Just because she married a prince doesn't mean that she gets a fortune but then when I first thought about Bulma's home, the little tip bits of information given in the early days of DB, I thought she lived in a wooden cabin of sorts and she found the first dragon ball in the roof forgotten, but then I see her home which was a bit strange yet kind of smart when it comes to rain water, then there is the family which is even stranger and at first glance, you would not think they were her parents.

​@valentds I've never shipped them but even well after Vegeta and Bulma were a thing, Bulma still seems to look to Goku as the savior who can always bail everyone out of any given situation and save everything. Her first thoughts are always to Goku, not Vegeta. Again, i dont ship them but i think it speaks volumes about how close she is with Goku that she always thinks of him first. Her and Nami honestly feel very similar in that regard, having virtually no romantic interests in their protagonists but seeing them as the primary saviors and emotionally closest friends they have.

Bulma's character development from a bratty, spoilt rich girl to an empathetic, kind-hearted, strong-willed, mature genius is second in importance and greatness only to that of Vegeta's in the entire series. The dragon radar, the time machine, the hardship and sacrifices raising Mirai Trunks in a dilapidated world, and of course last but definitely not the least, changing Vegeta as a person. Despite having a power level in the single digits, she is more important than 95% of the characters in a series centered around unworldly power.

dont even compare the future bulma with the present one.... The future version is the best version of bulma there is.... She is intelligent,caring and headsrong when it comes to matters at hand... On the other hand the present bulma takes fucking 6 month old kid into the battle that might destroy the entire earth in android arc and it was purely her appearance that acted as a distraction that let gero flee. Dont even get me started on the freeza arc, that is the brattiest most heartless bulma i have ever seen and then there is cell saga; Gohan has just seen his father almost dying due to the virus. He has no idea if his father is even alive or in what condition he is in and this fucking stupid bulma drags that kid to her home first because she has to change trunk's diaper who shouldn't even be taken in such a dangerous fight!!!!!!!!!!!

Female viewer here, Tbh bulma kinda the best handled female in dragonball, she isn’t shunned to the side the moment she has a kid and she has a life outside of her relationship with vegeta and is still able to contribute to the story of dragonball through being the tech expect who gives resources to the main cast aswell as being kinda a flawed character. I love how supportive yet kinda vain and assholeish she is, like its nice to see a female with multiple flaws instead of being 100% perfect and boring.

She was never a fighter, she had great power pushed on to her but she just wanted something stable out of life, she got that. She was done far less dirty than Videl or Chi Chi

Prince Black Elf while at least with videl im not nearly as disappointed since at least theres some potential with pan and her looking up her grandfather that super could explore, id love to see goku training pan, whereas with maron.. she’s not a character, she’s a plot device to explain why the writers won’t let 18 fight with the z fighters and its kinda disappointing. yeah chi chi got terrible treatment but at least it wasn’t that bad back in the day since bulma and launch were very different characters from her but now when literally every female now in dragonball is either op with no personality, suddenly becomes a stay at home housewife after having one kid.. it just seems like the writers are lazy. Not that theres anything wrong with women who legit just wanna stay at home and raise kids, i think showing different women is fine, but when 18 and videl end up like that is a little bit disappointing.

I liked Bulma's general character growth throughout Dragon Ball, and to me was a great example of showing that characters not immediately present in the story (like when Goku goes off to beat the Red Ribbon Army or trains for a tournament) still have lives going on with other characters and their own experiences. After the later half of the Red Ribbon Army, she started to settle into the background as a supportive side character through the rest of Dragon Ball and Z, but it truly always felt, even up to present day Super, that she is an important member of the Z-Team with an entertaining personality and a dear friend to the gang. Edit: Just wanted to add the point to this, that Bulma's character in Dragon Ball was a great step for female characters, but it is still just a step. I really wish Bulma was more prevalent in the series.

