"What the bleedin' hell?! We were havin' a right ripsnorter here, and then this piker shows up and just like that it's 'Goodnight, Irene'!"
— "Stop! Celebrate and Witness, Goku's Back From 100X Fitness!"

Jeice (ジース, Jīsu) is a member of the mercenary Ginyu Force squadron and the partner of Burter. He is from Space Australia (more specifically, Space Brisbane. GO SPACE BRONCOS) and is described of being a short, white-haired, red-skinned humanoid alien.

Personality[]

Jeice is by far the most level-headed member of the Ginyu Force, often ending up as the voice of reason between Guldo's bitterness, Recoome's larger-than-life showmanship, Burter's insecurities and Ginyu's strict military conduct. He legitimately considered the rest of his team as close friends (with the exception of Guldo) and was deeply devastated by their defeats.

He considers Burter to be his best friend, and was able to talk his teammate down from his fit over being challenged as the fastest being in the universe. Out of all his teammate's deaths, Burter's devastated Jeice the most, causing him to retreat from the battle.

Jeice is also highly and openly patriotic, frequently referencing his homeworld of Space Australia to the annoyance of others.

Biography[]

Jeice arrives on Planet Namek along with the rest of his comrades to deliver the new updated scouter to Freeza. After doing a quick warm-up routine, the Ginyu Force heads out to track down Vegeta, Krillin and Gohan and retrieve the Dragon Balls that Vegeta had previously stolen.

After confronting Vegeta and co. and stealing all seven Dragon Balls, Jeice, Burter, Recoome, and Guldo play Wheel of Death to decide on who gets to kill who. Unfortunately for Jeice, he gets a bankrupt, meaning that he does not get to fight anyone. Jeice was the first person to witness Guldo's death, resulting in Burter and Recoome forcing him to tell the news to Captain Ginyu. Jeice and Burter later spectate Recoome's fight against Vegeta and later against Krillin and Gohan. Just as Reccome was about to finish Gohan off, Goku arrives on Namek and revives Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta with a Senzu Bean before taking out Recoome with one blow to the stomach.

Infuriated at Goku's intervention, Jeice and Burter use the Seizure Procedure technique, which has no effect on Goku (though it does manage to work on Krillin). Realizing that Goku is still standing, Jeice and Burter proceed to go to plan B and assault Goku head on. As Jeice starts threatening Goku, the Saiyan starts repeatedly punching him in the face, much to the Space Australian's chagrin. Burter and Jeice proceed to attack Goku, but the he manages to effortlessly hold his own against the two and knocks them away. As Jeice starts to get frustrated, Burter manages to calm him down and on working up a new plan which is mostly regarding his title as "the fastest in the universe". Eventually Jeice gets annoyed over this and states to Burter that Ginyu and Freeza are faster than him due to them having higher power levels and that technically Guldo's also faster than him due to being able to stop time. This causes Burter to become infuriated as he claims to not be slower than Guldo, but then starts breaking down because he believes that he has no special ability and is just the "big blue snake guy". Jeice denies this as he states that he's his best friend, which is something special according to him. In the middle of their bromance, Goku takes down Burter, knocking him unconscious, while asking Jeice if there's a Denny's on Namek. Horrified at the apparent loss of his best mate, Jeice flies off to inform Captain Ginyu so that he could come and beat Goku up.

Jeice is later seen reporting to Captain Ginyu about the deaths of Recoome, Burter, Guldo and accompanies him in confronting Goku and the others. Jeice remains on the sidelines as a spectator as Ginyu fight Goku in a one-on-one battle. Jeice later suggests Captain Ginyu to use the body changing technique, which he uses after seeing Goku's true power to far exceed his own.

Jeice tags along with Captain Ginyu (who in Goku's body) back to Freeza's ship and found out that someone has dug up the DragonBalls. Unaware of the switch, Krillin happily tells Ginyu that he and Gohan are the ones who dug up the Dragon Balls and notices Jeice, asking why is the Space New Zealand guy there with him (much to Jeice's annoyance). Ginyu then slaps Krillin in the face before revealing that he has switched bodies with their former comrade, Goku, and overwhelms both Krillin and Gohan in battle before Goku (in Ginyu's badly damaged body) arrives at the scene. Jeice is later confronted by a newly recovered Vegeta, who challenges him with his newfound strength.

While trading blows with one another, Vegeta announces that he has killed six of Freeza's flunkies and asks Jeice if he would like to be number seven. Jeice then tells Vegeta to piss off and punches him in the face, which has no effect on the Saiyan prince. Jeice wonders how Vegeta has managed to increase his strength in a short amount of time. Vegeta then hands him the Saiyan Official Handbook and Jeice realises that he is "f**ked right in the down-under" after going through a quick read through. Vegeta then mercilessly executes him by blasting him point-blank in the face.

