The only weakpoint of this character’s introduction is that his backstory is largely glossed over (until this film, he’d only appeared in the aforementioned manga), and we’re just supposed to assume Bulma and Jaco know each other from the past. He’s hilarious, smooth in a fight, and willing to let galactic crime go unpunished to make himself look good.

Jaco might be my favorite part of this film, even though he’s pretty much on the sidelines for much of the movie. The most lasting effect this film has for the overall saga and Dragon Ball Superis the big screen introduction of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, a character series creator Akira Toriyama introduced in 2013 in a Dragon Ballspinoff manga and who is set to appear in the new anime series. Still, this movie is so incredibly worth the watch. Instead, the film revisits old storylines (satisfyingly) in a largely standalone manner.

When all is set and done, Resurrection Fdoesn’t leave us with any big character or plot development that leads into Dragon Ball Super, the brand new anime that just premiered in Japan. Editor’s Note: This review contains spoilers for the film and the series in general.ĭragon Ball Z: Resurrection F is an important chapter in the Dragon Ball saga despite its no consequence approach to the overall story.