When properly used it makes the world and characters feel more real. When badly used it is a case of "Thinking up plot is hard so how about boobies instead?". There is actual porn with better stories than the mountains of lazy ecchi fan service series. Porn isn't known for story telling so when it does a better job that really says something about the quality of the writing for the fan service heavy series.

You're using this meme so horribly.

For all the focus we've had on Goku, Gohan, and even Vegeta, we can't really overlook that. Bulma's been involved in some way in most, if not, all of the arc's main stories. Be it as a plot device (the dragon radar, or connections to outer space via jaco and later whis), or the catalyst for the entire story, she's been relevant the entire time. Sure, in some instances, it's contrived and forced, like getting the dragonballs stolen during the Broly movie, but at the end of the day, she's often involved BECAUSE of her intelligence. She made the dragon radar on her own, and started the story. But at the end of the day: she's a plot device with skills she's willing to use, and they're used in natural ways. Nothing about bulma comes off as forced.... Well, except for coincidentally having a sister that had contact with Jaco and the space police. BUT this served to expand the universe for Super, so we have to accept it. She tends to set off the arc and have Goku and Vegeta clean up the mess. I feel she's a great character as is. She's still integral to the story, even if it is only on occasion and comes off as a plot device. She's the most intelligent person around, and it's good to have her do things only SHE can do.

Pretty much only Goku, Tien, Roshi and Korin had any relevance in that arc. And it's unfair to mention tournaments since she's not a fighter, all she can do is root for the heroes. As for your mentions of Freeza, Cell and Buu... well she does bring the radar and flies the ship to Namek, although I do admit she is very underused. But she helps a LOT during the Cell Saga. Heck, she's the catallyst of the entire arc, having created the Time Machine and all, she removed the bomb from 16 which, although caused him to not be able to blow up Cell, he would've probably killed every Z-fighter but Gohan, Vegeta and Trunks with the explosion anyway. In Buu Saga, again, only Goku, Vegeta, Mr. Satan and Dende really matter in this arc, everyone else either gets hyped up for nothing (Gohan, Goten, Trunks, 18, Videl, Tien, Krillin...) or straight up just hang out And Super's been pretty consistent in keeping her relevant through its arcs, being the catallyst to the whole stuff in BoG, calling Whis to warn Goku and Vegeta about Freeza in RoF, finding the Super Dragon Ball in U6 Tournament, refuelling/ fixing the Time Machine in FT arc, getting the DBs stolen from her in DBS Broly and she'll probably be the one to gather the Z-Fighters to fight against Moro's forces in the GPP Arc

@@razkable Yeah, but contrary to the others, Bulma's been there start to finish.

Bulma got hotter as she got older. All her different hair and dress styles are awesome which is a nice contrast to characters like Goku. She's also very feminine without being in your face about it.. One of my favorite scenes is when Vegeta returns to Earth and him and Bulma are going at it.. She knows he's a Saiyan and could easily kill her and everyone but she just does not give a fuck. Prolly cuz she sees a bit of herself in him. Personally, I'd love to see more Bulma and more Bulma and Vegeta. I'm fine watching a scene of two people talking even if the show is supposed to be "action" based. What people call filler, I just see as characters being them. Like Bulma, Krillin and Gohan on fake Namek is them having an adventure together before the shit hits the fan. Gohan and Krillin bonding so when Freiza kills him and Gohan flips the fuck out, we have alot to work with ontop of everything else, there's a more personal connection. Bulma can give us that personal connection with much of the story if done right.

Bulma will always stay relevant no matter what. Damn she does more then Tein, Roshi and Yamacha. That's just sad.

Bulma is underrated because she was never a fighter but she was always one of the most important characters in the show. In dragonball, she was a main character. In Z, she was always part of the story even if she didn't fight. She invented time travel ffs and was pretty much the reason why the Android Saga even happened. She is also the biggest factor in Vegeta's redemption, and to this day, she is still a big character. Befriending even gods like Beerus and Whis.

