"Jaco the Galactic Patrolman" discussion (incl. "DB Minus")

[Avenged]

Chapter 3 is out.

Yes, it is. Is there anything else you can add to the discussion? Did you buy it? Did you read it? Was there anything you found particularly interesting about it?

Here you go ièm pretty sure posting this is allowed.

No, linking to scanlations is not allowed. Period.

And yes I read it.

This is random, but I have been trying to buy the digital version of Weekly Shonen Jump for the last few days and finally found an eBook store that doesn't deny American credit cards or only allow you to download if you have a Kindle. I already own the first chapter of Jaco in English and Japanese (physical copy), so I was only interested in owning "Cross Epoch." Is this the first time it's available since the original printings in Weekly Shonen Jump and Viz's Shonen Jump?

Also, how is chapter three already available? Wasn't the second chapter released only two days ago? I've looked at the first few pages, and Jaco's flashback (?) seems interesting. I'm going to wait for Viz's release next week. Lastly, how is Viz's translation? I was able to translate the "And this is where I live alone..." sentence and it seemed to match Viz's version. Any thoughts?

Spoiler:

And we can see a Namekian. Maybe just an easter egg...?

I think so. Also maybe Kurigashira Daigoro(Dr. Slump) cameo.Or just a character that looks like him.

Scanlations based on a leaked and illegally-uploaded copy of the chapter.

I'll be reading it Monday morning when the magazine is actually out, so no unmarked spoilers, please.

Sounds interesting! Wish I could read it though...I'll just stick with the spoilers...

Yuppp....And I can't download the app either. I don't understand why they can't allow Paypal or something, and make it available for more European countries.

[Cold Skin]

^ They're also locking the English Full-Color Manga on Mangapolo in the same way, so it's definately something they take special care to do.

We are not supposed to be able to read Japanese, but everyone learns English at school. So if we had access to the English versions, they likely think it could be a risk of diminishing other countries' sells cause there's a chance it would be enough for us to properly follow the story and not need any local translation.

Don't forget that if it's like France, European publishers interact with Shueisha "throught Viz Media", so Viz must be pretty much aware of what European publishers are planning to do and what they should do not to negatively impact the future number of products sold in their partners' respective countries.

I cant read anything besides chapter 1. dont find it anywhere
first time this is happening.

I bet chapter one's slow pacing made the scansalators lose interest in it and drop the series, which coincidentally helps Viz as they won't have to compete with scans for Jaco after all.

Well, I don't know about the iPad/Phone/Pod apps, but the Android app is working fine for me (in Austria). Although I had to install it by googling its name, as the Play Store's built-in search couldn't find it

Aww, that's a shame...

Well damn, so I gotta go through Viz eh? I've always considered subscribing to Jump, I guess now's the time.

[Tzigi]

Tried googling it and had no problem finding chinese scanlations.

Could you provide a link to this app? I'd also gladly install it (and hope it works in Poland).

And was that a Cashman joke in Chapter 3???

[SaiyaJedi]

Have now read chapter 3 in both Japanese and English.

Random thoughts:

Spoiler:

- There appears to be a Namekian Galactic Patrolman.
- Is that newsanchor related to the principal of Penguin Village's school?
- Ōmori gives prices in yen, rather than zenii.
- The "East City" of the chapter has the same name as the place leveled by Nappa in Dragon Ball.
- I also noticed the Cashman thing, and I doubt it was completely accidental (though I suppose it could just be Toriyama reusing material he forgot he'd already used before).

This chapter also continues the relaxed pacing we've seen so far, but I get the sense that things will start to get pretty crazy once they're out in the city.

Spoiler:

My guess is that there will end up being some sort of problem with the rocket when it launches, forcing Jaco to save An and having her end up joining the group, as seen in the initial promo artwork for the series.

[JeffJarrett]

Do you think Toriyama has already draw all the 11 chapters and sent them to Shueisha before the first was even released or is he still drawing them right now?
