roshi with his 139 of power level killing a vast of soldiers, he can be way much stronger than we think.

[KentalSSJ6]

Nothing can beat him. His power is maximum.

[voltlunok]

From what I can tell, Jaco's power is so great that the only foe who can reasonably challenge him is Broly. It just makes sense.

[Kaboom]

Back during his own story set before the start of the manga, he supposedly couldn't handle the average adult Saiyan. If we consider Raditz average, then Jaco and other Galactic Patrolmen are probably around 1,000 or so in power level.

But during Resurrection F, 50-ish years later? Who knows. He's probably gotten stronger.

[Lord Beerus]

Well, Jaco's BP would be roughly 800 - 1000 when he first made his debut, as according to Jaco The Galactic Patrolman, an adult Saiyan could overwhelm him. But come Resurrection F, I reckon his BP would be around 20,000 - 30,000. I mean, he was tearing through Freeza's soldiers like they were nothing.

[Polyphase Avatron]

Krillin complemented him as being powerful. So maybe he's stronger than Yamcha.

[Duo]

Hahaha, I love how battle powers can bleed into literally any connection to the franchise.

Jaco would probably be at least as strong as Taopaipai and probably weaker than Goku was at the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai (as an adult Saiyan). No idea how that carries over into the movie, since it sounds like he fights mostly with cleverness and humor.

Wasn't really that humorous. He displayed impressive speed and gunplay.

Like Roshi did? Only with a space gun, instead of just his abilities like Roshi?

Nothing Jaco does in the movie implies he's stronger than Roshi.

Wasn't it stated that Roshi had been doing secret training?

As far as I know, no.

[FoolsGil]

As far as I know, no.

I've actually been saying that. How else could he mow down scores of opponents?

Considering that these soldiers are the scraps of the fallen empire, and that even soldiers that were stationed at Freeza's personal ship on Namek were shocked by Krillin's and Gohan's 1500 power level (and were one-shotted by that power level), I don't have such a hard time believing that a great number of these soldiers are just around 100 in power level.

What I have trouble believing is the whole Piccolo thing.

[Doctor.]

Around beginning of Z Goku at best. An adult Saiyan could overwhelm him back in Jaco (and Raditz said Goku wouldn't be useless, so it's not like he was below average for Saiyan standards), and I doubt he got that much stronger.

[Polyphase Avatron]

Well there is the theory that Roshi's PL increases a lot when he bulks up for his Kamehameha and he did that against Freeza's soldiers.

[Kendamu]

I have a hard time believing that Mutenroshi had zero training between the last time we saw him fight and when I watched him fight in Resurrection F. Maybe even if it were only for a few years before the start of the movie. I can't remember where, but there was some recent tidbit from Toriyama explaining away Mutenroshi fighting in the movie. I'm totally drawing a blank, though.

[Dyno]

Well, there is an interview where Toriyama says Muten Roshi just reads porn magazines in free/peace times, so... For me, it is kind of hard to think he continues to train that hard (enough to take on some Freeza's soldiers). Has he been training all that long? Maybe. That much? Don't think so.

[Marco Polo]

Roshi works out everyday with the aerobics channel.

[Kendamu]

Apparently he did train if he's fighting them and not just getting totally destroyed. His muscular form probably had something to do with that, though. BPs are garbage so I won't go by numbers, but it must've closed the gap quite a bit as he's not known to train seriously anymore.