8:26 that’s one of my favourite editions of the manga , trunks mentioning bulma’s desire to travel back and see Vegeta

I was so hungry for a new video from you that I went back and watched your old stuff from before I found you channel. This is probably your most important video. Thanks for making it.

Gotta say, i've been subbed and watching your videos before dragon ball super ended (well before, used to watching your old top 10 animated moments stuff) and your content, while I love always, has definitely improved. From looking at animation of a show you are passionate about, to breaking down and analyzing the writing, to even creating your own takes on Game Cover(s) and the series itself. It's awesome and I never get tired of looking in my YT notifications to see one of your videos. Great work, and thanks for posting.

To be honest, I've never been quite into the voice actors, so as far as I was concerned Rial IS Bulma. However, after looking it up, Tiff is the voice I remember from Dragonball. Though Rial does come close. We all need to remember that, at the moment, we have a reason to despise Rial due to Vic. If that hadn't happened, would we still be on the hate train? I'm not saying I support Rial, because I don't, but consider.

Great video and analysis of Bulma.

I love how she flaunts her beauty and that she's in contol of her body and looks and will do what she needs to do to get what she wants. She's not shy at all in any way and she's not afraid to tell you like it is. She knows she's hot she knows she's smart so why not use it to her advantage. She's a genius and she's crazy confident.

Hi Mark, I'm pretty sure that you won't see this comment but I want to say this anyway. I love your videos because their so informative and interesting. Your videos have helped me with some of my ideas for a fan-story I've been wanting to write for a while. In fact, your content actually inspired me to write an informative speech on why desire and struggles matter to a story and how this mold could possibly be broken for my college public speaking class that I presented this Monday. I'm glad to have found your channel, because your videos are both entertaining and informative. And your content can really help people understand that anime is more than just "Japanese Cartoons". That there are a lot of important writing steps and processes that have to be utilized correctly in order for it to be loved by it's audience. TL;DR - I really enjoy the content you create, am glad to have subscribed and can't wait for your next video.

I love Bulma as a whole, watching her being smart was always a pleasure and being the only one who can actually nag Vegeta is just funny. Thanks Mark ^^

I mean, technically speaking, every main character would be dead if it wasn’t for Bulma.

She changed vegeta too, she has done a lot throughout the series.

thanks for the text buzz in the video, I kept rewinding it and was going crazy

Man, Bulma looks stunning in the thumbnail, thanks for the video Mark.

I think Totally Not Mark will review every character of Dragon Ball.

0:50 - I'm the type of person who hears _"female empowerment"_ and roles my eyes. Yet I still take an interest in female characters who are more than just boring, annoying, or condescending archetypes and, especially with anime, take an interest in and have an appreciation for female characters who are written well and play some sort of meaningful role in the story - and I've become rather jaded with all of the typical damsels and fanservice dispensers. I don't think this a decisive topic, I just think It's handled in a divisive way by many of the people who immerse themselves in it, and those people are often overly averse to hearing out the other side... When it comes to Bulma, she's a strange blend of archetypal fanservice and a unique and refreshing character. Now that you've pointed it out, I do see the ways in which her character journey has come second to that of others as well as her own role in the story, which is arguably on par with that of Goku's and makes her more integral than most of the fighters, even now - Not that it erases the fact that her character arc has gone largely ignored. It's especially sad with Future Bulma who could have easily had the most compelling story in all of DBZ if explored deeper. It could be that Toriyama didn't much care to make it focus for her or it may be simply be a result of the priorities of Shounen genre, but it was a missed opportunity nonetheless. In spite of all this, Bulma managed to remain one of anime's most iconic female characters and everyone can agree that she's totally awesome.

Never waited to make a video about bulma. I'm so happy you mentioned her first voice actor rest in peace Hirosu tsuru 😭

Finally the video I was waiting for! Phylasvell already summarized everything that I love about the character. Bulma is the quintessential female character and not quite a role model, just a perfectly balanced organic character between flaws & strengths. Also prop for putting the 0:08 message at the beginning of the video and not at the end.
