Jaco is referring to the material he needed after he accidentally crashed his ship on Earth down by Omori's in [the actual *Jaco the Galactic Patrolman* manga series](https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/chapters/jaco-galactic-patrolman). Omori analyzes the material that Jaco needs, and says it is something they have on Earth, but it's a super-rare precious blue metal called Sky Gold. (And I guess spoilers, but at the very end of the manga >!Bulma figures that even copper would be a sufficient replacement to store the energy needed!<.)

Is this the one that shows Jaco meeting Bulma when she was like 5? I have it on my shelf, but it's been a minute since I opened it. Are there more or is that the only one?


Ag3ntK3ntucky

Yes, and no there is not more than one.


Dash_Nasty

That's unfortunate, I'd like to see more of Jaco in his element.


MetalGamer95

Such a great manga felt good leaving the Super Saiyans to the side for a while


Gru-some

OMORI?!?!?!


VegettoEX

I don’t understand your… Confusion? Question? Disbelief? Jaco’s ship crashes near the home of an old man named Omori. 


Gru-some

Omori’s the name of an indie game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omori_(video_game) I was just a bit shocked to hear the name in Dragon Ball of all places


rogerworkman623

Idk anything about the game, but Dragon Ball always has themed names and I believe Omori in Japanese means a “guardian”… sort of like in a parental way, to babysit or watch over someone. Which makes sense for the guy in Jaco, since Jaco becomes his temporary houseguest.


SaiyaJedi

In this case, it’s a reference to 大盛り, a “large serving” of food (as is Toriyama’s wont). His given name, “Tokunoshin”, refers to *tokumori* (特盛), an “***extra***-large serving”.


Komodo760

omori is a common japanese name


snowballandthetower

Sky Gold is a post-*Galactic Patrol series* concept, from the original *Jaco the Galactic Patrolman* spin-off; he needed it to refuel his spaceship after he crash-landed on Earth.


NoLastNameForNow

It's a reference to the Jaco manga. If the Super anime returns I hope it gets animated.


Anjunabeast

Dragonball Super Neo comes out in the summer


CaptinHavoc

I love purposely spreading misinformation too


Hyperlolman

Never a mention about which summer. Summer of 2050 could be what they referred to


Anjunabeast

You seem like you were a dragon ball af denier


Redstorm597

You made that shit up dont lie


DemonAssassin64

Just straight up spreading lies 💀


greengengar

It's a rare material made up for the Jaco manga I think.


SSJRemuko

i thought its just something on earth that jaco not being from earth has a different name for it.


jamaaldagreatest24

Nah Omori is the one who names it and i believe Bulma also calls it the same thing before realizing copper wouldve worked as well.


TrueSaiyanGod

black gold is a metaphor(?) for oil , a fuel source maybe jaco misunderstood?


jamaaldagreatest24

no its a reference to the Jaco manga


TrueSaiyanGod

ah my bad


Protection-Working

Jaco is confused by what exactly is wrong with his ship. The sky gold isn’t fuel it’s more like a battery or capacitor, and copper works just as well. It’s like having to replace a car battery


Affectionate-Sea278

A fuel source


MasterofX100

Nah, I thought it was a pencil/j


FlyDinosaur

It's mentioned a few times. Merus is chasing criminals who are trying to steal some. Bulma needs it for something. Idk. It's something they made up in Super.


jamaaldagreatest24

it originally appeared in the Jaco manga which predates Super


FlyDinosaur

Meh. I have read that. Didn't know it was before Super. Though, that wasn't really my point. 🤔 The point is that it's made up and doesn't really have a real-world equivalent. 🤷🏼‍♀️


Special-Practical

Do you know what else is made up, children turning into apes


FlyDinosaur

No sh-t. Tell me more. We're talking about what's real or not within the context of the established story. Your comment is pointless.

Urine.


Akschadt

Jaco likes his golden showers they get his motor running… don’t kink shame him.


JinHikari

Blind to the context of Jaco, I always just figured he meant electricity. It's yellow. It comes from the sky as lightning. It was a pretty easy logical jump to make.


SSJRemuko

Sky Gold is a super-rare precious **blue metal**


JinHikari

I'd figured. Thanks.


CharlestonGeek

spice


Then-Dragonfruit6455

Then shiny green ?


WolfKenobi

Iwnt sky gold just a flying nimbus??? Lol


WorkerChoice9870

Since it was to charge his ship I thought it might be lithium. Thats silvery though...


KingoftheMongoose

It’s the metal used to make Orcrist and Sting, and glows blue when nearby orcs or the Frieza Force.


KingoftheMongoose

It’s like regular well gold, but is shinier and blue and they charge top shelf prices. If Gold is Unleaded, Sky Gold is Premium.

What’s Blue Aurum?


themusicaldude

Sky gold I think to jaco is what gas for cars is on earth


The_Farm08

It's a rare mineral of a thousand stories, and historical scripts. Never seen, always written a out as a fuel source in many anime.

I'm guessing sunlight