Jeice along with the rest of the deceased Ginyu Force (minus Captain Ginyu) later arrive at King Kai's planet to take it over for Freeza. Just like his comrades, he gets sent to straight into Hell by King Kai.

HFIL[]

Jeice, just like the other members of the Ginyu Force, as well as Freeza, Zarbon, Dodoria, King Cold and later Cell, was condemned to Hell, specifically the Home For Infinite Losers (HFIL) on account of being too powerful for regular Hell. He's first introduced with the rest of his team (sans Ginyu) playing beer pong, with Jeice openly voicing his displeasure of not being allowed beer in HFIL forcing them to use Shasta instead. To welcome Cell as their new neighbor, Jeice and the rest of the Ginyu Force perform the "Twerk-a-rena", much to Cell's utter horror.

During the first sharing circle Jeice is the last in line to admit to his death at Vegeta's hands (coinciding as also being the literal last of the group to be killed by him.)

During Cell and Freeza's dodgeball grudge match, instead of partaking directly, Jeice and Burter are assigned as commentators and possible judges on account of Jeice being given an official HFIL Völkerball rules book.

Following Cell's constant assaults by Ginyu (in truth a frog inhabiting Ginyu's body) and threatening to out the Ginyu Force bad neighbors to Goz and Mez, the group get up to committing constant practical jokes on Cell appearing initially as mishaps, largely committed by Guldo with his time stopping ability. Cell finally retaliates by abducting Frog Ginyu, complete with a ransom note, to force an apology from the group. When this fails the two sides get into a short fight out in the cul-de-sac, the Ginyu Force being clearly outmatched, even with Jeice double-teaming Cell with Burter, resulting in a repeat from his life as Burter accidentally punches him in the face. Jeice then threatens Cell with blowing up his house via bombs Guldo had planted when looking for Ginyu, to which Cell responds by ballooning into his self-destruct form, forcing a mutually assured destruction Mexican standoff between the two sides.

The debacle is diffused when Goz and Mez intervene, scolding both parties for being outside after curfew and admit to Ginyu having indeed swapped bodies with a frog and the mix-up was entirely due to clerical error from management (which no-one wanted to admit to). The Ginyu Force are elated that their captain might still be alive somewhere, to which they quickly realize the Ginyu they were outside fighting for wasn't their actual captain and were close to dismissing him. Guldo interjects, making his case that Frog Ginyu, whom he'd grown fond of and accepted as his friend was just as much as the true Ginyu and how the others had initially treated as such, while also fully accepting the rest of the team as his friends despite their mistreatment of Guldo. This has an affect on Jeice and the rest of the Ginyus who openly accept Frog Ginyu as much a part of their team. Afterward Cell releases Frog Ginyu, whom had been swallowed by Super Kami Guru who then regurgitates him out.

During King Cold's inspection of the current resident of HFIL, while partaking in the human ladder exercise, Jeice is confused regarding the term "human".

Trivia[]

  • Jiece being from Space Brisbane, Space Australia is a reference to Jeice's Ocean Dub voice actor, Scott McNeil, who is also from Brisbane, Australia.
    • The original Ocean Dub gave Jeice a more Liverpudlian accent (similar to Red Dwarf's Craig Charles) compared to the FUNimation dub's Australian.
    • Jeice's DBZA voice actor, Gangxingba, was at the time of the character's debut the only voice actor among the cast to have actually spent time in Australia, and was instrumental in writing his lines.
  • Jiece's favorite sport's team is Space Broncos. He is also mentioned to own a piano, and live(ed) in a flat, judging by his conversation with Burter.
    • Originally, Kaiserneko and Lanipator wanted to have Jiece be a native of Space Sydney, Sydney being one of the most well-known cities in Australia. However, this would in turn make Jiece's favorite sports team the "Space Swans", so Brisbane was chosen instead.
  • It is revealed in "Revenge of Cooler" that he is cousins with the Space-French Sauza of Cooler's Armored Squadron, referencing the Budokai Tenkaichi games claiming they met before and are rivals.
    • In the original series, Jeice and Sauza are only from the same star system
  • Jeice's original Japanese name/romanization "Jiisu" is a pun on cheese, hence why the Viz manga spells it "Cheese". One could theorize his dub name is a pun on "Juice" as well.
  • Jeice's final living words, "Clever girl..." are a reference to the character Robert Muldoon from the movie Jurassic Park, who spoke such words in shock as a raptor jumped him from behind. In actuality, Robert Muldoon was South African, but is mistaken for an Australian by most audiences.
  • He has the most episode appearances out of all members of the Ginyu Force with 6 episodes (7 if counting DragonThing Z Kai)
  • In Takahata101's recordings for Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Jeice's Crusher Ball move is referred to as "Space Australia", refencing Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
